———e. LORDS ARE NOT MENTIONED fpeech from the Throne at the Opening of England’s Parliament, ROSEBERY’S PROGRAM FOR ABUSY SESSION Evlctod Tenants Rolief, Welsh Disestablish- ment, One Man One Vote and Other Pressing Matters to Occupy tho Commons’ Attention. LONDON, Feb, 5.—The fourth session nl‘ the thirteenth Parliament of Queen Victoria | opened at 2 o'clock this afternoon, Previous to the opening of the gession the lord | chemberlain, Lord Carrington, accompanied | by ten yeomen of the guard, four marshals, etc., and a number of policemen, made the customary Guy Fawkes search of the vaults of the Houses of Parliament in order to see that no preparations had been made to blow | up the bulldings, In the House of Lords Lord Welby moved the address in reply to the speech from the throne, and Lord Battersea seconded the motion. In the House of Commons Mr. Hob- house moved the address and Mr. Holland seconded t. The queen's epeech was as follows: “My Lords and Gentlemen: My relations with the forelgn powers remain friendly and on a satisfactory footing. An agreement has been concluded, after protracted negotiations, | between my government and that of the French repullic for the settlement of the frontier between my colony of Sierra Leeno and the neighboring French possessions. “I regret to say that the war between China and Japan still sontinues. I have malntainad a close and cordial understanding with the powers interested in those regicns and 1 shall lose no favorable opportunity of promoting 4 peaceful termination of the con- test. “In consequence of reports /which reacned my governmenu of excesses comn- mitted by Turkish troops, regular or irregu- lar, on Armenians in a district of Asia Minor, T thought it right, in conjunction with | other powers, to make representations to the | Porte. The sultan has declared his intention of promptly punishing any of hls officers or soldlers who have been guilty of such acts and has sent a commission to conduct an investigation on the spot. Delegates from the powers which have consuls at Erzeroum will accompany this commission. “Gentlemen of the House of Commons, the estimates will be submitted to you without delay. DISORDERS HAVE CEASED IN IRELAND. “My lords an® gentlemen. I am happy to observe the etriking fact that in Ireland offenses of all kinds against the law have sunk, during the past year, to the lowest level hitherto marked in the official record. Proposals will be submitted to you for renedying defects which experience has brought to light in the working of the law of landlord and tenant in Ircland and for deuling with certain evicted tenants whose sitvation still constitutes peril to social order. “A bill will be presented to you dealing with the church establishment in Wales. Bills will also be submitted for the popu- lar control of the liquor traffic and the abolition of plural voting and a provision for the payment of the charges of returning officers at election; The speech further say unification of London and construction of light railways, which. T trust will benefit districts suffering: from the agricultural depressions; a bill for the pro- motion of conciliation in the trade disputes and an amendment to the factory acts; a bill for the completion of the system of county government of Scotland and for further legis- lation for the crofters will be submitted to you. “I pray that the blessing of God will rest during the year on your arduous and re- sponsible labors."" Formal business was resumed in the House at 4 o'clock with the swearing In of new members etc. The party leaders were cheered on taking their seats. The various ministers gave notice that they would intro- duce on Thursday next the different bills mentioned in the queen’s speech. Mr. Hob- house, who woro court dress, in moving the address in reply to the queen's speech, con- gratulated the house on the fact that the policy of conciliation pursued the last three years toward Ireland and produced the happy Tesult of quietude there. BALFOUR REPLIES TO THE ADDRESS. After Mr. Holland had seconded the ad- dress, Mr. Balfour allied in eulogistic terms to the late Lord Randolph Churchill, and then sald that he would not refer to foreign affairs, as the opposition did not intend to embarrass the government in those matters by criticism uttered fn public o long as the government appeared to take care of Eng- land's interests. Mr. Balfour wanted to know why the navy was not mentioned in the queen’s speech, and he objected to the sugges- tion that the improvement of affairs in Ire- land was due to the conciliatory policy of the last three years. This improvement had been continuous for some ycars past prior to the advent of John Morley. He ridiculed the executive plan of the government. The whole glnn of the government was £o0 curious that 0 hoped some authoritative member would mova an amendment to the address so that the house could discuss it. Sir Willlam Vernon Harcourt, after paying tribute to the memory of Lord Randolph Churchill, said in regard to the navy that the government intended to loyally carry out its policy as already announced. The Eovern- ment believed the permanence of tranquility in Ireland depended upon a wiso system of self-government. They would therefore con- tinue to pursue that great end and would labor to carry into effect a plan which should be satisfactory to the Irish people. In regard fo the bills mentioned in the queen’s speech, Sir William declared he did not despair of carrying either the Irish land bill or the local option bill, Justin McCarthy said he belleved the im- proving condition of Ireland was due to the Irish people, who now felt that they had strong friends in Great Britian, and had great hope from the action of the presemt government and from the support of the peo- ple of Great Britin. He trusted that the yernment would consider that the time had come for extending amuesty to the Irish political prisoners. Somcthing should be done for laborers in Ireland; there should be legis- lation in regard to the Irish land, which would tend (o relieve the agricultural depres- slon In Ireland, where depression meant vation. Cherles fHoward Vincent (conservative) moved an amendument to the address in reply to the queen’s speech, declaring that steps should be taken to remeve treaty obstacles to a unfon between the different parts of the empire. Sydney Buxton replied for the government He sald the auepn's speech at the close of the last session of Parliament referred to the Ottawa conference, and therefore any further reforence was considered necdless on the present occasion; but the governient had no intention Lo slight the colonies. The govern- ment had given the matter attention and proposed to tuke action on one point during the present session. Action on the other points weu'd follow. He apreed (hat the Aus- tralian, like other self-ruling colonies, should be allowed to enter into fiscal arrangements with one another. N In view of the statement made by Mr. Bux- ton, Mr. Vincent withdrew his amendment. have “Bills for the facilitating the Earthguakes and Avalanches in Norway, CHRISTIANA, Norway, Fed. 6—Dis- patches reccived here from Molde, Aalsund, Bergen and Christiansund report that at all these places carthquakes were experienced between 1215 and 12:45 this mornng.

Cannot Be Terminated Before it Becomes Fully Effectiv WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.—The senate today modified its former action on the Japanese treaty to the extent of inserting a provision which will render it impossible to abrogate the treaty before it goes into effect. In the absence of Senator Morgan Senator Sherman moved a reconsideration of the ratification and then moved that the word ‘“thereafter’ should be inserted in place of the words stricken out. This word comes after the date, 1899, when the treaty takes effect, and the entire clause reads that either nation shall have the right, on one year’s notice after that date, to abrogate the treaty. There was no opposition on the part of any senator to the change and nothing was said beyond the bricf comment of several scnators that they had never intended that the treaty should be nulled before it becomes effective.

D., Feb. 5,—(Special Telegram.) —The most important event of the day in the legislature was the passage through the house of the joint memorlal to congress to grant re- lief from present financial distress by passing a free coinage measure. A sharp debate took place, Messrs. Russell of Yankton, Henry and Lindel of Lawrence, Truem of Brookings, Donohue of Hughes and others strenuously contending that the party could not go farther than the Yankton platform, which limited coinage to the American product, and Mesérs, Glass, Hair, Dowdell, Crothers and Reld contending for the memor'al as drawn. The bill finally passed by a vote of 43 to 32, twenty-nine republicans voting for it, and thirty-4wo against, while all the populists voted aye. On motion of Glass, the speaker was instructed to communicate with the leg- islatures of other northwestern and south- western states to urge them to join in the memorial. The matter will come up In the senate temorrow, and a sharp debate will be had. It is more than likely that the memorial will be amended so as to limit it to coinage of the American product, Donohue's bill, annexing Nowlin, Pyatt, Sterling and Jackson counties to Stanley for judicial purposes, and Michael's bill, allow- ing counties to compel railroads to put in crossings, and McGaughey's bill, providing for a uniform system of blanks and books for county and state officers to be arranged by the secretary of state, auditor and public ex- aminer, passed.

The committee fmmediately took up the university halt mill levy bill.

MeNit mendment was lost by a-vote of to 42, and the opponents of the bill breathed easier But the vote on Cole's $8 W surprise. It carried by 40 to 42, and the report of the committee of the whole, which, on rising, recommended the bill for passage, was adopted by 49 to 13, Thera was one point the bill could likely have been Howard moved that when the report the bill for ndefinite postponement, but Rhodes raised the point of order that this motion had once been acted upon. The chalrman sustained the point of order, al- though this was pably autocratic, as Chapman had made the motion last evening, but had subsequently withdrawn it. There is considerable conflict of opin‘on concerning tho provisions of the bill as it stands.

One of the Dills favorably reported by the committee on cities and towns applies di- rectly to Omaha. It provides that the ap= pointment of the fire and police commis- sioners of cities of the metropolitan class shall be taken out of the hands of the gov- ernor and vested in a board consisting of the governor, attorncy general and the com- missioner of public lands and buildings. The other provisions are about the same as found in the existing law. Johnston, chy man of committee, says in regard to this measure that the object sought is the purifi- cation of the police system of Omaha, which he insinuates is rapfdly. drifting into the condition in which the Lexow committece found New York after long years of Tammany rule. In his opinion this wilk not to any great extent invade the preroga= tive of the governor, but make th> selection of the police and fire commissioners a better one than it would be if left to one person. Now that the university bill, house roll No. 2, has been recommended for paseage by a vote of 49 to 43 in the committee of the Lancaster county delegation is BILL RECOM- whole, the quite jubilant, and considera the question as practically settled. Davies made a gallant fight against the Dill. He excelled his strong and eloquent speech of yesterday, when he showed to the Lancaster delegation that should the bill to compel the assessors to assess property at its cash value pass both houses the three-eighths mill levy now Taised for the university would more than raiso the amount asked, $75,000. He drove them into & corner from which they had not emerged at the hour of adjournment. Toduy 4 number of the populists voted in favor of the bill who had yesterday recorded their votes against it. As recommended for passage the bil} provides that not more than $60,000 shall be ralsed from the half-mill levy, but this amendment, by Cole, probably means that no more than $60,000 shall be appropriated from the half-mill levy to university purposes. Davies and Crow both showed conelusively that the levy asked for might possibly re- sult In ralsing half a million should the assessor's bill become a law. Standing committees today sald twenty measures were fit for passage, and about haif of thelr reports were adopted. The rest were turned down. GIVING BILL DORGAN A LIFE, The committee on penitentiary reported the result of the recent investigation. It was quite flattering in regard to the management of Warden Beemer, but it wound up with an abrupt recommendation that Bill Dorgan be cjected from the grounds of the prison. The scheme on foot Is, it is sald, to let Dorgan out from under the elghty cell contract, and relet the whole prison contract to him for ten years more at an advanced rate per capita, Hence another fight s looming up on the legislative horizon. Howard called today for_a report on his stock yards bill, house roll No, 55. The com= mittee had presented a minority and ma- Jority report on another measure, The result of a short discussion was that the two re- ports and Howard’s bill were recommitted with instruction to draft a new measure, Following the introduction of a number of new blils the house adjourned. SENATOKS BUSY DEFENDING HUT Ant1-Oleomargarine Bill Reported for Pase sage After n Vi s Flght, LINCOLN, Feb. 5,—(Special Telegram.)— In the senate today the session was nearly consumed in the consideration of the antls oleomargarine bill, and the fight, although entircly one-sided, was one of the hottest that has taken place in the upper house at the present session of the leglslature. The bill_under consideration was ono introduced by Scnator Sloan at the request of the State Dairymen’s association. It was a blow ap the oleomargarine interests at South Omaha, and it {5 claimed by the South Omaha men will be fatal to the industry and drive it out of the state. The senate was aimost unani- mous fn favor of the bill, only two senators atnst the motlon to report the bill senate with the recommendation it be passed. These two senators were s and Smith of Douglas. Crane voted after clearing away of the morning sesslon, of the whole to consider the olecomargaring bill, with Tefft in the chair.

SLOAN DEFENDS THE MEASURE, Sloan, author of the bill, or rather sponsor. for it, opposed the amendment offered by Noyes, clalwming that the bill itself did not aird at the interests of South Omaha, but that it was simply intended 1o prevent the practice of glaring frauds upon the part of the manufacturers of o'comarzariie and other substitutes for butter.. He asserted that the people of Nebraska had no protection against theso frauds, and (t was to afford this pros toction that the bill had been introdueed.
