BRITISH INSURANCE BILL.

LONDON, De Jet.

In the House of Commous yesterday the report stage on Part I. of the Insurancs Bill was concluded.

Mr Lloyd George said his guillotining It is reported that Yuan Shih-hai's delegates was very moderate and was applied with re- said that Japan has promised to assist the Men-luctance. It was a copy of that used by the chus and was ready to despatch-140,000 troops from Manchuria.

Their opponents ridiculed this statement and referred to the personal friendship of the revo-

The Unionists walked out of the House in a body, and the amendments were passed in silence.
