LONDON, Nov. 25.-Tbere was a full
attendance at the opening session of the
house of commons. MIR. Parnell was
present and took the seat he usually
occupies. but soon retired TO the lobby.
When the deputy speaker read letters
announcing the conviction of Messrs.
Dillon and O,Brien of melting the ten
ants on the Smith-Barry estate in Ire
land to refuse to rent, Mr. Parnell re
appeared and, from the extreme end of
the benches, below the gangway,
pushed his way forward to seat on the
third bench. Mr.. Sexton sat on his
right and Mr.. Mccarthy on his left and
the three conversed. Shortly after Mr..
tered the house and was greeted with
loud cheers. Among those who
greeted Mr.. Parnell as he made
his way to his place in
the house of commons was Jacob Bright,
who rose from his seat as Parnell APP
preached and shook the Irish leader by
the hand. w. I'll. Smith. the govern
ment leader, intimated that the govern
ment would take the whole time of the
house until the leading bills were read
a second time. He said the government
did not intend to appoint commits
sion to inquire into the Emin relief eX-
petition. The ministry, he added, was
in no sense responsible for the selection
of SANKEY'S staff. After the reading of
the queens speech, Mr.. Balfour gave
notice that he would introduce four
bills relating to Ireland. Mr.. Gladstone
gave notice of the Introduction of bill
to remove the disability which prevents
Catholics from occupying the offices
of lord chancellor of England
and lord lieutenant of Ireland.
Mr.. Slaney moved resolution simply
thanking the queen for the speech adj
dressed by her majesty to parliament.
Mr.. Fulton. Conservative, seconded the
motion. Mr.. Gladstone said the change
in the form of the address in reply to
the queens speech appeared to proceed
from the assumption that only single
amendment could be moved on the new
form. Anxious as he was to expedite
business by preventing the discussion
of topics not mentioned i'll the speech
from the throne. he felt that the diff
Guilty of thus combining the debate had
been greatly increased by Mr.. Smiths
announcement of the governments in
tention to take the whole time of the
read second time. Many members
would not be willing to permit their
former privileges to be so curtailed.
Moreover, the government had avoided
reference to
Some Important Matters.
Was the house to understand that
there existed nothigg in the differences
with the United States regarding Behr-
ing sea that was likely to interfere
with the continued existence of the
friendliest relations with their kith and
kin across the Atlantlc2 Ought recent
events in the Turkish empire-events
that had made deep impression upon
the mind and heart of the country-to
be treated with silence? Although he
did not expect to find i'll the speech
from the throne any reference to pain
full statements that had been made re-
garding the Emin relief expedition, he
desired to know whether the relations
peditiOn had been such as to
make it the duty OF the ministry
to take steps to ascertain what
truth there was in statements
that compromised the reputation of the
English people for humanity. Referring
to Ireland, mir. Gladstone said it was
unfortunate that the government was
not content with inserting in the speech
words stating the improved condition of
the country, but likewise thought it nee
esSary to compliment itself about
the cause of the Improvement, wherein
members of the opposition were bound
to express dissent. The list of measures
which had been put as postscript to
the speech placed the government in a
position of no responsibility regarding
them. They were told that the ministry
had prepared bill proposing local gov
eminent for Ireland. Would that con-
SOling assurance satisfy the country?
Was the house prepared to wait indefin-
itely upon the convenience of the govern
ment in order to learn how thew in
tended to deal with the greatest question
of the day? Mr.. Smith, replying to Mr..
Gladstone, declared that the govern
ment had the strongest hopes that the
Behring sea negotiations would prove
successful. He knew no reason for APP
pretending any difficulty in the matter.
The government Sympathized with the
prosecuted people of the Turkish en-
pire, and took what measures were
practicable to abate their SufferingS. In
regard TO the Emin relief expedition,
the government had no right to insti-
tute an inquiry, as the expedition was a
purely voluntary undertaking. Regard
ing the distress in Ireland, ample meas
ureS would be taken to meet the trouble
and care for the people in every dis
trict. MIR. Morley lntimated that he
would introduce motion concerning
recent events in Tipperary, and Mr..
would be given for full discussion of
the subject.
ParneIl Still Chairman.
A meeting of the Irish Home Rule
members of parliament was held to-day
before the opening of the session of the
house of commons. Mr.. Parnell was
present. He was loudly cheered as he
entered the room. A motion was made
that Mr.. Parnell be reelected chair
man of the Irish parliamentary party.
1t was carried unanimously. 1t is an
nounced that MI. Parnell will retain
the leadership at the express desire of
his followers. Mr.. Parnell made an adj
dress to the meeting in which he
thanked his followers for his re-elec-
ton. He said it was for the
Irish members to decide whether
he should lead them. If their
decision had been a negative one
or there heen any diversity of opinion |
among them he would cheerfully have |
Withdrawn from public life. Nothing |
but the conviction that his colleagues |
desired to still utilize his services in |
their common cause induced him to re- |
sumo a position which, under his altered |
exposed him and them, |
through him. to the attacks of their OPP
pOnents. The press association states |
that if Mr.. Parnell persists in retaining |
the public leadership of the Irish party, |
Mr.. Gladstone will refuse to counte-
nance any amendments to the address
in reply to the queens speech, aud will
return to Hawarden and !
not appear in parliament until after the
Christmas holidays.
