CHRONICLE OF THE WEEK.
BILL. o :
IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT—
THE BUDGET
N Monday the House of Commons resumed the discussion of the Budget Bill on the Report Stage. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, yielding to importunities from .the Opposition, had ■ drafted an addition to Clause 15, authorizing the Treasury to remit the death duty in respect of any pictures, prints, books, manuscripts, or antiquities of national or historical interest bequeathed for national purposes, or to any County •Council or Municipal Corporation. Mr. Thornton proposed to exempt from the payment of estate duty manuscripts published by the Historical Manuscripts Commission, and -which, since such publication, have been alienated neither by sale nor gift. On this the House divided, the amendment being negatived. Mr. Bartley moved a new scale of Estate Duty, which he in vain pressed upon the acceptance of the Chancellor of theExchequer. After several other amendments bad been proposed and withdrawn the Bill, shortly after midnight, was reported, and the third reading fixed for Tuesday. Tuesday evening was mainly devoted to a debate on the Third Reading of the Budget Bill. Sir J. Lubbock moved the rejection of the Bill, his motion being seconded by Mr. Gibson Bowles. Mr. Balfour, in a crowded House, reviewed the Bill in a speech of great vigour and animation. He :said that the Budget aimed a blow at the Income Tax, at the Death Duty, and at the Excise ; every settlement would have to be revised, and every will would have to he altered. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, in summing up the •debate, gave some illustrations of the operations of his Budget, and expressed his faith in the verdict of the House and the country. The division was taken in a House of 546 members, and the Third Reading was carried by 283 to 263, the majority being 20. The result was received with Opposition cheers and Ministerial counter-cheers. The division followed the same lines as the other important ■ divisions which have taken place on the Budget Bill. About 60 anti-Parnellites were in the majority; while eight Parnellites voted with the Opposition. There was no crossvoting, but one or two members were absent unpaired. There were a great many pairs.

On Tuesday Lord Salisbury moved the - TH™ DS Second Reading of the Aliens Bill, and Lord a l i e n s . Rosebery at once rose and addressed the
Plouse in opposition to the measure. He contended that no such proposal should be made except on the initiative and authority of the Executive Government. He held that there was nothing to be alarmed at in the present rate of immigration which, compared with that of some years ago, had considerably declined. Referring to the portion of it dealing with dangerous aliens, he held that no case had been made out for legislation in that direction. Pie maintained that the noble Marquis had placed too much reliance on the statements of the foreign press. As to the statement that President Carnot’s assassination had been plotted in England it was extremely doubtful, and no evidence had been adduced to prove it. He proceeded at great length to argue that a Democratic House of Commons would watch with great jealousy any attempt to surrender the right of asylum, and to point out the dislocation which the Bill would cause in our relation with foreign countries, and the continuous pressure it would exert upon the Government of this country to surrender refugees. Lord Salisbury admitted he was challenging the conduct which the Government had pursued. He questioned the accuracy of the figures which the Board of Trade had published. He was quite willing to adopt any more perfect machinery that the Government might suggest. Lord Salisbury mentioned that five months before President Carnot’s murder a circular had been discovered which had been printed in London, and which was couched in the most violent language, and headed, “ Death to Carnot.” It was idle, therefore, to say that these murders were never organized here. When their lordships divided 89 supported the Bill and 37 opposed it — the majority for the Bill being 52.
On Wednesday the Chancellor of the government Exchecluer stated, in the House of Commons, programme. tllat l^e next Session would be devoted to the question of the Welsh Church, the Registration Bill, and the Local Veto Bill. Within the next few weeks he asked the House to dispose of the Evicted Tenants (Ireland) Bill, which he said he regarded for many reasons as of pressing importance, and which was to be dealt withfirst; then the Equalization ofRates(London) Bill,which he said was of vital interest to the poorer districts of the metropolis, and the Local Government (Scotland) Bill. The Chancellor of the Exchequer then said : “ I now come to a Bill which is rot a Government measure. It is a Bill
