LONDON March 3O.-These by no means hal
cyon DAYS for the Monarchy. The Queen and MI
Disrael and the courters who environ both OF
them, have embarked on a sea OF troubles winch
daily grows more tempestuOus. IL is like chahnei
passage. There is danger but there Is great DIS
comfort. The making Of an Empress proves much
less easy matter than was believed and nobody can
now say what the end will be, nor when it Will come
1t has not come with the passage of the bill through
the Commons. The agitation against the Imperial
title survives defeat and it is not the first time
foregner-.in this case Mr.. Disrae-has had to com
pain that the English did not know when they were
beatep Not to know it in Parliament is very I'M
usual even with Englishmen-perhaps more Win
Fnplishmen than with Others for the rule OF politics
here is to accept vote of the House as final There
are exceptions, but they are rare, ana IL
is very remarkable indeed that one OF the
exceptions should occur in matter that
touches the Queen so nearly and when mas
enlisted the very strongest feelings of the courty
eafourage A number of motions and questions re
aing to it have been announced by men SO strangely
apart from each other Lord Elcho and Mr.
Fawcett the latter supported by the Liberal leader
himself. Mr. EaWcettS mOllol II ioI dh dd"i'Ho W
the Queen praying her not to assume any otker
designation of sovereignty in India than that OF
Queen. This il substantially what Lord Shaftes-
burv will propose IN the Lords. The newspapers,
meantime. are inundated with letters against the
imperial title. and Punch, the most loyal OF Her
Naiestv's subjects, but also of the quickest to
catch the popular breath, issues to-day a warning
cartoon Aud all this time the Government are
pressing on the measure with a haste almost unex-
ampled Mr.. Freeman, the historian, writes letter
very weighty IN matter "a his letters always are
and plain spoken to a degree about Mr.. Disraell-
"his iugglers tricks of concealmcnt and surprise,
his insolcnt language toward the colonies, the whole
STYLE Of argument which brought on him well-de-
served chastisenent from Mr. Lowe"
La the midst of this the Queen starts of for
months residence on the Continent-in her beloved
Germany. of course at Baden 1t is a thing which
has not been done before, that the monarch should
ouit the country while Parliament is sitting, and 1t
has provoked circumstances in Parliament and IN
the press To the questions in the House, Mr. Dis
raeli returned answers marked by his usual leyity
There had been precedent for such journey, he
said. i'm 1872 Mr.. Anderson promptly asked
whether the Queens absence in that year was not
durinr the recess. and Mr. Disraoli refused to

scoueuce. Perhaps it is not of much consequence to
many people but il is of much to the Queen ana II
