tention Paid to Agriculturists.
LONDON, Feb. THE House OF Com
mons assembled at noon to-day and the de.
bate on the queens speech was resumed.
Mark J. Stewart, Scottish conservative,
who has large stock raising and agrioult-
ural interests, expressed dissatisfaction
with the scant reference to agriculture in
the address. he complained that the
United States and the colonies
we're able to send produce
to London cheaper than it could be sent
from Scotland, owing TO excessive railway
rates. Mr.. Stewart disavowed any purpose
to advocate protection for agricultural in
terests, but he did not approve that home
produce should be injured to the advantage
OF his foreign competitors. [Cries OF Hear,

The debate was on the whole dreary. 1t
was devoted chiefly TO the Scotch church
suspensory bill Several conservative and
liberal members attacked the proposed
measure, while Sir George o. Trevelyan,
secretary for Scotland, defended IL.
Several bills we're introduced and then

Mr. Gladstone was present at the session.
lie appeared bright and cheerful and his
efforts of yesterday at the opening Of par
lament seemed to have had no bad effect
upon him.
Arthur Wellesley Peel, speaker of the
House of Commons, has privately advised
conservative and unionIst leaders not to
move any amendment TO the address di-
recJly antagonistic to home rule. Such an
amendment, he urged, would be not only
unusual but also likely to bring on a home
rule debate before the submitting OF the
bill This advice probably will be fol-
lowed. 1t is now regarded as certain
that Mr.. Gladstone will not be
able to introduce his home rule bill next
Monday, as was his original intention.
There will be no opportunity probably for
the introduction Of the bill before Monday
week
The competition Of members for seats in
the gallery on the night of the introduction
OF the bill surpaSses all precedent. The
