BRITISH
Debate in Parliament on the Queens
Speech.
Lord Salisbury, in aspeech outlining the
policy of the government, said:

Lord Salisbury, In q speech outlining the
policy of the government, said:
Germany had given assurances that abe did
not intend to annex Samoa With regard to
Burmah he said 1t would be better to aw ait ar
rival of papers from Lord Dufferin before making
any statement. The government was using
Its influence to prevent any important breach in
International laws. On this he felt strongly.
because 1t had been reported that he had given
encouragement to Greece. This statement he
emphat1caily denounced as untrue, and declared
that England above ali desired peace in the east.
The government had refrained from renewing
the crimes act in Ireland, because there had been
q prospect OF returning order in that country.
The experiment had failed, although every
chance had been given to make it succeed,
Nothing, he said. could exceed the patience of
tho earl of Carnarvon in carrying out his mis-
sion OF peace. The disease existed in West
minister. and not in Ireland. and the government
must try to stamp it out here. The words OF
MT. Gladstone were answerable for many Irish
evils. Mr.. Gladstone had not spoken with sufa-
Gent frmness concerning the integrity Of the
empire.
The prime minister's speech was received
with cheers
Mr.. Gladstone said:
The conduct of Lord Salisbury In the Roume-
liam matter was honorable to him and worthy ~
his name, and was q credit to England. The
opposition would render Lord Salisbury every
assistance and grant hun every indulgence in
connection with the settlement of the Ronme-
nan and Burmese question In regard to Ireland
he wished the queens speech had been more ex-
plicit. He was convinced that only the gentle
and concilatory handling Of the Irish question
would be %etfectual. He had always striyen
to eliminate the clements of wrath and passion
In discussing Ireland. The exercise of candor
and Justice could alone afford the smallest hone
of solving the difficulty. Whatever it NAV be
necessary to do Tor Ireland should be done
promptly. In the name Of heaven let us main
tain the union. We have been ma nt.ininp H.
sor 600 years. Let us not now deviate from the
path OF good temper and self-commapd Int
forgeUful of all prejudice let us strive to do ms
tice to tho great. gigantic interests committed
to our charge. Loud okeers.1
Mr.. Gladstone spoke for an hour and
twenty minutes, and was greatly applauded
throughout
Mr.. parnell said:
He had always believed that IL the principle
were admitted that Ireland was entitled to some
FORM OF self xoYtrnment,t the settlement of the
details would not be found n formidable tnsE
and there would be no great difficulty in secnr-
inE the empire against separation. He him
self. although n Protestant. feared no dan
ger to the minority in Ireland from
tie Catholics. The whole question
was one of reasonable or exorbitant rents
He denied that the National league en-
couraGed boycotting. The Nationalist mem
hers. on seeing the manifest desire Of
ENGLAND to weigh the Irish question
calmly, Ind resolved that no extravagance of
word or action on their part should mar the
first fair Chance Ireland ever had, neither Liber-
ais nor farnellites appearing to be inclined to
challenge.
