of 1 10 THE TIMES, FRIDAY, JUNE 14, 1901. The largeness of the Unionist majority in the House of Commons threatens to become a source of serious embarrassment to the Government. When there is little difference in the relative strength of parties members respond with alacrity to the appeals of the Whips, because they know that any slackness may mean disaster: but with majority as Ministers nOW possess it is not so easy to impress upon the rank and file the necessity for constant attendance in view of snatch divisions, and, as a matter fact, supporters of the Government are displaying tendency to disregard Sir William Walrond's circulars, which, unless checked, may before long lead to an awkward predicament. At one period last night, for example, the number Unionists in evidence at St. Stephen's was so small that if a division had been challenged the Opposition would have found themselves in substantial majority.

A special whip has been issued against the Christ's Hospital Bill, which is down for second reading in the House of Commons to-day, signed, amongst others, by Lord Balcarres, Major Jameson, Mr. Flower, Mr. Yerburgh, Mr. Crombie, Sir J. Stirling-Maxwell, Sir Frederick Milner, Sir Charlos Dilke, Sir John Brunner, Mr.

Reckitt, Mr. G. W. Palmer, and Mr. Baldwin.

If the measure be read a second time, Mr. H. C. Richards will move an instruction to the committee to consider and report in what manner the site of the hospital can be best dealt with, having regard alike to the reasonable requirements of the charity and St. Bartholomew's Hospital, to the provisions the Disused Burial Grounds Acts, to the interests of London in relation to open spaces, and to the importance of preserving someat least the more interesting buildings of the hospital.

second instruction, which stands in the name Lord Balcarres, would empower the committee consider the disposal of the with a view effecting public improvements, while safeguarding such portions of the site as may have been used for burials. At a meeting of the Sugar Bounties Committee, held at the House of Commons, yesterday, Mr. W. F. Lawrence was elected chairman in succession to the late Colonel Milward, and Mr.

James Reid was appointed hon. secretary. A resolution was then adopted, on the motion of the chairman, seconded by Mr. Wylie, expressing regret at the death of Colonel Milward, who for many years had rendered to the committee most hearted and ungrudging service, and latterly, as chairman, had by his courtesy and capacity earned their sincere affection and regard and the secretary was instructed communicate the motion to Mrs. Milward.

Mr. Cremer has received writs of attachment to the extent of £3,496 15s. 6d. to cover the amount (£750) for which a verdict was recorded against bim in the High Court of Justice in the action brought by Mr. Lowles.

The Manufacturers' Section of the London Chamber of Commerce have had prepared for the information of members of Parliament a statement setting forth their views with regard to the Home Secretary's Factory and Workshops Acts Amendment Bill. No exception is taken to the principle of the measure but a number of amendments upon matters of detail are suggested. Satisfaction is expressed at the fact that the objectionable provisions in the Bill of last year concerning the powers of the Secretary of State in connexion with dangerous trades and overtime exemptions have been dropped, but in regard to Clause 9, which contains requirements in connexion with sanitation, the opinion is placed on record that the powers proposed to be given under which any officer of the District Council can inspect the lists of out-workers kept by the occupiers or contractors are open to abuse. The Section consider that such powers should be' limited to the medical officer or to some specially appointed official in order to secure privacy for the lists in question. Coming to the clauses relating to cleaning any moving machinery and to steam boilers the proposal of the Section is that the word person should be substituted 66 engineer and the word fourteen for twelve." The contention is that the word engineer is unduly restrictive and that the word person is used by the Select Committee on Boiler Registration and Inspection which reported to the House of Commons on this subject in 1900.

The extension from 12 to 14 months is suggested on the ground that the cleaning, out of boilers is generally done on public holidays. The following preliminary observations are submitted with reference to Clause 20, which specifies the maintenance of means of escape in case of fire Step by step in recent factory legislation on the provision of escape from fire the power of the sanitary suthority over the manufacturer has been extended. The Act of 1891 gave the power to the sanitary authority to require structural alterations in existing factories (the owner in case of difference having the right to appeal to arbitration) and to require that all new factories should be provided with a certificate (the owner having no appeal to arbitration). The Act of 1895 extended the scope of this legislation to workshops. The next step is now taken and it is proposed that any existing factory or workshop to which any substantial alteration or addition is made must be provided with a certificate by the sanitary suthority of the district.

But no right of appeal is given to the owner in case of difference with the sanitary authority, and the effect -is to take away from the owner of an existing factory or workshop the right of sppeal to arbitration where be has hitherto possessed it. The sanitary suthority may withhold the certificate, although in the opinion of competent architects the factory or workshop is sufficiently provided, and the owner is consequently at the mercy of the sanitary suthority. London manufacturers who have had dealings with the London County Council will fully appreciate what this means. In the circumstances the Section recommend that detailed amendments similar to those 1 made in respect of the Bill last year should at the proper time be placed the hands of the Home Secretary or of such members of Parliament as may be willing to support them. Commenting on Clause 21, which gives to district councils the power to make by-laws with reference to means of escape from fire in factories and workshops, the Section see no reasonable objection to the making of by-laws for new factories, but they submit, that by-laws cannot be framed which fairly and efficiently apply to the structures of existing factories.

Consequently, an amendment is recommended -providing that so far as existing factories are concerned the power to make bylaws dealing with matters of structure should be excluded. Strong approval is expressed of Clause 23, which prohibits the employment of children under 12 years of age instead of under 11 as at present and the omission of subsection 4 of Clause 26 is recommended on the ground that where laundry work in an institution is carried on for proft it should in every instance be subject to the Factory and Workshops Acts and be under the supervision of the Home Office inspectors. Clause 28, which attempts a definition of an underground bakehouse and in other respects introduces certain extensions of the present law, would, the Section think, inflict great hardships on tradesmen who are leaseholders of their sanitary authority that their bakehouses cannot premises, 4, and who, if it were decided by the local be made to meet the requirements of the Act, would be still held by the terms of their leases while unable to make use of them for the purposes of their business. The Section see no objection to Clause 31, which specifies that in certain trades meals shall not be taken in workshops but they suggest certain verbal amendments which they consider necessary to limit the operation of the clause to dangerous and unhealthy trades. In regard to Clause 33, which lays down the conditions respecting general registers as to children and young persons, lime-washing, accidents, it is argued that the necessities of the case would be sufficiently met by the omission of the following words, and the failure to make any entry so required with respect to the observations of the Factory Acts shall be admissible as evidence that that provision has not been observed." A new clause is suggested to meet the special requirements of the fish and fruit preserving industries, and in conclusion a protest is entered against the repeal of section 43 of the principal Act (relating to employment between POLITICAL NOTES.

a.m. and 9 p.m. in certain cases), the contention being that it is a great convenience in some trades that women employed in packing and despatching should be allowed to commence at a later hour in the morning than the factory workers and remain later at night. GLASGOW UNIVERSITY JUBILEE. among nations.

This was true, but the difficulty of treat- The following is ing of this separately was that freedom, what he called Medical Association's natural Liberty, was worked into the very fibre of his to science. It might, indeed, be called treatise on Glasgow University natural liberty carried into industrial life. Much of the Haud immemores benignitatis Wealth of and not the least valuable part, eo libentius adpropinquamus, was polemical, and aimed at the innumerable restraints on etiam nunc in mentibus freedom bound up with theories which bad perhaps a benevolentia, quanta better right to the name of political economy than his conf raternitatem. Quot System bad. It would take too long to tell how Smith disputationes eruditissimas denounced every form of combination and privilege.

Gulielmi Gairdner, inter Much had happened since Adam Smith wrote. It was no tissimi, apud urbem vestram longer necessary to read the Wealth of Nations to noctes illas Boreales cenasque know his doctrines. They were the very warp and woof necnon verba illa Flacci poetae The celebrations in connexion with the ninth jubilee of Glasgow University were continued yesterday. In the morning there was a crowded attendance in the Bute Hall of the University to hear an oration on James Watt by Lord Kelvin, and another by Professor Smart on Adam Smith, and to see the graduation ceremony at the conclusion of the addresses. The front area was allotted to representatives of other Universities, the robes of the delegates from foreign countries lending a brilliant and effective note of colour to the scene.

Lord Kelvin, in his oration, said The name of James Watt was famous throughout the whole world, in every part of which his great work had conferred benefits on mankind in continually increasing volume up to the present day. It was fitting that the University of Glasgow, in this celebration of its ninth jubilee, should recollect with pride the privilege it happily exercised 145 years ago of lending helping hand and giving a workshop within its walls to a young man of no University education, struggling to begin earning a livelihood as a mathematical instrument maker, in whom was then discovered something of the genius destined for such great things in the future. In a Dote by Watt appended to Professor Robison's dissertation on steam engines, he said that his attention was first directed in the year 1759 to the subject of steam engines by the late Dr. Robison, then a student in the University of Glasgow and pearly of his own age. He at that time threw out an idea of applying the power of the steam engine to the moving of wheel carriages and to other purposes, but the scheme was not matured, and was soon abandoned.

On his going abroad about the year 1761 or '1762 Watt tried some experiments on the force of steam in a Papin's digester, and formed a species of steam engine by fixing upon it a syringe one-third of an inch diameter with solid piston, and furnished also with a cock to admit the steam from the digester or shut if off at pleasure, as well as to open a communication from the inside of the syringe to the open air, by which the steam contained in the syringe might escape. That single acting, highpressure syringe engine, made and experimented on by James Watt 140 years ago in his Glasgow College workshop, now in 1901, with the addition of surface condenser cooled by air to receive the waste steam and a pump to return the water thence to the boiler, constituted the common road motor, which, in the opinion of many good judges, was the most successful of all different forms tried within the last few years. Watt left Glasgow in 1774 to live in the neighbourhood of Dr. Erasmus Darwin, grandfather of Charles Darwin. But Greenock and the University and City of Glasgow never lost James Watt.

The University conferred the honorary degree of LL.D. upon him in 1806. In 1808 he founded the Watt Prize in Glasgow College. He became Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1784, Fellow of the Royal Society of London in 1785, correspondent of the French Academy of 99 Sciences in 1808, one of the eight Etrangers of the French Academy of Sciences in 1814. He did not know if any University in the world ever had a tradesman's workshop and salesbop within its walls, even for the making and selling of mathematical instruments prior to 1757.

But whether the University of Glasgow was or was not unique in its beneficent infraction of usage in this respect, it was certainly unique in being the first British Universityperhaps the drst University in the world--to have an engineering school and professorship of engineering. This began under Professor Lewis Gordon about 1843. Glasgow was certainly the first University to have a chemical teaching laboratory for students started by its first professor of chemistry, Thomas Thomson, some time between 1818 and 1830. Glasgow was also certainly first University to have physical laboratory for the exercise and instruction of students' experimental work, which grew up with very imperfect appliances between 1846 and 1856. Pioneer though it was in those three departments, it bad been outstripped within the last ten or 15 years by other Universities and colleges in the elaborate buildings and instruments now needed to work effectively for the increase of knowledge by experimental research and the practical instruction of students.

But there was no lagging to-day in the resolution to improve to the utmost in all affairs of practical importance, and they almost saw attainment of the further aspirations to excel over all others in the magnifoent James Watt Engineering Laboratory of the University of Glasgow to be ready for work before the expected meeting of the Engineering Congress next September. Now, through the magnificently generous kindness of Mr. Andrew Carnegie to the people among whom he has made for himself a summer home in the land of his birth, all the four Scottish Universities could look forward to largely-increased power of benefiting the world by scientifo research and by extending their teaching to young people chosen from every class of society as likely to be made better and happier and more useful to our country by University education. Professor Smart afterwards delivered his address on Adam Smith. He said Smith's greatness consisted, first in the fact that he had laid down the lines of new science.

He was not the first economist. On every part of the subject something bad been written and on many parts much, but he was the first to weave the whole, industrial analysis into connected fabric and law. The greatness of the achievement was not lessened by the fact that it was very much unconscious. From end to end the Wealth of Nations was a treatise on labour. There could not be a science unless there was uniformity in the phenomena with which it dealt.

This uniformity existed in the commonplace life of man, but it was not in the desire for wealth with all the sordid corollaries which such a phase suggested, but in the universal necessity of labour. What was labour It was first 8 necessity, a fundamental necessity, but it was far more. Every man who had eyes to see knew that the redemption of man came through labour. If he were asked to choose between a universal working day of nine hours or a system where half an hour's labour per day would yield all that man needed, he would unhesitatingly choose the' nine-hours day. How it was that Adam Smith's analysis of the organized labour of a people came to be regarded by some in later times as a sordid thing, a gloritication of wealth, and a justifcation of greed, he did not know.

Adam Smith's second claim to greatness was difficult to place. It was generally said that it was by his advocacy that industry became free, and. that this country subsequently became the great exemplar of free trade of modern economics, but we were not just to his memory if we forgot that be was in his day a heretic of the heretics, preaching doctrines which were counted dangerous to the very life of the nations. Again, we were not just to the memory of Adam Smith if we took all be said a century and a half ago as applicable to the world of to-day. The division of labour of which he saw mere beginnings had been carried to an extreme.

Organization of industry had become so complete that those who could not find a place in it were in danger of starving in the midst of plenty. The freedom of industry which he thought a Utopian dream of his own had become a fact, but freedom and organization had brought their own problems. With the growth of local government many matters had been added to the category of things which the State could do better than the individual, and with the very growth of liberty had come the greater need of securing that liberty against its own abuses. In the greatness of Adam Smith one thing more must be mentioned, the stainless purity and high honour of his life. The honorary degrees were afterwards conferred.

The list was an exceptionally long one and consisted of 22 doctors divinity and 120 doctors of law. The following are the names of a number of recipients D.D.-The Rev. T. K. Abbott, Trinity College, Dublin the Bishop of Bath and Wells Professor Charles A.

Among those who were thus specially distinguished were Sir Ian Hamilton and Sir Archibald Hunter. Mr. Andrew Carnegie, whose munificence to the Scottish Universities is still the topic of public comment, also came in for an enthusiastic reception. Lord Balfour of Burleigh, Lord Beauchamp, Lord Dufferin, Lord Glasgow, Sir William MacCormac, Lord Strathcona, and Professor Roscoe were also singled out for special notice. In the afternoon a garden party was held in Queen Margaret College, and in the evening a conversazione took place in the University.

The new botanical department of Glasgow University was opened yesterday by Sir Joseph Hooker, in presence of a distinguished company. Principal Story, who presided, said A large part of the expenditure had been from funds at the disposal of the University itself, but these had been supplemented by funds from other quarters without which the building could not have been carried out to its present completion. He did not know that there was in Britainin fact his venerable friend Sir Joseph Hooker said there was not in Britain-a finer botanical establishment than that which now belonged to the University of Glasgow, and it was a very interesting feature, in the celebrations of the present week that they should be able to accompany these with the ceremony of opening these halls. It was still more interesting that assisting them in doing so they should have in the person of Sir Joseph Hooker the most distinguished botanist of the day. Sir Joseph Hooker, who was received with prolonged cheers, said The audience might imagine themselves carried back to the first quarter of the last century when his father was professor of botany.

He had not been educated for the medical, or, indeed, any other learned profession. Having inherited ample means and having been from childhood devoted to the study and collection of objects of natural history, he determined to devote his. life and his fortune to travel and scientifo pursuits. Early in 1820, circumstances requiring him to turn his botanical attainments to material account, he obtained, through the influence of his friend Sir Joseph Banks with George the chair of Regius Professor of Botany in this University. It was a bold venture for him to undertake so responsible an office, for he had never lectured, or even attended a course of lectures, and in Glasgow, as in all other Universities in the kingdom, the botanical chair was, and had always been, held by a graduate in medicine.

Owing to these disqualifications his appointment was naturally unfavourably viewed by the medical faculty of the University. But he had resources that enabled him to overcome all obstacles familiarity with his subject, devotion to its study, energy, eloquence, 8 commanding presence, with urbanity of manners, and, above all, the art of making the student love the science he taught. After 20 years of the professorship his father retired and undertook the directorship of the Royal Gardens, Kew. Since that period great changes had been introduced in the method of botanical teaching in all our Universities, due, on the one band, to a vastly advanced comprehension of the structure of plants and of the functions of their organs, and, on the other, to a recognition of the fact that the study of the animal and vegetable kingdoms could not be considered apart. Furtbermore, chemistry, physics, and greatly improved microscopes were now necessary for the elucidation of the elementary problems of plant life.

The addition of the building in which they were assembled was evidence of the resolve that botany should not fall from its well-earned position. The botanical laboratory would prove an invaluable aid to research under the of its distinguished director, and in that belief he now declared it open. extracted from the British address of congratulation vestrae so liberalitatis quod post tredecim annos habemus quanto amore, quanta hospitalitate nostram acceperitis sermones doctissimos, quot auspiciis veteris illius equitis Aesculapii discipulos praestantunc habebamus Quotiens deorum revocare amabamus, quando iterum revisam nobis in mentem suepius subire videbantur WILLS AND BEQUESTS.

THE LAMPSON COLLECTION.

Messrs. Christie, Manson, and Woods commenced yesterday the two days' sale of the collection of porcelain, objects of art and virtu, old French and English decorative objects, and furniture, the property of Lady Lampson, removed from 19, Albert-gate, S.W., and forming part of the collection of the late Sir George Curtis Lampson.

after a long illness. Sir George was the only son of the fifth baronet by his first wife, daughter of the eighth Earl of Lauderdale, and was born in 1825. He served for some time in the Coldstream Guards, and after his retirement from the Army commanded the lat. Haddington Ride Volunteers. After his succession to the title in 1867 he devoted himself to the development of his estates, and particularly of his Bruntisfield property, in Edinburgh, upon which what is known as the Warrender district of the Scottish capital now stands.

At one time, too, he took active share in the management of several Scottish-American companies which had their origin in Edinburgh, besides acting as director of the Royal Bank of Scotland and of the Caledonian Insurance Company. A strong Conservative in politics, Sir George was leading figure in the counsels of that party in Scotland at a time when Conservatism north of the Tweed was far from being the force it now is. Sir George married, in 1854, the only child of the late Sir Hugh Hume Campbell, of Marchmont, Berwickshire, by whom he had a family of three sons and three daughters. Lady Warrender died in 1875. Sir George's eldest son died some years ago, and the heir to the title is his second son, Captain George John Scott Warrender, R.N., who is now in command of the Barfleur, battleship, RearAdmiral Sir James Bruce's flagship on the China Station.

Captain Warrender married, in 1894, Lady Ethel Maud Ashloy, a sister of the Earl of Shaftesbury, by whom he has issue a son and a daughter. By the death of the REV. HUGE WILKINSON GOODHART, which occurred on Monday at St. Paul's Vicarage, Haggerston, after a short illness, in his 54th year, the Church in East London loses modest and capable clergyman whose gifts were recognized most by those who knew him best. It is only a few months since be appealed in The Times for help in securing for his church memorial of the Rev.

S. J. Stone, one of the best known of his predecessors at St. Paul's. Mr.

Goodbart graduated in 1881 from Peterhouse, Cambridge, and was ordained deacon and priest by the Bishop of St. Albans (Dr. T. L. Claughton), and licensed to the curacy of Royston, Herts.

After four years' service there, he moved to the parish of St. George's-in-the-East, and in 1891 the Bishop of London (Dr. Temple) gave him the vicarage of St. Paul's, Haggerston. He was good organizer, kindly parish priest, and a thoughtful preacher.

The death took place st The Vicarage, Rottingdean, on Monday, of LADY HAWKER, widow of the Hon. George C. Hawker, a former Speaker of the Legislative Assembly of South Australia. Lady Hawker married Mr. Hawker in 1845, and after her husband's death, in 1895, she was granted the rank of the widow of a knight.

The funeral of Lord Wantage, V.C., Lord Lieutenant of Berkshire, took place yesterday at Ardington, about a mile distant from his residence, Lockinge-house.

The King was represented at the funeral by the Earl- of Kintore, while Prince Christian, hon. colonel of the Volunteer Battalion of the Royal Berks Regiment, which Lord Wantage raised and commanded for a long time, was present, attended by Major Martin. On Wednesday evening a memorial service was held in Lockinge Church by the rector (the Rev. J. G.

Cornish) and the vicar of Ardington (the Rev. F. J. C. Gillmor).

Among those present were Lady Wantage, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Lindsay, Lady Jane Lindsay, and Colonel Colebrooke Carter and Mrs. Yesterday morning there was celebration of the Holy Communion, the Rev. W.

A. Cole, formerly rector of Lockinge and chaplain to Lord Wantage, being the celebrant. At 10 30 the body was drawn by the principal on the estate from Lockinge and deposited in Ardington being covered with silk pall worked at the Royal School of Art Needlework. The only foral tribute placed upon the coffin was that from Lady Wantage, while many wreaths and crosses were disposed around it. Two o'clock was the hour fixed for the funeral, which was attended by a large company of relatives and friends.

The mourners included Lady Wantage, Sir Coutta Lindsay, Lady Jane Lindsay, the Earl And Countess of Crawford, the Marquis and Marchioness of Granby, the Earl and Countess of Morley, Earl and Countess Grey, Lord Balcarres, M.P., Mr. A K. Loyd, M.P., and Mrs. Loyd, Mr. and Mrs.
