THE SUFFRAGE QUESTION. "AS DEAD AS QUEEN ANNE." [Bt Electric Telegraph—Copyright 1 [United Press Association London, June 15. The bomb discovered in St. George's chapel consisted of a canister of gunpowder. Two suffragettes \yere ejected from the Abbey for disturbing' evensong. The crowd molested them, and they were forced to seek police protection. Afterwards they were hustled in the street, but escaped in a motor 'bus. The police, fearing danger, stopped the Hyde Park meeting.

A large crowd on Hampstead 'Heath attacked the suffragettes and their male supporters. They smashed the platform and hustled the supporters into a pond. Interruptions at St.. Paul's lasted throughout the anthem. A woman protested against the presence of the judges who ordered women to be tortured. A suffragette chained to the plank connecting the chairs could only be removed after the plank had been sawn.

Mr Philip Snowden, M.P., in a speech in London, said militancy struck a blow at the very essential of civilisation, namely, the substitution of reason by brute force. A year ago there was a prospect of the, measure passing the House of Commons, but now, through the militants' action, the suffrage question was as dead as Queen Anne. NABBED AT THE HORSE SHOW. (Received 10.50 a.m.) London, June 15.' A woman, garbed as a hospital nurse, was found at the Horse Show, Olympia, with a bomb concealed under her cloak.
