LATE TELEGRAMS,

LONDON, November 11th. Lord Salisbury, in a speech made at the banquet given by Nonconformist Unionists at the Holei Metropole last night, entreated tha Government not to abandon Uganda, His lordship said that if we hold our position in that quarter, Germany will adhere to here, and then It is absolutely certain that we shall kill the slave trade; otherwise, others who are not similarly minded will step in and take England's place. His Lordship then referred to the concelt and Infatuation of Gladstone in his Irish Policy, and said that the Unionists have an overwhelming majority of opinion in England. He strongly condemned the manner in which Mr. Justice Mathews was conducting the Evicted Tenants Commission.

His lordship differed from the view taken by the depetation that.oplum had proved so disastrous a drug to Indians, and he deprecated the extremely radical views that had been taken on the subject. The Indian Government, he said, saw serious practi- cal difficulties in stopping the traffic in Lower Durmah, la lar ship, in conclusion, sald he believed that alcohol in Great Britain bad proved a greater curse than opium in India.
