Yet they mourn not as those who

APPAM CASE DECIDED.
Court DismisseS Suit to Recover Pro.
cccds Of Sale of Goods.

New York, June 19.--On the ground
that submission to capture by a ship
constitutes abandonment of the cargo
entrusted to it, the federal court here
today dismissed the suit of the own
crs of the British steamship Appam
to recover its freight money, the pro-
ceeds of the sale Of her perisha bic
cargo.
The Appam was captured January,
1916, off the Canary Islands while
bound from British West Africa for
England, by the German raider
Moowe. Her prize crew subsequently,
brought her into Hampton Road, Va,
where she was returned to the British
owners by the supreme court, which
held that the title of the captors was
forfeited by breach Of American
neutrality in overstaying the time al
lowed n bellgercnt in port of this
country as neutral.

BRITISH WOMAN SUFFRAGE.
BRITISH HOUSE OF COMMONS
PASSES BILL.
Majority So Great as Even to Aston
ish Warmcst and Most Optimistic
Advocates of the Cause.

London, June 19.-Thc house of
commons tonight by large majority
passed the final reading of the clause
with the question of women suffrage.
1t is expected that a proposal now
will be made that the franchise be
conferred on women on the same
basis as men.
The majority by which the house
committee reafIrmed it's adhesion to
the principle of woman suffrage as
tonished the warmcst supporters Of
the measure.
The members evidently felt that the
subject long ago had been exhausted
and that nothing further could be
said than had been uttered in the de-
bates on the woman suffrage bill,
which already had passed the house
at various dates .on second reading.
The government left the question to
the unfettered judgment Of the house.
The front benches on both sides lack
ed most Of their leading figures and
the air Of foregone conclusion hung
over the whole of the discussion The
opponents OF the measure, among
other arguments, made the hest they
could Of the reports received here Of
the attitude of Miss Jeanette Rankin,
the only woman representative in the
American congress, on the question o
the entry Of the United States int
the war;
Sir Frederick G. Bandbury (Union
ist for instance, described Miss Ran
kin as having been hystericaI and un-
able to vote, but this and other pleas
against the ability Of woman to ex-
ercise the franchise fell on deaf ears
and when the division was called the
members trooped into the house with
the aim of putting an end once for
all to a question which they had made
up their minds no longer was al
academic one by voting upon it as
live issue.
So assured were the supporters OF
the measure of the outcome of the
division that even the magnitude oi
the majority in its favor did not move
them to any unusual demonstration
when the figures were announced.
