Britain Cannot Interfere With the National Development of the Colonies -- There Must be Slow Progress and a Con- stant Conservation of Energy. London, May 8.~In his address to the great demonstration of the Prim- rose league at the Albert hall yester: day, the marquis of Salishury said that when the present conflict was over all that could be done would be done to mould their present oppon- ents into a portion of the empire which had conferred so many bless ings on the human race. ord Salisbury then touched on the question of imperial federation, e exhorted those who were anxious to secure that end carefully to consider the steps they were going to take and the results which they expected. They could not interfere with the national development of their colonies. He looked with apprehension at any at- tempt to anticipgte events or fore- close the precious result which was in store for them. If they were patient and careful there was a tremendous destiny before the empire, if they has tened there might be the reverse of such destiny, the breaking apart of those forces which were necessary to construct the majestic fabric of the future empire. They had to remember that matters were changing, there were forces in the world much more powerful than used to work, and they must watch them with eare in order to avoid that their great ener- gv should be directed against the in- terests it was their business to pre serve. A despatch to the Central News, from Liverpool, says that the circular of the White Star line will not be is sued for some days yet. The share holders probably will not meet be- fore the end of the month. The des patch adds that the Cunard line has decided to invite lenders for a new steamer for the New York service to cost $1,000,000. This decision is tak- en to indicate that the company will not change hands, and that it will maintain its forward policy. The Berlin correspondent of the Morning Post sends the text of or ders which have been issued to the Russian troops forbidding them to parley with mobs when the military is called 'out during disturbances, and saying that aiviless shooting over the of rioters must be avoided. Weapons must be used conscientious- ly and zeslowsly in accordance with orders. 'The orders were remarkable as eonfieming the reports that the soldiers are disinclined to act against the insurgents.
