EDUCATION CAUSES DEBATE.
Duke of Devonshre Makes Significant
 Utterance In House of Lords.

London, August 2.-The debate of the second reading of the educational bill was continued in the House of Lords to- day. Referring 10 the bill the Duke of Devonshire said:
 Tt is the duty of this house to show the country that 1t is opposed to the vio- lent and unnecessary disturbance of our educational system which has existed for the past thirty-six years. and of which We have no cause to be ashamed. Until we have done this. and until we know how our efforts in that direction are regarded by his majesty's government and the other house of Parliament, this house will not be called upon to take the final and momentous decision which at some later period will have to be taken and which may involve consequences far wider than any now involved fin connection with the present bill"
 These words from the Duke of Devon- shire are taken as foreshadowing grave conflict in both houses should the govern ment prove implacable and not bring in a measure that Is in line with the opinions of the peers.
