BRITISH POLITICS.

. 4> THE HOUSE OF LORDS AND THE COMMONS. [Electric Telegraph. — Copyright.] [Press Association.] LONDON, June 8. Speaking at the conference of the National Liberal Federation at Plymouth, Mr T. Shaw, Lord Advocate for Scotland, referring to the House of Lords, said that the die was cast. It would be the people's struggle for the mastery of the' House of Commons. Sir Henry Campbell-Banner-man's scheme would leave no beating about the bush. In the evening, at a meeting in the Drill Hall, Sir Henry CampbellBannerman, addressing a gathering of 6,000, declared that the harmony of the Liberal party, both inside and outside the House, was perfect, and was never so great as at present. It had gained, rather than lost, in intensity. The House of Lords had been responsible for an enormous waste of time. The successive blows aimed by the House of LSrds at the authority of the House of Commons, though directed against particular measures, were part of a general scheme for discrediting any Liberal Government's very existence. Liberalism as a liower in the State depends on the struggle whereon the Government were embarking.
