THE DEBATE.

serVatlvc, Vehemently asSalleu Ine OpposlLloH
attrlbuting the Russo-Turkish war to their con-
duct Forester, liberal, attributed the war to
the government solating itself from the other
powers. Like other opposition speakers he
based his principle of attack the Anglo
Turkish convention, which he declared was UNI
constitutional in the manner of its conclusion.
O'Donnell home rule, supported the govern
ment declaring the opposition had not rag of
foreign policy. The debate was continued at
length by less known members. AT one time
as many thirty opposition members rose to
their feet simultaneously. Rolbuck said the
conduct of the liberals throughout the crisis
had been such that he did not think either
himself or Gladstone would live to see them in
power again.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt Liberal, de-
clared he thought the government was inse-
cure; that it had no belief whatever that any
danger was to be unprecedented from Russia in
Asia Minor, but that it wanted pretext
for acquiring Cyprus.
Dr. Isaac Butt, Liberal and Home Ruler,
announced he would support the government.
DR.. Wilfred Lawson, Radical, expressed sur
prise that Plunkett's vote of confidence was
not more strongly worded so as to obtain u
definite decision before the dissolution of par
lament imminent.
Il Sir Stafford Northcote declared that Ill re-
gard to the prerogatve of the crown, the
government had acted strictly in accordance
with precedent. He pointed out that it was
unfair for Lord Harrington to compare the
treaty of Berlin with that of 1856, as the key
stone of the treaty of 1856, namely, the indie
pendence and integrity of Turkey, had been de-
stroyed by the treaty of San Stefano The
government had succeeded in restoring much
of Turkeys independence and integrity,
though after the results of the war it was
impossible to insist upon their maintenance as
defined by the treaty of 1856 He entered into
details in refutation Of Gladstones statement
in regard to the attitude of the British plen-
potentiaries at the congress. The government
had used it's influence TO prevent Turkey from
attacking Greece when she could have done so
with overwhelming power. In regard to the
Anglo-Turkish convention, he said it
necessary to prevent Russia from
undermining British influence in the East, and
secrecy necessary for speedy negotiations.
The principal point in his speech was an en-
phatic denial of the existance OF any otEer Sc
cret engagement although he admitted it was
quite true there had been confidential commu-
nications. In conclusion he maintained it was
the duty and interest of England to maintain
Turkey in strong position as practicable.
TIE RESOLUTION REJECTED.
Lord Harrington briefly replied, closing the
debate. The house then divided on Lord Hart
ngton's resolution, and it rejected, 1876 af-
tirmative, 335 negative The announcement of
the vote was received with loud and prolonged
cheering. The amendment moved by Randle
Plunkett as a vote of confidence, was then re-
jected without division.
