BRITISH GOVERNMENT YIELD&
withdraw One OF the Oh Objectionable Clauses
or the Education Bill.

Special Gable Despatch 10 THE sun
LONDON, May 2s,-The Government has
withdrawn the second clause OF the Edu-
cation bill, in which we're embodied some Of
the most important features to which the
opponents Of the bill objected The de-
cision to Withdraw the CLAUSE was doubt
less largely influenced by Saturdays mon
ster- demonstration against the, IneasuY
In Hyde Park. Hf',
II was known beforehand that tho olaane
would he withdrawn, and tho House OF
Commons was filed with those anxious tn
hear Prime Minister Balfour's explanation.
There was an animated informal discus =
sion OF the subject by the members Of the
Cabinet on the front bench before Mr..
Balfour spoke. even Colonial Secretary
Chamberlain, who. as already cabled to
The SUN, has hitherto held aloof In this
matter, joining in the discussion.
Judging from appearances. he and Mr.
Balfour were not in agreement on the point
under consideration.
The subsequent debate engendered con-
siderable heat, blu, it ended in the complete
deletion Of the clause. Then followed a
discussion Of Clause 3, which was nearly
a. thorny az the one that preceded it, After
long debate the House adjourned.
The Governments position appears to be
q difficult one, and one that may lead to
developments Of some consequence TO-
morrow.
