IF The QUEEN SHOULD Die.
Her Advanced Lse Makes Pertinent a
Very Delicate Question.
Mr.. GULLEY'S REELECTION ASSURED.
A Brilliant Week Promised at Cowes Tho
Distinguished AssembIage-The Elec-
tion Of the Dynaniter DAILY to be
Considered-A Liberal Organ
on Lord Salisbury.

Cowes promises to be a brilliant one. Tne
distinguished asscmblage will include En-
peror William. of Germany; the Prince OF
Wales, the Duke OF York, and the Duke
OF Connaught, while the Queen, the PIN.
cess Of Wales, and Princess's Victoria
and Maude will be at Osborne. 1ear by.
Yachts are daily arriving at Cowcs. ON
Monday Emperor William. on the iinpe-
rial yacht Hohenzollern, accompanied by
five German warships. will arrive. The
. fashionable crowd is filling the hotels.
AS the opinion grows that the retire
n.ont of the Duke of Cambridge as COM
mander in chief OF the fOrc-s VIII be de-
ftrred, and the succession OF the Dike OF
Couraught to the command Of the army
be conhrraed, the discomfort deepens.
The movement en1snates almost entifaly
from the Queen, who clings ID views i'm
bibed from the lrcn Duke, the Royal
Consort Peel John RUSSELL PalmerstOn,
Beaconsfeld. and other deceased states
mon. that Royalty nearly related 10 the
Sovereign ought to be al the mead OF
the army. Nobody doubts that LORD
Salisbury. with his present backing, VIII
chesrfully comply with The queens
wishes.
The Court Is bringing a vigorous pres
sure on the Duke OF DevCnshire 10 make
him renCunce his recommendation as 10

10 beth Lord Salisbury and the Duke or
Ievonshire a long memorandum embody-
ing her views In regard 10 the army. Her
Majesty hopes TO be enabled 10 prove 70
her grandson, Emperor William, next
week that the SOvereign's hold upon the
army is not materially less than Is his on
the German army. II possible, she hopes
I'm some indirect manner 10 use the Kaiser
10 influence the Government to effect her
purpose.
THE DUKE 20 MAZE Az IMPRESSION.
During the week Emperor William goes
to Aldershot for a iield-day with the
troops. The Duke OF COnnaughfs bril-
gade. with several volunteer batallions,
will take part in the display. which viii
conclude with a grand march past.
The whole affair has been arranged es-
pecially with the view of giving the Duke
Of Com aught a chance TO impress his
nephew and the public. The Emperor
probably. will be induced to make some
pronouncement lauding his uncle's hand
ling OF the troops.
The Government I'm accepting the nOmi-
nation of Mr.. William Court Gulley as
Speaker Of the House of Commons TO
which position he was elected on the re-
tirement OF the Right Hon. Arthur W.
Peel, now Niscount Peel, has avoided
the first pitfall I'm ITS career The only
persons who regret the Governments de-
cisOn not TO oppose Mr.. Gulley's re-elec-
tion are the extreme Radicals. who say
that If Tory Speaker had been elected
1t would have given them the whip dur
ing the whole life OF Parliament.
If one of their political opponents oc-
cupied the chair and Vigorously sup
pressed obstruction he v )uld be accused
Of pariality, whereas NJ. Gulley, who
was originally the nOmins Of Mr.. Henry
Labouchere the Radical leader, would
not have been elected except for Radical
and Irish votes. The Conservatives are
willing 10 retain him in office. as he has
ell. !. to 4atF fIff
CONVICT coMMoSER.
Among the first topics that will be
brought up for discussion when Parlia-
ment meets, on the 18th instant, will be
the election Of the dynamiter DAILY to
represent Limerick in the House. on the
18th Mr.. BalfOur Will move the prOduc-
tion Of proof Of Days conviction for
participation in the dynamite Outrages,
and on the 18th Will move the issue or
new election writ for Limerick. The Par
nelitos intend 10 raise the question or
amnesty, but Speaker Gulley Will prOba-
bly, rule that IL is irrelevant. DAILY is now
in Portland prison. This fact in itself
lcidcrs his election void.
IL is understood that the only bill that
will be passed before the adJOIrnme.t 81
the House will De the enc postIouing tie

The summonsos 10 the Government sup
porfers in the House OF Commons, even
10 the Liberal l'nionis-s, have all been
issued by Mr.. Balfour as the Gove.nnl"nt
leader in the House. This fact. taken
in connection with the speech d"li.ered
asst night By Mr.. Chamberlain at Il din
ner given 10 him bv the Birmingham Con-
servative Clu.. indicates the eventual ~
