Queens Speech at the PrOrO-
cation of Parliament
is NOTICE TO DOM PAUL
Secretary Chamberlain Cor
roborates the UItimatum.

London. Aug. s.-Parliament was pro-
rogued at 2 o'clock this afternoon by
royal commission. The house of lords
met, summoned the commons to the bar
and the proceedings terminated with the
reading of the queens speech. The
queens speech contained the following
statements:
my Lords and Gentlemen: Ny rela-
lions with the other powers continue
friendly.
1.-THE conference summoned by the en-
peror OF Russia to consider measures for
promoting the maintenance Of peace has
completed its sittings. Although the re-
suits Of its deliberations did not fully
correspond with the lofty aims which 1t
was summoned to accomplish, It has met
with a considerable measure Of success.
The institution OF a permanent tribunal
of arbitration cannot fail to diminish the
frequency of war, while the extension Of
the Geneva convention will mitigate its
horrors
After a reference to the conclusion of
the Anglo-French convention of the sub
ject of the Nile Valley, and the Anglo
Russia convention in regard to railway
enterprises in China, the speech con-
tinued: I'VE have received a petition
from a considerable number of my sub
jects residing in the South African Re-
public praying my assistance to obtain
a removal of grievances and disabilities
Of which they complain. The position of
my subjects in the South African Repub-
lie is inconsistent with the promise of
equal treatment wherein my grant of in
ternal independence to that republic was
founded, and the unrest caused thereby
is a constant source of danger to the
peace and prosperity - my dominions in
South Africa. Negotiations on this sub
ject with the government Of the South
African Republic have been entered into
and are still proceeding"
Another paragraph deals with the sat
isfactory report 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 the insufficient
rainfall. though the officials are taking
timely precautions to meet any scarcity.
The speech then reads: az regret to add
that the plague. though still confined to
the total of lse areas affected during the
winter. shows no signs of Abatement"
The speech thanks the commons for the
lfberality with which they haze 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.

TOUSLEY'S THIRD MARRIAGE
He Informs His Third Wife Is Not
Good I'm Law.

FL Reno, o. T., Aug. 81. c. Tousley,
ex-speaker Of the house of representa-
lives Of the territorial assembly OF 1897,
has notified his wife that the marriage
relations existing between them will have
10 cease. The announcement has caused
considerable of a sensation among their
friends. Mr.. Tousley, 1t seems, has been
married three times. His first wife died,
and he secured a divorce from his Sec
ond wife on the grounds Of desertlon.
Now, 1t appears, he tells his third wife.
that the divorce secured from his sec
ond wife is not legal. He claims TO have
found a point Of law that still leaves
him the husband OF the second wife, who
is now In Colorado. The case will be
one Of the most interesting in the terri
tory. as It will bring up and settle for
ever the contention about the right Of
probate judges to grant divorces.

JOSEPH BACKS 1T UP
Emphasizing the Alleged Suzerainty
Of Great Britalo.o ~.ti -..ea

London, Aug. s.-Replyins to various
questions In the house Of commons to-
day, Mr.. 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 q ONT inquiry into the
effect which the franchise reforms will
have upon outlanders. Several regiments,
he added, were about to be despatched
to South Africa for the defense Of Ma
tai, in response to the request Of the
Natal government, and preparation was
being made for all contingencies. Later,
replying to Mr.. T. p. OConnor, Irish
Nationalist, member for the Scotland di-
vision of Liverpool, Mr.. Chamberlain
deprecated resumption of the debate
on the Transvaal situation, which, he
pointed out. while serious, still remains
doubtful. The colonial secretary added
that he sincerely hoped that the report
saying the inquiry proposal had been re-
jected was untrue. While he rekretted
the necessity Of answering Mr.. O'Connor,
II would be fatal mistake to allow the
latter's views, that a ar was entirely
needless and that the government ought
to express willingness to wait, maybe %
years, for a redressal of the grievances
Of which they complained, to be consid-
cred. He added: ''The representative
opinions of even the small minority in the
house of commons, or anything but the
most insignificant minority in the Unit
ed ingdom. on the governments policy
have been clearly expressed. We recog-
nize the grievances Of the Outlanders and
have said that these grievances are not
merely themselves a serious cause for
interposition, but are a source OF danger
to the whole Of South Africa We say
our predominance is menaced by the ac-
ton OF the Transvaai in refusing to re-
dress the grievances or give considera-
tlon to requests hitherto put In the most
moderate lankuage of a suZerain power.
We say that this state of things can not
he tolerated. We have put our hands
to the pillow and won't turn back. With
that statement propose to rest con-
tent"
While the members Of parliament and
officials present IN the house OF commons
at the propagation OF parliament today
expressed hope OF a peaceful settlement
Of the Transvaal difficulties. Il was evil
dent that uneasy apprehension was prev
alent that an autumn session might be
necessary TO vote war supplies. The ad-
ditional troops ordered to be in readiness

was arraigned on the charge of insanity.
The complaint was made by her father
.in-law. R L. Stowe. an old and decrepit
man, who has been living with his
daughter-in-law and her husband. The
girl claims that her husband mistreated
her and that she left him. She claims
that her husband and HIS father stole q

ened to tell on them they beat her. The
girl is still younk and does not look

through great deal of trouble. perhaps
enough to make most any one crazy. Her
husbands name is Henry Stowe, and he
appears much older than she Is.
