But is was not iscretion 'ind to his being ie British Sine at Gilghit. The iceroy's visit Set "Kashmir, undertaken about the same time, and which was the subject of much peaalation, had the same incentive. .England has not' been idle in the work of proselytizing the tribesmen of that disputed region, but in some important respects she labors ata disadvantage as compared with Russia. The kings of Hunza 'and Nagar boast, singular to relate, of descent from Alexander the Great, and are ofa remarkably proud race. The British have shown very little consideration for their claims until recently, and there has for generations been a feeling of hatred en- these modern Alexanders to- bod wards England and her representatives. The © Russians, on the other hand, have always peck the proud potentasés of India witha how of respect, ay haveconsequently 5 age welcome Giitors. 7 When the Russian Captain Gromchevtsky, with a squadron of Cossacks, visited that region in the summer of 1889, they made so many friends that they had no difficulty in repeating wit visit in 1890 and again this year. ery ap- -- ce of an armed E palialy force, owever small, has, on the other hand, been greeted with sullenness, if - not open opposition. This summer the visiting party of Russians was larger than ever before, andincluded the Cossavk division under the famous Col. Yanoff. It pene- trated to the siaians leading from the Pamir plateau into Hunza, and the resuit of the excursion was soon observed in the increas- ing insolence of tribesmen toward the British. It was eviaent that they believed that they now had an ally who would protect them from the hated British, and even back them up in any predatory raids they might meke against the red-coats. Meanwhile, British diplomats have been insisting that the here of influence of the Indian Govern- ment must be recognized as paramount u to the southern slopes of the Hindu-Koosh, and that, whether it be so recognized or not, it was necessary for the proper protection of the northern Indian frontier that Eng- land be allowed to check the lawlessness of the tribesmen, who are wont to harass the loyal peoptes of that district. The tribes complained of rioctous brigands, cattle- thieves and slave-dealers. 'Ene number of Kashmirese slaves in Central Asia is aid by travellers to be astonishing, nor, in spite of their claims to a distinguis'sed ancestry, can the rulers he respectable. The King of Hunza, ne many a better known predecessor in the course of history, murdered his father in onder to mount the throne, and the King of Nagar procured the waylaying and removal of his brother in order to-seize the reins of gov- ernment. No one need waste any sy mpathy upon the natives, who now stand ready t be crushed between the forces of England and Russia. The final struggle which is to decite the future mastery of the region is probably not far distant. Russia denies the right of England to any influence, much less any actual military possession, beyond Kashmir, while Lord Salisbury encourages the pretensions of the Viceroy's Government to supremacy in that region. Hence it would seem that a continuance cf the pres- ent status must be impracticable for any great length of.time. ANOTHER IRISH FEACAS, - In Which Mr. John Dillon Gets a Crack on the Crown. ' A Dublin cable says : The Clare County Convention was held at Ennis to-day. Mr. John Dillon, M. P., who was met on _ his arrival at the railroad station by several bands of music and by a large delegation of McCarthyites, paced himseli at the head of a procession, which marched from the railroad depot to the Town Hall. The Par- nellites, however, were also out in 'teca, and made a succession of fierce attacks upon the McCarthyites' procession. ~ Brickbats and blackthorns were used' in the most effective manner possible by both parties. On both sides there were scores upon scores of wounded men, many of the sufferers com plaining of broken heads. The McCarthy- ites' procession, amid groans from the Parnellites, was halted at the O'Connell monument, and then Mr. Dillon made sev- eral attempts to address the surging crowds around him. Fivally the entire local forces of the constabulary succeeded in separating the McCarthyites from their' enemies. A t many people were injured, iacluding Mir. Dillon, who was cutor the head with a stone. Christian Scientist Charged With Murder A San Bernardino, Cal despatch says: Mrs. Geo.

On the bed by the side of the body of Miss Bruce lay a double-barrel shotgun, with the stock broken into splinters. On the near the body o! the Hatch boy, lay al bladed batcherknife. No clue to the mur- derers has yet leen found, but tramps seen in the neighborhood are siispected of the rime. A large posse started southward tiie Saturday nizht to scour the country for the murderers, hut the extentof their plunder is as yet unknown. Some of the occupants of the Packwood house had been there only a few days, ani the amount of money and valuables which they had in their possession is merely a matter of conjecture Details of the tragedy are * coming in slowly. Mr. Packwood left home on Fri- day morning for Maitland to be gone two ays. Mrs. L. D.

Two hundrel men with bloodhounds are scouring the country. The victims of the brutal murder were buried from the Hatch residence yesterday morning. Nearly 500 persons were in at- tendance. The epot where this tragedy has been enacted was the scene of a brutal quadruple murder many yeers ago. During the Sem- inole war, a family named Shives, consist- ing of father, motier, and two children, lived there and' were inurdered by the Indians. Their bodies were horribly mutilated. A NEIGHBOR'S STORY. A New Smyrna special says the convic- tion is growing them that the murders at the Packwood howe were committed by hunger, fever and dysentry. A large num- er of women and children, whose want of strength impeded the rapid march of t Laggards through illness were killed at the rate of from 10 to 50 daily. At night they were placed in roof- less huts, while the goats which were being taken along were kept in cov- ered stables. Every morning the bodies of those who had died during the night were dragged out and thrown to the hyenas which 'followed the camp. Many of the poor creatures were covered with burns and sores, resulting from the punishment inflicted upon them." * Similar accounts were given of cruelties practised by other slave-hunters. e missionaries ransom the 'slaves, and place => eo "}those that are ill in a hospital whenever possible. A BANSEE'S SUICIDE. A Chicago Bank Officer Hangs Himself in a Closet. A Grand Rapids despatch says': Henry Narshall Kingman, Vice- President and late cashier of the First National Ban Chicago, committed suicide in this city yesterday morning by hanging himself. He was 49 years old, and a year ago resigned his position in Chicago upon the advice of phy sicians because of his health, and went to Alma for treatment. He improved some- what, and a week ago came here on his way home. He stopped hev@ to visit Frank Chapin, bringing his wife and three daugh- jters with him. He seemed in good spirits 'and Sohjaa unusual was noticed in his con- diti He went to bed early, leaving his wife "saadice When she retired she found him all right. She went to sleep, and on awakening in the morning found he was not by her side. She found the closet door locked with the key on the inside, and at !once summoned Mr. Chapin. On opening 'the door of the closet they were horrified to | find the body of the missing man suspended from a hook inthe wall. He had hanged himself with a shawl strap. Every effort was made to suppress the news which only vi- came out lasteverfing. It is believed physical weakness and ill-health produced despon- dency or temporary insanity and induced the awful deed. The suicide leaves a large fortune. | WATER OFF A DEAD BODY. Shoching State of Affairs ta: an Insare t Asylum in Illinois. } A despatch from Jacksonville, IIL, 'The 1,200 inmates of the Tuchman ila - sane Asylum for 34 days-were using water drawn from a reservoir in which lay the corpse of Win.

Diplomatic Relations between Bul _ garia and France Broken Off. RUSSIA PUTS IN-AN OAR. A Paris cable says: All the statements: oe on md ner aves to the United Press serious state of affairs ca the piviience of diplomatic rela- tions tances france and Bulgaria, owing e wee expulsion from the latier country of onine, a French journalist, are nah more than borne out: by the actual facts, and more recent events show shat not only was the situation in no way exa gerated, but that the incident is more seri- ous than at first supposed. There is a sus- picious calm in high diplomatic circles, an very little is to be gathered as to the nature of the almost constant interchange of tele- a ea despatches which has been going on or the past 48 hours. It is known, how- ever, that the French consuls at Rustchuk, Bourgas and Philippopolis had followed the example of M. Tavel, the French consul at Sofia, and, acting upon instructions received from their Government, have left Bulgaria. It should beexplained, however, in spite of the serigis aspect which the Chadonine incidéht has assumed, tha rance will not resort to arms in order to enforce her demand for satisfaction for the expulsion of the journalist referred to. But there are war clouds on the horizon for al that. For instance, the Bulgarian Minister of Finance has started for Vienna with the avowed 'intention of raising money wit which to strengthen the army of Bulgaria. } The Bulgarian Government, as if apprehend- | ing trouble, is Meri hurrying reinforce- ments of troo ustchuk and Philippo- polis, but it . difficult to find any real. cause for this warlike activity. It would hardly be possible for France to attack Bulgaria without forcing the passage of the Dardanelles and bombarding Varna from the Black Sea. Such a step as this, it need hardly be added, is not on the tapis at; present, so far as the general public knows. Of course, France might have the co-opéra- | tion of Russia in the matter, but such an eventuality is not even discussed by the: alarmist papers up to date A Sofia cable says : Tho French Consuls at Rustchuk, Bourgas and Philipopelis, in: obedience to orders from the French | Foreign Offices have withdrawn from the country on account of the expulsion of M.

A Columbus, O., despatch says: Wim. E. Fitzgerald, who was hanged at the peniten- tiary annex early this in murdered a police officer named William DB. Freed at oe Mahoning 'County, on May Id4th, 1891, The crime although a cold- blooded affair, was not in the strictest sense of the word premeditated.

Minister Lincoln's Butler, in a Fit of Re=> a therse, Outs His Throat. HAD STOLEN JEWELRY. A London cable says: Society is stirred up over a tragedy of integnational interest, involving a mysterious robbery jewels from the American legation and the death by suicide of the English butler, who was sus- .pected of the crime. Minister Lincoln some time ago engeeet as butler at the American legation an Englishman named John Thomp- son. The references given by Thompson were first-class. He had been assistant butler at Woddeson Manor for Baron Fer- dinand Rothschild, the son of the late Baron Anselm: Rothschild, of Frankfort; and brother-in-law of Lord Roths- child. - In that place he had given complete satisfaction, a fact which would have recommended him to any house in England, and-his Certificate of character showed that he was implicitly trusted in a household wherqgewelry was a conspicuous feature. Minister Lincoln was pleased to be able to get a butler of such unexceptionable character, and reposed the same confidence in Thompson that his former employer had. About a mcnth ago Mrs. Bradley Martin, the noted American society leader, was guest at the legation of Mr. and Mrs. Lin- coln, A valuable diamond spray was miss- ing during ey Martin's stay. It was an article on which Mrs. Martin set value, apart from its intrinsic worth, which was. large, a8 indicated by the reward of £500 | which she offered for its recovery. A most 'minute search was made chroukhow' | the llegation, but no trace of the jewel twas found.. The butler was not sus- pected in connection with the matter, and no one thought of asking him any questions, Great was the surprise, therefore, of Minis- ter Lincoln when, about a week after the loss of the diamond spray, 'Thompson went to Scotland yard and confessed that he was 'oe thief who had taken Mrs. Martin's welry, and that he felt it a duty to sur- ee, himself for punishment; that ever Isince the ro bbery his conscience had been ; tormenting him, and so forth. Notwith- 'standing the confess sion, the police had their ; doubts. The man's story was not alto- | gether coherent. Minister Lincoln appar- 'ently believed in the insanity theory, for ihe "insisted that hompson should released, and Thompson went forth to the ; world an English house servant without a 'character. He sought employment, but was unable to secure any engagement except the care of an empty house in Onslow garden. On Tuesday evening he said to his wife : 1 am feeling tired, I think I will lie € | down." He then we ont upstairs, and a few ; moments after his wife heard a noise which laronsed her suspicion that something was | wrong, She rushed upstairs. The blood was flowing froma horrible wound in her husband's throat, and he was still hacking haway, as if determined to make sure work jot it. Assheran toward him he fell dying in herarms, and the blood splashed over her i ress. He tried to kiss her, and ina iew | moments was dead. The theory is that jafter years of correct living he had allowed himself to be tempted by a gang of burglars engaged th a superior line of robbery, and em after taking Mrs. Martin's jewel and lelivering it to them he repented of his dlintioesente DARING MAIL ROBBERY, b The U.S. Mail. Pouches Taken on a Chie | cago Bireet. A Chicago despatch says: Jesse James' exploits were outdone to-night in Chicago. On one of the leading thoroughfares five daring of Uncle Som's biggest mail waggons, and at revolver point forced the postal employees to throw out several sacks. The bulky Government vehicle was then sent flying on its journey, the occupants being threatened tempted to arrest him. A running fight between the two men ensued, pistols being | ° ' used by both. Fitzgerald was finally cor- | nered near the outskirts of the town, and | turning, shot the oflicer dead. He w; immediately arrested und confined in the {* Youngstown jail until his trial occurred, | which, by the was, was one of the shortest | on record, lasting but seven days after the prisoner was arraigned. Fitzgerald was oad guilty of ee in the first degree, and sentenced to be hanged} ; on November 19th last. Governor Campbell granted him a respive until to-day, in order that the Supreme Court might pass on his case he highest tribunal sustained the verdict of the Mahoning County Court. Within the last week Fitzgerald has made _ -- death if they made an outery . So complete was the surprise effect by the bandits that the mail drivers failed to utilize the services of a large bull- dog which was beside them on their seat. Near midnight the stolen mail sacks, slit open and rifled of their contents, were found on Superior street, in the northern division of the city, fully three miley from the scene of the rojbery.
