uGNIFICAiNT REMARKS OF THE
MARQUIS OF QUEENSBURY ON
TURKISH MISRULE.
THEY ARE HIGHLY COMMENDED
BY THE PRESS.
Henry NJ. Stanley Met With a Warm
Reception When He Took His
Seat in Parliament-Other
Items of Interest.

of the new parliament have been marked
nv several features of note, The most
prominent of them being the utter want
of color in the queens speech, the re-
marks of the Marquis of Salisbury in re-
ply to Lord Rosebery in the house of
lords after the address in reply to the
queens speech, approving of its inten-
lions had been moved, and the suspension
of DIR. Chas. Tanner for extraordinary
conduct in the house of commons, during
which the latter gave the lie to Mr..
Timothy Harrington, who had observed
that the Liberal party fled from home
rule.
Naturally, the remarks of The Marquis
of Salisbury on foreign affairs attracted
the most attention. and they nave given
general satisfaction. Their most impor-
tant feature, most warmly applanded, was
the serious warning which the British
premier gave the sultan of Turkey. The
Marquis of Queensbury said:
with respect Ito Armenia, we have
accepted the policy which our predeces-
sors initiated and our efforts will be
directed to obtaining an adequate guar
antee for the carrying out of reform.
We have received a most loyal support
from both France and Russia. The per-
manence of the sultan's rule is involved
in the conduct he purSues. If the cries
of misery continue the sultan must realize
that Europe will become weary of ap-
peals, and the fictitious strength which
the powers have given the empire will
fail it.
"The sultan will make a .,alamitous
mistake If he refuses to accept the adj
1,;oo of thn EnrOnnoD pf,atiua 10
reforms"
These remarks have drawn forth strong
concentrations from the Conservative
press and in political circles the feeling
prevails that THE sultan was flattering
himself with the belief that the change
in the British government would be to
his advantage and that in the Marquis
of Salisbury he would find a Staunch and
unconditional ally. But the direct and
used on Thursday evening can not fail
to disabuse the sultan's mind of such an
idea, and it is for this reason the speech
has made the best impression here This
was the gist of the comments in the lobby
after the speeches had been delivered.
The Marquis of Salisbury's statement
in regard to China, however, was less
well received and it was thought that
his language was not strong enough and
the Chinese government to punish the
culprits
The Marquis of Salisbury in this con-
nection remarked
There is every reason to believe that
the Chinese government is sincerely de-
sirous of Furnishing the perpetrators of
the outrage and those who connived at
It. Should lukewarmness become discern
lble, 1t will become our duty to supply its
defect"
The Globe yesterday reflected the op-
position of the ministerialists when it
said the Marquis of Salisbury scarcely
seems to have gone far enough. In spite
OF the courteous assurances of the Chinese
ambassador, it may shrewdly be doubted
whethtr the Chinese government intends
to give adequate repatriation.
Mrs. Joseph Chamberlain watched the
proceedings in the house of commons
Thursday last and it was remarked that
she looked pale and appeared to have
aged greatly. Mrs. Chamberlain, who is
the only daughter of the Hon. w. G.
Endicot, formerly United States secre-
tary of war, was becomingly attired in
dark brown costume trimmed with velvet
Mr.. Henry M. Stanley. who has just
been elected to parliament representing
North Lambeth, London, met with a
warm reception when he took his seat. |
He was cheered by the members present |
and several of them shook hands with the |
distinguished explorer. Mr.. Stanley |
seemed to be highly gratified at the well !
come extended him.
An interesting incident is recorded in
connection with Mr.. Stanley taking the
oath ON Tuesday last in the house of COM
mons. After having been sworn in he pass
ed the testament to the member waiting |
behind him, and the latter turned out to |
be Mr.. James J. O'Kelly, member for
North Common, with whom Mr.. Stanley |
last spoke 20 years ago when they met in |
Africa.
The Right Hon. Joseph Chamberlain,
the secretary of state for the colonies,
in reply, said that he had no reason to
suppose that the Marquis of Salisbury
had changed his views on the subject.
This reply is regarded as not being I'M
satisfactory and the anti-alienists hope
that an act will be passed during the
session next year to check pauper immi-
grafton. 1t is pointed out that the tide
|of immigration continues undated. Dur
ing the seven months ended with July
i22,373 aliens entered Great Britain, eX-
elusive of 23,312 who passed through

The Westminster Gazette commenting |
upon yesterdays meeting of parliament |
as being favorable to currency reform,
says:
ut is true that some members of the |
present government are known to be in |
favor of bimetallism, but it is extremely |
unlikely that any such action as sug- |
gested will be taken. The gold standard |
party hitherto has not thought it worth |
while to take any action, but with such |
a resolution as the one adopted yester-
day likely to be carried into effect the |
bimetallists will Immediately begin to |
discover the strength of the advocates |
of a gold standard.
Sew of the newspapers comment ON
the meeting at Pittsburg, Pa, on the
Thursday night of the representatives OF
the United Irish societies of Western |
Pennsylvania, which passed resolutions
advocating the use of physical force in
behalf of ireland, but all the newspapers
gave the dispatch prominent place.

John J. Clancy, the Parnellite member,
