PARLIAMENT OPENED TO-DAY.

Wiint Her IIlgtmesM Jlnrt to Kay (be Condition of AflftlrM In Ir#l*nd-Hr«n«s oi the Buy. •.

JTBW YOKK, November 25.—A Ijondon cable says: The opening of parliament to-day was shorn of much of its old time brilliancy by the failarp of the sovereign to appear in person. Although 'it is understood that Lord Salisbury bad made a special plea to her majesty to honor what is not unlikely to prove the last session of the present Tory administration with her presence on the opening day, yet bis arguments proved unavailing, the queen deciding that her strength would not permit of her encoun tering the fatigue incident to the exercises or the possible results of exposure to inclement weather. In Radical circles, however, her decision is taken as indicating that she is not as much en rapport as formerly with Lord ^Salisbury and his colleagues, and it is regarded as singular to say the least, that while she could journey from Baltimore to Windsor, a trip which involves a rather rough ride, she could not risk a fiftymile rule in a saloon carriage from Windsor to London and back again. In ministerial circles the comment over her absenco is the reverse of complimentary.

The absence of all the glitter and tinsel of royalty however, did not prevent the usual large crowd from assembling in and around the yard of Westminster hall this morning. In accordance with time honored custom, dating from the time of ftuy Fawkee, theiovver halls and cellars of the House of Lords and the liouseof Commons were thoroughly scoured at day break for possible explosives. Needless to say none were discovered. The members"of the bouse commenced to arrive shortly after 10 o'clock. Mr. Balfour was one of the first to run the gauntlet of the outside throng. The chief secretary for Ireland-, was given a hearty burst of cheering byt the Conservative element, but this was instantly responded to by a chorus of derisive yells and shouts from a knot of Nationalists who had surrounded the north-eastern gate, ilis tisual imperturbability stood him ingdodetead, however, and he walked in the yard and entered the lobby of the house without recognition of either of the manifestations. The popularity of John Morley, who came on the scene a few momenta later, was evidenced by tke hearty welcome he received from both Tories and Irish. From this time on the arrivals were numerous, the members coming in twos and threes, and sometimes in parties of half a dozen.

Mr, Parnell, who was perhaps looked for more than anyone else, failed to pat in an appearance, while Lord Salisbury,

House of Lords'at a private entrance. The legislative chamber was fully twothirds tilled at noon when cheers on the out wide again and again repeated announced the arrival of Mi. Gladstone, and when the Grand Old Man, firm and erect, his eye sparkling and the glow of ruddy health in his cheeks, entered the chamber and took his regular seat below the gangway on the opposition side, the menibere of the Liberal element, led by the Irish contingent, rose to their feet and made the roof ol the historic chamber ring with applause. Although somewhat taken by stirpriie, "however, it wns evident that the leading statesman of England was profoundly affected by the spontaneous greeting. After half an hour's delay the Black Kod appeared to summon the members of th* house to the upper chamber for the purpose of listening to the Queen's soeech. and the invariable hel-ter-skelter for places of vantage ensued. The scene in the House of l^ords was a brilliant one, every seat in the diplomatic and ladies' galleries being occupied, and the diplomat® appearing tn full uniform and Oriental robes. When silence had been restored the Lord Chancellor, attired in his robes of scarlet and ertnine, ascended the wool-sack an-l the Queen's speech waa read by commission.

The Queen's speech says the general condition of Ireland is sensibly improved under the operation of salutary legislation. The queen hears with deep regret of the serious deficiencies of the potato crop in certain parts of Ireland, and that there are fears of a reocccurrence of a period of severe distress to which the population of western countics are partleularlv exposed. She trusts measures of her government will mitigate and diminish any suffering which mav occur. She continues: "It appears desirable for an increase ofcontentment and diminuation of political disturbances to take steps for augmenting the number of owner# engaged in the cultivation of the iar.d. A measure for this purpose will be laid before you. Proposal* will again be mad^ for remedying difficulties which have arisen with regard to tithe renUn England tod Wales.

E. W. Leeds, the popular Main street jeweler, has long been known as a devoted worshiper at the shrine of Diana, the goddess of the hunt. He is a sportsman from away back and withal, is as plucky as he is skillfull. On his recent trip down in the Arkansas wild woods he had an experience that tried his bundle of nerves to the utmost tension. He had killed a fine buck and was passing along through a secludtd stretch of woods when he found himself looking Btraight into the fine, open counteimnce of a genuine, unadulterated wild cat—a veritable catamount. A shot from his rifle failed to check the sudden onslaught of the beast and at it they went First Leeds on top then the cat. Then the cat then Leeds. For fully twenty minutes the itruegle continued, until Eli, with a skillful thrust of his knife, let out the life of the cat Mr. Leeds was badly scratched, but otherwise not seriously injured. He has handed the carcass of the cat over "to an Eastern taxidermist for mounting.

There is trouble at tne mines in Washington, Ind. The operatives there engaged in mining bituminous coal have been violating the scale recently established, agreed upon and intended to remain in force uutil May 1st "next. The attention of State Secretary Jno. H. Kennedy, of the United Miners and Mine Workers having been called to the matter, he succeeded in inducuu the men who had struck to return to work. At this stage the operators declared themselves and refused to re-employ those striking men who were charged with being instrumental in bringing about the trouble. The upshot of the unpleasantness is that all hands have gone out, the mines are closed down and Secretary Kennedy is on the ground using his best effort to heal the breech which thus far hasj widened rather than come together.

"'A Meeting of IriRh €itlxenn. The meeting of Irish citizens at the court house last night was largely attended and was enthusiastic and spirited throughout.

He Make* a Full CaofMutloa to the Head of the Mouse—The Folice Kwo»er and Return the Am»aat.|M $

A gambling case came to the surface to-day. Saturday a young man who is a trusted employe of a Main street establishment, and who is an excellent man in a business way, had in his possession $135, which belonged to the firm He was to have turned it in on Monday, but when he came to account for it he was $85 short It was incumbentupon him to make some explanation, instead of attempting to offer some excuse he did the manly thing by making a clean breast of everything. He confessed that he had been gambling in a room over Cassadv's and had lost the money.

The aftair was kept quiet There was no disposition to ventilate the matter. A NEWS representative heard an inkling of the circumstance It was learned that Superintendent Davis recovered the money which had been lost at the gaming table, and, walking into the Main street business house this morning, presented it to the head of the establishment The young man retains his position, but it is understood his experience has taught him to avoid the society of gamblers in the future. Gambling ought to be suppressed, and if games are in operation the police are not diligent. They are not doing their duty and are not obeying instructions.

Ethel Town® Appears in Court the Obnerved of All Observer*. Miss Ethel Towne, who has proven such a juggernaut to the cigarette-smok-ing Chawlies and Willies of the dude fraternity, was brought into the Circuit court room this morning by the sheriff, followed by her counsel, Fmley McNutt and Samuel Huston. The room was packed to the doors, and the trim little blonde was the cynosure of the hundreds of eager eyes. She appeared a triile nervous at first under the steadfast gaze of the motley throng, but by and by her benign and imperturbable demeanor returned, and the inveterate cigarette smoker was herself again. Much to the disappointment of the crowd, the proceedings were brief. The counsel for the defense waived arraignment, entered a plea of not guilty, and asked for an indefinite postponement, which was granted. Then Ethel was escorted from the room and returned to jail. Within two minutes the great crowd, grumbling and growling about the delay of courts, had filed out of the court room and disseminated itself in the busy city.
