HE PLEADS FOR UNITY
SIR HENRY cAMPBELL-BANNER- t MAN SPEAKS.
Says Rosebery's New League is an Excellent Army Equipped With c General Stan But without
 Recruits

London, March A--1ir Henry CsA1p- bell -Bannerman, Eiberal leader Tn the House of Commons. speaking in Lpssdcu Tonight before the Nati0nslt@ @5afpsfHi Ctnb, made q strong plea for hberal unity. Without extending the olive branch to Lord Rosebery in such a fashion as to presage a coalition of the two forces, Sir Henry began comparing Lord Rose bery's new league to an excellent army equipped with general stan, but with out recruits. He said no true friend of Liberalism would introduce discordant factions into the party and thus paralyze efficient action. Under certain circum- stances, he said, their duty would be to fight such a section with all power and energy Sir Henry said that he had been assured, however. and that he was ready to believe that this new section of the party was working on parallel lines and so, why in the name of common sense. Sir Henry asked. did it not work with the Liberal party?
 In, referring to South Africa, the speaker said the war was only a tran sient interlude and that after the war the great question would come.
 Sir Henry concluded by declaring that the only solution of the South African and Irish questions would be govern ment Dy assent ot the governed.
 The speech of Sir Henry Campbell-Ban- herman which accentuated the split in the Liberal party was echoed at East bourne by Lord Spencer who expressed his keen disappointment over the attitude of Lord Rosebery and declared that he could not assent to the abandonment of home rule.
 Lord Spencer said that he totally dis agreed with and could not possibly wish success to the new Roseberyite Liberal League.

John Remond Speaks.

London. March 5.-John Redmond, chairman of the Irish parliamentary par ty. in speaking tonight at an Irish League demonstration at Finsbury. Mid dlesex.. said that the Irish party was ap- parently the only party in Parliament today which knew it's own mind and was not torn by internal dissentions. Every reference MT. Redmond made to Mir. Salisbury. the Premier; Mir. Wyndham. the Chief Secretary of Ireland; Lord Rosebery and MT. IT. H. Asquith. M. F.. was greeted with groans and misses. MT. Redmond further said that the demands of those in favor of home rule were mod crate and reasonable. Far from English legislators being able to pigeon hole home rule or wipe it of the slate. 1t would remain, the speaker said. to con- found. confuse and divide English par ties, to wreck English governments, to ruin English statesmen. to paralyze Eng fish parliaments and to blast the moral influence of England before the world. until 1t was settled by the concessions of the just, moderate and constitutional demands of the Irish people.
