BRIEF THANKS FROM THE QUEEN AND
FRESH ATTACK ON THE GOVERNMENT.
London. Dec 15-Parliament was dismissed
to-day until the middle Of February with the
reading of the shortest of the Queens speeches.
1t was as follows
Ny Lords and Gentlemen: / thank you for
the liberal provision you haves made for. the
expenses incurred by the operations Of my
armies in South Africa and China
The proceedings to-day in the House of Com
mons were a repetition IN miniature OF the de-
bates of the brief session. The Ministers were
heckled, the war was virulently denounced and
Joseph Chamberlain further attacked But
the funds finally voted after the Sec
retary Of State for War William St. John Bred
rick, had given assurance that the Government
during recess would cordially cooperate with
General Kitchener in an endeavor to end the
war -"
Particularly stingng were the remarks of
John Bryn-Roberts. Liberal. member for the
South Elton Division Of Carnarvonshire. he
declared that the British treatment of the
women OF South Africa was outrage on civ
ization. and that 1t was blasphemy to hold
Christian services in ST. Paurs in connection
with the return of Lord Roberts while there
were such proceedings in South Africa.
Mr. Brodrick hotly denounced Mr.. Rryn-ROb-
erts's charges, asserting that it criminal
to make allegations which could not be proved,
but which, however, would be telegraphed to
South Africa to increase the discomfort exist
ing there. He held up Mr.. Bryn- Roberts to the
censure and reprobation OF nearly every men,
Der of the House of Commons. These remarks
were greeted with cheers. Mr.. Brodrick repeat
ed that the Government did not desire to pur-
sue a policy which would make it difficult
for the Beers to cease fighting, and that the
Government ablded in the declarations of Mr..
Chamberlain.
The session was suspended until 2 o'clock in
the afternoon, when both Houses met and were
pror0gued. - - = % -. -
