PEERESSES' BILL.
CLOSE DIVISION IN HOUSE OF LORDS.
ADVERSE MAJORITY OF TWO
By a Barro majority of two, in a division without party significance, the House of Lords declined on May 21 to give a second reading to the bill in- trained by Viscount Astor to permit resses in their own right to sit and vote in that Chamber: A good dent of interest was taken in the proceedings, the attendance of peers being in excess of anything seen previously in the nurse of the present session. No fewer than 158 participated in the division, and the Peeresses and Strangers' Galleries were both well filled.

Viscount Astor urged that the question of the rights of woinen had been 6ually decided in this country, and said the House of Lords was practically the only | body from which women were now ex- chaded. It seemed fidiculous to him tu] 10443/18th · Otaniasa Dainiro, 25, think that they might sit on the Fruit] Benches of the House of Commons and yet be delarred from the back benches of! the Second Chamber. He hesought the Honse not to alienate the feelings of i large body of women whose support might be useful to them when future re volutionary proposals might threaten.] their very existence.
•
"A very little bill that does big things". was the judgment of Lord Banbury, who moved its rejection. His loyalty revolled against an attempt on the part of a pri. vate member to alter patents granted by the King. He told with auch feeling the now famous anecdote of his adven- ture in another place with a lady onder who appealed to him not to sprak on a certain abject. What could a mere man do when a charming lady addressed him like that he ask pathetically. Appareatly even the stout heart of the erstwhile member for the Chy of London wavered under such an assault Hat I speedily recovered," declared Lord Banbury, annid laughter, and the lady thereupon declared, "Very well, I shall hold you down.”
THE ROYAL PREROGATIVE,
Thirty wopin's societies supported the bil, said the Duke at Atholl, whos Duchess sits on the Treasury bench as Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Education, So far from the measure all nitting a mh of wild wonen, he thought they might expect a great addition to the wisdom and experience of the Second Chamber, specially in matters relating to women and children. Viscount Cecil of Chelwood. As a supporter of the bill. thought that if their lordships wished to admit peeresses, means might be found to do so without infringing the Royal prerogative,

By far the strongest criticism of the bill came from the Eart of Birkenhead, who chuurseterised an attempt to dial Iwith such a mutter by a private mem- ber's bill as extreme impropriety. He noted that the bill was recommended to their lordships by, the husbands in the other House I should have thoughs that would have satisfied them." gaily Fremarked the noble earl, adding an ac knowledgment not only of the Parlia reatary efficiency of the ladies concerned, but of the striking nsertion of conjugal discipline of which they had given proof. He could not accept the suggestion of The Daily Telegraph' that there was, anything Mon. ignoble in arguing against the bill on

the ground that the larger question of Tues. the reform of the House of Lords had yet to be considered. It was inconceiv- Wod. able that this Government could be so mad or so negligent as not to undertake Thur. that reform before they left office, and it Mard to him nhaard that the Govern- ment were going to bring in a measure. of general reform they should contém- plat piecemeal proposals to admit a accidentally privileged class of "Indies. The Marquis of Salisbury, who regrete the degree of equality already granted to women, expressed his belief that if it had ever been contemplated that the grant of special remainders to daughters implied seat in the House of Lords, Prime Ministers would have been much more chary of conferring that honour"in the Dist.
THE GOLD STANDARD.
RETURN ENDORSED BY SOUTH AFRICA.
In the House of Assembly, Cape Town, on May 18th, Mr. Havenga, Minister for Finance, stated that at the end of April Great Britain decided to return to 4 medißed form of the gold standard? and the other Dominions, as well as Holland, immediately followed suit. The result was an appreciation of British currency practically to parity with gold and with the currency of the Union. In these circumstances, continued the Minister, there was no reason for delaying the resumption of specie the Union, and, after inquit by in ap propriate quarters, the, Government had decided immediately to rescind the pro clamation declaring gold certificates, in- convertible, instead of waiting until the proclamation, lapsed.
The Union's stock of gold was being sorted and reconditioned, and it would take some time for this gold to pass into general circulation, but the legal tender would be gold coin and Reserve Brok nctes.
In one important respect the policy of the Union differed from that of Great Britain, namely, that in, Great Britai gold, was available for export but not for internal circulation, whereas in South Africa it was available for, bath purposes,
Mr. Havenga added that South Africa was the first among the nations of thế British Commonwealth, and almost the first country in "the world, to" decide to revert to the gold standard. In taking the present step South Africa, as the leading gold-producing country of the world, once more took the leading posi tion in the gold question which she had previously held
