THE AMENDING BILL.

PRIME MINISTER' S PROBLEM.

By Cable. —-Press Association.—Copyright. «•- LONDON, July 13.

The "Daily Chronicle" contends that the Government should regard the House of Lords's rejection of the terms of the Amending Bill with equanimity, and place Home Rule on the Statute Book before sanctioning any attempts at further negotiation. The "Daily Citizen" (Labour) says the Prinie Minister's task to-day, which will tax his powers to the uttermost, is a full and frank review of the Parliamentary situation. It needs only a few more false steps, and there will be a collapse, with the loss of everything piloted through under the shelter of the Parliament Act. Unless the millionaire Liberals can be brought to heel, the Government is doomed. THE BOYNE ANNIVERSARY. STONES AND REVOLVERS.
