being certain that the Marquis of Sails
bury thought it as necessary as did
the late government to obtain guar
antees from the sultan tof Turkey
against a recurrence of the brutal
atrocities in Armenia, which the mar
quis must know officially were terrible,
and could not be obliterated He
hoped the governments decision to
continue to occupy Chitral was not
uefinitive, as the late government,
after careful consideration of the SUBJ
Ject, had arrived at a directly oppo-
site conclusion. Reviewing the cleo
lions just held, Lord Rossbery dWelt
on the fickleness of electoral results
and admitted that the present govern
ment was supported by a large ma
Jority The elections, he claimed, had
shown that the creed of lifetime can
not be put into the manifesto of a mo-
ment. The eX-premier also said that
though the policy of the Liberals must
have altered, th5ir principles were I'M
altered. He was not prepared to adopt
the view that the elections settled the
irish question. The schism existing
among the Irish parties was regret
table, but that would not prevent that
the question of self-government for
Ireland would have to be granted.
THE government" Lord Rosebery
continued, would be forced in time
to acknowledge that the best means of
conducting Irish business is through
the Irish. 81 am convinced" he con-
cluded that you will see home rule
extended, not only to Ireland, but prob
ably to Scotland, and l do not even
limit it there"
SALISBURY REPLIES.
The Marquis of Salisbury, prime min
lister, arose to reply. He said: 1.-The
noble lord complains of the brevity of
the queens speech. Where there is
not much to- be done it is not necessary
to spend many words describing what
is to be undertaken at this session.
The government holds that the aban-
donment of Chitral is unwise, and a
question Of moral as well as physical
strategy. 1t is useless to follow Lord
Rosebsry through the wide area of his
disquisitions. l will not describe our
intentions in regard to the constitution
of this house, or in respect to the adop
ton of home rule. When we intro
duce bills touching these matters it
will be time enough to discuss them"
Regarding the massacres of mission
aries at Ku Cheng, Lord Salisbury
said: There is every reason to be
lieve that the Chinese government is
sincerely DESTROYS of Furnishing the
perpetrators Of the outrage and those
who connived at it. Should any luke
warmness become discernible it will
become our duty to supply its defect.
With respect to Armenia, we have ac-
cepted the policy which our prede-
cessors initiated, and our efforts will
be directed to obtaining an adequate
guarantee for the carrying out of re-
form. We have received the most
loyal support from both France and
Russia. The permanence of the Sui
tan's rule is involved in the conduct
he pursues. If the cries of misery con-
! tinue, the Sultan must realize that
Europe will become weary of appeals,
| and the fictitious strength which the
powers have given the empire will
fail it. The Sultan will make a calam-
! itous mistake if he rufuses to accept
the advice of the European powers
/ Relative to the elections Lord Sails
| bury compared the late appeal to the
country to the appeal against Pitt
| 10 years ago, when, as now, the nation
| emphatically declared in favor of the
house of lords. "It is a defect of the
/ constitution" the premier concluded,
that we have no special protection in
the organic laws upon which the con-
stitution rests, and which could be des-
troyed in night by the house of COM
mons if the house of lords were not
able to uphold it,"
The house of lords adopted the adj
dress in reply to the royal speech.
