Salisbury's Tribute to Siadstone's Fairness in
Foreign Affairs.
A Glasgow cable received to -day rays:
In his speech here yesterday Lord Sells -
bury said: "For many yeses an anwithe
-part of the duties of the foreign office has
been our relations with Mohammedan
communitiee lest their crumbling and de-
oey might cause a genera disturbance.
Whet derive is now deceasing, and in some
parte has passed away. The Sultan of
Turkey has devoted his energies to repair -
hag the confusion into whioh hie dominion
has fallen, end has anomeded in so averting
danger that the peace of Europe is no
longer menaced from that quarter,
more hopeful is the revival
in Penne, where there le ouch a desire for
greater liberty and such an increase of
material promises as to justify the hope
that that nation will never cause a conflict
with Christian powers. The revival in
Egypt also is among the moat wonderful
events of this generation." (Cheers.)
Referring to the convention with Portu-
gal, Lord Salisbury said it was no easy
matter to arrange that compact. England
had to refrain from anything likely to
injure a State linked with old recollections
of kinduese, and which must be regarded as
an essential portion of the European body.
On the other hand, we had to satisfy our
countrymen of the Gape Colony, who could
not understand why Portugal was
allowed to claim on paper the minima.
tion of a broad belt of Africa.
If this belt had been held by the Anglo.
Saxon race it would have been led to eiv.
ilizetion two centuries ago. The people of
Cape Colony wanted Portugal to be thrust
aside altogether. England had to observe
the prescription of International law, and
would not ignore the chime of Portugal to
certain portions of Africa. The Conven-
tion gives England highlands on which
white men oan settle and work. The low-
lands along the Zambesi were offered to
Portugal, and can only be worked by
people born there and having the blood of
that country.
Referring to Bad Africa, Lord Salisbury
held that the railway about to be carried
to Victoria Nyanze would destroy the slave
trade through the abolition of caravan
traffic,. Ile concluded by praising Mr.
Gladstone for the course he had adopted in
recant years of uniformly treating foreign
affairs without party feeling.
FRENCH FIEND SENTENCED.
An 'Unnatural Father Doomed to Death by
the Guillotine.
A Paris cable says: The Nanoy Court
has sentenced to death an extraordinary
criminal named Mercier. This man for
wears bore a high character. He was a
leading customs official and an esteemed
family man. 'Mercier, who is a widower,
was convicted of a series of startling crimes.
It was shown that he murdered the abbe of
Circouris and the abbens housekeeper,
robbed the presbyteey and then set fire to
the &toe to conceal bis crime. Afterwards
Le wooed a wealthy widow named Jacketed.
Thinking his only son, a boy of 8 years, an
obstacle to his suit, Mercier determined to
kill the led. This he did by bending hie
viotim's head so that the spine was broken
at the nape of the neck. When celled on
for an explanation of the boy's death, the
murderer alleged that it was due to an ac-
cident. Mercier also tried to murder the
widow Jacketare brother, who was opposed
to his sister marrying Mercier. After firing
through a window and wounding his victim
Herder set fire to the house, but the
wounded men was rescued by hia neighbors.
This crime was traced to Mercier, and at
the trial it was proved that the misdeeds
herein related were merely a part of a long
life of secret crime.
STRANGE FTRIO IN LONDON.
Mord Itomilly, a Female Domestic and the
Butler Fatally Suffocated.
A London Cable says: At midnight on
Saturday, Lord Hominy upset a paraffins
lamp in the drawing -room of his London
residence. He was alone at the time, and
vainly attempted to extingnieh the fire un-
aestisted. Shortly after the butler smelled
smoke, and on sleeking a hurried investiga-
tion found Lord Romilly lying senseless in
the burning drawing.rooro, the nobleman
having been overcome by smoke and the
fames arising from the burning contents of
the lamp. Lord Hominy was subsequently
removed to St. George's Hospital,
where all attempts to revive him failed
He was 65 years of age. Several fire ermines
in response to alarms sent out hastened to
Lord Hominy's house, about which an
excited crowd had gathered. The firemen,
on entering, found Blanche Griffin, a
housemaid, and Emma Lovell, the cook, in
the same state of insensibility in which
their employer wens diecovered. They were
also removed to the hospital, where i was
found that both were already dead.
Another female servant and the butler had
succeeded in 'stemming from the house. The
Ere, which was not extensive, was soon
extingalithed.

A. SIORHON TEST CASE.
The Courts to Say Whether Mormon nand -
grants May Be Sent Back.
A New York despatch says: Marie
Haselman, aged 22, a Mormon immigrant
from Munich, is the first person the immi-
gration authorities ever decided to bar out
of the country on the ground of being a
professed polygamist. She is not an aotuel
polygamiet, but she announces that it is
her intention to become one. She arrived
on the Wyoming last Wedneeday, and was
bound for Logan, Utah, where she has a
Mormon sister living. The authorities
have decided to send her back to Munich,
where her parents live. She says they are
Mormons also. The girl has made a long
affidavit, and on this declaration the
United States authorities intend making a
test case. In it she says that born, broueht
up, and baptized a Catholic, she embraced
the Mormon doctrine, and intends to go to
Utah and live in polygamy. If her future
husband, whom sbe hoped to meet in
ninth, could after marrying her take to
himself seven or eight more wives she
would be perfectly satisfied and love him
juat the same. She also says she was con-
verted to the Mormon faith at meetings
she attended in the Southern part of Ger-
many. Her parents, she stye, approved of
her course. The Morroon elders say they
will take the wise iuto the conrts. The
other men:there of the Mormon peaty were
allowed to go West.

A
Fray's London cable says :
Hardly 20 per omit, of the Members of
the HOU° of Commons reappeared on Ole

inAuenzi, the tedium of the Lend BM and
dimantent over the lariefuese of the noes°
combined to present an array of empty
benches. Tontem the attendance woe so
weep° that the whips were obliged to
gather up from the lobbiee and even to

to make a quorum, The weariness of the
House has enabled Mr. Balfour to vitally
alter the tharmoter of the bill. Originally

of the Aahbourne Act to enable the trams.
fee of larger holdings to the adventage of
the great landlords and well-to-ao harmers.
Balfours new olause at first proposed that
the greeter part of the purohase money be
advanced on holdinge under thirty
pounds, Mr. Parnell eetimated that
the alteration would enable 150,000
tenants th come under the provisiore
of the bill who would otherwiee have been
excluded. Official statistics show that 92
per met. of the whole tenantry pay lees
than £80. Under prewar° from the
Ulster members Balfour consented to sub-
stitute 450 as a lime. The number of
tenanta paying between 430 and £50,
however, is only 7 per cent. of the whole.
The transformed bill paesed the committee
stage to -night. The Opposition presented
an old medley of English Radicals, Mo.
Carthyitee, Liberal -Unionists end Ulster
Conservatives. The main boderlit Liberals
supported tbe Government, being setisfied
that the measures now give small tenants
the lion's share of money advanced. During
the debate Mr. Healy and Mr. Sexton
twitted Mr. Parnell for upbolding the
proposals of a man whom heattadelitherto
denounced as the worst enemy of Ireland.
Speaking at a League meeting to -night Mr.
Parnell replied. He odd that in the
acceptance of the new clause lay the
ultimate solution of the land question.
Though it was a Clmaseevative measure and
was given through a roan who had dis-
graced his tenure of office, it was a good
Mame, end if driven from public life for
supportirg it he would cheerfully yield,
being convinced that it was among the
greatest eervioes it had ever fallen to his
lot to render to Ireland.
MAY KISS VaasuE.
--
Moreover, the Action Hay With Impunity
be Performed on the Street.
A Boston, Maas., despatch Gaye : A
Boston judge has to day decided thet it is
genie lawful for a men to kiss his wife very
affectionately on a public street. The cam
is peculiar, and has its funny as well as
serione empect. According to the testimony
of the court, it appeared theft Mr. Hall, a
respectable young man engaged in the
boot and shoe business in East Beaton,
was seen by an austere and sensitively
virtuous policeman named Megaire,
standing in a doorway in Hanover street
late last night, engaged in the delightful
occupation of kissing Mrs. Hall. Patrol-
man Maguire, in vigorous Celto-Stmon, in-
terrupted the oeculatory proceedings, and
insisted that the couple should move on.
They demurrea, whereupon the austere
policeman took them to the station.honse,
and this morning brought them into court.
Mr. Hall's counsel vigorously denonnaed
the conduct of the policeman as an outrage
on the rights of honest virtuous citizens.
Judge Burke mild that he did not think the
arrest an outrage, as the faot of their kiss-
ing each other on the street was certainly
an unusual action to the officer, who did
know the couple's relation to each other.
He ehought it wonld have been better for
them to have deferred their marital effete
tions until they had reached their home,
but that it was certainly not a criminal act
for them to kiss on the street. He ordered
their discharge, and they left the court-
room both happier and wiser.
BOPE BROKE.

An Awful Spectacle at a Hanging Out in
Nebraska.
A Broken Bow, Neb,, despatoh says:
Albert Havenstine, the murderer of Wil-
liam Ashley and Hiram Roten, was hanged
tbis afternoon. When the trap was sprung
Havenstineas body shot down six feet.
There was a snap and a gmen and the
body fell to the ground. The rope had
broken. Havenatine, half consoions, was
pioked up by the sheriff and Ms deputies
and taken bath to the gallows. The rope
was doubled and the trap again eprung.
This time Havenstine'a nook was broken
and death was apparently painless. Five
thousand people, who had gathered from
the surrounding country, demolished a
stookede 16 feet high which had been Mended
around the geneses' in order that they might
witness the execution. There was no fur-
ther disturbance.

A Montreal despatch says Despite the

more rigid—taken in connection with the
export of Canadian cattle, a cablegram
announces the unpleasant fact that a cargo
of Canadian cattle have been detained at
Liverpool on arespicion of , pleuro -pneu-

happened three or four times during last

New York." Re was handsome and dia•
anguished, appeared to be the poesessor of
unlimitea meanie and while evidently suf-
fering from habitual melancholy soon be-
came a favorite with the feW to whom be
gave hie friendship. The object of hie stay
in Chicago was a mystery to 'all
except Manager Cartoon, of the
hotel, to whona he partially told his
story, Kelnoky, according to his mien
coufeeeion, was at one time the staunch
defender anl paseionate admirer of the
erratic Natalie of Sereia during bee some-
times embarrassing visits to the Austrian
oapitel, He had else been a chosen cam-
penion in the nada at the gay young
Crown Prince whose suicide shocked mit
Europe. Theis event only drove Kelnoky
to wilder dissipations. Seeking change in
America, he accidentally met Miss Mitte
Atherton, a member of the Daffy Company
aurime its laet Chicago engagement. She
was the poesesscr of a voice of unusual
power and melody, a feultless form and a
therroing face. She led the Baron a dole-
ful life both here mad in other cities to
which he followed her. She constantly
kept before him the fact that she could
never become hiu wife, as her heart was
already given to one for whose sake she
would ehortly end her steno life. Inalnoky
fondly beaame convincied° of the truth of
this, and remained behind when the com-
pany left Chicago.
Ten deem ago he again weakened and
mettle a flying trip to Lonieville in one last
effort to aonmeer the pretty actress. While
there he seems to have met one of his
numerous rivets, though not the successful
one. Last Friday morning he returned to
the Richelieu, having given up his original
idea of following Miss Atherton from
Louisville to Pittsburg. The same night
tlae man whom he had encountered in the
South dined with him at the Richelieu
resteurant, the two seeming to take
morbid interest in together drowning their
mutual sorrowe. A too free indulgence in
the wine, however, quickly ended the
friendly character of the :meeting. In the
parlor a few nainuteo after dinner 5 cry of
rage was heard and a heavy fall. Insanely
had knecked his conapauith down for
speaking dierespeotfully of the woman he
loved.
An hour afterwards a friend of the
Southerner tippeared with a respectful
note demending a meeting. Eitinoky at
onow accepted in a note, whioh he sent to a
friend then stopping at the Riehelieu, and
to whom the Southerner's second was
referred. With the exception of the raela
act which gave the excuse for a challenge,
the affair was carried out with regard to
every nice) distinction of the code. On
Setureley night the Baron was informed
that all the details had been arranged, and
that the meeting would take place at jeak-
eon Park at daybreak of the following
morning. • Kalnoky's eecond having the
choice of weapons had selected rapiers, the
Baron being, unfamiliar with the pistol,
and the arrangement being satiefactory to
his opponent, who claimed familiarity with
fencing.
Lest night Eelnoky expressed to Mr.
Carlson the intense satisfaction he felt at
the programme for the morrow. If he bed
the luck to fall, he said, his opponent's
blade would but take the piths of a weapon
in his own hand, as hie wild life bad (Nosed
him to be disowned. The Baron settled
his bill, and left word that if he did not
survive all his belongings at the hotel were

he had fought.
At 4 o'clock this morning he entered e
carriage. At ten minutes peet 6 the ad-
versaries were &Wing each other, sword in
hand and hoed to the shirts. A. moment
later tbe word was given, and like a flash
the Southerner commenced. Aftee
some sharp fighting the South-
erner sameeded in inilioting a slight wound
in the right leg of the Baron. A little
later the Baron me,de a clever lunge, wlaicla
prioked the skin on the right shoulder of
his adversary. The latter, however, parried
admirably, and at this moment, to the
horror of the seconds, the Baron appeared
to slip and literally to fall on the point of
his adversary's sword, which entered his
neck. A stream of blood gushed from the
wound. The seconcle at onoe stopped the
oombat. Baron Kalnolty was assisted to
an adjoining knoll, and his wound hastily
dressed. After ascertaining that the reeult
would not necesearily be fatal, the South-
erner and his friend left the field.
