DOUBLE COLORADO TRAGEDY.
GOldie McCOnkey Dead and Her Lover Fatally Wounded on the
 Street i'm Denver,

Denver, Col, Aug. 1O.--A doubh tragedy, that seems to have been due to lovers quarrel, occurred in the early hours near River Front park. At 1:30 a. m., people living in the neigh. borhood of Thirty-second and Clear Creek avenues heard faint calls for help. Investigation diclosed George Bond in the street with bullet wound in his breast and weak from the loss of blood. Later the dead body of Goldie McConkey was found, sev. eral blocks distant, with two bullet wounds in her breast Bond denies having killed his sweetheart, and says that some one unknown to him shot them both.
 Appearances indicate that the wounds were not inflicted by per son standing at any distance, for the clothing of Miss McConkey was burned with the lire of the revolver and the shirt of Bonds breast was scorched.

 Work i'm Cleyel"nd.

Cleveland, O., Aug. 10.-A Big Con solidated street car was wrecked at 6 a. m. on the Wade Park Avenue line, near Cactus drive, lonely spot ad- joining Wade park.
 The car was east-bound, and the first intimation was when it suddenly rose from the track and deafening report was heard Residents within a radius of mile and half were awak- ened by the roar. and sprang from their beds to seek the cause. The car was blown from the track and badly demolished. The frightenened motor man was hurled from the vestibule, and the conductor from the platform. They were uninjured. The one pas senger also escaped unhurt. The bot tom and forward part of the car were completely wrecked by the explosion, the forward trucks being blown to atoms. Every pane of glass in the windows and doors was shattered.
 The explosive used evidently was nitro-glycerine. There is no clew as to the identity of the miscreants who committed the outrage.

THIRTY-FIFTH FILLS SLOWLY.
Expectation that Some of the Oregon
 Men, Just Mustered Out. VIII Join the Command.

Washington, Aug. 10.-Gen. Shafter has forwarded to Adjt.-Gen. Corbin q dispatch he received, Tuesday, from Lieut.-Col. Hummer, who is organiz- ing the Thirty-fifth infantry at van couver barracks The dispatch is in reply to one sent from the department suggesting that slow progress was be- ing made in recruiting that regiment, and that efforts should be put forth to hurry it along. Col Hummer says:
 Every possible effort is being made to recruit this regiment. Recruits are coming much faster since iegimental recruiting officers have been out. There are now 253 men here Vancouver. ] The material is exceptionally good. Southern California and other portions of the district have not been covered It is believed there is ample material in the district to fill the regiment with the same class of men as those al- ready secured. About 800 men of tho Second Oregon volunteers will arrive in Portland within few days. and it is believed that many of these men will enlist in this regiment. In view of these facts It is earnestly recommend, ed that recruiting officers in the cast be cautioned to select only the most desirable men, as it is believed that the best interests of the service will be served by filling the regiment as far as possible from the district allotted 10 it."
 In forwarding this to The war de. partment, Gen. Shafter says:
 Tn my opinion recruiting wiu be more rapid as soon as the Oregon reoi, ment gets back and officers of the reg, iment are dispersed throughout the country. but there are very few sur plus men in California. I recommend that if recruits are available for the Thirty-fifth they be sent from the east"

PARLIAMENT PROROGUED..
The Sittings of the British Parlia- ment Brought to a Close by
 Royal Commission.
SYNOPSIS OF HER MAJtsTY's SPEECH.
ReIations With Other Powcr~ Com ttnue FriendIy--Refcrenc so the Peace Conference. the Nile valley and Anglo-Russian Conventions, the south African Trouble, Etc.

London. Aug. 10.-Parliament was prorogued at p. m. by royal com mission. The house of lords met and summoned the commons to the bar, and the proceedings terminated with the reading of the queens speech.
 The speech contained the following statements:
 Synopsis of the Queens Speech.
 My Lords and Gentlemen-My rela- tions with the other powers continue friendly.
 "The conference summoned by the emperor of Russia to consider meas ures for promoting the maintenance of peace has completed it's sittings.. Although the result of its delibera- tions did not frly correspond with the lofty aims which it was summoned to accomplish, it has met with a con siderable measure of success. The in- stitution of a permanent tribunal of arbitration can not fail to diminish the frequency of war, while the ex- tension of the Geneva convention will mitigate it's horrors"
 south African Affairs.
 After a reference to the conclusion of the Anglo French convention on the subject of the Nile valley and the An glo-Russian convention in regard to the railway enterprises in China, the speech continued:
 We have received petition from n considerable number of my subjects residing in the South African republic praying my assistance to obtain re- moval of grievances and disabilities of which they complain. The position of my subjects in the South African Re public is inconsistent with the promise Of equal treatment whereon my grant of internal independence to that re- public was founded, and the unrest caused thereby is a constant source of danger to the peace and prosperity of my dominions in South Africa. Nego- tiations on this subject with the gov ernment of the South African Republic have been entered into and are still proceeding.
 East Indian Affairs.
 Another paragraph deals with the satisfactory reports of the recovery of the agriculture and trade of India from the depression caused by the famine, but, it adds. fears are now en- tertained for the prospects of the harvest in western and central India, owing to the insufficient rainfall, though the officials are taking timely precautions to meet any scarcity.
 The Plague in the East.
 The speech then reads:
 "l regret to add that the plague. though still confined to the total of 1a9 areas affected during the winter, shows no signs of abatement"
 The speech thanks the commons for the liberality with which they have provided for the naval and military defense of the empire, and concludes with references to the benefits which may be expected from the domestic legislation passed.

EXAMINING TIE DDSS|ER.
The Secret Sessions of the Dreyfus Court-Martial Devoted to
 the D0ssier.
DatYFUS ASSISTS IN IRAHsLATIonS.
Military Precautions Stricter than Ever,Owing to m Attempted Dem Onstration Against the Prisoner While Crossing the Avenue De Le Care Tuesday.

Rennes. France, Aug. 10.-The secret session of the Dreyfus court-martial lasted from 6:30 a. m. until 11:45 a. m.
 Gen. Chnnoine Nearly Through.
 Gen. Chanoine nearly completed his part of the explanation of the dossier. He will be heard Thursday for about a couple of hours. and then M. Paleo- logue, of the foreign office, will take up the task, which, it is understood, will be completed Friday next. A pub- lie session, therefore, will take place Saturday morning. The dossier con- sists of about 400 documents, of which 50 were disposed of Tuesday.
 Dreyfus Assists the Court.
 Several of the documents are writ ten in German.
 During the proceedings a German dictionary was sent for, and it was learned from a sure source that when certain words and expressions could not be exactly understood, even with the aid of the dictionary, Dreyfus, who is a perfect German scholar, volun- teered translation, and was allowed to give his explanations, which were of valuable assistance to the members of the court.
 Strictcr Military Precautions.
 The precautionary police measures were much more stringent than on Tuesday. Strong attachments of in- fantry, instead of gendarmes, cor doned the streets leading to the Lycee. Gendarmes alone performed this duty Tuesday, and the public, who were much less numerous, barely muster ing 300 persons, were pressed still far ther back. Persons standing inside the entrance halls of houses within view of the door of the Lycee were even compelled, by gendarmes, to re- treat into the interior of the houses, and the front doors were closed. Ab- solutely nobody but police and sol- diers were thus within one hundred yards of Dreyfus when he crossed the avenue de la Care.
 By Way of Explanation.
 The police authorities explain the rigor of these measures on the ground that on Tuesday a few cries against the prisoners were raised while he was crossing the avenue. Not dis cordant note was heard anywhere to- day.
