A VOTE OF CENSURE.
Ifc has been arranged that Sir Edward Grey shall on Tuesday next move a Vote of Censure on the Government in conse-' quence'of tho ambiguity of the Premier's declarations to the Colonial Conference. Mr. Balfou'r attempted to obtain a specific undertaking from Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman that order would be maintained; but though this was not given, Mr. Balfour did not refuse to allow tho debate. In tho end, he appeared to be content with tho general statement that if no provocation were given, no disorder would take place. The bad results of the loss of eelf-control shown by tho Opp'osilion on Monday have been apparent all the week. The "scene" has given Mr. Balfour the excuse* to pose as the victim) of a monstrous outrage, and the cause of the "scene" — the virtual withdrawal of the pledge an regard to a General Election before the meeting of the Conference — has been partially obscured. That on Tuesday Mr. Balfour will be able at, last to make his position clear is the sincere hope of all Unionist Freetraders. '
