The Suez Canal Question in Parliament: (see "The Silent Member"), 1883. 'In the Lords: Earl Granville makes a statement in the House of Lords; the Lord Chancellor; the Marquess of Salisbury attacks it; In the Commons: Sir S. Northcote "presses" for information; the Premier; the Chancellor of the Exchequer; Mr. Bourke, Sir H. Wolff; Mr. Ashmead-Bartlett; the Attorney General on the points of law...the Marquis of Salisbury was to be seen on the front Opposition bench, pausing a moment...to exchange smiling congratulations with his zealous recruit, Lord Wemyss, whose beaming face betrayed his exultation at the victories of the past week, it might have been surmised that the noble Marquis was firmly resolved not to spare one of the Ministerial measures, introduced at the eleventh hour...Yesterday week the Lords threw out the Anti-Pigeon-shooting Bill by 30 against 17 votes, albeit Earl Granville couched some most telling phrases against the opponents of this humane measure...Mr. Gladstone remains the one figure of commanding influence in the House of Commons...The Commons...rejected decisively the Marquis of Salisbury's proposition that no claim for compensation be allowed that would nullify a specific agreement between a landlord and tenant'. From "Illustrated London News", 1883.
