CWCAGo Feb. IA conference Of
great Importance was held here today be-
tween two Chinese diguitaries and the
representatives of the machinery firm of
Frazer \ Chalmers. of this city The re-
suit was that negotiations We're formally
entered into looking TO the construction
OF a 500. stamp mill in the mountains of
China. The magnitude of the deal may
be understood when it is stated that the
mill set up complete will cost nearly four
million dollars, this including transporta-
ton, erection, skilled labor, etc, The
Chinese informed them that there had been
discovered the richest and most extensive
gold bearing lead in the world, The
Chinese for many years have known that
in the mountains of Tai Shan in the PROV
lnce os Shan Iung there has been gold,
but not until a year ago did they realize
the extent of it, when some one who had
worked in the mines and mills in Cali
foruia began prospecting ard discovered
the bonanza. They erected u rude mill
and from the outset the production of
gold was enormous They claim that not
a ton of ore taken out has yielded less than
500, while much of it has run into the
thousands. Matters was kept quiet and
big stock company formed that secured
control of about so miles of land In the
vicinity and the two Cinnamon now here,
were sent TO this country to make prelim-
mary arrangements for the purchase of
machinery, etc, and also 20 float a certain
portion of the stock Gnu Ling Cwan and
Sing kou landed in San Francisco two
months ago and had no difficulty in dis
posing of stock to wealthy Cinnamon in
that city. From here they have gone to
Washington. In I'm interview one of them
said that the gold property is on PENN
oula, across the Corean sea from the penin-
sula of Corea, and directly west
LONDON, Feb. ll.-One section of the
queens speech read at the opening Of
parliament today, causes a profound SEN
sation. 1t is that relating to affairs in
Ireland in which the statement is made
that affairs in the little isle are in such
condition that steps may be taken 10 eX-
tend to the people of Ireland the privilege
of local self-QOyemment rs now enjoyed
by the people of England and Scotland.
This concession to the home rulers was
unexpected, and was received with express
sons Of pleasure.
The opening Of parliament to-day was
shorn of much Of It's usual pomp and cere-
mony by the absence Of Queen Victoria,
who, although urgently pressed by the
marquis of Salisbury TO greet her faith
full lords and commons in person, en-
phatically declined on the ground that
the condition of her health and the
prevalence of the grip made it impossi-
costume Notwithstanding her abb
scnce however, there was a
brilliant attendance in the galleries
allotted to the diplomats aud ladies' while
the usual large crowd of representatives of
the great unwashed was assembled ont IN
Westminster yard. Mr.. Gladstone was
one of the first TO arrive, and as the grand
old man, tall and erect, and with a firm
step that failed to betray the fact that he
had Just passed his S0th birthday, passed
through the iron gates, mighty cheer
went up from the throng, aud was echoed
by the members gathered in the lobby.
Mr.. Parnel who looked pale and care
worn, was greeted with a
sympathetic cheer by his colleagues
which doubtless had a hidden reference
TO the troubles in which he has been IN
yoved by Capt 0'Shea. The benches on
both sides filed up rapidly, and it was soon
seen that the urgent appeals of the whips
had resulted in one of the largest open
ing houses Of recent years. The house Of
commons had barely been called TO order
when the Black Rod appeared 10 summon
the members Of the house of lords when
the lord chancellor, in his robes Of ermine,
read the queens speech from the steps Of
the throne II was in part as follows;
My LORDS AND GENTLEmAN: My rela-
tioDs with the other powers continue
friendly. An armed force under Portu-
Uuese officer entered a territory where
British settlements had been formed and
where there are tribes who had been taken
under my protection A collision with the
natives resulted. Portugal has now, at
my request, promised TO withdraw the
military from the territory IN question.
The Samoan treaty, together with the
protocols, will be submitted TO parliament
for It's consideration, as will also be the
extradiiion treaty with the United States.

diti0n of affairs in Ireland and the further

precaution, the number Of occupying own

Ireland the principles Of local self govern

England and Scotland so far rs they are
