A Lengthy Reference to Irish Affairs— Churchill Loses His Old Seat—Evictions in Ireland—Gladstone Cneered On His Way to the Commons—The Canadian Fishery Trouble—Stanley in Egypt— Goschen Defeated—Foreign News. Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. Lonpon, January 27.—Goschen’s defeat in Liverpool had been regarded by the Glad- stonians as altogether too good to hope for. The news was received at the different Lib- eral headquarters last night with the wildest enthusiasm. Neville’s election has done almost as much asa general election could to clear the political Mr. Goschen. atmosphere. Gosch- en’s private secretary and personal friend telegraphs me the following explan- ation this morning: The simply enormous Irish vote was never before so well worked and polled. Considering the nature of the constituency, most of which isa poor district with a migratory seafaring popula- tion, the poll was very heavy. There is little doubt that the result could be reversed on a petition claiming the seat with a scrutiny ot the votes. Curiously enough, Gladstone, who is quite wellagain, was dining at the Brooks Club, Goschen’s own club, when the news reached him. Ons important effect of Goscben’s de- feat will be to make the Government more chary of @igsolving Parliament. If they had carried Liverpool by asweeping majority it would have confirmed the belief in the es- sentially Conservative sentiment of the coun- try, and on every occasion they would have held the threat of dissolution over the recal- citrants and malcontents. CHEN D BY SEVEN VOTES. OOL; 27.—The offictal- count” of the vote in yesterday’s Parliamentary election in the Exchange division of Liver- pool shows that Mr. Goechen, Chancellor of the Exchequer, was defeated by just 7 votes. The vote was as follows: Neviile (Gladstonite), 3,217; Goschen, 3, 210. 1 THE BRITISH PARLIAMENT. Scenes and Incidents at the Opening To-Day —Lord Churchill, Lorpowr, January 27.—As early as § o'clock this morning members began to arrive in the House of Commons 60 as to secure good seats. The first to make his appearance was Mr. Sel- wyn, Conservative Member for Oambridge- shire. The scenes at the opening of Pariia- ment to-day were duller than those which usually attend thatevent. The crowds about the buildings showed little, if any, enthu- siasm, and the members were evidently un- certain as regards the future. Lord Randolph Churchill, when he first entered the House of Commons, tried to take the coveted seat be- low the gangway, which he formerly occupied. He found, though, that he had been fore- stalled ty the Right Hon. Henry Chaplin, whose hat was onthe seat. Lord Randolph lifted the hat, examined it critically, read Mr. Chaplin’s card for a fall minute, then smiled and tooka back seat. Itis notorious that a feud exists between Lord Randolph and Mr. Chaplin. The speech from the throne excited but little interest. The weather was damp and foggy. — ene THE QUEEN’S SPEECH.

IRISH AFFAIRS. My Lords and Gentlemen: The condition of Ireland still requires your anxious attention. Grave crimes in that country have happily been rarer in the past few months than during the similar period of the preced- ing year, but the re- lations between the Owners and occupi- ersof land, which, } in early autumn, ex- hibited signs of im- provement, have since been seriously Mr. Gladstone. disturbed in some districts by organized at- tempts to incite the latter class to combine against the fulfillment of their legallobligations. The efforts of the Government to cope with this evil have been seriously impeded by the difii- culties incident to the method at present pre- scribed by the statute for dealing with such offenses. Your early attention will be called to proposals for the reform of legal procedure which seem necessary to secure prompt and efficient administration of the criminal law. TENURE AND PURCHASE OF LAND; Since I last addressed you the commis- sioners directed to inquire into certain sub- have been actively prosecuting their la- bors. The report of the Commission on the operation of the recent acts dealing with the tenure and purchase of land will . shortly be laid before Siw Y — and will doubt - 2 % less receive from you * the early and careful attention which the Marquis of Hartington. seriousimportance of the subject demands. Bills forthe improvement of local government in England and Scotland will be laid before you. Should the circum- stances render it possible, they will be fol- lowed bya measure dealing with the same subjects in Ireland. A bill for improving and cheapening the process of private bill legislation for England, Scotland and Ireland, will be submitted. You will be asked to con- sider measures having for their object the re- moval of hindrances which exist to the cheap and rapid transfer of land; to facilitate the provision of allotments for small house- holds and to provide for the readier sale of glebe lands. The Commission which issued in 1885 to in - quire into the lamentable depression under which trade and agriculture have besn suffer- ing for many years, have presented a valuable report, which with important evidence col- lected, will be laid before you. A bill for altering the mode of levying tithes in England and Wales will be submitted; with regard to Scotland, you will be asked to con- sider measures for the reform of the univer- sities, for completing the recent legislation as tothe powers of the Secretary for Scotland. and for amending the procedure of the crimi.- wal wourts: “Measures dealing with the regu- lation of railway rates and preventing the fraudulent use of merchandise marks will be brought under your consideration. In the performance of these and all your other momentous duties, I earnestly pray that the blessing of Almighty God may attend your labors. ACTION OF THE PARNELLITES. The Parnellites, after the reading of the Queen's speech, held a conference and dis- cussed the advisability of offering an amend- ment to the address in reply to it. They ad- journed without coming to a decision. THE RULES OF PROCEDURE. Mr. W.H. Smith, First Lord of the Treasury, gave notice in the House of Commons of the Government’s intention to introduce measures for the reform of rules of Parliamentary procedure, and said he would ask facilities for giving precedence to the consideration of these measures so that they may be at once discussed from day to day. Mr. Gladstone reached the house at 4:30. He was greeted with great enthusiasm by the people on the way from his residence. Mr. Parnell entered the house and reached his sear unobserved. — — — WAR IMMINENT. A Communication Giving Bismarck’s Views Regarding a Probable Struggle. Bupa PESTH, January 27.—Herr Tisza, Hun- garian Prime Mister, has spoken to his friends in very reassuring terms regard- ing the maintenance of peace. The Pesther Lloyd publishes a communication from Berlin, which it asserts is from an authentic source, and which states that war between Germany and France is regarded as more probable at Berlin than is to be Inferred from the information which is permitted to be accessible to the public. ‘‘It is erro- neous,’’ says the letter, to suppose that the semi-official press of Germany publish the de- tails of French armaments merely for the purpose of influencing the people in the com- ing elections. We happen to know that Prince Bismarck recently, when he had that view of the case presented to him, quoted, in reply, from ‘Faust,’ the words: „Thou resemblest the spirit whom thou com prehendest; not me. The Prince added that the statements made in behalf of the German Government respect- ing French armaments were not put forth as any part of election maneuvering, BUT AS A WARNING, and he said the cold douche had been turned on with less force this time in order not to provoke the people too much, but it would be turned on with greater strength if that was found to be necessary. „We once averted war, continued the onancellor, by appealing against it at the proper moment.’’ He alluded to the position of affairs in 1884, when the German semi-offl- attention to the ing massed ler.

TORONTO, Ont., January 27.—A special from Ottawa to the Mail says: Everybody is so much taken up discussing election matters that the recent action ofthe United States Sen- ate in passing retaliatory legislation on the fisheries is almost overlooked. Mr. Me- Lellan, late Minister of Fisheries, says, respecting the Edmunds dit: Canada, in every instance, has shown the greatest courtesy to the fishermen of the United States, when keeping them within treaty bounds. The wholetrouble in arriving at a settlement, I believe, has arisen from the misrepresentations on the pose of captains of American fishing vessels of the action of the Canadian authorities. All we want to do isto stand by our rights as defined by the treaty. This retaliatory bill proposes to prevent importations from Canada of fish or any other Canadian product—which may be so declared against—by the proclamation of the President. It is well known that th cannot do without our fish A . ing to their latest census is, the value of their fisheries, exclusive of oysters—the production of which in the nited States, I admit, is ye great—only av- eraged 45 cents per head of its population an- mews L and no one pretends to say that that is sufficient for their people. Since the catch of fish has not been largely ented, I am inclined to think it has been de- creased, while at the same tima the population has not largely increased, so that they are dependent to a great extent on other countries for their supply. I am inclined to think this bill will cut both ways, and I do not anticipate that we shall be greatly troubled by it. hat steps this Government will take in the matter I am not prepared to say.’’ BROKE LOOSE AGAIN, Dr. Voerster Beats Two Men in the Early Morning Hours. Dr. Engelbert Voerster, the well-known local physician, became involved in two little episodes early this morning, and before with- drawing from them managed to decorate the countenances of two men with whom he had been enjoying the evening. The first fracas occurred in a side room at Tony Faust’s res- taurant. One ot the waiters, whose name is Mueller, states, with some reluctance, tha Dr. Voerster and a number of friends had been drinking during the night, and re- mained until the hands of the clock pointed to 2:20 in the morning. Mueller was e behind the oyster counter, when be heard a loud noise in the rear of the restaurant. He immediately proceeded to inves te the cause thereof, and found the OC» tor en ed in undi the face of a small-sized man who at that moment was struggling with bis back to the floor. Mueller succeeded in getting the doctor away, but not, he states, until the doctor had suo- ceeded in pulling off with his nails a piece of the gentieman’sear. When the breakaw was effected Dr. Voerster de thro one door and his friend through another. The waiter then washed up and strolled up street as far as Froebel's saloon on Walnut street, in which he saw Dr. Voerster gesticu- lating with emphasis to a little man who stood with his face lifted and his eyes riveted on those of the lofty physician. Presently, Mr. Mueller states. he saw the doctor’s right and at the same moment the little man went down. Before these proceedings had gone further ies interfered and the ht was stopped. The waiter sai he was not acquainted with the names of the men who succum to the doctor’s prowess, but itis thought they are traveling men and friends ef Voerster’s. BOODLER O’NEIL. A Female Witness Who Will Probably Save the Alderman. New YORK, January 27.—An paper states that the defense in the case of ‘‘boodie’’ Alderman O’Neil have discovered a witness who will swear that O’Neil was not among those that visited McLaughiin’s house during the time that the ‘‘combine’’ is said to have held its meetings there. It will be remembered
