the demand for that issue, the
presses were run for two hours after

BRADLAUGH AGAIN REBUFFED.
On the opening of the House
Bradlaugh the atheist, escorted by
Labouchere and Burt, advanced to
the table to take the oath. Sir
Michael Hicks-Beach interposed an
objection, and moved Bradlaugh
should not be allowed to go through
the form of taking the oath. Charles
Henry Hopwood, seconded by Sir
Wilfrid Lawson, moved an amend
ment in favor of legislating as quick

POLITICAL MATTEBS.
On the reassembling of Parlia-
ment, July 9th, Lord Salisbury an
nounced the Governments policy.
They should continue Gladstone's s
policy regarding negotiations with
Russia for the settlement of the
frontier of Afghanistan. Those
negotiations had not proceeded far
enough to be regarded as final and
decisive. They hoped to arrive at
an amicable settlement of the differ
ences in regard to the Zulfikar Pass,
which England had promised the
Ameer should be included in At
ghanistan. 1t was their duty "to
skilfully devise and vigorously lay
out measures. for the defense of the
Indian frontier. Furthermore we
should stretch out beyond, so that
when the tide of war comes it will
not come near our provinces. Those
preparations must be promptly and
energetically made, and I trust that
this policy will never be abandoned. "
Regarding the Egyptian policy, the
Marquis referred to the difficulties
as enormous and of many kinds.
One principle should animate Their
conduct, namely, that once taken
their steps should never be retraced.
Nothing could be done until the
financial question was settled, but in
no case could Egypt be left in ar
unsafe condition. Whether the re.
bellious Soudan Provinces should be
left to their fate was another ques
ton. AS to domestic policy, it was
intended to avoid contentious legis
lation and to promote only sucf
measures as were necessary. These
would perhaps include a Secretary
for Scotland bill. He would vino
up the session at the earliest dat'
possible, and hoped the genera
elections would be iheld on Novem
ber 18th.
