After an apology from the Premier and Mr Balfour, the Speaker buried the recent incident in a few wellchosen words. The newspapers are unanimous in expressing a feeling of relief that the matter has been amicably adjusted. The inquest is concluded on the remains of Mr Richards, of Broadstairs, a bathing place in Kent, who was killed a week ago through the explosion of a parcel brought to him through the post. The evidence adduced failed to show a cause for tho-outrago, and the mystery remains unsolved. The ' Cowes Week,' the great yachting carnival of the year, opened on Monday. The Handicap Race for Her Majesty's Cup was won by the German Emperor's Meteor (better known by its original name of the Thistle). The Valkyrie was disqualified through sailing a wrong course. The Prince of Wales' yacht Britannia, with her owner and the Emperor of Germany on Board, won the 10- ton yacht race at the Cowes Regatta. The Valkyrie was second, and the American boat Navahoe third. The Emperor assisted in setting the sails, and took his spell at the helm with the rest. The Belgian miners offer to cooperative with the strikers, with the view of bringing on an international strike. The coke burners have joined in the strike. A section of Yorkshire mine ownj ers offer to withdraw the notices reducing the wages, and to give a i pledge not to attempt a reduction i tor a year. | The a£[itato>'s assert that there are : 100,000 unemployed in London. : They have written to the Premier, ami if he doss not reply they will hold nu-etings outside the residences of members of Parliament. The committee (presided over by Lord Onslow) appointed to enquire , into the question of marking frozen 1 m: j at have submitted their report. i They find that there has bean much j evasion of the Trades Mark Act, i but that the offence is principally ! confined to the ratail trade. They believe that in the event of im- . ported meat being marked and I recognised i>y the public its popularity would increase to such an extent that it would displaee second class Home grown meat. The committee lvcijininond that butchers, dealing in imported meat, should be registered.
