Sneaker called for order
The debate on the address proceeded monot-

ponted the Opposition. who had expected a heavy
attack OIL the Government policy in East and North
Africa The tone of nncompromising hostility
was lacking The speech was in the nature of

As the Khcdive and his people unatcrably

great Liberal party if they went out of Office
without having fulfilled their pledges to leave

its mineing of trade and philanthropy, smacked
of hunibus. such lioratio Hottorn!ey, OF the

real power Of the company lay in the spirit OF
Jingosm behind it lie would warn the House
that if this sort of thing continued. the British
Empire would 60 to pieces like an ovcrllled bal
loon. Ironical laughter from the Opposition
lrccted tIis statement, but raising his voice, Mr.
Labouchere proceeded without pause TO his final
statement that rs practical man. he was dis
inclined 10 divide the House on the amendment,
and therefore wds willing TO defer the decision
in the matter until the vote OF expenses Tor the
