LONDON, May 16
In "the House of Lords, Lord Lansdowne said that though there were great difficulties in the way he did not despair of arranging for the representation of other religious denominations besides Anglicans. Nothing was further from the thoughts of the Opposition than that the Government should accept his Bill in exchange for the Lords accepting the Veto Bill. Lord Morley twitted Lord Lansdowne with having ruled 400 members ineligible. The first essentials of any great scheme were stability and simplicity. Lord Lansdowne's Bill gave neither and satisfied no one. What the Government wanted to know was the relation of this Bill to the "Veto Bill. The first business of the Gvernment was to carry the latter. The Duke of Devonshire, and Lords Selborne and Willoughby and De Broke supported, and Lord Brassey opposed. Lord Lamington advocated the incorporation of colonial representation. The debate was adjourned.
