SPEECH BY MR CHAMBERLAIN.
By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. Per Press Association. Received 10.55 p.m. London, November 4. Mr Chamberlain, speaking at Glasgow, said patriotism bad become a democratic passion. Those who had given the colonies Home Rule expected that the colonies would soon declare their independence of the policy and suggest the desirability of clearing them out. However, the Jubilee gathering would mean the utter discomfiture of that policy, and no English minister would again suggest separation. The most satisfactory signs were the demands for closer union coming from the colonies, though the exact form in which this should be brought about was not now of so much importance. The prospect of a really united empire was becoming a question of practical politics.
