having used the Crown prcrogative for political
purposes.
Mr.. Gladstone cheered loudly when he rose
to answer Mr.. Bafour. lie had noticed. he said.
that with the continued growth of legislative ar
rears, the eagerness of the country for vigorous
legislation increased lie had decided to lose no
time. therefore, in satisfying this eagerness lie
would secure the appointment of Royal Com
mission TO inquire into the Welsh land question
The suspensory bills would quicken, he believed,
the activity of the Churches of Wales and
Scotland
lie rcproached Mr.. Balfour for assaing with
infiammatory criticism bill not yet introduced,
and for doing his utmost TO prejudice the minds
Of his followers against a plan of Home Rule Of
which lie was still ignorant Mr.. Balfour had
asked when there was an empire which had been
strengthened by the adoption of local autonomy.
Mr.. Gladstone replied that, as Lord Salisbury had
done several years ago, he would point TO Aus
tria-Ilungary illustration applicable TO the
case of Great Britain and Ireland. He would
also point TO the British colonies, which sixty
years ago were ruled from London, but demanded
separation until self-govcrnment finally
granted lie would not reply to Mr.. Balfours
invcctive against Mr.. Morlcys administration Of
cemency had been simultaneous with great de-
crease of agrarian crime. Mr.. BalfourS attack
upcn the Evictcd Tenants Commission rccoiled
upon himself Why aid he not wait until the
commissions proposals came before the House,
when he could urge his objections with greater
force
The Mission to Uganda was necessary in order
that an impartial and thorough inquiry might
be made into affairs there. The result OF thlS
inouiry would enable the Government TO arrive
at a rational decision. Those who wished 10
wash their hands of Uganda forgot the charters
and other obligations which they would thereby
involve He did not believe that nn HIS long
Parliamentary career he had ever uttered words
20 rash and dangerous as were those uttereu py
Mr. Balfour concerning the difficulties in Egypt
These words had seemed TO suggest that the "oV-
crnmept would lose no time in getting out oil
Egypt
Mr. Balfour rose and repudiated the charge
that he had suggested the probability of hasty
evacuation.
Ipon rcsuming his speech Mr.. Gladstone said
that the Government had 10 consider not the
question Of occupation, but merely the malntcn-
ance of order The relations of the Two Hovcrn-
ments had now been placed on satisfactory 1901
ing and further trouble was not apprehendcn'
In conclusion Mr.. Gladstone repeated his appeal
70 the House not to be moved by premature dcnun-
ciations of the Homo Rule bill. He could under
stand the impatcnce of the members If they dis
covered any disposition TO delay the nis DIV
rlch did not exist. II surely would be better Tor
all 10 wait and give the provisions of the bill
their full careful, deliberate perhaps cam' I'M
partial even benevolent Judgment.
After MIR. Gadstone's speech the House ad-
journed.
In the House of Lords several new peers, IN
cludjnc Lord Playfair took the oath. The Prince
of Wales and his son, the Duke OF York, had seats
an the cross bench They remained through part
of the debate on the address ir reply to the
Queens speech.
Lord Brassy moved the adoption Of the address
His motion was seconded by Lord Iming Doth
mover and seconder spoke in general terms in sup
port of the Government. Lord Thring, who for
many years before his election TO the pccrase IN
1886 had been Parliamentary Counsel, made an
effective allusion 10 the Home Rule bill oil 1886.
which, he said he had prepared con amore, ana
not as a mere official duty. Before receiving In
structions from Mr. Gladstone regarding tho
measure he had arrived at an Independent con-
clusion that Home Rule was the only remedy for
the troubles in Ireland. Though old man, he
supposed lie had been selected 10 support the ad-
dress in reply to the Qucens speech on accoun:
Of his knowledge Of the subject Lord lhrlng
remarks were greeted with cheers from the
Liberals.
Lord Salisbury, who today appeared in oppo-
sition, after compimcnting Lord Thring said he
declined TO question the foreign policy of the Gov
crpment So far as could be known, in the alb
sence of official papers, the policy Of the new
Ministry seemed to be founded on sound princl-
pie and TO be executed with judgment and skin.

British troops, but this in no wise modilcd 'he

Toucbnc upon the question of Home Rule for
Ireland. Lord Salisbury said that the one object
of the Government during the last six months
had been TO get the support of class Of men
whom hitherto no politicians in England had to
conciljatc The keynote of the Irish policy OF
the Government was to get the support ol 'he
criminal classes The provisions necessary 10
maintain the law had been repealed Though
aorarian crime was not prevalent generally, yet
in districts where it did prevail the hand, of the
law were paralyzcd. Conservative cheers Inc
prcrooativc of the Crown had been used to shield
murdercrs and release dynamtcrs. All the acts
of the Government caused the impression that
they were much more in sympathy with criminals
than dcsirous of vndicating the law (Crles OF
