THE VETO BILL.

A MEANS TO AN END. Press Association.—Telegraph.-Copyright. LONDON; March 25. The Hon. Lewis Harcourt, speaking at Eossendale. said that by Monday week the Parliament Bill would be “full steam ahead," and would find its way to the Statute Book this summer. The Government was determined to carry it through, believing that they had a mandate to do so. The Bill was a means to an end—which was the passage of measures for democracy. UNIONISTS’ ADMISSIONS. LONDON, March 25. Mr Austen Chamberlain, speaking at Birmingham, declared that the Unionists were willing to admit that new elements must be introduced in the House of Lords; the balance of parties was too unequal. Men should sit in the House of Lords not merely by right of great services already rendered, but by right of election.
