The SECERTARY TO THE TREASURY (Mr. H. H. FOWLER) moved— That the Contract, dated the 19th day of January 1886, for the construction of a Submarine Telegraph Line from the Island of St. Vincent to the West Coast of Africa he approved.

MR. HENNIKER-HEATON

objected to the Motion being taken at that hour of the night.

MR. H. H. FOWLER

It was arranged that this should be taken to-night; but I have no wish to press it at this late hour if any objection is raised. I therefore propose to postpone it till tomorrow.

Debate adjourned till To-morrow.
