THE QUEENS SPEECH.
| The Press association has to believe
the queen speech will be devoid Of any definite
statement as to the future policy of the govern
ment or means of raising supplies for the war.
1t will contain no programme for domestic leg
| lslatlon. This omission is considered to lndi-
cate speedy dissolution of parliament
The speech will mention with
satisfaction the settlement of the fisheries
question and express hope that negotiations
now in progress will remove all causes of
future dispute. 1t is understood the liberal
leaders have agreed that neither Earl Granville
or Marquis Harrington shall move an amend
ment to the address in reply to the royal
speech, but will content themselves in debate
on the addresses, and with critcizing the policy
| of The government. 1t is believed, however,
that Lord Harrington will subsequently intro
| duce resolution.

LONDON Dec. 4.-Gullett, Mott 4 Weylsndt,
bankers, and N. Hoeglund, merchant of Stock
holm, have failed. Liabilities Of the latter ex-
tensive. This failure is due to the fall in the
| price of iron.
NO AMENDMENT.
1t is officially confirmed that the opposition
| will move no amendment to the address, but
will propose in both Houses, at an early date,
1 gov.
ernment.

| LONDON, Dec 4-The Fenian convict Tierney
| alias O'Connor, has been released and placed
aboard the steamer City of Chester for New

THE RESOLUTION.
| The Daily NelvS, liberal organ, publishes an
| authoritative paragraph stating that the reso-
luton which the opposition will introduce in
the house of commons, will strongly censure
| the government, but will not refuse supplies.
Lord Harrington will probably tonight an
nounce his intention OF voting for supplies.
The motion OF censure will probably not be in
troduced by Lord Harrington, but by an indie
pendent member who has effectively discussed
! the question elsewhere, evidently Gladstone
