and gentlemen, l continue TO receive
from all the powers cordial assurances OF
friendly sentiments as well as Of an earn
est desire to maintain the peace of the
world.
My officers in conjunction with those
of the Emperor Of Russia, have completed
the demarcstion of the Aighanistan
boundary in conformity with the terms oil
the convention OF 1887. trust the WORK
thus concluded may tend to remove the
possibility of q misunderstanding be-
tween the two powers regarding theil
Asian possessions.
Animated by the desire TO prevent an
effusion Of blood, dispatched mission
to the King Of Abyssinia, with the hope
of dissuading him from engaging in
war with Italy. l deeply re.
greet that my efforts were no;
successful.
The deliberations Of the conference at
Washington to sdjust the questions
which have arisen between Canada and
America are still progressing.
The conference Of delegates from the
powers interested in the sugar industry
summoned to meet in London IN the
autumn to consider the possibility of end
ing the injurious system of bounties has
made considerable progress towards the
conclusion of q satisfactory arrangement.
Gentlemen Of the House Commons, the
estimates for services for 1883 which will
be laid before you have been framed with
duo regards for economy. You will be
asked to provide for the Improvement Of
the defense of the ports and coaling sta
tions rendered urgently necessary by the
advance OF military science, ard also to
sanction an arrangement providing for .
special squadron to protect Australian
commerce, the cost of which viii be
partially borne by the colonies.
My Lords and Gentlemen, the measures
which at great labor you passed last ses-
sion for the benefit Of Ireland have been
carefully carried into effect during the
period since elapsed. The result of this
legislation so far as tested by this short
experience is satisfactory. Agrarian
crime has diminished and the power of
coerciye conspirEcies has sensibly ebated.
Measures tending to develop q the re-
sources of Ireland and to facilitate an in
crease in the number of proDrietors of
the soil will be laid before you. Your
attention will be invited tokthe subject Of
locsl government in England. Measures
sill be submitted for de'ling With it in
combination with proposals for adjusting
the relations between the local ana impe-
rial finance and for mitigating the bur-
dens imposed upon rate-psyers.
The prospe cts of commerce are more
hopeful than any which have been able
to point to in many years. l deeply re-
gret that there has been no correspond
ing Improvement Observable in the con0i-
ton Of agriculture. commend the inter-
ests OF that great industry to your atten-
tive care, hoping that means may be dis
covered to enable it to meet more effect
lively the difficulties urder-whlch it labors.
You will be invited to consider lsgisle-
tive proposals for cheapeuing the transfer
of land, for modifying the procedure by
which 1.-THE rent charges are collected for
promoting technical education, for pre-
venting undue preferences In rateschsrged
by railway companies on foreign and
domestic produce, for remedying abuses
In the formation Of companies under the
limited liability act, for amending the law
Of liability Of employees in case of accident,
for improving the position of the Scottish
Universities, for regulating thorough
police of Scotland and for diminishing
tie cost of private bill legislation.
In these and all other efforts you msy
make to promote the well being of my
people, l pray you may be guided by the
hand Of Almighty God.
