! LONDON. May 13-The Right Hon. Jo-
| seph Chamberlain, Secretary OF State for
the Colonies. made an important speech
| ON public affairs at Birmingham this eve
ming.
Mr.. Chamberlain, after deprecating the
constant assertions in certain quarters
that Lord Salisbury was "discredited''
and the government weak and vacili-
atng." said:
III foreign countries believe and act
upon those statements. they viii find
themselves much mistaken, and that cour-
teous diplomacy ana graceful concessions
are not incompatible with "A firm main
tenance Of the countrys honor and in
terests"
Then, declaring that he intended TO
make plain statement of facts, uniet-
tered by The mysteries and reticences of
the diplomacy of half a century ago,
which without revealing secret negotia-
tons. should be 'understanded OF the
neoplp'" Mr.. Chamberlain said he would
accent the judgment Of the people as
willingly as that Of the wisest diplomatist
i'm the world
Referring 10 the policy or strict isola-
tion that England has pursued since the
Crimean war. he remarked that this has
been perfectly justifable." but he
added. "the time has arrived when Great
Rritain may be confronted by a cOmbi-
nation of Powers, and our first duty.

1T Is one Of the most satisfactory re-

ciaI)-AIajor-GeneraI Fibhugh Lee Will
leave on the 1867 \. NJ train tomorrow
for Fredericksburg where he goes TO
visit his mother. He will take an eve

Sunday. and probably Monday. with his
family.
General Lee spent some time with the
President to-day. and afterwards called
by appointment on Secretary Alger. He
is still in the dark as to his assignment,
for the simple reason that the depart
ment is still at sea as to what will be
needed of the army.
The General made some headway on
his staff to-day. but this matter is not far
enough advanced to be made public.
When asked tonight if his son. F'itzhugh
Lee, Jr., would be one of his aides, he
said he did not know. If it can be ar
ranged, he said, he would like 10 have
him as one OF his three aides-de-camp.
The General said that one Of the pleas
uras he was looking forward to Sunday
was hearing DIR. Hoge preach.
