GOVERNMENT DISUNITtD
ENGLISH RADICALS VOTE
AGAINST WAR POLICY.
Chnmbcrlain's Speech Compared
To Tone of Lincoln in His
Second Presidency.

LONDON. Jan. ?i.-The rather duh
debate in the house Of commons last
night had two noticeable points The
nrst was the hopelessness Of the real
unity ot the opposition az shown by
the result OF the vote on the amend
mcnt PROPOSED by John Dillon. on
which considerable body OF the
Radicals voted with the Na;lonalists
against the policy of supporting the
war
The second point was the delivery
by Mr. Chamberlain of wha, was call
ed the turning of the corner FOR peace
speeches. which except In the extreme
nocr quarters represented by the
Daily Nrvs seems 10 Doe upon all sides
approved as a dignihcd and statesman
like ut,croncc.
Referring To this speech the Morning
Pos, says
II was the tone OF Lincoln In his sec
oni presidency
The Daily Chronicle comments upon
the absence NJ the customary asper!iy
during the debate. and declares that
Mr.. Chamberlain went near to ac-
ccp,ng Lord RoScbery's policy
MIR Chamberlain expressly declared
that the government was not animated
by any vindicitiye feeling, nor deaf to
reasonable overturcs OF principle, but
insisted that the latter must come
from responsible authority.
The Daily News argues that 1t is
pretcNt to prevent any negotiations
whatever.
Mr. Chamberlaln's speech conStdera-
bly, impressed all members Of the
house. He himself was imbued with
its Importance for at one point he
los, his notes and took a deal Of pains
to find and rearrangc them before
proceeding.

last evening by Mr.. Reau Campbell. man
ager of the American Tourists Association,
of Chicago. The annual excursion given
by the association will start Jan. 27. So
many people of this city have secured
transportation over the Pennsylvania lines
that w. w. Richardson, the district pas
senger agent, invited Mr.. Campbell to
come here and give a general lecture on
Mexico of the old days and now. Mr..
Campbell has spent many years south of
the Rio Grande and is said to know Mexico
better than any other white man. The
Propylaeum was well filled and the talk,
illustrated with stereopticon pictures of
great variety, was entertaining.
The first part of the talk was devoted to
prehistoric Mexico and to the ancient peo-
pie about whom practically nothing is
known. Mr.. Campbell described the ruined
cities that existed before the time of the
Aztecs, cities like ancient Militia, eloquent
of past greatness. The great walls. the
massive architecture and the wonderful
carvings, still to be seen by the traveller
who goes out of the beaten path, were pic
tured.
In the next section of his talk Mr.. Camp
bell marched with Cortez from his landing
al Tabasco to the entry of Mexico CITY.
The bloody scenes of the conquering march
were dramatically described. He spoke OF
the pillage of cities ana the distribution OF
the gospel with the mailed hand The civil

SOUTH SIDE LEAGUE.



The South Side Citizens League. a nom
political organization for the welfare of the
South Side, met last night at the corner OF
Downey and Wright streets TO discuss mat
tiers relating to the betterment of this To-
cality. F. j. Meyer, president of the club,
presided. Charles B. Stilz is secretary. The
question in hand last evening was that OF
the street car service, principally on the
South East-street line. This service is said
to be very poor, and 1t was with view of
getting a better schedule that the meeting
last night was held. The South East-street
line now only runs to Morris street and an
attempt is being made to have it continued
to Nebraska. The matter has already been
settled and the ties distributed, but the
work is not being pushed. This does not
worry the people living in the vicinity so
much, however, as the poor service, and a
committee was appointed to urge more fire.
Quent cars.
The street-railway company's attention
will be called to the situation and those
who promoting the affair expect to
have better service in a short time. The
committee that will look after this ques-
ton and also other matters is made upof F.
j. Meyer @. j. Meyer, councilman from
the Fourteenth ward; Dr. G.. III. Petersdorf,
Frank l.. Baker, DR.. j. Z. Norris and Chas.
b. Stilz.
Ih1s committee VIII walt on the Board
of Public Works next Monday in regard
to the street-railway service and also ask
extra fire boxes in the neighborhood. A
new frehouse in the vicinity of the Belt
and East street is deemed needed. The
attention Of the board will also be directed
to the condition of street crossings of the
South Side which are in bad condition.
The meeting last night did not in any
manner show an antagonistic spirit toward
the officials. but determined effort to look
after the interests of the South Side. 1t is
the idea of those at the head of the club to
secure the improvements that are needed
not by political methods, but property
owners and citizens. The question of the
elevation of railroad tracks will be brought
up at the next meeting, which will be on
the evening of Jan. IA. The South Side
Club has membership of over 15n
