Will Make Little Reference to the
South African War.

London. January sit has been
learned by the Associated Press that
the queens speech at the re-assem-
colorless. There~will be a short refer
nee TO the war. chiefly confined TO re-
grets at the terrible bloodshed and en-
comiums on the men who have laid
down their ives for their The
whole proclamation indicates hat there
is not the slightest dea OF giving up
h war until Great Britain's ends are
gained.
A cabinet minister who was inter
viewed by a representative OF the Asso>
ciated Press said:
Il do not believe the session opening
tomorrow will materialize into any
thing serious. Some of our Irish
friends nay try TO expire on the floor,
but / find in moments of serious ma
tional crises Irish eloquence has little
efec n such orators generally take
a back seat. The diatribes on the gov
will doubtless be little more
vicious than formerly, but I believe
sober minded men OF both parties re-
alize, however much there may be to
criticSse. that the government is doing
its best and hat il would be almost
unpatriotic TO attempt to tie its hands
at SuSH d liIuc. we are not nervous
as TO the result Of the situation"
The speech will further say that re-
lation with all the foreign states are
very friendly and will express great
pleasure and qualification at the patri-
otism shown by the colonies at a criti-
car period in sending troops TO South
Africa and at the patriotism existing
in the empire generally. 1t will also
express qualification at the offers of
frnOnG from Indian Native nh;Af-
will allude to the satisfactory compile
ton of the treaty relating to Samoa.
There is also the expectation that a
considerable increase in the naval and
military expenditure will be necessi-
tated by the lessons of the war and be
altogether apart from the special war
vote.

THE LATE VICE PRESIDENT.
h House Pays Tributes of Respect to
His Memory.

Washington, January 26.-The great
er portion of the session of the house
today vas devoted ito eulogies upon the
life and public services of the late
Vice President Hobart. The tributes
paid to his memory were not the usual
perfunctory eulogies, but breathed the
love and admiration and respect in
which he was universally held. Those
who spoke were MeSSrS. Gardner,
Stewart, Parker, Fowler and DAILY. Of
New Jersey; Mr.. Payne. of New York;
Mr.. Dalzell and Mr.. Brosius, of Penn
sylvania; Mr.. Richardson. of Tennes-
see, and Mr.. Griggs, of Georgia.
Before the eulogies began the confer
ence report on the census bill was
adopted and ar attempJ was made to
pass a bill TO pay the Australasia
China Gable Company the cost of re-
pairing the Manila cable, which Dewey
cut prior ito his great victory. OPPOSE
ton developed, however, and it went
over.
During the discussion Mr.. Ray, of
New York, pointed out that since the
American occupation the company had
done more business in a single rear
than it would have in twenty years
had the war not occurred.
Mr.. Moody, of Massachusetts,, argued
that the law or nations was settled,
that the property of neutrals within
the theatre of war operations had to
take its chance.
The urgent deficiency will was sent
to conference.
Mr.. Payne, of New York, the leader
of the majority, and Mr.. Richardson,
Of Tennessee, the leader Of the. minor
ity, each paid ar impressive tribute to
the memor of the late vice president.
Mr.. Grosvener, of Ohio, in a warm
eulogy said Mr.. Hobart was the first
vice president within his recollection
who gave dignity and value and exec
'utive cooperation TO the office. He
said when the present tariff law hung
in the balance in conference no one
man did as much to effect the result
as he.
After other eulogies the house, at
APO O'Clock D. m, adjourned.

New York, January 2s.-The Herald

from Washington tomorrow: "Presi-

it is on the eve of the presidential
campaign"
