fore the prorogation Of Parliament eff
iected their object aud do not sec any
ground for apprehending q renewal OF
the disturbance in the neighborhood OF
suRkim. The negotiations which | d.
rected to be opened with Thibst for the
prevention OF encroachment upon my
right OF over Suakim, have not been
brought to q favorable conclusion, but 1
hope that further military operations
will not be necessary,
Ihave consented to take part In a con-
sented to take part in n conference with
Germany and America at Berlin upon
the Samoan question. This will be q
continuation OF the conference recently
held In Washington on the same sub
jeCt.
Gentlemen OF the House Of Commons:
The unceasing expenditures upon war
like preparationsin sincurred by other Euro
pean nations has rendered necessary IN
Increase in the precautions hitherto
taken for the safety OF our stores and
commerce.
The counsels by which other powers
are guided, and which dispose Of their
vast forces are at present uniformly
friendly TO England, but have no right
TO assume that this condition Is neces.
sarily secure from the possibility OF
change.
My Lords and gentlemen, some por-
tions OF the bill presented In 1868 for
amending local government In England
and Wales were laid aside owing to
pressure upon the time OF Parliament.
From the same cause II was impossible
to enter upon the question OF local gov
eminent in Scotland. Bills upon these
matters will be submitted.
Early In the session your attention
will be asked to. measures for the deYGl-
opment OF the material resources OF lro-
land and for amending the constitution
OF the various tribunals having special
Jurisdiction over real property In lrc-
land. The statutes recently passed for
the restoration OF order and confidence
in ireland have already been attended
with salutary results.
Legislation will be necessary for the
execution OF the sugar convention, and
also for the completion oil the conYer-
sion OF the three per cent annuities.
The state Of the gold coinage has for
years past been the subject Of legitimate
complaint, and q measure restoring II TO
a satisfactory condition will be sub
mitted.
Though the commission appointed to
inquire into the civil establishments OF
the Kingdom has not yet completed its
labors, 1t has made valuable report.
Proposals for legislation arising there
from will be submitted. Several sub
jects which the increasing burden Of
your duties shut out from consideration
during the last session will be submitted
again. Among them arc measures re-
lating to titles, regulating the uniyersi-
ties OF Scotland, determining the liabil-
ity OF employers in case OF accident to
employees, establishing q Department Of
Agriculture, cheapening the transfer OF
land and remedyine tho abuses attach
ing to the limited liability Of joint stock
