The speaker then read the Queen’'s speech, shortly after which Sir Alexander Fuller Acland Hood, Conservative mem- ber for West Somerset, rose to move the address in reply. He wore the scarlet and rold uniform of a captaln of the Grena- diers. Sir Alexander Hood sald the House ad never met under graver circum- stances, not only for South Africa but for whole empire. Dwelling upon the rrors of war, he declared that war should not be 'undertaken except from absolute necessity, but that in this case all peaceable means ng failed, war had become necessary *to establish equal rights for the white race in South Africa and to remove the grievances of the Qut- landers. After reviewing the course of the nego- tiations between the British Government and the Transvaal, he said that Presi- dent Kruger by his own act had removed all chance of peace. After dwelllng upon the splendid offers of assistance made by the colonies and the sity of main- taining Great Britain''s paramountcy,” he iimadverted upon the deflant language of President Steyn of the Orange Kree State, declaring that unl the question of British supremacy was settled now Brittsh rule in South Africa would go. He asserted that the British Government under exceptional provocation had shown great patience and forbearance and that Great Britain had now no option but to repel attack. Clement Royds, Conservative member for Rochdale, seconded the address. r Henry Campbell-Bannerman, Liberal leader in the House of Commons, who fol- lowed Mr. Royds, satd Parliament had been summoned to-give its approval to the early steps of war. Never had the house met In ciroumstances more serfous or amid conditions engaging to a greater de- gree the profound interest of the British people. The demands made by the Gov- ernment of the South African republic were such as to make it impossible for the Government or any self-respecting coun- try ever to take them into consideration. “*‘Actual hostilities have commenc said Sir Henry, ““and an active aggr has been committed, which it is the plain duty of our Ministers, of Parliament and of the people to resist.

But 1 may say it does appear to me that the governments are engaged In a game of bluff (cheers and Ministerialist cries of “No, no”), which is not a very worthy one for a 'great country like this.

He repelled the allegation that the Government had goaded the South African republic into war by flaunt- ing Great Britain's suzerainty In their faces. The South African republic made claims to being an Independent sovereign state, but these were inconsistent with the conventions of 1881 and 1884. Mr. Balfour said he could not understand Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman’s declaration that the vernment had played a game of | blufr. “Bluff,” safd the Government leader, ‘means & person acting as though he held cards he does not possess; but this coun- try holds the cards and means to play them.” 3 Sir Henry Cawmpbell-Bannerman, he said, disapproved sending the troops to South Africa, an irritating menace o the Boers. “But where would we not be but for those troops? Not to have sent troops would have been to betray the country.” Mr. Balfour said further that he felt en- titled to say: *If war must come it has seldom been entered into by Great Britain upon ap issue which was more clearly an issue of righteousness and liberty, ang we have undoubted proof that our self-gov- erning colonies beyond the seas are with us heart and soul John Dillon, Nationalist member of the East Division of Mayo, moved an amend- metn to the address as follow ’ ““We humbly represent to her Mafesty that the state of war now existing be- tween Great Britain and the South Afri- can Republic has been caused by the as- | sertion of clalns which Interfere with the internal government of the r?ubllc, in di- rect violation of the terms of the conven- tion of 1884, and by massing large bodies of British troops on the frontier of the republic.

After some sharp passages between “olcnel Edward J, Saunderson, who sicts for North Armagh in the Conservative in- terest, and the Irish members, a divi sion was taken on Mr. Dillon's ame :.n“":' which was rejected by a vote of 0 54, The minority consisted mainly of Irish members and a few Radicals, ~including Mr. Henry Labouchere, Mr. P.

He went on to dwell upon the grievances of the Outlande and emphatically declared that the Bri ish Government has resorted to every pos sible means of effecting a peaceful issu After criticising the action of the Trans. vaal executive council in sending the ul- timatum, the Marquis of Granby served that {t was not “impossible that the union of the two states originated 22 assembled at 4 being Stock Exc! about the | e T EaCEs | indigenous races of whose destiny T fear | | | | The Prince of Wales sat amie s benches and there were many | State | ac- | | probably be held ob- | States court. | was seriously I in some deeper scheme which may have | lurked in the minds of the two govern- ments for some time. “This scheme for a 10|nt movement,” | he continued, “is not alded, T trust, by Afrikanders in other parts of Sonth Africa; but, if it exists, it is one that impair the power would tend seriously Y Tnanimous feeling of Great Britain. here, however, is that the paramount power in South Africa should be Great Britain."” Baron Barnard seconded the address. The Earl of Kimberley, the Liberal leader, said Parliament had been sum- moned at a solemn moment when Britons found themselves engaged In a war which was, in some of its aspec a civil war. Of course, it was not civil war precisely but it was a war in which a number of British subjects, not of the English race were deeply engaged, Regarding the calling out of the re- upplies, he con- serves and the voting of tinued: “I can speak with no doubtful voice. Whatever may be our opinions as melancholy to the past history of this business, we are as ready as the usual supporters of the Government to give our support to whatever measure may be nec. essary to vindicate the honor of the em pire and to protect its interests.” Lord Kimberley said the Government could not have sent any other reply than it did send to the exXtraordinary uiti- He warmly praised the readiness of the reserves and expressed entire confidence that the Brit- ish soldier would do his duty in South Africa in the future as he had done every- where in the past. “There are some points fn the negotia- tions, however," observed his lordehip, “which I have not viewed with satisf tion. The negotiations have not veen con- ducted in a prudent and certainly not in a successful manner, My own interpre- tatlon of the werd ‘suzerainty’ is that there are in the London convention cer tain stipulations which limit British so ereignty in the Transvaal and to the e tent’ of these limitations there is con- strictive auzerainty.” .ord Kimberley in closing criticized the tone of Mr. Chamberlain's recent -cches. Premier, the Marquis of Salibury ing to Lord Kimberley's criticisms of gotiations, afd: “The Boer Government was pleased to pense with any negotiations on our specting the causes or justifica- tion of the war. They have done what no provocation on our part could have jus- tified. They have done what the stron, est natlon has never in its strength d to any opponent it had challenged. They issued a deflance so audaclous that I could scarcely deplet it without using words unsuited for this assembly, and by so doing they liberated this counfry from the necessity of explaining to the peopie of England why we are at war. But for this no one could have predicted that we would ever be at war. There have been very grave questions hetween us, but up to the time of the ultimatum the modes we suggested of settling them were suc and the spirit In which we were met was encouraging.
