THE HUSH LAND BILL. GOYEItN.UEXT SUSTAIN A SETBACK. Keceived July 11, ...., p.m. " London, July 10. The House of Commons, in committee, considered the Irish Land Bill. Mr. Redmond's amendment to omit idle increase in the purchase annuity (which, under the lirst clause, Svas intended to provide sufficient interest to ensure the issue of three per cent, stock) was supported by Mr. Wyndhnm and other Unionists. The amendment was negatived by 184 to 149, amidst great excitement. The small amendment standing in Mr. Birrell's name was carried by 177 to 143. Finally a motion that the clause stand as part of the Hill was carried by 172 to 140. amidst Unionist cries of ''Drop the Bill!"
The sparse attendance of Liberals was due to the strain of an all-night sitthg and the distractions in connection with the Budget campaign in the provinces. The Welsh members deliberately abstained from participating in all the de-l bates on the Bill, because the Wcis'n Disestablishment Bill had been shunted in its favor. As a result, the Labor Party alone saved the Government yesterday from defeat. Messrs. Belloc, O'Grady, Thome, and Clyires (Labor) voted with the minority. There was a uniform complaint throughout yesterday's debute thai tno first clause would bring the land purchase to an absolute deadlock. Mr. Birrell, relying on an adviser, argued the provisions were just and fair.
