CABLE SUMMARY.
In the House of Commons Mr Chamberlain moved that a further grant be made to the British West Indies upon the lines recommended by the Sugar Bounties Commission. He said there must be deficits in these islands until the sugar industry was restored to a normal state. He treated the grants as belonging to the necessary expenses of the Empire, which now gave such amounts in mere dole 3. The grant was carried. The reported illness of the Queen of Denmark is officially contradicted. The International Congress of Miners has resolved that the time has come to fix the minimum wage. Playing against Surrey, Gunn, the Notts professional, scored 236, not out, which is the record for the season.
