SUFFRAGETTES RELEASED.
Keceived November 26, 8.35 a.m. LONDON, November 25. The Government has unexpectedly released eight of the suffragettes who were imprisoned last month. (The women preferred to go to prison rather than pay a fine for causing a disturbance in the lobby of the House of Commons. When the police interfered the women linked hand's so as to form barriers round their leaders, who mounted a bench and continued to harangue the gathering. Additional police were summoned, and after a struggle the women forming the bodyguard were compelled to take refuge in flight, leaving hats, bonnets, and hairpins behind them.)
