Ly padpas S * - 5 | SNAPSHOTS OF OF SECRETARY LONG’S PARTY AT MARE ISLAN [ - NEW ARMY PLAN FOR THE EMPIRE Brodrick’s Suggestions Accepted in the Commons. IR LONDON, May 16.—In winding up the debate on the army bill in the House of Commons to-day, A. J. Balfour, the Gov- ernment leader, denied that there was any large body of opinion hostile to the scheme of Brodrick, the Secretary of State for War. reform and said that the objections to the proposed scheme were fantastic and groundless. The talks made upon the scheme were from several sides and con- sistent with each other and it would be a crime against the future to allow this oppartunity to pass and the popular en- thusiasm io die out after the experience of the last two years. The amendment of Sir Henry Camp- bell-Bannerman, the Liberal leader, in which he said the proposition largely in- creased the existing burdens without adding substantially’ to the military strength of Great Britain, and asked for figures and definite statements, was re- Jected by a vote of 327 to 211. Brodrick's heme was then adopted by a vote of 05 to 163. In the course of his speech Balfour made the sensational stalcment that at one mo- ment toward the end of 1899 there was in Great Britain an appalling scarcity of small-arms ammunition, with no_reserve of artillery ammunition except what was actually with the guns retained at home. Balfour made the revelation in an attempt to fasten on the Libcrals negligence in the matter of military supplies, pointing out that the last Liberal Government went out of office as a result of the Conserva- tives revealing the insufficient supply of small ammunition, which was then 92,000,- officials regarded as the nominal reserve. He declared that the Conservative Go ernment had raised this reserve to 170,- ‘With_reference to tie dark period of the war Balfour said: “I went through that period and so far as T am concerned I never mean to go through a like period nor to throw on my successors the risk of such a strain.” The Liberal papers seize upon Balfour’'s sensational statement in the House, T ferring to it as “‘an amazing indiscretion. The Daily News says: “This shows how near to ruin Chamberlain and his col- leagues brought the country.” “To such lighthearted gentlemen,” ex- claims the Daily Chronicle, “are the in- terests of a great empire committed.” The Government’'s immediate majority for Brodrick’s scheme is not regarded as representing the ‘opinion of the House of Commons. There was no cross-voting, but Winston Churchill and a few other Unionists abstained from voting. The de- bate had an artificlal character, the Gov- ernment having made the question one of confidence. ~Many opponents of the scheme voted for it and even the Govern- ment organs are inclined to express dis- satisfaction. It s understood that the scheme will be considerably modified in the subsequent stages of discussion. WILLIAM O’BRIEN’S PAPER ATTACKS IRISH SECRETARY Wyndham Called Many Names, but Nothing Is Said Against the King. DUBLIN. May 16.—The Irish People, Willlam O’Brien’s paper, contains a nine- column attack on Mr. Wyndham, the Irish Secretary, for the recent selzure of the paper because of its insulting refer- ences to King Edward. The general policy of Wyndham is also assalled. Some of the sub-heads are the following: “Fools or Assassins, or Both,” *“Better Castle Lawlessness Than Castle Cant,” and “The Meanuess of the Rascals.” “Villainy,” ‘‘Treachery,” ‘“Hyprocrisy” and “Mendacity” are frequently used In reference to Mr. Wyndham, who in con- clusicn is called a “liar, sneak and back- biter.” Nothing is said against the King. Repairing Shamrock, IT. SOUTHAMPTON, May 16.—Workmen were busy all day in repairs about the ruader of the Shamrock II, and the crew was employed in reburnishing her man- ganese bronze bottem with an acid which leaves the surface as bright and smooth as when she first entered the water. Captain Wringe of the Shamrock I in an interview with a representative of the Associated Press regarding Monday's race said that so far as he knew it was a tair test of speed. He considered that, in the form in which the challenger was then sailing, the Shamrock I could beat her in fresh winds and the big head seas, though he admits that in fine weather, when jackyards could be carried, the chalienger would probably beat his boat handscmely. Captain Wringe would not venture an opinion regarding how much the new boat may be improved by the alteration of her sails and hull, now in progress, R The Presidential edition of the News Letter contains a remarkable Republican souvenir supplement - YANKEE ENERDY ALARNIS BRITAN Ship-Builders in Fear of the Ever Increasing Competition. LIVERPOOL, May 16.—At the meeting of the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce to-day Alfred Jomes, president of the chamber, who is also the head of the firm of Elder, Dempster & Co., said: “It is much better for the Americans to buy ships here than to build them for themselves, and nobody can blame Eng- lishmen for accepting American dollars; but there is an “element of great danger in this transfer, because it means a com- bination between the American railways and sea carrying lines. ‘“We must realize that the United States intend, so far as possible, to make them- selves the manufacturers for the world. The only way in which the British ship owner may be hit will be by bounties or other preferential treatment, such as we in England cannot hope for. Neverthe- less, despite the advantages enjoyed by some of our foreign rivals, I am confident the British ship owner will be able to hold his own.” Sir Courtenay Boyle, permanent secre- tary to the Board of Trade, who also spoke, referred to the necessity of alert- ness in meeting the “competition of ener- getic, friendly but powerful rivals.” Hcnored by 01d College Mates.
