The Secretary for the Colonies.

Referring to the international ’ coma- ence to be held shortly at The Hague, Lord Salisbury said: “Whether the peace conlerence will eflect any improvement in the relations of the nations we do not know, but the fact that such a conference has been summoned is a good omen for future peace. and an augury on whlch all who value the interests of peace. civiliza- tion and Chrisslanlty may fltly dwell."
