GERMANY AND RUSSIA. Later. Mr. Balfour said he believed neither Germany nor Russia had any intention of depriving Great Britain ot any of her treaty rights in China. Germany, he further informed the House. had given sasurances that the country acquired by her would be open to the oomme1L* of the whole world. The interests of Germany and Qras►$ritain in China were identical, 111.4„.,,, Its• believed` the two countries would be 'able to work hand to ban. . Russia. Mr. Balfour then said. had slay given assurances, but he was bound to .dmit that the form of times asttsaasa had -.banged. Still aNuT- ►aoea bad -igen given that no British treaty rights had been abrogated by the recent acquisitions. SECURED WEI-HAI-WEi, Touching upon Wei -Hai -Wei, Mr. Balfour said that.

The last words of Captain' tTrgohart of the Cameron High:anders, who was among the killed, were, "Never mind me, lade; go on." The Sirdar after the battle said to Col. Money, referring to the slow, steady advance of the Cameron High- landers. under the withering fire of the Dervishes, "It wen one of the finest feats performed for many year*. Toe ought to be proud of such a regiment." There was an impressive scene this afternoon, when three British officers and eighteen men were buried in front of the main where they tell. All the evafiable officers and detachments froth the various battalion were pres- ent. The Bondenese band and the Highland pipers played • lament. The Sondansie troops celebrated the victory by ringing. dancing and drum t.estial. DERVISH DEFEAT PRAISED. A despatch from i.clidon says: Queen Victoria and the 'Ministers of the Kite dive et Egypt have telegraphed hearty congrstu'athnns upon tic victory of the Anglo-Egypti*n tomes over the dervblee at the battle of Al hers.

Continuing Mr. Balfour said: -"We offered. it they would abstain from taking Port Arthur. ourselves to give • corresponding pledge to take no port on the Gulf of Pe -Chi -Li. But our otter was not accepted. so. on Marob 29th, we informed Russia that we should hold ourselves free to take the nereesry steps to safeguard our in- terests. and Great Britain has since obtained a lease of Wei -Hai -Wei on the same terms as those by which Russia secured Port Arthur. Wei-Hei- Wei is the onlyport on the Gulf 01 Pe -Chi -Li whicmight balance the possession of Port Arthur. While Pore Artbur is stronger, the adcommodation at Wei -Hai -Wei is inestimably great- er. end b/taking Wei -ltd -Wei under our protection we prevent the Gulf of Pe -Chi -Li from tailing under the maritime control of one power. and thus defend our interests. The nego- tiations have already borne rich fruit in the interest of our cummeroe and the maintenance of our prestige at Pekin." ' STRANGE SURPRISES IN STORE. Relative to the security of the fu- ture, Mr. Balfour said it oould not be denied that the indications were that China might collapse, and. with further decay. fragments might be snapped up by various powers. But it would be • mistake to allow Great Britibn's policy to be governed by re- mote rontingenctea, adding:a" We de- sire to maintain the integrity of China so far as possible ; hut. it must be re- collected that the future will probably have strange surprises in store." THE BALANCE OF POWER. In conclusion. Mr. Balfour said:- ' The baianoe of power in Ube far Mast may be vary different when LM disintegration of China bas occurred. The time may cotes when the great powers will say that China shall not fall into the hands of any one Ismer. and to embark upon a now difficult and ocatiy enterprise in order to ward off • remote and doubtful danger would he political folly.
