OUR LONDON LETTER." o [Irroin Our Special Correspondent.3 It is all over. One of the shortest Parlia- ments of recent times has run its and its members are dispersed over the kingdom doing all they can to perruade the Sectors to send them back again to West- minster. On Mouday afternoon the King signed and sealed his Proclamation, dis- charging "the Lords Spiritual and Tem- poral, and the Knights, Citizens and Bur- ger.«js, aud the Commissioners for Shire and Burghs, of the House ef Commons," and ordering the issue of writs for calling a new Parliament. The writs were practically ready for issue beforehand, only waiting for the signing of the Proclamation before being issued. Those for the counties and boroughs are sent out by the Post Office, and each has to be delivered by the post- master to the return!].j officer in person, and a receipt obtained for it. There are eighty-eight writs for London, and these ¡ were delivered by hand, a messenger in a taxicab going from one returning officer to another, a task which took him five hours and a-half. j Perhaps the most remarkable Dissolution j speech in our history was that made by Oliver Cromwell when he s-iit the Rump j Parliament about its business. Oliver had thirty musketeers with him, and did not mean to stand any nonsense. He began in this wise: "It is high time for me to put an end to your sitting in this place, which ye' have dishonoured by your contempt of all virtue, and defiled by your practice of every vice. Ye are a, factious crew, and enemies to all good government. Ye are a pack of mercenary wretches, and would, like Esau, sell your country for a mess of potbge; and, like Judas, betray your God for a few pieces of money. Is there a single virtue now remaining among you? Is there one vu e which you do not possess? You have no more religion than my horse. Gold is your God. Which of you has not bartered away your conscience for bribes? Is there a man among you that hath the least care for the good of the commonwealth?" And much more in the same strain. Then he said: "I command you, therefore, upon the peril of your lives, to depart immediately out. of this place. Go, get you out; make haste! ye venal slaves, begone!" They went, and one of Cromwell's attendants took away "that bauble." Almost on the last day of the 1910 Parlia- ment the House was counted out. Most of the members, knowing that very little but formal business remained to be done, were already amongst their constituents, and only a few were left at Westminster. The count was taken on the initiative of Sir John Rees, who earlier in the week had for- saken the Government side for the Opposi- tion benches. He drew the Speaker's atten- tion to the scanty attendance, and the count had then to be made. Although the j Whips hurried frantically through the lob- bies and the precincts of the House they failed to make a House of more than thirty- six members, and the sitting had therefore to be abandoned, forty being required for a quorum. The House was once counted out as the result of references in the speech of a member who was far from intending any sueh thing. He was addressing an audience consisting chiefly of empty benches, on a subject which he at least considered impor- tant. So he became sarcastic, and spoke of the packed benches and the overwhelm- ing number of members who were evidently intensely interested in what he said. To ti surprise the Speaker rose, remarking that his attention had been called to the number present, and ordered a count. The orator had to deliver the remainder of his speech on another day. ¡ One of the curiosities of the present elec- tion is that in no less than three const-ituen- ciea both candidates have the same surmvuio. In Chelsea the late member, Mr. S. J. G. I Hoare, Unionist, is opposed by Mr. 1-1. E. Hoare, Liberal; in North-West Lanark, Mr. t A. S. Pringle, Unionist, has to fight Mr. W. M. R. Pringle, Liberal; and on Tvne- I eide there are Mr. H. M. Robertson, Unionist, and Mr. J. M. Robertson, Liberal. \This letter does not take sides in politics, as a rule, but in such a case as this I may safely advise the electors in these three divisions to vote for Hoare, Pringle, and Robertson. » Mr. Asquith's announcement that the Government, if still in power, will give facilities in next Parliament for a Sill giving votes for women, was not received with marked cordiality by those ladies who compose the militant section of the Suffra- gist party. Next Parliament is not good enough for them; nothing less than next Session will eatistfy them. To show their indignation at the Premier's announcement, they went forth to break windows and to alap the faces of policemen. They performed heroic deeds. They chafed Mr. As,uith into a motor-car, and broke the window of that, and a few of them meeting Mr. Birrell in the Mall, gave him a little attention. The Irish Secretary, in attempting to escape, twisted his knee, and had to remain indoors for some days. Various other things they did, and quite a large number of ladies were taken into custody. It will, perhaps, dawn 9R them one of these days that the cause of women's suffrage is not advanced by exhibi- tions of this sort. It means advertisement, certainly, but there are good and bad adver- tisement. It would appear from one little incident that in one respect the Suffragists han not advanced beyond the quiet, femi- nine, home-keeping women. They threw six- teen stones at Sir Edward Grey's window*. only one took effect. .M=ie-lovers will be interested in the an- nouncement tkat the Censor has removed tko ban from Richard Strain's opera "Sal:oInP." and that an opportunity will Ite provided of hearing it before long ftt Covent Garden. It will not be produced for a few weeks, probably, a.s the political drama holds the stage just now. The Censor has hitherto frowned upon Strauss's opera because$he story is a Biblical one, but, having permitted performances of "Samson and Delilah" and the "Queen of Sheba," there seemed to be no good reason why he should not allow" Salome" to be given also. The official, however, has insisted upon cer- tain modifications being made in the action of the story. It is to be hoped that it will not he too much bowdlerized. However, it is the music that is of chief importance in a matter of this kind, and there is no cen- sorship of music. A. E. M

A TRAGEDY OF FOVERTY. At an inquest held at Poplar on Satur- day, the jury found that John Read, a pack- ing-case maker, aged forty-one, who had been for some months unable to work, died from exhaustion due to chronic consumption accelerated by want of the necessaries of life. Dr. M. C. Corner, of Mile End-road, said he found the man lying dead on an old straw mattress laid on the floor. The room had no bedding or furniture.. He asked the wife where she slept. She pointed to a mat alongside the mattress. 1\ ighteen months ago, t.lie witness knew, the was in good circumstances. Dr. James Godding, HI¡ deputy coroner, said it was a very sad This r< yect- able man had through illness gradually gone down the hill. He had kept lÙ troubles away from the world.

"HE HAS KILLED, ME." At Clatidy, (Co. Derrv) on Saturday, Ber- nard Donaghy, of Kilgort, was committed for trial, charged with the murder of his sister Mary. The mother of Donaghy stated that she found her daughter in a ficM, screaming for help. With the assistance of the police she carried her home, where she died shortly afterwards. Bridget M'Menamin said that she heard screaming outside her house, and on opening the door found Mary Don&ghy and her brother Bernard outside. Bernard pushed his sister inside, and Mary exclaimed*. Ile has killed me." She also said Donaghy had kicked her in and out of bed along the path. Doctors, who had held a post-mortem, said that death was caused by shock, in- duced by direct violence.

£2,000 JEWEL RGSDERY.' Jewels worth over £ 2,000 have been stolen from the premises of Messrs. Payne and Co., Ltd., New Bond-street. The robbery was a- remarkable one. The shutten-d and strongly proeeeted window had been forced, and the trays and cases of jewellery it contained emptied of their valuables. The burglars left behind them what were described by the police a.,7, the most wonder- ful tools yet seen These included an elec- trically-driven jemmy, with which an un- successful attempt had been made on the great safe containing jewellery valued at £ 30,000.

CHARGE AGAINST UNDERGRADUATES. At Cambridge on Saturday Evelyn Walter Copland Perry, undergraduate, of Trinity College, and Cyril Reed Skinner, undcr- graduate, of St. John's College, were charged with stealing three surveying in- I struments, the property of Prof. T. McKenny s Hughes, some time during the present month. Defendants pleaded not guilty, and, through counsel, applied for a remand. No evidence was taken, and a remand was 1 granted for a week. <■

COLLAPSE OF THEATRE GALLERY. The collapse of part of a gallery in the Theatre Royal, Aylesbury, Bucks, caused great excitement on Satux-day night. It was, however, quickly allayed by the presence of mind of some of the actors, who were appearing in "The Trail of the Serpent." The hero, who at the time was a manacled prisoner in a den somewhere on the East End bank of the Thames, liberated himself and was across the footlights the instant after the first cry of alarm. After him went the villain, who a moment before had been arranging for the hero a terrible death. In five minutes order was restored. a speech from the villain reassuring the audi- ence. No one was injured. <0

WELSH COAL STRIKE. WEEK END DISTURBANCES. On Saturday further disturbances tooK place at Gilfach Goch, a party of eight C; oenters and joiners from Cardiff being mis" iaken for "blacklegs." As they were walk* I .ng along the railway to the colliery meA ind women appeared from all sides, and tho sarpentcrs were subjected to a hail of itonos. One of them was struck in the face ailit jut, another received a big lump of slag itf the pit ol the stomach. A serious charge made against the police is being investigated by the deputy elti-ef, jonstable. The complaint is made by Her'" bert Jones, a widower, of Gilfach Goch, Fvlio is gi-veu. ar-, excellent character. He states that as he was walking home from a mass meeting with five other men three* policemen passed them, one on horseback. "Suddenly the police turned round and charged us," said Jones. "My companion# scattered, but I was not so- active. lha officer on horseback rushed his horse against me and forced me across the road. I I am doing nothing, sir! I want to go home!' but lie rushed me across the roati against the rails, which is at the top of a bank at the roadside. I tried to get under the rails to escape the horse, but as I wnlt i ioing so the officer on horseback struck me a heavy blow on the top of the head with some heavy weapon. I fell unconscious, and rolled down the bank."

ATTACK ON MR. CHURCHILL. Mr. Winston Churchill had an unpleasant experience while returning to London on Saturday evening a.fter speaking at Brad- ford. He was passing through the train oJl his way to the restaurant ear when, OJ) opening the door of a third-class carriage, he was assaulted by a strongly-built man who had been occupying a seat facing the- > door. The assailant, it is stated, made a rush at tlie Home Secretary, and shouting. ston Churchill, take that, you cur!" tempted to strike him with a dcgwhip. Fortunately the blow was intercepted bv lh> tective-sergeant Sandercock, who was silling. Oil the opposite seat. With the Inspector Parkef (the two Seotlaud Yard officers are specially attached to the Home Secretary) the matt was overpowered, was kept in charge for the remainder of the journey. The man at !Jrst struggled violently, bitfc subsequently calmed down. The m: who is understood to have been one of the chief interrupter* at Mr. Churchill's Bradford meeting, was accom- panied by a woman, but the latter took wf active part in the proceedings. On arrival at King's Cross a further en- deavour to get at the Ilcnie Secretary waif made by three women, but the attempt irat once more frustrated by the detec-iiye officers in attenduinv. The man was charged with assault at Bow- itreet on Monday. Franklin, who is 21, is of independent means, and lives at PeiabridgO 3-ardens, Notting Mill. He is stated to he3 nephew of Mr. Herbert Samuel, the Postmjwler- -reneral. Detective-Sergeant who was at- tached to the Home iaid Franklia was ejected from the meeting at Bradford from which Mr. Churchill returning. Franklin was sitting with a woman suffragette in a third-class compart; Wlie 11 Mr. Churchill 1 passed through the corridor, Franklin jumped ap and drew a dog-whip from Ins pocket, and shouted: "Winston Churchill, take that. you dirty cur!" Witness forced him back on to the seat, and Inspector Parker took the whip from him. Franklin admitted fhat he called Mr. Chur- rfiill a cur, but said he did not use the word •dirty." He was remanded for a week with- out bail. Permission was given for his mother to visit him.

I FORM IV. APPEAL ALLOWED. The Form IV. lawsuit was carried a further stage on Monday in the Court of Appeal (consisting of the Master of the Rolls and Lords Justices Moulton and Karwell). The action is brought by Sir. T. Dyson, of Weeton, Yorkshire, under the auspices of the West Riding Land and Property Owners' Association, against the Attorney- General, asking iuJ ft declaration thut a person who had b.»n served with aIloUc requiring him to tili up Form IV. was under no obligation to comply with the demand. The Master, in chambers, struck out the action as frivolous nad vexatious and as dis- closing no reasonable ground of action. On appeal Mr. Justice Lush, also in chamber#, upheld the order. On Monday the Court of Appeal was asked to set aside this judgment. Mr. Danek- werts, for Mr. Dyson, said the object of the action wae to have it declared that the r<> quirement in question, was not one which the owner was bound to comply with, and y that he was not liable to penalty if he did not comply. The Solicitor-General «aid if the proee- dure adopted was a legal procedure it would provide one of the greatest dangers imagin- I able. The Master of the Holla aid the Court was unanimously of, opinion that the appeal must be allowed. As, however, so many points of interest and difficulty had hej) raised, they would give their judgment iu few days.
