House of Lords, the Lord Chancellor
Tread the Kings speech and the MARQUIS
of Waterford, Conservative, moved the
address in reply. He is, perhaps. the
youngest member to whom the honor
has ever been accorded. Lord Manners
seconded the motion.
Lord Kimberley, Liberal leader, after
! complimenting the mover and seconder
of the address, said the House needed
no further assurances that the King
would follow in the steps of his mother
and proceeded to express dissatisfaction
with the conduct of the war in South

great enthusiasm and persistency ex-
listed in country like South Africa,
months must elapse berore tranquility
could be restored. Therefore, he did

approached for the procession to the
House of Lords, demonstrated with the
members for crowding around the bar
with the view OF getting an advantage
/ in the race for the House of Lords.
