The War Viruicntiy Denounced and Mr. Chamberlain Further Attacked. LONDON. December 15~Parllament was dismissed today, until the middle of February, with the reading of the shortest of the Queen's speeches. It was as follows: “My Lords and Gentlemen: i thank you for the liberal provison you have made for the expenses incurred by the operations of my armies in South Afri- ca nnd China." The proceedings today in the House of Commons were a repetition in min. sion. The war was vlrulently dc- 11ounced and Mr. Chamberlain was fur- flnally voted after the secretary for war. Mr. Brodrick. had given an assur- ance that the government. during ru- ccss. would cordially cooperate with General Kitchener In an endeavor to end the war. Particularly stinging were the rd- marks of Mr. John Bryn-Roberts. Lib- eral. lie declared that the British treatment of the women of South Af- rica was an outrage on civilisation. and that it was blasphemy to hold Christian services in St. Paul‘s in con- nection with the return of Lord Rob- erts. while there were such proceed- ings in South Africa Mr Brodrick hotly denounced Mr. Bryn-Roberta’s charges, asserting that it was crlminal which could not be proved, but which. however. would be telegraphed to South Africa to increase the discontent there. He held up Mr. Bryn-Roberts to the censure and reprobationof near. 1y every member of the Mouse of Com- mons. These remarks were greeted with cheers. Mr. Brodrlck then repeated that the a policy which would malts It more dif- ficult for the Doors to cease lighting. end that the government chided in the declarations of llr. Chamberlain. . The session was suspended until 2 o’clock in the afternoon. when both houses met and were prorogusd. nan-— WILL KNOWN CHIMIIT DIM). DENVER Coll. December lib—Dr. o. .
