The Queens Speech Touches on the Turk, the
AbyssInian, and the British Coionist.
Special Gable Despatch TO THE Sun.
LONDON, Aug. 6.-Parliament was prorosued
to-day. Concerning the important occurrences
during the session the Queens speech OF pro.
~rogation said:
natory to the treaty of Paris was earnestly ex-
erted early in the year to dissuade the King of
Greece from war. upon which he unhappily de-.
sired to enter. Though they failed in this en-
deavor, they were able to bring about an early
suspension of hostilities between the bellig-
ercnts and open negotiations for peace. These
proceedings have been protracted and n formal
treaty has not yet been signed, but there is good
ground for believing that all OF the more i'm
portant matters in controversy have been adj
justed, and that in return for an adequate In.
demnity the territory conquered by Turkey will,
with a slight modification OF the frontier, be re-
stored to Greece"
Another paragraph OF the speech announces
tho conclusion Of "A treaty OF III and
friendship with Abyssinia.

The speech proceeds to express sympathy with
the people Of India. who have been stricken with
famine and plague; bestows high praise upon
the Indian officials, and concludes with a formal
Parliament.

Chairman Of the recent Populist convention and
Chairman of the Of that party TO con.
fer with the Democratic State Convention at
Roanoke on Aug. IL. wrote a letter to-day which
will be accepted as an authoritative statement
Of the Populist attitude in this State.
Should the Democrats decline to accept Capt.
Cooke, the Popnlist nominee for Lieutenant.
Governor. Gen. Field says the special committee
referred to will meet and determine tho position
and action of the Peoples party as a party in
tho ensuing canvass. His party, he says. is anx-
ious to hold in solid column the bimetallist vote
given to Mr.: Bryan last fall, so that it may be
thrown with its Accommodations to the free-coin-
aye candidate for the Presidency in 1900. He
says:
The Democratic party. the American Silver
party. and the Peoples party will each preserve
its INDEPENDENT organization; II either party
assumes to dominate the Others, failure and
disaster, not triumph and victory. will BIO
the result. The Democratic last fall
denied the Peoples party representation on tho
electoral ticker, and yet the party maintained
its loyalty to Bryan. II the Democratic Con.
ycntion now rejects, the offer of my party. no
further effort will be made on our part for
organized cooperation"
