LONDON, Dec. 3.-AltRough the opening
OF Parliament Is still eight weeks distant
the Conservative party is already on the
scene with three amendments to the ad-
dress in reply to the speech from the
throne. One amendment attacks the
Irish evicted tenants commission; another
relates to the distress of the agricultural
classes, and the third relates to the waver-
ing policy OF the government with regard
to Uganda. Besides these are other
amendments under discussion.
1t is evident that the object Is to
strengthen the strength Of the govern
ment. A prominent Liberal member OF
Parliament said yesterday: "We expect
the warmest time any Parliament has seen
since the discussion of the Reform bill OF
1882"
The relations between the parties are so
embitte.ed that the party "whips" de-
cline te try to arrange pairs. The result
Will br that every member Will be
Kept In Constant Attendance
In che House of Commons for fear the
governments narrow majority may be
submerged by some snatch vote. The
ministeialists, however, continue to be
confident OF weat herring the divisions on
the address, and even hopeful OF passing
the Home Rule bill. Inquiries regarding
the bogus Home Rule scheme pu blished in
America have served to disclose the solid
confidence Of the Irish leaders in Mr..
Gladstone, and absolute unity OF policy
among the McCarthyites.
The Conservatives intend to introduce a
bill making 1t Illegal for priests to act as
agents for illiJerates or otherwise at poll
ing stations. The Parnellites are counted
upon to support the bill.
Another trouble before the government
Is the renewed agitation OF Irish tenant
farmers for abatement OF the judicial
rents fixed four years ago. The tenants
declare that the fall in the prices OF live
stock and OF farm products generally
makes revision OF rents imperative. The
government will ask Parliament to re-
mission TO reduce rents In the ratio OF the
decline of agricultural products.
News Notes.
The announcement OF the death Of Jay
Gould stirred the pulses of dealers both
inside and outside of the London Stock
Exchange. Business was interrupted by
members grouping to talk OF Mr.. Gould
and the bearing of his death on the Gould
stocks. A mob Of people blocked the ap-
proaches to the exchange, all talking on
the same theme.
The well-known Clyde yacht builder,
Mr.. Fife, of Fairlio, is mentioned as the
builder of Lord Dunraven's new yacht
Valkyrie.
At meeting of Clyde yacht owners in
Glasgow il was resolved that the yacht
racing association had been hasty in re-
jecting the proposal to make a lighter tax
upon the sail area In order to approach
nearer to the American measurement.
