MR. CROPPER

asked the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies, Whether he has had any correspondence with the Government of the Cape Colony on the proposal that the Colonial Office shall resume the direct control of the administration of Basutoland; and, if so, whether he will inform the House if any conclusion on that subject has been arrived at?

SIR CHARLES W. DILKE

, in reply, said, the Correspondence on this subject would be found among the Papers, which had been presented to the House, and would probably be distributed this week.
