LATE FOREIGN NEWS.
BRITISH PARLIAMENT.

Lively Time Gladstone Paintiy Cheered-
The Irish Guestion-rories Pressing the
Fisht.
iBy Apglo-American cable to the Dispatch
LONDON, F ,bruary ls.-Parliamsnt
reassembled to-day. Gladstone stated
in the House Of Commons that after the
Government had concluded the flnan-
cial business they had to place before
the House they would be able to state
part il not the whole OF the Irish
measures they intended to introduce.
lie expected, he said, to be through
with the financial business about the
23d Of March. Abiding to the foreign
policy Of the new Government, Glad
stone said be would follow the eastern
policy inaugurated by his predecessor,
Lord Salisbury.
Mr.. Gladstone announced further
that the Government had no intention
Of renewing coercion in Ireland.
In the House Of Lords Earl Gran
Vile, Secretary of State for the Colo
MES. announced that the Government
would not introduce any Irish measures
into Parliament before the first of
March.
LONDON, February el8. - Both
houses Of Parliament were crowded
with peers and commons to-day. Lord
Harrington took a seat behind the Trea-
sury bench. He was loudly cheered by
the Conservatives. The crowd outside
of the Parliament buildings, which usu-
ally gives an enthusiastic reception to
the Prime Minister, only family cheered
Gladstone upon his arrival. There is
general feeling Of discomfort over the
meagreness of the Governments state
ments regarding its proposed Irish
measures.
The fact that the Government made
no announcement Of its programme for
the intI oduction Of bills affecting
Ireland is taken as an indication that
the Cabinet is still undecided as to what
course it should pursue. In the House
of Lords the Marquis Of Salisbury
said he would wait to see what changes
six weeks would give to the policy of
the Government. His remark was
greeted with cheers.
In the House OF Commons Mr.. Glad
stone said the desire Of the Government
was to propose to the House measures
of positive and substantial character
in dealing with Ireland. Respecting
social order and the questions Of land
and future government of ireland, in
Guiding the method for sucn govern
ment, he said that further statement
on the subject would be made on the
22d of March.
The House resumed debate on the
address in reply to the Queens speech.
Lord Randolph Churchill and the rank
and file of Tories abused and sought
to worry Mr.. Gladstone. This course
brought from the Prime Minister only
dignifed speech, in which he said
that the Government had a severe and
difficult task, which it would endeavOr
TO perform resolutely and as speedily
as possible.
The House Of Lords Tories tried to
force Lord Rosebery, Foreign Secre-
tary, to speak on the situation in the
East.

[By Anglo American cable TO the Dispatch
LONDON, February lS.-The. i'm
preston is gaining ground that the
present Cabinet will prove unworka-

hold it together. The PaltAaH Ga
zette states that the resignation of Mr..
Chamberlain, president Of the Local
Government Board, from GladstOne's
Cabinet is a question of but a few
hours. The resignation will be made,
the Gazette says, ostensibly because
Mr.. Chamberlain cannot bring himself
to acquiesce in the Governments policy
Of coercion towards Greece, but in re-
atty because he is unwilling to mar
what he believes 70 be his political fu-
ture by identifying himself just now
with the home-rule policy decided on

The Silver.COfnage Question.
IBy telegraph to the Dispatch.l


WASHINGTON, February l8.-There
is a possibility that the contest over the
silver question may be practically
transferred from the Coinage Committee
of the House to the Committee on Bank
ing and Currency. During the recent
session Of the Coinage Committee
Chairman Bland intimated very strongly
that unless some positive action was
taken by his committee on the matter at
issue the subject might be taken out OF
their hands by prompt report from
the Committee on Banking and Cur
rency on some Of the propositions be-
fore that committee relating to the is
sue of silver or coin certificates on
bullion deposits. That Mr.. Bland had
some tangible ground for his remark is
apparent from the fact that the Com
mittee on Banking and Currency has
determined to begin next week the
consideration Of measures relating to
silver coinage with view to formulating
a bill to be reported to the House. The
committee will first consider, at the
instance of Drngley, the Reagan bill
providing for the issue Of silver certif-
Gates of the denomination Of one and
two dollars in addition to the certif-
Gates authorized at present. 1t will
endeavor to reach an agreement upon
the question as to whether the public
interests will best be served by issuing
silver certificates ofsmsll denominations
or by the resumption Of the issue of
one and two-dollar Treasury notes.
The decision of this question, as con-
sequence, involves some decided action
upon The silver question. A careful
review of the composition Of the COM
mittee, as stated by its chairman, dis
closes the fact that Notwithstanding the
addition Of Mr.. Findlay, monometal-
list, a majority Of seven members are
opposed to the suspension Of the COIN
age Of silver.
