The Tariff Question in the House of Lords:

·

In a discussion on the Tariff question in ..the House of Lords, Lord Roseberry de- manded more information regarding the Government inquiry, the existence of which he doubted. The Duke of Devonshire in reply said that all the members of the Cabinet agreed with Mr. Chamberlain that the time was ripe for an investigation; that the Cabinet was at present conducting an in- quiry but whether the country would be ask- ed to give a mandate could only be decided when the examination was concluded. In conclusion he said that many, like himself, gravely doubted the expediency of taxing the food of the people.

The Porte denies the Bulgarian allegation concerning the concentration of troops and says that the renewed activity of the revolu- tionaries necessitates the continuous move- ment of troops in the frontier districts, Bul- garia, replying to the denial of the charges, says the Porte is attempting to deceive the public by false reports regarding the inten tions of Bulgaria. The latter has prohibited the export of horses and mules.

The Standard says that the symptoms of a very serious crisis in the foreign relations of Russia are steadily accumulating and Russian statesmen ought to see that Great Britain, the United States and Japan are be- coming tired of evasions and manoeuvres in reference to Manchuria, which are being so indecently prolonged. At the present time the Russians are confronted with the alter native of a perilous defiance or an undigni- fled surrender.
