LONDON, Feb. 19.-At the general
meeting of the committee OF the
Liberal Federation held at Leices.
ter today, after much dissent and
an animated debate, a resolution
was passed eondemning the policy
Of insisting on the unconditional
surrender of the Beers in South
Africa, affirming that the future
contentment and security OF South
Africa could only be secured by
regular peace, on broad; generous
lines; welcoming the impetus Lord
Rosebery has given to this policy
and calling on all Liberal members
Of the House of Commons to sup
port lhe Liberal leader, Sir Henry
Csmpbell-Bannerman, in his advo-
cacy of this policy.
II any question remained as 10
the unlikelihood OF working
agreement between Lord Rosebery
and the Liberal party machine, it
was answered in the negative to-
night in an address delivered by Sir
Henry Campbell -Bannerman, the
Liberal leader in the House OF Com
mons at Leicester. After the GUS
tomary structures on the Govern
ment for it's incspacity and wrong
headedness in failing to conclude
an honorary truce with the Beers,
Sir Henry said fatty that he de
clined TO wipe his slate OF liberal
principles and reaffirmed his adhe-
sion to home rule.
