Most Important.

Questions.

bers in Evidence.

LONDON, Feb. AT a council held
at Osborne, Isle of Wight. on Thurs.
day, the queens speech to be read ut
the reassembling Of parliament next
week was approved. 1t will be the
most important pronouncement for
years past. Her majesty is following
the events in the far East very closely
and has the keenest appreciation of the
difficulties. She has been most busy
recently over dispatches on the sub
ject. 1t will be idle to deny that par
lament reassembles with the air
charged with uueasiness and with the
prospect the session will be most i'm
portanr as regards home and foreign
politics.
Chinese Question First.
First III interest is the Chinese ques-
ton. 1t is known authoritatively that
the Marquis of Salisbury has disap.
proved strongly OF the declaration made
by Sir Michael Hicks.Beech, the chan.
cellor of the exchequer ut Bristol, as
embarrassing his negotiations with
other cabinet ministers. The premier
has also resented the virulence of the
press attacks growing out of tho SO.
called back down of the government
on the subject of opening the port of
tn Lien, Wan and the revival of Count
Cortis description of his lordship, as "a
lath painted to initiate iron," has em.
phasized his irri tation.
The opposition, however, has decided
not to unduly prolong the debate ON the
address in reply to the speech from the
throne and to challenge on the
Indian bills later, but the opposition
will try to get the government to un.
fold it's session programme at the
earliest possible moment.
Irish Members Will be in Evidence.
The Irish members will be much in
evidence during the coming session, the
governments local government and
Catholic university bills affording them
a great battle ground. In regard to
the latter measure, the Dlllonites, Red.
mondites and HeaIyites have united for
common action and, with the exception
OF Messrs. Carson, Lccky and r. w.
Russell, all the Irish unionists will OBJ
pose it. The first mentioned bill prob,j
ably will precede the army bill, whi1
will be the feature Of the session, and
which will also serve to introduce the
Dreyfus. question into the house Of
commons, Tor q radical member will ask
the government if it has aver received
secrets from the notorious prisoner.
Salisbnry's Rumored Resignation.
Regarding this weeks rulnor of the
approaching resignation of the Marquis
Salisbury it should be noted that it
formed the subject of gossip in the in.
ner circles of the clubs some days be.
fore it appeared in the newspapers. If
such an IL tention exists in the mind of
the marquis it is apparently not due to
his present state OF health, for though
his physician had advised him to
Tighten his work as much as possible,
the appearance of the premier at
Wednesdays foreign office reception
5elied the stories circulated concerning
his poor health. He walked buoyan1ly
and had ruddy cheeks.
Laugh at German Exclusion.
Germany's action in excluding Amer.
lean "atfected' fresh fruits and live
plants and shrubs, and. packages con.
tanning the same is laughed at by the
authorities here who have to deal with
the American fruit shipped to Eng.
land. 1t was stated by u member of
the board of agriculture that there never
has been any complaint in this country
against American truit shipped to Eng.
land. There was some agitation years
ago on the subject OF spraying trees
with arsenic, but investigation proved
that the practice did not harm the con.
sumers and that the same method was
followed in England, Canada and on
the continent.
All the fruit importers of Covent Gar.
den made similar statements. A repre-.
sentative of one Of the biggest firms
said that in their experience only one
package of American fruit had reached
Covent Garden in unfit condition.
Inquiries made among the retail deal
ers show they have never heard the
slightest complaint against American
fruit.
