THE SUFFRAGETTES.

MRS PANKHUEST’S OPINION I London, November 30. Three women were arrested at Aberdeen, hidden in a pay box. It was supposed that they had a bomb, but it proved to be a box of ammunition for a tov pistol. One of the girls made a fierce struggle, and before the police overpowered her her clothers were torn off her back. Further suffragette pillar-box outruges arG reported in the city, mclvidiug one at the ;General 1 Post Office, where acid was poured m, despite police watchers. Many merchants refrain from using the pillar-boxes. Mrs Pankhurst, speaking at Leicester, said that the militants had_ tried breaking Government proper -y v.itboUt effect, then shop windows, and now pillar-boxes, because they would touch everybody. The agitating could only be stopped by giving women a vote. MISTAKEN IDENTITY.
