terday by Lord Salisbury in the house of
lords in reply to il question regarding the
Cretan situation, in which he referred the
Earl of Kimberly to the speeches made i'm
the French chamber of deputies by Pre-
mier Melinc and Foreign Minister T. auo.
tauN AS setting forth the policy of the
powers in the matter frnnce'S policy,
Lord Kimberly said, is, therefore, accord
ing to Lord Salisbury, that of Great Bri

of the integrity of the Ottoman empire.

Sir William IIarcourt, chancellor of the
cXechcquer in the late Roseberry cabinet.
said OF Lord SalSbury's statement that
such disgraceful, abiecU answer had
never before been given by Il prime min
lister TO IL British parliament The nation,
he said, had never heen exposed to II
greater humiliation than it is now, when
ii is chained and coerced by the menace
of wars in which it has no concern to
abstain from doing what it is under the
highest obligations OF honor to do, and
compelled to do what its conscience con.
dennis. Sir William denounced the III.
tegrty Of the Ottoman empire as IL sham
every breach in which. he declared, WAS
Il benefit TO mankind, and paiu IL tribute
to Greece for the steps she had taken,
while the concert of the powers held aloof
for rescuing the Cretans from the heel of
the Turk. 1t was this brave champion
that the British nation was hidden In the
name OF Ottoman integrity to aid in
crushing with the fleet OF which the na
ton was so proud.
is it not time asked Sir William.
that the british people take IL stand and
demand to know what are anti-crusade:'
He defended the flair Offers made by
the Greek government in its reply TO the
ultimatum of the powers, To which, he
said, the only answer was Il declaration
that the blockade of Greece would ne en-
forced. None knew, Sir William declared
what day might bring forth, but he
prayed that the shame of IL great free M .
tion being made an unwilling parcner in
an odious policy might yet he avertcd.
The speech which was throughout re-
ceived with enthusiastic cheers is consid-
cred by far the most telling utteranccs on
the subject yet made.
