tt 15 —aaaa—WI'—I MUMMMWKOTCBHCPWWW—A SATURDAY, JUNE 29, 1895, THE WEEK. 0 Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone arrived ill London on Monday afternoon. The Royal Agricultural Society opened its fifty-second annual exhibition oil Mondav at Darlington. The MILLIE'9-JALL of Patna HAS shot his wife killing her 10 the spot. He subsequently committed suicide. The marriag-e of the Princess Helene 1 f Organs with the Duo d'Aoa.sta tooK place at Kingston on Tutsday. The outbreak of disturbances in Mace- donia and fighting between the insurgents and the Turkish troops are now confirmed. Mr. John Redmond, has announced that it is thei settled and deliberate intention of the ParneHites to contest every constituency in Ireland at the approaching election. It is reported to have been definitely decided that the first race for the America Cup shall take place. on September 14. subse- quent contests taking place on alternate days from that date. In consequence of the developments which have taken place in the political situation, Lord Salisbury was unable to fulfil the engagement into which he had entered to address A Unionist nia*S MET TIIIFF at Portsmouth on Tuesday night. At a "p' Ai-I meeting of the Cardiff t: )Uutv Council held on Monday the proposr 1"),1 3^' "econd police-court for the borough cussed, and it was eventual y decided to refer the mattt-r to a special committee. Sever;)! vessels have stranded 'uink. at- tempting to pose t&rougii the Baltic Cmzl, The fund for the relief of SUFFERERS by the Liberator faifores has now reached £ 54,@00. Mr. George Smith, of Coalville, died on Friday night week, and Mr. Hy. Moore, R.A., on Saturday. Reports stating that the sanitary condi- tion of the French troops is deplorable have been received from Madagascar. and extensive dredging will have to be under- taken to make the passage of the canal thoroughly practicable. The Showaris, near Migra, are reported to be designing an attack on the camps formed by the Chitral expedition. It is stated to be an open secret that Lord Rosebery is the anonymous donor of the necessary funds for the Cromwell statue. It is understood that the Prince of Wales will hold a review of the combined British and Italian fleets at Spithead on July 13. The cr>.FILING ceremony of the many func- tions attending the opening of the Baltic Canal took place on Friday at Holtenan, when the last stone of the great undertaking was laid. The Glamorganshire Arizes were opened at Swansea on Saturday before Mr. Justice Lawrunee. In the Browett v. Humber breach of promise C8-1"e the plaintiff was awarded £75 damages. Robert Hudson was brought before Lord I r/ei.sliam at Helmsiey Police-court on Fri- d-a; week. The crowd fought their way to out,-IO. admission. After evidence of the arr«U\ the prisoner WAS remanded. Mr. Storey, M.P. for Sunderland, has decided to retire from Parliament at the earliest moment. He L" said to be acting under medical advice. The Liberal majority at the last election was 1,160. Advices received by the New York "Courier" from Deming, New Mexico, gives particulars of a. murderous attack made by the Yaque Indians on white men, eight of whom were killed. IS is reported from vicuna, that the rumours to the elftct that the Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha intended resigning in favour of his son and retiring from public i'te, in order to live in ENGLAND, are again current, and find; much credence among well-informed circles in the Austrian capital. In the Queen's Bench on Monday a rule nisi was granted against Mr. W. T. Stead and li is colleagues in regard to an article published in the "Review of Reviews" in reference to Jabez Balfour and certain other Liberator defendants. Monday next was fixed for the hearing. The Exchange Telegraph Company says it is stated among Army officials that Lord Wolesley will probably be the new Com- mander-in-chief and the Duke of Connaught Adjutant-general in place of Sir Redvers Buller, who will take over the command at Aldershot. It is also stated that Lord Roberts will succeed Lord Woiseley in the command in Ireland. The "Irish Catholio" of Satuixiay contains a statement declaring the correctness of the rumour that Mr. Gladstone will return to the House of Commons, and adds that he will lead the Liberal party at the coming general election. The object of Mr. Glad- stone's return to publio life is stated to be the carrying of Home Rule and the settle- ment for ever of the national quarrel between England and Ireland. Considerable excitement has been caused at Derby by certain PASSAGES in Sir William Har- court's SPEECH on Monday night in the House of Commons, which were HELD to foreshadow his retirement into private life. Tne fears of his supporters, however, were allayed on Tues- day evening by the publication of a. letter from Sir William, in which he says :—"There is no truth in the reports current htet night and this morning. I am prepared to fisrht and will Derby on the old platform. Representatives of the Welsh National Federation and the South Wales Liberal Federation met at a round-table conference at Llandrindod on Saturday with the object of arranging the compromise which both gides have for weeks been declaring they desirtd, when, after some three hours' talk, a practical resolution seemed as far off as ever, Mr. W. Brace stepped forward, and the truce was arranged. A final "national" convention is to be held at Llandrindod at the end of August. In the Divorce Division on Friday week (be- fore the president) the cast of Cory v. Cory came on for hearing. It was a suit for judicial separation, and had been set down for trial by a. special jury. Counsel for the petitioner (.\±rs. Clifford Cory), however, stated, on the calling of the case, that, "after serious consideration and consultation with our client, we have determined not to offer any evidence in support of the petition." Mr. Cory having- subsequently entered the witness-box and declared that never at any time had he been guilty of cruelty towards his wife. the case was concluded, the peti- tioner, who has a separate income, paying her own costs. Telegraphing late, the Press. Association ;fcates, on authority, that although no definite iMnouncement of the fact will be issued before the two Houses of Pariiamet.t meet to-day (Monday), Lord Rosebery's audience with the Queen undoubtedly set the seal upon the tentative determination of the Cabinet not to carry on the Government of the country. The intimation wa.s conveyed to the representative of the Press Association in the following terse, but significant authorised pronouncement: — '"XFhe Queen has sent Sir Arthur Biggs for Lord Salisbury, and from that fact you may draw your own conclusions." The conclu- sion is quite obvious, and the point which will now principally concern politicians is the date of the approaching general election. On the assumption that the new Premier will not practically begin his term of office untd there has been a dissolution, it is expected that a fortnight will be required to wind up the necitisary routine business of the session, and that the dissolution will occur early in July. In view of the fa,ct that there is now no chance of passing the Irish Land Bill, to which the Nationalists attach special importance, peculiar interest is taken in the Cork election, fixed for Thursday next. In the House of Commons on Friday week in answer to a question by Mr. Pritchard Mor- gan, Sir William Harcourt said lie had sctii the CI jmmkssioner of Woods and Forests, and told him lie would be very pleased to assiet in securing some experienced person to in- vestigate the whole subject of the gold pro- duction of Wales, which was obviously becoming a matter of considerable impor- tance. Subsequently, on the House going into Committee of Supply on the Army Estimates, Mr. Canipbell-Bannerman (Secre- tary for War) announced that the Duke of Cambridge would at the close of the Army year, in October, resign the office of Com- mander-in-Chief. The Hon. St. John Brodriek afterwards moved the reduction by £ 100 of the salary of the Secretary for War to mark the dissatisfaction of the House with the provision of small-arm ammuni- tion. Notwithstanding an explanation by Mr. Woodall (the Financial Secretary to the War Office), who claimed that there was no ca.use for alarm, the House carried the reduction by a. majority of seven. Lord Ko-eberv. who visited the Oueen after Saturday's Oabinet meetings, tendered his resignation to her Majesty, who accepted it AND sent for Lord Salisbury. Lord Salisbury H<IS ACCEPTED office for the purpose of wiwflng UP THE session AND arranging for an early appeal to the country.

T&; amiable individuals who met at on Saturday to arrange a modus vivendi between the rival Welsh Radical Fede- r,,ttionx,ii ill realise to-day that they have only their toil for their pains. It was matter of common remark th« £ a dissolution would ME&A the POSTAAUEMENI of their plans sine die. The dissolution is A fact in «sse, and thsa poabilit,y is that, with TIE return of a Unionist Government to power, several years will elapse before the need for the embryonic Welsh National Council will be apparent. We only refer to the matter here in order to point out how wide of the fact was the chairman's declaration that on the Disestablishment question all Wales IS in accord. It is probable that on no question is the Radical camp in Wales more divided. North Wales desires the localisation of tithes; South Wales is supposed—Merthyr notwithstanding—to favour their nationalisa- tion. Mr. Lloyd-George wants, and Mr. Asquitli concedes, A national council for the administration of Church property, and other Welsh members, eaten out with jealousy, hoot at Mr. Asquith for granting the con- cession. But what boots it? We shall pro- bably hear no more of the subject in Par- liament for a decade! Mr. Pritchard Morgan, like Cæsar on a famous occasiun, came, saw, and conquered at Merthyr on Saturday night. The event was a fresh move in politics, and very likely will be repeated when two of a trade in a con- stituency fail to see eye to eye. "What shall we do with this obstreperous youth you people of Merthyr have sent up to I arlíal- mentqueried the Nuncio of the Welsh party of his constituents in tremulous tones. "We can't manage him. The law will not permit us to place him in a padded room, in a political sense, of course, NMt go to .Jericho until he develops beard and wits lie will not." Then Mr. Morgan rehearsed the sorrowful tale of all the naughtiness of the young scapegrace who sits as his colleague for Merthyr. It was criminal, and never did an advocate piace before a jury such a damning indictment. Disestablishment was in danger. Mr. D. A. Thomas's mandril was laid at the roots of the Ministry. Mr. Pritchard Morgan pleaded long and pleaded hard, and at length carried' his point, lie returned armed WITH ali the terrors of a resolution which would place an effective muzzle on Mr. D. A. Thomas's mouth during the rest of his Disestablishment days. Mr. D. A. Thomas, of course, will not 1),ird for takit thank Mr. Pritchard Morgan, for taking such interest in his salvation. Neither would we ourselves. His work was that of a tale- bearer, which, if a third form schoolboy were guilty of, would bring him a sound thrash- ing. Three years ago Mr. Pritchard Morgan 1 11 1 himself was the most obstreperous of candi- dates, riding rough-shod over the feelings of the Merthyr Caucus and all. Now lie has developed constitutional regard all at once, and comes to consult that very Caucus at which he snapped his lingers in the last election. Though the Gladstonians entered upon office with the avowed promise to promote Irish legislation, they make their exit without per- forming anything to ameliorate the lot of Ireland. In fact, they leave it in a much worse plight than they found it three years UK.O. Agrarian outrages are greatly on the increase in several cornties. We shall jus; mfntion a few from a much longer list. On the 11th inst a house, the property of Mrs. O'Keeffe. Loughanstown, near Rathowen, was maLciously burned down. A labourer named Farelly had recently been evicted from the building. On the 15th inst. a mare, the property of a farmer named M'Mahon, of UGG'-H'II, Tulla, Co. Clare, was shot by moon. lighters. He had sent it in charge of a man who had made himiself obnoxious by taking a surrendered farm in the locality. On the 14th inst. the house of a man named O'Neill, of Freydagh, Tulla, Co. Clare, occupied by a man named Frost, was maliciously burned down, On the 17th inst. a valuable colt, belonging, to Mr. James Culligan, Caher- shaughnessy, Co. Clare, was found with one of its forelegs maliciously broken. On the 17th inst. a house in Caherhennessy. belonging to Mr. John Kennedy, Kihiamona, Ballingarry, Co. Limerick, was maliciously burned to the ground. On the 15th inst. a, quantity of hay, belonging to Mrs. Bowen, near Baliingarrv, was maliciously burned. On the 17th iust.- Dr. Foley Brew, Ennistymon, Co. Clare, was fired at on his way to Ruan Fair. Dr. Brew had received some annoyance before this. The tails of seven of his bullocks were cut off in 1880, and in 1893 a rick of hay was maliciously burned. These outrages were attributed to his having purchased the farm of Glencolumbkille, but it was thought the ill-feeling had died out. Four of the Mas*ereene evicted tenants—Patrick Lawle s, Matthew Downey, Patrick Tierney, and Ja.s. Matthews—have been summoned on a charge of intimidating and threatening some of the new tenants, or "planters," on the 13th of May la-st. This is a pretty long list, all occurring within less than a week. And, while they show the terrib!e state in which Ireland is, they fully establish the inefficiency of Mr. John Morley as Irish Secretary. The promptness and facility with which political leaders and politics are changed in England are matters of surprise, not uu- mmgled with admiration, mother countries. A New York correspondent draws atttention to the Strang contrast between cur methods and tiiose in vogue in that country. In the States the most unaccountable and absurd delays occur. For instance, the Congress which was selected in 1334, when the Tariff was upper- mo.-t, will not legislate until 1896, when silver will be the chief question. The incongruity, adds the correspondent, will soon be repeated, for the Congress to he elected during the financial ampaign of 1896 will not assemble until 1898. After all, the race is not always for Republics, nor the battle for Democratic Governments. At the East Glamorganshire Baptist Asso- ciation, held in Cardiff on Tuesday, a resolu- tion of a somewhat novel kind was passed which enables us to get a peep into the internal working of the denomination. Like the Congregationalists, the past—and, indeed, present—history of the Welsh Baptists is marked by many disputes and squabbles, or, to borrow a term from trade, strikes. They were events, however, which have not been wholly unprofitable, for they proved a considerable help to the denomination to increase and multiply. Of late years, pre- sumably, these internecine strikes have become quite a feature of the denomination. In fact, they have come to be looked upon as an institution, as part and parcel of the denomination's life and constitution, so much so that the Baptists yesterday appointed a standing committee to deal with them. This committee 'will not find its office a sinecure, for even now there is a goodly num- ber of cases awaiting a settlement. We venture to think that the East Glamorgan Baptists would have been wiser ifthey peti- tioned the Government for the creation of a Department of State dealing with Noncon- formist squabbles. A prominent Welsh Nationalist advocates the appointment of a minister of Education for Wales. Such a functionary might, no doubt, produce much good, but there is more urgent need for the ap- pointment of a Minister for Welsh Dissenters' squabbles. Moreover, while the office would eminently serve its. purpose, it would be a ueeided step in the direction of Welsh Home iuile. We commend the idea to the notice of Mr. Lloyd-George, who is himself, we believe, A prominent member of the Welsh Baptissts. But. probably, Mr. George would prefer dealing with those squabbles by creat- in a Wel h national council.

MARRIAGE OF THE DU, 1 D'AOSTA TO THE COUNTESS OF PARIS'S DAUGHTER. A Kingston correspondent telegraphed 40 Tuesday :—This historical riverside town thronged with visitors to-day desirous seeing as much as sightseers could of the marriage of the Princess Helene of Orlen8' and the Due D'Oata. A large number OI FK-endh and Itafiiams were anion G-ST ihos* who arrived. Deoorabions were plentiful the principal thoroughfares, an ARC^ with the words, "Welcome to Kingston, being erected a short distance from the church of St. Raphael, where the marriage was solemnised. The Duke of Orleans, SHOWING traces of his recent accident, was the first ROYAI arrival, and was carried in'to the church on ¡ill invalid's eliair. The Duke DAosta WAS A11 early arrival, having driven over from Surbit°??> where he -ad been staying. He was HEARTILY t ch( ered by the comparatively few who recog" nised him. Sir Frederick Leighton drove alone from the station, and was not rec.,>gnised» but he was closely followed by the Duke al1 Dnoliesa of Teck, who, of course* 51 well kfl.own to the inhabitants, who wero received with ringing cheers- Then came a long interval. Parasols of gily colours added to the brightness of the z3cellcl as the refreshing breezes from the Th<<.TnCSt which lay like a sheet of silver between tbe green banks, were not sufficient to parry TH* fierce rays of the sun. Shortly before half" past ten the Prince and Princess of arrived at Kingston Station. They received a right royal welcome, which was sustained 80S they drove to the church, about a mile awaY', Their itoyal Highnesses suitably acknowledgëà the greetings of the multitude. With tbe Royal procession were the Duke and DuchesS of Coburg, the Duke and Duchess of Con- naught, and the Duke of Cambridge, all Of whom were loudly cheered. Then CAFF10 another interval, and everyone was on the hP- toe in expectation to see the bride. At a quarter to eleven, the Princess, who, with HEI mother, occupied a closed carriage, CROSSED Kingston Bridge and entered the borough. Again cheer aiter cheer rent the air. THE bride and her mother were naturally BOW affected by the hearty welcome. Throughout the entire route the cheers were kept up, ur.t_u the charming young Princess entered the little church, which fvas hfdden by summer foliige, and where her parents were married many YEAR;* ago. The church was beautifully decorated with magnificent flowers and towering palinS and ferns. The service lasted "ather more THAN half an hour. The newly-married pair were, Of course, the first to drive away from the church) but disappointment was general on ACCOUNT of their choosing a closed carriage. ENGLISH and foreign Royalties and other guests so<'N followed, and drove to Orleans House, Twicken- ham, where the wedding breakfast was pro- vided. The Comtesse de Paris wrote to the Kingston local authorities thanking them the preparations they had made in honour her daughter's wedding, and stating that qb3 and her daughter were profoundly touched.

FRANCE AND MADAGASCAR. DEPLORABLE CONDITION OF FRFNCiEl TROOPS. A Dalziel's telegram from Paris says:7"" The Paris correspoTident ot the "Debate," writ- ing from Majunga, at the end of May, SAY3 there were 350 men in hospital and ma-ny mofe coming in, on account of the difficulty of per- suadlmg the troops to exercise reasonable prE' cautions to keep tliem in a state of health. TH0 medical diepartmeut was working very BADLY* the ::tonk of medicines being quite insufficient- Tlie river gunboats, from which so much VVOS expected, are entirely useless, in CONSEQUENT0 of the impossibility of PUTTING them together time, while the special transport carte, wIncb were provided and sent out at a cost of fonT million francs, had to be discarded as <111* serviceable for the country. Another REP^1 sovs that at Tamatave the condition of T«E troops was deplorable, and that out of 800 only about 150 were fit for duty. On the other hand, the "Eclair" asserts that all these mistic reports are incorrect, and that the sani- tary condition of the men is everywhere good.

THE CUBAN REVOLT. MARSHALL CAMPO S SON KILLED. A Reuter's telegram from New York says A telegram received hero from Tampa, a revo- lutionary headquarters, states that, according mail advices from Havannah, Captain CamPOS son of Marshal Martinez Campos, was KILLED HY the insurgents at Coalitas, Santiago, on Thurs- day last. AN engagement took place on nesday at Las Villas, in which the SPAN18 troops arc reported to have lost 70 men.

A Central News telegram from l'üUg,J¡- keepsie, dated Monday night, triangular race of four miles, between èlg d representmg the Cornell, Pennsylvania, Z111 G Columbia Universities, took place off. thas evening, and resulted in a clever VICTORY for the Columbia crew. Just at the menceinenit of the final struggle between FJ' leaders, the Pennsylvania boat, which, JJK, the others, was a paper shell, suddenly FI'IE and sank.
