The Position of the Lords the Supreme Question of the Hour.
London, January 21.—Lord Rosebery said in a speech in Cardiff this evening that Welsh disestablishment would be the first measure of the next Parliamentary session. He did not doubt that the established Church in Wales was doomed, but everybody must remember that the House of Lords presented a permanent barrier to the measure on which the Welsh had set their hearts. The position of the Lords was the supreme question of the hour. When the government resolution dealing with this question should be submitted it would involve the dissolution of Parliament. Before the dissolution, however, he wished Parliament to deal with the liquor traffic, representation of labor and the one-man-vote issue.
