IMPORTANT SPEECH BY LORD SALISBURY.
London, January 28 In the House of Lords last night the Address m Reply to the Queen's speech was voted. Lord Salisbury stated that the resignation of Lord Randolph Churchill was a loss to the Government. It was due to a patriotic desire for economy m the public expenses. The step taken by Lord Randolph appeared to his colleagues somewhat hasty, but it was hoped that the difference would not be a lasting one. Lord Salisbury expressed pleasure m welcoming Mr Goschen into the ranks of Ministry. Referring to the foreign policy of the Government, he denied that England had sought to restore Prince Alexander to the throne of Bulgaria. Her Majesty's Government were not opposed to the extension of Russian influence m Bulgaria, provided this did not become domination which would be fatal to the interests of Europe. The vast increasing armaments of Continental Powers were a source of danger to the peace of Europe. The danger, however, had not been lately increased. Both Lord Lyons, the British Ambassador m Paris and Sir Edward Mallet, Ambassador at Berlin, had declared the feeling m both cities was of a pacific character.
