Disestablishment of the Church in Wales.
A SWEEPING KEFORM,
[PEB I'BESS ASSOCIATION J London*, April 27 In the Hou.se of Commons, Mr Asquith moved to produce a Bill for the disestablishment of the Church of Wales and Monmouthshire, to come into operation in January 1896. The measure, which is of a highly complicated character, follows broadly on the lines of the disestablishment of tho Irish Church. Commissioners are empowered to award the Church funds to the Parish and County Councils and hospitals, and to institutes for technical and higher higher education. Cathedrals are treated as national property, and every incumbent will retain his life interest in the office, parsonage, and glebe, receiving from the Commission the net proceeds of the tithes. The Times characterises the Bill as a gigantic bribe to the ratepayers to spoilate the Church. The Standard says the Government has no intention of passing the Bill in tho present Parliament.
