Telcgram. ) -What Is most striking In the opening proceedings - q ' ceedings of Parlament Is the conciliatory ' aUluilo of the government ministers , who 8how the forbearance which comes from con- Rclous strength. They showed I In re.elect- Ing Mr. Gully . a radical opponent speaker of the House ar act of magnanimity which our Mr. Speaker Crisp has ever since been trying to unllorstantl and cannot. They showed It In their statement about Ireland. They have shown It with more doubtful judginnnt In their handling of the Chinese and Armenian questions. In all theEe maters Lord Sails- bury seems to have aIl to himself : "It Is ecehient to have a glant'8 strength , but ecelent tyrannous to iso It like a giant. " Altogether V the political and parliamentary events of the week In England are extremely interesting all the true meaning of their work Is wel worth a8certalnllg. The speakel'shlp Is a far more Important matter than I may seem nt first sight. There has never been such a situation before. Mr. GUly was chosen last session as n radical by a radical majority and ns a result of n radical cnbal. I ever there were good grounds for declining to re-elect a speaker , the overwhelming conservative majority of the present House had I. But the tradition and 11ractco of the House or Commons mad the speallrshlp a non.partsan omce. Wheu , . . , Mr. Gully hall once been elected he ceased to be 1 radlcl. He became speaker not of the majority but of the whole House. He showed himself capable ahd impartial. I the unionists had rejected him , ns no doubt MI : Inlour was at one time disposed to do and PUt In a nominee of their own , they woull have Fet 1 disastrous precedent. They would have reversed the tradition. They would have given the next radical majority n pretext to turing out Mr. Gully's su .es- sor. The spealwrshlp would thus have . be- come the plaything of party. The ancient dignity of the office Would have leparfell i , and by degrees the speaker would have be. . come , what he Is with us , the mere Instru- ' mont of a majority for doing the will of a majority. Now on the contrary , the union- It leader have unalterably established and reafrmcl the home parlamentar ) " doctrine , the , the Instrument and the authority of speaker as - strument of the will of the whole House Is stronger than ever. ! r. Crisp will have to make an effort to grasp the fact that while the American method may bo the better for America , the gnglsh probably know best what Is best for themselves. WHAT IRELAND IS DOING. Irelall ( was not mentioned In the Queen's SPeeCh , but as her habit Is , she contrived to mention herself without much delay. I Is i her misforhle to bo represented In the House I of Commons hy men not one of whom has the I girt of leallcrhlp or of statesmanship. The &Iluaton Is such that even / clever poltclan r ought to be able to see that but one reason- able all politic course lay before them. They , are n parliamentary part . As slicti . they ' can only hope to attain their needs by parl- amlntary mean . ali their solo hope of a parliamentary majority Is , lS Lord Hosebel'y toll them last year to bring England over to their views and turn the tremendous I nglsh V majority against them' Into a mh . rly. In the last Parliament the English majority against home rule was scventy-one , In the present parliament It Is three or four times that The plain poiily of the Irish nationalIsts - Ists Is , therefore , to do what they can to con- VQrt the predominant hiartner ) At least , they need not wantonly offend English ' sentiment and Increase Englsh prejudice against them all their cause. Dut that Is precisely what they begin by doing. They start out on dynamite and sev- enty-seven Irish nationalists vote that Daly Is a suitable member for Limerick and ought to be admitted to the house. Daly IS a con- victed and , beyond doubt , justly c.Jvlcted . , t'namlter , now languishing In I 1 British dun- geon. The whole party or Irish rulers vote to transfer him from Portland prison , where lie Is usefully engaged In picking oakum , to the floor of the House of Commons , to help ' > , . snake laws for the Drltsh empire. They identify the cause "of home rule with dyna- mite. Of course they are playing to the Irish galer ) ' . Irish patriots choose to consider dynamite a legitimate political wcapon. _ .gain , I say , It Is the English . and not the irish gallery which the Irish ought to play to. Their solo hope lies there , but they neglect this elementary oblgaton _ ot practical pol- tics In order to . please their physical force party at home. . r LBSSONS LOST ON TANNIm. So with the Tarner incident The Infam- mable little doctor who represents Mldcork Is allowed by his colleagues to cal one of them , not an English opponent , but an Irish home ruler , / liar . arid when suspended for this gross olense , to defy the house and the speaker The sergeant.at-arms has to remOVe 11m , , and as bo goes M shouts "Judas" at Mr. Chamberlain. In short ho disgusts the house and the Englsh people It was Mr. Gladstone who told Jiis Irish friends last year that they could not expect England to be- leve In their capacity to govern their own country If they could not govern themselves or the nationalist I'arty. Dut that lesson was lost on patriots like Tanner , and T.nner Is no were than man ) ' another nationalist who sis 01 the Irish benches. Wbat were ministers doing meantime ? What was Mr. Gerald Dalcur doing Mr. ' Gerald Ualour Is that new chief secretary for V Ireland who was proclaimed a tyrant In advance - ' vance bcausl he 18 Mr. Arthur Baliour's brother and Lord Sal1bur"s nephew , His frt speech Is one of conciliation and good \ , ill , rich with promises of measures to promote - mote the material welfare of Ireland lie will do what ho can to make the Irish tenant owner of Irish land. lie wl ' welcoJe any non-coltent1oua ' bill for the relief of evicted tenants which the Irish themselves will lug- sut. The house rings with Irish cheer a th s meuge of peace Is delivered and again When Mr. Dalour declares hImself deiroul ' . . . . . ' t. " . . " . . " . . , . ' to govern Ireland on Mr. John Iorley.s prln- clplu. No home rule of course. 'ro that the government will continue to ' offer an Unflinching - flinching opposition. Nobody but a lunatl expects them to do anything else. That Is what they are there for. NO HOSTI.ITY SIOWN , lint where Is there a particle of evidence In the Ipeeches either of Lord Salisbury or of Mr. Gerald hlalfour or of any other minis- ter of "hostility to Ireland ? " There Is none. The hostility does not exist. The effort to promote the prosperity OfV Ireland has been just as constant among unionists as among radicals , and far more fruitful and benefcial , I Is the confession of Irishmen themeh'es I that nobody ever did so much for them as Mr. I Arthur Ijalfour . Why should we not see facts as they are and admit them 7 Unionist hostility to Ireland consists In refusLg to allow a knot of Irish politicians , representing legs than two-thirds of the Irish people . to break up the United lingdom oppress one section of Ireland and ruin the whole under the pretense of home rule. There are further object lessons both for the English and for us In the sordid squabbles which go on inside the lcCarthyle ranks. Mr. Dlon anti Mr. lealy are still contending I for the control of the party. Mr. Dillon has I a majority. lie and Mr. Healy bandy ac- cusatons ! ant exchange bad language and keep up their IntrIgues , anti then Mr. Dillon expreses his regret at what he calls the ,0mLous , silence In America and American indifference to Irish grievances. lie may b9 thankful even for silence. I American poll- tcians are not yet emancipated from their dependence on the Irish vote , that body of reflecting Americans outside of polls who turn elections one way or the other are assorting - sorting their Indcpendence. WHAT SALISBURY INTENDS. Dut enough and more than enough , of the Irish Queston , Lord Salisbury showed , a ! I was saying the sale spirit of mo era- ton and firmness on Armenia and Chinese Issues as on the Irish lie Is taking "active measurea" In China. I Is clear that the Chinese authorities are alarmed and equally clear that their power either to keep order or to punish the guilty Is none too grlal There are good observers who believe that the collapse of the tanchu dynasty Is 1m. minent Nothing Is so difficult as to form an opinion on the real state of things In China. Forelners on the spot ministers at Pekln , admirals on the coast all with menns of information we have not , are puzzied . and their opinions are conflicting. But Lord Salisbury , It Is bdrO to say , wi have redress for these outrages on missionaries - sionaries and security for the future . or like Trelawne"s Cornishman he will know the reason why. lie will know It also In Armenia. True he admits that the sultan has not yet assented - sented to the European proposal for the protection of the Christians In ArmenIa. lie will give him 1 reasonable tIme. The Turk Is apt to take an unreasonable tIme. Delay Is the stock secret of Oriental diplo- macy. Uthnat ly , nnd before very long , even the. . Turk wi perceive that England IJa Is In earnest , and that neither France nor Russia will Interfere with her action. I Is not of goad omen for the Armenian cause that just at this moment should come reports - ports of Armenian attacks on Americans who refuse to encourage the violent party In Armenia. AHMENIAN IDEA OF HEVOLUTI : These reports are , I fear , true I have heard privately of two cases not referred to In the published statements. One eminent lmerlcJn and one Armenian of high posi- ton were threatened with death by the revolutIonary party I they opposed re\'o- lutonary measures. What are caled revo- hihionary measures In Armenia consist In orgJnlzed provocation of the Turkish rulers und soldiery. The revolutionists think there have not yet been , massacres enough. Europe Is not yet wound up to the point of armed 1nterference. The Armenian patriots justify themselves on the ground that massacre Is better than a continued endurance of the persecutions and cruelties systematically In- mctel by the Trks , These crueltIes , they say , will end In their extermination. Their sole hope Is to male theni so horrible In certain districts not too remote as to concentrate - centrate European attention there , otherwise the same horrors will spread over larger areas and tortures and deaths continue till there are no more Armenla'ns. Prince Ferdinand has arrived at Sofa and announced that the enthusiasm of his reception has consoled him for the murder of Stanibnioff. lie has since received the : metropolitan Clement and some of thedepu- taton who went to Petersburg to prostrate themselves and their country before the czar. Two days later Stambuloft's grave was violated and an attempt male to carry off the body These may not all be acts of the same drama , but they are all expres- alone of the demonstration of l3ulgaria. I was once the rising hope of southeastern Europe. I Is now a country In which anything may happen. _ happen.EORGE tHWHGE W. IALLEY. 'I'lt.ths W'RflCIIhtS 'I' 0 JI' SItO'L' .

Cop'rlghtel , UDS , by the Associated Pree. ) LONDON Aug. I7.-The first days of the new Parlament have been marked by several - oral features of note. The most prominent of them was the utter want of color In the queen's speech : the remarks of the marquis of Salisbury In reply to Lord Hosebery In the House of Lords after the address In reply to the 'Iueen's speech hal been moved : and the suspension of Dr. Tanner for extraordinary - traordinary conduct In the House of Com- nmons during which the latter gave the lie to Mr. Timothy Harrington , who had ob- served rule. that the liberal party fed from home Naturally , the remarks of the marquis of Salisbury on foreign affairs attracted the most attention , and they have given general satisfaction. Their most Important feature , and one which was warmly appiaurlcd was the curious warning which the British premier gave the sultan of Turle ) ' . The marquis of Salisbury said : "With respect to Armenia we have accepted the policy which our predecessors initiated , and our efforts - forts will be directed to obtaining an ade- quate guarantee for the carrying out of re- form. We have received a most loyal sup- port from both France and Russia. The permanence of the sultan's rule Is Involved In the conduct he pursues. I the cries of misery continue , the sultan must realize that Europe wi become weary of appeals , and the fictitious strength which the powers have given the Ottoman empIre will fail it. The sultan wl make a calamitous mistake If he refusts to accept the advice of the European powers relative to reforms. " MADE A GOOD IMPRESSION. The premier's remarks have drawn forth strong commendations from the conservative press . while In political circles the feeling that the sultan him- prevailed sulan was flattering - self with thl belief that the change In the British government would be to his advantage , and that In the marquis of Sails- bury he would find a staunch and uncon- diional ally. But the direct and unequivocal - equivocal language which the premier ust1 on Thursday evening cannot fail to disabuse the sultan's mind of such an Idea , and for I this reason the speech has male time best I ImpressIon here. This was the gist of the comments In the lobby after the speech had been delivered. The marquis of Salisbury's statement In regard to China , however , was less favor- ably received and I was thought his language - guage ' was not strong enough , and implied ov'ermnuch confidence In the power of the Chinese government to punish the culprits. .The Globe thIs afternoon reflects the opinion of mlnlsterlalsts when It says : "The mar- Iluis of Salisbury scarcely seems to go far enough. In spite of the courteous assurances of the Chinese anmbassador It may shrewdly be doubted whether the ChInese government Intends to give adequate reparatioim . " The Globe then expresses doubts as to the safety of the British and American consuls going to the scene of the massacre . escorted Onl ) by Chinese soldiery and adds : "It would have been better to recognize frankly the importance of the central administration and have insisted upon thc dispatch of 1 court wholly compos(1 of English and American subjects , escorted br an effective escort of I English pnd American sailors. " I V Mrs. Joseph Chamberlain watched the pro , eeedings In the House of Commons on Thursday - day last , and It was rlmarked that she looked pale and appeared to have aged greatly . trs. Chamblrlaln Is the only daugb- tlr of lion. W. C. Eflthlcott , formerly Unle(1 States secretary of war. Mr. henry M.

ANTI-ALiEN AGITATION . With the advent. of the marquis of Sails- bury to power Igaln , the anti-alien emigra- ton agitation Is again active . the premier having pledged himself In favor of restricting pauper imnnmigration. The Anti-Alien associa- ton has written to the various cabinet mlnlstlrs on the subject and the marquis of Salisbury replied , saYing the government had not yet elaborated . Its legislative program , but Ht. lion . Joseph Chamberlain , secretary of state for the colonies , tn reply said he had no reason to suppose tIme marquis of Salisbury had changed his views 01 the subject. The replies received are regarded as not being unsatsfactofr and the antalenlsts hope that an act will be' passed during the session next year to check pauper immmmnigration. I Is ponted : out that the tide of Immlgraton co.ltnues unabated. During the seven months e/dOI with July 22,373 aliens entered Great Britain , exclusive or 23,312 which passed through Great Britain 0/ their way to America. "Tom" Scott Is undlrstood to b fostering the scheme and Mr. Noonan , his attorney , thinks he will be successful In securing Eng- lsh capital to build the roall. Slate Senator Tom Wilson of Idaho , In conversation - versaton with a representative ef the As- soclatll press . recently said : "I have been In Lomdon In connection wih mining business 1 great many times during the past few years and I am glad to notice this summer that AmerIcan Investments are again looking up and taking their place beside Africans. There seems to bo a general disposition on the part of the Stock exchange to listen with more favor to anyone who has mining stocks to list In London " STRENGTH OF TiE GOLD SENTIMENT The Weltmlnstlr Gazette this afternoon , commenting on yesterday's meeting of mem- 'bers of Parliament favorable to currency re- form , B'I : "It Is true some members of the present government are known to favor biumetaliiamu . but It I extremely unlikely that any acton such as suggested will be taken.

The emperor , imowever will only stay here a couple of days , In order to be present at the ceremony of laying the corner stone of the monument to the memory of his grandfather Emperor Wi- lam I , which takes place at time Schloss Frelhlt tomorrow. The ceremony will be highly Impressive. The German university students' societies will take part In It , with their banners. The enmperor later In the day , will be present at the celebrations of the First Guards regiment , In memory of the hattie of Gravelole , at Potsdanm and on Monday the big memorial celebration occurs on the Templehof field , where 40,000 veterans will , parade. His majesty will be present there ' anti will afterward go to Wlhelmshohe , ' where the empress Is staying with the , younger children. I Her majesty Is slowly recovering her health . and I Is said that the emperor will remain n week at Wlihelnmshoime. Po- ltcaly , the relations between Germany and England have almost monopolized public at- tenton and are the occasion for a general discussion by the entire press. This has been brought about by several editorials In the London Standard and Daily News , which were extremely distasteful to Ger- many. In fact , the Hanover Courier even went so far as to say that the ) mperor's periodical visits , to England were not ap- proved by the nation , as they 'merely s rVe to Incr"ue BritIsh Insolence. AROUSED TIm GEHIAN mE. An article In the Standard , especially ad- vising the emperor that his aim ought to be to show himsel worthy of his maternal ancestry has aroused a perfect storm of indignation. In fact the entire press has given vent to a violent burst of anglo-phobia with PrInce Bismnarck's Hamburger Nach- rlchten In the van. Dut even the official press Including the North German Gazette , ha Joined the outcry , and there Is no doubt that just now England Is the country most hated by Germani. The memorial celebratons of the bales fought against the French In August 1870 , continue to be the order of the day.

TOICIO , Japan , July 20.-Speclal ( Corre- I spendence New York World-Special Tele- gram.-A ) luncheon party , given /t the residence - dence of Mr. Sannomlya , grand master of ceremonies of the Imperial household , to of- fcer Df ' the Unted States navy , was es- , ' ' pecialby ' i'itFtiiig ' ' icton& of'lncI10nls' oC the rectit war It commemorated. When the port of Ylng-Kow. In Manchuria , was occupied by the Japanese , the presence of foreign residents made I desirable that the business of transferring the civil oltrol should be managed with extreme tact and dscretion. Under ordinary circumstances an attache of the foreIgn department would have been delegated to represent the govern- ment. But the Japanese are capable of breaking ret tape In case of need , and It was leclled to appoint the bet qualified man without regard to precedent Mr. San- nomlya was chosen for the duty , which } tured out to be even more arduous and exacting than hal been expected The anxiety and tel of his brief term of authority would have.been almost entirely : without relief but for the genial encouragement meat he reelvell from American naval of- fcers , to whom he hall until then been a stranger. Time gentemen In charge of the United States ship stationed at Ylng.Kow did not consider themselves prohibited by any Imaginary obligation of neutrality from maniestng pleasure at the arrival of 1 brave and civilized army to take the place of the cowardly rabble against whose excesses - ceases they had been guarding the alien resl- lents since the beginning of the war. Nor did they hesitate to follow their neutral Impulses - pulses and offer suitable courtesies to the new comers. Dy many pleasant devices Captain Emery and his associates of the Petrel endeavored to alevlatl time hardships to which the Japanese officials were at first necessarily subjected and to mal,1 them understanl that they were free to com- manl the services of the Amoricarms wbom experience hall made familIar wih the sltua. ton In varIous practical ways. As long as Mr. Sannomlya remained In Ylng-Kow time friendly Intercourse thus established was cordially maintained , amid ever since his return to Japan he has awaited an opportunity of signifying his appreciation of the good wIll generously bestowed on him and his countrymen The occasion pre- sented Itself with the appearance of the Petrel this month In Yokohama harbor. In- vitatons were Issued for one of the hos- piable entertainments which have male the Sannomlya mansion noted In the capital to a large company of whom the member of the Ylng-Kow circle were centalnly not the least warmly welcomed. The appearance of the United States minister and Admiral Carpenter - ter as the principal foreIgn guests gave assurance - surnce that the gathering was In compl- meat to America , and Its naval significance was apparent from the attendance of Count Salgo , the minister of marine , Admiral Ito , the hero of two sea fights , and others of the Japanese service. Brilliant social gatherings are frequent here , so frequent Indeed that few particular occasions are prominently rememberel , but the kindly and fraternal sentiment which inspired - splrel this reunion Imparted to I a very unusual charm , and the associations which It happily recalled are not of a character that can be lIghtly forgotten by the panic. ipants Sympathy Is sometmes stronger than Interest In creating ties of Internal good fellowship " , _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ " 'ur ( ) lt'l' Cremttt' I Stir .
