With such a country as ours, with her vast area, stretching out several tens of thousands of her immense natural resources, and her hundreds of millions of inhabitants, it only each and all of you would prove his loyalty to his Emperor and love of country what, indeed, is there to fear from any invader?

"Our Empire is now labouring under great difliculties which are becoming daily more serious. The various Powers cast upon us looks of tiger-like voracity, hustling cuch other in their endeavours to be the first to seize upon our innermost territories. They think that China, having neither nosey nor troops, would never venture to go to war with them. They fail to understand, however, that there are certain things which this Empire can never consent to, and that, if hardly pressed upon, we have no alternative but to rely upon the justice of our cause, the knowledge of witich in our custs strengthens our resolves and steels, us to present a united front against our aggressors. No one can garantee ender such circumstances who will be the victor and who the conquered in the end. But there is an evil hafit which has become almost custom amongst our Viceroys and Governors which, however, must be eradicated at all costs.

MR. CHAMBERLAIN AT LEICESTER.
A MEMORABLE SPEECH,
LONDON, November 30th. Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, Secretary of State for the Colonies, in a speech at a luncheon al Leicester to day, said that ever since the great split in the Liberal party he had found himself a mark for, slanders and misrepresentations from the baser sort of politicians, but," he added, "I have found compensation in the. generous appreciation of the majority of my Countrymen Continuing, Mr. Chamberlain said that he was deeply gratified that the foreign relations of Great Britain were satisfactory, and asserted that the country owed a debt of gratitude to Lord Salisbury, for the great improvement in Great Britain's position. It was especially gratifying he pointed out, to note the friendly relations existing between the Anglo-Saxon branches, saying, that the understanding between the United States and Great Britain was indeed a guarantee of the peace of the world. (This statement was greeted with cheers.) It was of the utmost importance, Mr. Chamberlain further remarked, that Great Britain should not remain isolated in Europe, and her natural alliance was with the great Gennan Empire.. They had had difficulties with Germany, but their interests and sentiments were the same and an understanding between the
. TEUTONIC..AND. ANGLO-SAXON RACES might do more than any combination of armies to preserve the peace of the world. The world, he asserted, was not governed entirely by interest; gentiment; was one of the greatest factors, a

The Graphic says: "The country will be glad to hear that its relations with the United States and Germany are so condial and of so close a character as to justify Mr. Chamberlain, in speaking of an understanding amounting to
A NEW TRIPLE ALLIANCE.” The Standard says: "There are no other people who have so much in common as those which have the old Saxon blood in their veins. There are few Englishmen or Americans who would not rejoice to think of Germany as associated with them in the mission of defend: ing civilisation, progress and liberty. The alliance, or, let us say the understanding, is a natural one, and would surely gratify their feci- ings as much as it would add to their security against external dangers."
The Daily Chronicle says, "Mr. Chamber-, lain's enthusiasm, like his antagonism, suffers from over-emphasis. Alliances are almost out of the question. His remarks regarding the United States, however, are distinctly happy. But the German public is in no mood for such. an alliance and Mr. Chamberlain's uncalled-for and unstatesmanlike reference to France is reprehensible,"
The Daily Telegraph says: "The future may or may not see a realisation of this new triple alliance, which would sway the destinies of the world. It is sufficient for the present that the understanding between the Govern- ments of Great Britain, the Uniled Kites and Germany is more intimate and inore likely to be than ever before. Friendship for America, cordial relations with Germany, the reconquest of the Soudan and the approaching federation of South Africa under the British flag, these are the results by which the Salisbury Cabinet has rendered as
Referring to the attacks of the foreign press, Mr. Chamberlain said that these newspapers had not even spared the almost sacred person of the Queen. This, continued the speaker, provoked natural findignation, which may have serious consequences if our neighbours It is our special, command, therefore, that do not mend their ways."
