'In the discharge of the arduous
duties assigned you. commend you to
the guidance of Almighty God"
Mr.. Slaney moved resolution simply
thanking the Queen for the speech ad-
dressed by Her Majesty to Parliament.
Mr.. Fulton Conservative seconded
the motion. Mr.. Glanstone said the
change in the form Of the address 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 in the speech
from the throne, he felt that the diff
Guilty of thus confining the debate had
been greatly increased by Mr..
Smiths announcement of the govern
ment's intention to take the whole
time Of the House until the government
bills were read second time. Many
members would not be willing to permit
their former privileges to be so curtai-
ed. Moreover, the government had
avoided reference to some important
matters. Was the House TO understand
that there existed nothing in the differ
ence in the United States regarding
Behring sea that was likely to interfere
with the continued existence Of the
friendliest relations with their kith and
kin across the Atlantic? Ought recent
events in the Turkish Empire even
these had made deep impression on
the mind and heart of the conntry-to
be treated with silence. Although he
did not expect to find in the speech from
the throne any reference TO the painful
statements that had been made regarding
the Emin Relief Expedition, he desired to
know whether the relations OF the gov
ernment toward the expedition had
been such rs to make it the duty OF the
ministry to take steps to ascertin what
truth there was in the statements that
compromised the reputation of the Eng
liSh people for humanity. Referring
to Ireland, Mr.. 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
necessary to compliment the cause of
the improvement, whereon 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 position of
no responsibility regarding them. They
were told that the ministry had pre-
pared bill proposing local government
for Ireland. Would that consoling as
surance satisfy the country? Was the
House prepared 10 wait indefinitely
upon the convenience OF the govern
ment in order to learn how they intended
10 deal with the greatest question Of the
day? Cries of Hear, Hear'')
Mr.. Smith declared that the govern
ment had the strongest hopes that the
Behring Sea negotiations would prove
successful. Regarding the distress in
Ireland ample measures would be taken
10 meet the trouble and care for the peo-
pie in every district.
In the House of Lords this evening
Baron Windsor, Conservative, moved an
address in reply to the speech from the
throne, and Baron Ardilant, Conserva
tive, seconded the motion. The latter
as an Irish landlord said "Many land
lords would doubtless be compelled TO
leave the country unless they were
enabled to sell their land
but as class they desired
to live in Ireland.
Earl Granville (LiberaD said: Though
all reference to the new American tariff
law had been avoided in the speech
from the throne, he must express the
regret or the Liberals at the stand taken
by the Americans in favor Of prohibi-
| tive tariffs, which would give rise TO an
enormous amount of smuggling.
Regarding the Mckinley tariff law
Lord Salisbury would not say that Eng
lands trade with Africa and the colonies
would Immediately compensate her for
the loss caused by the American tariff.
In regard to the troubles at Tipperary,
Lord Salisbury approved Mr.. Balfour's
denunciation of Mr.. Morley.
Mr., Balfour announced that he would
reintroduce the Irish land bill on
Thursday next.
Mr.. w. ii. Smith, the government
leader, intimatcd that the government
would take the whole time Of the House
until the leading bills were read second
time. He said the government did not
intend to appoint commission to in
quire into the Emn relief expedition.
The ministry, he added, was in no sense
responsible for the selection on Stan
ley's staff.
Mr.. Parnell, subsequently to his re-
election to the Irish leadership had a
conference with Mr.. John Morley and
Sir Charles Russell. Notwithstanding
his endorsement by the Nationalist
party, Mr.. Parnell may for time with
draw from Parliament.
