LORD LAXSDOWXE'S SUPPORTERS INCREASING.
United Pkm Association— By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, July 30. (Received August Ist. 12.55 a.m.) LONDON.. July 31. Lord Stanniore, writing to "Tho Times." suggests that the Lords still possess the power to discharge a nen* Peer from tho service of the House during the remainder of any Parliament. Ho instances the refusal of a vote to Lord Weiwleydale in 1556, when Lord Wensleydaie was created a life Peer. Kvcry day sees an increase in the number of supporting Lord L:nsdov.iM. Tho number now reaches 305, and already several have withdrawn their support from Lord Halsbury's proposals. The creation of Peers is con-
' side red un.ikely, even if Lord Halsbury forces a division. j Lord Wiiichelsea declares that he and others arc willing to vote for the Parliament Bill, which ho dislikes, in order to prevent tl;o creation of "blackleg" Peers
