Will eW. AP. Sp London, July 14 John A. Peace, Minister of Education, long chief Lib- eral whip and therefore an expert on registration, was put up by the Gov- eriment to introduce the promised Reform and Registration Bill, the ef- fect of which would, among other things, be to abolish plural voting and increase the number of voters in the -United-Kingdom by some-2,500,000. It is on this bill that the govern- ment has promised to give facilities for the introduc fan amendment to grant the sufi to women on the sam his amend- ment, however, will not be a goyern- ment one; and members are to be. lett to vote. as they like on ft, As the present House of Commons has ready declared itself against votes for women, the amendment hag little chance of passing. In fact, the bill itself has little chance of reaching the Statute book, with Home Rule and Welsh Disestablishment ahead of it and hardly time -enough to discuss those two great measures. The DIT has been introduced in keeping with three promises made by the Prime Minister. The first was to his own supporters to do away with plural voting, which t s generally admitted handfeaps Liberal candidates in the constituencies, most of the fandholders who have these plural votes casting them against the Lib- erals. This promise can be kept with- out the passage of the present bill, as will, Be Would do Away With Plur- al Voting Women Enfranchisement Will Also Peers Included, Hardly Pass, ecial Cable) ber and hag already passed its sec- ond reading.

These-changes meet with the ap- proval of all, but there are other clauses in the bill, besides the abol- ition of plural voting,; which the Con- servatives bitterly oppose. The abol- ition of University representation, which would reduce the voting power of their party in the House of .Com- mons by nine, is objected to on the ground that the University constituen- cies are the only on S where an vdu- Honse of Commons, with the 61 taken away by the Home Rule Bill, Would make, the membership exactly 600.

Cast -Week marks the time when the city will go ahead by leaps and bounds, for one hundred of the most influential business men in the World have paid a visit and have become not only interested but enthusiastic in the remarkable facilities and won- derful advantages offered by Medi- cine Hat city to manufacturers. Not only will the manufacturers -be inte:- ested, for the Englishmen who were here last Wednesday went away with the determination of telling th ir friends of the place, and what they say goes, for they are trained business men, quick to note any ad- vantage offered; their word will be taken and no doubt their example fol- lowed by numerous other Englis manufacturers. If possible, the Americans here on Saturday were even. more enthusiast- Ie. That they were genuinely sur- prised is. but expreesing it mildly. /They are men who are probably quicker to grasp-the wonderful pos- sibilities of the city than the English- men, for they have seen villages in the Western States whose advant- ages and facilities fade away when compar d to those of the Hat deve- lop ito largexcities in a few years, and as one of the party put it at the luncheon: If I were in the-cify for a week I'd be broke, for I'd invest every cent I could get my hands-on in real estate. , They were pleased with everything they saw and they ra fd to tell aboutiit.
