THE QUEENS SPEECH.
Advises Parliament to Go
Home After Organizing.
Then Come Together at the Usual
Season and LeRisIate-A Motion
Declaring Want Of Confidence In
the Government Debated in the
Commons.

LoHDoy, August 10-The house of COM
mons, after organizing, proceeded to the
house of lords and heard the queens speech
read.
The speech informed the members that
previous to the dissolution of the last parlis-
ment the business of the session was COM
paeted, therefore it was not necessary for
parliament now to continue in session at an
unusual period of the year for the transac-
ton of financial or Legislative business. Her
majesty expressed the hope that when par
lament should meet again at the customary
season it would continue to advance in part
the usual and beneficial leglslation which
has been 80 judiciously followed at the pro-
vious sessions
After the commons a2sin heard the speech
read in their own hall, q motion was promptly
made declaring want of confidence in tho
government and it was debated all night, but
q division was not reached.

By a Small Majority.

by q SIIdit MdJOVItys
LONDON, August 13.-After pro.racted de-
bate division was at last reached in the
house of commons upon the motion declar-
ing want of confidence in the government,
and the opposition carried it; $50 against
315.
For the first time in the history O: British
parliament did the members muster their
full strength within ten. AS the night wore
on the members got restless and interrupted
the speakers with cries of ''D1vide! divide 20
The voting, however, was delayed, as some
members would not arrive until near mid
night. At midnight every possible vote was
within the call of whips and the voting COM
menced.
The opposition includes all clans and divi-
sions and can scarcely be held together upon
any subsequent vote. Home rule for Ireland
was the issue in the election of this pariia-
ment; yet there are several sides to this
question of home rule, between whom there
is much bitter contest
The supporters of the Salisbury govern
ment endeavored to force Nh. Gladstone to
indicate his policy should he come into pow
er; and especially to declare the features of
troduce. This has always been the practice
when opposition to the government desire
a vote of want of confidence that its leader
should map out his policy, and there is but
one precedent in opposition to this course.
which occurred tifty-one years ago.
Had Gladstone's home rule bill been pre-
sented, it would have driven from his sup
port some one of the Irish factions, either
being strong enough to defeat him IN so
close vote; for the Irish are SO bitterly
divided in what they demand in home rule,
that a pronounced plan must have met the
opposition of some of them.
The vote was hal, however, with no plat
form of home rule policy mapped out, there

Amusement In the War Office.

Amusement In the War Office.
Acting secretary of war, General Grant,
was somewhat amused at the sensational
headlines in an eastern paper, which repre-
ssnted Governor Humphrey in a warlike at
titude over the question of the army remov.
ing cattle from the Cherokee strip into Kan
sas. The general said that the agricultural
department, having decided long ago that
the country south of Kansas belongs to the
permanently infected district, this alone was
sufficient to guarantee that the cattle In the
strip would not be forced into Kansas. In
addition to this the army would not permit
the cattlemen, who have been violating the
law, to move their cattle into Kansas. There
was just one place they could not be per.
mitted to move their cattle, and that wa,
north into Kansas. In his judgment there
need be no fears on this question on the par,
of any interested.

Oh! What Lots of Fun.

Oh! What Lots OF Fun.
The jam was awful at all public places in
Denver. Over 10000 tickets were sold to
the Loop and other near by resorts, and the
jam at the union depot was awful. Nearly
one hundred cars were filled as fast a they
could be run into the depot, and the sale Of
tickets was stopped; but there were hun
dreds who could not get inside the gates, and
scene of wild confusion ensued. The
guards tried in vain to keep the crowd back.
They managed to close the gates, but the
people swarmed over the twelve foot railing.
Women were lifted bodily and children
were lifted to the top and dropped into wait
ing arms.
This continued till morning. People who
purchased tickets for Pixies Peak Thursday
night and Friday, will probably be unable
to get there ON Sundays train, 30 great is
the rush.

Crop reports are not quite up to expecsa-
tions, and arc construed a indicating q def

any possible deficiency in wheat and cotton
will b moro than met BY the surplus stock.
But prices arc unchanged. The great indus

169. Isl to July I, but the stocks unsold, new
ertheless, increased 16, 200 tons during July,
and on August exceeded million tona
The southern pig iron is pressed for sale
and some quotations are lower than ever.
But the resumption of manufacture BY the
Western Iron works. which settled their con-
troversies with the men, will make a great
change in the situation, at once increasing
the output of pig iron, but probably demand
still more. Manufactured iron and steel
have been in active demand, nearly all the
works in operation being crowded with Or
ders. But steel rails are dull as ever, while
only 70,cOo tons have boon sold for tho year
this far. Orders ON hand will hardly carry

There is no market worth mentioning for

activity prevails. Manufactures arc buying

ture OF the week has been the fising Of bread
stufs, 2 cents on corn and e OF . cent on
oats, while wheat has declined e of q cent,
with sales of only 1905, 600 bushels. The
western receipts were 4,930, 900 bushels in
four days, and the Atlantic exports 2, 3O9, 600
bushels: Pork advanced IS cents per barrel
and coffee but cotton fell q, though The
exports arc larger than a year ago, as the
crop reports grow more favorable. It should
not be forgotten that if the exports of pro-
ducts, which for two weeks have been 1855
per cent lower at New York than last year,
should be restricted by the advances in prices
the overflow of gold would be likely to con-
tinue and before long to affect the specula-

Imports continue extraordinarily large at
New York. For five weeks they have been
30 per cent. greater than last year.
