! That the improvement of affairs in Ireland
was due to the conciliatory policy of the
last three years. This Improvement had
been continuous for some years past priol
to the advent of John Morley. He ridi
culed the Legislative program of the gov.
eminent as farce which was not meant
TO pass. The position of the government
was so curious that he hoped that some

amendment to the address so that the
mousse could express its opinion on the suh.

olr william Vernon Harcourt after pav.

d0lph Churchill, said in regard To The
navy that the government intended TO low.
ally carry out its policy as already an.
| nOunced. The government believed Tho
pefmanence of tranquility in Ireland ,!e.
pended upon wise system # self govern
lhent. They would therefore continue
10 pursue that great end and would labor
to carry into effect u plan which sho,,ld
be satisfactory to the Irish people. In
regard to the bills mentioned in the queens
speech, Sir William declared he did 1.ot
despair of carrying either the Irish land
bill or the local option bill.
Justin Mccarthy said he believed that
The improving condition of Ireland was
due to the Irish people, who now felt that
lIley nad StfOnS trends III Great Britain
and had great hope from the support of
he people of Great Britain. He trusted
that the government would consider that
| the time had come for extending amnesty
TO the Irish prisoners. That would be
accepted as an additional proof of the
desire of the government to terminate
the memory of past struggles and would
enable Ireland to enter upon new and
better era. Something should be done
for laborers in Ireland and there should
be legislation in regard to Irish land
which would tend to relieve the agricul-
tural depression in Ireland, where de
preston meant starvation.
Charles Howard Vincent, Conserva-
tive, moved an amendment to the adj
dress in reply to the speech, declaring that
steps would be taken to remove the
treaty obstacles to a customs union be-
tween the different parts of the empire.
Sydney Buxton replied in behalf of
! the government. He said the queens
speech at the closing of the last session
I Of parliamnt referred to the Ottawa
conference, and therefore any further
reference was considered needless on
the present occasion, but the government
/ had no intention to slight the colonies.
| The colonial Office was deeply indebted
to the Earl of Jersey for the great tact
with which he had conducted the con-

BOND ISSUE.
A LENGTHY SESSION OF THE
CABINET

York Bankers on the Ground

Washington, Feb. 5.-1na cabinet was
in session today from before 10 O'Clock
until after 2:45 o'clock. 1t is understood
that almost the only slb;c-t of discus
sion was the pending hond Issue. Sew
eral prominent New York bankers are
here, among them being Pierpont Nor
gan, and while they have not seen either
the president or Mr.. Carlisle, 1t is under
stood that their views IN the situation
We're conveyed to the president today.
No authoritative statement of the ch"r-
acter of the cabinet discussion can be
made, but it is believed that no final
action has been determined upon, It is
understood that negotiations with repre-
sentatives of London bankers are in prog
ress with indications of an early con-
summation. There is no longer any eX-
pectation of popular loan to be placed
in this country us in that event the eX-
perience of the last few months would be
peated, and the gold reserve again de-
pleted. The purpose of the administra-
ton, it is understood, is to place the en-
tire ssue of bonds with London bankers,

BUSINESS RESUMED IN THE
HOUSE OF COMMONS.

Conspiracy Reported Discovered
Against the Brazilian Gov
ernment-Other Notes.

London, Feb. 5.-Formal business
was resumed in the house of commons
at 4 o'clock this afternoon with the
swearing in of new members, etc. The
party leaders were cheered upon taking
their seats.
Mr.. Hobhouse, who wore court dress,
in making the address in reply to the
queens speech, congra tulated the house
on the fact that the policy of Cancellation
pursued the last three years towards
Ireland had produced the happy result
of quietude there.
After Mr.. Holland had seconded the
address, Mr.. Balfour alluded in eulogistic
terms to the late Lord Randolph Church
ill, and then said he would not refer to
foreign affairs, as the opposition did not
intend to embarrass the government in
those matters by criticism uttered in
public so long as the government APP
peared to take care of England's inter
cStS.
Mr.. Balfour wanted to know why the
navy was not mentioned in the queens
speech and he objected to the suggestion

vision of this character when here was
no probability of its becoming law, and
suggested that it would be wiser to re-
port a bill which would give the govern
mcnt the seigniorage, as provided for in
his bill. Others of the silver senators
held out for free and unlimited and while
they conceded thatno free coinage prOpO-
sition was liable to become IL law at this
session, they said the same objection
could be urged against any bill that
would be reported, and that it would be
wiser for the free coinage men to vote
their real convictions than to report a
makeshift.
The substitute for the Mcpherson bill,
which was voted down, was PROPOSE

vidng for an issue Of short tine 3 per
cent bonds to meet the deficit in the treas
ury. very much on the line of the Sher-
man bill.
When asked today if he proposed press
ing his amendment for an additional tax
on beer, Senator Teller said: Il have
no such intention. | merely offered the
amendment to demonstrate the willing
ness of the Republican party to provide II
simple means of raising revenues suffi-
cicnt to meet the expenses of the gov
ernment, but it has become evident that
there is no possibility of securing any
revenue legislation, and | shall not waste
time upon it,"

NO NEWS OF THE CONCORD.

Washington, Feb. 5.-Neither at the
state department nor at the navy depart
ment has there come any word from
China in confirmation of the reported cap
ture by a Chinese mob of some of the
officers of the United States steamer Con-
cord. who accidentally killed native
while on a shooting expedition. This lack
of an official report has strengthened the
belief Of officials that the story was either
without foundation or else much eXagerat-
ed. Had the matter been at all serious
the commanding officer of the Concord
would have been obliged by the naval reg
ulations to report the event Immediately
to his superior officer, Admiral Carpenter,
who, in turn would have reported it to the
within easy communication, it would have
