Special Cable Dispatch to The EvESISe STAR
LONDON, Feb. l0.-Contrary to expectations, the
proceedings OF parliament on the opening day were
unusually tame and commonplace. IL Is evident
the debate on the address Will be disposed OF In
less time than It has FOR many years past. The
references OF the prime minister 10 foreign affairs
are considered on all hands extremely satisfactory.
He assured the house OF lords that he entirely
shares Bismarck's belief In maintaining peace, and
did so on the same ground OF belief that Russia
had no idea OF taking Illegal action respecting
Bulgaria The most Interesting feature OF the
proceedings In the house OF commons was Lord
kandolph Churchills notice OF a motion for the
appointment OF royal commission TO inquire into
alleged corruption OF TIT Metropolitan Board OF
WORKS This Is considered by his friends a radical
step. Another feature was the notice by Gen.
Goldworthy, conservative member from Hammer
smith, that he would call attention the state OF
Ireland, and move the abolition Of the once OF
lord lieutenant The intimation was loudly ap-
plauded by the opposition Mr.. Pyne, who stood
siege In his family castle In Ireland, and sue
cessfuiy evaded the police, had perfect ovation,
as dld also Gladstone, who was evidently In ex-
cellent form but was not disposed TO waste the
time OF the house on the antquated formality OF
