BROUGHT UP BY REDMOND
kaiser's Plan to End Boer War Dis
cussed in Commons.

London, Nov. 3.--It has become evi-
dent that the plan of campaign for
ending the Boer war, which was
drawn up by Emperor William and
sent to Queen Victoria, according to
the interview with his majesty that
appeared last week in the Daily Tele-
graph, was not communicated to the
British war Office This matter has
aroused the ire of the Irishmen, who
affect to see therein an attempt to rob
their fellow countryman, Lord Rob
erts, of the glory attached to his sue
cess, and William Redmond, the Ma.
tionalist, heckled War Secretary Hal
dane on the subject in the house OF
commons. The secretary replied that
the archives of the war office con
tanned no such document and that he
could find no record of its ever hav-
ing been in the possession of any
body connected with the department
Mr.. Redmond wound up his questions
by suggesting that Mr.. Haldane pro
pose to Premier Asquith the propriety
of offering Emperor William seat In
the British cabinet, thereby making
the situation regular.
