triple tragedy occurred three miles
east of this city last night, resulting
in the death of Edward Eckinger his

too slow or else too painful, for the
woman put third charge in the gun
and sent it through her heart.

LONDON, Aug. 9-Parliament was
prorogued this afternoon at 2 o'clock
by royal commission. The House of
Lords met and summoned the Com
mons to the bar, and the proceedings
terminated with the reading of the
Queens speech.
The Queens speech contained the fol-
lowing statements:
MY Lords and Gentlemen: Relations
with the other Powers continue friend
ly. The conference summoned by the
Emperor of Russia to consider meas
ures for promoting the maintenance of
peace has completed it's deliberations.
Although the result of it's deliberations
did not fully correspond with the lofty
aims which it was summoned to ac
complish, it has met with consider
able measure of success. The institu-
ton of a permanent tribunal of arbi-
tration cannot fail to diminish the fire.
quency of war, while the extension of
the Geneva convention will mitigate its
horrors"
After a reference to the conclusion of
the Anglo-French convention on the
subject of the Nile Valley, and the
Anglo-Russian convention in regard to
railway enterprises in China, the
speech continued: I'VE have received a
petition from a considerable number of
my subjects residing in the South
African republic, praying my assistance
to obtain a removal of 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 repub-
lie was founded, and the unrest caused
thereby is a constant source of danger
to the peace and prosperity of my do
in South Africa. Negotiations
on these subjects with the Cover ..ment
of the South African republic have been
entered into and are still proceeding"
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 entertained
for the prospects Of the harvest in
Western and Central India. owing to
rainfall, though the officials
are taking timely precautions to meet
any scarcity.
The speech then reads: ct regret to
add that the plague, though still con-
fined to the total of 1919 affected during
the winter, shows no sign of abate-
menu"
The speech thanks the Commons for
the liberality with which they have
provided for the naval and military de-
Tense of the Empire, and concludes with
references to the benefits which may be
expected from the domestic legislation

TRANsvAAL TROUBLE.
Secretary Chamberlain's Statement
in House Of Commons.

LONDON, Aug. S.-ReplylnS TO Vaf1-
Gus questions in the House of Commons
to-day, Joseph Chamberlain, the Secre-
tary of State for the Colonies, said no
official confirmation had been received
of the report that the Transvaal had de-
clined to agree to joint inquiry into
the effect which the franchise reforms
will have on the Uitlanders. Several
regiments, he added, were about to be
dispatched to South Africa for the de-
Tense of Natal, in response to the re-
quest of the Natal Government, and
preparation was being made for all
contingencies
Later, replying to T. p. OConnor,
Irish-Nationalist member for the Scot
land division of Liverpool, Mr.. Cham
berlain deprecated resumption of the
debate on the Transvaal situation,
which, he pointed out, while serious,
still remained doubtful.
The Colonial Secretary added that he
sincerely hoped that the report saying
the inquiry proposal had been rejected
was untrue. While he regretted the
necessity of answering Mr.. O'Connor, it
would be fatal mistake to allow the
latter's views that a war was entirely
needless, and that the Government
ought to express willingness to wait,
may be twenty-five years, for a re-
dressal of the grievances of which they
complained, to be considered.
He added: "The representative opin-
ions of even the small minority in the
House of Commons, or anything but
the most insignificant minority in the
United Kingdom, on the Governments
policy, have been clearly expressed. We
recognize the grievances of the Uit-
lander and have said that their griev-
anceS are not merely themselves Seri-
Gus cause for interposition, but are a
source of danger to the whole of South
Africa. We say our predominance is
menaced by the action of the Trans
vaal in refusing to redress the griev-
ances or give considerations to requests
hitherto put in the most moderate lam
guage of a Suzrain power. We say that
this state of things cannot be tolerated.
We have put our hands to the pillow,
and won't draw back. With that state
ment l propose to rest content"
The additional troops ordered to be
in readiness for transportation to South
Africa include a battalion of the Gren-
adler Guards and three batteries of
artillery.
While the members of Parliament and
officials present in the House of Com
mons at the propagation of Parliament
to-day expressed hope of peaceful Set
Element of Transvaal difficulties, it was
evident that apprehension was preva-
lent that an autumn session might be
necessary to vote war supplies.

FRENCH BOAT FIRED UPON.
Was Fishing Within the Limits of
British Waters.

FOLKESTON (Eng.), Aug 9-The
British torpedo boat Leda this morn
ing found French fishing boat, the
Etoille de Mer. belonging to Boulogne-
Sur Mer, fishing within the three-mile
limit. The fisherman attempted to es-
cape, and did not stop when a blank
shot was fired The Leda then fired
a shot. which disabled the Etoille de
Mer and killed her helmsman.
The fishing boat was afterward lowed
to this port with the body of her helms
man on deck. The arrival of the
Etoille de Mer caused much excitement
1t is hoped the regrettable incident will
draw attention to the serious inroads
made by foreign fishermen in British
waters.
The Admiralty authorities express eX-
IRENE surprise at the fact that the fish
ing boat disregarded the Ledas signal
to heave to, and, in the absence of the
official report, they assume that the
commander of the Leda only resorted
to drastic measures when other means
were Intellectual.
The Captain of the Etoille de Mer has
been arrested.

THIRTY-FIFTH REGIMENT.
Recruits Not En1isting as Rapidly
as Expected.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-General
Shafter has forwarded to Adjutant
General Corbin dispatch he received
yesterday from Lieutenant Colonel
Plummer, who is organizing the Thirty
fifth Infantry at Vancouver Barracks,
Wash The dispatch is in reply to one
sent from the department suggesting
that slow progress was being made in
recruiting that regiment, and that eff
forts should be put forth to hurry
along. Colonel Plummer says:
Every possible effort is being made
to recruit this regiment. Recruits are
coming much faster since regimental
recruiting offices have been opened.
There are now 253 men here Wan
couver). The material is exceptionally
good. Southern California and other
portions Of the district have not been
covered. 1t is believed there is ample
material in the district to fill the regi-
ment with the same class of men as
those already secured. About 500 men
of the Second Oregon volunteers will
arrive in Portland within a few days,
and it is believed that many of these
will enlist in this regiment In view
of these facts, it is earnestly recon-
mended that recruiting officers in the
East 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 regiments
as far as possible from the district al
lotted to it,
In forwarding this to the War De-
partment General Shafter says: I'm
my opinion recruiting will be more
rapid as soon as the Oregon Regiment
gets back, and as officers of the regi
ment 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
