LONDON, May 6.-The House of Com
mons tonight adopted the export duty on
coal by vote of 333 to 227 Consequently
the tax of shilling a ton on export coal
was adopted by majority OF 106. These
figures, apparently, do not represent the
feelings of the members of the House, but
the government made the issue strictly a
party one and secured the record attend
ance for this Parliament, and, by vigorous
efforts, polled within a score of the nor
NAL majority. The galleries were packed
to overfiowing.
Perhaps the most interesting feature was
the speech of Hon. Frederick Lambton,
brother of the Earl Of Durham, who
standing amid the Conservative members
denounced the government as "a pack of
riotous hounds after eve lamb" by
which he referred to the coal industry He
declared that the chancellor of the ex-
chequer had represented the coliers as
liars and forgers and maintained that they
sat on the government benches" The
sleepy people who had come in to hear the
final stages of the debate blinked vigorous
ly as they heard the right of miners to
| strike proclaimed by an aristocrat, who de-
clared that the miners were "as good as
many a man who has won the Victoria
cross"
Another supporter of the government
Mr.. John Wilson, bitterly objected to the
tax. bringing up the question of American
competition and contending that the duty
would give the United States a chance to
cut cut British coal.
What the Miners Federation will do now
remains to be seen. Judging from the
speeches of the labor members during the
last stages of the debate the federation is
quite likely to declare a general strike, thus
precipitating a struggle between organized
labor and Parliament. Such a collision, as
was said frequently during the discussion,
might prove ruinous to the coal industry
and highly injurious to the country.

LONDON, May 7.-Mr. Balfour announced
yesterday that the government would pre-
sent its iong-delayed education bill in the
Commons to-day The announcement
caused something of a sensation, as it had
teen supposed that government business
was so much in arrears as TO make it I'M
possible to deal with education at the pres
ent session. 1t is asserted in reliable quar-
ters that the bill, which is somewhat sweep
ing in character, will abolish the small ru-
RAJ school boards and vest the control os
education in the county councils. With re-
gard to boroughs. the bill will give the bor-
cugh councils control in places where no
school board exists, and where school
boards do exist these will continue to con-
troll elementary education, while the bor-
Cugh councils will be charged with Sec
cndary and technical education.

This does not mean the abolition of GUS

of limiting foreign commerce TO the few
