TRADE WITH COLONIES.
An Incident Which Is Regarded al
London as Significant.

New York. Oct. IA resolution
adopted by the National Union of Con-
sentative Associations in favor of pref
erential trade with the colonies, is a
significant political incident, cables the
London correspondent of the Tribune.
Sir Howard Vincent, who proposed it,
is an old-time protectionist and his OPP
position to free trade has taken vari-
Gus forms. His conversion to the Cana
dian policy of preferential trade is not
OF recent date. for he supported it as
long ago as 1887, when the Oxford con-
ference was held. A representative
body of delegates from Conservative
association have now accepted reso-
luton presented by him embodying the
principle that new sources of revenue
can be found by taxing articles COM
peting with the home trade and urging
the government to carry out policy
of preferential trade between all parts
of the empire. The ministers do not
lack employment in defending the edu
alton bill and are not likely to act
prematurely upon Sir Vincent's reso-
luton.

EAGER FOR EDUCATION.
Bishop Mccabis Found Encourao;no
Signs in South America.

New York. Oct. 16.-Bishop McCabe
OF the Methodist church. has Just re-
turned TO this country after being alb
sent II months during which he visited
the missions of his church in South
America. Germany, Switzerland and
Denmark. His trip to Europe was
largely TO enable Bishop Vincent, who
has charge of the missions on that con-
tinent. to return to the United States
on business connected with the church.
While in South America. Bishop Nc
Cabe says he made some Interesting
discoveries. At Conception, Chile. a
city of $1,000 Inhabitants. he found two
large boarding and day schools, one for
boys and the other for girls, with sew
erai hundred students and a large corps
of. teachers. The schools are so pros
porous that all expenses are paid from
buttons and there is a profit to be used
for the support of native teachers.
In Ecuador the government has
called upon the Methodists to furnish
teachers for a whole system of new ma
tional normal schools to revolutionize
and generalize education. Teachers for
this purpose have been transferred
from Chile and others from the United
States. to fill vacancies in the latter
country. The government has paid al
the transportation expenses of all the
teachers.
The bishop found that the desire fol
education in the South American coun.
tries, which is steadily increasing. give.
the missionaries unprecedented OppOr.
tunities for reaching and informing the
masses.
