and hopeful reference made 10 the future of
commerce between the united kingdom and
| the colonies.
CHALLENGE To THE OPPOSITION.
Bland as the phrasing Of the speech is said 10
be, not an announcement in it but means a chal-
lenge to the opposition. Lord Salisbury and
his late colleagues have been in conference and
have determined. in conjunction with the Dnk.
| OF Devonshire and Mr.. Chamberlain. 10 open a
| war outrance upon the government, without
\ Delay. 10th the ministerialists and the oppo-
sition take the government program not 80
much as an invitation to actual work in parlia-
ment as an electoral platform for the neat Ap-
| peal TO the court.
SO the unionists have determined that even
al tne risk OF forcing dissolution. which they
would regard as inopportune, they must COM
bat the government at every point.
THE DEBATE
The debate on the address will tristle with
amendments
Mr.. Chamberlain will raise at once the home
rule question by an amendment denving th.
advisaoility OF separate Irish Legislature MIR
| Labouchere threatens amendments on the re-
| tennon OF Uganda and the continued occupa-
| ton OF Egypt
Mr.. John Redmond has his motion as 20 Irish
/ prisoners and Mr.. James Lowther an amend
ment regarding destitute aliens
Mr.. heir Hardie wants to condemn the gov
! ernment as overlooking the claims of the labor
| party, and the publicans' friends in the house,
sun powerful section. will prepare an amend
I ment protesting against interference with their
vested rights.
| THE HOME RULE BILL
| Sniess tue house grows nerce with impatienco
II will have some three weeks palaver 90 GO
through with before Mr.. Gladstone can get an
| opportunity Of introducing has home rule bin.
Messrs. Mccarthy, Sexton and Dillon have in q
hesitant way approved the clause in the home
rule bill reserving the control OF the land quss-
ton to the imperial parliament for fixed NUM-
Der of years.
But they differ with Mr.. Gladstone as 10 the
period during which the Irish legislature has %
walt. Mr.. Gladstone proposes ten years The
Irish leaders think five too long and demand
| three, with further advances from the imperial
| exchequer under the land purchase act 80 Ne to
/ reconcile their constituents TO any delay what
ever.
Ii is doubtful whether Mr. Gladstone will ba
able to get the bulk Of his supporters in the
house to assent to any further grant and tn.
| Irish members will reject the clause without It's
financial appendix Ii will thus be seen that
while the proposal may not absolutely wreck
the bill, Il win further add peril TO it's passage
AT OSBORNE HOUSE.

| council and secretary Of state for India; sir
VIM. Vernon Harcourt, chancellor Of the ex-
