PARLIAMENT PROROGUED.
Outside Of the Cabinet changes the princi-
pal event In English politics to-day was yhe
proroguing Of Parliament. The Queens
speech was purely formal, only fifteen lines
in length, and began: Upon this oc-
CASTOR, when yolr labors have been UNI
precedented in amount and duration, re-
greet that your release from them Will be
little more than nominal" The Queen
then thanked the Commons for the sup
plies granted and concluded with the re-
mark that she anticipated lasting advant-
ages from the laws enacted.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt, Chancellor
of the EXchequer, to-day assumed the LIB
eral leadership of the House of Commons
amid enthusiastic cheers from the Liberal
bench When the Speaker, the Right Hon.
Arthur Wellesley Peele. and the members of
the House of Commons were summoned to
queens speech, Mr. Henry Labouchere
and a few Radicals remained behind. There
were many ladies present in the galleries
government bill. The Queens speech was
then read and the Lords adjourned. Later
Commons and that body adjourned.
Interest now seems to center in the at
titude of the Parnellite party, as the posi-
ton of the MeCarthytes is said to be set
tied; they will rely upon the government
to give proper attention TO Irish legislation
in course of time The followers of La
very Insignificant number: in fact. II is
claimed that the distinguished Radical has
now only two followers. The Parnellites
who. it is said. would go with the Radi-
calls, are more numerous, but Mr.. John
Redmond. their leader, adroitly refuses to
mains master of the situation.
The st. James Gazette gives prominence
ne fa reunion is p be-
Unionist leaders. 1t is understood that
there is a possibility that the latter may
come TO some agreement with the new
Premier in regard to Ireland. Lord Rose
berry is said to have already entered into
shire and with Me Right Hon. Joseph
Chamberlain in rtgard to the new UNDER
standing.
At the annual meeting, this evening, of
the council of the London Liberal Radical
Union. Mr. James Stuart, NJ p, Radical
and home ruler, proposed resolution of
regret at the resignation of Mr.. Gladstone
and expressing confidence in Lord Rose
berry and Sir William Harcourt, and setting
forth that it was the belief of the union
that they would faithfully endeayor to
carry out the Newcastle programme and
give prompt effect to Mr. Gladstone's dec
laration of war against the House of Lords.
Mr.. George Howell, NJ. p, an advanced Lib
eral, in favor of home rule, seconded the
resolution, but he said he did so with regret
because he thought, with Others that Mr..
Gladstone had been bounded out of polit-
| ical life. Cries of 'Oh!O Mr. Howell said
| II was useless to disguise matters, but the
superstition was that the ''old lady of Wind
sor'' (hisses and ''ohsi' and some of his
own colleagues had not been as strong as
they might in keeping the grand nd man
at his post The Liberal Radical party
They ought to bear that in mind when dis
GUESSING the claims of rival candidates for
the premiership. Another speaker declared
that tho Queen had influenced Mr. Gladstone
to be Premier before he married a princess,
this being a reference to the rumor cir
culated some time ago that Lord Rosebery
would marry daughter of the Prince of
Wales. More 'Ohs" greeted this remark
and the resolution of Mr.. Stuart was then
adopted.
