BRITISH POLITICS.

FIRST BUSINESS. WHEN PARLIAMENT RE-ASSEMBLES. THE LORDS' VETO RESOLUTIONS. 8J Telegraph. — Press Association.— Copy right. (Received May 13, 9.30 a.m.) LONDON, 12th May. The Navy votes will be the first business taken when Parliament re-assembles in June. The Estimates will follow. General satisfaction is expressed regarding Mr. Asquith's decision to appoint a Select Committee in June to prepare proposals for settlement of the Civil List. The Times states that Ministerial circles recognise that it is neceseaTy to pass the Budget for the current year, and probably the introduction of the Lords' veto resolutions in the House of Lords will be delayed for a few weeks after the re-assembly of Parliament, if not for a longer season. PUBLIC SENTIMENT. "IN FAVOUR OF A TRUCE." REPORTED MOVEMENT TOWARDS COMPROMISE. (Received May 13, 10.7 a.m.) LONDON, 12th. May. The Pall Mall Gazette (Unionist), com--menting on the Government's decision to postpone t-he re-assembling of Parliament until the Bth June, instead of 26th May, says this is the first indication of the Government's recognition that public sentiment favours a truce between the opposing political parties. The paper ad"ds: "We have authority for stating that a movement towards a compromise has been made in the proper quarters by those whose moderation and detaciimen\. from the recent controversial debates qualify them to discuss a basis of settlement."
