WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE.
BETTER PROSPECTS. By Cable —Press Association—Copyright. Received 21, ID.IO p.m. London, November 21. Sir E. Grey, in a letter to Lord Lytton, states there is prospect of a real and substantial extension of the suffrage to women. It was unreasonable to expect the adoption of measures given women an absolute majority on the Parliamentary register, but he was in favor of the extension on the basis of a Conciliation Bill, also to married women. The Government's Bill is so drawn as to facilitate such an amendment, which, if it secures the suffragists' acceptance. win be more quickly feasible than a separate measure. A member on the front Ministerial bench might move an amendment if the supporters of the movement considered it desirable, but this was useless without union amongst the supporters of the women's suffrage in the House of Commons.
