"MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN." Victoria Opens Parlia ment With a Speech. Her Majesty Fiuds a Satisfying State of Afftirs. The Arioantau Atrocities, the Condition ot Affaire In Ireland and Other Hattera Berarred to. l,ondon, Feb. 5. —The fourth leeeion of tbe thirtieth parliament waa opened by Queen Victoria at 2 o'clock: thin after noon. The queen's speech tvm an fol lows : My Lobds and Gknixkmkn:—My re latione with foreign powers remain friendly and on a satisfactory footing. An agreement bae been concluded, after protracted negotiations between my government aud that of the Kronen re public for a settlement of the frontier between my colony at Sierra Leone and neighboring French possession*. I regret to aay war between China aud Japan still continues. I have main tained a close and cordial nnderstand ing with the powers interested in these regions, and shall lose no favorable op portunity of promoting peace and the termination of the contest. In consequence of reports which reached my government of excesses committed by Turkiih troops, regular or irregular, on Armenians iv a distriot in Asia Minor, I thought it right, in con junction with other powers, to make representations to tbe porte. The sul tan has declared bis intention of severely punishing any of his ofiiccrs or ■oldiers who have been guilty ot such acts, and has Bent a oommiasion to con duct an investigation on the spot. Del egates from the powers and consuls at Etieroum will accompany this ooinmis aion. lam happy to observe the striking fact tbat in Ireland offaoaee of all kinds against the law have sunk during the past year to tbe lowest level ever marked in tbe official records. Propos als will be submitted to you for remedy ing the defects which experience has brought to light in the working of the law of landlord and tenant in Ireland, and the dealing with certain evioted tenants, whose situations still continue a peril to social order. A bill will be presented to yon dealing with ohorch establishment in Wales. Bills will also be submitted for popular control of the liqnor traffic and aboli tion of plural voting and provision for the payment of charges of returning officers at elections. Also bills for the nnification of Lon don and facilitating the construction oi light railways, which I trust will be in every district. In view of the agricaltnral depression, • bill for the promotion of conciliation in trade dispntes, and amendment to factory accounts; a bill for the comple tion of a system of county government for Scotland and for farther legislation for the crofters will be inbmitted to yon. Formal business was resumed in the house at 4 o'olock with the swearing in of new members, etc. Tbe party laud era were cheered on taking their seats. The various ministers gave notice tbat they would introduce on Thursday next the different bills mentioned in tbe queen's epeeob. Mr. ilobhouse, who wore court dress iv moving the address in reply to the queen's speech, congratulated the house on tbe fact tbat tbe policy oi concilia tion pursued the last three years toward Ireland had produced the happy result of quietude there. After Mr. Holland had seconded the address, Mr, Balfour alluded ia eulo gistic terms to the late Lord Randolph Churchill, and then oaid that he would not refer to foreign affaire, as the oppo sition did not intend to embarrass the government iv those matters by criti cisms uttered in public so long as the government proposed to take care of .English interests. Mr. Balfour wanted to know why the navy was not mentioned iv the speech, and be objected to the suggestion tbat tbe improvement of affaire in Ireland was due to tbe conciliatory policy for the last three years. This improve ment had been continuous ior some years past prior to the advont of John Morley. He ridiouled the programme of the government. The whole position of the government was so curious that he hoped that some authoritative mem bers would move an amendment to the address co that the house oould express its opinion on tbe subject. Sir William Vernou Harcourt, after paying tribnte to the memory of Lord Randolph Churchill, said in regard to tbe navy that the government intended to loyally carry out its policy as already announced. Tbe governmont believed the permanency oi tranquillity in Ire land depended on a wise syetem oi self government. They would continue to pursue that great end and would labor to carry into effect a plan which should be satisfactory to tbe Irish people. Justin McCarthy said he bslieved tbe improving condition of Ireland waa due to the Irish people who now felt tbat they had strong friende in Great Britain and bad strong hope from the present government and Ifrom the people o! Great Britain. He hoped tbat tbe gov ernment would consider that tbe time had come for extending of amnesty to the Irish political prisoners. Some things had been done for laborers in Ireland and there should be legislation in regard to Irish land which would tend to relieve the agricultural depression in Ireland when depression meant starva tion. Charles Howard Vincent, conserva tive, moved an amendment to the ad dress in reply to the queen's epeeob, declaring that etepß should be taken to remove statutory or treaty obstacles to a customs union between the different parts of the empire. Sydney Buxton replied in behalf oi the government. He said the qaeen's speech nt the cloning of the last session of parliament referred to the Ottawa conference and therefore any further reference waecouoidered needless ou the present occasion, but tbe government had no intention to slight the colonies. The government had given the matter attention, and proposed to take action on one point during the present sosaiou. Action on the other point would follow. He agreed that the Australian, like other eeli-ruliog colonies, should he allowed to enter into fiscal arrangements with one another. In view of the state ment made by Mr. Buxton, Mr. Vincent withdrew bis amendment. Ia the house oi lords formal bneineos waa resumed at tbe same hour as in the house of commons. The prinoe of Wales and duke of York were seated on the cross benches. \ The attendance was large and tbe gal leries were crowded by peeresses and their friends. Lord Welles.ey, in moving tbe address tn mr>lr to tho q'ONfl'l epaech, said he- j regretted thai tne BrltUh htrjaers had nut eatflclently utilized the home mama!, for tlioir produce, tnstnad of allowing for eign countries to «end so mntti bore. Tho Binrqaii oi Kaliabnry expressed | satisfaction at the fact that ttia troubles iv to the frontier at Pierra Leoun ha i been terminated in a manner grati fying to nil concerned. In regard to Armenia, he (aid he would not make definite observation, as the matter waa stiK sub -j tidies. -■ At tho same time he would cay that tho outrages were com mitted by many persons who were uot officers or soldiers of the sultan, and it is certain that if the outrages were com mitted they were separated by one or tho other of tho two religions communis ea of that coun try. The worat policy they could pur sue wouid be to give any section of that community tbe impression that either particular claims were to teceive outside support. He wished lo state that the Conservatives had uot necessarily aa eonted to the course taken tiy the gov ernment bectiuie they had abstained from criticism. • Referring to the agitation againat the houae oi lords, tha marquis said that as the cuneervative government was the ouly government which ever proposed to reform the house of lordn ; it could hardly lie in the mouth of tbe govern ment to reproach the houao of lords with not having adopted tbe reform. When it came to a question of limiting the power of that body he thought they would find the country wob op poaed to it. He could nudeiatand peo ple wanting to reform the bouse of lorda or to sweep it away, but the proposition to keep the house in exist ence as a sham was ridiculed. Before proposals could bs osrri ed there would be an appeal to tho country. THE UNEASY REPUBLICS RUMORS OF WAR AND PEACE IN MEXICO.

The Olark of the Uounell Had Stnok IB Blooka to Otye Oat—tn Invssti a-atlon to Ba Had. Special to The Herald. Phi la delpui a, Pa., Feb. s.—lt hav ing been charged that $359,000 had been' paid to secure the passage of the Mu tual telephone bill through tho city council, a committee of investigation was appointed to probe this matter. John D, Heracb, chief promoter of the scheme, ran away, but today the com mittee secured the transfer bonds of the oompany and the revelations were startling. It was shown that Charles A. Porter and David Martin, who manipulate tbe council! and run the machioo here, had been paid 1525 shares each of stock of the concern, the value of the 3050 shares being $150,000. Among the effacts of late Hugh T. Piggot, a common council man, was found six shares of the stock of the company. The books showed that J. C. Gale, clerk of the telephone oompany, held in trust blocks of stock in six and twenty shares. The latter blocks were for tbe select councilmen and the six sbr.ro lots for the common councilmen, it is believed. The finding of the Piggot shares gave the tlung away. Politicians and councilmen are badly scared, as each will be called to swear whether be received any stock. The penalty for bribery is $10,000 fine and five years' imprisonment. FLYIMU MACHINE. Tli-y May be PerOctel, Uat Man Hlru- e*lf Will Nerer K« Aula to Fly, London Daily News. Mr. Hiram Maxim, the inventor of the fa mous gun which bears his name, is a firm be liever in the possibility of so far perfecting fly ing machines that they may be used in war fare. He has been explaining his views ou this subject to a contributor to Oasscll's Saturday Journal, who has been to see him at his English residence at Rexley. Mr. Max im thinks that highly civilized nations able to make ami use first-rate machinery, will in the near future utilize dying machines in their armies. This mode of warfare, ho be lieves, could be carried ou in spite of arma ments and weapons of war as we understand them now, und if one civilized nation used flyintr machines in such a way, oth-.TH would he compelled to foEow suit. At the same time lie has no faith iti navigable balloons, the whole thlng being inherently wrong. In France, especially, attempts have been mudc to navigati balloons, and vast sums of monoy have been spent upon them; but no bal oon has ever been navigated against even a very light, wind. Another point. Mr. Maxim thinks, is this, that man will never be able to fly hy energy derived from his own muscles. A man with sufficient energy would have to weigh 75 pounds, to have 40-pound muscles to his arms and 7J-pound muscles to his chest, and he would have to have a breastbone 28 inches deep. A I.T4K OF Jit) 'If. Six Billion JDamaik Bad* Gathered Every Yo»r t« Mak« It. London Public opinion. Since Iho emancipation of the Haitian prov inces the manufacture of attar oi roses hai be come h great industry in Bulgaria, and has been taken up on ■ large scale in (iormany. We have all bceu accustomed to connert the fabrication of attar ol roses with Persia and Syri i, and even now India and Constantinople furnish probably the largest markets for it; but, although, the art of making-tt was discov ered in Persia, the manufacture has now nearly or quite died out, and tho center of tho busi ness is now tho country about Kazanlik, on tho south slope of the Balkans, close to tho Hhipka, or Wild Rose Pass, famous in the his tory of the Russo- Turkish war. The rose-grow ing belt is situated at an average altitude of lOuO feet above the sea, and extends to a length of about 70 miles, with an average breadth of 10 miles. 0:i this ground are pro dueod annually from 5.000,000,000 to 6,000, --000,000 rose blossoms. The number of varieties cultivated is very small. Ninety per cent, of all the blossoms are taken from a bushy variety of the roaa damascene or dam-tsk rose, known to our gardeners muiniy us the ancestor from which' the infinite variety of hybrid perpetual roses derive a large part of their blood. Of the re maining 10 per cent, a part are gathered from tho white musk rose, which is frequently plauted us a hedge uronud (he fields of pin l ; dam awe ua, while the m-m are furiiWhcd by a daik-rod variety uf damasceua. Other sorts of ' roses have been tried, but some yield no afar ; at all, aud others give an essence having tho | perfumo of violets, or pineapple, or hyacinth, j rather than of roses. THE AMKKLCAN LEMON. ; F orldtf and CallTurnln Frail Destined to 1 According to liie best available statistics, j the annual consumption of lemons in the j United States approximates 3,0U0,0000 boxes, I j containing 300 to r.i'.n each. The importations ' from Sicily alone In lb!*:, wore "J.TOO.OuO ; boxes. In former years several hundred thou- j baud boxes were annually received from Mai- j aga. That was. however, before tho planters of Florida, realizing that they were overdoing the orange-raising business, turned their at tention to lemons. A fruit importer of Stone street explained the altered condition of the lemon market to a World reporter. He said: "The Florida lomon. of which there were marketed last year 300. --000 boxes, or about 72,000,000 lemons, are iv the first place superior tn every respect to the Malaga lemon, They aro ready for picking and packiugduring the last week of Septem ber, and tnroughout tho months of October and November. This is the season during which the Malaga lemon.arrives in the United States. There is no market, however, for the latter ugaiust Its jvc er and fresher and alto gether more admirable rival from our own Southland. "Hut the Florida supply of 72,000,003 is but a drop in the bucket, as it were, when com pared to the total consumption. If tho United States were to depend upon th eFlorida sup ply, there would be no lemons seven month of tbe year, as the fruit is difficult to keep. Hence the market is supplied by import.tion from Sicily, which continues from late iv November of each until September of tho following year. The Florida lemon, it will be seen, i a without a rival tor about two months each fall. In this connection it will be of interest to fruit growers to know that the Flor ida lemon is superior even to tho Si cilian lemon, and some young trees sent by me to the chamber of commerce ut Palermo were set out in the island of Hlcily, where they I thrived wonderfully and have grown in popu larity. Lemons arc grown in California iv quantities sufficient to supply tbe demand on Ltie slope and many orange-growers there and others are setting out young lemon trees with a, view lo supplying Iho American market eventually, 'I he acreage of teutons increas ing there every year. I "The planters eJ Florida and <;* Hfornle wJ find moro money in lemons th.-in tn oranges '1 he supply of tho latter exceeds the demand. There aro enough orange trees planted in Florida today to snpply the markets of the world. The uses ol tile fruit are limited, when us lemons aro used iv many combina tions—ln food, in drinks. In fiavoriug, in gar nishing aud in medicine. The consumption of lemons for drinks In the summer is enor mously large, and by cheapening the price the consump ion will still further increase." ATTACKED BY STRIKER*. A Policeman RourMt Handled In- Brooklyn. Brooklyn, ret*. s.—Late this evening when a car of the Flushing avenue line icached the corner of Brigg3 avenue and Leonard <*tr*ot, on Hi way down town, a crowd of about BO strikers appeared and bogan hurling stones and other missiles at it A huge piece of iron went crashing through one of ilie window*, followed by a shower of rocks. Policeman Thomas Petider, who was acting as guard to the car, was set upon by tho rioters and beaten almost into, insensibility. Several policemen went to the rescue. A number of arrests were made and it was ascertained that several people had been severely bruised in the encounter, although none of them seri ously. A trolley car of the crosj-town Hue came into collision this afternoon with a hearse that headed a funeral procession. The hearse was completely wrecked; the casket containing the remains Wat thrown into the. street, the driver of the hearse being severely bruised by the fall.

BAD NEWS CONFIRMED BRUNSON AND HIS WIFE FEE LSHED ON *JHE ELBE. Tha Foreign Ottcn in Oa-rmany Mskn Special Inquiry Into tbe IU attar. San Francisco, Feb. 5.— There can no longer be any aoubt as to the fate of Capt. John M. Brunson and his wife, the Boroness Yon Born ekow. A dispatch from the G'ruian emperor, through the foreign ofliee, confirms the first report that they went down with the Elbe in the North sea. Lieutenant J. L. Walter of this city, who was a member of Cap am Hrunson's company, was among the most ardent of those seeking in formation of the missing couple, and on Sun day last Mr. Walter, at tho earnest solicitation of Brunson, sent a telegram to Kaiser Wilhelm, Emperor of Germany, asking if Brunson and wife were on the Elbe. This murning an an swer came through the foreign office, giving the ages of the Brunsons antl the fact that they were from San Francisco, leaving no doubt that Captain Brunson and his wife were drowned. A THIEF'S' RUSE. Took Advantage of the Widow* F«ar of H«r Oe»d llLiil)v'(f4 Ohoir. London Telegraph. A tradesman's widow of 35 summers decided on marrying again. She was in comfortable circumstances but was haunted by the dread of the apparition of her defunct hu-band's ghost, am, thought that the presence of a suc cessor might have the effect of keeping It away. All went well ior three months after the wedding, at least so far at the ghost was concerned, but nevertheless the c iuplc some how fell out aud determined to apply ior >\ divorce. In the mean lirnj the man went his own way and his spouse remained at her abode A day or two ago, just as the witching hour oj midnight had struck, the lady beheld, by tbe pale moonlight, a figure wrapped in what she believed to be a shroud her room. Cun\ inced that t n is must be t he dreaded ghost of her firtt husband, she hid her head under the bedclothes, and so passed the night in a slate of abjert terror. She grew bolder when the sun was up and then perceived that her wardrobe wjs open and that the sum of 550 francs had disiippearefi. Manifestly the ghost could not have been the perpetrator of the ihcfL A visit was promptly paid to the police commissary, the adventuie related, and it having transpired that the locks hud not beentumpeied with und that husband No. 2 was provided with a key of the apartment, ho was sent fo/. At first ne tried to deny, but at last he confessed that he hud taken the money, naving wrapped himself up iv a sheet, as he was aware of !; Is wife's weakness in regard to ghosts. The police commissary cleverly seized this opportunity of reconciling the couple, and there is no more talk of a suit for a divcrce. Hpnroirei mt Rl*?jrol«*i. Wilmington, Del., Feb. fl.—The Rev.

AN IMPORTANT SUIT CAUSED BY ITS SklK. Waiter S. li.iwcll. tha rialntlil, Maka> Bomi rJinrtllDg- All.ca ttoat. Riverside KnUrpriie: The deal by which the famous Good Hope mine pugged into the bandg of the company now working it, is made the mbjact of a somewhat sensational gait that wag begun in the guperior court here yestet day, The plaintiff ia Walter 8. Max well, a well known resident of Los An geles. The defendants are the Good Hope Mining; company, Dudley Porter, John L. Hobgon, Chariea W. Morse, VC. H. Griffith, John M, 8. Kgan, Jacob Fillius. Charles M. Derickson, and sev eral others. Maxwell, the plaintiff, thinks that when tbe minea wore sola to the east ern syndicate aome time ago he did not receive anything like the chare to which he was entitled. His side ol the case ie told in a complaint to the following ef fect: Maxwell and \V. H. Griffith were in partnership for the purpose of selling the Good Hope claim and the Annex mine. Griffith did the negotiating with the parties who bought tbe prop erties and cloaca up tbe trade. Max well assisted him by securing a bond on tbe mums and furnishing reports and maps. Under the terms of the bond there waa to be paid to the owners o! the properties $230,000. Griffith sold the mine to a syndicate for $490,000. Tbe syndicate was represented in the deal by Charles W. Morse, Dudley Por ter aud John 1.. Hobson. The owners of the property deeded it to Griffith in 189:; for $232,000. He paidtham $150,000 in cash aud gave them a mortgage on the property to seeurs notes for $100,000. These notes were payable to James M. Bigafus and were due July let, IS',H. Ac cording to the complaint at the time the money was paid and mortgage giveu Griffith, Morse & Kgan represented to Maxwell that the property brought ■•air t250,Q00, the owners receiving $2,3:.'.000 | aud Griffith, Morse & Kgan each $6000. i Maxwell had notified Morse and Kgan of his partnership with Griffith, and was I assured by them that $6000 waa alt that Griffith waa making ou the deal. Max well settled with tbein on that basis, but in the purchase of the mines Morse and I. it an acted as tbe agents of a syndicate which was buying them fur $-100,000 and Griffith instead of getting only $5000 out oHpne deal, had an agreement with MWse and Kgan by which Griffith was | to make $168,000. The complaint tben tells of the forma tion of the Good Hope Mining company with $1,000,000 capital atock. to which the property waa deeded, Griffith taking I one-eighth of tbe capital stock in lien of | $25,000 of the purchase price. It ii I averred that ol Griffith's $168,000 profit, I $18,000 was included in a mortgage to j Bigafus, which mortgage was a first lien j and the notes for $18,000, secured by this mortgage, were delivered to the | parties entitled to them. After receiv- I Ing the deed from tha owners of tbe minos and after giving the mortgage, Griffith deeded the property to Porter, Hobson & Morse, and at the same time | they executed a mortgage to secure I notes fur $125 000, being the balance of | profit to be received by Griffith. Tha complaint deolares that Moree, Porter, I Hobson and Griffith conspired to dc ii fraud Maxwell out of his just share of tne profits aud that tbe mortgagees and aud payeea mentioned in the notes are not legally tbe owners of them. The complaint alleges that the deed made by Hobsoo, Porter & Morse to tbe Good Hope Mining company was made subject to tbe payment of the two mortgagee above mentioned of $100,000 aud $125,000 respectively ; that of the notes lor $125 000 lor Griffith's share, one for $108,000 made to Jacob Fillins has come into possession of the Good Hope Mining company, but baa not been paid; that plaintiff believes that : tbe partiea who were legally bound to pay tha $100,000 mortgage instead of doing so and canceling it of record have ! raised the money and bought it, the | purpose being to cheat plaintiff; that al< j tbe facts of tbe case are known to the I Good Hope Mining company. | In conclusion the complaint asks that the plaintiff receive one-half of the one' I eighth of the stock of the company is ! nied to Griffith and tbat plaintiff haya> ! ona-baif of tha note* mentioned in the | mortgage given by Hobson, Portar & I Morse; that the mortgage bs foreclosed and the property sold, and that in tha ! meantime a receiver be appointed tn ! take charge of the mining property.
