London, Dee. 18th. -Coljiery owners

sails for coordination and extension Of the
existing marketing schemes, and addi

London, Dec. 14sh.-L0rd C~larendons
proposals for a reform of the H'lS- Of
La.ls were again Def )r- the Up)'r
C.4m5-rGyas;.fduy. lae Marquis OF
ka44og, Lib raj, said the proposals were
a very distinct advance On the pr)Do ais
of The Government, put before the use
last year by the late lord Chancellor
Cave. All were agreed there INST be a
reform of the House, with the oUi Ct of
giving all parties a fair representation
therein. Hitherto it had been impossi-
bile to devise any plan which would Oh.
tain the universal assent of their Lord
ships. A house reform agreeable to their
LOrdships would also have to gain the
assent Of the people of the country EX
animation of Lord C%-arendons proposals,
however, had convinced him it was quite
impossible to accept them in their pre-
sent form. They must result in a pre-
dominately conservative membership OF
the House. To proceed to tie election
of $50 BY proportional representation. or
circular vote Of the peers themselves
must invariably result in a very large
majority of Conservative peers ont of
that $50. Fha Marquis of Salisbury, re-
plying for the Government, said the diff
fculty on this question lay rather in the
House OF Commons. How could the Gov.
ern.nent be identified with any special
method of reform until its supporters in
the Commons were all to come to some
agreement. Referring tOathe particular
proposal of Lord Clarendon, he sad he
thought the second chamber ought, on
the whole, to be conservative. Il was a
means to check careless or haadstrOng
legislation, But the Government could
rot identify itself with Lord CIarendons
proposals. 1t must not accept a sketch
until prepared to fill in the whole picture
and in this Parliament it had not the
time.

Peace Looms In
Mexican Church
Row. Paper Says

NEW YORK. June 6.--The New
York World will say:
Peace between the church and
state in Mexico seems definitely ar
ranged, according to dispatches 10
the World and to private citizens
here from Rome and the City Of
Mexico. Formal confirmation that
an understanding has been reached
is expected from the Vatican, per-
haps today, oil certainly in the next
few days.
THE unofficial help of Ambassa-
dor Dwight w. Morrow in begin
ring and outlining negotiations, plus
the work Of Archbishop leopold
Ruiz of Michoacan. who is now in
Rome. are believed largely respon-
sible for the end of n controversy
which has racked Mexico for nearly
two years.
Under this settlement the people
OF Mexico will once again be able
to worship in their accustomed man
ner; churches will be reopened;
priests will return TO their cares;
the sacraments will be administered
without secrecy as Of the last two
years
Both sides. according to the
Worlds information. are making
some concessions which will enable
the church TO abandon the charge
that the state seeks 20 dominate re-
liRion and enable the Gales admin
istration to function without charg-
es of church interference in state
affairs"
