The protection issue is scarcely mentioned in the election contest in Ulster, whose dozen constituencies returning members to Westminster have produced only three contests, two of which are in Belfast, where a Labourite and Independent Unionist are opposing the former members. The contest is lively chiefly owing to domestic Orange differences.

Paris, December 4.

The Government has sustained a reverse in the Chamber after a debate on the Electoral Bill aiming at simplification of the elec toral law. A Radical amendment to maintain the present system was carried against the Government by 290 to 275. The latter was not made after a division, so the question of confidence did not arise. and the present position is unaffected. By the figures taken in conjunction with several recent parrow Government majorities, it is shown that the Government is more vulnerable in home than in "foreign politics.
