Labouchere on the War-path.
(Per Mail Steamer). Under cover of a motion to adjourn in the House of Commons on Jnne 6th, Mr Laboucbere attacked the entire Soudan policy of the Government, and used with marked effect extracts from the official Italian Green Book just published in Borne, which, if they stood alone, would convince Lord Salisbury of entering upon the hazardous enterprise of reconquering Sondan at the bidding of the German Emperor. He desired to help his ally, the King of Italy, out of an awkward mess resulting from the Italians' ignominious failure to beat the Abyasinians in war. Henry Labonchera charged in Troth on May 2nd that nearly all the British newspapers are subsidised by "promotors," either in the way of advertising or by cold cash. The only exceptions are the leading London morning dailies, one or two evening, and about half a dozen provincial journals.
