LONDON, July 6.-Parnell has recalled
from Ireland all Parnellites to be pre-
sent in the Commons this evening
when the debate upon the right of Brad
laugh to take the oath is to take place.
Parliament reassembled to-day. In
the Commons, Bradlaugh, escorted by
Labouchere and Burt, both Radicals,
advanced to the table with the purpose
of taking the oath. To this Sir Mict-ael
Hicks Beach, Chancellor of the Elk
chequer, interposed objection. He said
the House was strongly of the feeling
that Bradlaugh should not be allowed
to go through the form OF taking the
oath. He then moved that Braalaugh
/ be refused permission to swear and that
! the sergeant-at- arms be directed to ex-
clude him from the precincts of the
House, unless he engaged not to dis
! turb the proceedings OF the House. The
/ motion of Hicks-Besch was adopted by
a vote of 263 TO 219.
In The House of Lords this afternoon
Salisbury made statement TO the effect
that he would continue the policy
adopted by Gladstone in regard to nego-
tiations with Russia for settlement OF
the frontier of Afghanistan. Salisbury,
in moving an adjournment OF the
House, SAID it would be convenient to
explain the condition of one or two I'M
,portant questions whach greatly affected
foreign affairs and the position, of Eng
land. A matter of the gravest import
ance was the recent negotiations with
Russia in regard to the frontier of At
ghanistan. The business OF the govern
ment was not now TO consider or COM
mi on 10 81 in ss
to take up the policy Of their predeoes-
sors and conduct it to an issue consistent
with public interest, but it was net their
business 10 enter into any
controversy regarding that policy
1t must be observed that there
were very clear restrictions upon
the. action of the present govern
ment, arising from the fact that they
had assumed office at time when GER
tain n alters we're drawing near an end,
the result being that many pledges
were given, and the first duties of any
gogernment were to see that the pledges
which an English government had
given should be observed. Continuing,
he said, that, as far as he had any OPP
portunity of jndging. the negotiations
between Russia and England had been
conducted with an earnest desire to ar
rive at an adequate settlement, but he
was bound to say the negotiations had
not gone far enough to enable him to
speak positively He must ask their
Lordships not to attach too much
Importance to these negotiations as
final and conclusive, even when con-
cludee, as the whole condition of at.
fairs in Central Asia was very unsatis-
factory and uncertain. We hope, he
said, to arrive at an amicable settlement
of the differences in regard to Zulfilar
Pass, which England had promised the
Amer would be included in Afghan
istan. What had been promised must
be kept, whatever settlement might be
Arrived at. 1t was our duty to skilfully
devise and vigorously carry out mea-
sures for the defense of the Indian
frontier. Furthermore we should |
stretch cut beyond so that when the |
tide of war comes itwlll not come near
our provinces. These preparations
must be promptly and theoretically |
made, and l trust that this policy will |
never be abandoned
