Club in honor Of Mr.. Chamberlain. Ear
Granville in proposing the toast of the
evening said he was glad to be able
to congratulate Mr.. Chamberlain on the
result OF his mission. His (Granville'sl
strongest political conviction had always
been the Importance OF maintaining good
relations between Great Britain and Amer
ica. Although he had been the subject OF
the strongest attacks for his share of re-
sponsibility OF the Alabama settlement,
he looked back upon. its result with
THE UTMOST SATISFACTION.
1t was certain that if England had broken
off the Alabama negotiations they would
not have been assembled there to-day to
congratulate Chamberlain on having
brought his task so nearly to a successful
issue. The whole Liberal party could on
this occasion unite in congratulating the
Conservatives on having adopted the Lib
eral policy OF Cancellation and friendship
toward America. Chamberlain, on rising
to reply, was loudly cheered. He thanked
the company for the warmth of their recep-
tiun of the toast in his honor, and said he
fally appreciated the unique character OF
the gathering. He was glad to see so many
of his old colleagues from whom he had
been temporarily dissociated. He gathered
from their presence that every Englishman
worthy OF the name
sYMPATHIzED WITH THE OBJECTS
of his recent mission. Remarking upon the
change of public opinion during the last
century, he said it was curious to look
back to the sincere opinions expressed by
statesmen and writer's at the time of the
civil war and to note their fears lest Amer
lea should become a great and aggressive
power, dangerous to the peace OF the world.
He spoke strongly in favor of confedera-
ton of the colonies and again expressed his
hope that the fisheries treaty would be
