THE BABBICOMBE MURDER.I
THE BABBICOMBE MURDER. LATER PARTICULARS. The police have become incr8ll8in¡:ly eontldent that they are ou the right track, and at the resumed coroner's inquest evidence will be adduced tending to show the motive for the murder, which hitherto has been absent. Elisa tlai-ris, the cook, has made a statement to Captain Cunningham, but utterly denied any com- plicity in tho crime, After this interview, in talking with her fellow set vants, he cried bitterly, and said it was very hard that because she hap- j pened to be a relative of Lye's slie should be sus- p'-cted of beiug concerned in the death of her mistress, for whom she entertained feelings of re- "Iwet IIntl affection. She further said that though John •• talked a good deal," if she had known; that he had medllatNi any injury t"w. Miss Keyse she would at once have in- formed her mistress of it; and. bunti,, into tears, she "declared solemnly h,.f"re HUll" that she knew n"lldl1 more of what hail occurred at The Glen on the night of the murder tha i she had already slated, and that if she had further knowledge, although it 01h(ht incriminate her brother, nl) personal feeling would cause her to withhold informat ion. Both the elderly servants believe implicitly in Harris. It was stated 011 Friday, us a significant fact, that Ehaa Harris, the Cook, Was the ..Iy one of ,h women servants not pn^ent -?t the funeral of Mi,s K., ?.. In fairness tnthugid it shfo?d be known that a)? p?ead?t I :k"d 10 be Ilo..d to follow her late mistress to •I e grave, out "111I()t peimitted. At the inquest oil Kriday the evidence was somewhat c i<H cting as to whether it would be impossible to get to the cupb""r,1 in which the oilcan was kept without crossing the prisoner's bed. It had now h,)"" ascertained that the bed. which ï. only aoout a foot high, when turned down w »u!d reach within four and a half incites of a "k,tr" table rtx»d against Uw opposile wail of the pantry. Suppo^iag thi? table io be in use, it would be exceedingly d1fn It even for a person whr knew the arrangement of ih«rootn to pass; Uut if tl-- w,e d,.p???,1 on ils 111ns:1 there would be no ddii utfy in a.:dtln at the cup- board without int"rfI' b,i. It may be stated in this connection .h"t the hatchet" knife, and the blood-htainud shirt will not he r?? turned from London in rimo for the adjourned inquest on F",d"y, ,md that Captain Harbor will shorlv ;,ke a j\)ûn'y to the Metropolis, carrY1n with IIlIn tlie empty oil can upon which suspicious stains wane found. other IHtich:4 found are to be submitted to Dr. Sievensou for ttllal) sis.

It seemed to be thought an un. \1lt¡\1 and, in soma quarters, an improper course but it had been taken before under similar circum- stances, and he took it in the interest of both parties, to save expense and bring litigation to a. end as speedily ns possible. If the Court of Appeal decided that he was svrong on the point of law raised, there would be no necessity for a new trial, and the plaintiff would be spared expense and delay. If either p?rty were advantaged by the course taken on Saturday it was the plaintiff. I A BLUNDER WITH A MORAL.

Sir C. DILKR explained that the reason the second reading of the Redistribution Hill was fixed for MtMth a day as Thuntd? WMthttthe nwo.?sity of d.,Ii,, wilh the qu.tlon at once WIU generally admitted, and the Committee was the more Impor. tant stage. Mr. A.

Sir W. LAWSON maintained that the Government had not receded from the ground they originally t^ok upon the franchise and redisi ribution ques- tion. The whole situation was changed when they found that Lord Salisbury had become a Radical. (Laughtr. ) Mr. 1LLINGWORTH (L.t Bradford) could onlv regard that course as an acknowledgment of the supremacy of the House of Lords, and he hoped and believed that that was the last occasion on which a Prime Minister would so act. Mr. LABOUCHEKB trusted that the feeling against the House of Lords would be increased by the acceptance by the thvernment of proposal's from the Tory leaders. When the Redistribution Bill came on he should put everything that was good in it down to the Prime Minister and every- thing that was bad in it down to lArd Salisbury.

It is believed in official quarter* that one more interview beyond that which he- been appointed for Wednesday at Dowuing-street be'ween Lord Salisbury, Sir Stafford Northcnte, a».d the Priiuo Minister will suffice to complete the agreement lie to the main features of the measure. The Government are desirous of takins the second reading on Thursday, December 4, f possible, but it row appears more probable that the vote on the second rcalling will nut be taken so soon.

MR. GLADSTONE'S PEERAGE. A CONFESSION OF DEPARTED GREATNESS. Our London Welsh correspondent telg",¡>h:- Soule importance is really at tached to the rumour that Mr. Gladstone is likely to accept a peerage as soon us he has got the Franchise and Rt-disi ribu- tion Bills through both Houses. 1 had a chat with a Government official this evening on the subject, and hi. opinion was that such a contingency is pvobabie at any moment. The fact of it is,the Prime Minister isabout played out a* u popular leador in the Lower House, and nobody knows it better than he does him; -If. He has bean a long time realising it, certainly; but that is in a man who has slid, an in. ordinately good opiu on of his own ",P"¡I. I think the kind and amiable things which the Radical members have said of hin) since hi. miserable surrender to the Lords must have per- colated from the Lobby in'o tlw nanctum iantnnun of his private room. Ho really se« tns more than ¡IIIH."stu\1n..d 10 face the fiercer spirits of his party. And I don't wonder it it. If hd had talked less bouncingly, he Ipight havj broken his fall a little. A. it i¿, his bejt friends arc fain to acknowledge that he has "come a copper," and that the best thing lie can do is take hims-lf up. stairs. ThH chances or his doing his are the ropic or general gossip in London this evening. It is j confidently averred by tnoso who are to a great extent behind the scenes that the Premier will never stand the hazard of another general election.

Amongst others pre- sent were Sir Charles Tupper, Colonel King-Harman, M P., Mr. Dizin Hirtland, M.P., Sir H. Tyler, M.P., Captain Cruiksliank (Conservative candidate for Leicester), Colonel Grant, ftc. Letters of apology liad been received froin Lord Salisbury, Lord alin- dolph Churchill, Sir M.

The usual loyal and patriotic toaste having been honoured, Mr. Dixon-Haatland proposed the Health of Sir Juhn Macdoimld." Sir JOliN Macdosald, in replying, said that the great men of England, no matter what tlieir political home convictions, were anxious to con- tinue the bond which connected theCoionies with the mother country. All educated men in Canada were Conservatives, for the simple reason that they were the party wlio believed in the connec- tion between England and Canada. No mlincould venture to ° If. I,ill"jf to any constituency iu Canada with hopes of success if he did not .8,1 thlll he was in favour of this connection. Contrasting the feeling existing between the French and English Canadians at the time of his entrance into Pat liament with that of the day, 10" said at this moment there Was not a more loyal body of subjects to her Majesty lhan the French Canadians. They were, in fact, French- speaking Englishmen; and if there were one thing more th, another which they dreadod, it was to lie under the influence of the Atheism and Com- munism of the France of to,dav. Capuin UKOUL:lllANK proposed The Conserva* pr.p..e? 11 TI)e Con.;orv.- Sir STAPFOKU NORTKCOTK, in responding, said: I lion asked to say a few words to you on the Con- servative cause, and I say, on b ihalf of Conserva- tism throughout the Empire, to those wiio, like you, are working heart and soul for the promotion of the great cotuaiou cause,that, If we are to main- IlIinlhe great dignity of the Empire; if we are to keep our hold on the afl jjtions of our Co¡oDi.I. I will not say that we must pursue ibis particular line of fiutneial policy, or that we must a lopt this or th it particular view of narrow ,r parochial interests, but that we must convince our C»lonists and the world at I-rge tint we are worthy to be the loaders and the centre of the great British Empire. (Hear, hear.) Th«*re is no use in our appealing to past traditions, or the greatness of uur WtMlth -or commerce, or anything of thai kind If we do not h<JW that we are ani- ,t?dt1, spirit as that which has ,1, t we ?liall fail iiiiati-ii lily. At thesauiu time, theie I. WI doubt that the C,m. servative cause in England give* occasion, I will not say for anxiety, but for a certain amount of inte- rest on the part of those who maintain it. We know i hat weare.as represented in the tJl)u.e of ('om,n, '115, for Ih., moment in a minority, but we also know that the main principles which we hold dear are not held Iy ,in this countr'v—(cheersi— but are h-dd by a majority.

When We speak of the Conservative cause I wish to point out that ihwre Itr two kinds of Conservatives. 'fhre are whtt we may call active Conservatives and pissjve (V>n«ei cadVf*. Tnere are a great many passive Conservatives all over th; Empire. There are ti greaf many people who think upon the who!everything j not < x ictly as it 1I1,uid LJ. but that upon the whol* the staSi of things 1. very good, and that they wou»d like it 1'0 .in as it is, and, for their part, they would ne a r ,.til"1 finger to disturb their institu- i-M*. This 11I,ivI! Conservatism jot good in itself, hUI it i. not of the slightest use. (1\11". hear.) Bur the-e N all active Conservatism wilid, i¡.¡ the spiut of Hie Conservative parly, as J venture to .4.ty it ought to btot. Wo ought not to content out-. selves wiih merely saying that Wtl do not want to uper all these things. We want people who are ready to co operate in tlie pio notion of these objects which are as dear to the Conservatives as IlkY Kre the mass of the people. We count men who will devote ihemselves to questions which are fir a domestic character, and which have for their object the bcnelit of the great masses of our com- munities, and, Ht the same time, we are desirous to promote a feeling of interest in the of our Empire, and to preserve the great Empire to which we have succeeded. Hear, h"I1".) We here are but -t few, and )et I have no doubt that every man I soe before me is able in some ah ipe or other to exercise an influence over s >me nf those with whom he comes ill on* tact, to dissipate 'hegieit fallacies that are con* tinually being propagated Oil questions at. isfcue hel ween the Liberal and Cmservttive parlies. Our t..sk now Is to set to work and endeavour to convince the people of this country that we linve a policy und that we h"ve views of our own, and th"t if we are supported by the people W, will spare eiLl'?, P"i"r labour in onl.r bring about the objects which e have so much at heart.

'They have made themselves respon- sible ror verv large and important tlrllp"II="I, an.1 il h,, been our duty, ns those proposals have been made before U.

They ougiit to be settled on a broad basis, and in Roch a way as to give as little occasion as visible for re-opening the question, and above all the Conservatives nf this country ought to fix their eyes on thi; th.t it is ".t the way in which you ."y ca»t the constituencies of the moment, but the way you m*y bring the forces of < onservatism to bear upon the new constituencies when tliey are made. (Hear, hea>\| I remember how, when w were defeated in 1868, there were men in every part of the country who immediately took courage, and said that that defeat, must be wiped out without dfluy, who haw that the right way to wipe it out was to address ourselves to the new electorate and the great masses of those who had lieen enfranchised. You saw in the work that was done I)el wtvn 1868 and tr.74 what the triumph was when a proper appl cdion of Conservative principles was made, and \OU will do Ihe same again I venture to I.-p? even more rapidly.

I beg to maintain that I have found the columns of the Western Mail more open and readv for the prru and cons of every case than any otll., paper printed In the Saxon language in 4ou'l W"le., I muat differ with many of ii); I, fiiendsas to reading papers, for I read all, ni matter what they are, frolll the Police Gazette to the Graphic and Illustrated London. By so doing I am able to glean information from dif ferent sources, nnd to form my own opinion, as I said befoie, on matters in general. If my ol i comradeA in South Wales would read a little Inor. and think independently for theinselver., the* would surely tind it beneficial in the long run In such an age of reform we expect a good deai from our reformers, and if we do not get tlo, blessings of reform in it practical sense we must by all means lack confidence in our leaders. W. have representatives in the House of Commons fooin Glamorgan and other counties in South WIII., but may I ask anyone what benefit has Ih- working community in general derived frold then representation'(* I could |>oitit to a go >d deal of bu,gli.g and inconsinltmey, l??'t I have seen nothing in a direct way for Iho benefit of th, public at large. The Hcv. H,,b Stowed! Brown say* that plain talk goes a long way to explain matters in their proper form. If we hao, more plain talk, both in public and in private, if may be that we would get less bungling both in and out of Parliament. When a man it sent to Pa.rlh&1ntlllt by a mining and iron working c »n- stituency he is not sent there as a mute or dummy, but to ttudy the interests of his con- svituants and if lie does not uttdvi-Atanti t tit wants of the people why should he at>k to be elected ? If iii.- working men of Gl>imorgan and otlior counties in Wales are blind to their own interests how can they expect th ir M.P.'s let be different? When the blind takes to lead the blind it may he that both will fall into he 1¡h'h, ,,h,w- seen happen more than once within Ihe I"s' 30 years in South \lIleø,1 I must admit U""t I am a Radical on many pO,"IO. but I must say this, that I am not such" Radical as to believe that every Radical is infallible, for I find that I h", e is good and bad among all classe- and in every shade of creed or politics. 1 have at all times acted according to my own views, and given lilY support to the best 111 in. let hilll be what lie will politically or rehgi >usiy.

AN INTEltVIKW WITH EMILE ZOLA. I [FROM, OUlt PARIS CORHESPONDKNT.l Your readers would like to know something about me, seeing that you are going to publish my new novel—* Germinal/ Well, tell them what you know yourself, and if you wish to institute any comparisons between the writer who Is going to endeavour to Interest them for some montlis to mme and those whom they are likely to know best, tell them this: I have not a grain, perhaps, of the genius of their own Swift, not a thousandth part of the humour of their Oliver Goldsmith, not a millionth part of the learning of their Samuel Johnson, but 1 have seen much blacker misery and privation than the whole three together. Like to the authors of I (iulliver's Travels' and 6 Tim Vicar of Wakefield,' the University authorities refused me my degree. Not- did they even bestow it upon me as it favour, all they did in tlie case of the future Dean of St. Patrick. Like the author of ♦ The Lives of the Poets/1 have been without shoes, tliough again in my case no one had tho kindness to put a decent pair at uiy door. I Iiave oeen obliged to pawn the only coat I possessed, ind to come back in my shirt sleeves, though it was in the depth of winter. I have lived for itiontlisand monlhs on three sous of bread and cheese a day, not countiug the days when there was neither the one nor the other. But I never lost courage; I never put the blame "I my hardships upon anyone, not even upon myself.

My U,,?t known work in England is perhaps .)L'A because the late Mr.Citarles Keade's drama, Drink,* was founded upon my own, and the novel was very good workmanship."
