ness in his testimony concerning his talk
with Mr.. Halstead, and pressed him to
tell why he had not told Mr.. Halstead
there was another paper he had seen in
the hands Of 7, c. Campbell.
Mr.. Haddon replied that he had sew
eral reasons for not letting MIR. Halstead

LONDON, Feb. 13.-Parliament was
opened Tuesday, and the queens speech
was read from the throne by the lord
high chancellor. The speech opens with
a reference to the relations between her
najesty's government and the other
powers, which are declared to be of a
most friendly nature. Referring to the
recent imbrogfio with Portugal, her
majesty says:
Portugal has now, at my request,
promised to withdraw the military from
the territory in question"
Her majesty expresses an earnest hope
that the anti-slavery congress al Brussels
will advance the great cause for which it
was assembled.
The Samoan treaty. together with the
protocols, will be submitted to parlia.
ment for its consideration. as also will be
the extradition treaty with the United
States. Her majesty then says:
81 await with lively interest the result
of the Australian federation conference.
Any well considered measure bringing
these colonies into closer union will in
crease their welfare and strength and
will receive my favorable consideration.
The continued improvement in the
condition of affairs in Ireland and the
further diminution of agarian crime has
made it possible to very largely restrict
the area where it is necessary to deal
with certain offenses by summary
process.
Proposals for increasing, under due
financial speculation. the number of oc-
cupying owners of land in Ireland, and
for extending to ireland the principles
of local self government which have
already been adopted in England and
Scotland, SO far as they are applicable to
