THE QUEENS SPEECH.

Her Majesty Touches Lightly Upon
 the Samoan and Egyptian Troubles.
 LONDON, Aug. 30.-No unusual feature marked the propagation of Parliament to-day. In the Queens speech road in the House of Lords her Majesty said:
 "NY LoRDs-It is with much satisfaction that release you from the labors of a pro tracted session. My relations with the other powers are most cordial, and since the begin ing of the session nothing has happened to diminish my confident expectation that the peace of Europe will remain unbroken. The ouly exception to the tranquil course of events has been the partial attempts of the Aahdists to invade the southern frontier of Egypt. "A conference held i, Berlin has agreed upon convention regulating the government of the Samoan Islands. The instrument has been accepted by me and by the German Em- peror, and now awaits the assent Of the Amer ican Senate.
 "At my suggestion the King of the Bel. gians has consented to summon conference
 of the European powers at Brussels to con'
 slider the slave trade by land and sea and de-
 hberate upon measures for arresting or miti-
 gating Its evils"

Hines has personal animosty against o. Sullivan. Lawyer Forest, on behalf of Coughlin, and Senator Kennedy on behalf of Burke made similar objections. The mo- ton was overruled and the questioning of the talssmen as to their oompe-
 tency to serve as jurors was begun.
 The first men questioned was MT. A. G..
 Barger. The drift of the questioning was to
 ascertain whether MT. Barger had ever be- longed to any secret organization. notably the Clan. Gael; whether he knew any of the defendants or had any prejudice for or against them, and whether he had formed an opinion on the case or not. Mir. Barger'e answers were all in the negative, and he was accepted by the State. No other jurors were secured before adjournment.

 California prize fighter, by Sheriff Coffin of Portsmouth. It will be remembered that Bush fought Harry Watson of Billerica last Friday night just over the New Hampshire line. He has since been in Boston, but re- turned here to onight and was arrested. Other parties, including the referee and seconds, for whom the sheriff has warrants as partici- pants, unoeremoniously skipped town. Wat son has not yet been arrested. Bush will be given hearing tomorrow morning and will doubtless refuse to go to New Hampshire without a requisition. He has not yet ob- tained bail.
