Lord Rosebery Says No Sane Man Would Ever Think of Giving Them Independence -- Speech Made at Great Meeting in Liv- erpool. : London, Feb, 15.-Lord Rosebery addressed a great meeting at Liver pool, yesterday. He received an en- thusisstic ovation. He commended Kuyj ev, the Netherlands prime minis. ter, for. his efforts to iecure peace in South' Airiea, and said he thought the suggestion that the government grant ot delegatis passes to South Africa had been well worthy of government's consideration, notwith- standing the limited nature of the commission the delegates possessed. Lord Rosebery emphasized the eriti ¢cism he made at Chesterfiel in re gard to the making of peace! e re asserted his repudiation of an alliance with the Irish. The claims of the na- tionalists could not be conceded, he said. They had declared that nothing short of absolute separation would satisfy them, and no sane man would ever advocate granting them indepen dence, which in time. ..of war might turn the balance between the success ofthese goods in our window.
