The cabinet now has 10 members the

The commons today agreed to vote an
appropriation on account for the main
tenance Of the civil service and navy.
Mr. Dalzil asked whether it was the in
tention of the government to provide a
sufficient supply of ammunition. Mr.
Balfour said some increase in estimates
would be asked
Sir Charles Dixie said there had been
a great deal of needless concealment in
regard to the supply of small arms and
sufficient supply of these. Foreign gov
ernments knew this perfectly well and
were taking advantage of it.
ID. Campbell Bannernan, late secre-
tary of state for war, denied that the sup
ply of small arms and ammunition was
deficient. He greatly grieved, he said,
at the recent adverse vote of the House,
upon the subject, based upon the opinion
of the country's principal military ad-
visor He claimed the action of the
House unconstitutional
Mr.. Balfour said it was dangerous
doctrine that the gentleman responsible
to the House was not minister of war, but
merely an official of the war Office. The
army estimates were appro we'd.
Dublin, July AIT mass meeting of
the Parnellite faction Of the Irish ma
tional party held here today, it was
agreed to contest all the likely seats in
"a of the 80 counties, and all boro ughs
except Londonderry and Belfast
London, July 2.-Lord Roseberry in a
speech at social gathering of the Eigh-
ty Club in this city tonight, said that
he did not intend to issue either mani
festO or programme. He was rather in
the position Of those heroic soldiers who
politely requested the enemy to fire first.
He reminded the new government of
Lord Beaconsdeld's assertion that Eng
land does not love coalitions. Henceforth.
he said, dissident Liberals would be
found shoulder to shoulder with the
Tories, marching to very dubious victory
under a banner without motto or device.
The bitterness of separation from these
people was long past. He rejoiced at the
bottom of his heart that they were now
sailing under their true colors. The
Liberals henceforth would meet them
face to face and would no longer be tor
mented by guerilla warfare on the f1anks.
There were now only two parties, the
Conservatives and Liberals.
Lord Roseberryl proceeded to discuss the
lessons to be learned from the defeat of
the late government. In 1892, the Liberals
landed in the House with multifarious
programmes and majority that was
inadequate to carry that programme
through. He counselled the Liberals not
to repeat their mistakes. They must,
in the new Parliament, adapt their poll
cy to their majority. If they had only a
small majority it would be futile and
hopeless to attempt any such great con-
stitutional changes as those involved in
home rule, church disestablishmen ent,
local veto and Zone man vote'' measures.
