MR BRIGHT ON FREE TRADE. I
MR BRIGHT ON FREE TRADE. I Mr Bright, writing to a Glasgow correspondent, denies the statement recently made that Mr CJb- den and himself had predicted that in ten years after the introduction of Free Trade the hole world would follow our example, and that If not there would be good reason to reconsider the question. He characterised the latter portion of the statement to be in the last degree absurd as no man who knew anything about the question could possibly have said so 1* ridiculous and childish. ■ree trade gave us freedom to buy, increased our ^ying, and consequently our soiling, in spite of the hindrance of foreign tariffs. The reason other lotions kept up their high tariffs was that protec- tionists were an organised army, while consumers Were a mob. The refusal of the United States Protectionists to le-sseu their protection was prompting a system of corruption unequalled in any other country. He advises the electors to I read Sir Thomas Farrer's book, Free Trade \'er,u Fair Trade."

Whom did they belong to?—The Chairman: To me. -Mr Richards asked what business they j^d there ? They were eating the ratepayers ood. — The Chairman That is a lie. Rave the farmer money to keep them, and I *)lade a present of two of them to the Union.—Mr *chards If I kept geese there, yuu would be the first to put a stop to it.—After some further tf,ttiaiks from Mr D. Davies (Glebeland-street), ^ho thought it really was expedient to discontinue the farm, the matter dropped.
BETTING IN FRANCE. I
BETTING IN FRANCE. I Racing in France is passing, says Galignani, through a serious crisis. The societies, not satis- fied with the difficulties created by the Govern- ment, are themselves entering on a course of in- tolerance towards the smaller associations. The Steeplechase Society, in a sitting on the committe just held, definitely de- cided on suppressing the grants, amount- ing to 300,000 francs a year, to the provincial meet- lnKs. This measure is excusable, as the society is \\nder the necessity of practising economy now tlta. itA receipts are diminished by one-half by the abstention of the pn blic; but the same excuse found for it4 resolution to refuse to pub- hh in its Bulletin, Cfficiel, after th,:> 25th July, programmes of the societies which derive a profit from the races as a compensation for the they incur. The object of the refusal is to tîea.¡e a monopoly by bringing about the closing (¡f the suburban meetings, as the noh.publication (If their programmes would involve the inter- action at Auteuil of all the horses which run at the other meetings. In the meantime neither the "ck-^y Ciub nor the Steeplechase Society is taking I &.IY steps to organise mutual betting, each waiting for the other tc begin.
The Threatened Crisis.I
The Threatened Crisis. I GERMANY OFFERS EXPLANA- TION. [CENTRAL XEWS TELEGRAM.] PARIS, Saturday.—The Matin this morning states that the Charge d'Affaires of the German Embassy at Paris, had an interview with M. Flourens at the Foreign Office yesterday, when he informed the latter, on behalf of the German Government, that the arrest of M. Schnaebell was made in virtue of a judgment by default pronounced against him by the Leipzig court on a charge of induc- ing German recruits from Alsace and Lor- raine to desert, and of exciting them to acts of desertion. These offences the German representative contends took place on German territory, but if the inquiry now pending proves the contrary, and that a violation of French territory took place, he assured M. Flourens that his Government would lose no time in making atnpie reparation in accordance with the prescrip- tions of international law. The other morning papers discuss the affa.r in the same moderate language as yesterday. PARIS, Saturday.—M. Flourens received another visit this morning from the German Charge d'Affairs, who repeated, on behalf of his Government, the explanations given yesterday concerning M. Schuaebeil's arrest, aud informed the French Premier that the inquiry instituted by the German Government into the matter was not yet concluded. I French Papers on the Incident. I I RF.UT,ER*S TJiLHGRAM. j PARIS, Saturday.—The JRepublique Franchise, to-day, states that in a despatch communicated to M. Flourens by the German Charge d'Affaire?, Prince Bismarck admits that if M. Schnaebell was arrested oil French territory the principles of international law would require his immediate release. This morning's papers continue to advise the public to remain quiet, stating that the Government must be left to take the necessary action in the matter. German Press Opinions. BERLIN, Saturday.—Commenting upon M. Schnaebell's arrest the National Ztitling this morning says :—We adhere to the view that thers exists no ground for auxiety, being convinced that the German Government would neither order nor approve anything that would not be in conformity with international law. It is well known that the German Government has on several occasions let French spies go. It is, therefore, high/y improb- able that M. Schnaebell, as asserted by French papers, was decoyed from French territory in order that he might be seized upon by the German authorities. The Norddentscke Zcitung says :—M. Schnaebell was arrested on the warrant of a German was arrested on the warrant of a German examining magistrate, which charges him with I complicity with treasonable practices. Feeling in Vienna. ["DAILY NEWS" TELEGRAM,] I VIENNA, Friday night.—Tueopimon here hourly grows stronger that theSchnebèll affair may lead to very serious complications. It is pointed out that whereas formerly there was nothing tangible to go upon, that now an actual incident has arisen which it may be most difficult to settle amicably in the present strained relations existing between France and Germany. The fact is also com- mented upon that in the French accounts of the affair no mention is made of any fault on the part of Schnaebell, while the Germans admit they may have been wrong technically, but say that the French have acted in an unfriendly spirit Anxiety in Rome. I I" DAILY NEWd TELlitiiiAM.] I ROME, Friday.—The news of the arrest of Schnaebell is. much commented upon by the Press, and has again awakened fears lest peace may be disturbed, It i, however, the general belief and hope that the incident will have no further con- sequences. Still much anxiety is expressed at the tension between France and Germany and the uncertainty of the political situation. The Bourse has been affected by the incident, and prices have fallen considerably. The English Stock Exchange. 0- The Press Association says :—The Siock Ex- change continues somewhat unsettled to-day. Foreign bonds are generally rather firmer ou higher quotations from Paris yesterday evening. Home Railways are fiat. Consols a shade better. Another German Version. [CENTRAL NEWS TELEGRAM. I I BERLIN, Saturday Moriiiiig.-It has now been I ascertained on indisputable authority that M. Schnaebell was arrested upon German oil. The German authorities have lJlOJt detinite informa- tion that this man had been engaged in corrupting the newly enrolled recruits that he had tried to stir up revolt; and that he had frequently crossed the frontier into Lorraine, and made secret visits to Metz, for more than a month past. A strict watch has been kept upon his movements, and the case against him was complete before a warrant was issued. He is still kept in strict confinement in Metz, Notwithstanding the growing excitement in Paris, the almost universal belief here is that peace will be maintained. No Serious Apprehensions. I | HFX'TKIVS TKLKGKAM. 1 I VIENNA, Saturday.—It is said that the repre- atives of some of the Powers at Berlin have stated that the affair of M.

THE STRATHALLAN INQUIRY. PROM OCR SWANSEA REPORTER.] The inquiry into the circumstances attending the I fatal collision between the steamships Adara and Strathallan off Penarth, on March 29tb, was resumed at Swan- sea to-day. Captain Hook, of the Adara, described the position of the Adara and two other vessels at anchor in the Roads, and said the Strath- allan could not have parsed a barque, in the mode it was alleged to have been passed,before reaching the Adara. Had the Strathallaa continued on the port helm, instead of starboarding, she would have cleared the bow of the Adara. When Captain Park w"s saved, he told Mr Beor he did not know how the collision occurred. In reply to the question from witness as to how Park got across the bow of the Adara, ho said, I saw your light, but I could not get clear of you." Later on he said, "I think your light must be defective."

TH.E COLONE- LITTLE JOKE. The Birmingham Post aiks: -What is the I meaning of the following paragraph, which was published yesterday?—" Colonel Saunderson has allowed it to b'come known that he is to be found at home during certain hours of the day, if any person should desire to communicate with him in A hostile spirit in respect of his allegations against the Nationalist members." Perhaps, though, it is onlv the Colonel's little joke.

Many vague rumours are circulating on the irontier of a great coalition of Ghiizriis, but nothing definite is known. The viceroy and General Roberts will meet at Simla. to-morrow. There is no truth in the report that the brigades have besti warned for service at Kandahar. — 3

Sir W. Harcourt and the Forged Letter. It having been stated that Sir William Har- court knew that the letter which the Times alleges to have been autographed by Mr Painell was intercepted ad the Post Office, and placed in the archives of the Home Office when he was Home Secretary. A Leedj gentleman wrote to Sir William upon the matter, and received the following reply "7, Grafton-street, April 21st. "Dear Sir,—The statement which you enclose to me from the Yorkshire Post is a deliberate and malignant fabrication. Titere is not a syllable of truth in ic, as the writer nry weii knows. You will see in the Daily News of to-day the contradic- tion which I made of this statement in my speech at Shoreditcb last night. It is a melancholy illustration of the degradation to which a certain section of the press has descended that it should suppose its course is best served by mendacity of this description.—Yours faithfully, 11 W. V. HARCOURT."

THE COMING SHOWER OF HONOURS,
THE COMING SHOWER OF HONOURS, It has been understood that the Queen's Jubilee would be made the occasion of conferring on a considerable number of S:ate officers various Orders and distinctions. A list, comprising about 30 names, will in a few days be submitted to her Majesty as a first instalment. It is, the London correspondent of the Manchester Guardian beheves, intended that the announcement of these honours shall be made on the day of the anniver- sary of Ae accession, and not on her Majesty's birthday, as is usual in the case ot the small annual batch of honours. The list of names ultimately to be accepted by the Queen will no doubt be a very fong one, for the official view at the Privy Council is that it must include not only men in all the services under the Crown, but dis- tinguished persons in science, art, and literature.

SPORTING ITEMS.
SPORTING ITEMS. Whistle Jacket is reported lame. '1 Mr Benzone has purchased Dalesman for BIG and Dunbridge for JB500. It has been whispered that Porcelain is far above the common. Leeds, who, until Thursday, had not run since, 1885, has entirely lost his form, and although he finished third, he never threatened danger to tha horses in front of him. The resurrection of Eglamore in the Two Thousand market is due to ft home gallop with Castor last Saturday, in which, it is said, "Jack was as good as his master." The tactics pursued with Hungarian at San-' down Park were disastrous. The Esher Stakes appeared at his mercy, but instead of going for the "certainty," he tried to win the Spring Cup, in which Nautilus trod his heels off and defeated him easily. Anarch's display at Sandown Park was mar- vellous. He could readily have conceded Mon Droit another 101b, and it is a positive misfortune for General Pearson that Anarch was not entered for the Two Thousand or Derby. The present season has brought out two deter- mined plungers, who speculate thousands as if they had no value beyond the mere name. Both were present at Sandown Park this week, where the wagering has been very heavy. Those who are backing Harpenden for the Kempton Park Jubilee Stakes should use a little wholesome caution, seeing what successively hap- pened to Le Caissier, Harpenden, and Saraband in the City and Suburban. Moreover, if seen at the post, the odds against Harpenden are likely to be more liberal than they are at the present time. H.R.H. the Prince of Wales was again pre- sent at Sandown Park yesterday, and ran his mare Coquette in the Weybridge Hunters' Steeplechase. She could not act well on tbe hard ground, however, and one of her legs having given way, Arthur Hall stopped her two fences from the finish. Coquette will now be sent to Sand- ringham to be put to the stud. A gang of thieves seem to have visited Ponte- fract Races. On the arrival of a train from Man- chester a gentleman was robbed of his watch. The thief was secured by the police and hand- cuffed, but a gang of some thirty confederates rescued hini, and he is still at large. Another case occurred in the betting-ring, where a lady was robbed of her watch, aud numerous other cases of robbery and the passiug of bad money have been reported to the police. Yet another version of the ownership of The Baron. A London contemporary says:—It is now stated that the Baron is the property of Mr Vigers, a young gentleman very well known in society, whose wife is to be seen with him at all the smart race meetings. Mr Vigers is an inti- mate personal triead of Mr Burdett-Coutts, who is no more closely connected with The Baron than the fact that he was interested iu the liorseet christening. A London correspondent {says Sir John Astley has been appointed secretary and manager of the Kempton Park Club. With a noble lord, the brother of a marquis, starter on the turf, and with the brother-in-law of a duchess manager of the Sandown Racing Club, it is only fit and proper that Kempton should have a baronet at its head. Jolly Sir John will make the most popular of managers. The post was vacated by Mr Seymour Portman, nephew of Lord Foreman, who, through his wife, liq, succeeded to considerable landed property in Lincolnshire. Turner, of New Soutli Wales, has the splendid bowling aver a ge of 6'42 for 52 wickets against the Englishmen in the eleven a-s dc matches played during their tour in the Australian colonies. Turner has in every match been more or lesi assisted by the wicket, and there is no doubt that he is a wonderful bowler on a wicket which will help him at all. Only once he bowled on a really good wicket against the Englishmen, and that was for Eighteen of Bathurst, when lie took three wickets for 93 runs. Against the crack English batsman, Shrewsbury, the young Sidlleyit has be^n particularly successful, having captured his wicket no less than six times in ten innings, four times clean bowling him.

TQ-DAY'S POLICE, f I NEWPORT (COUNTY.) I ROBBING A ERIKXD AT RISCA.—At Newport county jJ"ll¡;e-ev\1l'c. this Mr Thomas Cordes and tiiree other m;\g.sr.rates- Catherine Deneen, married woman, was charged with stealing a siiver watch and guard from the house of James George, coliier, at Risca, on the 15t.h inst. The property, which belonged to Thomas George, son of the householder, was hang- ing by the fireplace on the afternoon of the day named. Prisoner, who was acquainted with Mrs George, went to tiie house, and was provided with a cup of tea, and enjoyed a friendly chat. Whilst Mrs George was throwing away the tea- slops in the backyard, the prisoner abused the confidence reposed in her, and stole the watch v and guard, which were valued at JB2 10s. She pledged the articles the same evening at the shop of Mr Myers, pawnbroker, Dock-street, Newport, for 12<, and gave the surname of Evans instead of her own,-Prisoner now pleaded^ guilty, and said she was in drink < at the time, or she would not have done it.—P.S. Williams said that prisoner stole three other! articles at Risca on the 14th and 15th instant, and'" that she had been previously convicted for theft. —The Bench said the case was a bad one, and sentenced prisoner to six months' imprisonment. THE FAMOUS PLEA SCCCEEDS. William Williams, a white-haired countryman, 77 years of age, was summoned before the same court for stealing underwood at Llanmartin. On the 14th instant, Thomas Harrhy, the woodward, heard somebody plying the axe in Pool Head Wood, Llanmartin, and as defendant emerged from the wood with four 12-foot poles over his shoulder, he accosted him with Will'um. what are you going to do wich I they"'?- salutation which caused defendant to drop the poles and make off. —Joseph Handford, local agent to Mrs Percy' Herrick, the owner of the Llanmartin estate, said the value of the poles was about 2s, but the real point was the damage done to the wood. Hundreds of poles had been cut from it, and great g dilapidation caused. Defendant, following a well-known precedent, set up an alibi, and de- clared he was down near Redwick at the time ot the alleged occurrence, parting with friends.-The woodman, however, said be knew defendant.— When the officer went in search of defendant, he found that he had gone into the Newport Work- house. The reason for this was his 3 out-relief had been stopped.—The bench, in consideration, of defendant's age, simply ordered him to be I -c ii ted back to the Union by a police officer.

D V -7- T 1,0- 11 t D V E n TIS I N G J-OR A HUSBAND. Married After Fwo Days' Acquaintance. EXTRAORDINARY CASE. Yesterday ac How-street pOlice-court a respect, ably-dresned young woman applied to Mr Bridge for advice under extraordinary circumstances. Her story was very disjointed, but she was under- stood to say that she recently made the acquain- tance of a man, and he subsequently offered her marriage. She consented, and the ceremony took place on the 5h of last month. Her father died in January, 1836, and by the terms of his will she was entitled to upwards of S400 on the death of her mother. She died and applicant placed herself in communication with a solicitor at Winchester, who had charge of her fSairs. Her husband accompanied her to Winchester, and on receipt of her money she handed the whole amount over to him.—Mr Bridge: Why?—Applicant: Because be said what is mine is your, and what is yours is mine. Applicant went bp to say that her husband ex- pressed a wish to see Portsmouth Dockyard, as he had never been there. He took his departure, and it was arranged that they should met in three days at the Charing Cross Hotel. She arrived in due course, but could not find her husband, and had not seen him since. She had made inquiries, and it had been suggested to her that he had made over- ures with a view of marrying a lady at Norwich. She also found that he had gone by the overland route to Australia.—Mr Bridge read some corres- pondence, and advised applicant to consult her relations and make a further application at this Court.—Detective Nicholls was instructed to assist her, and accompanied her to her brother's. He, however, refused to have anything to do with the case, on the ground that he had cautioned her against the man before she was married. She had advertised in a matrimonial newspaper for a husband. The man had replied. They had not known each other for two days before they were married, and she had disposed of her home.—Mr Bridge directed the officer to record the facts.

RUSHING INTO THE LION'S DEN. At Southwark yesterday, Thomas Burrows, 36, a well-dressed man, who said be was a cooper, was charged with being drunk and disorderly outside the police-court. On Thursday afternoon the defendant came to the Court and applied for permission to swear an affidavit respecting the loss of a pawnbroker's duplicate. He was told by Constable Ford, one of the warrant officers of the Court, that he must come at half-past ten next morning. He then tried to force his way in, and was ejected. He returned soon after, and tried to get in through the solicitors' entrance. As he was under the influence of drink, and persisted in making a disturbance, he wis taken into custody. —The prisoner said if he had doue anything wrong he was very sorry.—Fined 5s., or five days' hard he was very sorry.—Fined 5s., or five days' hard labour.
