rom foreign powers assure me OF the

happy to say that no international
implication has arisen i'll any quarter
.cuIated to endanger the peace Of
Europe
THE war between China and Japan,
which was i'll progress at the opening

conclusion by peace, which l trust
will endure. | observed a strict neu-

appeared to me likely to be favorable

iuocious Outrages upon body OF En-

dressed to the Chinese government by

trust will prove effective, are being

the ambassador of the emperor OF
Russia and the president of the French
republic, acting together, have sug-
grsted to the government of the sultan
reforms which, in their opinion, are
necessary to prevent recurrence of

The speech to the commons merely
says estimates for the service for the
Year not voted at the last session will
be laid before them.
The second portion of the speech
saws:

later session the consideration of any
important Legislative measures except
those which are necessary to provide
ir administrative charges of the
YEAR
