1  am advised  that  my  strength is quite unequal 
to  the  proper  discharge  of  my  duties  through  a 
laborious  Session. 

I  have  been  in  the service  of  the  House  forty-
five  years,  during  the  last thirty-one  of  which  I 
have  been at  the  Table. 

It  is  with  the  deepest  reluctance  and  regret 
that  I  am  compelled  to  withdraw  from  this 
honourable  service. 
It  has  formed  the  chief 
interest  and  greatest  pleasure  of  my  life.  At 
the  close  of  my  long  connection  with  the  Table, 
to  express  my 
I  trust  I  may  be  permitted 
grateful  sense  of  the  uniform  support  I  have 
received  from  you,  Sir,  and  your  three  Prede-
cessors  in  the  Chair,  and  of  the  consideration 
accorded  me by  the  Honourable  Members  of  the 
House  through  many  Parliaments. 

I  have  the  honour  to  be,  Sir,

Mr. 

My  Lords,  and  Gentlemen, 

Since the  close  of  the  last  Session, of  Parlia-
ment  I  have  had  the  happiness  to  welcome  back 
the  Prince  and Princess of Wales  on their return 
from  their  lengthened  voyage  to  various  parts 
of  My  Empire.  They  have  everywhere  been 
received  with  demonstrations  of  the  liveliest 
affection, and I  ain  convinced  that  their  presence 
has  served  to  rivet  more  closely  the  bonds  of 
mutual  regard  and  loyalty  by  which  the  vigour 
of  the  Empire  is  maintained. 

My  relations  with  other Powers continue  to  be 

of  a friendly  character. 

I  regret that the  war in  South  Africa  has not 
been  yet  concluded,  though  the  course  of  the 
operations has been favourable to our armSi 

The  area  of  the  war  has been  largely  reduced, 
and  industries  are  being  resumed  in  My  new 
Colonies. 
In  spite  of  the  tedious  character  of 
the  campaign.  My  soldiers  have  throughout  dis-
played  a  cheerfulness  in  the  endurance  of  the 
hardships  incident  to  guerilla  warfare,  and  a 
humanity,  even  to  their  Own  detriment,  in  the 
treatment  of  the  enemy,  which  is  deserving  of 
the highest  praise. 

The  necessity  of relieving  those  of  My  troops 
who  have  most  felt  the  strain  of  the  war  has 
afforded  Me  an  opportunity  of  again  availing 
Myself  of  the  loyal  and  patriotic  offers of  My 
Colonies,  and  further  contingents  will  shortly 
reach South Africa  from the Dominion of  Canada, 
the  Commonwealth  of  Australia,  and  from  New 
Zealand. 

On  the  invitation  of  the  King  of  the  Belgians, 
an  International  Conference  on  Sugar  Bounties 
has  recently  reassembled  at  Brussels. 
I  trust 
that  its  decision  may  lead  to  the  abandonment 
of  a  system  by  which  the  sugar-producing 
Colonies,  and  the  home  manufacturers  of  sugar, 
have  been  unfairly  weighted  in  the  prosecution 
of  this  most important  industry. 

I  have  concluded  with  the  President  of  the 
United  States  a Treaty,  the  provisions  of  which 
will facilitate  the  construction of  an  interoceanic 
canal under  guarantees  that  its  neutrality  will 
be  maintained,  and  that  it  will  be  open  to  the 
commerce  and  shipping  of  all  nations. 

I  have  concluded  a  Treaty  with  the  President 
of  the  United  States  of  Brazil  referring  to  arbi-
tration questions  relative  to  the  frontier between 
My  Colony  of  British  Guiana  and  Brazil. 
I 
have  much pleasure  in  stating  that  the  King  of 
Italy  has  consented  to  act  as  Arbitrator, 

In  My  Indian  Empire  the  rainfall  has  been 
less  abundant  than  was  desired,  and  the  con-
tinuance  of  relief  measures,  though  on  a  less 
extensive  scale  than  in  the  past  year,  will  be 
necessary  in  certain  parts  of  the  Bombay  Presi-
dency  and  of  the  adjoining  Native  States. 
I 
anticipate  a further  improvement  in the  methods 
and  efficiency  of  fauiine  relief  in the future from 
the  labours of  the Commission  who have recently 
reported,

subjects,  the  Commons  of  the  United  Kingdom 
of  Great  Britain  and  Ireland, 
in  Parliament 
assembled,  beg  leave  to offer our  humble  thanks

in  Ireland; 

And  which  Amendment  was,  at  the  end  of

«  represent  to  Your  Majesty,  that  the  refusal 
'f  of  Your  Majesty's  Government  to  hold  out 
^  any  hope  to  the  people  of  Ireland  of  a  settle-
"  ment  of  the  Irish  Land  Question  by  a  com-
"  prehensive  measure  of  compulsory  sale of  the 
, e  landlord's  interest  to  the  occupying  tenants, 
"  and  by  the  re-organisation  of  the  Congested 
"  Districts  Board with  larger  resources  ana with 
land,  has 
"  compulsory  powers  of  acquiring 
"  given  rise  to  widespread  discontent  and  agita-
"  tion 
that  the  Government  of 
"  Ireland,  instead  of  applying  itself  to  the  re-
"  moval  of  the  grievances  under  which  the 
"  people  suffer  and  so  abating  the  causes  of 
"  reasonable  discontent  and  of  agitation,  have 
"  after  a  period  of  nine  years  and  at  a  time 
"  when  Ireland  is absolutely  free  from  agrarian 
"  crime, put  a criminal  statute of  an  exceptional 
"  description once  more  in  operation,  suppressed 
"  the  right  of  free  speech,  dispersed  legal  and 
"  peaceable  meetings  with  unprovoked  and 
"  brutal  police  violence,  and  used  Courts  pre-
"  sided  over  by  magistrates  removeable  at  the 
"  pleasure  of  the  Executive  to  send  to  gaol 
"  without fair  trial  Members  of  this House  and 
"  other  citizens  of  Ireland  for  no  other  offence 
"  than  asserting  their  right  to  address  their 
in  public 
"  constituents  and  fellow  citizens 
"  meeting  assembled;  and  finally  to  represent 
" to   Your  Majesty  that  the  Government  of 
"  Ireland  is not  supported  by  the  opinion  of  the 
"  vast  majority  of  the  people  of  Ireland,  and 
"  that  the  condition  of  that  country  demands 

"  the  serious  and  immediate  attention  of  Par-
"  liament,  with  a view  to  the  establishment  of 
"  harmony  between  the  Government  and  the

Leamington] 
Corporation 
BUI, 

Mr.  Heywood  Johnstone  reported  from  the 
Committee  on  the Leamington Corporation  Bill; 
That  with  reference  to  the  Resolution  of  the 
House  of  the  18th  February,  your  ^Committee 
have  allowed  Clauses  14  and  15  as  amended, 
after evidence  which  satisfied them that  there  is 
a  very  large  amount  of  public  garden  and 
pleasure  ground  in  the  Borough,  amounting  in 
all  to about  56  acres for a population  of  26,880, 
and  most  favourably  situated,  partly  on  the 
north  and  partly  on  the  south  bank  of  a  river 
which  divides the town  into two  parts;  and  that 
it  would  be  of  considerable  public  advantage  if 
the  Corporation  were  in  a position  to  add  to  the 
attractions  of  these  gardens  by  the provision  of 
high-class  music, concerts,  and  athletic  sports. 

The  funds at present  at  their disposal  consist 
of a rate  of  one penny  in  the  pound,  producing 
£.680,  and some  small receipts for tennis  courts, 
chairs,  &c.,  averaging  £.35  17s.  in  addition ; 
and they  have  been  wholly  unsuccessful in  their 
endeavour  to  provide  and  maintain  any  good 
music with  their  limited  resources. 

Experience  has, however,  shown  that  a really 
good  band,  which  was  provided  last  year  by  a 
contractor,  who  in  some  measure  recouped  him-
self  by  collections  on  the  ground,  sale  of 
programmes,  &c.,  raised  the  attendance  at  the 
Jephson  Gardens  from  26,900  in  1900 to  85,700 

in  1901.  The  result  to  the-  contractor  was, 
however,  not  sufficiently  encouraging  for  him  to 
desire  to renew  the  experiment,  and  your  Com-
mittee  consider that  a  power  to  make  a special 
charge  for  admission to  these  gardens, limited as 
i-t  is  to  a  very  small  portion  of  certain  days in 
the  week,  and  including  Sundays  and  public 
holidays,  will  be  of  material  benefit  to  the 
Borough  and  will  cause no inconvenience  to the 
industrial  population. 

The, evidence before them  also showed that the 
Victoria Park  and  the  New River  Walk, which 
is  practically  a  part  of  the  same  open  space, 
were  hrmlly  used  on  public  holidays,  the 
numerous  visitors  to  the  town  finding  nothing 
to  attract  them  there  and  nothing  to  induce 
them  to  stay  there. 

O 

S 

: 

Your  Committee  believe  that  if  the  Cor-
poration  were  enabled  to  use  these gardens for 
athletic  sports,  cricket  matches,  and  similar 
purposes,  anil  to  make  a  charge  for  admission, 
as  provided  by  Clause  14,  they  would  largely : 
add to  the  attractions  of  the  town  and would  be 
able  to  provide  amusement  and  occupation  both 
for  the townspeople  and the  visitors. 

Your  Committee  have  also  given  .the  Cor-
poration  power  to  advertise,  having  regard  to 
the  fact  that  a  new  medical  spring  has  lately 
been  discovered,  and  that  considerable  improve-
ments  have  been  made  in  the  supply  of  medical 
baths in connection with the  pump room.  Your 
Committee, however, desire  to place  it  on  record 
that  the  exceptional  powers  given  by  these 
Clauses  have  been  allowed  by  them  solely  in 
consideration  of  evidence  showing  exceptional 
circumstances,  and they  must  not  be  taken  as a 
precedent  for  similar  legislation  where  such 
circumstances  do  not  exist  or  are  not  shown in 
evidence,  or where  there  is  any  local  opposition 
to 
its  being  granted,  or  any  suggestion  of 
inconvenience  or injury  to  the  townspeople. 

Mr.  Heywood Johnstone  further reported  from 
the  Committee;  That  they  had  examined  the 
allegations  contained  in  the  Preamble  of  the 
BiU, and  amended  the  same  so  as  to  make  it 
consistent  with  the  provisions  of  the  Bill  as 
passed  by the Committee, and found  the same, as 
amended,  to  be true;  and had  gone  through  the 
Bill,  and made Amendments  thereunto.

legal  authority  unlawfully  use  intimidation  to-
wards certain  shopkeepers  residing  in  the  Town

said  shopkeepers  to do  an  act which  they  had a

—(Mr.  Thomas  O'Donnell) 

Piccadilly, 
City, and 
North  East 
London 
Railway  Bill 
[Lords.'] 
[Preamble  not 
proved.] 

Sir  Lewis  M'lver  reported  from  the  Com-
mittee  on  Group  No.  12  of  Railway  Bills; 
That  in  the  case  of  the  Piccadilly,  City,  and 
North  East  Loudon  Railway  Bill  [Lords'], they 
had  examined  the  allegations  contained  in  the 
Preamble  of  the  Bill,  but  the  same  had  not 
been  proved  to  their  satisfaction. 

[Special 
Report.] 

Sir  Lewis  M'lver  further  reported  from  the 
Committee;  That  they  had  agreed  to  the  fol-
lowing  Special  Report: 

The  Committee  adjourned  in  order  that  no-
thing  should  be  done  in  haste,  and  that  after 
the  unexpected  proceedings  of  Tuesday,  and 
the  sudden  collapse  of  a  scheme  apparently  of 
great public  advantage—or  which,  at all  events, 
had been  blessed  by  all  the  authorities  to  which 
it  had  yet  been  submitted—the  Committee 
might  have  time fully  to  consider  the  situation, 
and  any  propositions  that  jnight  be  made  to 
save  the  situation.  Amongst  other  suggestions, 
the  Counsel  for  the  Bill  offers  to  pledge  his 
clients  to introduce  a  Bill  next  Session  to  take 
up  the  dropped  line  of  the  London  United 
Electric  Railways  and  so  complete  the  original 
through  route. 

This is not  a  proposition  which  a  Committee 

of  the  House  can  discuss. 

No  one  can  say  what  the  fate  of  that  Bill 
might  be;  and,  until  it  is  submitted,  no  one 
knows  what  its terms might  be. 

Similarly,  the  Committee  is  not  competent 
to  deal  with  the  question  advanced  by  the 
opponents  of  the  Bill  as  to  the  extent  to  which 
the  amalgamation  (now  abandoned)  prejudiced 
the  other  competing  schemes  in  the  Upper 
House. 

Another  suggestion  has  been that  the  Com-
mittee  should  either  make  a  Special  Report  to 
the  House,  or  suspend  its  decision,  in  order to 
allow  time  for  an  independent  motion  to  be 
made  in the  House  in  respect  to  the  Bill. 

Neither  of  these  propositions  commends  itself 
to  the  Committee  aa  warranted  by  the  circum-
stances or, indeed, by  precedent. 

So  far  as  the  Committee  is  concerned,  its 

duty  is perfectly  simple  and  obvious. 

The  Committee  are  of  opinion  that, in  con-
the  withdrawal  of  the  London 
sequence  of 
United  Electric  Railways  Bill,  the  Piccadilly, 
City,  and North  East  London  Railways  Bill, as 
at  present  before  it,  no  longer  represents  the 
scheme  sent  up to  this  Committee. 

And  that  this is so has been  frankly  admitted 

by  the  Counsel  for  the  Bill. 

The  Bill  which  passed  through  the  other 
House,  and  passed  through  First  and  Second 
Reading  downstairs  in  this  House,  provided  (in 
alliance  with  the withdrawn  Bill)  for  a complete 
through  route  from  Palmer's  Green  by  the  City 
and Piccadilly  to  Hammersmith, and  there  linked 
up,  with  a  system  of  through  rates,  with  the 
London Electric  Tramways. 

VOL.  157. 

It  contained  a Schedule  of  through  and  very 

cheap  fares. 

In  a large  measure  it  gave  effect to  the  prin-
cipal  recommendations  of  the  Joint  Committee 
on  London  Underground  Railways. 

It  reached  the  House  of  Commons as an amal-
gamated  and  a  complete  scheme  for  a through 
route,  and  with  a  preamble,  which  would  be 
almost  wholly  meaningless  on  any  other  suppo-
sition  than  that of a through  route. 

In the House of  Commons the Bill  was saddled 
with  an  Instruction  designed  to  emphasise  this 
particular feature, and  to  secure, by  guarantee, 
that it  should  be  sanctioned  only  as  a  complete 
and  amalgamated  scheme  for  giving  London 
such  a through  route. 

The  defection  of  the  London  United  Electric 
Railways  renders  the  realisation  of  this scheme 
impossible  under this  Bill. 

And  this is freely  admitted. 
The  Committee  has no shadow  of  doubt  as  to 
the meaning  of  the  Instruction.  The  intention 
of  the  House  of  Commons  was  to  secure  the 
complete  through  route  and  that  nothing  less 
should  be  sanctioned. 

It  is of  course  open to  the  House  to  withdraw 
or  modify  its Instruction.  But,  till  it  does  so, 
the  Instruction  is  absolutely  binding  on  the 
Committee. 

On  the  other  hand,  this  Committee  cannot 
enforce  the  Instruction  of  the  House  because 
promoters  of  this  Bill  cannot  give  the  required 
"  guarantee "  ;  and the  promoters  may  not  begin 
their  proof  till  they  have  given  that  impossible 
guarantee.  And  on  this ground  the  Committee 
is unable  to  proceed with the consideration  of  the 
Bill.  The  preamble  cannot be  proved  until  the 
conditions  imposed  by  the  Instruction  of  the 
House  of  Commons  are complied  with.  That  is 
admittedly  impossible, and  therefore the  proving 
of  the  preamble  is impossible.  And, as it  would 
be  absurd  to  put  parties  to  the  trouble  and 
expense  of  attempting  to  prove  the  patently 
impossible, the Committee find that the Preamble 
of the  Bill  is not  proved. 

Ordered,  That  the  Report  and  the  Special  Vide Supple-
t h e 

Report  do  lie  upon the  Table  ;  and  be printed. 

Mr.  Devlin,  Member  for  North  Kilkenny,  rose  Adjournment, 

in  his  place,  and  asked  leave  to  move  the 
Adjournment  of  the  House  for  the  purpose  of 
discussing  a  definite  matter  of  urgent  public 
importance,  viz.,  " the  riotous  proceedings  on  Belfast 
Sunday  last  at  the  Custom  House  Steps  in  ^ ' " e 8-
Belfast,  and  the  neglect  and  refusal  of  the 
Government  to  take  steps to  prohibit  the  hold-
ing  of  such  meetings  on  Government  property 
in  that  city  ;"   but  the  pleasure  of  the  House 
not  having  been  signified,  Mr.  Speaker  called 
on  those  Members  who  supported  the  Motion  to 
rise  in  their  places,  and  not  less  than  Forty 
Members  having  accordingly  risen: — 

The  Motion  stood  over,  under  Standing 
Order  No.  17,  until  the  Evening  Sitting,  this 
day. 

Ordered,  That  leave  be  given  to  bring  in  a  Militia and 
Bill  to  amend the  Law  relating  to  the  Militia  Yeomanry, 
and Yeomanry  :  And  that  Mr.  Secretary  Brod-
rick  and  Lord  Stanley do  prepare,  and  bring  it 
in. 

Mr.  Secretary  Brodrick  accordingly  presented Militia and 

a  Bill  to  amend  the  Law  relating  to  the  Mi-  Yeomanry 
^^ 
litia  and  Yeomanry:  And  the  same  was  read 
the first time ;  and  ordered  to  be  read  a second 
time  upon  Monday  next;  and  to  be  printed.

Imprisonment  of  a Member  :— 

Sir, 

58, Palmerston Road,  Dublin, 

25th  October  1902. 

I  beg  to  inform  you  that  in the  hearing  of  an 
appeal by  James Patrick  Farrell,  Esquire,  Mem-
ber  of  Parliament  for  the  North  Division  of 
Longford,  against  orders  of  a Court  of  Summary 
Jurisdiction  formed  pursuant  to  the  Criminal 
Law  and  Procedure  (Ireland) Act,  1887, upon a 
summons. 

That  he,  the  said James  Patrick  Farrell,  be-
tween  the  15th  July  1902  and  the  8th  of  Sep-
tember  1902, did  by  the  publication  of  certain 
matter in  a certain newspaper, called the "  Long-
ford  Leader,"  in  the  town  of  Longford,  in  the 
urban  district  of  Longford,  same  being  a  pro-
claimed  district  under  the  provisions  of  the 
Criminal  Law  and  procedure  (Ireland)  Act, 
1887,  wrongfully  and  without  legal  authority 
unlawfully  use intimidation  towards  one William 
Martin, 
in  consequence  of  the  said  William 
Martin  having  done  certain  acts  which  he  had 
a  legal  right  to  do,  namely,  having  taken  legal 
proceedings  to  recover  and  for  having  by  such 
legal  proceedings  recovered  possession  of  certain 
lands  and  premises  theretofore  occupied  by  one 
Patrick  Hughes. 

And,  further, that  he, the  said James Patrick 
Farrell,  between  the  said  15th  July  1902  and 
the  8th  day  of  September  1902,  did  by  the 
publication  of  certain  matter  in  the  said  news-
paper,  called  the  "Longford   Leader" 
in  the 
said  town  of  Longford,  in  the  said  urban  district 
of  Longford,  same  being  a  proclaimed  district 
as  aforesaid,  wrongfully  and  without  legal  au-
thority  unlawfully  incite  certain  persons,  whose 
names  are  unknown,  unlawfully  to  use  intimi-
dation  towards  one,  William  Martin  in  conse-
quence  of  the  said  William Martin  having  done 
certain  acts  which  he  had  a  legal  right  to  do, 
namely,  having  taken  legal  proceedings  to  re-
cover,  and  for  having  recovered,  possession  of 
certain  lands  and  premises  theretofore  occupied 
by  one Patrick  Hughes. 

And  further  that  he,  the  said James  Patrick 
Farrell,  between the  said  15th  day  of  July  1902 
and  the  said  8th  day  of  September  1902  did  by 
the  publication  of  certain  matter  in  the  said 
newspaper  called  the  " Longford  Leader,"  in the 
said  town  of  Longford,  in  the  said  urban  district 
of   Longford,  same  being  a  proclaimed  district 
as  aforesaid,  wrongfully  and  without  legal  au-
intimidation  towards 
thority  unlawfully  use 
Patrick  M.  O'Reilly  and  other  persons  whose 
names  are  unknown,  to  wit,  persons  who  had 
taken,  used,  or  occupied  farms  of  land  from 
which  tenants  had  been  evicted  in  consequence 
of  the  said  Patrick  M.  O'Reilly  and  such  other 
persons  as aforesaid having  done  acts which  they 
had  a legal  right  to  do, namely,  to  take, use, and 
occupy  Such  farms as aforesaid. 

And  further  that  he, the  said  James  Patrick 
Farrell,  between  the  said  15th  day  of  July  1902 
and the said  8th day  of  September  1902, did, by 
the  publication  of  certain  matter  in  the  said 
newspaper,  called  the  "  Longford  Leader," 
in 
the  said  town  of  Longford,  in  the  said  urban 
district  of  Longford,  same  being  a  proclaimed 
district  as  aforesaid,  wrongfully  and  without 
legal authority, unlawfully incite certain persons, 
whose  names  are  unknown,  unlawfully  to  use

VOL.   157. 

other  persons,  whose  names are  unknown, to  wit, 
persons  who  had  taken, used,  or  occupied  farms 
of  land  from  which  tenants  had  been  evicted  in 
consequence  of the  said  Patrick  M.  O'Reilly and 
such  other  persons  as aforesaid having  done  acts 
which  they  had  a legal  right  to  do,  namely,  to 
take,  use, and  occupy  such  farms  as aforesaid. 

And  further, that  he  the  said  James  Patrick 
Farrell,  between  the  said  15th day  of  July  1902 
and  the  said  8th day  of  September  1902, did  by 
the  publication  of  certain  matter  in  the  said 
newspaper  called  the  "  Longford  Leader "  in the 
said  urban  district  of  Longford,  same  being a 
proclaimed  district  as  aforesaid, wrongfully  and 
without  legal  authority  unlawfully  use  intimida-
tion  towards  certain  persons  whose  names  are 
unknown, to  wit, persons who had not  theretofore 
joined  or  become  members  of  a certain  society or 
association  commonly  called  the  United  Irish 
League,  with  a view  to cause  said  persons  to  do 
an act  which  they  had  a legal  right  to  abstain 
from  doing,  namely,  to  join  or  become  members 
of  the  said society or association commonly  called 
the  United  Irish  League. 

I,  on  the  24th  day  of  October  instant,  con-
victed  the  said  James  Patrick  Farrell,  Esquire, 
on  the  said  several  five  charges,  and  sentenced 
him to  one. calendar  months'  imprisonment  with 
hard  labour  on  each  of  the  said first four  counts. 
And  to  two  calendar  months'  imprisonment 
with  hard  labour  on the  fifth  charge,  and  at the 
expiration  of  that  period  to  find  sureties  for  his 
good  behaviour  for  twelve  calendar  months, 
himself  in  50/.,  and  two  sureties  of  251, each, 
and  in  default  of  finding  such  sureties  to  be 
imprisoned  for  a  further  term  of  one  calendar 
month,  except  t-uch  recognizance  be  sooner 
entered  into,  each  and all  said  sentences  to  run 
concurrently. 

I  take  the  liberty  of  adding  that  after  I  had 
pronounced  sentence  I  informed  the  said  James 
Patrick  Farrell, Esquire, that if he would promise 
me  to  cease  publishing  in  his  newspaper  boy-
cotting  notices  or intimidatory  matter,  by  means 
of  which  he  was  creating  a state  of  terrorism  in 
the  county,  I  should  remove  the  rule  of  bail and 
remit so much  of  the  sentence  as  imposed  hard 
labour. 

This  Mr.  Farrell  point  blank refused  to  do. 
Therefore  my  sentence  as pronounced  stood. 
I  have  the honour  to  remain, 

Sir, 
Your  obedient  servant,

they  had  directed  him  to report  to  the  House. 

The  Commons  disagree  to  the  Amendment 
made  by  the  Lords  in  p.  10,  1. 82,  because  it  is

loweth 

My  Lords,  and  Gentlemen, 

The  period  since  the  meeting  of  Parliament 
last  January has been fruitful in  events  of  public 
importance  and 
interest.  Tbe  war  in  South 
Africa,  after  lasting  for  two  years  and  a half, 
has  been  brought  to  a successful  and  honourable 
conclusion;  the hew  Colonies  of'  the Transvaal 
and  the  Orange River  have  been  incorporated 
in  My  Empire,  and,  in  spite  of  the  inevitable 
difficulties  consequent  on  a long  aud  destructive 
that 
war,  there  seems  every  reason  to "hope 
material  prosperity,  greater  than  any, they  have 
yet  experienced,  may  visit  these  regions,  arid 
that  all  sectibns  of 
the  population  may  live 
together 
friendship  with  each  other  arid 
in 
loyalty  to  the  Crown. 

The  ceremony "of  the  Coronation  had  of  ne-
cessity  to  be  postponed  through  the  dangerous 
illness,  from  which,  by  the  blessing  of  Almighty 
God, "I have  been  granted  a  complete  recovery. 
But  the  sympathy  and  affection  manifested  by 
allclasses of  the community have causedMe  deep 
gratificationy  and  have  rendered  even  more 
memorable  an ocoaaion  which differed  from every 
preceding  event  of  a  lilce  character  in  respect 
of  the numbers  and  the  importance  of  those  who 
visited  this  KingdCm  from  themost  distant  por-
tions  of  My  Empire. 

The  great  Indian  Feudatory  Princes  showed 
by  their  presence  at  a  ceremony  of  Imperial 
significance  their devotion  to  the King-Emperor  j 
while  the  Prime  Ministers  of;the  self-governing 
Colonies  gave  by  their  attendance  yet  another 
proof  of  the strong leeiing  of  attachmeijt binding 
these  free  communities  to  the  Crown  and  to  the 
Mother  Country,  Which  was  so  strikingly  mani-
fested  during  the  recent  war.. 

Advantage  was taken  of  the  presence  of  these 
representative  statesmen  to  discuss  many  ques-
tions  closely  affecting  the  relations  between  the 
various  portions  of  My  Empire,  and I  am  confi-
dent  that these personal communications, followed 
as they  have  been  by  the  visit  of  the  Secretary 
of  State  for  the  Colonies  to  South Africa for  the 
purpose  of  investigating  on  the  spot  the  difficult 
problems  which  there  await  solution,  will  be  of 
the  utmost  value  both  in  respect  of  their  imme-
diate  effects and  as precedents for  the  future. 

Operations  have  been  undertaken  in  Eastern 
Africa for^he  purpose  Of  checking  the  depreda-
tions  committed  by  the  Mullah  Abdullah  against 
the  tribes  under  My  protection.  These  opera-
tions  have  been  conducted  in  the  face  of  diffi-
culties  which  have  hitherto  stood  in  the  way  of 
their  complete  success.  My  forces  are  receiving 
valuable  facilities  from  the  Italian Government, 
whose  African Possessions  are  also  affected  by 
I hail with  satisfaction 
the  Mullah's  aggression. 
the  co-operation  of  the  two  countries  in a matter 
which  concerns  them  both, 

The  Chilean  and .Argentine  Governments  ac-

cepted  the  good  offices  of  My  revered  Mother 
for  the  purpose  of  obtaining  a  settlement  of  a 
long-standing  difference  regarding  the  frontiers 

of  the two Republics.  . After  a  careful  exami-
nation of the documentary  evidence and a survey 
of the localities  in  dispute  by a Commission  of 
experts,  I  have pronounced  an Arbitral  Award, 
which has been readily accepted by both parties, 
and which  may be  expected  to prevent  the re-
currence  of  misunderstandings  between  them. 
It  has  given  Me  cordial  satisfaction  to  have 
been able to contribute in  this way to the estab-
lishment  of  good  relations  between  the  two 
Republics. 

In  concert with other Governments interested 
in the sugar trade, I  have  entered  into  a  Con-
vention for the purpose of  putting an end to the 
grave  inconveniences  resulting  from  the  grant 
of  excessive  bounties  on  the  production  of 
sugar. 

1  regret  that  the  constant complaints which 
My  Government  have  found  it  necessary  to 
address to the  Government of  Venezuela  in  re-
gard  to  unjustifiable  and  arbitrary  a8ts against 
British  subjects  and  property  during  the  last 
two  years  have  been  persistently  disregarded. 
It  has  become  necessary  for  My  Government, 
acting  in  concert  with  that  of  His  Imperial 
Majesty  the  German Emperor,  which  has  also 
serious causes-of  complaint against the Republic, 
to insist upon measures of redress. 

An  Agreement  was  concluded  early  in  the 
present  year between  My  Government  and  that 
of  His  Imperial  Majesty  the  Emperor  of  Japan, 
under  which  the  two Governments  have bound 
themselves  to  assist  one  another  in  certain 
eventualities  for the defence of  their respective 
interests,  This  Agreement  will,  I  believe,  be 
for the  advantage  of  both  Countries,  and  will 
contribute  towards  the  maintenance  of  the 
general peace in the extreme  East. 

I  have concluded with  His  Imperial  Majesty 
the  Emperor  of  China  a  Commercial  Treaty 
which  promises  to  secure,  not  only  for  this 
Country,  but  for  the  commerce  of , the  world, 
valuable  facilities  and  advantages.  Portions of 
this  Treaty  will not become Operative unless the 
same engagements  be  entered  into  with  China 
by  other  PoWers;  it  contains,'  however,,  pro-
visions of great value which do not depend upon 
their  assent.  Arrangements  have  been  made 
for the withdrawal  of  the.  International  Forc(es 
which have  been in occupation  of Shanghae, 

I  have  also  concluded  with  His  Imperial 
Majesty  the Emperor  of  Ethiopia  a  Treaty  de-
fining  the frontier between that  country  and the 
Soudan. 

In  My  Indian Dominions,  which, during  the 
last  few  years, have  suffered  so  severely from 
famine, mnch anxiety  was  caused  by  the antici-
pation of  another year of  drought,*  but I  rejoice 
to  say that  this  danger  has  now  been  averted 
by  a plentiful fall  of  rain, and that the prospects 
of  the  agricultural  population  throughout  the 
country are generally good. 

The  Governor General is about to hold a great 
assembly at Delhi for the purpose of proclaiming 
My  succession to the Imperial  Crown  of  India, 
and it gives me the highest satisfaction to reflect 
that this important  ceremony  will  be associated 
with a period of unusual commercial and  financial 
prosperity. 

Gentlemen  of the  House  of Commons, 

I  thank  you  for the  liberal  provision  which 

you  have made for the services  of  the year. 

.  My  Lords, and Gentlemen, 
During  a  Session  of  unusual length  you have 
passed  measures  dealing  with  the  Supply  of 
Water to the  Metropolis,  with  the  Sale  of  In-
toxicating  Liquors,  and  the  Registration  of 
Clubs, and with  a  much  needed  reform  of  the

Patent  Laws.  These  subjects  have  long  called 
for  legislative  treatment,  and  I  rejoice  that  time 
has been  found to  pass  the  necessary  Acts.  The 
heaviest  portion,  however,  of  your  labours  has 
been  devoted  to  the  Bill  for  the  co-ordination 
and  improvement  of  primary,  secondary,  and 
higher  Education  in  England  and  Wales.  It 
was  impossible,  in  the  public  interest,  to  defer 
any  longer  dealing  with  this  great  subject;  nor 
could  it  be  touched  without  raising  issues  which 
all would  desire  to  see left  outside  the  region  of 
political  discussion. 
I  trust  that  the  contro-
versies  which  have  been  aroused  during  the 
passing  of the  measure  will  not be  of  long  dura-
tion,  and  that  it  will  greatly  contribute  to  the 
solution  of  what  is  perhaps  the  most  difficult, 
and  is  certainly  not  the  least  important,  of  all 

the  questions  of  domestic  legislation  which  can 
engage  your  attention. 

I  pray  that  the  blessing  of  Providence  may 

rest upon  all  your  labours. 

Then  a  Commission  for proroguing  the Parlia-  Parliament 
Prorogued. 

ment  was  read. 

After  which  the  Lord  Chancellor  said : 

My  Lords,  and  Gentlemen, 

By  virtue  of  His  Majesty's  Commission,  under 
the  Great  Seal,  to us  and  other  Lords  directed, 
and  now  read, we  do, in  His  Majesty's  Name, 
and  in  obedience  to  His  Commands,  prorogue 
this Parliament  to  Tuesday  the  seventeenth  day 
of  February  next,  to  be  then  here  holden;  and 
this  Parliament  is  accordingly  prorogued  to 
Tuesday  the  Seventeenth  day  of  February  next.

ORDER  in  DEBATE  (Action  of  Mr.  Speaker);  Motion, 
That  during  the  Sitting  of  the  House  on  Thursday  the 
20th  day  of  March,  the  Member  for  East  Mayo,  inter-
rupting  the  Member  for  West  Birmingham  in  reference 
to  General  Villonel,  said  that  General  Villonel  was  a 
traitor;  whereupon  the  Member  for  West  Birmingham 
said  that  the  Member  for  East  Mayo  was  a good  judge 
of  traitors  ;  that  the  Member  for  East  Mayo  thereupon 
inquired  of  Mr.  Speaker  whether  that  was  a  Parliamen-
tary  expression,  to  which  Mr.  Speaker  replied  that  the 
honourable  Member  had  himself  interrupted  the  Right 
Honourable  Gentleman  by  crying  out  that  soldiers 
serving  under  the  British  Crown  were  traitors,  that  he 
deprecated  interruptions  and  he  deprecated  retorts,  and 
if'the  honourable  Member  did  not  interrupt  he  would 
not  be  subject  to  retorts;  and  that,  in  the  opinion  of 
this  House,  Mr.  Speaker  ought  to  have  declared  the 
said  language  of  the  Right  Honourable  Member  for 
West  Birmingham  Unparliamentary  and  should  have 
required  its  withdrawal,  and  Question  negatived  on 
Division,  212.

day  the  20th  day  of  March,  the  Member  for  East  Mayo, 
interrupting  the  Member  for  West  Birmingham  in  re-
ference  to  General  Villonel,  said  that  General  Villonel 
was  a  traitor;  whereupon  the  Member  for  West  Bir-
mingham  said  that  the  Member  for  East  Mayo  was a 
good judge  of  traitors ;  that  the  Member  for  East  Mayo 
thereupon  inquired  of  Mr.  Speaker  whether  that  was a 
Parliamentary  expression, to  which  Mr.  Speaker  replied 
that the  honourable  Member  had  himself interrupted  the 
Right  Honourable  Gentleman  by crying out  that soldiers 
serving  under  the  British  Crown  were  traitors,  that  he 
deprecated  interruptions  and  he  deprecated  retorts, and 
if  the  honourable  Member  did  not  interrupt  he  would 
not  be  subject  to  retorts;  and  that,  in  the  opinion  of 
this  House,  Mr.  Speaker  ought  to  have  declared  the 
said  language  of  the  Right  Honourable  Member  for 
West  Birmingham  unparliamentary,  and  should  have 
required  its  withdrawal,  and  Question  negatived  on 
Division,  212.
