House of Commons. speaking at Dundee to-
day, said he hoped Lord Rosebery would
return TO the leadership of the Liberals,
adding that If he did he must be chief of

Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman's invita-
ton TO lord Rosebery attracts considerable
attention in the morning papers. but seeing
that he seized the same occasion to deal

is not believed that the incident will bring
the reunion of the Liberal party apprecia-

There vas some complaint that the pauses
between the acts were too long. and the
police decided that these waits must not
last over fifteen minutes. The police also
discovered that certain actors were being
applauded far beyond their real merits
They, therefore. decided that In future
no actor may be applauded more than three
