CHRONICLE OF THE WEEK.
¡IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT
— MISCELLANEOUS.
THE Houses resumed on
Monday after the Easter Holidays, and in connection with the first question of importance put by Mr. Bryce, Mr. J. Lowther stated that complete harmony had been struck between England and the United States as to the modus vivendi, in the interval before a settlement by arbitration, in regard to the matters in dispute relating to the Behring Sea Fisheries. The Government was taking steps to consult Canada as to the person whom they would wish to represent them amongst the arbitrators. The name of the gentleman to arbitrate on behalf of England had not yet been definitely fixed. The House in Committee on the Bill to amend the Indian Councils Act of 1861, considered a Clause containing provisions for increasing the non-official members of the Indian Councils created by the Act of 1861 for making laws and regulations. Mr. Schwann had placed upon the paper fiften amendments, with a view to embody the elective principle and increase the number of non-official members proposed by the Bill. Mr. Schwann’s first Amendment proposed an insertion of words to declare that some additional members should be ■ elected ; the subject was debated at great length. Mr. Curzon said that the elaborate and complicated system of election proposed by Mr. Schwann was one which the Government was unable to accept, and that it was altogether ■ outside the legitimate province of the House, and quite beyond the scope of the Bill. Mr. Bryce declared his belief that the reforms proposed by the Bill would enable the Government of India to ascertain the opinions of the different peoples of that country on the various questions that came before the various Legislative Councils. He did not support the scheme of election proposed by Mr. Schwann, as being inadequate, and he advised its withdrawal. Mr. Curzon was pressed to introduce in some Clause of the Bill a recognition of the elective principle, as the Sub-Section referred to did not, in fact, contain any such recognition. He gave no promise, and, •after further discussion, Mr. Schwann asked for leave

to withdraw his Amendment, but the Ministerialists objecting, it was negatived without a division. Mr. Schwann’s next proceeding was to move that the minimum number of non-official members in the GovernorGeneral’s Council should be forty instead of ten. The speakers on the Opposition side were desirous to strike out the minimum of ten from the Bill, but they were not agreed upon the number of forty. Mr. Curzon argued that the Government must remain in a majority in India, and that the consequent carrying of the Amendment would necessitate the increase of the official members of the Councils. The supporters of the Amendment pressed it to a division, and it was defeated by 93 to 48. Mr. J. M. Maclean moved an Amendment requiringthe consent ofboth Houses of Parliament to the regulations under which the nonofficial members should be appointed, but the Amendment was rejected by 91 to 23, and the First Clause was ultimately agreed to. On the Second Clause, which regulated the business procedure of the Councils, Mr. Schwann moved an Amendment empowering non-official members to move resolutions and divide the Councils in financial matters. Mr. Curzon opposed it on the ground that it was inconsistent with the constitution of the Councils, and it was ultimately negatived. Progress was reported while the Second Clause was still under discussion.
In the House of Commons on Tuesday, Mr.
— T u e s d a y ’s Labouchere, who, as The Globe remarks,
s i t t i n g . seems to have taken the dissolution under his personal protection, was curious to know whether in the event of that Parliamentary consummation coming to pass in the early winter months, the Government would bring in a Bill for the purpose of expediting the register. Mr. Balfour’s answer was, “ The contingency to which the hon. member refers is remote and uncertain, and the Government have not thought that it would be necessary to take any steps in the event of that contingency arising.” Mr. Labouchere returned with another question, which the Leader of the House met with a conditional reply. The first business on the paper was a motion by Sir Edward Birkbeck in favour of establishing a better system of telegraphic and telephonic communication between lighthouses, lifeboat stations, light vessels, and coastguard stations, for the purpose of rescuing vessels in distress and making better provision for saving life at sea. The resolution was accepted by Sir James Fergusson on behalf of the Government and, after friendly debate, agreed to. When the orders of the day were reached, Mr. John Ellis moved the second reading of a Bill to enable sites to be purchased
