LoSDoy, June 1s.-In the debate in the
commons today on the factory bill, the
amendment of Buxton. Liberal, to prohibit
children under IL years of age from work
ing, was adopted by vote of o02 to 1876.
The government was thus defeated. The
majority included few Conservative MEM
bers. Buxton's amendment will affect
10000 to 200. 900 children in the kingdom
who are now employed in the manufacture
ing districts as balftimers II is a philan-
throphic reform and was opposed by the
bulk of the operatives, who benefit by the
labor oftheir offspring. The Liberals argued
that the abolishing of child labor would
provide more work for adults.
Morley challenged the government to
say whether they opposed Buxton's
amendment or not. whereupon Home Sec
retary Mathews intimated that the govern
ment would not accept the amendment
The object of the clause may still be de-
feated by an amendment, but it is ex-
pected that the government will accept the
situation.
Lord Harrington. Sir Henry James and
few other dissidents voted with the mi
nority. while Chamberlain and the bulk of
the dissidents voted with the majority.
The Neus, commenting upon the matter.
says that the blow is both damaging and
ingnominious, and not even the resigna-
ton OF Home Secretary Mathews will save
the government from discredit and dis
grace.
The Chronicle says: Truly Mathews is
costly luxury to the state. The defeat of
the government will seriously damage the
prospects of every Unionist candidate in
the next general election.
The Times says: We cannot pretend that
Buxton's amendment carried; neverthe-
less the unpleasant rebuff of the minis
ters was incurred by an attitude unneces-
sary, injudicious and not altogether
straightforward. The rejection of the
amendment after our action at the Berlin
conference would have exposed US to the
odium of the world as nation of Phari-
sees.
The Standard says: 1t is a pity Mat
thews refused TO allow the governm ent
supporters freedom to vote as they pleased.

Prussia. Extravar.nt Government.

BERLIN, June ls.-In the Prussian diet
Herr Miguel. imperial minister of finance,
presented statements of fiscal accounts for
the current financial year, and gave warn
ing that the government must exercise
caution, for, although these accounts
showed probable surplus of ls. 50O, 900
marks, the whole of this sum would soon
disappear in the increasing expenditures.
He added: 1--WE have left our fairess wear
behind US. Prussia's greatness lies in the
prosperity of her finances, and this can
only be obtained by economy" Improve
ments which had just been made and
others which were still in progress in con-
nection with the railroad system of the
country were, said the minister of finance,
the chief current outlay, and they show
an increased expenditure amounting 70
900 marks over the estimates. The

Guatemala, bitterly attacks what il terms
the "ruinous financial policy of the Guate-
malan government"

extending to Honduras, where the feeling

very great.

fever is causing many deaths at Vera
Cruz.
private telegram from the City of
Guatemala says that there has been a gen.
eral shaking up in the cabinet of Presi-
dent Barillas. The trouble in the old
cabinet was occasioned by the fact that
Barillas wanted TO take the responsibility
of running every department without
consulting his secretaries first. The new
cabinet is now as follows: Minister of
foreign relations and public works, De
Leon: treasurer, Aguilar; minister of war,
President Barillas; minister OF the interior
and Justice, Livett. President Barillas
has contracted a new loan of 5000, 600
