IMPERIAL POLITICS.
London, June 5. The House of Commons, by a majority of 104 adopted the principle of graduated taxation, as proposed in the new income tax and succession duties. June 7. The Radical Conference urged that the House of Lords should be abolished, or that the Government should legislate for the remission of bills direct to the Crown after the Lords had rejected them. Sir C. Dilke moved that the franchise should rest on personal fitness alone, that the constituencies should pay expenses, and Parliament pay members. The resolution was carried. The Pall Mall Gazette says that the Chancellor's proposal to levy death duties on colonial estates without first obtaining the assent of the colonies is dangerous and revolutionary.
