London Jan. 12.-The proceedings Of the
cabinet council, which was held last
Thursday, and about whose deliberations
there has been so much speculation, were
by no means as vitality import
ant as was supposed. The council
began with the arrangement Of the par
Iamentary work for the coming session.
the sequence Of the measures TO be in
troduced and the manner in which they
should be presented. These questions be-
ing decided, the construction of the
queens speech was taken up and ex-
haustlvely debated. These topics consu-
tuted all Of the matters discussed by the
council that We're of public interest The
rumors which have been widely circulate ted
Of grave dissensions over the questions as
to the advisability of an early dlssolu-
ton in View of the parliamentary situa-
tion. and the order in which bills should
be introduced are utterly without founda-
ton and the stories that serious differ
ences have arisen between Lord Rose
berry and Sir William Iarcourt, are ex-
actly the reverse Of the truth All of the
well-nformed adherents of the ministry
know that the cabinet is united and in
| thorough accord as to the policy to be
| pursued. though the ministers have not
| yet decided upon the line OF parliamentary
tactics, which win yield the best results.
IN minor matters the cabinet are united.
/ but the leading and delicate questions.
/ how to mention the House Of Lords in the
| speech from the throne, was keenly de-
| bated in the council. and the various prop
/ ositions submitted were exhaustvely dis
/ cussed If the omission of any reference
! to the House of Lords from the queens
speech could thwart the Vaccinations of
/ the opposition, who are trying to force the
government into declaring themselves
upon this question early in the session.
| the matter would be gladly ignored, but
| the majority of the cabinet, in view Of the
/ official utterances of Lord Roseberry and
I Mr.. Campbell-BGnnerma upon the sub
ject, are Of the opinion that the govern
I ment IS already committed to a declara-
ton and must open parliament with
formal announcement of their policy in
regard to the upper house.
Lord Roseberry and James Bryce are to
speak at the Universal suffrage congress
] at ON ia x.f ia ffol
/ that the premier viii promise the eXecu-
/ tive committee Of the National Liberal
! Federation a fun statement Of the gov
! ernmcnts programme in regard to the
| House Of Lords The congress will after
! wards wind mp its session with the pas
! sage Of resolution reahirming the anti
| lords declaration Of the Leeds confer
/ ence.
/ in regard TO dissolution, the leading
1 members Of the Liberal party recognize
the fact that the uncertainty Of the gov
! ernments position may precipitate its fall
| within a fortnight after the resumption Of
/ the session of the house. The ministerial
whips report that according to the most
| reliable Information Obtainable the gov
| crrment's majority Of sixteen in the house
depends upon the adhesion Of the radical
wing to the ministry, the fun vote Of the
McCarthyite' and the abstention of the
Parnellites from voting with the con-
!
dent that it viii be able TO hold out till the
main measures and a popular budget are
introduced, and these are relied upon to
gain sufficient adhcrents 10 enable them
to pull through. Sir William Harcourt eX-
pects that the showing of a substantial
surplus Will enable the government 10
shape the budget so that it VIII appeal
successfully to the people in the next
election, and it is believed by the liberal
leaders that their own dscord Will not
prevent the McCarthyites from meeting in
parliament with united front. Mr.
| Healy, when the party meets in February,
Will resume his fight over the constitution
Of the Irish committee for the session, hop
ing to overthrow the vote OF last March,
when Arthur OConner and Florence
O Driscoll We're elected from the commit
tee at the meeting Of the committee in
| Dublin.
The repeated attempts to readjust the
squabbles between the Dllonites and the
Healyites have not yet been successful,
but whatever the outcome Of the fued may
be the existing differences viii not affect
in the slightest degree the presentation
Of a compact front by the McCarthyite
party in the face Of the English parties
The conference Of the Federation Of
Miners has decided not to support the
coming trades uaion congress, which has
been projected ana summoned on the
eve Of a general election. The con gress
was initiated by Kier H2rdie, John Burns
and other labor leaders, with view OF
committing the trades unOnists to the
support Of the socialist candidates for
parliament, and the decision of the min
ers' congress is a serious blow to the hopes
Of the socialistic unionists
The report Of the commission inquir-
ing into the Armenian atrocities is not
expected to be rendered for several
months The districts IN which the in
vestigations are to be held are covered
with deep snow The British consul at
Erzerour1 has suggested the advisa Dillty
of a preliminary inquiry at that place for
the purpose Of hearing the testimony
Of the refugees and other witnesses, with
q view Of expedltng the work Of the com
mission. Several of the daily London
newspapers who have sent, or are about
20 send special correspondents to Armenia
have been advised that the port viii not
allow. representatives Of the press to ac-'
company the commission Of inquiry and
these journals have decided to institute
an independent inquiry. In these circum-
stances the final re ports may be expected
to be varied and conflicting. The Chron-
icle in an article on the subject, says that
Germany has been a great source Of en-
barassment to the sincere Investigators
