The gist ol gossip aboutEuropean notables is especially interesting to-day. tnr CABLE TO THE DISPATCH. London, February 23. I have spent three days of this week at Monte Carlo, watching the queer crowd which swarms there for sunlight and gambling. The in teresting things seen and heard about were too numerous to tell about in a few lines of cabling. A friend of mine who lnnched at the palace with the sister of the Prince of Monaco assures me that there is really some serious foundation for the rumors as to the Pope's intention to make the principality his residence. The matter has been seriously discussed, and there is a rival in the field, the Dnke of Liechenstein, who would like to sell his duchy. The idea of buying Monaco doesn't seem such a bad one. The Pope would be absolutely independent, he would have a place large enough for every purpose, and would do a most excellent deed from the point of view of the church, by doing away with the gambling house-. The Most Important Impediment. But this latter is the gravest considera tion. It has made the actual prince one of he richest sovereigns in Europe. It pays Jjl the expenses of the principality, giving 'iim his revenues free of charge, and pays iim beside 1,600,000 francs every year for he right to keep gamMing tables. This, of course, the Pope would have to make good. The croupiers of the gambling tables were taking a pronounced interest in the news oi the Austrian Crown Prince's suicide. They are very well acquainted with Archduke .Charles, whose house is next in succession to the Austrian throne, and particularly with f his wife, Archduchess Marie Therese. This Princess, who has 29 names, but appears not to be a very pleasant character, created a great deal of excitement at the gambling tables. "When she went there she would in sist on taking her husband into the casino, and she would be very exultant when she won, but if she lost she would insult the croupiers and cut up rough generally. One day one siappea me ranee's face in the rambling room for trying to take her away, and she was twice turned out of the place, her card of admis sion being taken away from her. It was only as a special favor, and in view of the very high rank of the Archduchess, that the card was returned, although these cards are freely granted to every fairly-blessed demimondaine who chooses to run down from Paris. People at the Casino even imagine that the Monte Carlo scenes and the scandal about the Archduchess there have had some influence in inducing her husband to give up the succession to the throne in favor of his son rather than make im empress of the quarrelsome lady with 29 names. The majority of the Americans whom I caw in Monaco, I am glad to say, spent the time climbing about the beautiful hills, picking lemons and oranges, and having a good time rationally. The wisest inhabi tants of Monte Carlo, namely, the croupiers, think that Americans are the least profita ble of The Flics That Corao Into the Web of the biggest gambling establishment on earth. The young people, as a rule, are not supplied with money enough to make their gambling profitable, while older people ap pear to have a knowledge of the value of money, which makes them more wary than is good for the Casino. The English are 'the best gamblers and play the heaviest game, with the exception, perhaps, of an occasional Russian or other eccentric indi vidual who comes along and plays yit all ht fortune. Interesting characters who were at the table while I was there were very numer ous. Lord Randolph Churchill played t every night from 9 till 11 o'clock, standing behind one of the croupiers of the trente et quarante table. Behind the opposite crou pier stood Lord Hartington. Hartington played a slow game, paying down only a few louis, but evidently with a keen interest in the result. Churchill, without being a genu ine plunger, played rather heavily, paying down 10,000 francs with freedom andborrow ing when fortune went too hard against him, and in favor of a certain smooth-faced voung nan who always had a fat pockctbook. Churchill was losing while I was there, and Hartington was about even. Hardest Kind of Hard Luck. Young Herbert Gladstone, on the day I left, was just 4 ahead on his season. He was complaining bitterly of a piece of ill luck which had robbed him of "hie hard earned profits. He had seen a certain man losing who was betting on the columns at roulette. He determined to betagainst that nan, and when he carried the idea info execution the man won 23 times out of 25. Bir John Willoughby, a kind-hearted nan, but poor in ideas and money, who re cently went to Madagascar on an extended trip, let his income pile up and put him square financially. He was having such luck as would indicate the early necessity for a second trip to Madagascar. On the evening I left, however, he lost 27,000 francs. The Duke of Dino, on the same evening, lost 105,000 francs, and cursed himself and fate not infrequently, but good naturedly. The Duke is a favorite with the croupiers. He chats with them in friendly fashion, bets his bank notes freely, and when I was there had succeeded in giv ing the impression that he had a great deal of money. As a matter of tact, he came without anything, being very hard up, and succeeded in piling up 600,000 francs at trente ct quarante. It was this money he was losing. Tbo Ilcro ol tho Week. Every week has its prominent winner. This position was filled while I was there by a young American from Philadelphia, re joicing in the possession of an unlimited letter of credit, which the Monte Carlo banker was ready to cash, but which he wasn't called upon to do. I will not men tion the young man's name, as it might cause his father to withdraw the unlimited part of the letter of credit, of which the capital was.made in the iron business. The joungmanwas betting what is known as the transversal playing his money on a certain row of figures and getting back six times the amount. At the roulette table he won 50,000 francs one afternoon and 60,000 in the evening, and started on winning again the next day. The Prince of "Wales came over one after noon and bet $3,000 of the money which the English kindly supply him, without ap pearing to care much about the result Pleasant little Sir Arthur Sullivan, who was with him, played with equally royal in difference. Rather Severo on the Dnch,ess. The Dnchess of Manchester was playing with her accustomed industry and perse verance. She will perhaps be surprised to learn that she was pointed out to me by young Gill, from "Wisconsin, as an awful example of the depravity of bad French women at Monte Carlo. This horrified an American girl, who declared that she had seen the Duchess go up without an intro duction and talk to Lord Hartington. She was much surprised to learn that the tall woman with the hard face and big flowered satin dress was a genuine English Duchess. Among the women at the gambling table was one who passed as the Prince Inissi. This young woman was dressed very fash ionably, as a dashing young Frenchman, and was very much noticed for the reckless way in which she played, and is still play ing. It was only known to a few that she was not a Prince, and no other than the Countess of Bellebceuf, daughter of the Duke of Morny, who last year took to wearing men's dress at the Paris opera, and continued to do so in the French capital until the police interfered. SOCIETYJW TIPTOE. The Queen's Drawing Room Not to bo Very Gay Efforts to Control tho Dress ing Having a Contrary Effect to That Apparently Intended. 1BY CABLE TO THE DISPATCH.1 London, February 23. Society is in teresting itself a good deal about the draw ing room which is to be held by the Queen on Tuesday. It is probable it will not be a very gay drawing room. The royal family and members of the court will wear mourn ing. The upper set will probably do the same, out of respect for the court, and the announcement that the general, public can wear what it pleases is calculated to make the general public get mourning gowns with all convenient speed, in order that it maybe mistaken, as regards the description of its dress, for something other than what it is. A number of Americans are to be pre sented, and it is to be hoped all these will make themselves as gorgeous as possible. Among them are Mrs. Bradley Martin, Mrs. DeRoode, Miss Durant Mrs. George B. McClellan, and her daughter. Miss McClel Ian. These ladies will be disappointed to learn that they will only meet Her Majesty by proxy, as after the first few guests. Am bassadors' wives, etc, have been received the Queen will go away and leave the Princess of "Wales to be bowed to by the lone list of women who will remain for hours shivering in their carriages or penned up like sheep in the anterooms of the palace. The new Duchess of Marlboro is to be pre sented, according to present arrangements. It will be interesting to note if a certain bit of gossip which is going about will be justi fied. The Duke of Marlboro's divorced wife is going to be present at the same drawing room, and the statement is that, while the Queen couldn't do otherwise than to receire the American Duchess, who isn't to blame for her husband's shortcomings, she nevertheless intends to show her sympa thy for the divorced wife and her dislike for the wicked Duke, in a' little way of her own, by receiving the divorced wife in per son, most spaciously and going away be fore the American duchess arrives. The royal proclamation by which women were to be allowed, under certain circum stances, to wear their court dresses higher than usual, will not make any special change in the appearance of the crowd. The fact that this order was made by the Queen out of consideration for those who are in weak health or advancing years will tend, if anything, to make dresses lower-than be fore. MAIDS MAT CHANGE THEIE MINDS. Princess Victoria Has Forgotten Her Bnt tenberg and Will Marry Prince Carl. BY CABLE TO THE DISPATCH. LONDON", February 23. Eumors as to the approaching betrothal of Prince Carl of Sweden to Prince's Victoria of Prussia are more or less officially contradicted or con firmed on an average of twice a day. The marriage is scarcely deserving of so mnch fuss, but if the statement of the intended betrothal is genuine it is interesting as showing that the Princesses, like other young women, can change their minds with cheerful speed. Victoria is the young Princess who took on so terribly last spring when Bismarck wouldn't let her marry Prince Alexander of Battenberg, on which occasion very many sympathetic tears were shed, and letters written. The tears and sympathy were wasted so far as the Prince is concerned, for ho has actually married a young woman, Marie Loisinger, who sings in opera with no great success, and whose father was a valet dc chambre. The singer who captured Battenberg is 23 years of age, of humble parentage and a Catholic GAT LONDON SWELLS. Worshiping at the Feet of Specially Im ported Parisian Dancer. TBT CABLE TO THE DISPATCH.! London, February 23. Very young men of London and older ones, who onght to know better and who go to theGaurdenia Club, have had a chance of admiring the beautiful Goulue and the quartet of dancers that have Ion: been performing in Paris. These have been brought over to this Isl and specially for the benefit of gilded youth, and have created a great impression by their ability to carry their arms in the peculiar fashion of Bullier, of the Jardin de Psris. JOGGING AI0M WELL. Carnot's Cabinet a Snecess as Far ns It Goes France Has Moro to Fear From Socialists Than From Boalangcrlsm. fBT CABLE TOtTHE DISPATCH. Paris, February 23. The French Cabi net, which has just been completed, prom ises to jog along and run the business of the Republic fairly well for a while, perhaps all through the exhibition, Freycinet is an able man, and a cunning one beside. M. de Blowitz and similar luminaries predict dreadful happenings; that the Frenchmen are going to do something dreadfully revo lutionary, led by Boulanger, etc., but this is mostly nonsense. Boulanger is quiet, and will remain so because he can't help it. The fact cannot be too often Impressed upon those who hare been periodically excited over his move ments and rather inclined to think that the end of the French republic had come when the Parisians chose him for their deputy. The Government has the army, which is a big one, and Boulanger's political muses for of course he does not manage himself are painfully aware that they have nothing good enough to oppose to 400,000 bayonets. A crowd of Parisians yelling, "Vive Bou langer!" are impressive, but they won't do for the present. Boulanger may be almost overlooked while the real danger which has threatened the Republic long before Boulanger's time still exists, namely, intelligently organized Socialism. Frenchmen have a decided way of telling out their feelings when they are hungry and generally dissatisfied. " The Socialist leaders see a fine opportuity just nowof making trouble under the cloak of Boulangerism, and will likely try to do it. M. de Freycinet will find Boulanger, who has lots of money and a comfortable home, far more easily managed than the Socialists, whose leaders have many times Boulanger's brains, and who have proved that they are not afraid of being shot. A Socialist dem onstration to commemorate the revolution of 1840 is organized for to-morrow, and a row is looked forward to. It will probably not be very serious, for somehow big events in Paris do not come- off when they .have been looked forward to. The Cabinet turns out to be, as I predicted last week, a purely business one, designed by Carnot to act really as the committee of the big exhibition. A WRINKLE FOE THE 400.

The Chinese are a great nation for filial piety and re spect for ancestors generally. The Empress Regent, of China, desiring to honor Sir Robert Hart, has thought of no better way than to ennoble three generations of his an cestors dead and bnried. It is to be hoped that excessive respect for parents, which reminds one of the famous venerable disciple of Confucius, who at the age of 70 dressed up in children's clothes and played about the floor in order to make his parents believe that they were still young, will produce a proper im pression on Hart, whose services are so curiously recognized. BETTEE OFF THAN SHE THOUGHT. Empress Frederick Gets a Few Moro Francs Than She Expected. IBT CABLE TO THE DISrATCn. London, February 23. Empress Fred erick, it seems, has come in for a much bet ter thing than was at first supposed by the Dnchess of Galliera's will. It appears that 10,000 francs is the sum which has been left her. The Empress intends spending very little time henceforth in Berlin, not more than will be absolutely necessary in her po sition of Dowager Empress, in respect to the large sum of public money she receives. It is likely that, in view of the many at tacks made upon her in Germany, she will spend as much time as possible with her mother in England. CONSIDER HIS FEELINGS.

It seems that at the anti-slavery meeting to be held next week, uncomplimentary things about the conduct of the Germans on the east coast of Africa, were expected to be said.

The career of Eichard Pigolt, the sensa tional witness in theParnell case, reads like a romance. Pigott no less than three times has associated himself with Irish pa triots, only to betray them later and strut around a free man, while they suffered for their indiscretion. At such times as these re appearances he was eager for war and blood shed. Several times he was recognized as a paid spy of the English Government. rSPECIAL TELEGRAM 70 THE DISPATCH.l New Yore, February 23. The early ex ploits of Richard Pigott, the vender and suspected forger of the famous Parnell let ters, form an interesting chapter in the story of his career. In youth he was a care less fellow, drifting about the city of Dub lin, intent npon pleasure and excitement. His father was the chief baron of the ex chequer, and was one of the firstCatholic judges Ireland had. The youngecjpigott was educated in Clangow's College, with a number of enthusiastic young Irishmen whom he deserted in the hour of peril, a few years later. Among the men in this city who knew Pigott well at this time is Colonel John O'Byrne. He describes the Pigott of that day as a talented, smooth-talking young man, with pleasant and persuasive man ners. His father's position gained for him admission into the best circles, where his rampant talk against the foes of Ireland made him appear to be a man willing to sacrifice everything for the sake of his country. A TATEIOT EARLY IK LIFE. Pigott was on friendly terms with a num ber of men interested in the Young Ireland party, and when the party separated, in 1847, and the Moral Force party was organ ized in its stead, Pigott became prominent in the councils of the latter. He was one of the 21 delegates to the council of the Irish confederation. Among the others were Judge O'Gorman, Charles Gavan Duffy, Thomas Francis Meagher. Thomas D'Arcy McGee and "William Smith O'Brien. Pigott was a prominent figure in the meetings of the Council, and talked a great deal about the necessity of bloodshed and other terrible things. It was difficult -to fnlm liim nffpr rmt np hi nnthiircfo ftnA h 1 acted as though he wanted to go right out and whip England himself. He couldn t bear to hear a suggestion of peaceful meas ures, and protested again and again that bloodshed alone could accomplish the ends desired. It was as much due to Pigott's inflamma tory speeches as to any other consideration that, at the convention in D'Olier street, in .uiiDiin, in Juiy, isio, it was resoivea to attempt to raise tho peasantry of Tipperary to insurrection. Pigott grew hys terically happy over this, and demanded that he be assigned to a post of danger and' difficulty, xne council sent Kicnard o Gor man, Thomas Francis Meagher and Morris Leyne, a nephew of Daniel O'Connell, to different cities. LOOKED LIKE A SELL-OUT. John Lawless,a solicitor, Patrick O'Dono hue, Colonel O'Byrne and Pigott were stationed in the counties of.Wicklow and Kildare. They were to meet and arrange for a division of their work. All were on hand at the appointed time, except Pigott. After a dreary wait it became evident that Pigott would not appear, and O'Donohue declared that he must have betrayed them. The result of this attempt to rouse and arm the peasantry of Ireland is well known. Scarcely a month had passed before O'Don ohue, Meagher and O'Brien were arrested and lodged In prison. Pigott had myster iously disappeared. It was rumored that efforts were making to arrest him, but when at last he reappeared he was permitted to strut about unmolested. The three prisoners were hurriedly tried and promptly convicted. They were sen tenced to be hanged, drawn and quartered. The sentence aroused widespread indigna tion, and Minister Buchanan vigorously protested against its execution. He said it wonlrffhock the sentiment of the civilized world. In spite of an apparently earnest fight on the part of the prosecution against clemency, the sentence was commuted to transportation to Vandieman's land. "The men were taken there, but all of them eventually succeeded in escaping. ANOTHER SERENE BOB-UP. His former companions had hardly been taken away before Pigott bobbed up' again. He was terribly enraged at the way thev had been treated by the Government, and talked loudly andfuriously about war and bloodshed, as formerly, but the people were shy of him, and his harangues were mostly addressed to ominously silent audiences. The hunt after the men engaged in the councils of the Confederation was vigorously prosecuted, and there was a scramble among them to get out of the country. The people wore awed by the prompt conviction and terribly severe sentence of the men who were captured. This Emboldened Pigott to appear again in Dublin and try once" more to lead Irish patriots into trouble. For a time Pigott was recognized as an agent of the English Government, whose plan was to betray men into expressions of ill-will against the Government, and to organize them for the purpose of resisting it, and then to deliver them up to the'prison and the gallows. His life might have " been in jeopardy in other circum stances, but he was feared as much as!hated, and lived to engage in tho plots which are now king revealed before the Parnell conii mission of inquiry. , WHI THEI LAUGH.

St. Barbe fs a little village of 1,700 inhabitants about CO .miles from Montreal. On "Wednesday last was nomination day for candidates for Mayor of the parish, Mr. Chatrand, village schoolmaster, who has also been counsellor for several years, was the only one put in nomination, and in consequence he was de cided Mayor by acclamation. On Thursday night Madame Chatrand gave a dinner to all the village notables, in honor of her husband's election. The com pany hid just sat down to the table when they were startled by a tremendous crash and three large windows were shattered to atoms. The cries of the startled ladies had not ceased nor had gentlemen regained their presence of niind when a perfect storm of stale eggs began to pour through the broken windows. Eggs were no respecter of per sons and, in a few seconds the ladies' toilets were mined. The gentlemen made a sortie against the assailants. They found quite a crowd of roughs, some of them masked, engaged in the attack. But all fled on seeing there was a probability of a fight. -Two of the mob were followed to a hotel, but there they dis appeared. The hotel was searched, and in a hayloft two of the mob were found concealed in tho hay. One was captured, but the other escaped by jumping from a window. The prisoner was marched to a hardware store and a barrel of coal tar was procured. Although the night was bitterly cold he was stripped to the waist. Coal tar was plentifully supplied to his naked body, and when thoroughly painted a pillow was ripped up and he was ornamented by a thick sprinkling of feathers. The captive was then let go. DIY0ECED WITHOUT KNOWING IT. The Strange Story Told to the Judge by n Brooklyn Woman. rSPECIAL TELEGEAJI TO THE DISPATCH.l New York, February 23. Joseph E. Jarvis got an absolute divorce from Mary Elizabeth Jarvis, of 53 Lynch street, Brooklyn. Yesterday her counsel, David J. Teese, applied to Judge Van "Wyck, in the City Court, Brooklyn, for a vacation of the degree. Mrs. Jarvis, in her affidavit, says that on February 8 a man called at her residence and handed her a paper, which she has since learned was a' copy of the decree of the di vorce, dated October 1, 1888. "When her lawyer saw the paper she was astonished to learn from him its nature, because her hus band had been living with her almost con tinuously during the year. Onemorning in June last, she says, her husband told her that a paper would be served on her that day, but that she needn't mind it, and might burn it if she liked. She obeyed her husband's in structions, and did not know that it was a notice of the suit. Her hus band lived with her up to February 6, 1889, when he left her, taking -her three children with him. "When she sent for them he re turned a copy of the divorce decree. Mrs. Jarvis says she does not know one co-respondent, Budworth, mentioned in her husband's complaint, and she submits affi davits from five other co-respondents deny ing her Husband's alleeations.

SrECIAL TELEOBA3I TO THE DISPATCH.l Indianapolis, February 23. Another day has passed and left General Harrison's Cabinet slate unsmashed. The pressure that is being brought to bear to break it, seems to be solidifying it. It is now cer tain that if any changes are made it will not be until General Harrison is in "Wash ington and gets from the party leaders there better reasons than have yet been presented to him for a change in his plans. Partner Miller, in spite of the fight Hoosier Repub licans are making over his appointment, feels so sure of his place that he has ad mitted to several personal friends that it is true that he is to be Attorney General. There is still some talk that Busk may be left out in order to adjnst the geographical unevenness of the cabinet, but the best in formation obtainable here is that he is a fixture, and that the only uncertainties are as to the disposition of the Agricultural De partment if "Warner Miller doesn't take it, and of the Navy Department, which hag rbeen 'left practically open to "facilitate the adjustment of complications that may arise. NETV FOE AUSTRIA. To-night it is said npon unquestionable authority that John C. New has received an offer of the Austrian Mission, and is hold ing it under advisement.

Colonel Bridgeland has just purchased another horse for the "White House stables. Like the two previously bought, it is a bay, 16 hands. Besides this, the animal is a grandson of Lexingtdn; and can be used for cither driving or riding. It comes from near Lexington, ivy., ana is to De sent at once to "Washington. Tho "West Virginia situation was put be fore General Harrison this afternoon by N. B. Scott, of "Wheeling, the member from that State of the Republican National Com mittee. Mr. Scott had a long talk with the President-elect and left town at once. It is supposed he wished to arrange some under standing as to the action of the National Government in case of the establishment o rival Diaie uovernmenis in t est v lrginia after March 4. Mr. Scott and a delegation of other West Virginians were here some time ago, and at that time it was understood they received from General Harrison as surances that encouraged them to believe that he would support Goff, should there be an excuse for Federal interference. Since then there have been important changes in the situation. THE CARS ARRIVING. The cars for General Harrison's special train are arriving to-day. The finest one of the lot is the private car pf President Kob erts, just refitted, which will be reserved for General and Mrs. Harrison. The other cars will be 'the finest parlor and dining room cars that the road can get, and the private car Iolanthe, one of the most elegant owned by the Pullman Company. AHogetkij, it is claimed by the railroad men that it will be the finest train evermadeupin thiscountry. George H. Thomas Post, of the Grand Army, to which General Harrison belonged, has been ordered to turn out on Monday afternoon as escort to its distinguished com rade on his way to the station. A good many of the old soldiers of General Harri son's regiment have been calling at the house to-day to bid him good-by. Along with them went "Ancient Mariner" It. "W. Thompson, of the "Wabash, to give his bene diction to the new administration. Chief Bell, of the secret service, is an noyed that the fact that the secret service men are to look after the President-elect's safety until he is inaugurated should have leaked out, and he is abundant in his de nials. This is principally because Gen-' eral Harrison doesn't like the idea of being guarded, and is disposed to tell Chief Bell that his services are not required, General Harrison remarked to-day to some of the newspaper men who ate also going to "Washington, that he thought he should as sign Chief Bell and his detectives to look after the safety of the correspondents. BEN GETS HIS HAIR CUT. General Harrison had his final hair-cut before inauguration to-dajr, patronizing the barber wno nas cared for his head for many years, and who, it is said, will accompany him to "Washington to be the "White House barber. In addition to the usual trimminsr. General Harrison submitted to a mysterious Western manipulation known as an "egg shampoo, and came from the barber shop looking as fresh and cheerful as though he had never been elected Presi dent Approaching responsibilities have not seemed to weigh very heavily npon him physically, at any rate, for during the past two weeks he has seemed in better health and spirits than at any time since election,, and has been growing pleasanter in his ways and springier in his walk with every day. The last of the packing up at the house was finished before dark to-day, and most of the chests and boxes were taken to the express or freight offices and shipped East. A SENSATION.

Evansville, February S3. Mormon missionaries have been proselyting in Law rence. Crawford, Harrison and Dubois counties. They set up the claim that they could make the lame walk, the blind see, and bring the dead back to life. Two of them in Dubois county, within 30 miles of this city, announced that an old woman of the neighborhood, who has been blind for CO years, should bo made to see. The people gathered to see the miracle, but the imposters, after working for a half day with the case, gave it up, assigning their failure to the weakness of the subject. The poor woman had been subjected to such ex citement that she fell into a faint and atlast accounts was not expected to live. This caused much indignation, but the elders were let alone until last night, when they were told to leave the county by a body of citizens. The elders informed them that they proposed to remain. This led to a conference of the regulators, who at once decided on extreme measures. "While the elders were still exhorting a small crowd, four men came in from the rear wearing masks and in a twinkling pinioned the elders and led them away into a distant ravine, where they were stripped to the hare back and received 0 lashes. Both men knelt and prayed during their castiga tion and they were incorrigible- After ic was finished their few belongings were brought them and the regulators notified them they would be left to themselves until morning, but would be killed if found in the county to-day. They disappeared last night and one of them, Elder "Williams, made a journey of 20 miles to "Winslow, which he reached this morning. He had left his companion, who had fallen by the wayside" and he himself was in a half-demented condition and per fectly exhausted. They are looking for the other elder to-day, but up to the this after noon he could not be found. It is thought that "Williams will die from the result ofhis treatment and exposure. EANDALL WILL PIGHT For tbo Cowles Tobacco Tax BUI Until the End of the Season. f SPECIAL TELEGBAM TO THE DISPATCH.l "Washington, February 23. What, with the deficiency bill and funeral orations to-day, it was deemed inadvisable by Mr. Bandall to attempt to call up in the House his resolution for the appointment of a time for the consideration of the Cowles tobacco taxb ill. Such progress will have been made) probably, by the appropriation bills on Monday afternoon or Tuesday noon as will enable him to take that step. It does not seem now as though a compromise is possi ble, and in that case Mills and his colleagues will filibuster as long as they can against the resolution, which will doubtless be till the end of the session. Bandall counts on having at least 50 Dpmocratio votes with him, and there may be 20 more than that number. If, with their small minority of the House, the Mills faction obstructs all busi ness to defeat the adoption of the resolution, the Bandall men claim they will still have gained a great advantage in showing that if the Texas and Kentucky contingents can not get what they want they will play the dog in the manger, and permit nothing at all to be done. In this case the responsibil ity of the extra session of Congress, if one be called, will be thrown on the shoulders of the free traders. TEISGT0 SATE DUDLET. A Remarkable Change Noted In Ono of the Democratic Prosccntors. fSPECIAL TELEGBA3I TO THE DtSFATCH.I Indianapolis, February 23. The un expected publicity given to the fact that a warrant had been issued for Colonel W .W. Dudley, has disconcerted the plans of the prosecuting authorities, and has caused much pressure to be brought to bear upon them to secure the cancellation of the- warrant, as the one issued in the same way just before election, was canceled. Democrats deeply interested in the prosecution urge that the proposed ex traordinary action, after the long investiga tion of the case by the Grand Jury and the failure to indict, will simply react upon the prosecutors and sustain the Eepublicans' plea that the whole case is one of political persecution. Curiously enough. Assistant District At torney Bailey, who has all along been most bitter in the effort to bring Dudley to jus tice, is the one who is urging this plea, while Acting District Attorney Claypool overrules all objections and insists that ex treme measures must be resorted to. Judge Claypool has, however, delayad his trip to Washington with the warrant. It 13 un derstood that he will start to-morrow. JUICE "LATHAM DISAPPEAES. The Once Noted Ball Flayer.Redaced to Ex tremities, isTbongbtto Have Sulci Jed. ISPECIAL TELEGKAM TO THE DISPATCH.l Louisville, February 23. "Jnice" Latham, the once noted baseball player, has very mysteriously disappeared, and his friends are looking everywhero for him without success. A gentleman who knows him well saw him last Thursday morning, and so far as known he has not been seen or heard of since. "When seen he was going toward the river and looked so de jected that the gentleman says he half won dered then if Latham was not intending to commit suicide, as he was heart-broken, penniless, and hard put to make a bare liv mz. Latham was employed part of this winter as a street car driver, and a number of his former admirers saw him often, not coach ing the great Devlin and Snyder, the once' brilliant battery, but a pair of old mules.

THE SAME 60ET.. , A Pretty Irish Peeress Becomes" Desperately Infatuated and ELOPES TO- THE UNITED STATES With Her Father's Coachman; and Despite Earnest Entreaties EEFDSES TOFOESAKE-HEETEUELOTE. The GUTs Father Crossinj the Ocean In Pursuit of tho Fngitlus. Another victory for the family coachman has to be recorded. This time he carries off the bright and beautiful daughter of an Irish peer and the Colonel of a British regi ment. The lovers reached Boston ahead of the irate father, who is crossing the ocean in hot pursuit. A detective, forewarned by cable, met the elopers, and tried to persuade the girl to leave her lover and await the ar rival of her father. This the peeress refused to do, and walked off arm-in-arm with tho coachman. rSTECTAL TELEOBAJI TO THE DISPATCH. Boston, February 23. A pretty maiden, daughter of an Irish nobleman, attended by her father's coachman, was a passenger on the Beaver line steamer Lake Huron, which, arrived here last night from Liverpool. That was their relation when they left Dublin. Now they are husband and wife, and an angry father is on the ocean, where his pro test cannot be heard. Superintendent Cornish, of Pinkerton's force, tried hard to induce the girl to await her father's com-, ing, but she left the steamer to-day leaning; on the arm of her former coachman, and be came his wife this afternoon). The couple registered as "Mr. and Mrs. Neil," when they took passage on the) steamer. It is an assumed name, and do tectives refuse to give the right one. They received word from London several days ago to be on the lookout for the fugitives, and they were, on hand at the wharf when, the steamer arrived last night They were instructed to detain the- couple until ther father's arrival, but as each wo3 of age they could snap their fingers at the police. AN IRISH PEERESS. It was the same old story of girlish infat-' nation with the man who handled the rib bons. 'The father holds a Colonel's commis sion in the English army and is absent from home much of the time. The lady is a charming brunette, just past her majority,, with a pretty face and figure and a striking; carriage. If the statements of her fellow passengers are to be taken for anything, she is amiable as she is pretty. White the girl is attractive and the per Bonification ot sweetness her gay Lothario, is just the reverse. He is a man verging on two score, with hair slightly tinged with gray, and has nothing about his personal manners that would seem to be attractive ' to a woman. His dress is that usually worn by a gentleman of the better class. Ha was a good conversationalist, and in their long drives the girl learned to love him. Away from the eyes of the father they felt safe, thougbrthey should appreciate the old, gentleman's anger, should he discover their advancing intimacy. LOVE peevahed. The coachman prevailed upon the maiden to leave Ireland and come with him to this country. The girl gave her consent only after long and painful entreaties from her lover. They took passage on one of tha night boats that ply between Dnblin and Liverpool, and on their arrival in that city went to the officers of the Beaver line and engaged a second-class passage on board the Lake Huron, which then lay in the stream waiting for her cargo. They went on board the steamer after securing a passage, al though the Lake Huron wonld not sail for some time and the second-class quarters were not eqnal to the hotel accommodations: on shore. Thev knew it would be a secure place for them, however, and their pursuers, if any there might be, would never 'find them. When the father discovered the elope menty he notified the Scotland Yard detec tives, who easily traced the fleeing coupls to the Beaver line offices, and found they had been notified one day after the Laks Huron had sailed. CLINGS TO HEB LOVER. The father then called on Pinkerton's men in this country to intercept the couple on the steamer's arrival in 'Boston. Superin tendent Cornish, of the Boston office, easily identified the couple. He used all his per suasive powers to induce the young laJy to leave her lover, bnt without avail. t Sne obstinately refused to leave him and said: "My affection for him is stronger than any love of home and my father. I cannot, I will not leave him." Superintendent Cornish was accompanied by the English consul, who also made a fruitless attempt to have the girl return home. She declared again her undying af fection for her lover, and in spite of the en treaties of the two men she firmly refused to leave the boat with them. Again this morning Mr. Cornish made another attempt to induce her to place herself in his chargo and await the arrival of her father, who is on his way to this country. Again she re fused, and at about 0 o'clock the couple left the Lake Huron arm-in-arm, with tha avowed intention of going to the first min ister and be married. They have not been heard from since.

Hall, who was the Speaker of the Senate in the days before the adoption of the present Constitution, disturbed Senator Eutan con siderably to-day by asserting positively that when the text of the Supreme Court's decis ion on the Wallace municipal act of 1874 appears, it will declare all ot the act con stitutional except the optional clause. In this case the special charter of the city of Allegheny is knocked out, and the city will have to come nnder the act of 1874. Ex-Attorney General Palmer, however, expressed himself positively on the other side. If Mr. Hall is right Allegheny; under pending legislation, must become a city of either the first or second class.
