London, October 10. Mr. Balfour, speaking at Haddington, twitted Mr. Churchill on his Dundee speech, which, he said, was quite misuiiderstood. It was really a masterpiece of political irony.

Failing to convince his colleagues, he had suggested a system of decimal fraction parliaments, which made Home Rule utterly ridiculous.
