THE QUEEN’S SPEECH.

NO LEGISLATION TO BE SUGGESTED. Irish Members Will Want the Government to Declare Its Policy —Italian Banker Attempts Suicide Foreign News of Interest. London, Aug. 15.—Tjie queen’s speech, after the customary assurance of peace with all the powers, it is expected, will refer to the termination of the war between China and Japan, and to the steps taken in regard to the mission outrages. There will be a strong allusion to Armenia and to the reforms which the powers are pressing upon the sultan, and also to the Inclusion of Bechuana land in Cape Colony. It will conclude with a brief reference to the estimates to be presented, and to the fact that parliament cannot be expected at the present season to proceed with active legislation. The Times says that John Redmond will move an amendment to the address from the throne, challenging the government to declare its Irish policy. John J. Clancy will move an amendment in favor of amnesty to political prisoners. BINGEN ATTEMPTS SUICIDE. Failed Genoa Banker Takes Poison but Will Recover.
