was unauspicious for the reappearance
OF the queen in public. 1t was a dull
day and the streets were covered with
and slush. Promptly at 1870 the
royal party left Buckingham palace for
the house of lords. The route of the
loyal pageant had been covered with
gravel, and this prevented the horses
from falling and enabled more progress
to be made. Her majesty rode in un
open carriage drawn by eight horses,
the Household cavalry acting as an
escort to the queen. Large crowds lined
the streets through which the royal pro-
cession passed and her majesty was
greeted with hearty cheers along the
route. The scene in the house of lords
was very brilliant. Peers and peeresses,
Judges, ministers and bishops were pres.
ent in large numbers in full court dress,
Gas light was used in the chamber,
owing TO the absence of the sun. This
enhanced the beauty OF the scene, as it
showed more fully the brllliancy of the
jewels and the splendor of the dresses
worn by those present. The queen
looked as II she was suffering from a
cold.
Her majesty, in her speech, said her
relation with other powers continued
friendly. The differences with Russia
regarding the Afghanistan boundary had
been satisfactorily adjusted. The work
of the Russia-EngIish frontier demarka-
ton commission, already far advanced,
may tend to secure the continuance OF
peace in Central Asia.
Referring to the rising in eastern
Roumella, her majesty said her
object IN the negotiations which
followed the outbreak had been to bring
the inhabitants of that country, accor-
ding to their wish. under the prince of
Bnlgsria's rule, white maintaining un-
impaired the essential rights of the
sultan.
The queen regrets that she has been
compelled to declare war against King
Thebaw, OF Burmah, owing to the acts of
hostility by himself and subjects. The
gallantry Of the forces under General
Prendergast had rapidly overthrown
the Burmese forces, and she decided
that the most certain method of inenr-
ing peace was to be found in the per
manent corporation of Burmah with her
empire.
The negotiations respecting the rights
of the French on the coast of N~ewfound-
land had been satisfactorily concluded,
With SPAN, also, an agreement had been
reached giving the British the same
commercial rights as the Germans.
Parliament asked her to adopt certain
measures rendered necessary relative to
international copy rights, which the
queen has agreed to.
Turning to international affairs the
queen said:
