idea OF u national party as impraeticable.
Referring TO the position of the house OF
lords. he said Lord Salisbury had thrown
down the gage OF battle and the Liberals
would not shrink from the fight. The
audience here rose in a body. cheering
franticaily aud waving hats and handker-
chiefs. Sir William went on:
we have 20 face probably the rashest
and most reckless leader that ever headed
the Tory party. So extreme have
own followers have shrunk from his
violence. The work in the house
OF lords during the last fortnight had
n,Arveioasiy opened the eyes of the pub
dc. Give them rope enough. Let US
have few more such fortnights; let il be
burnt into the minds OF the country that
the lords have become the champions of
all abuses and the enemies of all reforms.
When the cup is fullest and the time is
ripe the verdict OF the people will de-
terfnine once for ell whether what Lord
Russell calls the whisper of fashion is to
prevail over the wi.i OF the people,"
Loud and prolonged cheers were given
Sir William when he finished his speech.
The National Liberal Federation con-
tinued its meeting today. 1t Endorsed the
Newcastle programme and unanimously
adopted resolution to the effect that the
habitual disregard Of the national will by
the house of lords is an intolerabie abuse,
and assuring the ministry of enthusiastic
support for whatever measures were en-
ployed TO secure to the commons para
mount authority. In speeches on the
resolutions the lords were denounced a. q
fraudulent company ,us.ng a political POI
sition for its own pe:uniary interest. and
that what the people wanted was first q
quarrel with and then destruction Of their
great enemies.

Of age. of French parents. He has been
in Paris since the middle of January, COM
ing from London.
Henry remarked today that he alone
was responsible for tae explosion in the
cafe, and that Valiant was child to put
nails in a bomb to blow up the bourgeoisie.
There was better material than that. and
he was surprised that his bomb did not
have more effect. Henry is guarded hy
two detectives, who have instructions, ac-
cording to the French custom, to endeayor
to induce the prisoner to talk. 1t is re-
ported that the prefect has received ad-
vices from the police of London that the
explosion at the Hotel Terminus was only
part of scheme which Henry and his
companions had arranged before leaving
London. 1t was the intention TO commit
as many outrages as possible, and IL is
believed the prisoners associates will be
heard from before long. The prisoner,
according to the police. undoubtedly came
from London in company with three other
anarchists. and the London police assert
nelief that Henry and accompiices had
planned a terrible explosion in the Paris
opera house, which was TO include cutt-
ing off the gas supply.
