The 0ueen,s Sneecl,.

LONDON, Feb. 9.-Parlament assembled
to-day. The Queens speech, opening the
session, was read by Royal Commission. In
it che states that her government continues
to receive from all the powers cordial assur-
ances of friendly sentiments as well as of an
earnest desire to maintain the peace of the
world. British officers in conjunction with
those of the Emperor OF Russia have com
pleted the demarcation of the Afghanistan
boundary in conformity with the terms of
the convention of 1887, and trusts the work
thus concluded may tend to remove the pos
sibiity of misunderstanding between the
two powers regarding their Asian posses.
sions. Animated by desire to prevent an
efiusion of blood she despatched mission
to the King of Abyssinia with the hope of
dissusding him from engaging in war with
Italy. She regrets that her efforts were not
successful. The deliberations of the con-
ference at Washington to adjust ques
lions which have arisen between Can
ada and America are still progressing.
The negotiations commenced 10 1886 in res
poet to the regulation of the Suez canal
have been brought to conclusion so far as
the points of difference between the Queen
and the French Republic are concerned.
The measures which at great labor were
passed last session for the benefit Of Ire
land have been carefully carried into effect
during tie period since elapsed. The result
of this legislation 30 fer as tested by this
short experience is satisfactory. Agraran
crime has diminished and the power of
coercive oonspiracies has sensib'y abated.

A Horse EPIDEMIC.

New YORK, Feb. "a disease resembling
diphtheria, which broke out among the
horses in this city about month ago, is
keeping the veterinary surgeons very busy.
It is in the nature of an epidemic, and there
is probably no large stable in town that has
not two or more cases of it. 1t invariably
proves fatal unless treated heroically In it's
incpient stages. Scores of animals have
died from it, and others are dying every
day. The greatest sufferers have been the
truckmen, who own only one or two horses,
and who have but poor accommodations for
them. There is disposition among board
ing and livery stable keepers to deny the
existence of, or to make..light of the disease
in order not to brighten their customers
But that it is widespread and dangerous may
be seen by the unusual number of carcasses
on the offal pier.

WANTS HIS SALARY.-The Court of APP
psals in the case of Shumate VS.. the Board
of Supervisors has issued rule returnable
on 21st day of February against the Board
of Supervisors of Fauquier county to show
cause why they have not paid Mir. Shumate
his salary as Judge after he had been re-.
moved from that position. The Warrenton
Virginiaa says: THE Court of Appeals has
already decided that the Legislature in de-
posing Judge Shumate acted within it's le-
Ultimate power. We apprehend therefore
that the Board of Supervisors will have little
difficulty in showing why they did not con.
tinue to pay Mr. Shumate after he ceased
to be Judge. Still they should employ COM
petent counsel to represent them and do it
without delay as we have no doubt they will
do when the rule Is served on them"
