mons this afternoon the debate on Lord Har-
tington's resolution was resumed. Lord Ell
cho, conservative, vehemently assailed the
opposition, aitributing the Tussian Turkish
wark to their conduct. w. h. Forster, Lib
eral, attributed the war to the government
isolating itself from the other powers. Like
other opposition speakers, he based his prin
cipe of attack on the Anglo Turkish conven
ton, which he declared was unconstitutional
in the manner of its conclusion. O'Donnel,
home-rule, supported the government, de-
claring that the opposition had not a ray OF
foreign policy. The debate was continued at
length by less known members, and at one
time as many as thirty opposition members
rose to their feet at the same time. Mr.. Ro-
buck said the conduct of the liberals through
out the crisis had been such that he did not
think either himself or Mr.. Gladstone would
live to see them in power again.

ment was adopted without division.
