the date data and bowed there were cheers from abe be guests mr bayard responded to the toast the ambassador Emba Budoi 13 in the following term 1 I am honored in being chosen to speak for the corps of which I 1 am a humble member I 1 confess that until thil abia evening I 1 did not expect to be asked to respond to a toast however I 1 have obtained an idea from a distinguished diplomat elrd Duffe who recently said that the gove governments of the world was waa a mass of palpitating tating nervous sona tione bione the result be said raid of bringing together gelber to these sensations was to destroy isolation splendid or otherwise and to induce latious to tool fusel and act aa joules and gentlemen with consideration for each others other 18 feelings and interests the people I 1 represent have maue mae a declaration in no narrow sense and in no local or merely national sense which stands as ae a verdict and a declaration ot of honor bonor you cannot today shook book civilization even on its ita exterior bobu darles without effecting eting its heart this enables me to speak not for myself or my country but for the whole diplomatic corps corpe too toe world is ie one who does doe not dot perceive it does not realize tie ene truth and force of the day in which we live alve 00 mr bayard concluded with the god speed the city of lou loo don 21 mr bayardo Bay ardd remarks were received wita a tumult of applause alter after mr bayard had bad concluded the lord mayor proposed the ministry upon which lord salisbury rose amid loud cheers which quickly subsided into breathless silence and close attention to the he annual guildhall speech of the prime manister mJ nister which to ie by common acceptation looked to to embody the official announcement of the governments policy to the nation lord salisbury sala aiu 1 I thank mr byard bayard for his presence here tonight and lor for his bis joint ug in this historic meeting by the few words be has hae uttered lie he has baa reached his bib own plane of observation so BO nigh high above the more mere level of party pany that bough nough contrary to our policy to make json on the internal politics ot of other stater I 1 may be permitted with out ul impertinence to congratulate him upon this spit splendid lid id aronou 11 cement which the veit people he represents pave nave made in behalf of the principles which lie at the basis of all human so go it is rather like pathos to turn from that matter 13 the not very improving controversy which his bis country anti aaa ours have had during the be recent mouths months with only the be purpose of expressing my belief that the controversy is at an end cheers it to is often surprising by what very obvious arrangements our great difficulties ou atlea are solved and in the continent which columbus discovered we he traditions of columbus and the egg should be reversed in the discussion we have had bad with the united states on behalf of their friends in venezuela the question has ban not been whether there should be arbitration but whether the arbitration should have unrestricted application we have always claimed respecting those who apart from historic right had the right which attaches to settled establishment that the settled districts should be excluded from arbitration our difficulty for many months has been to nod find how to define the settled districts and the solution lution ao has come I 1 think from the country mr bayard represents with the suggestion that we should treat the colonial empire just as we treat individuals vidu vi alo that the he tame lapse of f time which prote protects individuals 1 in civic ilife its irom from having their heir title questioned should also protect the colony rom arom having its title questioned and where that lapse of time could not be claimed though there should be an examination of the title yet ai all I 1 that equity demanded in consideration ot such title should be granted it is a very simple solution and I 1 believe it is not using unduly sanguine words when I 1 say eay that I 1 believe it haar brought the controversy to ao an end it la Is a matter of no small satis fae tion lon to the government at a time when when anxious social questions lous which wiloh are ot of far more importance than political questions are troubling them and aad therefore troubling the rest real of the world that we should remove from the board at all event any semblance of political difference which might hinder cur common action in defense of the common heritage of society we have bad an anxious year in the foreign office but we have floated into a period of comparative calm unfortunately one matter has hag not passed by that la Is the troubles in turkey ap continuing lord salisbury said that he be believed that abat the people of at great britain were now virtually unanimous against at isolated action than which a worse course could not be adopted to benefit the armenians Armen ians if it was wan mere ly wishing to pursue a course to punish or worry the turkish government grem britain bad abundant means of doing 80 but it if they had bad a higher to rescue the christian and moslem people from atrocious misgovernment misgovern deot they must seek to draw into co oo opera tion as many nations of we the world to pos possible ethle if it was desired to use aw force in turkey the A flet would not suffice military occupation alone would not be effective and the latter would be ft a large undertaking he would not pre tend end to say what great britain might do in case she exhausted alt all her forces but if they wished a military tion lion requiring a very large army areat britain must begin by establishing a conscription great britain could not use me ft a great army if she did not have one fuere tore said the he prime minister he hailed balled with great satisfaction the that public opinion bad been aroused by the horrors of which the turkish government had been guilty yet he recognized that t is ie mo most a t fitting inspru went ment of reforms was fact fin an army to in an island 2000 miles off it might be done by others therefore this the only wise course he be saw was an adherence to we the european concert lit it the european states were willing to act they nad had means of action whlor great britain did not possess if they were unwilling to act and it they objected to isolated action by britain there was not only great risk or falling failing in the undertaking but the risk of baingi bringing ag about the frightful bor bors of a european war he denied that hat they hey were acting from self delfin tish interests tn in not interfering actively in a turkey they were trustees of the interests of vast populations and they would be deeply culpable it if those Int interest eresto were neglected A general european war might involve territorial changes vitally affecting we the nations ot europe you cannot expect those nations Pl lord salisbury proceeded to say bay to regard the problem in the same mo and philanthropic as you IQ in your plat splendid isolation you may son con older ider dilatory but you must con res fees that they have good motives for prudence pru Jenoe we have been told by and mr morley leaders that we might influence the powers power to our way of thinking by abandoning egypt and cyprus that Is a pretty and almost idyllic conception of international nat iopal policy but I 1 do vot oot believe in it and I 1 way may say bay lord salisbury added in convection with the eastern problem that we see no cause to abandon the policy hitherto aliberto bli berto pursued ur or to relinquish a single acre of the land we now occupy having warmly eulogized the work of sir herbert kitchener the sirdar of the egyptian forces and lord cro nier mer the british agent in connection with the soudan boudan expedition lord salisbury Ball abury said that be could root not bay any more than that the concert of europe teemed seemed to be more real than ever before howes hewak very much pleated with the eloquent elc quent speech ot of id Hano the french minister of foreign affairs outlining the he requirements which the powers would insist upon from the sultan he believed he said that ff prance would do nothing to bt bi file european action lord Salis burys le remarks contained only a guarded reference to the me dip closures made by prince bismarck Bie marck through his newspaper organ of a secret treaty between germany and which existed prior to 1890 the premier alluded to prince bismarck as the greatest statesman sta teeman which the latter part ot of the century had bad produced he demurred absolutely to the presumption of the existence of a permanent and tiec necessary essary antagonism between russia and great britain or of this presumption lord salisbury said that Is a superstition of antiquated diplomacy I 1 have good ground to believe that russia entertains the same views and pursues the same object as ourselves concerning the terrible events in the east washington nov 10 arbitration ot 01 the venezuelan dispute la a a 0 settled jact fact all arrangements arrange meme have been
