LONDON, February 5.-The Pail Mall Ca
sette of this evening announces that 1t has
seen an early copy Of the Queens speech,
| which is to be delivered at the opening of
Parliament tomorrow. 1t thereupOn pro-
| ceeds to give the annexed abstracts Of the
| contents of the document.
| The Queen says the Gazette cOngratulates
| Parliament and the country that her rela-
tions with the nations of Europe are OF the
most friendly character Considerable
space is devoted to the subject Of the Ala
bama claim, upon which the Queen says:
II have concluded treaty with the
| United States of America for the settlement
! of the questions which have been discussed
| for some years. 1t having become obvious
| that the horrors of war were unavoidable
| unless peaceful arbitration could be substi-
| tuted for the arbitrament OF the sword,
| have given my consent TO reference OF the
| Alabama claims to an international tribunal
the highest authority to which their de-
| cisiOn could have been entrusted.
Through pardOnable oversight on the
| part of the negOtiatOrs, the claims were not
explicitly limited to direct losses and,
therefore, the President OF the United
STATES has preferred a considerable amount
| of~fndirect losses, to many of which my
government has demurred. I hope the
amount to be ultimately paid will not ex-
ceed the French payment to Germany"
| The Queen deplOres the troubles in India.
She felicitates Parliament upon the cOndi-
| ton of the finances of the country, and the
| collection of an unprecedentedly large reve-
| IL. = lo fo<o of
Ireland, and Omises the introduction OF
bills in relat to the ballot; for the regu-
lation of the mines; for the acquisition of
the railways by the state; and for the regu-
lation of licenses for the sale of liquors.
The foregoing alleged synopsis of the
Queens speech is given for what it is
| worth. 1t is the theme of universal COM
| lively known upon the subject, the opinion
is generally expressed that the Pail Mall
| Gazette has been made the victim OF an i'm
position, and that the pretended speech is q
hoax.
The Prince of Wales attended church at
Sandringham yesterday.
The number of seats in St. Pauls on the

The Times complains that the American
| case has been translated into the CONT
mental languages, and scattered broadcast
over Europe, and says if the intention is to
make retraction impossible, no methed
could be chosen which could prove so
| effective.
Our expectation of successful ISSUE"
continues the Times. lis extremely mOder-
ate. We do not give up all hope, but a
misunderstanding once being established,s =
there can be no sequel other than abandon
ment of the reference of these claims to
the Board of Arbitration"
| The Times, in its leader of Saturday, uses
the following language: I'VE repudiate the
treaty of Washington, in the American
case, and must withdraw from arbitration
IT this construction is insisted on, but this
point rectifed, we are ready to stand 10y
ally by the treaty"
The Times of to-day is afraid that the at.
tempt to solve the Alabama difficulty may
| prove abortive, and hopes failure will not
excite bitter feeling in America
The Post this morning thinks it will be
time enough when the United States with
draw their demand for indirect damages to
decide upon future action. Menaces are
now ungracious. The same tone pervades
the articles of the other morning journals
| to-day.
The weekly press. most of which went to
press Thursday or Friday, about the time
the furry of Indignation in the American
case eliminated was savage and belllcOse,
and especially the Saturday Reriew. They
generally took the ground that the United
| States preferred to have no settlement. and
wished to hold these Alabama claims as a
perpetual menace for political uses.
The Daily Neps says the Queen in her
