Bright Preparing to Dodge.

corded perfect ovation when he appeared upon
the stage of Her Majesty's Theater this after
noon to address the Conservative meeting
assembled there under the auspices of
the Primrose League. The auditors wore
Lord Beaconsfeld's favorite flower. In
his address, Lord Salisbury declared that Tory
ism was growing rapidly among all classes in the
empire. He said he felt it to be his duty, in
these critical times, to urge all loyal men to
combine for the support of religion and the en-
pire. He denied that he had recommended, as
the best means of governing the Irish people,
the adoption OF a twenty years coercion
policy; he had only advised the main
tenanco of law and order in Ireland. lie
reiterated his advice to the Irish to emigrate
from Ireland if they could not prosper and be
contelted under British rule, and urged
the Conservatives to support the Liberal
Unionist candidates in the coming eec-
tion where Conservatives could not GER
tainly be chosen. Referring to the OBJ
jects of the Primrose League Lord Salisbury
said they were in the highest sense Catholic, be-
ing to secure united opposition to the flood of
inidelity and socialism which at present was
menacing the world. Similar leagues. he added,
were being formed in the British colonies and
even on the continent of Europe.

tocracy of England The Duchess of Marlboro,
Lady Randolph Churchill, Lady Manners and
