LONDON, Aug. o.-In the House ol
Lords yestsrday the Earl OF Denbigh
moved, and the Earl OF Powis secon ded
the address In reply to the speech from
the throne.
The Earl of Kimberley complained tha,
this was the frst occasion that no policy
had been shadowed In the speech from
the throne. He hoped the Liberal gov.
srnment would rsceive the generous
assistance In its foreign policy that the
Liberals had accorded the Conservative
Lord Salisbury said the government
had no measures to present to Pariia-
ment. He confessed that he had been
disposed TO abandon the speech alto-
gethsr, but found, owing TO the conser-
vatism of the opposition, that that could
only be done by general consent. They
had now arrived at a stage where the
rogative peculiarly it's own, OF selecting
men whose measures would come after
wards. Laughter.l
When these men were adopted by the
House of Commons, then tne House OF
Peers would share with the other House
the responsibility for their measures.
When these '1 %sssarss ~ a;.P sFs presented to

to be given to the opinions prevailing In
the other House. In declaring that the
country had no confidence in the govern
ment, the Liberal LEADERS ought to ex-
plain tho policy they would adopt II re-
turned to power. Did the Liberals pos

would at all events hold Office till 1t be-
came certain that the various sections OF
the position would combine to maintain
. new government. (Hear, hear).
Proceeding to comment upon the prob
able Liberal foreign policy, he specially
urged upon the Liberals the necessity OF
declaring whether or not they designed
an early evacuation of Egypt.
Lord Herschell held that no declaration
of policy coming from the Liberal gov
ernment ought to be given until the
Liberal government was constituted.
The address was approved.
Justin Mccarthy said the Irish party
expected coercion would cease when the
Liberals came into power. II the Liberal
governments Home Rule bill did not
satisfy the people OF Ireland there would
be no end OF IL.
John Redmond said IL was the duty Of
every Irish member to assist In ousting
the present government. He would not
consent to any policy placing Home
Rule In the second rank He could not
support any measure looking to a re-dis-
tribution of political power impairing
the influence oi Ireland.
