The most sensational occurrence known te

Hellmau, who served tbe papers, had
nu nccuralu description of the man
and testified nt the bearing before Judge
MuHlrey of the common pleas court, that be
reoegnlzod tSiultli as tbe escaped prisoner.
The latter doclared his inability te nrove bis

Criminal laws of It eland,
Londen, Jan. 27.- Parliament was opened
today. Tbe fpeech from the tbrone was
read by I.eril Halsbury, the lord high chan
eel I or.
Referring te tlie relations of Great Britain
with the ether powets her majesty declares
that they were never tnore frlendly than at
prosent "Affairs In southeastern Kurepe,"
her majesty continues, "reuialu unsettlcd,
hut I de net apprehend a disturbance of the
peace of Kurope from the prosent unaJJusted
controversies In that region."
Referrlng te the Hutgarlan dispute the
queen says: "Whlle deploring the events
oempolllng Prlnce Alexander's rotlremont I
de uet Judge II expedient te Interfore with
the proceedings looking te the cloctlen et his
successor until tbey arrl ve at astage at which
my assent Is required under tbe previsions of
the Herllu treaty."
Regarding Kgypt, the queen says: "Our
task In L'gypt has net yet been accomplished
but a substantial advance has been made In
the establishment of external and Internal
tranquility In tbe affairs of that country."
"Rands of marauders have long been In
festing upper Llurmab, but tbey bave been
disposed and many et the leaders bave laid
down their arms. I am cenfldeut that a gen
eral pacification of llurmab will be attained
during the prosent season."
"The estimates te be submitted te Parlia
ment for tbe ensuing year have been framed
with careful regard toeconomy and tUlcieucy
of the publle service."
"Tbe condition uf Ireland still requires
anxious attention. Urave crimes have been
happily rarer In that country during the last
few months than for any similar period of
tbe preceding year, but the relations or the
owners aud occupiers of tbe land, which In
the early autumn exblblted numerous signs
of Improvement, have slnce been seriously
disturbed In some districts by organized at
tempts te Incite the latter te comblne against
the fulfillment or their legal obligations. The
efforts of the government te oepe with this
evil have been seriously Impeded by tbedlffi
cullies Incident te the methods at present pre
scribed by tbe statutes for deallng with auch
offenses. Your early attention will be called
te reform the legal proceduro, which seems
necessary, te secure a prompt and efficient
administration of tbe criminal law."
"Dills for tbe Improvement of tbe local
government or Kngland and Scotland will
aoen be submitted, and ahenld circumstances
render It possible they will be followed by
measures dealing with the Bame subject in
Ireland. Measures will also be presented
facilitating land transfers, altering the mode
of levying tithes; amending the procedure
lu criminal courts of Scotland dealing with
the regulation of railway rales, and prevent
ing the fraudulent use et trade marks."

Londen, Jau. 27. The opening scenes of
Parliament were duller than usual. The
crowds which gathered te witness the as
sembling wero smaller and showed consid
erable less enthusiasm than heretofore, only
Mr. Gladstone, Lord Churchill, and n few
ether leading men) bera receiving any cheers.
That members are uncertain In their views
regarding the future is made evident by
many el the recognizable signs which usually
prccede a ministerial crisis. Tery membcrs
lacked tbe air of confidence which tbey car
rled before the dissolution, and Liberals ap
peared eemewbat curious te what would hap hap
peu ncxU When Lord Randelph Churchill
entered the Heuse he made directly for a
coveted seat just below tbe gangway, but
found tbat the Right Hen. Henry Chaplin,
Conservattvo member for Stamford, had
forestalled lilm. Lord Churchill lifted the
hat he teuud en the bench, examined it
critically aud read Mr. Chaplin's card
which lay lu the bat Lord Uaudelf hwas en
gaged a full minute In taking in the situation-
He tben smiled and took a back seat
It is notorious tbat there is a loud existing
between Lord Randelph and Mr. Chaplin,
and this little sceno is but the prelude te
mere lively ones before the session is far ad
vanced. The queen's speech excited but little Inter
est The weather was damp and foggy.
