ARMY REFORM OPPOSED
BRITISH GOVERNMENTS PLANS CRIT
ICrsED IN THE COMMONS.
Lord roberts BeIittled by Sir Henry
of Sir w. v. HarcOurt.

LONDON, March 14.-In the House of
Commons to-day the leader Of the opposi-
ton searchingly criticised the governments
proposals for the increase and reform Of
the army. Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman
said: The name and fame of Lord Rob-
erts are a little too largely invoked in this
question. Lord Roberts has spent nearly
the whole of his military life in India,
where he has had to deal with a finished
article, but he has had no experience OF the
peculiar difficulties found in England of
late in utilizing and furnishing raw ma
terial." He declared that no justification
had been offered by the government for
increasing the aggressive military power of
Great Britain. Dwelling upon the diff
Guilty Of getting recruits. he asserted that
the country would not stand CONSUMPTION,
and that the government was introducing
a military system and spirit which would
fatally change the character of the nation
and the empire.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt, who re-
viewed the rapid increase in the army esti-
mates during recent years, said that MOTH
ing could be more hollow than the idea
that great ornaments were a security for
peace, adding that ii was an easy matter
&c make a war inevitable. He opposed the
proposal to have $780, 600 men ready to send
abroad. "Other countries need greater
armies" said Sir William, because they
have long and vulnerable frontiers. Eng
lands position is in the sea. and 1T Is the
fleet that must be made sufficient at what
ever cost"
After midnight and during the debate or
supply, a scene occurred. Lord Hugh Cecil
called for a division, and Mr.. Timothy
Healy, rising with evident excitement,
asked the speaker whether the noble lord,
the premier's son, was entitled to inter-
rupt He addressed some remarks to Lord
Hugh Cecil, which were drowned in an
Cproar of shouts and cries of Send for the
police
The speaker sternly called Mr.. Healy to
order, asking him 10 stop i~nterrupting.
Mr.. Healy retorted: II won You can do
what you like, but keep the premier's son
III order. You won't turn him out"
Then turning to Lord Hugh Cecil Mr..
Healy exclaimed: 1--WE won't stand nom
sense from you"
All the time the Nationalists were cheer
ing, laughing and shouting Turn him
outi' Fetch the policei' and the like.
Eventually order was restored.

The death of General Harrison comes

Foreign ONCE OmcinI on the Death of
the Ex-President.

BERLIN, March 1.-THE death Of Gen.
BENJAMIN Harrison is generally commented
on this evening by the German press. with
the exception of the semi-official organs,
but a high official of the Foreign Office
said to-day to a reporter of the Associated
Press: General Harrison was highly es-
1eemed here, and mis- death is keenly re-
GREETED. The estimation in which he was
held as an able American statesman EN-
peror William voiced on the generals visit
in 1899. when the Emperor paid him special
Eonors."
The uninspired papers, however, differ
widely in their comments. The Lokal An
zelger says: With this statesman one OF
the most emphatic Republicans has depart
ed. He was a declared champion OF the
Monroe doctrine, Will a pan-American
tendency. and an advocate of the EXTREMIST
protectionism.
Nearly all the papers print long biog-
raphies. The Boersen Zeitung says: Gen
eral Harrison. personally, was scarcely
popular. His exterior was unprepossessing,
and he often showed rude behavior"
On the announcement OF General HarTi-
sons death the fiags of the United States
Embassy and the United States consul gen.
erals office, as well as those of many mem
bers of the American colony in Berlin, were
