I i TV m e extraordinary scenes out- side the main entrance to the London Pavilion in Picadilly Circus yc-vterday, j at the conclusion of a meeting of the Women's Social and Political Union. As briefly reported in our 6.30 edition, the disturbance was mainly due to the j surprise reappearance of Miss Annie Kenney and Mrs. Pankhurst, who were 1 both out on license under the "Cat and Mouse" Act, and who arrived at the Pavilion while the mooting was in pro- gress and delivered defiant speeches. Miss Kenney put up for auction her two "cat and licenses for the benefit of the Women's Social and Political Union fund. They reallsed L6 each. Mrs. Pankhurst Defiant.

De- tectives advanced to arrest her, but were forced back, sticks and umbrellas II' being wielded by the women and their men sympathisers. In the struggle Miss Kenney fell, and her clothing was ¡ tern and her hair puileci down. I Stabbed with Hat-pin. I Several detectives also fell, and one was stabbed through the hand by a hat- pin. One woman secured. the metal badge, froui an inspector's cap as a mo- niont'.v of the ailrny. Miss Kenny was eventually arrested, also a man and three worn, en charged with obstruction. J But M rs. Pankhurst had vanished. Last night a member of the Women's Social nud Political Union said: "She went straight back to her Westminster flat, and an hour after leaving the I Pavilion was in bed enjoying her tea.

I A Reuter message from Pretoria says that Mr. Poutsma, general secretary oi the RmuIw ay men's (Society, has sent a circular to the railway employes de- claring that the letter addressed by Mr. Sauer, Acting Minister or Rail- ways, to the railway men shows un- .mistakably that the present position is not understood by the Administration. The railwaymen, Mr. Poutsma says, have tried every means of constitu- tional redress, hut to-day wages are oil the decrease, and the service seethes with discontent. Mr. Poutsma warns tl,e-C-erii,iietit that unless tha case is now met in an entirely new spirit dis- loyalty will soon be rampant among the men. Illness of Mr. Sauer.

NEW CHINESE REVOLT. I P* 1 ,—— WILL YUAN SHI KAI BE ABLE TO I CRUSH IT ? (Reuter3s Foreign Special,) I LJeking, July I-I.-Tlie hostilities in Kiangsi, where th3 cashiered Gover- nor of the province, Li Lish Chun, and General Kwang Hsing, at the head of the rebellious Kiangsi troops, are en- deavouring to drive out Yuan Shi Kai's soldiers sent to enforce obedience to the Government. The simultaneous blowing up of a magazine at Kaifeng, and other attempts to embarrass the Government, are considered as indi- cating that the Young China Party is determined to force matters to an issue. Yuan Shi Kai is sending reinforce- ments to the Yangtse Valley, and he now has an opportunity of crushing the opposition, but it is not unlikely that he may show weakness at the crucial moment. I' I

A PATHETIC STORY. I '———— I" ———— SWISS COUPLE WHO WERE J DIVORCED BY DEATH. A pathetic story is related by the I Geneva correspondent of the "Daily Chronicle," who states that a Swiss couple were divorced by death at the I Tribunal of Chaux de Fands, Canton of Neuchatel, yesterday, the case coming to a dramatic end by the wife falling down dead at the feet of the husbana and the judge. I Mme. Studer was bringing an action for divorce against her husband, and ac- cording to tne usual procedure of the Swiss law, the couple were obliged to appear before the judge privately to ar- range a "reconciliation" if possible. Mme. Studer was telling her troubles to the judge when she suddenly swooned and fell dead, the cause being a weak heart and excessive emotion.

AN ELECTRICAL TIE. I I I A necktie which will help deaf people I to hear has been produced by an inge- nious inventor.

THE RACE FOR r!B? Na NM BS? ? ?BSS&n??!SL B?SB TENBY TRAWLER j OWNER'S COMPLAINT ACAINST SWANSEA REGATTA COMMIT f<E POSSIBLE LEGAL ACTION. (Special to the I In an interview wita Mr. Lonis King- dom,? owner of the Tenby trawler Hmmes, which came in first in the raco for the Prince of Wales Cup at the Swansea Regatta, and was subsequently disqualified by the Committee, said to our Tenlly representative: The notice of the Swansea Pegatta and the 'I stiptilatloji for the entries for the race f(,r trawlers circulated in Tenby gave no limit as to tonnage or measurements, but said the race was to be sailed by I bona-fide trawlers, ketch-rigged, and with aU fishing gear on beard. "My little ketch, the Hermes, was entered by Mr. John Power, of Pen- ally Abbey, near Tenby, a gentleman who takes a great interest in yacht and boat racing, and who has been in the babit for some time past of hiring the same *or pleasure purposes. I No Objection Raised. The entry of the Hermes was accepted by the Regatta Committee at Swansea, and when we arrived no ob- jection was raised on the score of tonnage, or any other point. The wind was light during the match, which favoured the Hermes, and she fairly and honestly won the race. That she had done so was announced in all the I newspapers at the time, and I think it a downright shame to- deprive her of the trophy, which both myself and her crew were so very proud to have won. I shall be very glad if the Swansea Daily JLcader will take the matter up on behalf of the Hermes and Mr. 'I Power, the hirer, in whose name it was entered for the race. We went all the way from Tenby to the Mumbles to-take part in a sporting race, and we all consider it very hard lines, especially when we had fairly and squarely earned the cup. I understand the reason for dis- qualifying us was that the ffermes was too small; she is said to be of smaller tonnage than the other boats entered, but this disqualification, it seems to me, ought to have been regarded as a sort of handicap, to compensate which my boat should have been given a few minutes start. Legal Action. I "With regard to the taking of any I legal action in the matter to secure I what 1 consider is ju-stly due to me, I am afraid that personally I cannot n- tertain such a course. I am a poor man, with not a five pound note to spare for law but that is not the case with Mr. John Power, who is a wealthy independent gentleman, and there is no telling what he may do in the matter- When the news of the disqualifica- tion of the HexTnes was received in Tenby on Saturday it aroused the bitterest indignation and disappoint- ment, and I need hardly say that I am myself very sore over it."

NOT IN ACCORD. I I ELECTRICITY WORKS DISPUTE NOT I YET FINALLY SETTLED. When the terms of settlement were arranged in counection with the recent strike at the Swansea Electrical Works, it was agreed that Mr. Prussman, the borough Electrical Engineer, and Mr. Merrells, representing the men, should; arrange a schema of classification which j woul d faci itate the application of the I principle of seniority. J The classification has been arranged, I but there is a difference between the Engineer and Mr. Merrells as to whether the scheme should be retrospective. Under the circumstances a further meeting of the Strike Committee will be held to-morrow to deal with the matter. The great objection the men have to I the acceptance of the proposal is that it involves the exclusion of the very man as a result of whose dismissal the strike took place, and whose return it was understood they say was to be one of the terms of settlement.

AVIATION DISASTER. I ————.  ?-.———— FATHER AND SON DIE TOGETHER AT 'I VERSAILLES. The aviation disaster at Versailles, briefly reported yesterday, is further described in the following telegram :— The charred bodies of two aviators were found under their aeroplane at Guyancourt, near heie, this morning. The victims were afterwards identi- fied as men named Percin, being father and son. They were making a trial flight in a new monoplane, and when the machine was at a height of 130 feet it suddenly overturned and fell to the ground, both men being instantly killed. A fire broke ont in the wreckage of tho aeroplane owing to the escape of pirit tromthe petrol tank. The bodies of the two aviators were badly charred. -Reuter.

| HORRIBLE WAR. | — i -■ SiH EDWARD GREY AND THE BALKAN STRUGCLE. i TURKEY'S INTENTIONS. I Although B ulgaria-tbreateled by Servi a, Greece, Montenegro, Rou- mania, and Turkey—has requested Russia's intervention, Servia and Greece have lrdt replied as yet to the I Tsar's proposal that hostilities should cease. Jt is understood that the Greek and S^ ervian Premiers are in confer- ence. Tne general uncertainty is in- creased by a rumour that Bulgaria has offered to treat directly with Servia. Turkey's Intentions. I The Turkish Embassy informs Reuter that Turkey has no intention whatever of entering upon a fresh campaign. \Vhat is being done is done merely for her own protection and for the occupation of the points in Otto- man territory along the Enos-Midia line evacuated by the Bulgarians. What reliance is to be placed on this statement, however, remains to be seen. Constantinople, Monday.—Rodostc has been occupied by the Ottoman troops. The retreating Bulgarian are burning all the villages on their iva,I-t,outer. i [Rodosto is the port on the Sea oi Marmora, and is within the Enos- Midia line.] Sir Edward Grey. I Speaking in the Houoo of Commons last night, Sir Edward Grey stated that the Great Powers would continue to strive for peace. "The best prospect I can put before the House," he said, "i. tbithat the war now proceeding in the Balkans is M) horrible and ex- haust.ing in its feature-s that it should not last long; the mere intensity of it should bring it to a conclusion. I see every prospect that the Great Powers will continue in touch, and that, as they have overcome complications hitherto, they will do so in the future." I Bulgarian Outrages. I King Ferdinand of Bulgaria has I issued an emphatic denial of the allega- tions of brutality made against his forces. At the same time, it will be remembered that the allegations (which were of a very detailed character) were made by many authoritative persons, each independently of the others.

MEXICAN PLOT. I CONSPIRACY TO BLOW UP THE I PRESIDENT. (Renter's Foreign Special.) j New York, July 14.—A telegram from l Mexico City:— "A plot to assassinate President Huerta, General Blanquet (Minister of War), and General Felix Dias has been frustrated through the arrest of a mem- ber of Congre.s.s and ten other persons, who are alleged to have intended to throw bombs when the officials were driving through the streets. Docu- ments are stated to have been found on the pris-oners identifying them as sup- porters of the rebel leader Zapata, and outlining the plot. Several of the prisoners have confessed."

EDUCATIONAL RELIEF. I CHIEF WHIP AND THE COVERNMENT'S I INTENTIONS. The Chief Government Whip (ilfr. Percy lllingwortli) announced last night chat the measure shortly to be intro- duced by the President of the Board of Education, although technically de- scribed as an Education Bill, is in re- ality only a one-clause measure designed to enable the Government to afford a limited amount of immediate relief to educational authorities. The Bill, when introduced next week, will form a peg upon which to hang a statement of the Government's policy in the development of a national system ofeduca-tion.

A BEAUTY SECRET. FAMOUS ACTRESS SAYS CORSETS I ARE A MISTAKE. The beautiful Anna Held, who is now I at the London Opera House, has re- vealed what is described as a new beauty socret-how to be slim and lis- som to a contemporary. Don't wear corsets," she says. "I don't. "I have my dresses made in Pari s especially for me, aind I wear no cor- sets with them. Instead of being en- cased *in corsets I have my dress stiff- ened about the waist with an extra lining ot some material, say of batiste and I find that is all that is necessary. "The corsetless gown is a great im- provement, I consider, and makes for a slender, supple figure. The new mode would, I think, particularly .suit Englishwomen, who are naturally tall and thin." The famous star last appeared in London two years ago, when she was on the point of retiring altogether from the stage. She has amassed a con- siderable fortune, but the fascination of the footlights lias called called back once more.

THE MAN AND HIS VOTE. I I I j A JUST MEASURE. HOUSE OF COMMONS AND THE. PLURAL VOTING BtLL. PREMIER'S SPEECH. I As reported in our 6.30 editions, Mr. Pretyman (C.) in the House- of Commons last night, moved that the Piural Voting Bill be read a third time that day three months. Ho POIntecl out that the Bill as originally introduced hardly covered one page, but now it covered two full pages a.nd oontained 60 lines, of which 12 only were included in the original Bill. He did not defend plural voting at, part of a gejierai reformed systenx, but felt very strongly that there should be special representation of the City of London and of the Universities. Although plural voting was an anomaly it was not the worst anomaly that existed. It might go I when the whole system was remodelled. The Inconsistent Opposition. I Mr. Montagu (Under-Secretary for India) said when the Bill was in Com- mittee Opposition members complained that the Government would not accept any amendments, and were determined to have no report stage. Now the hon. and gallant member complained theft. the Government had accepted so manyj amendments. It was hard enough for. ordinary voters to have to encounter the wealth and influence of plural voters, but it was worst still when they had to cope with plural votes. .Che fact that the electoral machine was weighted, not only by acquired and in- herited advantages, but also by a plurality of votes, R-as responsible for a large amount of the recent tendency of certain sections in the country to despair of getting fair representation of their views in the House, and to resort to disquieting symptoms of socaaJ unrest. The real reason at the back of the opposition to the Bill was that it was. regarded as an attack on the privilege, prestige, and sanctity of pro- perty. He commended the Bill a6 a first instalment of much-needed ceform of our electoral system. (Ministerial cheers. ) Mr. J. H. Thomas (Lah.) said the Labour Party that the measure whs not r early drastic enough; they thought it should apply ( to bye-elections as well as to Genera. > Elections. < The Premier. 1 Mr. Asquith said there was a great difference in the tone of the various I critics of the Bill. Alost of its critics admitted that the plural vote was an anomaly, and indefensible in principle. but the last speaker (Mr. Watson Ruth- erford) had given them an uncompro- mising defence of the plural voter, showing that if he had his way the plural voter would neither disappear nor wonld his preva lence be substantially mitigated. (Opposition cheers.) That was not the |line taken by the mover of the amendment and other speakerr. 0:1 the Opposition c-ide. There was no other democratic country in which the system of plural voting prevailed. When tho principle of the referendum was promidgatcd as part of the official pro- gramme of the Tory party the electors were assured that plural voting would not be allowed. All that the more moderate opponents of the Bill pleaded fo- was that they should deal in an exceptional way with exceptional classes of constituents, as, for instance, in the City of Loudon and at the Universities. He could not for the life of him see why the City of London should be treated in a different way from any of the great commercial centres in the country. i (Continued on Page 3).
