KING'S INFLUENCE IS PROBLEMATIC THE IRISH MEMBERS THREATEN TO MAKE TROUBLE IN NEW f KING'S FIRST PARLIAMENT. London, Feb. 16. Attention of Eng-Jiishimen- acuntinues Ito dwell upon the fact that a king sits upon the throne. The change doesn't 'touch 'the lives of the people tout their life long concep tions off monarchical institutions have (been swept away, and popular imagi nation jls only now (beginning to feel the full effect of it all. .

The first parliament-of King Edward VII. promises to go down in history as "tbe gag p rlia ment," if the pnogram of the Irisn memtoers is carried out, since the vari ous factions (have united and a plan of parliamentary campaign, has been adopted which is iikely to make the present session one of the liveliest on record. Every pdace of government (legislation is to toe opposed up to the point where the, closure is necessary and all private toills are to be talked to death. (With eighty "'determined Irishmen combined into relay and comantittees for continuous opposition,'- the cam paign of obstruction is certain to be unprecedented. "We willll infterefere in every piece of English legislation" said Mr. John Redmond the new leader tof the Irish party.
