As one who, during the last ten yrara, has had the good fortune to bear many of the leading British statesman and orators, Including the late Mr. Gladstone (introducing his Home Rule bill in 1898.) Lord Roiieberry, Mr. Chamberlain, Sir William Harcourt John Mcrle George been much interested in listening to the speeches of some of the mennow foremost in the political life of the Dominion. Knowing little cf Canadian internal af- fairs before I landed, I have been an lm- partial spectator of the electoral fight now just over in Montreal and an unhiassed listener at some of the principal meetings which have been held in this city since the beginning of November. Mr. Borden`s name: l am ashamed to say,was unknown r`,i\' to me until I saw it set out ln the papers 'L' "Lil \\,' lj i'-_-. i_,» ,here as that of the leader of the Conserva- tive party. From a gallery 'sent in the Monument National some three months ago I listened for an hour to an important speech from himinaugurating the present campaign of his party. I have seldom seen a greater exhibition of moral courage than that displayed by the Conservative leader in addressing that great French- speaking audience in their own tongue. The robust Nova Scoilan made an heroic iight for at least five minutes to emit the soft, liquid sounds. which delight the ears of him who listens to the Parisian speak- ing his native language. To every word upon his sheet of carefully-prepared notes was given loud and determined expres- sion, but if I said that the mouth which was made to give utterance to these unac- customed sounds seemed to the disres- pectful llsteneras if it were full of bread I A smart boy to engage in me Booibinomg de- partmcnt.

Toicio, March, 5 -(Special)-The Rus- sian troops south cf the Anju have re, tired towards the Yalu River. Advlces say that Japan`s land and sea attack on the Russian strongholds will not occur for two weeks yet. PJRT ARTHUR CUT OFF. Port Arthur is now entirely cut off from its base of supplies and it is believed that it will be captured in a few weeks, perhaps without heavy fighting. shall perhaps convey some idea of the effect produced upon the audience by this plucky attempt of Mr. Borden to speak to the French-Canadians of Montreal in their own tongue. In English he spoke with vigor and ciearnnss. Ease of action, grace of lan- guage or eloquence, the Conservative leader cannot, I think, he said to com- mand, nordoes the thick-set figure lend itself to orntorical gestures. A slow swinging-rnunn ot the body, a jerk of the square head and an abrupt raising of the arm are all the motions the speaker seems to usa. But the effect of the man's per- sonality is nevertheless impressive. He seems to express convictions, not mere momentary ideas, and a listener feels that this man’s word will be backed up by the strength and dogged fighting powers which are obviously concealei undcr an unemotlonal exterior. His language was plain, without literary polish or any ora- torlcal flourishes. His speech read better than it sounded, but even in type it seem- ed the utterance ofa man of action rather than of a mind deeply r.-ad or highly cul- tured. " LIKES MR. TARTE» After him spoke Mr. Tarte. No greater contrast could be afforded an audience than that between these two opponents of Sr Wilfrid Laurier. The one seemed almost the personlfioatlon of the stolid, unimnginntive, practical Anglo-Saxon of affairs, a iype of the man who has colon- ised and built up an Empire, step by step, almost without consciousness ci his great work; thc other was tipical of the viva- city, mental dexterity and emotional tem- perament cf the great nation which has so enriched the world of literature and art. Mr. Tarts was aiire iii n moment. No sooner did he stretch out his arm than along it, like a lightning conductor, seemed io run a current of electricity which struck its listeners into activity. With quick, nervous gesture and a volley of staocaio phrases he snapped out mock- ing, tnunllng, exuitant sentences. His retorts upon a “heckling" szctinn of the audience came like shots from a revolver. Throwing back his finely-shaped hea1, darling out a forearm in attack upon some prominent lnterrupter and quiver- lag with excitement. he stood there the very embodiment of the political Mars. Time alter time his hits electrified the audience, who yelled their delight. I do not thihk I have ever see] a speaker rouse his bearers to such n pitch of ex- citement, although I believe Lord Rand- olph Churehill in his best fighting mood could send usually impssslve British audiences into frenzied expressions of de- nunciation and applause. A born orator, Mr. Tartu has a great power of invecilve and sarcasm,coupled with a daring which takes one who hears him for the first time quite by surprise. His best hits were the most unexpected. Those who hazarded interruptions - were slain by a lightning flash. He seared them v» ith a phrase. I do nor. know whether in Great Britain, Mr. Tarts speaking uncommonly good English with a decided accent would be a success. \Vhnt I am sure of is that ln his native tongue he must be one of the most effective of living speakers. THE TWU FOSTERS. It was in the handsome and comforta- ble Windsor Hall that I heard a really line speech in my own tongue. If I had heard Mr. George E. Foster only in the Windsor Iziali I should have kept an im- pression of him as an orator almost in the front rank. In that address which he gave upon his return from England there was dignity, eloquence and a sustained and vigorous power of expression. His review of the great decal iight across the water was clear and cimprehensivc. ills vision of the world ln the near future as in the hands of three or four great powers showed afar view and keen Insight. If he weakened his hold over a mixed audi' ence by devlating from his non-party standpoint to attack Mr. John Charlton it was only a momentary blemish upon a speech which, i-ave for lt, kept upon n high level of national interest. Many of his passages were really eloquent, ex- pressing in ti-ne language great thoughts. Those important aids to a speaker, voice and gesture, Mr. Foster is not blessed. His voice is penetrating but rasping, ann his actions often suggest the manipula- tions of a conjuror. But the prevailing impression left upon one who heard him on this occasion was that ofa man of great mental vigor and grasp, with hlflh aims and the outlook of a statesman, expressing himselt in clear, striking and often eloquent language. After hearing him for the second time on Saturday night, in the Victoria Hall, Westmount, I came away with my opin- ion of him almost reversed. I went to hear an orator, I listened for an hour to a stump speaker. Dignity was gone,a `_&-¢*.-_:*v‘(»_,*_-v*_- 1 _A_f_-r GUAIil)IAll’S promptly on receipt of coupon.

In other words I heard a man I had thought a statesman making a cheap appeal to a party audience by undlgnllled tricks of speech and a most unworthy twisting of an opponents utterances. If I had not heard the actual speeches of Sir Wilfrid Laurier and W. S. Fielding which Mr. Foster was attacking I might have gone away marvulling Mr. Foster's clcverness and the crass stupidity cf the two nren at present in chief power in the Government of Can- adu. As it was I was moved several tinrrs to protest against the gross misre- presentations of passages in the speeches of those gentlemen, misrepresentations which fathered upon Sir Vi'ili'r'iil I aurier in particular arguiucnla so niisurd ibm, Mr. Foster put a slight upon the intelli- gence of his audience by imagining they could be impressed by such stutf. Such expressions to a hell full oi grown-up people as "keep that in your noddle" were more out of place than the trick (already time-worn I was told) of treating them like a pcdagoguc might a row of children by pulling forward a chair and address- ing it as if It contained the bulky form of Mr. Fielding. The truth about Mr. Fost- er may be that he can be a statesman in uiterance one day and a stump orator the next. He owes it to his position as an ex-Minister of the Government and to his audiences that he should drop the latter role. A MAN wun Kxows. I had listened tn Mr. Fielding speaking for nearly an hour in the same hall in Westmount before Iknew who he was I had gone to hear Sir Wilfrid Laurier, who did not appear, and I had not noticed who the other speakers were to be. But I had not heard ten minutes of his talk before I knew he was a .wrong man. A broad well built figure, with good head, there was something about his manner and carriage which gave conviction to _ (Continued on page 2). UIIREI) LITTLE EDIT H.
