Glasgow, May 20-In an address delivered In
This city to-day Lord Salisbury referring TO the
treatment Of Hebrews in Russia and other coun-
tries Of Europe, said "The terrible persecu-
tons of the Jews show that we must not count
TOO confidently upon the progress of civlhzauoh;
Speaking of the political situation, Lord Sails
hurry said I'VE are justified in believing that
the Deace of Europe will be maintained though
the decisions Of great wars are not iinai' anu ap-
meals can be made from them. Sometimes these
appeals are efforts to reverse such decisions, As
eyerv wear passes, and as the terrible results OF
,va, become more evident, the danger OF an out

lord Salisbury continued: For many years
an .nxtous mart of the duties of the Foreign M
"a. has been our relations with Mahometan com
nunities lest their crumbling and decay mght
,auss q general disturbance. That danger Is now
sscreasinr. and in some parts has passed away.
The Sultan of Turkey has devoted his energies to
renairing the confusion into which his dominion
has fallen, and has succeeded in so averung
danger that the peace of Europe is no Longer men
eeed from that quarter. (Cheers) Still more
bopef,l is the revival in Persia. where there Is
such desire for greater liberty, and such an
increase of material PROCESS. as TO Justify lne nope
that that Nation will never cause conflict with
Christian Powers. The revival In Egypt also
is among the most wonderful events OF this gen.
eration.' (Cheers)
Referring TO the convention with Portugal, Loro
Salisbury said that it was easy matter to ar
range that compact. England had to refrain from
ANYTHING likely TO injure State which was linked
with old recollections of kindness, and which
must be regarded an essential portion OF the
European body On the other hand, England had
70 satisfy the people of Cape Colony, who
could not understand why Portugal was allowed
10 claim on paper the annexation of broad belt
of Africa If this belt had been held by the Anglo
Saxon race, added the Premier it would have been
3ed TO civilization two centuries ago. The peo-
ple of Cape Colony wanted Portugal TO DE thrust
inside altogether. England had TO observe the
prescripts of international law, and could not
ignore the claims of Portugal 20 certain por'ions
of Africa. The convention gives England high
lands on which white men can settle and work.
The lowlands along the Zambesi were offered to
Portugal, and can be worked only by people born
there and having the blood Of that country;
referring to East Africa, Lord Salisbury held
that the railway about TO be carried TO victoria
Nyanza would destroy the slave trade, through
the abolition of caravan traffic. He closed his
speech by praising Mr. Gladstone for the course
he adopted in recent years, of uniformly treat
