LONDON, August 15.-Parliament was
prorogued at 2 o'clock this afternoon by
the royal commission.
The following Is the Queens speech
read from the Throne by Lord High
Chancellor:
ny Lords and Gentlsmea FL am happy
to be able to release you from your atten-
dance upon parliament. My relations
with all foreign powers, are Of a friend.
ly character, and I look forward conf.
IDENTIFY to the maintenance Of the good
understanding which now prevails. The
efforts which in common with other
powers, / have made TO bring about the
settlement Of difficulties, unfortunately
existing between the Porto and its
Christian subjects in Bosnia and Her
zegoyinia, have been hitherto unsuc-
cessful. The conflict begun in these
provinces have been extended in
10 Seryia and Montenegro. Should
favorable opportunity present itself l
shall be ready, in concert with my allies,
to offer my good Offices for the purpose
Of mediation between the contending
parties, bearing in mind alike the duties
imposed upon me by treaty obligations
and those which arise from considera-
tions of a humane policy.
A difference has arisen between my
government and that Of the United States
as to the proper construction Of an arti-
Gle in the treaty of the 9th of August,
1912, which relates to the mutual sur.
render Of persons accused OF certain Of
fenses. The Inconvenience to both coun.'
tries which would follow a cessation
OF the practice OF extradition are
great and obvious, and l entertain the
hope that new arrangements will soon be-
arrived at by which the matter will be
placed on satisfactory footing.
l am deeply thankful that my dear
son, the Prince Of Wales, has returned in
good health from a heightened journey
in India. His presence in that part OF
my dominions has given occasion for ex-
pressions of'feelings Of loyalty and deyo-
tion to the throne which highly value.
In pursuance Of power conferred upon me
l have by proclamation assumed the title
OF Empress OF India. In making, as re-
CARDS India, this additional ancient sty!e
OF my crown, l desire 10 record on tnis
occasion the peculiar interest 70 me anu
