London, Hay 1L Copyright Minis ters of the Government are in anxious coun cil to-day to consider whether or no they shall make the passage of the bill ratifying the anti-sugar bounty convention a question of confidence. Some of the bolder spirits, including Balfour, were in favor of com pelling the Commons to accept, rightly ar guing that Tory and Liberal-Unionist mal contents would swallow their principles, if confronted with the alternative of a dissolu tion of Parliament, and the worries and expenses of a general election, in which many would certainly lose their seats. Moderate-minded ministers, however, dread jed subjecting the Unionist alliance to a strain even more trying than that to which it was subjected during the Birmingham election squabble. A Sacrifice Had to Be Made. The Moderates being strengthened by a letter from Hartington, warning the Cabi net he could not answer for any action his followers might take, and as the faithful ' Times this morning solemnly warned the X Government of the danger they were ran sssvuing, it was mournfully decided to sacrifice theailf, together with its Ancle-Austrian father, Baron De "Worms. The Liberal leaders, more than any one else, will regret the Government's decision, for it has deprived them of what promised to be far and away the best and liveliest fight of the session. ' It is probable that the ministerial de cision will not be immediately announced, the idea in some influential quarters being that if the Government were to climb down jnst now it would look like an undignified surrender to popular clamor. A Cabinet Without Dignity. This idea is somewhat funny. There is sot enough dignity left among the entire Cabinet to fight out an organ grinder. Dur ing the past fortnight, Salisbury has been approaching, cap in hand, nearly every leading Liberal-Unionist and some Tory peers, in the vain hope of obtaining a suit able successor to Lord Londonderry as Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. It is currently re ported that he has received over a dozen re fusals. No peer worth his salt will play second fiddle to Balfour and the viceregal throne in the stormy time coming will be as uncomfortable as a bed of prickly pears. In these melancholy circumstances the old project is revived of a residential prince of the blood in Dublin with an allowance suf ficienty liberal to enable him to maintain a court, the brilliancy of which shall dazzle Irish eyes and turn the wicked nationalists from the error of their way. Too Great to be Killed. The Prince of Wales is to great a man to be exiled to Erin. Prince Albert Victor, it is feared, is to useful to his father in shar ing the social duties of opening bazaars, laying foundation stones and the like, to be spared. The only prince remaining who has noth ing to do, and who is in other ways consid ered eligible, is Prince George of Wales, s pleasant young fellow, not .troubled with an overplus of brains, who holds a lieuten ant's commission in the royal navy. He is 24 years of age, and as his only income at present is his lieutenant's pay and scanty pocket money jointly provided, by his parsi monious grandmother and his father, the Irish Viceroyalty would suit him very welL It is rumored that the matter was consid ered at to-day's cabinet council, but the de cision, if any were arrived at, is for the present a secret lhe Freeman's Journal receives the sug gestion that the Prince of Wales himself should reside in Dublin not unkindly, on the ground that he would be Preferable to Peers like the Tory Orangeman who is about to leave, but It adds presumably for the bene fit of Princes Albert and George that a boy kinglet and a bread-and-butter court would cap with a head-dress of ridicule the hoary and sinister history of a viceregal institu tion linked with 10,000 crimes. The Irish bureaucrats and their British ailies, alarmed at the successful arbitration in the dispute on the Vandeleur estate, are plotting to thwart a general movement in favor ot a peaceful settlement of agrarian troubles in other districts, and their meth ods are so simple thatit is too probable they will succeed. Large sums of money have been raised at the Tory clubs in London and amontheTory aristocracy, and this is de voted to the support of the cvictinglandlord upon whose estates In Donegal ihere has re- jj- cently been such terrible work. He has been paid from the landlord pool a sum Gazette, which remarks, after a seris of a"i eaual to three years xeatpon the sole con-1 tated aad uaeoKplimentary rwaarfe "aWt dition that he makes no terms .with his mis erable tenants .save upon the basis of Unconditional Surrender. Other landlords will be helped"upon simi lar easy conditions, so that there will be practically a premium placed upon evic tions. If the movement should attain the proportions its promoters intend, it will be necessary for tenants to form, with English assistance, a pool of their own. The Irish leaders are anxiously considering the mat ter, and may be trusted to do the best for their poor people. The week in the Parnell commission court has not been altogether satisfactory. Mr. Parnell's examination and cross-examination resulted in a veritable triumph for the Irish leader, whose political record has stood the minutest apd most malignant scrutiny of his detractors and enemies. But the attempt to prove-the true causes of the agrarian troubles by the evidence of Irish bishops was stopped by the extraordinary ruling of the commissioners. On behalf of the Times, witness alter witness, mostly police officers aud magistrates, were Permitted to Give Opinions, draw inferences, and suggest causes for out rages and other excrescences on the Na tional movement, but the Irish leaders are not to be allowed equal license. Their wit nesses mnst. be rigidly confined to facts within their personal knowledge. In view of what has been going on for months past, the ruling is scandalously unfair. But it will have to be submitted to. Its immedi ate effect will be to quadruple the number of witnesses necessary to call frtrthe defense, and it may defer for several months the final triumph of the Irish leaders. i A MARITAL MISTATE. Evidence That the English Often Marry the Wrong Sister First Continued At tempts to Pass the Deceased Wife's Sister Marriage Bill. rBT CABLE TOTES DISPATCH. J London, May 11. The bill which seeks to legalize marriage with a deceased wife's sister made its annual appearance in the House of Lords On Thursday, and was duly rejected, this time by a majority of 27, the bishops, as usual, assembling in full force and voting en masse against it The Prince of Wales also, as usual, did his best to in duce the peers to support the bill, and re corded his own vote in its favor. The history of the bill is curious. Years ago some wealthy men who had contracted illegal unions with their sisters-in-law met and agreed to subsidize agitation in favor of an alteration of the marriage laws, by means of this bill. The agitation has been since kept going entirely by the money of rich Jteople personally interested in seeing the aw changed. There is little popular inter est in the question. The Prince of Wales originally cham pioned the bill for 'family reasons, the Queen being desirous that the Princess Beatrice should marry her brother-in-law, the Grandduke of Hesse. Ultimately she got tired of waiting and married young Battenburg, but the Prince of Wales has remained faithlul to the cause. The House of Commons has frequently passed the bill, and one year the promoters caught the bishops napping and rushed it to a second reading, by a small majority, but at a later stage the lords' spiritual mustered in over whelming force and threw out the bill. It is probable the bill would pass if the promoters would drop the clause making its operation retrospective, but this would not suit the noble and wealthy patrons who. want their irregular unions legalized and their S2iprlng legitimized, arthc' jssme timeV nor the few hundred humbler couples who every day defy the law and'TBarry'within. the prohibited degree. The discussion recalls the remark-of an American that Englishmen xecm always to marry lhe wrong sister first HEWITT CAUSES A SENSATION. The Ex-Mayor Says the South Will Some time be the Hardware Center. HIT CABLE TO THE DISPATCH London, May 11. It was announced that ex-Mayor Hewitt, of New York, would attend a Unionist meeting addressed by Balfour in London, this week, but whether he intended to go or not, he was not there. On the evening of the Unionist meeting he was a guest at a banquet of the Iron and Steel Institute, and addressed the members. He caused considerable sensation among them by prophesying that the Southern States ot America would become the center of the world's hardware trade. This theory is quite new to Englishmen, and startling. I saw Abram S. Hewitt at the Bristol Hotel this morning. He was suffering from severe cold in the head, which added no charm to his usual crustiness of manner. He was somewhat irritated by the report spread by English newspapers that he had been staying with the Dnke and Duchess of Marlborough. The report, he said, was quite untrue, and he also thought it very improper to ask him questions about the health of the Duchess. He remarked that he wanted to secuie quiet in London; that he had come away from New York to for- fet the city for a -time, and that the less he eard about it the better it would be. QUEEN YIC NOT VEET AMIABLE. The Old Lady Disappoints Many Thousands of Her Loyal Subjects. rBT CABLE TO TBE DISPATCH. London. May 11. Queen Victoria gave her subjects a chance of looking at her for an hour or two this week in Hyde Park. She looked very red, very small, profusely wrinkled, and not very amiable. She gave another exhibition of her extraordinary lack of consideration for the public by driving out of a side gate in the park, about a mile above the main entrance, while 15,000 or 20,000 Britons waited patiently and hope-' fully to see her and bow her back to the palace. Everybody thought she would re turn by way of Hyde Park gate, as all the Eolicemen were drawn up in line there, olding the public vigorously back so that the Qneen should have a free way with her carriage. But the old lady apparently changed her mind at the last moment, for she went by a labyrinth of small streets to the lower entrance of the palace, while the public waited expectantly and without its dinner till about 9 o'clock at night The Princess of Wales, who wonld never disappoint people, now drives out regularly at G.30 in Hyde Park, and the-public is np-' peased.

The Opium Habit Causing a Great Amount of Talk Just Now. rBT CABLE TO THE DISPATCH. 1 XONDON, May XL The morphlne'habit, which is causing such an amount of talk in Prance, is receiving attention from English reviewers and medical men. It would ap pear, according to some of the commentators on the vices of dissipated folk, that all sorts of ghastly dissipations have been adopted by women who have nerves and other idiosyncrasies. On this side of the water tea cigarettes have been superseded by cigarettes filled with various herbs, in cluding opium, which are smoked by the women of London who ran to that sort of thing, while the number of ingenious drugs which have been introduced among the women of Paris is too long to enumerate. There is little serious doubt about the ex tent to which this particular torm of dissi pation has taken in Paris, but nfost of the talk in London apparently emanates from professional alarmists who are forever writing to the editors of the daily papers. Speaking of France reminds me that the oracles of fashion there have rung the death knell of what was once a comfort to long and thin-necked women, .Halt the smart women have given up collars altogether, and war their gowns cut loosely around the neck.

A distinguished company who met the Gen eral at dinner at Baroness Burdett-Coutts' house last evening formed a very different opinion of him. The men in the company, among whom were the Duke of St Albans, Sir Alexander Gait and Sir Francis de Winton, agreed that Boulanger had some thing in him, and the ladies voted him very taking. .

Washington, May 11. ThePresident's rebuff of several negro delegations from the South, notably his stinsing advice to the Alabamans to refrain from aspiring to lead the Bepnblican party, has produced in lhe minds of the colored people a state of mind very different from that observed shortly after the Presidental election. Then the election of victory after four years of Demo cratic administration made the negroes in solent The relations between the races -were anything but amicable. The present fceljpg is one of general irri tation. The North Carolina negroes, so visitors state, are not only migrating to the Southwest, but those who remain refuse to take any part in politics. Some are actu ated by a desire to cast Suspicion on the Democrats, as if to charge that the latter prevent the colored voters from 'going to the polls, as in Lafayette parish, Louisiana, but the greater number appear to be thoroughly disgusted with politics. A 8TBAW XN irSELT. This was notably the case in municipal elections a day or two ago. The negroes at Baleigh said tfiat they much regretted ever having gone solidly with the Bepnblican party. They declared that they had accom plished nothing for themselves and nothing for public interests. v The negroes are just now restive because they are not recognized by President Har rison as they expected to be, while "white Bepnblican" movements are everywhere smiled upon. There are also industrial reasons for their discontent Farming in terests in the South have not prospered at equal pace with manufactures. The new factories and additional lines of transporta tion havo not improved the general mass, but only the special interests served. The villages in the tobacco manufacturing re gion nave grown into cities in the last 10 or 15 years. Further down the Piedmont country iron and coal have worked marvels, but the planting class, except in the imme diate localities where the mines are or the bright tobacco is produced, has not been prosperous. , WET PZ.ANXEBS DON'T QUIT.

Already goodly numbers of the blacks who migrated earlier in the year to Kansas and Louisana have returned to Virginia and the Carolinas. Tne improvidence or the race is every bit as great now as It was in the days when the master supplied the larder. The negro question proper is the question of what will he do with himself, and among thoughtful Southerners is deemed one of more impor tance than the other as a political question, of what shall be done for him. PBOGBAMME FOB THE TUTUBE. In the next Congress beyond doubt we are going to see the Chandler role played by the whole Bepnblican party. The policy of taking control of Southern elections is just now very popular in that party, although signs ate not wanting that a revolt from it mar be expected sooner or later. This policy will have for its chief objects the re duction of Democratic members in Con gress, and in some degree the reconciliation of the negroes to the Bepnblican party. It is not expected that the measure will settle what is called the Southern question, but it is the only thing short of broad politics too magnanimous for the men in power to con ceive and set on foot, which will meet the case at all. Thus we shall have, in the opinion of all Democrats and some clear-sighted Bepnb licans, a policy Inaugurated which obscures the true issue of negro self-help and keeps open indefinitely the sectional sore with which the better part of the country has long since become disgusted.

ISPECIAL TELEQBAMrO TBI DISPATCH.! Barrisburq, May 1L The 51,000,000 which the Legislature added to the appro priation for the support of the common schools for the next two, years will likely result in the disapproval of a consider able number of appropriation bills' and the cutting down of the amounts allowed in others. The House Committee on Appropriations was asked to give the schools $4,000,000, but it would not allow more than $3,000,000 because, in its opinion, the revenues did not justify the larger amount. The House though't otherwise, and increased the amount a round $1,000,000, and the Senate ratified its work. The Gov ernor finds that if the schools are to have 52,000,000 a year annually there must be a material curtailment of the aggregate de manded by other appropriation Dills. The item in the general appropriation bill providing for the expenditure of 75,000 for the purchase of dress uniforms for the Na tional Guard will probably be vetoed in con sequence of the large amount voted the schools. The Governor is understood to be kindly disposed toward the proposed im provement in the appearance of the militia, but the finances of the State are not thought by him to warrant the outlay required. General Hastings is strongly, in favor ot the appropriation, tut he does not talk like one who believes the Governor will approve it The appropriation of $50,000 to the Phila delphia Veterinary Hospital is also saicL to be in danger of a veto because of the in sufficiency of the revenues to meet the ex- Lpenses that would be involved in the ap- vroval of the arjoroDriation bills. Among the last bills signed by the Gov ernor are the following: Authorizing the extension of the charters of State provident institutions, savings institutions and sav ings banks for 20 years and providing the methods and restrictions under which such extension can be made; authorizing Or phans' Courts to approve private sales of property of decedents if a better price may thus be obtained; prohibiting managers of limited partnerships from paying to their officers, after five years existence, compensa tion exceeding in the aggregate the amount of net earnings actually earned during 'the year precedipg; restpring pilot fees of 1881 and providing that American vessels laden with coal mined in the United States shall pay no pilotage fees. i AMBUSHED BI HIGHWAIHEN.

Tomlinson, a lawyer, "having an inconsiderable business and earning but a very small income," and made him wealthy by retainers, and placed him upon the list of personal associates and friends whom he was in the habit of reward ing for services in the manner described. Mr. Edison recites the formation of the Phonograph Company, of whose 12,000 shares of stock he owned all but 40. The Phonograph Company was to sell none of its machines itself, but all this; was to be done through Gilliland as general agent Gilliland had a contract to do this, which amounted to a monopoly of the sale of the phonograph. The bill declares" that no consideration was paid by Gilliland; that no sales of phonographs were ever made by him under the contract, and -that in consideration of receivfag'i&e contract-he- agratd ty holdjt subject to Edison's 'pleasure and absolute control, and. always to make add hold, his contracts of like nature subject to the same control. t COAXED INTO THE CONTRACT. Mr. Edison then states that in May,of last year Gilliland and Tomlinson agreed to negotiate the sale of Edison's stock in the phonograph company; that he (Edison) was reluctant to sell his stock, but was urged to do this by the defendants; but that finally all the stock was sold to Jesse H, Lippincott for $500,000. Then comes the pith of Mr. Edison's charges. JHe de clares that: Daring the progress of the negotiation for tbe sale of the said stock, and as a cart there of, tne said OUliland and Tomlinson also ne gotiated with tbe said Lippincott a sale of the said Gilliland agency contract, and Included a sale of said stock: that the said negotiations for the sale of your orator's stock and said Gilliland' contract were carried by defendants ax the same time and the sale of both stock and contract consummated on the same day; that pending the said negotiations the defendants Informed your orator of their intention to sell the said Gilliland agency contract for the sum of (250,000 in stock in a company intended to be organized by the Bald Lippincott for the pur pose of acquiring the phonograph patent rights for tbe united States of America; but these defendants at the same time represented to your orator that the stock aforesaid, to be re ceived by them under agreement for the said contract, was OF UNCERTAIN VALUE and would not exceed, under the most favora ble circumstances, a cash value of 575,000, whereas the fact Is that at the time of such representation the defendants knew the same to be untrue, and knew that they then held an additional agreement cotemporaneous with the agreement between your orator and the said Lippincott; that if the sale of both said Edison phonograph stocks and Gilliland contract should be successfully accomplished he would repurchase from them, at their option, the said $250,000 of stock at par; tbat the defendants concealed from your orator such additional agreement with said Lippincott and your orator was not aware at tho time of his signing and executing- the said agreement with Lippincott that, as a part of the same transaction, the defendants were to receive the said 8250,000 of stock with an option to sell the same to said Lippincott for cash, dollar for dollar. That your orator, if be had known the fact3 - T-s ".. . I aforesaid, would not have executed the agree-J ment aforesaid, and the defendants well knewl that he would not have done so; and your ora tor cnarges tnat tne aeienuaats conceaiea tne facts In the premises from your orator, well knowing that if jonr orator knew the facts aforesaid he would have demanded a larger sum for his stock in the Edison Phonograph Company, and would thus have Imperiled the sale of said Gilliland Agency contract, which was of the Edison Phonograph Company. THE BATES OF PROFIT FIXED. Appended to the bill is a copy of the con tract of Gilliland as general agent, whereby Gilliland is appointed sole agent. The re spectivejrates of profit are fixed. Op each phonogfaph the Edison Company is to have, 20 percent of tbe cost as royalty, andon the total sum thus obtained the company is to have 35 per cent profit The difference be tween tbat and the price charged the public is to be allowed to Gilliland for -expenses, and 15 per cent of the cost of the phonographs to Gilliland is to be allowed to him as personal compensation, The selling price to the publio is to be mu tually agreed upon by Gilliland and the company; and Gilliland promises to buy from the company, and to sell each year a certain number of the phonographs, this number to be agreed upon by arbitration if necessary. Anyway, every year for five years -from the beginning of Gilliland's agency.the number of phonographs he must sell must be increased 10 per cent A Student Drowned la the Shenango.

BROKE THE FATHER'S HEART. A Man Robbed of Wife andThree Little Ones by the Storm. rSFXCIAL TELEOBAIITO TBS DISPATCH.1 Jamestown, N. Y., May 11. At Bidg way, over the line in Pennsylvania, last night, a wind and rain storm of extraordi nary severity was experienced, small build ings, trees, fences and telegraph lines being leveled. Frightened by the tempest, Mrs. William McNall and her four children took refuge in the cellar, expecting that if the house was blown away that they would' suffer no harm, bnt a bolt of lightning which struck the chimney of the buildinz and passed down into the fireplace and thence into the cellar, searched out the little party and took the lives of the mother and her three oldest children. The father was away from home at the time of the storm. After the stress of the hurricane had moderated, neighbors were attracted to the cellar of the McNall house by the wails of the 4-weeks-old infant, which lay upon the' breast of its dead mother, the only living member of the little family left to the father, who was summoned as soon as the casualty was known. He is distracted with grief and almost inconsolable at his loss. Strange to say, the building suffered little harm from the electricity. The faces of the four dead persons were badly blackened.

THE COHYERTSTO A HEW PAlTHj Which Accepts George' Jacob Sdnreinfurtk as the JS&v Messiah, '" BEING HAULED UP IN THEIR CHURCHES," k Female Detcrtlra Bent to 5ab the Bew Deity f Herself CoaTerted. A number of Western churches are suf fering with a bad attack of heresy id tha ranks of their members. The man named Schweinfurt, who is holding forth at Eock- ( ford, HL, has converted so many orthodox people to the belief that he is the new Mes siah, that the churches have been forced Int self-defense to arraign their wanderingr" sheep for trial on charges oi heresy, apostacy, '; and blasphemy. " Cc 5 rSPECIAZ, TELEGBAX TO THE DISPATCH.1 Kansas City, May 11. A new heresy is beginning to make trouble in some of ther evangelical churches hereabouts, and to-day, one of the most prominent congregations ia? ., town took notice of the new departure by.'"i disciplining one of its members. For soma. months the number of Kansas City follow- era of the "New Messiah," the Bev. George- . Jacob Schweinfurth, of Bockford, HL, hav' ' been rapidly increasing. Several hays ,' made pilgrimages to his "heaven and hosaj at iiocslord, and all such have returned fanatically enthusiastic in the new faith. A few women have been particularly zeal ous in the new gospel, and they have been, active leaders in the "Sardis," as the Kan sas City congregation of the church tri umphant is called. Foremost among theso women is Mrs. L. A. Ward, who is stilt a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian. Church. She is a delicate woman of STRONG RELIGIOUS TENDENCIES who has all her life been prominent ia church work here; More than a year ago l she became interested in the Beekmanites,-, and in January last she made a pilgrimage; with about 25 others, to the- Bockford'',', Mecca. She was completely-won by the new plartr of salvation there unfolded to her, and' sha returned some weeks later, pledged to de- -vote herself to the spread of the new gospel.-' She has kept her pledge most zealously. She and others have gone from hquse to house, pleading the new faith. Then she went a step further, and attempted to pro claim her ideas in the prayer meetings of her own and other churches. Of course all her theories are rank blas phemy in the estimation of the orthodox mind, but she was not deterred in her efforts) by expostulation or rebuke. Besort to harsh measures was delayed as longa3possi-i ble by the church authorities and Mrs&. Ward's friends. There was no doubt of her honesty, and the methods she adopted, while persistent, were gentle and refined. THE CHURCHES ?OECEI TO ACT. But the crusade grew and the heretical.; ideas were accepted to such an alarming.' extent that the churches found that some thine must be done. Last week, at the session of the Cumberland. PfeSbyieiigJi s2 j Mrs. Ward, and she was ordered to appear to-day, to show cause why she should not be expelled for blasphemy, apostacy andr heresy. Information at hand indicates that Kan-' . sas City is not the only community which is being agitated by the new faith. Last week " Mrs. Medora Kinnehan, of Bockford, was expelled from the Westmister Presbyterian . Church of that place for blasphemy in ex- j(t pounaing ins new tueoiogy, ana n is not aau ; peace in the "heaven" of the new city. A recent disturbing: element has been the aUi tempt of a Chicazo phvsician. J. S, Wil- " kins, to secure satisfaction from the Bev. v George Jacob on account of his allegiotr alienation ot the doctor's wife. Mrs. Wi. kins, it is said, made a pilgrimage to Bock ford and became so infatuated with the' .king of the new heaven that her husband was obliged to take her abroad in order to restore her mental balance. A CASE 07 BITER BIT. On his return tbe doctor learned that the ' Bev. Mr. Schweinfurth was nossessed of. considerable property, bestowed upon him .-j thereupon sought for evidence on which' to base a suit for damages. He sent a smart' female detective to the "Home"in the role, of a seeker after truth. Ther not only welcomed her as sucb, but they speedily ac.'ti complisned her conversion, and she is now.. among tbe most earnest ot ochweiniurtn a defenders. , ' The new Messiah became aware by divinei intuition, he. says, that a suit for $25,000 ', damages was to be sprung upon him, and he speedily covered all his property with, mortgages. It is believed in Bockford that -he proposes soon to change his celestial -abode to another terrestrial location.
