COLONIAL OFFICHE REORGANISATION SCHEMB.
London, Aug. 23-In reply to a question put to him in the Lords by the Earl of Jersoy,, 1 ord Elgin gave information to the rea
reorgani sation of the Colonial Office on the lions agreed apon at the recent Premiers' Conference in London." Government proposed to divide the office into thras departments intend of four. he first of these is to be called the Dominion Department, to deal exclusively with the self-governing colonies. The second is to be
called:
THE COLONIAL DEPARTMENT',' and its function will be to deal with the affairs of the Crown: Colenior, while the third will be known as the General Department
Mr. Charles Prestwood Lucas, at present one of the Assistant". Under-Secretaries, will be head of the general Department,, and he will be the secretary to the Imperial Conference, ¿ VIEWS OF THE "TIMES."
London, Aug. 24-The Dominion Depart- ment includes protectorates and possessions geographically dependent upon the self-govern ing colonies. The General Depatiment deals with legal, financial, and other busloess, with a standing, committee taking a collective view of contracts, concessions, and patronage.
The Times descrites the rearrangement as the direct fruit of the Confaience, and as being of great significance. That the
TERM COLONIAL SHOULD BE CONFINED
TO THE CROWN COLONIES. and a secretariat to the Conference inside, the Colonial Office is an anomaly that can only
· be a transition to 'n fouther stage of develop ment. As the Conference placed the Imperial Stales, on an equality with the home Govern- ment the Secretariat must be ultimately) responsible exclusively to the heads of these States, under the chairmanship of the mother- land's Premier. The need of keeping" ló the closest touch with colonial feeling suggests that the Government ought to be ready to go outside the Colonial Office in (appolnileg : officials to the Secretariat.

BILL
WHAT ITS EFFECT WILL DE.
One thousand marriages a year as the very, 'least that are now illegal will, it is extimated, be legalised by the passing of the Deceased Wife's Sister Bill. Many of these are marriages in high quarters, for a considerable number of "manz'istinguished-in-the-arts, in-literature, and- commerce have married their deceased wife's sistor.

Mr. Paynter Allen, who, as secretary, to the Marriage Law Reform Association, of which 1. Mr. Holman Hunt, the veteran artist, is chairg inan, has devoted the best part of a lifetime to the cause that is only now, after the labours of”' more than half a century, about to be crowned with success, informed our représentatiye ibis, morning how the estimate is arrived at. "In 847. lie said, "the Royal Commission that investigated the question discovered there had teen five hundred such marriages annually since :835, when the law became what it is
now. Since then the number has become .. matter of deduction. If you have five hupe There signals are sepeated at the Harboured marriages annually for a period of Office, H.M:S. Tamar, Green Island Signal it is now, and if you have regard at the same eleven years, when the population was half what

ALL PAST MARRIAGES LEGALISED.. A clause in the till will make the measure retrospective in 'character, legalising all mirri. ages with the decens d's wife's sister that have already been contracted. "The agitation," said Mr. Allen, "could never cease unless ii was recognised in this way that our abjects from first to lase have been to benefit the children; you would simply be punishing the children otherwise, and the alleged guilty. would go scot free,"
It is," Mr. Allen added, "a treniendouk, testimony to the advantages of the bill that such countries as the United States, "Switzer, land, and Germany, that have approved of similar measures, have never had the slightest. doubl or uncertainty of their value, and have made no attempt whatever to go back upon what they have done. Fuch marriages, indeed, become in cases where there are children who: are cared for by the ́deceased wife's sister," " practically compulso y with honourable men,, Many sacrifice everything in their devotion to their dead sister's' children. These women- could not remain in the home if their brother- in-law married some oilier lady, and it would, be extremely cruel to ruin them out of doors, One would like to: impress, the fact that kam first to last the cause has been, not merely the question of marriage, but the interests of the children and the grown-up children, as well as the liule ones,” .....
The question has been asked whether, now, that marriage with the deceased wife's sister. In. to be legalised, there will be nay reform with regard in that with the brother's widow, This is a case, however, that is held to be, for, many.. reasons, on an entirely different footing, and no: reform of the kind indicated is proposed P.
