In the commons this evening the debate on the
darlington resolution was resumed.
Lord Elchoh, conservative, violently attack ed
The opposition, attributing the Russo Turkish wal
to their conduct.
VIM +. Forster, liberal, followed. lie attrib-
uted the war to the governments isostng itself
from the other powers. Like all the other opp
sitlon speakers he based his principal attack on
the Anglo Russian convention, which he de clared
was unconstitutional.
Ol'onnell, home rule, supported the govern
ment, declaring the opposition had not regular
foreign policy.
The debate was continued at great length by a
number OF minor members, who repeated the
stock arguments strictly in accordance with their
known politics. At one time as many as thirty
opposition members rose to their feet almost ST.
simultaneously.
Mr.. Roebuck said the conduct of the lber Is
throug hout the crisis had been such that he did
not think either himself or Gladstone would live
to see them in power again.
Lord Hartngtons resolution was rejected in
the house to- night by vote of 1888 to 1876, and
MIR. Plunketts amendment was adopted without
division.
Sir VIM. Vernot Harcourt. liberal, declared he
thought the government was lpsincere ia that ii
had no belief whatever that any danger whatever
was TO be appiehended from Russia iu Asia "a nor,
but that 1t wanted pretext for acquiring Cy-
prus.
DIR. Isaac Butt, liberal and home rule, said he
should support the government.
SIR Wlltred Lawson, radical member, CARLYLE,
expressed surprise that Plunkett's vote of conf.
deuce was not more strongly worded, to obtain q
definite decision before the dissolution of parlia-
meDt, which was imminent.
Sir Stafford Northcote declared that 10 regard
to the prerogstIve of the crown, that the
government had acted strictly in accordance with
precedebt. He pointed out that ii wa, unfair for
Lord harrington to compare the treaty of Berlin
with that of 1856. The indepe ndeuce and integ-
rIty OF key had been destroyed by the treaty
of San Stefano. The goverBmen Mt 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
dehued by the treaty Of 1856.
He entered into detailed refutation of Glad
stones statements in regard to the attitude OF the
British plenipotentlsfies at the congress Govern
nient had used its influence to prevent Turkey
attacking Greece, when she could have done so
with overwhe lining force.
In regard TO the Anglo-Turkish convention, he
said 1t was necessary to prevent Russia under
mining the British influence in the east, and the
secrecy was necessary for speedy and safe negoti-
atoms.
