velopments are pending in northern Chi

sion of ruinous military rivalry.
Nothing is yet definitely decided. says
the correspondent, but 1t is known that
Great Britain intends strong efforts to
foster and protect her Chinese trade.

will transfer its control to the civil au-

LAST GUN LOST.

There is no longer any question. of
sentiment" continued Lord Salisbury
I'VE have entered upon a matter of
business which we must push through.
What we are now seeking is security.
Any peace which recognizes fully the
rights Of the sovereign and gives us
security for the empire, we should ac-
cept. not only with willingness, but
with delight. 1t is useless to tell us to
Lehave so as to leave pleasant rccol-
le ction in the minds of those with whom
we are fighting. The only result that
can compensate for the sacrifice of
blood and treasure is that, for the fu-
ture, there shall be security in that
part of the empire upon which the am
bition of Mr.. Kruger has poured this
abundance of sorrow and desolaton."
Lord Salisbury said he had no mis-
givings for the future and that he be-
lieved the war had made the country
more confident in it's external DC icy,
more convinced that it's opinions W ould
receive due consideration from the
committee of nations But when the
present strain had passed away. con-
tihued the speaker, there would still
remain duties which could not be
shirked. The existence Of hostile feel
ing in Ireland was a signal that the
efforts. upon which depend in no light
degree the glory and continuance O. the
empire. must not be relaxed.
1.-The maintenance of our position in
Ireland is the most vital object the
empire has. and it can only be alta med
by strenuous exertions," said the pre-
mier.
The premier asked if the Irish p; ople
loved the government better than they
did formerly, and replied himself that
they did not. He said that the feelings
of hostility which had been expressed
were more uncompromising than any
expressions which had ever issued from
the lips of Parnell or O'Connell.
Az Irish government. with power to
accumulate arms and ammunition.
would constitute a more serious threat
than had the Beers. Whilst the ortho-
dox leader of the Liberal party had de-
clared himself in favor of home rule.
said the speaker the semi-orthodox
leader of that party, whose utterances
were harder to interpret, while he had
not pledged himself to home rule, had
studiously avoided any pledge from
which the contrary might be inferred.
The premier concluded with saying
that the conspicuous duty of the Union
lists was to maintain a permanent juno
ton between England and Ireland and
that it was by sustaining this junction
that they would maintain the greatness
OF the constitution and the splendor of
the British empire
