LONDON, Feb. 13--A banquet was given at St.
Stephens club Wednesday night in connection
with the unwilling of the bust of the late Earl
Beaconsfeld. The Marquis of Salisbury, Sir
Stafford Northcote, Viscount Cranbrooke and
Edward Gibson were the principal speakers,
The Marquis of Salisbury said, in spite of the
Radical threats abolishing the House of Lords,
the country would always appreciate that
body, while it continued to give sincere
and impartial independent opinions, and
did not remain content simply to register the
DEGREES of the caucus ridden Commons. He paid
an eloquent tribute to the garrison of Sinkat,
declaring that after having eaten the
last bit of garbage, those men had been
massacred because they hadltrusted England too
much.
Sir Stafford Northcote said it appeared that
Great Britain was on the eve of second Egypt
tian war. He hoped the voice of the country
would support the outspoken verdict of the
House of Lords. The aim of the government
seemed TO be to shirk its responsibility to its
constituents, and to demand their verdict He
expected division in the Commons on North
cote's motion censuring the government for its
Egyptian policy will be taken on Monday. The
government anticipates majority of fifty.
