LATEST CABLEGRAMS.

TUB IMPERIAL COKF£K£NC£

(keuteu's message. )

Loxdox, April IC. . At to-day's sitting of the Conference the following subjects were under diacussiou : — The enforaement of judgments, bankruptcy laws, and winding up of public com panies. The delegates generally favour a reciprocity in the enforcement of judgments and uniformity of the Bankruptcy law in England, and the colonies. The representatives of the Imperial Government agreed that it was desirable to amend the existing system hi connection with the winding up of companies and the conference settled jlmft proposals for deputation in this direc tion.

At Monday's sitting of the Conference, postal and cable services will be discussed, as well as the question of defences.

Sir S. Griffiths, Premier of Queensland, was warmly received at the various towns he hari visited in Wales. A public banquet in his honour was given by the Mayor of Cardiff last night.

MESSAGE.[

London, April sth.

Official intimation has been received by the delegates that Her Majesty has named May 4th as the date upon which she will re ceive them.

The delegates are undecided in their views upon the scheme of naval defence, and are awaiting details. Sir F. D. Bell propotes an extension of Admiral Tryon's scheme with reduced con tribution from the colonies ; but the ac ceptance of this proposal is improbable. j One of the difficulties which confronts the Conference in dealing with the question is the commissioning of extra vessels for colonial service in case of emer gency, which has been put forward as- reason why the fleet should be placed on a permanent war footing. The Lord of the Admirality desires that the colonies should contribute a limited total amount towards the construction and main tenance. The Victorian delegates oppose the principle of this proposal. Mr Augustus Harris, the well-known theatrical manager, has entertained the delegates at Drury Lane. The "Economist," commenting on the proposals before the Conference favours the suggestion that trustees should be em powered to invest in colonial stocks. The " Spectator" thinks that if the loans of the larger colonies were made irredeem able within thirty years they could borrow cheaply in Liverpool and Birmingham.

THE COERCION DEBATE.

WILD SCENES W THE HOUSE

AN IRISH MEMBER SUSPENDED.

(Eeuter.)

London, April 16.

In the House of Commons last night, the debate on the Irish Crimes Bill •vras resumed. In the course of a speech in support of the measure, Colonel Saunderson, the conservative member for North Armagh, denounced the Parnellites as " associates of murderers. Mr Thos. Healy thereupon called Saunderson a " liar." He was called upon by the speaker to withdraw the word, and on refusing to do so, was suspended from the sitting of the House by 118 to 52 votes. Mr Thomas Sexton then demanded that Mr Saunderson should retract his statement, and denounced him ft* a " cowardly liar." Ultimately, both Mr Sexton and Mr SaundersoQ retfft!?fcs4r and order WM restored, _
