shown they were united to the motherland,
never to be separated.
Lord Kimberley, the Liberal leader in the
House of Lords, in the course of his re-
marks, a~nimadverted strongly upon the
sudde dissolution of Parliament. He OBJ
jected to the breyity and ~abruptness in the
Queens speech and demanded a definite
pronouncement OF the government policy,
in view of the novel and dangerous char
acter of the recrudeScence or hostilities In
South Africa, and explanations of the al
legged cruelties to the Beers, the burning of
farms and similar seventies. He concurred
in the annexation of the republics, but
trusted the government possessed a def
mite policy for speedily concluding the war.
His lordship was gratiied at the Anglo
German agreement, but he said an attempt
TO capture the Emperor and Empress dow
ager of China would be an alarming under
taking.
Lord Salisbury. after paying a tribute to
the skill OF Lord Roberts and General
Kitchener and to the bravery of the officers
and soldiers. spoke with great solemnity in
regard to South Africa. He said the Trans
walters, the Free Staters and the world
should understand there could be no de-
Walton from the policy of the government
already utlined Anything resembling in
dependence could never be granted. The
war must proceed TO the inevitable issue.
1--WE must let IL be felt that no one, by the
issue of an insolent and audacious ultima
tum, could force the British government to
humble itself and abandon its rights He
could never allow that a Shreu OF inuepend-
ence should be left. How soon the Free
Staters and the Transvaalers would have
anything like self-governing powers de-
pended on themselves. 1t might be years
and IL might be generations.
Regarding China, Lord Salisbury said he
was unable TO reveal anything, as IL would
be betraying the secrets of other nations
as well as those of the government. He
was happy, however. To be able TO quiet
the fears of Lord Kimberley regarding
the pursuit of the Emperor and the EN-
press. He had never heard CT such a
suggestion. The concert existed and the
latest intelligence showed that 1. possessed
n very reasonable vitality. He was more
doubtful of the time when a satisfactory
result would be achieved than of the fac.
that the concert OF Europe would be sue
cessful.
The feature of the session was Lord
Rosebery's spirited attack on the govern
ment. He was unsparing in his criticism
OF the dissolution OF Parliament, the con-
duct of the war, the policy of the govern
ment towards China and everything
handled by the Cabinet. He causticaIly
commented on the reconstruction of the
Cabinet. CONTEMPLATING Lord Salisbury on
being the chief of a family numbering so
many able administrators, the reference
being TO the inclusion In the Cabinet OF
several OF Lord Salisbury's relatives. Lord
Rosebery's omment on the charges
against Mr.. Chamberlain. the secretary Of
state for the colonies, was severe. He depre-
Gated over-telief I'm the credibility of all
head OF the Cabinet had failed in proper
supervision, and the pride OF England in
the purity of its public men had suffered.

Rosebery and Lord Tweedmouth closed
