W0LSELEY AND LANSDOWNE.
The Formers Comments Upon the
Conmandcr-in-Chie Position
and the Latter's Reply.

London. March 15.-A parliamentary
Lord Wolseleys memorandum to Lord
Salisbury dated Nov. u. 1900. and the crit
ical minutes upon the same by Lord
Lansdowne and Mr.. Brodrick
The memorandum, which was first re-
ferred to by Lord Iansdowne in the re-
cent debate in the House of Lords, gives
in substance the gist of Lord Wolseley's
speech in the upper chamber. He deslg-
mates the Commander-in-C as fifth
wheel to the COACH" declares that the
existing system is unworlSable and can
be found in no other country in the world,
and recommends either that the army be
again placed under military commander,
or, If for some non-military reasons, this
is not practicable, then that the office of
commander-in-chief, as now constituted,
be abolished.
1T is now merely a high-soundng title,
with no real responsibility attached" says
the memorandum, "and answers no useful
purpose"
Lord Lansdowne in a minute, dated
Nov. II, declares that Lord Wolseley was
mistaken in believing that he (WolseIey)
was not responsible for the efficiency of
the army and that he failed to realize
the limitations imposed by the parliament
tary system. He describes Lord Wolse-
ley's first alternative as ''reactionary and
mischievous" and the second as less dan
gerous, but inadvisable."
Mr.. Brodrick says, in a minute, that
Lord Wolseley failed to appreciate the
extent of his powers and did not always
act upon those he knew he possessed. He
goes on to point out that Lord Wolseley
omitted to mention mobilization and in
telligence. for both of which he alone was
responsible.

HARRISON's HOME TRIBUTE.
James WhitcOmb Riley's Poem on
Harrison, Written TO-dayi

indianapolis, Ind. March IA, 1901
Bowed, midst a universal grief that
makes
Columbia's self a stricken mourner, cast
In tears beneath the old flag at half
mast
A sense of glory rouses us, and breaks
Like song upon sorrowing, and shakes
The dew up from our drenched eyes that
smile at last
In childish pride-as though the great
man passed
To his most high reward for our poor
sakes
Loved OF all men-we muse-yet ours he
was
Choice of the nations mighty brother
hood
Her soldier. statesman, ruler-aye, but
then,
We knew him-long before the worlds ap-
plause
And after-as a neighbor kind and good
Our common friend and fellow citizen.

NEGOTIATING WITH US.
Lord CranbOrne Declines 10 Give
Away Diplomatic Secrets.

Away DlptO"aUC SSCEttSs
London, March 14-Lord .Cranborne, un-
der secretary for the foreign office, re-
plying to questions to-day in the House
of Commons concerning Great Britain's
negotiations with the United States rela-
tive to Russia and Manchuria, said the
government was in constant oommunica-
ton with the Powers concerned on every
phase of the Chinese question, but that
il would be contrary to public interest
to enter into particulars at the present
moment.
The Proposals Criticised.
The leaders of the opposition search
ingIy criticised the governments propo-
sails for the increase and reform of the
army. Sir Henry Campbell -Bannerman
declared that no justification had been Of
fered by the government for increasing
the aggressive military power of Great
Britain. Dwelling upon the difficulty of
getting recruits, he asserted that the .coun-
try would not stand consoription and that
the government was introducing military
system and spirit which would fatally
change the character of the nation and
the empire.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt said that
nothing could be more hollow than the
idea that great armaments were security
for peace, adding that it was an easy mat
ter to make a war inevitable.
"Other countries need great armies,
said Sir William, because they have
long and vulnerable frontiers. Englands $
position is in the sea, and 1t is the fleet
that must be made sufficient at what
ever cost"
Mr. HeaIy's Interruption.
After midnight and during the debate
on supply, a scene occurred. Lord Hugh
Cecil called for a division, and Timothy
Healy rising with evident excitement,
asked the speaker whether the noble
lord, the Premier's son, was entitled to
interrupt He addressed some remarks 10
Lord Hugh Cecil which were drowned in
en- uproar of shouts and cries of Send
for the poiicei"
The speaker sternIy called Mr.. Healy
to order, asking him to stop interrupting.
Mr.. Healy retorted:
Il won't. You can do what you like,
but keep the PremieTs SON in order. You
wont turn him out"
Then turning to LORD Hugh Cecil, Mr..
Healy exclaimed:
I'VE won't stand nonsense from you"
All the time the Nationalists were
cheering, laughing and shouting Turn
him outr Fetch the police" and the
like. Eventually quiet was restored.
