GERALD BALFOUR DECLARES
UNALTERABLE OPPOSITION
TO HOME RULE,
SPEECH FROM THE THRONE
FIRM STAND TAKEN BY ENG
LAND ON THE EASTERN
ATROCITIES.
BREEZY SESSION OF THE HOUSE.
Dr.. Tanner Creates Disorder and
Is Suspended for
Week.

LONDON, Aug. 15.-After the house
of commons reassembled today the
members were summoned to the house
of lords with the usual formalities
the lord chancellor, Baron Halsbury.
1t was as follows:
MY Lords and Gentlemen: The
communications which l receive from
foreign powers assure me of the con-
unuance of their good will. I am hap
py to say that no International COM
plications have arisen in any quarter
ca1uculated to endanger the peace of
Europe. The war between China and
Japan, which was in progress at the
opening of the last session, has been
brought to conclusion by peace
which 1 trust will endure. I observed
strict neutrality during the war and
have taken no action in respect there
to, except such as appeared to me
likely to be favorable to a termination
of hostilities.
81 deeply regret to say that the most
atrociouS outrages upon a body of
English missionaries are reported from
the province of Flu Kien, in China. In.
reply to earnest representations ad-
dressed to the Chinese government
by my direction, active measures,
which 1 trust will prove effective, are
being taken for the punishment of the
murderers and all persons in any de-
gree responsible for these crimes.
CrTThN ON hDNIENIk
'The internal troubles which have
broken out in the Armenian districts
of Asiatic Turkey have been attended
with horrors which have moved to
indignation the Christian nations of
Europe generally, and my people es-
pecially. My ambassador, and the am
bassadors of the emperor of Russia
and the president of the French repub-
lie, acting together, have suggested to
the government of the sultan reforms
which in their opinion are necessary
to prevent a recurrence of constant
disorder. These proposals are now be-
ing considered by the sultan and 1
am anXiously awaiting his decision"
The speech concludes with a refer
ence to the incorporation of Bechuana-
land in the Cape Colony. 1t says that
the estimates for the services of the
year which were not voted at the last
session will be laid before them. The
second portion of the speech says:
cat this season of the year it will prob
ably be found more convenient to de-
fer to another session the considera-
ton of any important legislative meas
ures, except those which are neces-
sary to provide for the administrative
charges of the year.
DYNAMITER DALY'S SEAT.
The commons met again at o'clock
and the formal business in connection
with the queens speech was disposed
of. Then Sir Richard Webster, Con-
servative M. P. for the Isle of Wight
division of Campshire, and formerly
attorney general, moved that a certi-
fed copy of the trial and conviction of
Michael Daily, the dynamiter who was
recently elected to parliament, repre-
senting Limerick, although he was
convicted in 1884 Of having been en-
gagged in dynamite conspiracies, be
furnished to the house and that the
governor of Portland prison present
a certificate to the effect that DAILY
is still prisoner there.
John Redmond, member for Water
ford, Parnellite, said that he recog-
nized in the motion the first step in
proceedings aiming at overriding the
unanimous voice of the electors of
Limerick, and he protested against it
and insisted upon a division.
DR.. Charles K. D. Tanner, memben
for the middle division of Cork, anti
Parnellite and one of the whips of the
Irish Nationalist party, protested that
it was unbecoming behavior upon the
part Of the gentlemen sitting near Rt.
Hon. A. j. Balfour to be staggering
at Mr.. Redmond's remarks.
Sir Richard Webster's motion was
finally carried by a vote of 314 to II.
DR.. Tanner created quite a scene He
was intensely excited, and said that
before decision in the Daily matter
was arrived at he would call the at
tention of the house to the undecorous
behavior of the gentleman who was
the leader of the house and the gen.
tleman who sits beside him. When
men stand up and do their best for
a poor man who is in prison, that is
no reason why the gentlemen sit
ting on the treasury benches should
snigger and sneer in way unbecom-
ing of gentlemen or of members of
the house" DR.. Tanners remarks
were interrupted by loud cries of OR
der"
The DAILY matter was made the or
der of the day for Monday
THE ADDRESS.
Thomas Wodenhouse Leigh, mem
ber for the Southwest division of Lam
cashire, Conservative, moved the ad-
dress in reply to the queens speech,
saying there was not much to criticise
in it. T. Herbert Robertson, member
for Hackney, Conservative, seconded
the motion.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt leader
of the opposition, congratulated Mr..
Leigh for touching upon Armenia and
said he trusted the question would
not be allowed to sleep, and that the
government would be firm in insist
ing on the reform which he recon-
mended being carried. The opposi-
ton leader said he wished to know
whether the government intended to
permanently occupy Chitral, and chal-
lenged 1T to say whether it was pre-
pared to extend the boundaries of the
empire without informing parliament.
In regard to Ireland, Sir William Har-.
court remarked that the late govern
ment unfortunately was unable to
! settle the great question in conneefion
with that country. Ireland, he added,
was never more peaceful than now,
and was the government wise in adj
| journing for six months without ex-
pressing its intention in this matter?
| Mr.. Balfour, Conservative leader,
agreed with the opposition leaders
remarks in regard to Armenia, and
said the government was doing its
