Conservatism at Cardiff. 4 A BIG GATHERING AT THE ROYAL HOTEL Sir Ashmead Bartlstt Delivers a Stirring Address on imperial Questions. On Wednesday evening a very successful smoking concert organised by the Conserva- tive Clubs at Cardiff was held in the large banqueting-hall of the Royal Hotel. Tht prii.eipa-1 speaker was Sir E. Ashmead Bart- lett, M.P. (late Civil Lord of the Admiralty), who had made arrangements to address a public meeting in the town. Unfortunately, on the two dates given by him the Park-hall was en-gaged, and the Conservative party thought it advisable, under the circumstances, to hold a smoking concert, at which the speeches might be interspersed with songs and recitations. Mr. Lascelies Carr occu- pied the cbair, and there were about 400 present, including, in addition to Sir Ash- mead Bart Lett, Messrs. J. E. Gunn, W. T. SvmoncLs, Charles A. J. Ward, C. Moir, H. Gibbon, and James Allan, Dr. Horder, Messrs. James Price, H. T. Box, J. Ferrier, Joe Frazer, Harry Samuel, Bridge. C. Har- ley Down, R. W. Hedley, W. C. Peace, John Moore, John Rees (Riverside)., H. B. Marquand, D. Lloyd Lougher, George Pad- field, J. H. Thatcher, R. Hughes, 1. Samuel, George David, M. Angwl, H. WhltB, E. YV al- dington, A. Winter Barnes, Dr. Treharne, Dr. Corngan, and Dr. Hughes. The Chairman, who was heartily applauded on rising, said the chief function of the evening- was enjoyment, although later on they would have some political instruction from Sir Ash- mead. Bartlett. He (the chairman) was pleased to have that opportunity of testifying his admira- tion of the public spirit Sir Ashmead Bardett had exhibited in visiting Cardiff and other places in South Wales as a kind of modern Peter the Hermit, to stir up a new crusade against the powers of darkness—the Saracenic powers of the Radical party. (Applause.) He would fulfil his obligations by simply con- ducting the meeting, and not by any words which he could say even throw into greater prominence the eloquence they would shortiy have the opportunity of listening to. (Ap- plause. ) After a couple of songs had been sung, The Chairman said it was a matter of deep regret to him that his friend and partner, Mr. Mac-lean—(applause)—was not peesent that- evening, especially after the recent municipal events, which, perhaps, Sir Ashmead Bartlett did- not understand. but which would manifest themselves at the next general election. Mr. Maclean had asked him to express his great sorrow at being unable to attend to support his old friend, Sir Ashniead'Rartlett. People in the provinces were apt to think that important personages in London could make arrangements to attend meetings at short notice. It was no omen'ty to him to drive five or six milp to attend a gathering of the description held that night-, but lit was advisable that gentlemen living in London should have more timely notice. He now called upon Sir Ashmead- Bartlett to address the meeting. SIR ASHMEAD BARTLETPS SPEECH. Sir Ashmead Bartlett received a most enthusiastic reception on rising. Opening a magnificent address, Sir Ashmead said he had to thank Mr. Can-, the chairman, for the encouraging words with which lie had been introduced to the meeting, as well as to thank the gathering itself for its warm and most agreeable reception. (Cheers.) Like Mr. Carr, he regretted very much Mr. Maclean's absence, and he could thoroughly sympathise with the cause of his valued frieud's absence, as it was no light work to tra.vel from London, even in these days of railway travelling, and to proceed at once to address a large meeting- like that. (Applause.) THE MUNICIPAL VICTORIES. Now, Mr. Can- had referred to the remark- able vi0lories at the recent municipal elec- tions at Cardiff. (Cheers.) Mr. Carr had spoken of some difficulty that he (Sir A-h. mead) might experience in apprehending the significance of the result. (Laughter.) Well, llÐ supposed 1\lr. Carr was thinking of th0\3B Radical 0ritios who always endeavoured to give political significance to every turn which events of that kind gave. But if his under- standing was dull upon such subjects he could assure Mr. Carr a.nd that audience of the fact that he was in Sheffield 011 Enday last, addressing a great gathering of his coo- stituejits, when lie was welcomed by the reassuring and encouraging intelligence that the Conservatives had won three remarkable victories at the municipal elections at Sheffield. (Loud applause.) In one ward aloin—a ward held for years, almost for gene- rations, by the Radical party—that repre- sented by Mr. Mundella—the Conservatives won by two thousand majority. (Applause.) The result was astounding, a result that the Conservatives could hardly believe when they heard it with their tars or read it with t-neir eyes on the following morning. (Cheers.) He congratulated the electors of Cardiff, therefore, upon the decisive victories just obtained in the great commercial Metropolis of Wales. (Applause.) Those victories might appear, perhaps, due to circumstances local and passing, which an outsider might be ignorant of, but when they found that throughout the length and breadth of England and Wales the. Con- servative party had gained no less than 69 seats, whereas the Radicals only gained 26 seats, the coi elusion to be arrived at was a just and un- mistakable one. (Continued applause.) Those victories represented a great COnSeTyative re- action, and ho hoped it would bear good fruit at the next election :n the important town of Cardiff, just as he wa.s confident it would bear good fruit throughout England. (Cheers.) THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK. Sir Aslimead-Bartlett proceeded to state that he had been invited to address a great meet- ing at Cardiff at the close of August, and nothing would have given him greater pleasure could he have accepted that invitation, but other engagements prevented him. But he told Mr. Waddington, the excellent representative of the cause at Cardiff, that he would come to Cardiff at the earliest possible moment. (Cheers.) The next day, Sir Ashmead added, he would have an opportunity of opening a Conservative club and addressing a mass meeting at Merthyr, and it gave him great pleasure to coma to Cardiff to address a meeting that night. (Cheers.) He fixed as the subject of his address the Imperial and foreign relations of Great Britain. (Hear, hear.) He did so for two reasons. First, because they had of late assumed an activity, an impor- tance, he might almost say a phase of anxiety, to which this country had, fortunately, been a stranger for the last eight years. In the second place, he chose that subject because he thought- and in this he was, no doubt, open to severe criticism from their opponents—he thought they had been somewhat passed over during the last session of Parliament. If they cast their eves back for the last fourteen years they would find that when Lord Beaconsfield—(applause)—• went out of office in 1880 he had successfully tided over, by courage; foresight, and the highest attributes of statesmanship, some of the most difficult crises with which this country had been menaced for many years. (Hear, hear.) He had brought them through those crises with honour and with peace. (Applause.) The main difficulties with which he had to contend were difficulties not so much abroad as difficulties at home. He was ham- pered at every step by the attacks and opposition of the leaders of the party who were his rivals in the his enemies, and our enemies in South Africa, India. Egypt, the Soudan, and in the East of Europe were in every case encouraged to the uttermost by the Radical party and its leaders. (Hear, hear.) They. in every case, took the side 01 those who were our rivals, if not our foes. They in every ea-se encouraged the parties, the nations, and the Governments who were infringinsr upon the rights, the commerce, and the influence of Great Britain abroad. He reminded them of this, because it was possible that their opponents might say that in the address he was now making he was attacking the Government of the day. He did not sup- port the enemies of tbiis country aoroad- (Ap- plause." If the Government of the day—if Lord Rosebery and his colleagues would show themselves determined to upheld the interests and honour of England abroad, they would find no more earnest supporter in and out of Parlia- ment than the humble individual who was now :J{Hre31>iing- them-(l0ud a,.np!ause)-upon, of course, foreign and Imperial .questions for he h1'l kh confessed th:1,t he detested the;1' home policy. But. still, much a.s he detested it, lie would give them his support on foreign and Imperial questions if he was satisfied that. they were g-e!111ineh- jntenclpd and really acted in a way to support the great interests of England i broad. (Hear, hear.) Lord Beaconsfield fell, and they had five years of Gladstone adminis- tration. CONTRASTING- BEACONSFIELD AND GLADSTONE. Those years were so sad in their results, so ¡ humiliating, so full of disturbance and bloocbhed and shame, that towards their close even the Radical party gave up the attempt to defend "heir leaders. They used to say, "We admit :he Conservatives know better how to deal with xreign and Imperial questions, but we are the iien for domestic policy." He need not remind :hem of the dark and dishonouring memories associated with Kilmaanham, Ma-juba-, Candahar. ind Khartoum, and with the betrayal of Gordon, rime, he said, woulo not permit him to refer DO what he again called those dark and humi- liatin-y days, which were still fresh in their recollection, of how the Liberal party scuttled from office in 1885 in order to escape the "Nemesis of almost inextricable troubles in J which they had involved their country abroad. (Applause.) LORD SALISBURY- Lord Salisbury came in—(applause)—at first with a minority in the House oi Commons, and that wa.s his first administration. which lasted six months, but in that short six months he succeeded in re-establishing the honour and position of England amongst the nations of the earth. (Applause.) Then there arose the I great question of the union, with which he did not purpose to deal that night. He came in with a large majority in 1886, and held ofiice for six years, and during that period (he chal- lenged contradiction) our Imperial and foreign affairs were never (Seriously disturbed. (Applause.) There was hardly a ripple upon •Aor[od s4Xinqsi{i!g piol JC aoupus lltooms 81n With regard to foreign policy, he never apolo- gised., or retreated, or sacrificed our commerce and power, or made a surrender-now to the Boers, now to the Mahdi. now to the French, now to the Russians. Lord Salisbury was recognised throughout the world as "the strong man armed" that kept the Imperial house of Britain in safety. Lord Salisbury was defeated in 1892, and he was succeeded by a Gladstonian Government once more, and it was with the doings of that Radical Government, first led by Mr. Gladstone, and now led by Lord Rosebery, he proposed to deal with- In the nrst place, whatever the cause might be. or whatever the view that might be taken by their opponents of each distinct tran- saction, there was no doubt whatever that there were clouds everywhere abroad-clond8 in Western Africa, in Central and in South Africa, clouds in the Far East in Eastern Asia. clouds in Madagascar, clouds with regard to the Nile waterway, which, perhaps, might even affect Egypt itself. MR. GLADSTONE AND TROUBLE ABROAD. Every day there came some fresh rumour of trouble. Things had not yet come to a head, but they were moving in the direction of danger, and the people were justified in asking them- selves whether the policy, or want of policy, on the part of the present Government was not responsible for much of the trouble that was impending. The moment he was satisfied that in any detail of policy the Government were endeavouring to do their duty to their country, to their Imperial interests, and to their treaties, and the faith they owed to their friends and allies abroad, then he would cease to criticise thi 111. Nay, he would support them (Cheers.) He would not remind them in the great town of Cardiff of the vital impor- tance of their Imperial interests and their Imperial commerce. He believed Cardiff was the third among the ports of the United Kingdom. (Hear, hear.) Its growth of late years had been phenomenal, and, what- ever others might think who lived in the interior and never saw ships, the inhabitants of Cardiff would understand what Imperial commerce and Imperial strength meant to this country. Therefore, he need not go into detail on this question. He would, however, remind them that the commerce of this country which crossed the ocean annually amounted to 970 millions of tons. The merchant shipping amounted to 12,480,000 tons. The population of Great Britain's colrmies and dependencies was 340 million souls, and the British Empire included an area of 11,300,000 square miles. The French commerce annually was valued at 277 million pounds and the Russian commerce 55 millions. The French tonnage in shipping wad 1,050,000 tons and the Russian 481,000 tons. The French Empire abroad only num- bered 30,500,000 people and the Russian only 17,580,000. The area, of the French colonies and dependencies was 3,060,000 and of the Russian, 6,500,000 square miles. In the ca,3e of Russia the area was nominal, because on the Caspian and the great portion of the Northern the land was practically barren. He admitted that he had a considerable pre- dilection ;n favour of Lord Derby's Imperial instincts, and hoped -Iiat the old Gladstonian I Sir E. ASHMEAD BARTLETT. I policy of retreat had been abandoned for ever. (Cheers.) But he bad changed his opinions of Lord Roseberv. (Hear, hear.) THE SIAMESE SURRENDER. lIT, the summer of 1893 there was serious trcuble threatening with regard to Siam, in Eastern Asia, bordering on our grreat Indian Empire, five-sixths of the irade of which was carried by British ships. They were aware that Siam was threatened by France. There were rumours of alarm and dangers, but the people of the country were kept in darkness as to the fact, for nearly twelve months. (" Shame.) In August of this year, hew- ever, the Siamese Blue Book was published by the Government, showing the negotiations and relations between Great Britain :],11([ France with regard to Siam during the previous year. He (Sir Ashmead) confessed lie never read a more humdiating story than was contained in 9tiat Blue Book. It showed a constant policy of retreat on the part of the British Govern- neeDt and encroachment- OIl the part of the French, and French encroachment grew in the same proportion as British retreat. (Applause.) He maintained, from the Government returns r the Blue Book, that the present Radical Ministry was weak when it should have been firm—that the British Government abandoned Siam when it shodd have been strong, and that throughout the negotiations the conduct of the Government was marked by extra- ordinary vacillation and want of courage in dealing with whast were clearly British inte- rests. (Applause.) Lord Rosebery had an opportunity of fixJmg- British territory a point beyond what it previously occupied, but, instead of this, French encroachment had gone on and British interests retreated, until in the end 600 square miles had been taken from Siam and a heavy fine imposed upon the country. ("Shame.") At the present moment Siam and a heavy fine imposed upon the country. ("Shame.") At the present moment Siam was reduced to a position of almost com- pi etc. vassalage to France. (" Shame. ") It. was hoped the Government would have received in return some concessions in satisfaction for the territory which Great Britain had thus been deprived of. But no; the encroachments of the French upon Siam had encouraged them to make encroachments in other directions, and other important British interests were threatened. FRANCE ON THE CONGO. Our trade had been largely cut off, and one or two very painful incidents had occurred. At Weimar, on the borders of Sierra Leone, in December, 1895, an attack was made by a French force upon the British force while it was on British territory. There was no practi- cal doubt arbout its being British territory, though the excuse was offered that it was some- what in question. Three gallant British otlicers lost their lives on that occasion. ("Shame, ) He was willing to admit that the attack might have been made by mistake. That did not justify the fact. ttiat no reparation, no apology even, had been offered by the French Government for that unfortunate, untoward, and grievous event. 'C' Six British police were shot down in cold blood —they were. natives, but in British uniform—in the same district. No apology, so far as they knew, had been offered for that. These were not things to go to war about he fully confessed, and he, for one, should not wish this country to go to war about. Did they think it possible that eleven long months would be passed by. since the affair at Weimar if Lord Beaconsfield or Lord Palmerstou had been Prime Minister without satisfactory reparation? ("No, and applause.) Tiio.se were incidents—accidents, if they liked-bue accidents for which one great Power always immediately made apology, it not reparation, to its neighbour. There was an incident iiappened on the Franco-German fron- tier not long ago. The Germans were fully pre- pared for war, and powerful to a degree. They felt they were in the wrong—their officers were in the wrong-and they immediately offered full reparation and apology to the Government of France. Now lie came to a more serious question, the advance of the French across Central Africa towards the upper regions of the Con go and the Nile waterway. If anyone had said three years ago that the French, who were then in Western Africa, would cross these vast, savage, and unknown districts of Central Africa and threaten the Nile waterway—the Upper Nile waterway—from the west, euch a person would have been laughed at. (Hear, hear.) They would have been told that they were talking of old wives's fables or old women's fears, as they used to be told by Mr. Glad- stone and Mr. Mundella, when they said the Russians were advancing towards Afghanistan and India, but within the last two years the I French forces had covered hundreds of miles, having practically subjugated the whole of Central Africa. They would not grudge the French their success, but of..late tb&y 1 approaching the Upper Nile. Now, he wanted to point out the importance of the Upper Nile. Sir Samuel Baker, who had a IllO.t re- markable knowledge—as a great explorer, geographer, and governor of those regions, of all tha.t part of that country—Sir Samuel Baker left it as his deliberate opinion that any European, Power that held control of the Upper Nile--lie meant the Nile that flowed through the Soudan—could hold Egypt at its mercy by the threat to divert the waters of the Nile. it iiot cult for a European Power, with the resources of European engineering, to divert the main channel of the Nile in such a way as to reduce Egypt to the condition of an arid desert. That was the importance of the Upper Nile water- way. They were in occupation, and respon- sible for the good government of Egypt, and they also intended that their influence should be predominant there and in the Suez Canal. Therefore, it was of vital importance to this country to prevent the French or- any other European Power from obtaining control of the Nile waterway. For fifteen or eighteen months the present Radical Government seemed obli- vious to the great advance the French Army were making towards the Upper Congo and the Western Basin of the Nile. At length, after Sir G. Portal's report, they woke up a little, and Lord Rosebery and Lord Kimberley decided (although with great reluctance) to annex Uganda. Let them. count that to them. for righteousness. The annexation of Uganda was an important and valuable step, and he gave credit to the Government for what they had done in that direction. Uganda, if pro- perly used., was the key of the whole position in that part. of the world. The French, however, still continue to, advance, and the present Government showed some slight appreciation of the danger. They resorted to artific to meet it. By a very characteristic Radical artifice they tried to get another Power to do what they ought to have done themselves. (Applause.) They thought it would be fine policy to push the little Congo Free State (which was the result of Belgian enterprise and courage) up between the advancing Frenc-li force and the Nile waterway. Though not a dignified or manly, that was a policy, and it. was always a satis- faction to know that a Radical Government had any foreign policy at all. (A laugh.) Well, what happened? Very little attention had been called to the event, which, he said, without the slightest hesitation was the most humilitating affront that had been offered to this country during the present century. Within two days of the Anglo-Congo treaty the French Foreign Minister declined to accept it. and it became null and void. He had never heard of such a. thing before, and he hoped he never would again. But words were words, and we should not care about a treaty being declared null and void so long as it was maintanned. But, the French within three months compelled the King af the Belgians to make a, treaty by which he agreed to withdraw from almost the country in which Lord Rosebery had placed him. There was nothing practically to intervene between the French forces in Central Africa and the main waterway of the White Nile. If the Government gave Colonel Colville sufficient power to take, possession of the Nile basin Great Britain's interests might yet be protected, but he did not know that they were going to do that. If not, they would be undertaking a great responsibility, both towards Egypt and British interests in Egypt, and South Africa generally. (Cheers.) There was a Nemesis in the affairs of Governments as in the affairs of individuals- The gravest of all Mr. Glad- stone's surrenders was the abandonment of the Soudan and the betrayal of General Gordon. (Cheers.) What human misery, what a loss of human life, could have been averted if, eleven years ago, Mr. Gladstone had only the courage and promptitude to deal with the Soudan in time— if he had or.ly begun in time, and not ended too soon. Now, when the same party was in power there was great danger of international trouble. The same thing had occurred m the Transvaal. One of the questions causing ^the greatest alarm to the Government was their want of courage thirteen years ago. MADAGASCAR AND SOUTH AFRICA. He would now pass from the Upper Congo and the Nile waterway, and refer to the ques- tion of Madagascar, one of the largest islands in the world, and an island of great natural wealth, and great and important "strategical 1)asition. Madagascar commanded the flank of our great Eastern commerce which pas-ed through the Suez Canal, and in the pathway of every British ship which passed round the Cape to the East. Years ago, when the great Napoleon planned an attack upon British terri- tory in the Fast, Madagascar was one of the first of the possessions which he contemplated. and now the French were encleayouring- to establish themselves in this important portion of British interests, although Lord Roseberv had stated, m connection with the "scare" Cabinet, that Madagascar had hardly been mentioned for two years. Well, he (Sir Ash- mead) felt the "ormer the question of Madagas- e'1r was considered by the, British Cabinet the better for the security of British interests. (Applause.) The right hon- gentleman pro- ceeded to refer to the position of Great Britain in South Africa. In the Transvaal they had a large number of British subjects, men of in- dustry who had raised the Transvaal from a position of bankruptcy to one of the best commercial countries in the world. (Cheers.) The British residents of the Transvaal paid five-sixths of the taxation of the country, the degree of prosperity in this respect being such that the Boers had in their possession a large surplus, which might have been British money had it not been for the attitude taken up by Mr. Gladstone. In 1877 the Boers in the Transvaal were in a desperate position, for they were threatened with invasion by Cetewavo and his legions. The Boers appealed to Great Britain, and, through the interference of the British, peace and security were restored to that country. Then, however, the Boers waxed fat, and they kicked against British law to such an extent that the position of the British subjects in the Transvaal became intolerable. Just after Mr. Gladstone came into office a deputation of British subjects came over and asked for those concessions of independence which had been promised to them. But Mr. Gladstone gave an evasive answer, as usual. They knew what followed that. Our gallant Colonists, who defended Pretoria alone, without the assistance of soldiers, against long odds, who held out for months in Pretoria and other towns-held out in the sure confidence that England would never betray their children, would come to their relief—they were abandoned to their fate. Our native allies—chieftains who, at great risk to themselves, had brought their forces to help us, and had incurred the animosity of the Boers —were also abandoned. Many of the Dutch citizens, who knew the advantages of British government, remained faithful, and they were abandoned and ruined. Our officers and citizens were murdered in cold blood, and we suffered such a degradation that the British name had never suffered before. ("Shame.") Then came the discovery of the Randt gold mines, and immense masses of Englishmen, Germans, and other nationalities poured into the Transvaal to develop its mining industries. They had made the prosperity of the Transvaal, paid its taxes, and yet they were denied every constitutional right. The Boers had passed a law forbidding any" outdoor public meeting what- ever and any indoor public meeting numbering more than five persons. Any Boer policeman had a right under this law to go in and order the meeting to disperse, and if they declined to shoot them down. (Laughter and" Shame.") The natives were practically denied human rights, and were treated with the utmost cruelty. THE POSITION OF SWAZILAND. Coming next to the SwazLs, who lived on tiie borders ot the Transvaai, and whom he ut- scribed as a manly and gallant race, he said these people had been the allies of England m their campaigns, and they were bound to uc; by every consideration oi Honour and gratitude. A deputation from the Swazis had just come to this country to lay their case before the Govern- ment. What was their claim? The position of Swaziland was highly important, strategi- cally, because the Boers were anxious to get to Delagoa Bay to cross hands with the French in Madagascar, where they might be a source of trouble to the interests of this country ai South Africa. To allow the Boers to do this would be, in his opinion, an exceedingly bad and. dangerous policy. (Applause.) The Swazi people had direct claims upon this country. When Cetewayo threatened Natal with inva- sion, and the English Government appealed to the Swazis for support, the Swazi King, although rehttpd by bluod to Cete- wayo, .sent 2,000 men to helpt Sir Evelyn Wood. The Swazis fought most gallantly, and after the war Sir Evelyn Wood, on behalf of the British Government, publicly thanked the Swazis for the assistance they had given, and promised that their independence should be maintained. The speaker then related, the many occasions on which tlie Swazis had assisted this coun- try. After the Boer vVar they could not understand our surrender, and Sir Evelyn Wood was sent to the Swazi King to ex plain it in order to prevent him a,nd his followers attacking the Boers themselves. Sir Evelyn Wood promised them for The third time their independence, and now, in spite of a solemn treaty, the British Government were doing their best to hand over the Swazis to the Boers. ("Shamt3") He had expected two of the Swazi chiefs at the meeting that night, but Lord Ripon had re- quested them to make no public statement until he had given them his final answer. (Laughter.) This country owed it to those people that they should not be handed' over to the domination and oppression of the Boers. They wished to. come under British protection. That- might be impossible—at any rate, it required a good deal of considera- tion but this country was bound to do all in its power to save them from their oppres- sors. They were quite capable of dealing with their own affairs, and unless they came under British protection all they required was to be left alone. They knew what the fate of their black brethren in the Transvaal had been, and had come over to this country to plead their case as best they could, and espe- cially to ask that they should not be handed over to the cruel tyranny of people they detested. (Applause,) There never was a clearer case than that of the Swa,zis; it was so clear that it could nor be argued on the other side. It had to be dealt with. and no side- shifting or evasion of the real issue would be allowed. The old oath of a, Mussulman was "By the beard of the Prophet," but during the Crimean War it was altered to "By the word of an Englishman." What would be said in South Africa, however, if these Swazie ambas- sadors went- back, and said, "The English Government has broken its word, and ns ready to betray us to our foes." This was a very grave matter, and struck at the root of the situation. PEACE-AT-ANY-PRICE PARTY. England would stand by her representatives,by her subjects, and by her traditions, and stand at the back of the English Ministry in protect- ing British interests in India, whose people had confidence- in the belief that behind them was the strength of the British Government- and the united resources of the British Empire. (Ap- plause.) He (Sir Ashmead Bartlett) might be told that this speech was a bellicose and war- like one, and calculated to an incitement to trouble abroad. There was, however, great dif- ference between his viewB-and those who held the same views as himself—and those of the Gladstoniaa and peace-ab-o,ny-price party. (Laughter and applause.) The Gladstonian party saId they were in favour of peace. Peace might be on their lips, but war was in- viariably the consequence of their policy. (Cheers.) It was foresight, courage, and true statesmanship which averted war. (Applause.) When the Emperor Nicholas 1. of Russia, the grandfather of the Czar who had just died, lay on his deathbed—dying from chagrin owing to the defeat of his armies—he sa.id if he had knewn that Great Britain intended fighting for Turkey he would never have gone to war at all. (Cheers.) It v as because Mr. Gladstone and his colleagues would not say plainly what their intentions were that the Emperor Nicholas was tempted to go to war, a struggle which had cost one hundred millions of money and many thousands of precious lives. This was the case on this occasion, and this would be the case always when the British ran away from their rivals and foes. (Applause.) The French people, it was said—it was was also said of the Irish—but of the French it was said that they were the first people in the world to run away. (Laughter.) They were encouraged to make fresh demands and fresh encroachments until, at last, the encroachments and demands became so unsupportable that there was nothing left but war. So that he contended that a peace-at-any-pnce-party policy was always the forerunner of war. (Applause.) Lord Beaconsfield saved Constantinople from the H lls8Ùms without shedding a single life, and he rescued from Russia the greater part of what she expected to get from that tremen- dous struggle. (Applause.) This was the lesson which he (the speaker) would most earnHtly impress upon his hearers. Lord Rose- bery at Sheffield the other night made a speech which contained the true accents of British statesmanship. Ho spoke of maintaining the honour of England, and denounced the vacilla- tion of the little Englanders. But Lord Rose- bery had yet to demonstrate bis positicn as a British statesman. (Cheers.) The late Lord Beaconsfield had been described as a Jingo, but he maintained that Lord Beacons- field was a real Imperialist, who had the honour and integrity of the country at heart. (Ap- plause.) Let Lord Rosebery beware, 11OW8yer. lest he go down to history as a sham Jingo. (Loud cheers.) Was it not, he added, a fact that Lord Beaconsfield had been falsely called a bastard Imperialist? He (Sir Ash- mead) for one, and the party to which he had the honour to belong—(cheers)—would support Lord Rosebery in his foreign policy if he would prove to the country that he was determined to uphold the, honour and the credit and the prove to the country that he was determined to uphold the honour and the credit and the flag of the nation at home and abroad. (Cheers.) But it must be a policy of deeds, and not, of wordc. and a policy of firmness and statesman- like determination. (Loud applause.) It must not lie a bastard Imperialism, which, while it indulged in high-flowing and magniloquent lan- guage at home, abandoned our countrymen, the rights and the lilierties of our countrymen abroad, to their oppressors, and hot raved our native friciids. and alliw to their bitterest enemies. (Loud and prolonged cheers.) VOTE OF THANKS TO SIR E. ASHMEAD BARTLETT- Dr. Treharne said after the hard work they had gone through last week he certainly felt somewhat in sympathy with the Liberal party —stale and unprofitable, and hardly in a fit position to make a speech. He regretted he hail not been able to hear Sir E. Ashmead- Baitlett's speech. He had always taken great interest in reading his excellent opinions on foreign politics, and lie was in entire agree- ment with them. It would hardly be becoming on this occasion, the first time they met to- gether after the glorious performance of last week—(applause)—if Tie did not allude for a moment or two to the great triumph thev secured at the polls in the municipal fights on Thursday lai,t He did not intend to make political capital out of what was. after all. a determined effoit, he believed, of many of the electors of Cardiff to really eschew Imperial questions in the consideration of the great municipal affairs that they had to deal with. That had. been true on the Conservative, side, and he was pleased to think that a large, number of Liberals had severed themselves from their own party because they objected to the methods being adopted in dealing with these municipal questions. It seemed to him that the policy of the municipal party was that they tried to obscure the issues before the electors in the same way that the official Liberal party did in Imperial questions. Their policy was the same- locally and Imperially—to becloud the eyes of the public, and get a verdict without consulting fairly and squarely the public of this country. After the magnificent fights that bad been fought, it was most encouraging to them to hope that, as many Liberals had severed them- selves and seen lie folly of the attitude of their party in municipal matters, they might also look and see the same thing in regard to Imperial questions. (Hear, hear.) In conclu- sion, he proposed a vote of thanks to Sir E. Ashmead Bartlett for his kindness in coming to Cardiff and giving them the excellent address which they had listened to. (Loud c11PPTS,) The Chairman then called upon Mr. George Da,vid to second the proposal, referring to him as "the Roath chicken." Mr. George David, in seconding the motion, said he thought. the chairman had made a slight, mistake, because he was not known as "the Roath chicken" amongst the Radical elec- tors, but as the "pet hmb." (Loud laughter.) It seemed to him that the one great result of the recent election in Cardiff had been to show that amongst the vast majority of the electors of this great town the policy espoused by the Conservative party had their active sympathy and support. (Applause.) Sir Ashmead Bartlett in his able a.nd intellec- tual address raised a noble protest against the honour of England being dragged in the mire. They must be convinced that the African nations to which he had referred had. by treaty and promise, been led to believe that they would have the moral and material support of the British Empire. The vote was then passed by acclamation, and cheers were given for Sir Ashmea.d Bartlett, Lord Salisbury, a.nd Mr. Balfour. SIR ASHMEAD'S REPLY. Sir Ashmead Bartlett, replying, stated that the results of the municipal elections was signi- ficant of a great- Parliamentary victory a.t the nest election. (Cheers.) Apart from his desire to see the party to which he had been attached all his life proceed in the great, town of Cardiff, he had a. special interest in the con- test arising from the nature of the subjects to which he had devoted his address that night. Tt was to questions of that kind that Mr. Mac- lean, when in Parliament, devoted his great ability. (Cheers.) As they all knew, Mr. Maclean had especial knowledge, from personal experience as well as study, in regard to some of the most grave and important- Imperial pro- blems that concerned this country and its great dominion abroad. Mr. Maclean, when in the House of Commons, was always listened to with great respect and deep interest, and he never made a speech in which he did not increase the information and broaden the views of that Imperial Assembly. (Cheers.) Therefore, he (Sir Ashmead) eaid with confidence that if Mr. Maclean were returned for Cardiff at the next election he would do credit to the town, and give an impulse to the Conservative cause throughout the country. They had in Cardiff many good supporters, including his friend the chairman. He would mot propose, the health of Mr. Carr, because that would be the duty of someone else. but hcJ would like to say one or two words with respect to him. Mr. Carr represented in South Wales one of the most modem, but. at the same time. one of the greatest, of existing forces of power—the power of the press. (Cheers.) Not only did Mr. Carr represent th8 power of the Conservative press, but had also proved himself on many occasions a capable platform speaker. (Cheers.).. The English press was the glory of the press of the world Perhaps many of those present were not aware from personal experience of the svperiority of the English press over the press of other nations. Not only Was it superior m its style, Ja; the size of the papers, and in the quality and readability of its news, but in J ita moral qualities. (Hear, hear.) Taking it as a whole, the press of England was in-, corruptible; long- might it remain so. (Cheers.) In his address he had referred to efforts which were being made by interested persons, with the use of eold to keen the facts relating to South Africa and the Swazis in particular from the people of this country. It was to the press of EnsfLa^d—the free and incorruptible press of Engl and-th art our countrymen in South Africa, and the native races there looked for protection. There was implanted in the national character of Eng- lishmen a sacred love of liberty. There had been some slight difference of opinion whether the results of the municipal elec- tions in Cardiff and elsewhere were due to a. great change in political opinion or to local i«sues. He would tell them where those opinions converged. At the present- moment there was a reaction among the people of this country—Imperial!, political, municipal, social, and private-—in favour of individual liherty. f ) The- heart of Englamdi J.

The time would come when all he had said would be vindicated- (Cheers.) VOTE Or' THANKS TO THE CHAIRM AN. Councillor Henry White proposed a vote of thanks to .Mr. Lascelles Carr for presiding, and in doing so said this was practically the first public occrision upon which they had been able to express their deep and sincere regret that, owing' to 'his precarious health, Mr. Carr for some time had not been able to be amongst them. Thtjy congratulated him that he was with them once more, to create enthusiasm in their midst. (Hear, hear.)

Councillor R. Hughes having supported the proposition, the motion was carried, with ring- ing cheers for Mr. Cair. In response, the Chairman expressed the plea- sure it had', given him to be present. He thankerl those gentlemen who had entertained them during the evening by their admirable perfor- mances and those who would have done so had time served. He hoped that they might have in early repetition of that meeting, and, if they jould not £ et Sir Ashmead Bartlett down, then they would indulge in a feast of leason and a [low of soul. (Applause.)

Hen.fcii aud Sous, Queen-street, Cardiff, pianoforte makers, organ builders, aud music ware. housemen, have collected au imposing array of testi- monials and Press opinions relating1 to the quality of the musical instruments supplied by them. The firm is so well known iu Cardi/J and, indeed, throughout Sonth Wales and the Wost of England that it is hardly necessary here tu well upon its influence and commanding posi tion. Tliis collection of testimonials serves, however, to do something more thau certify to the excellence of the instruments furnished by Messrs. Heath and Soup.. It shows, in a sense how steady is the growth among- the general public of a desire for a knowledge ot music, ami. liow increasingly numerous, even in the homes of the workine cmsses are mauos. orsrans. an- harmoniums. The srreat niajoritr of the letters in this list relate to pianos ana while mxmv ot thpru have reference to most costlv instruments conthininsr 0,11 the latest improve- ments. supplied to the well to-do, the greater num- ber rel,c,itea- to serviceable instruments purchased for the homes of the wsuTe-earinn^ portion of the community. This g-ro wins'love for so refining an art as music is a most favourable sign. For though iu the PrJllcipnJity Juusic has for generations been the chief recreation of the people, it has for the mos; part been choral musio in connection with churches and chapels that has occupied attention. Instru- mental music IS now, however, feceivintc it.s fair share of attention, and all those in true sympathy with the art must trust that the movement will go steadily onward. These testimonials have been re. ecived from every quarter of the Principality, while not a few come from other portions of the United Kingdom, and some from South America, India, and other distant, countries. All suear, most favourable of Messrs. Heath's business methods as well as of heir instruments. R. J. B"517"1 AND S0^ INVITE INSPECTION. t'FLL TjUSTRATED LISTS AND VERiiICT POST PRES.
