RESISTANCE OF STALWARTS.

"SHOOT AND BE DAMNED!"

(Received La:,t Night, 5.5 o'cloV.;

LONDON, August 5

In response to Lord Morley's circular, seventy-sax Liberal Peers have pledged themselves to vote for the Government. Sixty-nine will follow Lord Halsbury. Eight Unionists are willing, if necessary, to vote for tho Government, to prevent the necessity of creating new Peers. Meetings of Stalwarts at Holborn and Chelsea passed resolutions supporting Lord Halsbury. The httotspeaking at Chelsea, said he did not believe that the people of England demanded the overthrow of the ancient Constitution. To do Mr Redmond justice, ho had made no secret of his object. He had boldly told the Government that unless ho got what he wanted, he would tarn them out. Lord Selborne denoimeed Mr Asquith for advising His Majesty to create New Peers and set up a despotism in order to pay Mr Redmond his price. History, ho said, could not show a more infamous conspiracy. Let tho Radicals crease their Peers, and thus bring homo to tho country lie revolutionary nature of ~the procedure. Lord Wyndham declared that when Mr Asquith tallied of creating five hundred new Peers, the Unionist party's answer should have been like Lord Clive's to a cheating bully. "Shoot, and be damned!" The Right Hon. H. Chaplain, M.P., has severely criticised the "Cham-berlain-Halsburyites."
