The Duchesne investigation.
he Times Paris correspondent states
THAI Prussia sent notes to other powers on
tho sutlect OF her correspondence with
Belgium, and declared she would await the
result of the Duchesnc Investigation. The
writer youches for the trustworthiDess of
his information. bot il is probably incom-
plete, as the triyiality OF the German COM
plants does not justify the subsequent sig
n;tcant expressions. The graveat feature
of Prussia's note is that the complaints are
directed against the Belgians generally,

the Prussian-BeIgiun Question.
Specials IRON Paris regarding Prussia
note says Prussia demands new Legislation
on the part of belgium. Belgium refutes
Pru ssia's claim. Her note asserts she is
indeDendent and neutral; she has done
nothing that could alter her relations with
friendly nation which guarantees her
INDEPENDENCE.
Further Particulars.
A special dispatch from Paris to the Lon
don Tines says the Prussian note to Bel
GUM concerning the pastorals of the
bishops and other matters of offense after
enumersting the causes Of complaint, adds:
1t is scarcely possible that the laws OF Bel
GUM can not enable the government to
stop undertakings which might alter it's
relations with neighboring States. Neutral
States which wish to preserve the advan-
tage of their position should carefully avoid
anything which might alter the relations
with friendly nation which guarantees her
independence-tha principle of neutrality
which is the basis of their existence.
II Belgian laws do not contain the au-
thority necessary to obtain the legitimate
satisfaction claimed by the German govern
ment, the latter hopes Belgium will supply
the deficiency by fresh legislation.
The Paris correspondent gives the sub
stance of Belgium's answer to the Prus-
sian note. 1t refutes the claims put for.

toral letters complained of were published
at the beginning of the struggle in Ger
many against the Pope and ought now to
be forgotten. The address of sympathy to
the Imprisoned bishop of paderborn, an
other grievance alleged by Germany,
Belgium insists was the act of individuals, |
not of an organized society. The answer
continues:
Germany previously thanked the Bel |
gian authorities for their conduct in the |
matter of the Duchesne plot, an investiga-
ton into which is still proceeding. The !
Belgian laws are sufficient for the sup.
preston of actual Otlenses, but offenses Of |
intention can not be repressed. The liberty |
enjoyed by Belgium is drawn from the very |
vitals of the nation. The attitude of this |
people has always excited general admira.

neutral Belgium has never done ything.

Women's Rights in Parliament.
Tho greater part of two days session of
the House was occupied in the debate on
the right of women to vote for members of
Parliament. Smollett said the movement
originated with turbulent women in
America. The bill, if passed. would en-
franchise women who gained q livelihood
by immortality. Upon division the House
refused to order the bill to second read

minority.
