The Ex-Premier Has Another Objection
He Says That in Case Ireland Is Ac-
corded Home Rule, India May Want -
Similar System-Here, Again, He Fore
sees All Sorts of Trouble and Misfor-
tune.
LONDON, July 10.-The Pail Mall
Gazette, which with its recent change of
ownership changed its politics, now sup
porting the Conservative party, is pub
fishing series of articles from the pen
of Lord Salisbury, A. j. Balfour, Prof.
Lecky and other well known opponents
of Irish home rule. Today it prints an
article written by Lord Salisbury, in
which the former prime minister makes
out case against home rule from an in
tercolonial point of view. Salisbury says
he sees two dangers, the first and most
sensible of which is the blow that will be
given to India by the granting of home
rule to Ireland. India, he declares, is
held by the justice of Englands rule,
though the last resort is always force,
The taste for surrender is contagious. It
depends upon the answer given to Ire
land what shall be given in response to
the similar demand which is sure to be
made by India.
The second point of danger is the event
of a war between Great Britain and
another power. An unfriendly executive
in Ireland could, in the event of war.
cause untold distress by allowing xn
enemy to procure coal and provisions in
Irish ports, and by allowing the coasts to
be used as rendezvous for privateers.
In support of this contention Lord Sails.
bury quotes at considerable length from
the work of Capt. Mahan of the u. S,
navy on the influence of the sea power of
the French during the revolution.
Though England was mistress of the
seas," privateers had captured an i'm
mense number of British merchantmen,
In conclusion, Lord Salisbury says he be-
lieves that traditional hatred will impel
the Irish to fully use against England
any advantage they may secure

A Report From London Concerning
Prince George.
New YORK, July 10.-The London cor
respondent of the New York Times tele-
! graphs an account of a marriage by the
Duke of York, who has just married the
Princess Teck, to a lady at Malta a few
years ago. The story is that he was
married by the Roman Catholic ritual to
a daughter of British naval officer of
high rank, and that there are two chill
drea by the marriage. 1t is quite possi-
Bile, if it were necessary, to give the
date of the marriage at Valetta, and
even the names of the people who wit
messed the ceremony.
OF course the contracting parties
knew that BY the royal marriage act this
was really no marriage at all; but the
theory is that George, who was then not
in direct line to the throne, counted on
his elder brothers marrying and having
heirs, when his irregular connection
would be accorded quasi-sanction such
as was given the Duke of Cambsidge
and other collateral English princes.
