IMPORANT SPEECH BY LORD SALISBUYY.
He Eulogises the Native Indian Soldiery. By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. Per Press Association. London. November 17. Lord Salisbury, addressing a conference of the members of the Conservative Union, said the splendid example of bravery, devotion and patriotism of the Bntisli native soldiery in India and commanded the attention of Lord Elgin. In a moment of sudden danger and difficulty they bad shown great courage and resolution, and acted worthily throughout the crisis. The charge made of a breach of faith on tlie part of the British towards the tribesmen was totally unfounded. His Lordship also denied tlie] statements circulated to the effect that Great Britain had surrendered territory in Siam and Madagascar. Tho problem of the local government of London would not. be said, be solved until a large portion of the County Council’s work wa» assigned to smaller miuiicipalties. and it was likely that legislation would be introduced to remeely the difficulty. The conference passed a resolution in favor of a substantial increase in the Army, a Rov.il residence for Inland and remedial mexsun* against the foreign Sugar and Shipping Bounties.
