THE SUFFRAGETTES.

DISTURBANCE IN CHURCH. BT ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH—COPYRIGHT. TIMES AND SYDNEY SCN SERVICES. LONDON, July 7. In the course of Sunday afternoon’s service at Westminster Abbey, Mrs. Dacre-Fox, stylishly dressed, and supported by another suffragette, walked up the main aisle and commenced denouncing tho torture of women. The great congregation sat silent, but a detective hurried up the aisle, placed a handkerchief over the woman’s mouth, and removed her unresisting. Both women were taken to Holloway Prison. THE PANKHURST VIEW. (Received July 8, 9.15 a.m.) SYDNEY, July 8. Miss Adela Pankhurst has arrived. Interviewed she said that militancy was not ruining the cause. It was of no use converting people by other means. The whole Cabinet favoured the vote with the exception of Messrs. Asquith and Harconrt, who wore opposed to it simply for party reasons. They feared women would constitute an un reckoned force at elections. This kept tu«m from giving women the vote. There was nothing for women to do but to continue the present means until they get tired of seeing law and order upset and give women the vote.
