BRITISH WEST INDIES CABLE.
Imperial Confcrcnce-Educnt Dill
Introduced I'm Parliament.

LONDON. February LIN the House
of Commons to-day Joseph Chamber
lain. Secretary Of State for the Colonies.
stated that the negotiations for the con-
struction of a British West Indies cable
were i'm progress and that a French
cable laid by Franco-American com
pany would compete with the British
cable.
Mr.. Chamberlain also said that the
question Of an imperial conference to
take place when the Colonial premiers
come to London TO be present at the
Queens Jubilee, next June. was under
consideration.
Right Hon. Arthur ]. Balfour intro
duced the education bill, mentioned in
the Queens speech at the opening OF
the session. as "a measure for the promo
ton Of primary education, by securing
the maintenance of voluntary schools"
The bill, he said, was limited to a Sim
pie measure relating to voluntary
schools. The scheme formulated in 1896.
he said. had collapsed, because 1t was too
comprehensive. Reform in education
must be dealt with piecemeal, and IL was
now proposed that the State devote to
voluntary schools shillings per child
which. in the aggregate, amounted TO
f6l65OO annually.
Arthur II. Ackland 0.iberaD moved re-
lection of the bill. chiefly, he said, on
the ground that the measure did not
promise any aid to necessitous board
schools.
