Parochial Schools Bill Falls to Lords in Scottish Debate
The Lords defeated the Scotch Education Bill recast by the Lord Advocate, denying its aims and delaying any future chances for the measure. The government vows Commons approval first next time and pushes Bishops' Resignation Bill amid protests. Harvests begin but weather unsettled with forecast mixed for Yorkshire yields. Salisbury reelects Alfred Seymour, while Antrim fields a Liberal land‑question candidate Sir Shafto Adair. Foreign news scarce as Cuba talks circulate and Beust critiques Prussia amid Sultan tensions with Egypt.
