Vorsier amd Gladatons Rue su ~Xx.3 festo\u2014Ddne ted Xr.Laructiy Mamifos The tour in Now Ruben Amado, LoxNpoN, Feb, 19.~In the Commons on Friday night there were more scandalous scencas, provo ed by the Parnellites, rivalling in contempt for decency the worst incidents of this session.The most reckless Home Rulers, including Messrs, Dawson, Fianegan, Furell, Metge, Ally, O'Connor and Biggar, vied wi each other in defying the coir insulting Mr.Forster, Mr.Gladstone and other Ministers of the House generully.The exasperation was due y to the Speaker's new rules, under which the Parnellites saw their last chance of obstruction disappear.Mr.Paruell's reappearance in the House is understood to be due to the reluctance of the Government to avail themselves of cvidence deemed sufficient to warrant his arrest on grave charges.Ar.Parnell\u2019s manifesto is regarded by English Radicals as formally relinquishing all claims to their support, and shows that the manifesto tends still more to strongly disintegrate the Home Rule party.The Irish resolutions passed by the Legislatures of Minnesota and Colorado fail to rouse any resentment, most Englishmen manifesting it purely ag a geagraphical curiosity.Mr.Gladstone's sud.deu visit to the Queen on Friday excites conjecture.The Radicals hint he went to remonstrate against the despatch of farther Royal telegrams to the Trunsvaal.A really strong feeling of discontent with the Government is rapidly being developed in the ranks of its supporters, and this is more pel.able in the House than people are likely to think who base their estimates of the situation on anything which ap in newspapers.Amon his followers in the Commons it Te Freely said that Mr.Gladstone is resuming the arbitrary course which broke up his last administration, and veuturing boldly upon proceedings which would ruin Conservatives iu a week.Among the actions concerning which complajut is made is, as may be naturally imagined, the opening of private letters in the post office.Liberals of all sections rightly think it a scandal that this obnoxious system should be revived in the present day and under a Radical Administration, and the revival may at any moment kindle a dangerous fecling iim the country.Sir William Vernon Harcourt is mainly, if not altogether, responsible fur this, and i4-will in all probability produce an excitement fatal to Lis political prospects.Both he and Chief-Secretary Forster are daily becoming ohjects of serious Radical resentment, The new g law proposed by Mr.Speaker Brand on l'hursday also affronted a large division of the Ministerial party.It was intended to put it wn force on Faiday night, but this morning at two o'clock the Speaker aunounced some modifications, the rising storm of opposition being wuch too grave to be disregarded.The rules as introduced apply to discussions in committee on bills in precisely the same way as the previous question in the United States Congress, shutting off all debate at a given hour.The Conservative party combined with the Radicals in objecting ta the adoption of such a system, and the general feeling of the house was shown by the following incident in Friday night's debate.Mr.Gladstone, in the course of his speech, happened to ask, *\u201c What are the arrangements of the Constitution,\u201d when some one promptly answered, ¢ Anything you like.\u2019 The remark and cheers and laughter it occasioned greatly irritated the Premier.Radicals of the stamp of oi Mr.Cowen, M.P.for Newcastle, felt strongly, and declare boldly that the first Liberal Ministry since 1874 should ngt have allowed itself to become identified with oho'of the harshest coercion acts of modern times, a gag law in Parla.ment and the secret opening of private letters, Mr.Gladstone not chafes under these criticisms i most faithful a drogues the relations of Ministry with its party are far less cordial than they were at the beginning of the session.Just befor the House of Commons adjourned last night, the Speaker said he had framed a rule in licu of those announced on Thursday last.The rules is as follows: That in committee on any urgent bill or in the stage known as consideration of a bill as amended, a Minister can move that the remaining clauses and any amendments or new clauses standing on the notice paper shall, after a certain day or hour, be put forthwith, and such motion by a Minister shall forthwith be put trom the chair, but not decided affirmative.iy unless voted by a 3 to 1 majority.This seeus to meut Conservative objections.The Marquis of Hartington, Secretary of State for India, on behalf of Mr.Gladstone, gave the necessary notice of a motion such as is here referred to on Monday nex3 in regard to the protection bill.: THE SOUTH AFRICAN WAR.Décisive Battie Éxpected_Reconnaisance hod Sir Evelyn Wood\u2014Peace Negotiations.Drirax, February 19.\u2014News fron the front is anxiously awaited, as 8 decjsive battle is expected Sunday or Monday.The British forces are massing at Mount Prospect preparatory to attacking the Boers at Laing\u2019s Nek, where the Boers are assembled in force, determined to resist an attack to the last extremity.The Boers have been completely baffled by the rapidity of General »ir Edward's movements.NEWCASTLE, February 20.\u2014Sir Evelyn Wood, with 100 hussars, made a reconnoisance extending over 75 mâles, and penetrated within ten miles of Walkersstroom.He found the country almost deserted.General Wood assured the inhabitants that the Boers who return to their farmg immediately will not be molested.LoxpoN, February 19.\u2014The Times this morning says ii is reported that the English Cabinet and the Boer Government are, and have been for some days past, discussing terms of peace proposed br the latter, and it is believed that this accounts for General Sir Evelyn Wood's ndvanee beinz unopposed.\u2018The Times says tho Boers made their overtures for peace to Gen.Colley through Vresident Brand, of the Orange Free Btate.Their proposals are somewhat ambiguous, but appear to be to the effect that the Britieh evacuate the Transvaal, and that Commissioners be appointed to sottle its future relations with Grest Britain.General Colley replied that, if the garrisons in the Transvaal were left unmoleated and free to obtain supplies, aud heogtilitios were immediately suspended Ly the Boers, the British would agree to appoint a Commision.General Colley has received no final anawer aa yet.Hopes are entertained in official circles that the war in the Transvaal will soon be brought to a close.1 hear that the Government ia prepared to concede tho main points démanded y the Boers, including cven their indopend- ciee, Lut on this latter point thers is the yreat- est difference of opinion existing in the Liberal ranks.Jt is admitted, however, that in any case the Loers must lay down their arms be- for~ their quarrel with the lmperial Government en he adjusted.Mr.Bright, Mr.Chamberlain and other members of the Government that might readily he named, feel that this war is a great reproach to them, and they are\u2019 boing mercilessly Junted by the positivist, Mr.Frederick Harrison, and other writess of eminence.Mr.Bright is tepresguted to be especially eager for a scitlement of the fueation, but many Radicals, whose organ the Spectator may be taken to be, insist on the right of England to keep the Am nsvual territory, and blame their party for 8 \u2018ping such ** morbid conséiéntiousness.\u201d The Goyarnment

without being amested, there cum be no doubt that the Home Office has convincing proofs of his association with treasonable sodioties.Davitt certainly succeeded in enticing him into à position where the law conld step in aud lay hands upén him at any moment.He will shortly return to Puris, but the sharp comments of the New York papers which were cabled here an his proposed American sour rie Beer en rise.The profound disco: ment \u20ac by Bis disappeiranes obliged the member for Cork to show limself again in Parliament at all hazards, but he knows Lis danger, for papers in possession of ths Home Office would in law justify his arrest st any moment.The obstructive tactics have discredited Mr.Parnell\u2019s leadership, and immensely injured the Irish case throughout the nation.His interview at Paris with Henry-Rochefort has also,as was to be expected, given bitter offence to the Catholic party, and his countrymen begin to foel that all lost unless they can find a leader of better judgment.Head Centre Stephens, of the Fen- lan rotherhood, denies having held a consultation with Mr.Parnell, and condemns his plan of action.In my opinion, all probability of Fenian attacks\u2014attaoks of any consequence.at least\u2014has passed away.The leaders of the Fenian organization now know that any outbreak would recoil heavily on theirown friends, and members of the Irish party are more anxious than anybody to prevent a disturbance, as at the first sign of violence the Land Longue in the House of Conimons and out of it would be arrested.The Norwegian ship \u2018 Juno,\u201d which laid two months in Limerick, undergoing repairs, ssiled for the United States with a quantity of American rifles, which formed the anginal curgo of the vessel.British marines will acoqnpany the ship out of the river, in order to frustrate any attempt to transfer the ®argo.Mr.Parnell addressed 5,000 people at Clara, King's Co.,ito-dsy.He was received by s large crowd with great enthusiasm at the railway station ea routz.He advised the people, especially tenants, to remain firm, and congratulated himself on having, by obstruction in Parliament, prevented the suspension of the Habeas Corpus} Act for seven weeks.In the course of his speech, he tharged the English Cabinet with de.liberute conspiracy, and said that he would go to prison for the tenants\u2019 sake.A Catholic priest resided at the meeting, and the Stars and Etripes waved over him.Mr.Puruell started for Dublin after the meet, ing at Clara in order to be in the House of Commons on Monday.a he A Dublin correspondent says t tige of the Land League has sensibly dented and ople are beginning to fear it less.Outrages Eve almost entirely ceased, and payment of rent is increasing.The News understands that the Cabinet considered the Land Bill for the first \u2018time on Saturday.Mr.Shaw's manifesto has had a remarkable effect in Ireland.Mr.Shaw wields a commanding influence among the commercial classes.no qacter is the manifesto hostilely criticised.This would not have been the case genial companionship and welcome among the colliers and operatives in Lancashire and the iron workers on the Tyne side.Fenian Head- Centre Stephens is reported as saying that the Irish question will yet have to be settled \u201cbya stand-up fight,\u201d and once Ireland has gained her independence she will be happy to ally herself with England.PARIS, February 19.\u2014The Justice, M.Cle- menceal\u2019s organ, and the JInfransigeant, Rochefort\u2019s paper, this morning contain lon and eulogistic articles on Parnell and the Land Leaguers, The Justice tonsiders the manifesto a masterpiece, and exults at the annoyance Parnell's vi£it to Paris is causing the French Government.The Fntransigeant makes the Land Leaguers a key on which to hang a violent attack on Gambetta and Andrieux.This is just the sort of thing Mr.Parnell ought to have expected from the French Socialists.They are hot dangerous as enemies, but they are very dangerous as friends.- ROOKLYY, February 20.\u2014 There were three Lend Leagus meetings in the Eastern districts this afternoon.There was much enthusiasm.McKay, recently from Ireland, declared that Parell aud Dillon had nothing to do with the revolutionists of the Continent, as the cahle- said.The result of the agitation would Be the independence of Ireland.They would wait till they could strike a sure blow, then they would do it.THREATENED POLITICAL CRISIS.BERLIN, February 20.\u2014In the Upper House of the Prussian Diet yesterday, Prince Bismarck being ill, Herr Rommel said that he was instructed to say that Prince Bismarck thought the paragraph in the bill for the permanent remission of taxes had been adopted by the Lower House, Itwould not hinder the Emperor from accepting it, as he reserved the power of revising the provisions.That statement created a great sensation.The bill was sent back to committee.Cont von

Women te Queen Vietoria.We understand that a movement is on fuog &mong the ladies of the Dominion to present an address to Her Majesty Queen Victoria on her next birthdav.Tu all whe have watched the career of Queen Victoria the object must appear a most worthy one.When England's sailor king, the free.-heartrd William 1V., expired, \u201d glow nearly forty-four years ago, the eyes of the - whole kingdom were directed to the modest, inexperienced girl, who was suddenly summoned sway the sceptre of the most magnificent empire the world.Called from the undisturbed privacy of her studies and maidenly meditations to sit upon the throne and gnide the deliberations of the council chamber of a great and most ener- so ta in getic nation, whose restless progression was causing new complications in every spatter of the globe, Victoria, the new-made Querti, entered upon her duties with a quiet dignity, mingled with modesty and grace That at once won the hearts of her people.From that day down to thé présent time, mid ai e stirring events of the social and politi.life of the Pritish people, the wisdom of her course has been most marked, while acts of a more private nature have endeared her to the nation.Her influence for good.asa woman, has been most con.apicuous, and hence it is fitting that the women of Canada, the greatest colony over which floats the British flag, should testify their veueration and humble adwirtion on such an occasion nd Her Majesty's siaty-second birthday, and the forty-fourth of her yeign.To Queen Vie.toria is due the purifirationo!a rourt, which previous to her reign had not been remarkable for its purity ; und to her is due alsa the - sstablishinent 6f the strietest censorship on all matters of decorum and etiquette.Her passionates all-abrorbing love of * the good Prince Albert dignified the relations of a, wife in the eyes of der subjects.And when, hroken-hrarted, she disconsolately mournede his loss, the whole nation grieved as much for heras for the loss of her noble-henrted husband.The \u201cmanner in which Her Majesty's duty ns a soother has been performed needs no better com- mentarf than the splendid social and other acquirements of her children.The picture of the Queen, as nnostentatiously she visits the devoted patients in the hospital wards, or talks with the peasantry that\u201d she comes in contact with, a well kio®n toatl her subjects.Asa model of pure wéhanliness, she is the centre to which the \u201ceyes of the fair sex in all lands may turn with .xpidgy action of ths womens Shania is.originating this address is ost commendable.It is sought to make the addres à most general oue, containing the signatures of two ox three hundred thousand women in évery part of the Dominion.Books, containing the address, will be sent to every city, town, and village in the country, and when filled up with gignatures will be bound together and annexed \u2018to an iNuwi- nated copy of the address.It is to be oped 5 that all the Indies _ Hyoughout the entire Do- miuion will heartily join in helping to make this happy and well-timed movement a grand success.The New Powers of the Speaker in the Britiah House of Commons.\u201cThe darkest hour,\u201d says the proverb, \u201cis just before dawn.\" Recent events in the British Parliament seem to give point to the adage.Just when all order and discipline seemed to be at an end, when confusion seemed to be paramount and obstruction triumphant, à way was found out of re-establishing order, of putting a stop to confusion, and clearing a path for the work of legislation.There really seemed to be imminent danger at one moment that Parliamentary Government in Great Britain was about to be paralyzed and overthrown ; but mow we sce it rehabilitated and given a new leuse of life upder more favorable conditions.of the matter, but hold that liberty lias been seriously compromised by the new power that has been assumed of cutting short debate.But as reasonably might it be argued that the theoretical power which belongs to the Sovervign to veto all legislation and to 1anke, at any wo- ment, a change of Ministry, is a menace to freedom ; or that the powers of the House of Lords reduce those of the Commons to nullity.We | Know in point of fact that the Sovereign very rarely interposes in the real work of govern- : ment, and never intentionally thwarts the wishes | of the people ; and that the House of Lords 1 though at times obstructive, much prefers not | Au come into collision with the House of Com- mons.So Withthe new powers vested in the | Speuker.Under exceptional circumstances abuse them.In any case it docs not rest with He can only express to the House his opinion tliat the matter lwfore the House lus been sufficiently diséisse], and then, if the Government desire 10 close the debate, they must get a vote of 3 to 1 in fuvor of doing so.the Speaker personally 10 arrest delate.Now, under ne possess a majority ig the House of 3101.Mr.Gladstone to-day could only command such 4 majority against the Irish members by the aid of Conservative votes.Lookingto the future, therefore, there is little danger of the abuse of the new rule ; awd, in the present crisis it serves a very important purpose.The Land League party in the House of Commons desired to carry their point by paralyzing legislation, Now, this is something wholly apart from freedom of debate ; it is à simple defiance, on the floor of Parliament, of a power with which, out of Parliament,\u2014in any contest of physical force\u2014they ake no pretensions of being able to cope.The claim to adopt this line ot conduct is not one which any Government is called + carrying political chinges\u2014one is by constitutional means, that is by discussion, by appeals to public opinion in and out of Parliament ; the other is by an appeal to force.The course pursued by the Home Rüle members was really an appesl to force under the cover of constitu, tional forms ; and the Government acted wisely in putting a stop to what was simply, and almost avowedly, an abuse of the Parliamentary system.1f governments hereafter use wisely the power which the new rules give them much benefit to the country at large may be the result.A government that is in har \u2018mony with the people, and is seeking to give expression to the popular will, may be trusted with a large measure of power.The more power it has the more strict an account will the people be able to demand of the exercise of its functions.After all we sug gel thidye tie; and, if ol forms do not suffice, new ones must be invented, to the Irish question, we most earnestly trust that, now that the ground has been a huile cleared for useful legidation, Mr.Glod W ANTED TO PURCHASE,

position of your Company in regard to the reduction of rates to Boston by the D.& H.Railway.: Mr.Viall\u2014Yes, the information on which the the article in Suturday's STAR is based is entirely wrong.R.\u2014It is stated in that article that the distance to New York is 167 wiles greater by the Central Vermont than by the D.& H.route: is this the case?Mr.Viall-No, sir.They only cldim twenty miles in their advertisement, and it is really not so much as that.R.\u2014Is there any difference in the time made by your Company and the D.& H.to and from New York?: Mr.Viall\u2014Yes, there is a differance, we During the summer we beat their time by an hour, and thereby have an advantage over them in the matter of time.~ Ri-Hgve you any other advantages over your competitars ?ee Mr.-Vigll=-Yes ; we have two other routes to New York, and an one of them fun à later train out of \u2018Montreal vis Springfield; snd\u2019 we can ticket people to New York vis New Ex allowing them to stop over on the way and then return by the Hudson River route.R.\u2014Do the D.& H.come into direct na tural competition with you for the Boston business ?; Mr.Viall\u2014No.R.\u2014What, then, is
