deplored the amendment, which, he az
serted, would bs misunderstood BY the
oontinsn tAl critics By our fellow subjects
In Natal and BY our kinsnen In Amerios

As regards the forces engaged, Mr..
Wyndham said, that, exclusive OF the
eighth division and the fourth cavalry
brigade, Great Britain has $4,000 foot
and artillery, 800 cavalry. &c siege guns,
80 naval gums, g6 howitzers, "a batteries
Of horss artillery and 2si field pieces,
while the com bined forces Of the two re-
pubiics were estimated In 1893. at 5000
men.
MIR. Wyndham also said he would have
to ask the House for large financial
means In order that ths war might be
brought to the only possible conclusion
and that the system Of home defense be
put on sound footing. Sir Edward Grey,
liberal, member for Der wick Tonweed.
after some further debate said he recog-
n,zed that the speech of Mr.. wyndham
was ono which gave greater strength TO
the government, and had done eomething
to lift the gloom that had fallen on the
country.
"There are differences Of opinion
among tAs opposition" he continued,

The gossip In tbs Hobbies tonight ihdi-
oates q belief that Sir Henry Campbell
Bannsrman's support of the amendment
to the address has landed him In tight
place. The amsndment ~ q party move
to unite all sections Of liberals, has failed.
1t has only resulted In rallying the sup
porters of the government, who had been
considerably embarrassed by criticisms
even On their own side. Moreover the
followers Of Lord Roseberry will probably
support the government. As the Irish
members will abstain firm voting the ul-
innate majority will probably be even
larger than usual. It Is felt that the
liberals have heen trying to make capital
out Of the crisis an attempt which is ut
teriy out Of tou,h with the real feeling Of
the country.
