FEDERAL DEVOLUTION.

IMPERIAL AND DOMESTIC MATTERS.

NECESSITY FOR SEPARATION.

LONDON, July 7.

A crowded meeting of English, Scottish, and Welsh members of Parliament discussed Federal devolution. Mr. Walter Long, who presided referred to the failure of the present House of Commons to keep abreast of the growing volume of work. They believed the system of standing committee was detrimental to the prestige of the House. Mr. Walter Long also alluded to the problem presented by the present system under which people differed on domestic and social questions but agreed on larger imperial issues. He suggested that the legislation in both spheres would be facilitated if domestic questions were separated from imperial questions. All the speakers urged that the Government should be pressed to take up the matter on the score of its urgency. “

LONDON, Jaly 9th."-

In the House of Commons replying to Mr. Gershon Stewart, Mr. Cecil Harms- warth said that the restoration to China of the bronze astronomical instruments taken by the Germans after the Boxer re bellion was provided for be the Versailles Treaty. He had no information as to whather the restoration had been carried out. It was difficct to see how the British Government could me its influence to ensure the due carrying out of the provision es Chins had not signed the Treaty.
