Geo. Jickson in ths chair. After reading of the scriptures, the Rev. C. Fletcher led in prayer. The. minutes of the last meeting were read and adopted after which arrangernenta were made for the April meeting. On motion, Rev. Mr. Jackson was appointed to prepare,a paper on Spiritualism, and Rev. C. Fletcher a sermon on Matthew 5 S. On motion it was agreed to put forth efforts to secure a reduction of the number of hotel and shop licenses.. Revs. Martin and Locke were appal'', ted to visit the Ex- eter pouncil ; Revs. Jackson and Butt to interview the Stephen council, and Revs. Fletcher and Butt to wait upon the Usbortie council. It was thought in some cases the number of licensed places was out of all •proportion to the population, especially in the township of Stephen, where it waa reported there were no less than ten licensed hotels. Rev. C. Fletcher finished his lengthy, but masterly critique of Drummond's Ascent of Man. Where other scientists saw great gulfs between the different stages of evolution, Drummond seemed to see but little e ifficulty, , and by the easy flow of language carried the reader from the immoral to the moral, and from the material to the spiritual. The style was fascinating and thearguments specious. Rev. G. Jackson read a ser- mon on Jeremiah 6 : 28, in which he cited the moral condition of Israel and the dispersion of the Jew, .caused by disobedience to Divine cominanda. Here was a distinct connection between sin and its consequences, and this was in accordancrevitle the plan and pur- pose of God. Thb' remedy was the grace of God in glib heart. Rev. H. W. Locke furnisheda paper on a "Preacher's prepatation for the pulpit" in which was noticed the physical, mental and spiritual condition neces- sary to a thorough preparation. A pleasant and profitable discussion took place on both the essay and the ser- mon, and the meeting adjourned to be held again the first Monday in March in. the Main street Methodist church.

The annual meeting of the South Huron County Orange Lodge was held in Exeter on Tuesday, and despite the cold, disagreeable weather, and the bad state of the roads, the attendance was equal to the average on such occasions. Many new faces were seen, while the majority of the familiar old figures.who have graced the various Orange gather- ings for the past half century were absent from this meeting, no doubt owing to the inclemency of the weather. The meeting was opened at 10 o'clock with County Master Todd in the chair. After routine business the election of officers took place, resulting as follows: - County Master; Bro. John Neil, Cen- tralia ; Deputy C M., G. M. Kilty, Summerhill ; Chap„ Rev. W. Stout, Clinton ; Rec.- Secy., Peter Cantelon, Clinton ; Fin. -Secy., Jas. Colwill, God. erich ; Treas., Jno.

George Hanley, of Clinton, one of the oldest Orangemen in the county and who has in fact been identified with the order since 1839, was elected Honorary Chaplain, having held the office of County Chap'ain dur- ing the past nine years: Several elo- quent speeches, overflowing with in- struction and very edifying, were deliv- ered by several of the brethren. Among other resolutions passed was one con- gratulating Sir Mackenzie Bowell upon his elevation to the Premiership of this grand Dominion, as also on the titles conferred upon him by Her Majesty Queen Victoria. Itwas decided to cele- brate the Battle of the Boyne in Sea - forth on July 12th,and to hold the next annual meeting in Exeter.. The semi- tuintial,nneetbag takes place in Hensall in June.

THE ANTI -LORDS RESOLUTIONS These Were Loft Out of the Speech, But Will be Introduced in the Com- nxons — Lord Herseliell Ex- plains—Proceedings in the Commons. pgSsirson, Feb. 6. -Parliament re -as- sembled yesterday with the customary ceremonies. The session Was opened at 2 &aback in the afternoon by the reading by cominission of the Speech from the Throne. There was a fair attendance of members of the House of Commons, but few of the members of the 'Upper House were present. In the Speech from the Throne the Queen referred to the war between China and Japan and the Armenian outrages and noted the fact that offenses against the law in Ireland have sunk during the past year to the lowest level which has hither- to been marked in the official record. In regard to the work of the session the Queen in her speech says: "Proposals will be submitted to you for remedying the defects which experience has brought to light in the working of law governing the landlord and the tenant in Ireland and for dealing with the cases of certain evicted tenants -whose situation still con- stitutes a peril to sbeial order. A bill will be presented dealing with the church establishment in Wales. Bills will also be laid before you having for their object popular control of the liquor traffic, the abolition of the system of plural voting and a provision for the payment of charges of returning officers of elections. The commission issued in 1893, to report as to the best means of unifying the govern- ment of the metropolis has presented its report and a bill will be laid before you founded uponits recommendations. A. proposal will be submitted to you facilitat- ing the construction of light railways, a measure which rtrust will be found bene- ficial to the rural districts. Bills will alsa be presented to you for the prOmotion of means of conciliation in trades disputes and amending the Factory Acts, and you will also be asked to consider measures for the completion of a county government in Scotland, and for further legislation in respect to the Crofter population in that country." In the tipper House. In the House of Lords Lord Salisbury, speakingbf the references in the Queen's speech to the Armenian troubles, said he would not at present say much about the Armenian 'difficulty, inasmuch as the matter was under investigation. He ex- ' pressed doubt, however, whether the pro- posed inquiries would prove exhaustive. The question was a thorny one and the Government must be careful not to excite hopes among any section of. the Armenian population that they were not prepared to see fulfilled. In regard to the anti -Lords question, Lord Salisbury said "We do not read in the speech anything of that most portal- tious resolution which the Premier an- nounced and 'which he asked the support of the people in carrying into effect. The doubles of treatment and tactics employed in the matter seem to indicate that there are two leaders in the Ministry." Lord Rosebery said he cordially agreed witn Lord Salisiniry in regard to Armenia, in which matter the British Government acted in accord with the governments of Russia, France and Italy. In respect to the other matters, he said the Government would endeavor to fulfil all their pledges. The anti -Lords resolutions, he said, would be introduced in the House of Commons. It would not have been respectful to Par- liament to have included it in. the Queen's s p ahcDuke of Devonshire said he doubted whether the Government Won't' be able to carry their programMe with the exception Of the Irish Land bill, which both sides might think it necessary, to pass, 13aron Ilerschell, Lord Chancellor, sur- prised the House by stating his desire to make a personal statement. Instantly the ' House was hushed, and theLord Chalice'. lor said that he wished to speak of the ac- cusations of misconduct which had been made against him in the English preas. Within the past few Weeks, he said, ' charges had been made that he had sought to transfer Justice Sir Roland Vaughan Williams frinri the Queen's Bench divison of the Righ Court of Justice for the pur- pose of removing him from a place of power to proceed rigorously against cer- tain persons in high place when they were involved in questionable financial trans. aetions. These hints and positive state- ments„ Lord Berscnall said, were positive- ly untrue, and he desired to put himself on record as having' denied thent absolute - 11.14.0 Qten's aptutCht Wad agreed to ottid the Peers adjourned. In lhe Commons. In the Commons, Mr. Balfour said bet was not disposed to make any comment upon that part of the Queen's speech deal- ing, with foreign matters, believing it .would. be harmful to interfere with the ' Government in their management of the details of .such questions. Ile would say, however, that he deplored the fact that the speech made no mentioa of the navy,. The House ought not to be left in doubt in regard to the continuance of the naval programme. It was a matter of infinitely more importance than any that had beets touched upon in the speech, and he was therefore surprised that no mention' had- beHenommeadesoefierentary Asquith, Mr. John: Morley, Chief Secretary for Ireland, and Sir William Harcourt, Chancellor of the Exchequer, respectively gave forma,' no- tice of the introduction of the Welsh church disestnblishment. Irish land and local veto bills. Mr. Chan E. H. Vincent, member for Central Sheffield, called at. tention to the omission in the speech fro= the throne of references to colonial ques- tions, especially those dealt with tit thej intercolonial conference at Ottawa. - Mr. Sydney Charles Buxton, Parliamen- tary Secretary to the Colonial Office, re- plying for the Government, said that the question discussed at the •Ottawa confer- ence had received careful attention, and the Government intended at the present session to introduce a bill to enable the Australasian colonies to enter into fiscal relations with each other and with Canada. 'Ile Coroner's jury at Guelph on Thum day brought itt a verdict of manslaughter against John Cass in connection with thel, death of John L. Johnson. They found that Alm Katting was accessory to the of- fence, and condemned the landlords of the hotels that supplied the deceased with linuor after he was intoxicated.
