Lord Dun raven gave his support to the Kill, justiiymg it on the ground that the relations between landlord and tenant were more strained in Ireland than they were elsewhere, and that the Bill would ten away with that state of affairs.

When the first schedule' was reached.

Mu. Gladstone moved, in accordance with an arrangement previously arrived at, that when a workman was injured and the resulting of the first week, and this was agreed to after Mr. Cochrane had submitted an alternative amendment, which was negatived by 307 votes against 57, providing that where a workman was prevented from earning foil wages for a period exceeding 28 days compensation should be payable from the date or the accident. The Home plan of making compensation payable from the first if the incapacity continued for 14 days might, he argued, induce malingering. Mr.

Gladstone next invited the opinion of the House upon an amendment empowering workmen who were infirm through age or suffering under some physical incapacity to contract with employers for a smaller amount of compensation thau would be payable in ordinary cases. The object was to make it easier for old "men to obtain employment. Barnes and other Labour members objected strongly to this proposal, contending that it would tempt men to dissociate themselves from their fellows and to sell their for less than the standard wages. The the power had been very little used. The fact teachers.

No was the guardians did not wish to act. Sir W. i Baliocr Anson, who agroM that the propceed provision teache to give undenom door relief, was glad that the Government forbidden, save in rare remained uninfluenced by the arguments of their eseepfcons, to give denominational teaching, rather unruly and unstable ropporter. the member How does the latter involve a test which is Correspondent have shown that this picture is not exaggerated. Anarchy is imminent in Tangier and the neighbourhood, unless the police force authorized by the Act of Algeciras can be promptly organized.

It cannot be organized at all if things are allowed to go much further. In this state of things France and Spain, who have been empowered by Europe to organize the police, have decided to take such precautions as may enable them to fulfil their mandate. They have carefully explained in the note verbal the course which they mean to follow. The ships sent to Tangier will not land detachments except for Preston. Mr.

Burns corroborated Dr. not equally involved in the former The fact is Qpon the requisition of the French and Spanish rlj Tr I at this discrimination, cruelly unjust to the Ministers, who will only make such a requisition with the dntv of ferine the children laid schools, cannot bo defended on any intelligible matic colleagues, or in the event of an armed stress on the importance of securing the cordial principle. For that, reason wo cannot suppose attack on the town. There is no question of cooperation of school managers and teachers. Tne amendment, being pressed to a division, negatived by 290 votes against 36.

Progress was then reported, The House adjourned at five minutes past 11 o'clock. The Education Bijl has made another stage of its weary journey. It was read a third time and passed through the House of Lords yesterday, and. now that it is on its way back to the House of Commons, its fate cannot be long in suspense. itions under which it passed the Upper riking Meals) Bill I had which it may fairly be said that it has satisfied nobody.

Lord Crewe, in moving that it should pass, said that, if this were really the final stage of the Bill, he would have seriously to consider whether he ought, not to vote against it That, of course, was because of the dueed into it by the Lords. How far, on the other hand, even the amended Bill is from satisfying the full claims of denominationalism may be gathered from the fact that the Duke of Norfolk divided against It, and though only twenty eight supporters followed him into the lobby, they included not merely Roman Catholics, but that uncompromising champion of Anglicanism Lord Halifax. Only 105 votes were given for the Bill. The Bishop of London, though he did vote against it declared that he could not vote for it. believing, as ho and those associated with him believed, that it would lower the standard of Christian teach rag.

Finally, Lord Lanbdowne, whose able speech was the most salient feature of the debate, declared that, though he could vote with the Dtkx of Norfolk because his own amendments had for the most part been accepted, he regarded the Bill as and dangerous measure. If that is so, why, it may be asked, should it be worth the chance of saving Why did Lord Crewe say that he would disguise bis regret at the possibility that the Bill might not become law Why did Lord Lanrdownf. join in that regret, and dwell with earnestness and emphasis on the need for deration It is, if we are not mistaken, ecause moderate men on both sides of politic feel that they would give much to get thi question out of the way. There are such grave objections to the Bill even in its amended form that it is not likely to offer a permanent settlement, But it might furnish the transition to such a settle ment, and it admittedly contains some useful pro visions Which have nothing to do with the religious difficulty. However, the.

negative argument is probably that which weighs heaviest with nx minds. If no Bill passes, then from the admii trative point of view we are confronted witl itate of things which Lord Crewe confesses that be could not look on without dread. More ill. perhaps, is the prolongation of religions jntroversy, the bitter and unsettling disputes lat we must expect to see until we have reached me kind of a solution. It is such feelings as these no positive enthusiasm for the Bill, but a very real shrinking from the results of total which are inducing many people to hope the eleventh hour a compromise may still be possible.

But if there is to be any chance of an agree cnt there must be a clear understanding of the ily conditions on which it can be made. The argument was heard last night that the Lords have absolutely inverted the Bill. They have made, in Lord Crewe's words, its rules excep exceptions rules. To this argument Lord Lansdowne gave a telling and straightforward answer. If the Lords had wanted, he invert the structure of the Bill, thev would have followed a totally different course.

They eould easily have done so, and the Bill would rn a very different appearance from what to day. The Lords abstained from taking irse. They preferred to amend the Bill teriatim, and if the result has been to bring stronger relief the unsymmetrical nature of Bill, the Lords have refrained, at any rate. from putting a wholly different and symmetrical ts place. Only in one particular, it seems ave they gone palpably outside the scheme Bill, and that is in Lord Salisbcrt's amendment giving denominational facilities under certain exceptional conditions in council schools.

This is a point on which they might reasonably' way if insistence on it were found to stand in the way of an agreement. It is very far from being founded on prejudice," as Lord Crewe suggest. some of the amendments have been founded; on the contrary it is, we believe, entirely defensible in principle. But it does not logically belong to this Bill, and if, therefore, there is a desire to pass the Bill, it might be wise to disregard it. On another point Lord Lansdowne's amendment proposing that Cowper Temple teaching may be given to children of the undenominational minority in a school with special denominational facilities it might also be possible to find another formula which would be acceptable to the Government.

Lord Crewe suggested an alternative amendment night, but Lord Lansdowne very properly Education (Provision of declined to accept it. because, though it would come from a Select Cora make it impossible for the presence of one i.R BOJ Co minority child to block the grant of facilities. it would leave it open for the presence af ten to do so; while those other difficulties on which Lord Cawdor dwelt powerfully in our columns yesterday such as the need of finding vacant school places of exactly the right kind and at exactly the right distance would still be unremoved. Lord Lansdowne declared, however, that he was by ithout fear of the issue. There is, as Lobd Lansdowne repeated last night, no mandate for the Bill that infringed them.

There is no parallel between this Bill and the Trade Disputes Bill, the principle of which, as the Lord Chancellor was able to show, had tary on a Bill ofj been endorsed by a majority of over 100 in 1 against 133. The Labour members cheered loudly when the result of the division was declared.

The House of Lords are very far from standing in opposition to the people. It is because we believe them to be.

in a truer sense than the Government, the trustees of the people upon this question, that we hope the latter will recognize the advisability of seeking for a means of settlement. to act in agreement with all the Powers. Clearer proofs of the good faith of the French and Spanish Governments in the discharge of their mission could not be devised. Even the Cologne Gazette acknowledges this to be the case. It is left for M.

JaubES to hint doubts as fo the policy of his own Government. No wonder that the French Socialists are regarded with high favour in exalted quarters in Berlin. The Hons of Connnons yesterday finished tha consideration on Report of the Workmen's Compensation Bill, the third reading of which is fixed for Monday. It is rather a complicated measure as it now stands, without being in the opinion of many a complete or sufficiently thoroughgoing measure. One thing seems pretty clear that it will produce a very large amount of litigation but that seems to be the final result of a great deal of our legislation.

Some expect it to create a sort of industrial revolution, while others more gloomily anticipate profound industrial depression. In practice it will probably work out to something between the two. It offers workmen a much greater amount of pro The French Chamber yesterday accorded its approval to the policy of the Government in Morocco by an immense majority, and unanimously passed tho Bill which gives legislative sanction to the Algeciras Two speeches lent interest to the debate. M. JacrEs, the well known Socialist orator, made an exhibition of the views and sentiments of thst party or rather of the section of that party to which he belongs which seems likely to render German sympathy tection asrainst accident than has hitherto been more indispensable than ever to the existence of civen.

but en the other hand, sane of the self defence will not improbably tend in other directions to make the lot of certain classes harder than it is. New arrangements impossible to forecast will come into existence. Some will take the form of better organization and greater alertness in adopting his newspaper and M. Pichon, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, stated in detail the steps which 1 resort he and his colleagues had taken to place the good faith of French policy beyond the possibility of reasonable misconstruction. His statement, indeed, was so clear and so convincing that M.

Jacbes himself had to acknowledge that the declarations of the Minister had contribated to! science. There is great need for dissipate his fears. Nevertheless he insisted on asking the House to affirm by resolution their repudiation of any and every policy of adven and they refused to east this implied general waking up among large industrial classes in this country, and to a great extent it may very well happen that, while the workmen are better off, th employers will be better off also. There will slight upon tho Cabinet. M.

Jaubes, it must be probably be a considerable weeding out of the assumed, is a patriotic Frenchman, according to smaller and less enterprising employers, since the the standard of patriotism which commands changes will, generally speaking, press more credit in Socialist circles, but it is not easy hardly upon them than upon large and well to imagine anything better calculated to organized industrial concerns. In so far as the new hurt his own country than the sort of oratory burdens cannot be met by reorganization of in which he wantonly indulged yesterday. There industry, they will, of course, tend to tho are. we suppose, doctrinaires of the same advantage of the foreigner by increasing his arrogant self sufficiency in most countries, already great control of the markets at home and Similar sentiments are to be found in the abroad. That means further reduction of employ, utterances of the Little Englanders amongst our ment, view of the unrestricted entry of foreign goods produced by cheaper labour.

It may be the Vosges. I anticipated that the increased industrial efficiency absnrlied in the bv which alone our manufacturers will be enabled to hold their ground at all will compel a more careful selection of workmen than obtains at present. The standard of efficiency cannot be raised without insisting upon greater individual efficiency hence the workman who wants employment will have to lead a more strenuous life.
