PARLIAMENT OPENS TODAY.
Queens speech Will Deal With the
War In the Transvaal
Excluaiyely

LONDON. Oct l6.-The queens speech at
the opening of parliament tomorrow will
say parliament has been summoned at an
unusual date for specific purpose, and
that this course has been rendered neces-
sary by two circumstances:
First. her maiesty's proclamation calling
out the reserves is necessarily followed by
the summoning Of parliament within ten
days.
Second. the position of affairs in South
Africa demands the attention of the legis-
iaiure.
Her majesty will then declare that her
general relations with foreign powers are
peaceful. state of affairs which unfor-
tunately does not apply 70 the Transvaal.
The house Of commons will be invited to
provide ways and means necessary to prose-
cute the British policy in South Africa
The speech will conclude with a promise
that when the proper time arrives the
legislative programme Of the government
regarding internal matters will be pre-
scented to the house OF commons.

Senator Mason has resolved to take ex-
IRENE measures in the matter Of the Phil
ippines ard so warns his party that it
must either abandon its policy prepare
to night him. He will not act hastily. He
will give the party a chance. But if after
an opportunity at the coming session Of
Congress the party does not abandon its
course toward the Filip!nos he will resign
his Office and appeal to the people of Hi
rolls to say whether OF no; he IS right.
II there is any error in the Senator's pro-
gram-an error may not be possible for

resignation. Such a step. to count for its
full value should be taken now. The mo-
ments are precious. He is virtually in
operation with the enemies OF the admins

are in progress and if he will consult Mr..
Bryan. Mr.. Mclean. Mr.. Goebel. ct al.
they Will adjure him not TO delay. For
their purposes-for the cause of anti-mpe
r.aiisTn-a resignation in the hand is worth
two in the bush. Let him hand it in now,
and in all Aguinaldian circles. from CO.
lumbus. Ohio. TO Hong Kong. a word of
praise and thanksgiving will go up.
Besides the senator's party is not asking
for time. There is no sign that II wants a
day. 1t could not. if it would. take the
back track If 1t Is wrong it must remain
wrong And if convicted of wrong it will
be turned out of power. No single leader
