The Fearful Accident Whereby a soubrette

threw the match, as she thought, into a
cuspidor, but it fell on her night dress

ON The EVE OF DISSOLUTION
The Tenor of the Information in Regard to
the British Parliament.

the British Parliament.
LONDON. June 1.-The last session o.
the present parliament virtually closed
yesterday. The desire of a section
Of the cabinet, strongly support
ed by Mr.. Chamberlain and the
unionist party, to pass the Irish local
government bill so that they would
be able to go before the con.
stituencies with their Irish pledges
redeemed, has failed to prevail
against electoral exigencies. The
radicals have decided not to oppose the
passing of the estimates, which will be
voted in the desultory fashion in which
millions are usually voted at the fag
end of a session.
The queen will curtail her stay at
Balmoral and will return to Windsor
on June %, in order to avoid the neces.
sity of the ministers travelling to Scot.
land to tender their designations. The
formalities of the dissolution of parlia.
ment are certain to occur before June
% and the electoral contest has already
commenced.
