A large crowd of people gathered in
the vicinity of the foreign Office to wit
ness the arrival of the celebrities who
were to attend the great meetings of the
liberals, which had been convened for
nbon.
Lord Roseberry, the new premier,
nbon his arrival. was loudly cheered,
ahd warm welcome was also extended
Cd the other distinguished Liberal lead
els. Lord Roseberry also received an
Ovation as he took the chair, in order to
pfeside at the meeting. Sir William
Vernon Harcourt, who was the last
n1elnber OF the cabinet to arrive, was
greeted with great enthusiasm. The
Prime minister, Lord Roseberry, in ad-
dressing the party, alluded with consid-
srhble feeling, to the retirement of Mr..
CHA 1stone. saying that they would
ssgreatly miss that sublime and pathetic
figure which enriched aud ennobled, not
merely the treasury bench, but the
house itself"
s stand Where They Did.
Continuing, Lord Roseberry said:
sit was thought that in the high Of.
fice to which, I have been called, there
should be declaration of policy. That
~ not necessary, as we stand where we
did. ICheers.l There will be no change
of measures, and although there has
been disastrous change Of, men, they
ar@ all pledged to the same policy.
FCheerss as r vi. 4 .,.s n
THE same measures remain as they
are the programme Of the Liberal
party, and it is not intended to recede
from any one OF them. r:s.,
The honor. Of England and the peace
OF Europe are safe in the hands of the
present government.
The Welsh church question will be
pressed to q definite and successful con-
clusion. Cheers
The Irish 0uession.
..In regard to the Irish question, we
are bound to it by ties of honor and
affection. My speech in the house OF
lords in 1898 seems TO have raised some
doubt as to my own position in regard
to home rule. Those who, have these
doubts can only have read the speech. in
q cursory manner. The policy of home
rule will not be less definitely pursued.
If there Is any doubt ON the subject, one
pledge which the government has given
in this connection Is the continuance in
his present Office of the Rt. Hon. John
Morley, chief secretary for Ireland.
[Cheers.l Mr.. Morley has been offered
q higher offieG, but he thought it his
duty not to sever his career from the
cause Of Ireland. Cheers.
The Hoase OF Lords.
'.Our illustrious leader, in his last
speech delivered in the house of COM
mons. made q declaration with which
the present government have entirely
identified themselves. ICheers. The
conclusion has long been forcing itself
upon me, that with the Democratic
suffrage which we now enjoy, q second
chamber, constituted like the house OF
lorisy is aa anomaly. The conviction
has bsen strengthened by the unhappy
chapter Of accidents which has turned
~ n
hereditary law giyers. more on less
equally divided, into one great Tory orr
ganixation entirely at the beck and call
Of q single party leader. fCheers.l
When the Tories were in Office, the
power of veto was not exercised, but
when the Liberals are i'm power. the veto
IS exercised at the dictates OF the Tory
leader. That il danger to the con-
stitution to which the Liberal govern
ment d not blind, and they will not lose
sight OF any measure which Ia constitu-
honally presented TO the country to
abolish this great anomaly. [Cheers.l
