new english CABINET.
1t Held Its First Meeting at
Noon Today.
THE QUEENS COMING SPEECH
Discussed-It Is an Important Docu-
ment Practically Opening a New
Chapter In the History Of the United
KipgdomThe Irish Question.


LONDON, March 8. The first cabinet
council under the presidency of Lord Rose
berry, was held at noon. The ministers
at the cabinet meeting today were
mainly occupied with draft
ing the Queen speech which is to be deliv-
cred upon the approaching opening of
Parliament. This speech, it is said, will
be most important document, as 1t will
practically open a new chapter in the his
tory of the United Kingdom. Her Majesty's
Irish subjects are probably more deeply
interested in the drafting OF this speech
than any other class OF subjects OF the
British crown.
1t is unfortunate at this critical period
In history that there should be dis
sensions in the Irish parliament
tary ranks, as even the Conservatives
admit that the constant and admira-
bly, conducted warfare waged
by the representatives of
the Irish people in Parliament has finally
resulted In practically convincing the
tories that Ireland must have Home Rule
In some shape or form.
So long as the Irish demands are refused
British legislation can only be te-
dious and unsatisfactory process and
the Irish parliamentary party, acting to-
gether, now hasit in its power to overturn
Lord Rosebery's government unless the
deal with the Unionists. which
would amount to completely drop
ping the home rule question. This,
1t is thought, Is not likely TO be possible,
and thus it is that the Irish
now hdve the best opportuni-
ties Of asserting their strength
and winning the measure Of self govern
ment to which all liberal minded men ad-
nit they are Justly entitled.
Consequently IL is hoped that wise
counsels will prevail and that personal
animosities and personal jealousies will
be promptly smothered and that Ireland's
representatives will act as a unit when
victory is almost within their grasp.

The seabrooke Opera Company.

Thomas @. seabrooke Opera Company
presenting "The Isle of Champagne" by
Charles A. Byrne and Louis Harrison, will
begin an engagement at the Providence
Opera House, next Monday for three
nights and Wednesday matinee. The
conception OF the opera is a
whimsical one, and whimsical are
the names OF the characters and the set
ting ofthe piece. A particularly Inviting
idea TO the bibulously inclined is that on
which the opera is based. Imagine an
island where nothing but cham
payne is to be had to drink,
where large cold bottles are to be
found on every hand, and naught but
the pop OF the cork and the fizg OF the
wine is heard in the land. Ashipwrecked
crew brings water TO this tipper's Utopia,
and the inhabitants become addicted 20 its
use, except KingPommerySecond. This, In
brief, is the main theme OF the plot. "The
Isle OF Chamapne' Is sparkling and effer-
vescent throughout, and the laughter is
incossant. The opera will be presented with
n fine cast, new costumes and scenery.
