WHAT QUEEN VICTORIA WILL SAY TO PARLIA-
NEST. ~
Lord Lytton telegraphs that the brigade
under Gen. MACPHERSON has advanced TO
Bowsawal, beyond Koorid Khyber Pass,
to forage and reconnoiter.
The Press Association has reason to be-
lieye that the Queens speech will be de-
void OF an definite statement as TO the fu-
ture Afghan policy Of the government,
or the means for raising supplies for the
war. 1t will contain no programme for
domestic legislation. This omission is
considered to indicate speedy dissolu-
ton OF Parliament. The speech will men
ton with satisfaction the settlement OF the
fisheries question, and express hope
that the negotiations now inprogress will
remove all causes Of future dispute.
1t is understood that the Liberal leaders
have agreed that neither Earl Granville
nor the Marquis OF Harrington shall move
an amendment to the address in reply to
the royal speech, but will content them
selves in the debate on the address with
criticizing the policy OF the Government.
It is believed, however, that Lord Hart
ington will subsequently introduce reso-
lutionS.
