LONDON, TO-DAY. REPLYING TO A QUESTION IN THE HOUSE OF LORDS WHETHER

IT WAS PROPOSED SHORTLY TO INTRODUCE A BILL TO PROLONG

THE LIFE OF PARLIAMENT, EARL STANHOPE 'SAID THE GOVERN- MENT WAS WELL AWARE OF THE NECESSITY OF CONSIDERING THIS MATTER AT NO VERY DIS- TANT DATE BECAUSE THE LIFE OF THE PRESENT PARLIAMENT CAME TO AN END IN NOVEMBER. He, however, was not in a position. to-day to make any statement in the matter.
