Condition Pictured.
CHESTERFIELD, England, Dec. II.
Lord Rosebery's long expected and
much heralded speech delivered here
last night was received with marked
enthusiasm by an immense crowd. 1t
can hardly be said to have thrown
much light along tie pathway Of the
Liberal party. That the speech was
finished Oratorical effort was amply
testified to by the frequent applause
with which the speaker was interrupt
ed. But it is doubtful when he had fin
nished il his most adlniring listener
could have given any justification for
his enthusiasm save that it was Lord
Rosebery.
Resolved into Its elements, the speech
merely said. Get together" The
speaker himself confessed that he did
not pretend to say how this cohesion
should be accomplished. In urging his
fellow Liberals to reorganze Lord
Rosebery quoted the following words
from the message of President Roose-
welt: "We hope to keep going by slow
steps. not by bounds. We must keep
our eyes on the stars. but we must
also remember that our feet are on the
ground"
The following was the tenor of the
former premier's speech: The ministry
was wrong, but the Liberals should be
very careful how they tried to set 1t
right.
Turning from the immediate out
break Of the war. Lord Rosebery
touched upon education. in which he
said Great Britain was woefully be-
hind her sister nations. Her CONNER
cial development was also sadly afro.
phied, said the speaker, and the time
would soon come when Britain would
be forced to fight for trade supremacy.
She would then be as helpless as
though armed with bows and arrows.
Lord Rosebery maintained discreet
vagueness on the question Of his per-
sonal inclinations concerning the lead
ership Of the Liberal party He said
lie could not imagine himself in the
position Of minister. But in the next
breath he told how he would reorgan-
lze the war office If 1t fell to his lot.
He said this reorganization, however,
should be postponed.

RAILWAY RUMBLES.

Ireland claims the honor of the first
electric railway in the United King
dom.
It is said that the cheapest railway
fares in the world are to be found in
Hungary.
Denmark has a government railroad
system of 1.167 miles and 525 miles of
private railroads.
The Servian, Roumanian and Bulga-
rian railroads are owned exclusively
by the respective governments.
Travellers on Prussian railways whose
baggage, through no fault of their
own, fails to arrive with them can now
have it sent Oh request free to their
houses.
The difficulty of railway construction
In some parts of Africa is illustrated
by the fact that on the Freetown-Mat-
tru line, in Sierra Leone, eleven steel
bridges had to be built in a distance Of
only thirty kilometers.
A representative of the Paris Temps
has been examining railway stations in
Germany, and he declares that those Of
Dresden, Cologne, Hanover, Frankfort,
Bremen, etc, are far superior to any
of the French except the Partisan.
