IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT
(BY KLKCTttIO TKLKGRAPH. —COPYRIGHT). London, February 10. In the House of Lords the Marquis of Salisbury stated that the negotiations respecting the Newfoundland difficulty were in abeyance, as the rash criticism of the Government's action by the Gladstone party had induced Franco to believe that there was no hope of securing the execution of the award of tho arbitrators.
The speeches in both Houses of the Legislature were couched in a tone of deep sympathy for the death of the Duke of Clarence, and the fact that the Royal Family had not bid for a universal outburst of world-wide sorrow was much noted.
Sir Michel Hicks-Beach, President of the Board of Trade, replying to Mr Lowther's amendment regarding treaties, said th 3 provisions objected to were doubtless relics of a past generation, but the proposals suggested by the British Empire Trade League and others were a miserable substitude for a Zollverein between the colonies and Great Britain.
