il is reported that a Glasgow tradesman is doing his utmost to solve the knotty pro- blem of finding work for the unem- ployed. Mr Walter Wilson, we are told, I as authorised the Charity Organisation Society to engage as many of the unemployed in Glasgow as they think fit, the number not to exceed two thousand. The men will be employed as sandwbh-men for live hours per day, and for this each man ill receive one shilling. On wet days, when no work can be done, the regular men will receive a half-day's pay. Mr Wilson also pays overseers, clerks, and others in charge. T was stated some timo since thaf-the British Government ititende(I to order a number of horses for cavalry service in her Majesty's regular army from Canada, and this announcement is now confirmed. The IDwrtnient of Agriculture at Ottawa has been communicated with by the War Office, and asked to ascertain how I many suitable horses could be pro- cured in the different provinces for this I special service. After making all necessary enquiries, the department, it has understood, has decided that some 700 can be supplied pearly. The War Odice has now sent out officers to choose the horses, and Dominion stock raisers who have the right kind of stock will be greatly benefited by this new and unexpected market open to them. ■ANOTHER interesting English mansion and 'estate is about to be disposed of by public auction. It is the famous Houghton Hall, the magnificent abode of Sir Robert Wal- pole, and now the seat of the Marquis of Cholmondeley, near East Reedham, in Nor- Jolk, and not far from Sandringham. Here, amidst the beautiful gardens and extensive plantations, the fallen Minister of George 71., opened the closing years of his life in the tranquillity and retirement to which he deferred when he said, My flatterers now are all mutes the oaks and beeches seem to contend which best shall please the lord of the manor but they cannot deceive they will not lie." The splendid collection of pictures at the hall was sold by his grandson in 1779 to Catherine Empress of Russia for £ 40,550. The property comprises, besides the ttaoftiou, which has been in great part rebuilt, and the gardens and old deer park, the surrounding estate, amounting to 10,500 acres, and including entire villages, valuable manors, and advowsons. MEMBERS of the Primrose League, it appears, are in sore difficulty and doubt as to the at- titude which they ought to assume during the present political crisis. A Ruling Councillor of the order sends a pathetic letter to a Conservative journal on the sub- ject. He writes "I wish to point out to the Grand Masters and Grand Council of the Primrose League how important and neces- sary it is that they should send clear and explicit instructions to everyone of the 1,500 habitations which are spread over England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales, as to how they should act in the coming election. Many habitations, to my personal knowledge, are just now in a state of divided opinion on this point. Some advocate entire absten- tion, others refuse to support any candidate who will not pledge himself to follow Lord Salisbury. All are anxiously awaiting advice from the very high and distinguished authorities on such matters to be found on the Grand Council of the League." It is clear that, if the Primrose League is to be- come a political power in the land, its lead- ing men must condescend to impart some little instruction to iu bewildered and benighted members. SOME curious information is supplied by a well-informed correspondent of the way in which Mr Gladstone sometimes prepares his manifestoes and draws up his bills. The Prime Minister, he says, penned his recent manifesto upon the Treasury bench, in his private room at the House of Commons, in the bustle of Downing-street, and even as he was driven to and from Palace Yard. The right lIon. gentleman built up the scheme of his Land Bill upon notepaper of different sizes upon some only a single sentence appeared upon others, again, there was a carefully elaborated clause, perfect in its proportions and con- struction, tit for the statute book. Some of the pages, on the other hand, bore traces of mental incertitude, being full of erasures, interlineation and marginal notes. The manuscript afterwards served Mr Glad- stone as the notes of his re- markable speech when revealing his proposals to Parliament. Perhaps some enthusiastic collectu- of curious manuscripts will secure, if possible, these interesting leaves and enshrine them. with other histori- cal documents, in some public place. The hon. gentleman to whom I am indebted for this description assured me they would be well worth preserving, and I should say they would, judging from independent know- ledge of them. Mr Gladstone's manifesto to the electors of Midlothian, or rather of the United Kingdom, has been composed more hurriedly than the measure for creating a statutory Parliament in Ireland, but, like the latter, the manuscript has been its author's constant companion. Upon sheets of Bath paper, upon half-pages of note paper, and upon the backs of envelopes this dramatic appeal to the nation has been composed.

-i- 1, The Suicide of the King) of Bavai'ia. MUNICH, Tuesday. Tha post-mortem examination which has been held upon the remains of the late King disclosed an abnormal structure of the skull, coupled with the existence of a degenerative process in the brain and its membranes, parbly due to chronic inflammation. The date of the funeral obsequies has not yet been fixed. The municipal authorities of the city were requested to wait this morning upon the Prince Regent. 7 P.M. The remains of King Louis are now lying in state in the Old Court Cbapel. To-morrow and two following days the public will be admitted to view the body between the hours of 8 a.m. and b p.m. The funeral will probably take place on Sunday. The Upper House of the Bavarian Parliament held a plenary sitting to-day, at which all the princes of blood royal, Prince Hohenlohc, the two Archbishops, Count Holnstein, and all the ministers with the exception of BaronCrailsheim, who was attending the post-mortem examination on the late King, were present. The proceedings, which were public, were opened by the President, Baron Frankenstein, who alluded in feeling terms to the tragic end of the king—the whole house while he was speaking remaining standing and perfectly silent. Baron Lutz, the Prime Minister, next spoke, and gave expression to the deep etcrrow felt by the Ministry at the sad event. The Minister then read a message from the Regent, in which he asked the House, in accordance with the laws of the State, to assent to the Regency, and commissioned the Ministers to communicate all information with regard to recent events to the Chambers. I Baron Lutz then proposed, in the name of the Ministry, that all the information obtained should be submitted to a committee sitting with closed doors.—Baron Frankenstem then proposed the appointment of a committee consisting of 12 members, at whose deliberations all the members of the Upper House might be present, but, as a matter of course, they would have to observe strict secrecy.—This proposal was unanimously agreed to, and it was also decided to leave the drawing up and reading of the report to the presidents of the committee.—The committee was then elected. Prince Luitpold has received telegrams of con- dolence from the Emperor William, all the reigning princes of Germany, the senates of the free towns, and many foreign potentates. COURT MOURNING IN ENGLAND. j It is officially notified that the British Court will go into mourning for three week* from the 16th inst. to July 7th, for the late King of Bavaria.

THE EXPULSION OF THE PRINCES. [REUTER"S TELEGRAM.] PARIS, Tuesday.—The Bureaux of the Senate to-day elected the committee to examine the Expulsion Bill. Six of its members, including M. Barthelemy St. Hilaire, are hostile to the measure, and only three in its favour. The voting in the Bureaux shows that there are 116 members against and 109 for the expulsion of the princes. Nevertheless, it is believed that the Senate will pass the bill by a narrow majority.

MR GLADSTONE'S JOURNEY TO SCOTLAND. [PRES ASSOCIATION I'LLEGBAIIS. I LONDON, TI isday Evening. It is now definitely settled tlist Mr Gladstone will travel to Scotland by the Midland line on Thursday, leaving- St. Pancras Station at 10.35 a.m., and arriving in 10 linbnrgh c-t 8.4-2. This train, which is known as the Scotch express, comprises f. Pullman parlour car, and will make its first stoppage at Leicester at 12.42. Trentis timed to be reached at 1.14 p.m.,Nornnu)- ton at 2,-O, where hklf-an-hour is allowed tor, dining; and Carlisle at 6.5 p.m. There has been a little more activity to-day at the headquarters of the various political organi- zations in London after a brief holiday during Monday, and many of the members of Parliament who are taking a prominent part in con- ducting the electoral campaign returned to ducting the electoral campaign returned to town to-day, while others will return to morrow. The filling up of the vacancies in the various can- didatures is being rapidly completed, and in addition to the Conservative and Ministerial lists there will be a considerable number of seats contested by the Liberal Unionists, whose com- mittee now includes 43 members of the House of Commons and 43 members of the liouse of Lord; while there are also on the committee 35 unsuc- cessful candidates at the last general election and 17 others who have sat in former Parliaments as Liberals. Among the recent additions to the committee are Mr Caveudisli Bentinck, Mr Montagu Guett, Mr Kaynsford Jack- son, Sir Win. Miller, and Mr C. M. Norwood. Colonel Campbell Walker, who contested Grimsby at the last general election in opposition to Mr Heneage, will shortly issue his address to the electors of Midlothian as a Conservative candidate in opposition to Mr Gladstone. Col. Walker, who was born near Dundee in 1834-, served with the Qaeen's Own Cameron Highlanders in the Crimea, and took part in. the Indian Mutiny. In his address he remarked that under ordinary circumstances the electors might with some justice have regarded his soliciting their suffrages in opposition to the Prime Minister as an act of presumption but the circumstances are of such an exceptional nature that they justify any Scotchman, however obscure his political status, in accepting the challenge which Mr Gladstone has thrown down.

MANIFESTO BY LIBERAL UNIONISTS. The following manifesto has been issued to the electors of Liverpool and district by Lord Derby and other Liberals, whose names are appended to it:— The House of Commons has, by a decisive vote, rejected the bill for the legislative and administra- tive separation of Ireland by the proposition by which the Liberal party has unfortunately been divided, and those who disapprove of the scheme have been condemned to a choice between allegiance to their leader or to their principles. In these circumstances hesitation is impossible, and it becomes the plain duty of those Liberals who look upon the Irish scheme as unjust and impracti- cable to unite in view of the impending dissolution for the purpose cf securing the ratification ot the decision of the House of Commons by the voice of the country. With this object an association has been formed under the name of the Liberal Unionist Association for Liverpool and the district, and we appeal to all Liberals who place patriotism and duty before all other considerations, for their support. In objecting to the scheme which has been proposed, we are encouraged by finding ourselves in accord with such tried and true Liberals as Mr Bright, Lord Kartington, Lord Selborne, Mr Chamberlain, Mr Goschen, Mr C. P. Villiers, Sir Henry James, Mr Trevelyan, Mr Jesse Collings, and many others, who, though not habitually taking part in political controversy, have thought it right to protest against what they consider to be an abandonment of the principles to which Liberals hav » been accustomed to appeal. We are not seceders from the Liberal party, but, on the contrary, we remain true to those princi- ples which are of its very essence. We desire the pacification and pros- perity of Ireland as well as the maintenance of the integrity and supremacy of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, but we hold that neither of these objects would be secured by the scheme which has been rejected, nor do we consider it consistent with justice either to Great Britain or to Ireland. This country is bound by ties of honour and duty to the loyal Irishmen, as well Catholic as Protestant, who protest against being cast off. To thrust these men against their will out of allegiance to the Imperial Parliament, under which they have been born and desire to continue, and it may be to be compelled to employ the armed forces of the Queen in coercing them, and to subject them to the rule of the men under whose guidance has arisen a system of illegal and cruel outrage and terrorism, is a course repug nant to the honour of Great Britain. What conti- dence can be placed in the justice of the rule of those who have founded the National League, and who, while claiming seif-government for themselves, would deny it to the inhabitants of Ulster ? and how long would the so-called safeguards of the rejected bill be allowed to con- tinue by a Parliament in Dublin and an executive appointed by and responsible to them ? If such a Parliament should disregard the alleged safeguards, what remedy would there be except that ot armed force, and is this the prospect of peace and reconciliation held out by the pro- moters of the bill ? Again, Mr Gladstone has said that this bill must necessarily be accompanied by another for the purchase of the estates of the landlords by the aid of the national resources. If, therefore, a majority were returned in favour of Mr Gladstone's schemes, the prospect we have before us is a measure bound in itself likely to be disastrous to Ireland and injurious to Great Britain, pregnant with danger of future strife and collision, and involving the expenditure of many millions of the hard-earned money of the tax- payers, already heavily burdened. To adopt all legal and constitutional means to secure the election of a House of Commons which will refuse to pass any bill or bills like the one so decisively rejected ought to be the duty of all who sympathise with the views we have expressed, and to carry out this object in Liver- pool and the neighbourhood is the aim of the association, for which we ask the support of all Liberals in this district who agree with those views.

MR GLADSTONE AND LORD I SALISBURY. The Leeds Mercury, replying to criticisms of the Timet on Mr Gladstone's manifesto, remarks that the Times arraigns Mr Gladstone because he did not take the obvious course of writing a letter to inform Iio^d Salisbury of tbe ditpesitiv? ot I LimseH and many of his fellow Liberals o co,operate with him in dealing with the ques- tion of Home Rule. The Leeds Mercury adus;— 'I If it had known anything of the truth about the inner history of this Irish question, it would have known that such a letter was written, and that it was actually laid before Lord Salisbury and his col- leagues in the Cabinet. Moreover, theletterwasno deferred until the meeting of the Houses in January. It was written i:i the early part of December, and it contained a positive statement .one of Mr Gladstone's desire to co-operate as leader of the Opposition, with Lord Salisbury as head of the Government-, in settling the Irish ques- t

DRILLING IN ULSTER. Impending Government Prosecutions. Some excitement has been caused in county Aimagh by the issue, of summonses against a number of persons for illegal drilling at Richhill. Information will be applied for by the district inspector of Portadown against Mr Edwin Best, solicitor, Mr Charles M'Callurn, and Robert Mitchell. The charge against them is one of felony, the offence alleged being that on the 2nd of June a number of persons, to the number of 50 or more, were unlawfully assembled at RichhiH Demesne, for the purpose of practising military exercises, movements, or evolutions, without awful authority, and that the defendants were present at and attended the meeting for the pur- pose of training and drilling, and of aiding and in training the persons there assembled together for the practice Df military exercises, movements, or evolutions. Summonses have also been issued against tha following:—Jacob B. Best, Jacob Pearson, James Todd, John Trowton, Henry Porkar, and John Wilson. In this case the charge i > one of misdemeanour. A correspondent of the Daily Express, referring to the prosecution, which is brought under 60th George III., c. 8, says:—"If this be correct, the Government have been badly advised in directing the police to prosecute, as the drilling practised at Kichhill and other places in this county does not come, under the practices made penal by the terms of that act. The Richhill people were undergoing no tuition but such as is every day imparted in schools. There are at present 12,000 men in this county undergoing instruction in drill."

REPRESENTATION OF CARMARTHEN. Resignation of Sir J. J. Jenkins. j An adjourned meeting of the Llaneily Liberal Association was held on Tuesday night-ailr Wiiliam Howell in the chair at which a deputation attended from Carmarthen. A letter was read from Sir John J. Jenkins, expressing his definite intention of not contesting the boroughs. This intimation was received with cheers.—Mr Maclean, of Carmar- then, then addressed the meeting, and said if the Llaneily friends selected a thorough-going Radical, they would have the united support of Carmarthen Liberals. He. however, strongly objected to the constituency being manipulated as it had been in the past by certain membrs.-The Rev Thomas Davies, Siloah, said the question was whether Sir Arthur Stepney was sound or not. He would like to have him before a public meeting, and Alder- man Warren also.—Mr James Montgomery moved that Sir Arthur Stepney be selected by that meeting as the most likely man to carry the seat. This was seconded by Mr Joshua Lowe.—Mr John Davies moved, that the candidates appear before public meetings before a selection is made." This was seconded by Mr Gwilym Evans. A lengthy discussion ensued, in which Messrs Bryant, David Rand ell, J. A. Williams, Samuel Bevan, Thomas Phillips, Joseph Maybery, David James, Dr J. A. Jones, and the Rev Thomas Davies addressed the meeting., Eventually the amendment was carried unanimously. It was further resolved that Sir Arthur Stepney and Alderman Warren be invited to address a public meeting at Moriah Chapel on Saturday evening next.

MID-GLAMORGAN DIVISION. A meeting of the Mid-Glamorgan Liberal Two Hundred is to be held at Maesteg next Thursday. We are informed on reliable authority that Mr John Cory, J.P., Vaindre Hall, Cardiff, has con- sented to allow his name to come before the meeting, if it be decided to run a candidate in opposition to Mr C. R. M. Talbot.

MEETING OF THE NATIONAL LEAGUE. Speeches by Mr Dillon and Mr I Heaiy. The fortnightly meeting of the Irish National League was held at Dublin, on Tuesday.—Mr John Dillon, M.P., who presided, said the defeat of the Heme Rule Bill was undoubtedly a great disappointment, but it would be found in the long run that things had taken the very best course for the ultimate success of their cause. Nothing was more calculated to inspire hope than the attitude of the Irish people at the present time. They were confident theirs was a winning cause, and they could afford to wait. Referring to the riots in Belfast,he had no hesitation in saying that they were to be laid to the charge of nobody else in the world but the English politicians who encouraged them. Lord Randolph Churchill, when he visited Belfast, used his influence to inflame the passions of the people, and a more eminent but not a more sciupulous man had turned his back on his party, and had made himself the hero and darling of the worst section of Orangemen of Ulster by the issuing of letters calling on the Orangemen to prove they were in earnest. If it had not been for the conduct of Lord Randolph Churchill and Mr Chamberlain appealing as they did to the passion of the people, there would not, he believed, have been a single riot in Ulster. Regarding Mr Gladstone's recent manifesto, he said a more straightforward or more courageous declaration of policy never came from an English Minister. Mr H Jaly, M.P., referring to the Belfast riots, said if the juries at coroners' inquests, instead of returning verdicts of murder against police, had returned a verdict of murder against Mr Cham- berlain, it would have being nearer the mark. The Lord Mayor of Dublin said the riots threw a lurid light on Mr Chamberlain's statement that the people of Ulster required a Parliament to themselves.

SPEECHES BY PUBLIC MEN. I LORD CARNARVON. The Earl of Carnarvon, speaking at a demon- stration of the South Berks and fiajjts Primrose Habitations in Highclere Park, on Tuesday, advised Conservatives in the coming election to stick to their colours, sink minor differences, and fight the battle without misrepresentation. He grieved to see that Mr Gladstone had thought good to bolster up his arguments by a miserable appeal to class interests and passions. They kuew what a division of classes and a divided country and empire meant, and let them advocate the union of classes, which meant the happiness of individuals. He promised to speak about Ireland on a future occasion. LORD JOHN MANNERS. Lord John Manners, on Tuesday afternoon, in opening the St. Pancras Constitutional Club, said an idea prevailed that in the present day light and leading should be sought, not in the classes which had hitherto led the political opinion of this country, but in a direct appeal to the masses. Mr Gladstone at Easter published to the world an allocution based very much upon that idea. A supplementary manifesto very much in the same strain had since been issued by some labour representatives, but notwithstanding these autho- rities be thought working men would still prefer to seek guidance from those classes whom they had hitherto been in the habit, more or less, of follow- ing ia the great and complicated affairs or ¡tato.

I Lawn Tennis at Penarth. I WELSH CHAMPIONSHIP. The ground of the Penarth Lawn Tennis Club on Tuesday bore a more agreeable appearance than on Monday, the rain having blown away and a cool—almost too cool-brceze taken its placc. Heavy clouds rolled by during the early part of tho day, but they gradually became lighter, and a briarht evening followed a dull day. The unpropitious weather on the previous day rendered it necessary that the play should proceed with the utmost rapidity, and the courts ware kept filled throughout the whole of the day, the adjournment for luncheon even being abandoned. Rumours had been prevalent on the previous day that Mr Ernest Renshaw would not compete, although his name appeared on the programme, and much disappointment was expressed thereat. That there was no cause for such anticipation was proved by the appearance "f that gentleman, and during the day he uelighted the spectators by his brilliant play in the doubles and in the Gentlemen's Handicap. We are informed that he did not intend to enter for the championship, and hence his non-appear- ance and consequent scratching on Monday. Although conceding very great odds in the handicap, he has reached the third round, and judging by the expressions of opinion by those who should know, he stands iii excellent chance of winning. Should he do so his victory will be very popular, as he has already, by his skill, ingratiated himself with the Penarth spectators. The matches for the championship were rather of the runaway order, the only exception being the contest between Mr C. Lacy Sweet and Mr J. R. Deykin. The first two sets were easily won by the former, but in the third the Edgbaston player, who is a stayer of the first order, won four games straight away. and the Cliftcnian gave up the set. The fourth set was a very exciting one by Mr Sweet appearing to improve for the occasion, and won it by six games to four, and the match by three sets to one. The loser, Mr Dey- kin, is not unknown in Cardiff, as he played in the Moseley fifteen which lowered the colours of the Cardiff football champions for the first time last season. He is in the handicap,in which he has won three matches, and is expected to reach the final round. Messrs Baldwin and Brownlee both had easy victories, and to-day they meet to settle which shall take part in the final. The gentlemen's doubles were advanced to the final round. Messrs Baldwin and Smythe made a good show against the champion" pair, Messrs Renshaw and Sweet, but the latter managed to win by two st" to iove. Heard and Brownlee bad A very soft task set them to defeat Messrs Barnes^-ind Matthews, and they xecuted it admirably. The ladies' singles were interesting. One match—that between Miss B. Trayes and Miss M. Reynolds-proved a very lengthened contest. Miss Reynolds won the first' set by six games to five. Miss Trayes won only two of the first seven games, but then took three in succession. She lost the next, however, and the set. The second set Miss Trayes won rather easily at six to three. The last set was the longest played at the meeting. Miss Trayes won the first four games, and apparently had the match at her mercy. Tiring fast, however, this lady lost the next three games. Miss Trayes won the next, but then lost two, which made the score "games all." Being the final, an advantage set was necessary, and so bent were the players that no less than 14 more games were played before a decision was arrived at. Eight games in the last set were deuce and vantage," ?o that it will be readily understood what a very hard tussle took place. Miss Browne won two love sets against Miss A. Reynolds. The winner played 1Il very pretty style, but she frequently infringed the law relating to foot-faults without being called to account by the umpire. Miss L. C. Stephens, a local lady, defeated the Clifton lady.JVlissM. Rey- nolds, who was evidently suffering from the effects of her severe match with Miss Trayes. These ladies have, we understand, met several times before, but this is the first time Miss Stephens bat been victorious. The final between Miss Browne and Miss 8teptieni will, doubtless, attract much attention, as the spectators will be anxious to see how their champion fares against the Cheltenham lady. The handicap was a successful effort on the part of the handicapper, who got the players remarkably well together. After the very weak players had been weeded out in the first round, the subsequent matches were very well fought out, the full number of sets being necessary in nearly all of them. So well were the arrange- ments carried out that half of the third round cf this event was completed, Messrs Baldwin and Lacy Sweet having already earned the right to compete in the penultimate round, for which honour „ Messrs Kay and Deykin, and Messrs E. Renshaw and Brownlee, have still to contend. The final matches promise to provide some excellent play, and visitors to-day will be fortunate in seeing such well-known exponents of the game as will compete. The prpgramme for to-day is as follows :—- WELSH CHAMPIONSHIP. 11 o'clock—J. Baldwin v. \V. M. Brownlee. 11.15—E. de S. Browne v. C. Lacy Sweet. GENTLEMEN'S HANDICAP. 11 o'clock—J. C. Kay v. J. R.

A correspondent of the Indian Good Templar writes from Bhamo :—" Burmah is a fearful place for cheap drink and heavy crime; the natives manufacture what is called Sham-sho it is sup- posed to be made from rice and lime. One ay form an idea of its power when I assure you that it will dissolve a Martini-Henry bullet in thirty minutes. It burns the inside out of those who drink it, and I am afraid it will play fearful havoc among our troops before this summer is past. We are glad to hear from the same source that determined efforts are being made by Burmah Good Templars to suppress the sale of this fiery poison, and they have no doubt that Government will take action shortly in the matter in their own interest, if not in that of the temperance cause. Among other doubtful mer- cies, Burmah will be favoured with a revised abkarry ruling, whioh is sure to moderate the strength of this dreadful poison. Much more tc the point are those efforts now being taken by members of our order to have temperance pledges widely circulated and an alliance forijied against the ruinous traffic."

The Late King of Bavaria LYING IN STATE. DISGRACEFUL SCENES. [liEUTER'S TELEGRAM.] MUNICH, Wednesday., 11 a.m.—The public lying-in-state of the rfmains of tho late King began at eight o'clock this morning, the old Palace Chapel being fitted up for the purpose. It is densely thronged by a continuous stream of the inhabitants of the city and visitors from the pro- vinces, who are arriving in great numbers. The arrangements made by the authorities have proved quite inadequate to prevent great crowding. The doors of the Resideuz Schloss are kept closed, and it is only every quarter of an bout that two of the gates are opened in order to admit through each of them 200 persons. Inde- scribable confusion has thus arisen. The crush is excessive, and cries are heard from persons who are nearly suffocated in the crush. The sentinels, with fixed bayonets, who have been placed at the gates, have up to the present only helped to increase the disorder by their interference, and it is feared that some accident may happen unless the authorities allow the people to defile unimpeded before the body. Councillor Moralt has received a telegram from the Countess Muehle reporting the condition of the late King's mother to have greatly improved, there being no fever or complications of any kind. The Countes3 adds that she is desired to express her Majesty's thanks for the sympathy shown to her.

I THE DECAZEVILLE MURDER, I fSTANDARD" TELEGRAM.1 PARIS, Tuesday iNAght.-The trial of the eleven persons charged with having participated in the murder of M. Watrin, the sub-manager of the Decazeville Mining Company, commenced to-dav before the Assize Court at Rodez. The court was filled to overflowing long before the commence- ment of the proceedings, and an immense crowd thronged all the neighbouring streets. Among the prisoners examined to-day was Les- cure, who owned that he struck M. Watrin on the forehead with an iron bar but he declared that, having done so, he went away and did not parti- cipate further in the crime. Bedel acknowledged that he gave the signal for the strike, and that he placed a ladder against the wall of the building in which Watrin had taken refuge, but he did not enter the room in which the murder was com- mitted. On the other hand, a youth named CassiLual confessed that he was present in the room when M. Watrin was thrown out of the window to the mob below. He said he believed that the men who committed that crime were Souquieres, Chaptal, and Granier.
