leagues open methods. for which the gov
ernment will be answerable.
United Ireland then warns Lord Sails
bury TO beware and eXhorts the Nationalists
to prepare for action.
LORD SALISBURY,
in speech outlining the policy of the gov
eminent, said that Germany had given as
surances that she did not intend 10 annex
Samoa. With regard TO Burmah he said it
would be better 10 await the arrival of
papers from Lord DufIerin before making
any statement. The government was using
It's influence to prevent any. important
breach in international laws. On this he
said he felt strongly. because ii had been
reported that he had given encouragement
to Greece. This statement he emphatcally
denounced as untrue, and declared that
England above all desired peace in the East.
Referring 10 Ireland. the prime minister
said the government had refTained from re-
newing the crimes act, because there had
been prospect Of returning order in that
country. The experiment had failed, al
though every chance had been given to
make it succeed. Nothing, he said. could
exceed the patience of the Earl of Carnar-
Won in carving out his mission of peace.
The disease. said Lord Salisbury. existed
in Westminster and not in Ireland, and the
government must try to stamp it out here.
The words Of Mr.. Gladstone he declared
were answerable for many Irish evils. Mr..
Gladstone had not spoken, he said, with
sufficient frmneSS concerning the integrity
of the empire. The prime minister's speech
was received with cheers.
MR.. GLADSTONE
said that the conduct of Lord Salisbury in
the Roumelian matter was honorable to him
and worthy of his name. and was credit
to England. The opposition would render
Lord Salisbury every assistance and grant
him every indulgence in connection with
the settlement Of the ROumelian and Bur
mese questions. In regard TO ireland, Mr..
Gladstone said he wished the queens speech
had been more explicit. He was convinced
that only gentle and conciliatory handling
of the Irish question would be effectual.
He mad always striven to eliminate the ele
ments of wrath and passion in discussing
Ireland. The exercise of candor and JUS
tice could alone afford the smallest hope of
solving the difficulty.
Whatever" he continued, "it may be nee.
essary TO do for ireland should be done
promptly. In the name of heaven, let US
maintain the Union. We have been main
tanning it for 600 years. Let us not now de-
viate from the path Of good temper and self
command, but, forgetful of all prejudice, let
us strive to do justice TO the great gigantic
interests committed to our charge. Loud
cheers.
Mr.. Gladstone spoke for an hour and
twenty minutes. and was greatly applauded
throughout
SIR MICHAEL HICKs-BEACH,
chancellor of the eXchequer, thanked MT.
Gladstone for his kindly words. He chal-
lenged the opposition To come to a decision
in regard to their attitude toward the unity
of the empire. If they disagreed with the
government, he said, let them move an
amendment to the address in reply TO the
queens speech. If they agreed with the
government they should declare so. If the
majority of the house so wished the present
government would remain i'm office. He
humbly and earnestly asked all members,
to whatever party they belonged. to sup
port the government, i'm older TO enable it
to conduct the affairs of the country.
Cheers The debate left the impression
that both parties are anxious to conciliate
the Parnellites, and have no desire to en-
force strong coercive measures. AT the
same time it is believed there is no chance
of either Conservatives or Liberals propos-
ing at this session any hOme-rule measure
likely TO satisfy the Irish. The tenor of
Mr.. Parnelrs speech gave evidence of rap
prochement with Mr.. Gladstone, and of
abandoning the hope of an alliance with
the Conservatives. 1t is expected the de-
bate will continue all next week. roo 20
THE GOVERNMENT RESPONSIBLE.
Mr.. Gladstone said that in seeking a
reelection he was mainly guided by wish
to proceed with proposals IN regard to both
the legislative and the social position of
Ireland. Only the government, however. was
able to act in such a matter. He believed
it would be mischievOus to do so. He did
not intend to introduce proposals of his own.
but he would reserve his opinion. He
would also reserve his decision whether TO
alter or to add to the proposals embodied
in his election manifesto. He pleaded for
patient hearing of the opinions Of the
Irish Nationalists. Sir Michael Hicks
Beach said that it was boy
cotting, not Agrarian crimes. that had
increased in Ireland. The chief secretary
for Ireland would consider whether the
ordinary powers were sufficient or whether
special powers would be needed TO suppress
bOycotting. MI. Parnell said that he had
always believed that if the principle were
admitted that Ireland was entitled TO some
form of self-gOyernment, the settlement of
the details would not be found formidable
task. and that there would be no great
difficulty in securing the empire against
separation. He. himself, although a Pro-
testant, feared no danger TO the
minority in Ireland from the Catho-
lies. The whole question was one
of reasonable or eXhOrbitant rents.
He denied that the National league encour-
aged bOycOtting. The Nationalist mem
bers, on seeing the manifest desire of En-
gland to weigh the Irish question calmly.
had resolved that no extravaganza of word
or action IN their part should mar the first
fair chance Ireland ever had. Neither
Liberals nor Parnellites appearing to be in
clined to challenge the government, Lord
Randolph Churchill, secretary of state for
India, proposed that the debate he ad-
journed. He wished the house to clearly
understand, however, that It would be i'm
possible for the present government ever
to sanction an Irish parliament He added
that the government would be prepared.

scheme to improve local government in Ire
land.
