RUMOURS OF DISSOLUTION.
SPEECH BY MR. BALFOUR. Press Association.—Electric Telegraph.—
London, May 26. In the House of Commons Mr. Pease's motion attacking the Opium Commission was negatived.
The Financial Bill has passed through committee without amendment. Rumours of an impending dissolution continue.
At the Tories National Union, Mr. Balfour said the Unionists were animated by a common hope, and determined to hasten the dissolution of Parliament, as the Government could not survive after three or four elections similar to those which had recently taken place.
