LONDON, Jan. 20.-On the eve Of the
opening of parliament the only definite
statement that can be made as to the prob
able turn To be given to Irish legislation is
that everything during the last few days
has indicated a disposition on the part of
the Liberals and Tories toward severity.
The spirit OF concession with which the
campaign started out, and which at
one time seemed 10 resolve into a
scramble TO see which side could do
the most TO eOnciliate PaTnell, has
apparently disappeared. The explanation
of this fact may doubtless be found in the
discovery OF the real strength of feeling in
England against granting Ireland either
home rule or anything which might be used
as an opening wedge for further legislation
IN the direction OF alienation of that country
from the direct control of the crown. The
surprising strength of the sentiment appar-
emily convinced Mr.. Gladstone and Lord
Salisbury some time ago that il would be a
mistake to go too far in the way of local
government schemes. The more recent
phases OF the campaign have been appeals
by the two rival political chiefs for
the support of the Irish people
directly rather than through their recognized
leaders. Lord Salisbury has undoubtedly
been fostering the Irish LOyalist movement,
while Mr.. Gladstone, there is reason TO be
lleve, has been making overtures To the
mass OF the Irish people by trying TO push
the rent and land question TO the foremost
place, hitherto occupied by the hOme-rule
question. The effect of all this has been

ranks OF the Irish politicians and to give

at times in regard to his maintenance of
discipline among his followers. 1t does not
appear, however, that any serious inruadS
have been made on the Irish leaders in
tiuence, but the feeling is that even with
the eighty-SiX Irish members standing as a
unit, they will not exercise the cOntrOll-
ing influence in parliament which
was confidently predicted after the
elections. The real effect of the Glad
stonlan tactics i'm Ireland will probably not
be felt during the first part of the session,
but later on, especially if it is seen at the
outset that home rule is an ultimate prize
the question is then likely to be, how much
can be gained on the basis of land reform.
This will give room for entirely new COM
binationS. and if any real differences of
opinion exist among the eighty-six members
upon the treatment of this question there
will be opportunity for sharp practice in
ing of support TO the party Offering the
most liberal inducements in land legislation.
Beyond this 1t is idle to attempt any proph-
ecy. Mr.. GladstOne's letter to the
mayor of Belfast states distinctly that the
Liberal policy will not be announced until
the government has stated its platform,
and Lord Salisbury told the Ulster delega-
ton that the governments policy would not
be announced until the proper course of
business in parliament made such state
ment necessary. In the face of these posi-
tive declarations, it is evident that all re-
ports which are being sent out, and which
puTpOrt to he exact definitions Of the plans
OF the opposing chiefs, are mere conjecture.
The interest manifested in tO-mOrrOw's re-
opening of parliament has rarely been
equaled in the past. The demands for ad-
mission & the houses is unprecedented and
it is expected that tomorrow will be red
letter day in the history of Westminster.

London to-day from Windsor castle. She

ham palace in an open carriage. and re-

WHAT THE QUEEN WILL SAY.
The queens speech was read at the min
istrate dinner to-day. Referring TO Ireland
the speech says that although in some re-
spects there are favorable indications of
progress toward order in that country. yet
az present Ireland is disturbed by an increas-
ing tendency to resort to unlawful practices
and disposition to set the law at naught.
The government therefore recognizes its
duty to take energetic steps to enforce law
and order to provide security for life and
property and to maintain in its fullest mean
ing the integrity of the union, and meas
ures necessary to secure these ends will be
submitted to parliament. The speech fur
ther promises a local government measure
for England, to be followed by similar
measures for Scotland and Ireland, and
bill to cheaper and facilitate the transfer of
land. 1t refers to the hopeful prospects"
of the Egyptian commission establishing a
stable government in Egypt, says that the
question of annexing Burmah will not be
decided until Lord Dufferin reports on the
subject, but that the deposition of Thee
baw is necessary; congratulates parliament
on the peaceful foreign relations of Great
Britain; trusts that peace will be MAIN
tanned in the Balkans throughout the self
cOutrol of the powers interested, and con-
cludes by expressing the hope that the new
parliament will follow the great tradition
of former governments.
