Observation-Disclosures IN Wales.
Home Secretary AsquItl, Tells OF the
BfIl's Provisions.

London. Feb. 13.-In the House OF Com
mons to-day. Sidney Buxton under colo
nial secretary. said, in answer TO a ques-
ton on the subject that a bill TO enable
the Australian colonies TO make prefer
ential treaties Of commerce with Canada
and other British colonies had been in
troduced IN the GIouse Of Lords on Feb.
q.
Home Secretary Asquith moved the first
reading Of the diaestabllshment OF the
church in Wales bill Mr. Asquith said
the bill proposed that the church should
cease to be established in Wales and
Monmouth in January 1851; that proVis-
ION be made for the formation Of a rep
resentative body made up from the clergy
and laity to which power should be given
to legislate ecclesiastical matters, that
the churches be transferred TO this body
and the Glebes to the parish, district and
town councils, and that other property
vested in the church be placed in the
hands OF a commission OF clergymen
who should receive their present emolu-
pents during their lives. the income
from the remainder OF the property TO
be used in the erection and maintenance
of hospitals, dispensaries and GONZALES
cent homes; to provide nurses for the
sick poor, Tor laborers dwellings, ailOt-
ments and for technical higher
education. The opponents OF the
BILL he said. might accuse
them of attempting to secularize
religious funds, but the government held
that the purposes mentioned were truly
religious and that there would be no
PROCLAMATION Of a fund dedicated to pious
uses in applying 1t to the relief OF the
suffering. The bill was conceived in an
honest desire to satisfy genuine de-
mand of a vast majority of the Welsh
people with the least possible detriment
TO the interests of the church
Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, conservative
member for West Bristol an
swered Mr.. Asquith with great energy.
He characterized as sheer political cant
the home secretary's remarks as TO the
appropriation of church property for char
table uses. The government proposals,
he said. were without precedent IN Eng
lish history and would be resented by
millions of English men and women.
Even in the Irish disestablishment there
had been provisions for reorganization
by allowing persons with vested interests
to commute and compound them for the
benefit Of the new church body. Thus re-
founded, the church had been able to as
sumo something like its old position. The
present bill debarred a similar course IN
Wales.
