The Queens Speech says IT'S Unnecessary
to RomaIn In Session.
LONDON, August s.-The formalities
Of organizing the house Of commons
we're completed last week and this
morning when the house mot the n1em-
bers were summoned to the house OF
lords where thc speech from tho throne,
opening the twenty.fith imperial Par
lament OF Queen Victoria, was read.
The speech informed her majesty's
lords and gentlemen that by command
Of her majesty the present Parlia-
ment has been assembled in obedience
to the terms OF her maiesty's proclalpa-
ton OF Juno %, by which the late Par
lament was dissolved. Previous 70 that
dissolution, the speech added, the busi-
ness OF the session was completed; +;
therefore it is lotnecessarry for Parlia.
ment now TO continue itg session until
the annual period Of the year for the
transaction OF financial or legislative
business. Hor majesty expressed the
hope that whom Parliament meets again
at the customary season II will again
direct attention 10 measures OF social
and domestic improvement and that 1t
will continue to advance in the path OF
usual and beneiicient legislation which
has been 80 judiciously followed at the
previous sessions.
Before tho opening OF the debate on
the address in reply TO the speech from
the throne, Mr. Gladstone entered the
house and took the usual oath admin
tered to members He was tho recip-
lent Of hearty cheers from his supper
ters.
Neither the speech of Mr.. Barton in
moving the address, nor that OF Mr..
Cross, who seconded the address, at
tracted any attention. Tho house was
listless until Mr.. Herbert Horny AS
quith, Gladstonian member for the east
division OF Fifeshire, arose to move the
amendment declaring that the house
had no fidence in the government. He
was greeted with loud and prolonged
cheering by the Liberals.
Mr.. Asquith declared that Parliament
had met for the obsequies OF dead ma
iority, The house ought not to daily
over practical question, but should as
speedily as possible, place in power o
government representing the decision
OF the country as expressedat the polls.
Mr.. Thomas Burt (Gladstonian) mem-
ber for Northpeth, secretary OF the
Northumberland Miners' Mutual Asso-
citation, seconded the no confidence
amendment. He. contended that tho
question Of home rule for Ireland must
dominate all other questions TO which
the Liberal party was pledged.
The Right Honorable George ].
Goschen, chancellor OF the exchequer,
said he hoped the house would at last
hear something about home rule.
Mr.. Gladstone, he declaredT could no
longer shirk explaining his home rule
scheme, nor could Sir William Fernon
Harcourt evade unpleasant questions by
going out OF the house instead OF re-
spending to them.
Mr.. Justin Mccarthy said that the
Irish party expected that coercion
would cease when the Liberals came
into power. II the Liberal home rule
bill did not satisfy the people Of Ire
beloved in the sincerity of the Liberal
assurances that the home rule bill
would be kept in the front Of their legis!
lation.
Mr.. John Redmond said he would
support Mr.. Asquith because he con-
sidered it the duty OF every Irish mem.
ber to assist in ousting the present gov
ernment regardless OF the; question
whether they were likely tofare better
at the hands Of its successor.
In the house of.lords tho Earl Of Dem
bigh moved and the Earl OF Powis sec
onded the address in reply to the
speech from the throne. The. Earl OF
Kimberly complained that this was the
first occasion that no policy had been
shown in the speech from the throne.
There was nothing in the speech, he
declared, that could be criticised.
Lord Salisbury admitted that the
speech was like sealed envelope put
into the hands of q preacher going
into the pulpit and when opened
found to contain nothing. The gov
ernment had no measure to pre-
sent TO parliament. He confessed that
he had been disposed to abandon the
speech altogether, but found, owing to
the conservation OF the opposition,
that could only be done by general con-
sent They had now arrived at stage
whore the house OF commons was exer-
cising a prerogative peculiarly its own,
Of selecting men whose measures would
como afterwards.
