Lord Salisbury, spea king at Lord Mayor Han
son s banquet in the Guild hail. i'm London, last
night, said the conservatives occupied a posi-
tion on Irish affairs which IL was impossible to
misinterpref. Their business was to Iegislate
in favor of the integrity of the empire and to
enforce laws which had long been neglected and
trodden under foot He believed the conserva-
tlves could claim that public confidence was
somewhat restored and that the relations be-
tween landlord and tenant were better than
formerly.
"Foreign affairs" he continued, "were at
present of high importance, the affairs of Egypt
neing OF special interest. The stay of the Eng
lish in Egypt had beer upheld by politicians of
oil parties as one of limited duration. That
limit was not a time limit, but limit OF work,
which England was bound to accomplish by
pledges SO distinct and SO often repeated that
she could not retreat. The English could not
leave Egypt until that country was secure rom
foreign oppression, and until order had been re-
stored in domestic affairs. The government
was encouraged in this task by growing proofs

Referring to Bulgaria, Lord Salisbury said
the sympathies OF the English people were
aroused by the spectacle OF her struggle for in
dependence, and that the language of diplo-
matte menace used towards Bulgaria by n Eu-
ropean state had caused the deepest regret. \

by foreign gold, had hunted Prince Alexander
from the throne OF Bulgaria and outraged the
conscience and sentiment of Europe. The in-
justice OF this deed was aggravated by foreign
diplomacy saving the conspirators, an act of
interference which caused the reprobaIion
throughout Europe. bulgarian rights were
assured by the Berlin treaty. on which the
salvation OF Europe depended. English in

their duty to enforce the treaty, England
would not be found backward in cooperating
with them. (Cheer>.l If EngIand's individual
interests only were affected, England would
ask no counsel and would seek assistance,
but would defend her interests with her own
arm. But in this instance she would not accept
the responsibility of isolated action. The gov
ernment's policy was shaped in harmony with
that of Austria. He trusted that the peace
would not be disturbed, and that. under the in-
huence of public opinion, the infant liberties OF
Bulgaria would not be impaired.
Lord Salisbury in proposing toast in honor
OF the lord mayor, said he believed the munich

British institutions. He congratulated the lord

OF dropping the question OF English occupation

AMERICAN PRIESTS WANTED-At Emmitts-

Staniero, papal ablegate, visited Mount 81.
Mary's college. In "a short address TO the stu
dents OF the institution he said he was sur

was making in this free country. But more
priests of American birth and education were
needed every where, and hence he asked those
to whom he was speaking TO pray for a voca-

many OF Mount st. Mary's students would feel
themselves called to the altar; that they would
obey that Call and thus draw down upon them

heaven.
