RoSEBERRYS BRAVE RALLY.
If THE MINISTRY MUST FALL 1T
WILL FALL FIGHTING.

The Reply TO the Queens speech
Taken TO Osborne For the Purpose
of Obtaining the Approval of Her
Majesty TheretO-It Contains Ref
erences TO All the Reforms Which
the Ministerial Party Approves in
Parliament.
London, Feb. 2.-The cabinet have held
three meetings this week, the result of
finishing the queens speech. The docu-
ment was taken TO Osborne to-day by the
the colonies, and Lord Darlington. the lord
Marquis of Hipon. secretary Of state for
chamberlain of the queens household,
for the purpose Of obtaining the approval
of her majesty thereto.
1t is now known that the ministers
have decided that If the ministry must
fall, it viii fan fighting; consequently,
the speech from the throne viii contain
references to all the reforms which the
ministerial party approves, without re-
gard to whether they are likely to pass
during the coming session or not. Even
though the government should survive the
debate on the address in reply to the
queens speech, it is absolutely certain
that they will not be able to pass any
thing more than the Welsh church bill
and the Irish land measure in the course
of one session. Under these circum-
stances, the supporters of the local veto
measure, and the questions of payment
of salaries to members of parliament,
registration reform and the unincation of
London must content themselves with the
governments approval of their pet
schemes, but with what grace they viii
do SO. remains to be seen
The main question now is how the gov
ernment will fare during the debate on
the address in reply to the speech from
the throne. If the Redmonite members ad-
here to their resolve to oppose the gov
ernment it is likely that the ministry will
be defeated The liberal absentees in
clude Florence O'DriscoIl, member for
South Monaghan, who is in Australia
Alfred Webb, member for West We'd
ford, who is in India, and William Ran
dali Creemer member for the Haggerston
division of Shoreditch, who is in Amer
lea. Besides these there are two mem
bers confined to the beds by illness, and
1t is not likely that either can occupy
his seat on the opening of parliament on
Tuesday.
Before the beginning Of the debate on
the address the conservatives threaten to
move to expunge the motion censuring the
London Times for calling the Irish mem
bers mereenaries. This action is to be
taken upon the ground, it is now stated,
that Justin Mccarthy, the Irish leader
accepted check for 1900 pounds from
Lord Tweedmouth, but the motion will not
likely be insisted upon inasmuch as even
the Tories condemn the systematic and
unsenerous attacks of the Times upon
the Irish members personally
The real fight in the debate on the ad
dress will be over the governments anti
lords resolution, and 1t is understood that
Mr.. Balfour intends to demand that the
government produce the resolution at once.
on the ground that the country is enti-
tied TO know exactly what 1t is. since the
government have already stated that they
have decided to bring it forward
Now that Sir Charles Dixie and Mr.
Labourchere say that they will support
a motion to lay the resolution upon the
table, there is a possibility of an immedi-
ate dissolution, as the result Of division
thereon. The adverse votes of these gen
tlemen, together with those of the Red
mondites and the absence of the five men,
bers mentioned, would defeat the govern
ment, but the other amendments to the
address are not likely to result in critical
divisions These amendments include an
amendment by Kier-Hardie, socialist, in
regard to the providing of relief for un-
employed workers; an amendment by F.
S. Stevenson, liberal, calling attention to
the Armenian atrocities. and demanding
British action thereon; an amendment by
the Redmondites, demanding the release
of the Irish political prisoners, and one
by the AIcCarthyites, describing the dis
tress among the people in the west Of Ire
land
Earl Rosebery and Earl Kimberly have
had frequent conferences of late as to how
pressure could be brought upon Turkey
through the Armenian situation, but the
death of NJ. de Giers, the Russian foreign
minister, has caused the postponement
of possible action in the matter for the
present.
II. S. Taylor-Leyland has resigned his
seat in the House of Commons. He is a
conservative and represented Colchester
where he received a majority of 81 votes
at the last general election. In 1889, he
married Miss Jane Chamberlain, daugh-
ter of H. S. Chamberlain of Cleveland,
L. S. A.
