LONDON, July 30. Every day increases tlic number of peers supporting Lord Lansdowne. Already there are three hundred and five, and several have withdrawn from Lord Halsbury's list.

The creation of peers is considered unlikely, even if Lord Halsbury forces a division.

Lord Winchelsea declares that he and others are willing to vote for the Parliament Bill, which they dislike, in order to prevent the creation of "blackleg" peers.

Many Unionist Clubs encourage Lord Halsbury.
