Parliament Hails Mixed Bills as Session Nears Close
As the session ends three weeks of work remain with several measures set to pass swiftly. Gladstone outlines ship lightening plans, several bills are dropped, others like Licensing and Public Health move forward. The Ballot Bill nears passage while Lords and Commons clash over education, religious instruction, and a Scotch Board proposal. The French Assembly faces clashes over finance and Thiers policy, with Gambetta and the President in fragile accord. The Geneva arbitration proceeds, and Britain awaits potential damages from Alabama and San Juan cases.
