Henry Seton-Karr Conservative, in ac-
cordance with notice given yesterday,
asked the first lord of the treasury
whether the attention of the government
had been directed to certain speeches by
and emanating from the members tor
Kilkenny and East Clare, Messrs. Pat
rick O. Brien and William Redmond. Par
nellites advocating the cause of the
Beers, attempting to seduce British SOL
diers, and melting them actively to assist
the enemies of the queen, and what ac-
ton, if any, the government proposed 10
take in the matter. Mr.. Redmond rose
quickly and said that before the lord OF
the treasury replied he desired to ask him
whether it was not fact that he (Mr:
Redmond) in suggesting a message or
sympathy to President Kruger, had only
followed the precedent established by her
majeSty'S grandson, the German emperor
Mr.. Balfour replied as follows: Il was
not aware that the honorable member
for East Glare framed himself upon such
an august model. (Laughter) l may
point out, among the differences between
himself and the emperor of Germany
that his imperial ma jesty is not a Brit
Usher nor a member of this house. have
reason to doubt the accuracy or the
statements contained in the question. So
far as my memory serves, support or
similar character has invariably been Of
fered by the same quarters to those en-
gagged in hostilities with her majesty
government quite irrespective OF race,
creed or the theater of hostilitieS. | have
no ground for thinking that such sup
port was ever regarded as important by
those to whom 1t was proffered and ad-
wise the house to take the same view
now" (Peals of laughter).
Mr.. Chamberlain who was loudly cheer
ed on rising began with severe criti-
cism of the action of the opposition a
the previous meeting of parliament. Their
statements, he said, were calculated to
encourage President Kruger's resistance,
and to embarrass the government in
most difficult and most critical func-
tons" Referring 10 Mr.. Stanhope's de-
mand yesterday for the production Of his
(Mr. Chamberlain's) letter to Mr..
Hawkesley, he said he would gladly pro-
duce this If Sir William Vernon Har-
court and John Morley, who were mem
bers of the South African committee, de-
manded ii. Mr.. Stanhope's criticism, he
characterized as neither honest nor hon
orable" The speaker, Mr.. Court Culey,
interviewed, saying that the language OF
the colonial secretary was beyond par
Iiamentary bounds" Mr.. Chamberlain
retorted that it was impossible adequate
~ to describe Mr.. Stanhope's accusation
that he CMr Chamberlain and Sir Alfred
Miner had fomented war. Dealing with
the criticisms made upon the Soutn Al
rican League, he said he could not claim
acquaintance with single member OF
1t. The league was one OF the poorest
pecuniarLS, out at the same time one Oh
the most representative political organt-
cations ever established. With regard 10
the allegations respecting his own asso-
Citations with Cecil Rhodes, he declared
that from the time OF the Jameson rald
he had no ton. direct or in
direct. with Mr.. Rhodes on any subject
connected with South African policy. He
had seen that gentleman with reference
to the Cape-tO-Cairoa railway project
and with reference to RhOdesla, but the
conversation had never touched upon the
subjects now under discussion ana ne
would remind the house that Mr. Rhodes
although a millionaire, had gone 10 race
danger al Kimberley. Cheers.
Mr. Chamberlain then proceeded TO dis
cuss the question Of racial animosity, de-
nying that this feeling, which ne said.
was based in South Africa on contempt
would be increased by hOsulities. lie de-
clared that racial aniInosity had not oeen
created by anything the present govern
ment had done, but that II existed De-
fore her majesty's present advisers as
Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman inter-
posed with the remark: What ] wish 70
point out is that the feelinsPof luminosity
will be increased a hundred fold when the
Dutch and English are slaughterlhB
each other" Opposition cheersl
Mr. Chamberlain retorted. i say again
that the racial animosity which mas Deen !
