London, Oct. 3 In the House of Commons on the third reading of the Aliens Restriction Bill the Government's proposal to swend the clause relative to foreign pilots, modifying the Committee's decision to withold certificates from all aliens, was defeated by 185 Totes to 113

Considerable excitement ensued. but Mr. Bonar Law, sccording to precedent, immediately moved an adjournment “ of the House to the 27th, to enable the Government to con- sider the situation. This was warmly received on all sides. Sir Edward Carson said he hoped no extravagant ex- pectations would be based ca result of the division.

It is not expected in the Lobby that the defeat will have serious consequences as the point involved is small.

It is believed that Mr. Bonar Law desired to teach his fol lowers a lesson as regards the inconveniences of basty voting against the Government. Some point out that there is a possibility of Mr. Shortt, who is in charge of the bill, re- signing.

London, Oct 24

The issue in last evening's vote was whether alien masters should be allowed to pilot their own ships in British ports. The Government favoured permits to French masters in accordance with the convention with the French. The Cabinet is now confronted with the dilemma of asking the House to reverse the decision or denouncing the convention. opinion is expressed that the Bill may be dropped.

The

The Cabinet Council has considered the position raised by the Government's defeat on the Aliens' Bill amendment. It is understood the Government does not regard the defeat sufficiently important to justify an appeal to the country.

With the signing of the flag bill by Gorernor General Harri- son yesterday, the Filipino en- sign, the display of which has been prohibited for a number of years. may now be waved as an emblem of Filipino hopes and as- pirations. In repealing the act which prohibited the exhibition of the Filipino flag it is under- stood, and Governor Harrison has made it clear in a memorandum order designating Oct. 30 as Filipino flag day, that the American flag represents the political sovereignty in the Philippines, while the Filipino emblem represents only the ideals. of the Filipino people. "Accord- ingly," says the Governor's order. "the American flag must be considered and used as the sole official flag and must be respected as such and the Filipino flag. not being official, should be con- sidered as the highest tribute to and the most sublime enbodiment of the noble ideals of the past and of the present of the Filipino people." The Governor also pro- mulgated rules governing the dis- play of the American flag and orders that any use made of the A Tea Dance will be held on Filipino dag must be in conform-Thursday, the 30th October, from ance with them.
