THE IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
IMPORTANT STATEMENT, (Reuter’s Telegrams.) London, July 6. Parliament assembled yesterday. After the adjournment, in the House of Lords the Premier, Lord Salisbury, announced that Her Majesty’s Government would resume negotiations with Russia on the Afghan Frontier question at the point to which they had been continued by Earl Granville, late Foreign Secretary, and would fulfil the promise made to the Ameer of Afghanistan that the retention of Zulficar Pass should be assured whatever settlement was arrived at between England and Russia. It was imperative to promptly and vigorously prepare for the protection of our Indian frontier, and more than that, to stretch somewhat beyond it in order to prevent the tide of war breaking against it. Referring to the Egyptian question Lord Salisbury stated that the matter was one which would require some time to settle. Earl Carnarvon, the newly-appriiited Lord-Lieu tenant of Ireland, assured the House that during his term of office he should endeavor firmly to administer the ordinary laws of the country.
