 LONDON, Feb. 3.-The cabinet sat for nearly three hours yesterday shaping the speech from the throne with which par lament will be opened on Tuesday. The unusual length of time spent over the document is attributed to 8 difference of opinion as to whether any reference should be made to the coming session as bringing the present parliament toward the close of its career. It was finally determined that nothing should be said on that subject. The speech opens with reference to the sympathy of the nation for the royal family over it's recent bereavement; al. ludes to the death of the khedive as not altering British relations with Egypt; refers to the continued prosperity of the country, and says there is no reason to fear that England will be ultimately affected by foreign tariff legislation, and congratu- lates the country upon the prospect of an early statement of the Behring sea dispute, and upon the Pacific aspect of foreign affairs generally. The speech mentions the Irish local government and educational bills as adding completeness to series of measures for securing order in and the welfare of Ireland. Other measures an- nounced are small holdings bill, dis trict councils bill, and bills to reform the India council and Scottish private legislation. This last meas- sure has importance bey yond it's applica- tion to Scotland as affirming and extend ing the principle of local self-government It proposes to remove Scotch private bills from the consideration of house of com mons committees to judicial committees sitting in certain districts in Scotland. The Archbishop of Canterbury has 8 cler- gy discipline bill which the government will support. This constitutes the busi- ness of the session. The leaders of the opposition do not intend to move any amendment to the address.
 MT. Gladstone will not appear in the house in the first week of the session. He has delegated to Sir William Vernon Hart court the task of questioning the govern ment as to it's intentions in regard to the dissolution of parliament. If the reply is indefinite MT. Gladstone will make the question the subject of a great party fight. A meeting of dissidents will be held Mon day, at which MT. Chamberlain will be formally accepted as leader in the house. No political section of the country is in more dismal condition than are the dissi- dents. The prospect of their extinction in the coming elections is increasing.
