BRITISH POLITICS.
SPEECH BY CAMPBELL-BANNERM
LIBERAL LEADERS COMMENT ON LORD
ROsEBERY's LEAGUE FACTION.

London, March Sir Henry Campbell-Ban-
herman. Liberal leader in the House of Com
mons. speaking in London tonight before the
National Liberal Club made strong plea for
Liberal unity.
Without extending the olive branch to Lord
Rosebery in such fashion as to presage coali-
ton of the two forces Sir Henry began COM
pairing Lord Rosehery's new league TO an eX-
cellent army equipped with general staff, but
without recruits He said true friend OF
Liberalism would introduce discordant factions
into the party. and thus paralyze efficient &C
ton. Under certain circumstances, he said,
their duty would he to fight such a section
with all power and energy Sir Henry said he
had been assured, however and that he was
ready to believe, that this section of the
party was working parallel lines and for
identical objects. But if this were so, why IN
the name of common sense Sir Henry asked, dld
1t not work with the Liberal party?
Sir Henry denied that any personal differ
ences responsible for the split in the party.
Referring to South Africa, the speaker said
the war was only a transient interlude, and
that after the the great question would
come. Sir Henry concluded by declaring that
the only solution of the South African and irish
questions would be government by assent OF the
governed.

PRAYS FOR BISHOP POTTER.
NEWARK W. C. t. U. HOLDS ALL DAY
MEETING TO MAKE HIM TAKE ITS
VIEW OF SUNDAY OPENING.

The Womans Christian Temperance Union Of
Newark held an all day prayer meeting in their
hall at Mulberry and Market SITS, Newark, yes
terday to pray for Bishop Potter Only eight
women braved the storm in the morning and
one present Mrs. Sarah Blanchard,
veteran worker in the cause, presided. She said
that the object sought was to touch the heart
of Bishop Potter and make him see the Sunday
saloon question in its true light. Mrs. Martha
Sullivan made a long and fervent prayer on
behalf of the Bishop She said:
Lord, a minister OF Thy Gospel who is bishop
too, sees no sin in the open saloons on Thy Sab
bath Day. We pray that his heart may be
touched by the Holy Spirit, so that his opinions
more defend the wrong against the right We
pray Thee have mercy upon him and also
pray for the poor men made drunkards by the
saloons
Mrs Henry Franks, of Elizabeth. in dis
cussing the Bishops remarks asserted that
Episcopal clergymen had very liberal ideas on
the liquor question, and some had wine and
brandy in their rectores She said she knew
of persons who had left the church because the
rector used liquors; and she knew of Universal
lists who saw no harm in drinking wine.
2. Mcintosh the man, took somewhat diff
ferent view. Bishop Potter. he said, more
of man than others who thought he did but
would not say where they stood.
Mrs Blanchard referred TO the Rev. DR.. Rains
ford and his disparaging remark about the
Woman's Christian Union, and said the union
prayed that Jesus Christ would touch his heart
and the heart of Bishop Potter The discussion,
varied by repeated prayers. was kept up all day.
interrupted only by luncheon at noon.

MORE CANAL OBSTACLES.
NEW PROTOCOLS MUST BE ARRANGED
FOR THE NICARAGUA AS WELL
AS PANAMA ROUTE.

Washington. March 5-Every fresh turn in
the development Of the isthmian canal project
discloses obstacle. 1t now appears that
the protocols negotiated last spring with Mica
ragua and Costa Rca. whereby these countries
outlined the terms on which they were prepared
to enter into permanent treaties with the United
States. conveying the necessary rights for canal
construction, are no longer in effect Conditions
have changed since then and whenever the bal
ance OF opinion seems to incline toward the one
route or the other for the canal. the government
interested in the favored route suddenly hardens
its terms and is disposed to abandon past
agreements. Therefore it will be necessary to
draw up new protocols. not only for the Panama
Canal with Colombia, but for the Nicaragua
Canal with Costa Rica and Nicaragua. in pur-
suance Of the State Departments policy Of plac-
Ing it within the power OF Congress freely TO
choose either route.

GARLAND PoRcELALNS SOLD.
THE COLLECTION. SAID TO BE WORTH
S1Ooo,OOO, TO REMAIN AT MUSEUM
FOR THE PRESENT.

The collection Of Chinese porcelains. gathered
from all parts of the world by the late James A.
Garland. formerly vice-presdent of the First
National Bank, of this city, sold on Tuesday
afternoon by the trustees Of the Garland estate
to Duveen Brothers, art collectors, of No. 3O2
Fifth-ave. The sale was private, and, according
to an agreement between the parties. the con-
sideratiOn not made public. The collection.
however is said TO be of the finest of its
kind. and has been valued at about $1,O00.OO
by experts
For the last seven years the collection has been
lent to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where
it is displayed in seventeen cases. 1t comprises
nearly 1,5O0 pieces. Since Mr.. Garland's death.
a year ago the collection has remained at the
museum. 1t was held in trust for the heirs Of
the estate.
While Mr.. Garland interested in the gen
eral field he devoted his special attention to
Chinese porcelains. In 1884 he gave Henry
Duveen, the senior member of the firm which
purchased the collection Tuesday, carte blanche
to obtain any piece which would add to the col
lection. For fourteen years Mr.. Duveen at
tended many important sales in Europe and
other parts of the world where Chinese porce
lains were disposed Of Agents were sent TO
China where works were purchased from orig
inal owners The collection represents the Chi
pottery art of the fifteenth sixteenth,
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries
One of the finest pieces in the collection is
the black vase. decorated with red blossoms.
1t is said to be the only representative of its
kind in the world. The value placed upon this
piece is $4,000. Others in the collection are the
four blue and white hawthorne pots, among
them being the Blenheim pot, formerly orna-
ment in the BIenhem Palace valued, it is said,
at $4,000, and the powder blue famille vase,
and the famille verte eggshell lanterns The
two latter were purchased at the sale of the
Mary Morgan collection. in New-York fifteen
years ago, at which time they brought $4,000.
The collection will remain at the museum
for the present" said Henry Duveen. at the
Hotel Savoy, last evening We have made no
arrangement yet concerning disposition OF
it. and may not for some time Every effort
will be made to keep the collection intact. as a
great part of its interest lies in its wonderful
scope and thoroughness- 1t is the greatest in
tegral art treasure in this country"
Concerning the details Of the sale Mr. Duveen
refused to talk. but said that the Garland heirs
had realized a profit in the transaction This
he said. possible from a purely business
standpoint account of the great appreciation
of the works of art since their purchase from
time to time by Mr.. Garland.

hall, where Alavantcs ordered the men of the
Fire Department to join him. This motley pro-
cession proceeded to the gendarmes barracks,
where Alavantics paraded the gendarmes. Two
OF the latter however. whose suspicious were
aroused escaped and apprised their commander,
Captain Nikolcs The latter, when he arrived
on the scene called AlavantiCS to produce
some document as authority for his actions
Whereupon the would-be revoutionist leader
wounded the latter. Nikolics promptly shot and
killed AlaVantcs. whose followers were then ar
rested.
