IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
THE PROROGATION SPEECH.
FOREIGN KkLATI@NS
FRIICNDLY,
Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. 'LONDON, August 9. (Received August 10, at 0.10 a.m.) Parliament has been prorogued. The Speech from the Throne stated that Britain's foreign relations were friendly. Sincere pleasure was afforded in assenting to the Commonwealth Bill, which added to the resources of the Empire. There was fair ground for hoping that the South African war was drawing to a close. It had been marked by much brilliant skill, placing in the strongest light the heroism and high military qualities of troops from all parts of the Empire. It was uncertain how far the Chinese authorities were concerned with the insurgent mobs in the attacks on the Legations. The Allies had made the utmost efforts to worthily punish the unexampled crimes.' The bills passed during the session include legislation for the registration of limited companies, dealing with the operations of money-lenders, workmen's dwellings, and the augmentation of the naval reserves.
