thought, year ago, in sense opposed
to British policy.
1T must be the object OF every British
statesman" the speaker continued. Ito
secure the same concert I'm favor of our
policy. Whether the powers act diplo-
inatically or otherwise. they are omnipo-
tent I'm the Eastern question. My hope
Is that recent events will tend TO produce
the desired agreement, because IL is i'm
possible that they should longer tolerate
the sultan's enormities. and politically,
financially and morally, the condition
OF the Turkish empire calls loudly for
reform. The writing is plain upon the
wall. and the powers cannot much
longer postpone action"

ence how Golden. Bright and Gladstone
had been publicly reviled for the advo-
oacy Of an unpopular peace policy. Lord
Rosebery declared: Although l am
aware that it is unpopular 10 advocate
diplomatic methods. 1 shall never cease
TO exert my voice and strength against
England engaging in such dangerous
war. OF which you can see the eloquent
commencement. but nobody living can
see the catastrophe or the end"
The speaker continued with a few
words of personal explanation. He
denied that II was newspaper attacks
which had actuated him la resigning the
leadership of the Liberals. If this were
so, he would have retired long ago. He
admitted that the position of a peer, az
the leader of that party. was so anomal-
Gus that IL would be impossible to con-
tinue in the position, unless when absent,
his case received the warmest and most
cordial support and cooperation Of the
whole party Then, as to having acted
without consulting the party, he would
say:
Ever since the general election my
resignation has been in the hands of my
colleagues, to put in force whenever they
thought fit, or the unity OF the party re
quired IL. Having been previously over
ridden, out of their kindness and devo-
ton, and a~ainst my own judgment, ]
