BRITISH POLITICS.
REFORM OF THE COMMONS. London, August 15. On the ground that Parliament moans to break down the Constitution, tho newly-formed British Constitution Association is appealing for funds in aid of a campaign in favour of the referendum and reform of tho House of Commons in the direction of securing representation for minorities. WHEN THE HOUSE REASSEMBLES. London, August 15. The House of Commons will reassemble in October. PAYMENT OF MEMBERS. London, August 15. Tho Opposition moved to reduce the payment of members, firstly, by a lump sum, and secondly to £3OO a year. The legality of tho Government proceeding by resolution instead of by Bill has been questioned. Mr Lloyd-Geoige said tho Government had proceeded by resolution, preferring an annual discussion of the matter instead of making the principle rigid by an Act. The payment of members vote was passed, the amendments being negatived.
