EARL DUDLEY'S REPLY TO THE QUEEN by the Government in Maid, Much Interest Show the Young ¥ How t Commenced Tts s 0 Speech— [Copyrighted 1892 by James Gordan Tennett.| Loxnoy, Feb. 9.—[New York Herald Cable—Spectal to Tni Bee.]—The opening of parliament brought together a consider- avle assemblage of people today, botn in doors and out. Peovle stood outside the palace yard watching the arrival of mem- bers, but as there is always a special forco of police at this spot, keeping everything clear, no inconvenienco was occasioned. The House of Comnions was very crowdod, es- pecially on the Giadstonian side, This was caused by the desire of tho radicals to give the new members for Rossendalo and South Moulton u hearty greating,and the somewhat insignificant looking gentleman who wrested Lord Hartingion's seat from the unionist party was received with a volley which seomed to mako his hair stand on end, unless perhaps 1t is always i that position. Anxious to Hear s Response, “T'his afternoon the center of interest was the Houso of Loras, for everybody was curi- ous to know how the young carl of Dudiey would acquit himself of the ticklish task of proposing an address in answer to the queen's speech. The chamber was vory crowded on the government side, but not on the other side. The galleries were filled with pecresses,all in deep mourning. Among them, you may be sure, was Lady Dudloy and her Son’s wife. If & man's wifo or mother is present when he is to make a speech sha is bound to huve a worse time thun the man himself, but there was no necessity for alarm. Lord Dudley is manly looking fellow. He spoko and in a loud and clear voice, mnot down in his boois as the House of Lords manner is, Everyboay couly hear him dis- tinetly, and taken aitogether 1 should say that [ have never heard a better maiden speech. What ho had to say was put in terso and vigorous Knglish, committed to memory no doubt, but it came out in a natural and flowing manner. Once, however, the speaker stopped, hest tated, and was silent while you might have counted ten. To his mother, [ dare say. that seemed hours. Wo spectators who felt no specialinterest in the matter weroe rather afruid he had broken down, but thero was a slight ripple of a cheer and the youngster took courage, the missing link came back to him aud he went on gallantly to tho end. Decidedly a nobls lord with a carcer before him. Ho sat down amid quite a_burst of cheors for the starchy and cold blooded assembly in which he spoke.

His manuer is somewhat ponderous, his voice somewhat hard and un- sympathetic aud occasionally snows a ton- dency to sit on a table. This "last, however, he manages to keep in check. Lora Salis- bury’s matter is always weighty. Thisatter- noon he spoke at first with unusual slowness and deliberation. By and by he warmed up and made things hvely for Lord Kimoerly. e explained why the governiuent had not you settlod tho Newloundland difticuliy, be. cause uupatriotic opposition prevented it: but still he hoped to succeed. Then agricul- tural lnbor was brought upon the scene, patted on the head, told to . behave himsell properly ana he_ should .have some more small holdings, and so ended the prime min- ister, evidently greatly to his own relief. So They All Went Home, Our Lord Hartington, who spoke from the liberal side, and was cheored when he rose, said a few well-chosen words about the grief which has recently overtakon the ro faml Then the lord chancellor picked up his skirts, rose from his uncomfortable perch on the woolsack and reud a resolution, It was car- ried, and all the noble lords and ladies went comfortably home, soon after 6 o'clock, but we, at our end of the buildig, keptit up much later, and did not get through with so much of the busiuess after all.

Ho read resolutions of the National ‘graage in favor of free coinago, and said when the American farmer went with ohis wheat into the Liverpool market he obtained possibly $1.10 a bushel for it, while the'Indian and Russtan farmer realized $1.80 injsilver. Tho American far mer would bo yery willing to take the United States silver coin in Liverpool, ‘because 1t was worth as muth as goid, butif he took silver for his wheat he was not given Ameri can_coin, but bailion, wkich he would have to sell here at toe bullion price. When the Ludian farmer took s silver home be could get it turned into coin which would buy therc as much as avy other form of money.

Kyen if all that was said against free coinage of silvor was true the farmer wou!d not lose anything, because there was no time when the farmer fared so weil as in 1865 when there was a depreciated currency.
