SPEECH BY SALISBURY.

THE PREMIER AT THE MANSION HOUSE. ANGLO-AMERICAN DISPUTE. HIS VIEWS ON THE EUROPEAN SITUATION. London, November 10.

The cause of complaint was against Washington statesmen, not against the Americans, because the elections had shown that these statesmen did not represent the people. Referring to the European situation, Lord Salisbury said the Great Powers were offering; every inducement to refrain from war, which, if it occurred, might result in the annihilation of a, nationality. There was great danger while live Powers maintained twelve million soldiers, and it might naturally be asked where was suspicion to end/ It was, therefore, necessary that England should be prepared for any emergency.
