,.,son. oct 26. / a. m.-Mr. Chamberlain's
'..ch IN Glasgow was bravely aggressive, yet
~ elective than his oratory usually is He
lacked the Irish members for rowdyism and
sstruction in Parliament. and advocated strin-
Vt reformation of the business procedure OF
~ House OF Commons and the redistribution
,.he seats. by which the Nationalists would be
Tssrmed. He assailed the Liberal Imperiaiists
.,r lacking the courage OF their convictions, and
s.,ounced the pro-Boer Radicals for lending
IA and comfort 10 the enemy
Even with these vigorous blows he failed TO
,ro5uce the impression that he was in the best
:, sghting form.
pe was more cautious and reticent respecting
coutb Africa, reverting TO the arguments and
-hrsses which he had often before used His
',,,ersnces on the supreme question of the day
s,a NOT lack firmness and resolution, and he
.vsn hinted at sterner measures for dealing
nth the Cape rebels and the Beers than had
nreyiously been employed.
His speech was neither optimistic nor pessi-
ristic respecting South Africa, but contained lit
tls that tended either 10 encourage the country
or reinvigorate the Unionist party. The meet
,ns which he addressed was an immense demon
.s,ration Of the power OF the Conservatives in
Scotland. the oldtime Liberal stronghold.
While Mr.. Chamberlain was declaring az
Edinburgh last night that it was the duty of
pro-Boer section, Sir Henry Campbell Banner
man speaking at Stirling. Scotland. said 1t
was no part OF his duty 10 rebuke confute or
e1communicate any Liberal. Sir Henry Camp
bell-BannerInan characterized as barbarous
some of the methods OF warfare which had been
adopted by the British, and said the govern
ments object should be TO bring about con-
tentment in South Africa under the predomi-
nant power OF Great Britain
o'Brien Croker, manager OF the Cork and
South Coast of Ireland Railway. has forwarded
10 'The Cork Press a letter containing impor-
tant information in reference TO the proposed
new fast steamship service across the Atlantic
There will be bi-weekly service from Nara
gansett Bay direct 10 Berehayen. Cork The
tine occupied at sea viii be ninety hours, and it
is expected that mails and passengers viii be
four ana a half days. The new steamers will
be Of the turbine class, and oil fuel wifi be used
The capital OF the company is S30Y0o0OOO. 1t is
Intended 10 build six fast boats. If the English
Government subsidize for carriage OF mails the
vessels viii be built in England and carry the
English flag; if not. they viii be built in Amer
lea and carry the American flag
J. Pierpont Morgan's gift 20 St. Paul's cathe
crsl is fully appreciated here, but there is a
feeling OF regret that the British national cathe-
dral should have 10 be dependent upon the mu-
nihcence OF an American in order TO be brought
up to date.
The Exeter meeting offered meagre consolation
so>General Buffers friends. The proceedings
a the Devon!an gathering were quiet and
dseorous the sagacious counsel of Sir John
Kennaway having been taken TO heart by the
Mayor Of Exeter and other organizers There
was no antagonism 10 either the government or
the War Office. but perfunctory expression OF
confidence IN General Butler as a soldier was
adopted.
IL is probable that the excitement over the
Butler episode will speedily simmer down, as
Ministers like Walter Long are emphatically
declaring that the dismissal the natural
sequel TO the foolish speech, which was sub
Sersve Of military discipline.
