LOUD OVATION TO RosEBERY
Hearty Demonstration Is Given Lib
eral Leader by Liverpool
Audience.

LIVERPOOL, Feb. 14.-Lord Rosebery re-
ceived tremendous ovation at the great
liberal demonstration here this evening
His lengthy speech, the principal one Of
the evening was attentiveiy received and
heartily applauded. He failed to throw any
fresh light upon the war situation, but he
strongly emphasized his hostility to the
Irish party and his desire to utterly ALLEVIATE
1t from the liberal camp.
During his remarks Lord Rosebery said
that the greatest change had been under
gone. Mr.. Gladstone's bills were dead and
buried, the Irish party had now Indignantly
repudiated any connection with the liberal
party, and he believed they had acted
wisely. 1t was both to their interests and
to those Of the liberal party. The Irish
leaders had played their full hand They
had demanded an independent Parliament
In Dublin, and thereupon he had cried
halt" This remark was greeted with APP
plause. Continuing, Lord Rosebery said:
/ tm not prepared, at any time or up-
der any circumstances. to grant them an
Independent Parliament. No sane person
would ever consent TO handing over the
heart OF the empire tofa Parliament com
trolled By. those who have Expressed the

them perfectly clear on returning to pub

Regarding the war, Lord Rosebery said
he had been ridiculed for the suggestion
of casual peace negotiations in some way
side inn. but he thought the mission of
DR.. Kuyper bore a resemblance to euch a
course. He thought the reply to DR..
Kuyper was fitting and dignifed, but the
government had acted wrongly in declining
to reckon with the Boer delegates in
Europe and allow them to send a deputa-
tion to South Africa

Lord Rosebery, lis that they are always

the future. when Boer and Briton will have
to live together in South Africa
The speaker appealed for an immediate
and searching inquiry into the remount
scandals. commented generally upon the
governments seeming want of definite
policy in Malta and Wei Hal Wei In con-
clusion, he begged that his hearers would
not be too ready to allow their hands to
be tied by the Anglo Japanese alliance.

he partook Of solid food, meat being in

the hasty dash into New England last Sun
day, when the presidents anxiety to reach
his son outran the fastest special train.
The trip to Groton was made in fourteen
hours, but eighteen hours were consumed
in the return and in this homecoming the
president had a chance to make three short
rear car speeches to the crowd at Worces-
ter, Woonsocket and Providence. In each
he assured the waiting hundreds that
Ted was all right and out OF the woods
and in each case the crowd seemed as Joy
Gus as the president and cheered VOclfer-
ously.
The journey after leaving Providence was
uneventful. DR.. Lambert, who went to
Groton at the special request Of the presi-
dent, left the train Just before it was taken
onto the ferry boat Maryland at Harlem
river early this morning. The private car
did not go into the Philadelphia station and
at Baltimore there was no one except train
hands to gaze curiously into the car of the
