LONDON, Oct. 8.--Lord Churchill ut
hartford last night spoke IA praise Of the
loyal support which the government had
received from Lord Harrington, Mr..
Chamberlain and all OF the Liberal I'm.
ionisis. He said that foreign affairs
would be subordinated TO the union and
TO the Unionist party. The government
recognized tbs sacrifices which unioniets
had made and the odlum wh Oh they had
incurred among thor former friends,
therefore II WAS the duty OF the govern
ment 10 prove to the people q England
that the Unionists were right In the course
they took. Government would give the
greatest attention TO legislation Affecting
England and Scotland, which lately had
been neglected for Ireland. IL would in
troduce measures to enable farm laborers
to obtain freehold allotments, would also
deal with the question Of tithes ard rail
way rates. Measures for cheapenlng the
cost OF transfer OF land, and genuine,
popular form 81 local government would
also be presented. With regard 10 the
land question IN Ireland, they would have
10 change from double TO single owner
ship In order TO have peace. In all Of
these questions the prospects we're fair,
although the work would be heavy. lie
did not believe that there would be harsh
evictlons In England.
