GUILDHALL.
to Peess Association.]
LONDON, Nov. 10,
The Marquis of Salisbury, speaking at the Guildhall, said that Europe was peaceful, and that peace would last for another year. Referring to the tariff question, he declared that England was powerless to retaliate to an extravagant foreign tariff, aB her vital interests were connected with trade conducted within the Empire. Hecondemned the action of unwise theorists and silly and interested politicians in misleading • the masses with regard to the Eight Hours Bill, and also as to the dispute between labour and capital. The proposed visit of the Czarewitch to India as the guest of Her Majesty the Queen would, he thought, result in much good both to Russia and England. He justified the negotiations with Portugal respecting Eastern Africa, and said there wrb no sinister fear of hostilities arising.
