:bt cable to the dispatch.
Loxdos, Jan. 3. Copyrighted. The
vacancy in the representation of Hartlepool;
caused by the death of the Unionist mem
ber, Richardson, will be keenly contested
by both parties. The result will be of ex
ceptional importance, as it will prove in
whet degree Parnell's conduct and the Irish
dissensions hare affected the English elec
torate. The Bassctlaw election afforded no
inch test, as it was not contested in 1886, the
year of the home rule split in the Liberal
party. Bichardson was elected in 18S5 as a
Liberal, by a majority of over 1,000. In
1SSG he deserted Gladstone, but was re
elected by ths help of the Tories and ofl.250
Liberal seceders, of whom about half voted
for him and the other half kept away from
the polls.
Judged by experience, had this election;
taken place before the O'Shea divorce trial,
the conversion of the dissentient Liberals
would have secured the defeat of the'Tories,
probably by 200 majority A Liberal vie-'
tory now seems to be out or the question;'
and speculation is confined to theiTory
Unionist majority, which is variously esti
mated at from 300 to 1,200. Inl88Gitwas

, A. Frigid Place of Sleeting.
"Why O'Brien and Parnell chose Bou
logne as the place of oaference regarding 1
the leadership of the Irish party it is difiS J
cult to determine. No more cheerless and
desolate rendezvous can be imagined. On
the dnv of the conference the thermometer
was near zero, and as the Hotel du Louvre,
where the two leaders met, is, like all other
Boulogne hotels, constructed with refer
ence to summer occupation, it was real
hardship to remain so long as 21 hours.
The water froze in the pitchers In all the
bedrooms, and the patriots were compelled
to pile overcoats, traveling rugs and even
their day clothes upon the beds, in order to
be comfortable at night. At breakfast it
was necessary to move the tables up to the
firepHce in the coffee room that warmth
xni?h thaw the numbness in their fingers
sufficiently to ply knives and forks.
The same day a mail carrier on the
opposite side of the channel, where the cold
was no more severe, froze to death while
driving between Canterbury and Dover.
O'Brien's conduct with regard to the place
ot the conference has not been calculated to
popularize him with the newspaper men. If
lying for one's country is diplomacy,- he is a
diplomat.
O'Brien Charged With Donule-Denllng.
On Sunday he said, at the residence of
Hermann Eaffalovitch, O'Brien's father-in-law,
in the presence of T. P. Gill, that he
would keep the reporters informed as to the
time and place of the conference. "Don't
worry about it at nil," he said in his most
genial manner; "I will let you know in
plenty of time so that you shall be informed
about it" '
On Tuesday afternoon he was met about
6 o'clock in the Boulevard des Capucenes,
walking with Mr?. O'Brien and his fidus
achates, Gill. "Nothing has been settled
about the conference as yet," he said; "but
Lshall inform you in plenty of time to
obtain the result" The same evening at 8
o'clock he and Gill left Paris for Boulogne
to meet Parnell.
O'Brien has told the same thing to all the
horde of English and American newspaper
men in Paris. He had even made appoint
ments with several for the next day, in order
to throw them off the track. The concierge
at the Baffalovitch mansion on "Wednesday
told the reporters who called various stories.
To some she said O'Brien was sick in bed;
to otners that he was engaged in writing
letters, and to some that he was driving in
the Bois.
A Reporter Sounds the Alarm.
One English reporter, however, knew
O'Brien of old, and waited at the Gare du
Nord to see if he would leave ParK The
reporter caught him leaving with Gill at 8
o'clock Tuesday night and promptly spread
the alarm, so that the journalistic profession
was in it at Boulogne when O'Brien and
Parnell met. O'Brien proved himself a
baby in Parnell's bands, and Parnell
showed all his nid astuteness and general
ship. In the first place he tickled his
vanity and half won him over to his side at
the outset
The mere fact of negotiations between
O'Brien and Parnell i bewildering to the
Irish voter, who has been told so repeatedly
of late that peace with Parnell -is impossible
under any conditions. Then Parnell's offer
to retire if O'Brien were appointed leader,
was a clever move. O'Brien took it as a
compliment to his own abilities, but Parnell
knew that if, O'Brien or his friends put this
forward, it would only still further divide
the McCarthyites.

DT DBXLAP'S CASL2 COJIPAjrr.l
Loxbosr, Jan. 3. -The week iai not been
an eventful one, u is invariably the case be-
tween the "fading out of the old and the
dawning of the new year. Politically,
of course, Parnell occupies the chier
place in the public eye, and
the coming conclusion of the conference is
discussed by the people who make the af
fairs ol the nation their hobby. In this con
nection it is worthy of note that Parnell's
latest defender is a lady of no less import
ance than Elizabeth, Lady Stanton, who, in,
the pages of the current number of the
Westminster Jleiiew, attempts to whitewash
the statesman's character.
This has created a very great deal of sur
prise among all sorts and conditions of
men, and the newspapers have commentea
on the subject, for Lady Stanton's 'principles
are well known, and consequently in being
Parnell's apologist, her present move is not
understood.
A MONASTIC SYSTEM

The Organization of 'a lay Tlrotherhood
Completed to Carry on Parochial TVork
Members "Will Bind' Themselves to' the
Service of the Church.
1BT CABM TO THE DISPATCH. .
London, Jan. 3. Father Ignatius "will
be interested to learn that" the monastic-"
system, the advocacy of which caused bin
years ago much trouble and some suffering,
has at length been formally recognized by'
the Church of England. A "Lay Brother
hood" is being formed forithe diocese of.
London by the Bishop of Marlborough, with
the sanction of the Bishop of London. The
brotherhood will consist of the warden, sub-
warden, chaplain, brothers, probationers,
associates and serving brothers, all being
communicant members of the Church of
England.
' 'The work contemplated is "a disciplined,
devqtional, common life, separated from
secular pursuits and wholly dedicated to the
service of the church," in co-operation with,
the parochial clergy. A warden will be ap
pointed by theBishop cf ttie diocese, to
whom alone hewill'be "responsible .in all
things lawful." It will be, the warden's duty,
to preside at all meals and. all meetings of
the community, and tosee that thediscipline
and order of the Brotherhood be strictly ob
served to encourage, advise and" 'admonish
the brothers. Should any differences .arise
within the community they are at .once to
be referred to the' warden, whose decision is
'to be final, except in such matters as a ma
jority of the brethren may consider ought to.
be' brought, before the Bishop."
Among the rules, it is to be, noticed that
all prtperty of the Brotherhood Is to be in
vested in. thet names of the new warden and
sub-warden 'for the time being ,and the

COST OF THE CASE.
The Expenses of the Ejraud-Bompard Trial
rootCpSG,800.
fBT DCNLAP'S CABLE COMrAKT.1
Paeis, Jan. 3. Some smatlur of sta
tistics has made a curious calculation re
garding tb! expenses of the Gouffe murder
trial. "Without counting the expense of
Eyrautl's execution, or those of maintaining
the woman Bompard during her term of
imprisonment, he arrives at a grand total of
34,000 franc3 ($6 800). It will interest those
unacquainted with French legal methods to
learn that S800 was spent in searching for
ths murderer in Pans; that the first journey
of the detectives to Lvons, where the body
was discovered, cost $80; the second, $225,
and the visit to London in search of the
famous trunk, $120.
The whole expense of the American tour
was 51,615, while the expedition to Havana,
with the cost of bringing Eyraud back, was
S1.200. The trip of the examining magis
trate to Lyons, accompanied by Bompard,
involved an outlay of S140, while $600 were
paid out lor sundries. The purely legal ex
penses exceed $1,000.
BNGLAH1VS SEVERE "WINTER.
Xo Such a Terror Has Been Known There
for Sixty Tears.
I"BT CABLE TO TUK DISFATCU.
London, Jan. 3. Twcnty-threo days of
continuous frost, the glass at times reaching
within 5 of zero, has given London's
population a better conception of rigorous
weather than they previously possessed.
So snch winter has been known in England
since 1830. Hares, rabbits, pheasants and
wild birds generally are dying by the tens
of thousands. Sea gulls to the number of
many hundreds are seeking shelter in Lon
don, huddling close to chimney stacks for
warmth, but frequently perishing from
hunger and exhaustion. Great hummocks
of snow-covered ice floating down the
Thames and piles of snow in every thor
oughfare outsidtv the main city avenues,
give London the appearance of an Arctic
city.
A curious feature about this severe winter
is that it is confined to London and the
southeast of England. Beyond one or two
sharp bursts of frosts, Ireland and Scotland
have been favored with comparatively mild
weather.
MBS. CSHEA'S LEGACIES.

rBT DUKLAF'S CABLE COUPAXT.l
London, Jan. 3. The facts regarding
the probate suits respecting Mrs- O'Shea's
legacies under her mother's will are these:
The late Mrs. Wood made two wills. Un
der the first Mrs. O'Sbea was entitled to
90,000, her right to which is not disputed.
Under the second, 300.000.
It is the latter sum that Mrs. "Woods'
nephews and nieces desire to share. It is
expected the case will be called soon after
Easter, and it is believed that during the
trial interesting revelations affecting Mr.
Prnell and his relations to the legatee,
will be made.

Big Scotr
It Causes
tho Fallore of the
Ballroad Strike. I
BT CABLE TO THE DI8FATCK.1
London, Jan. a The Scotch railway
striki has ended, so far as one road, the
Glasgow and Southwestern, is concerned, in
the defeat of the men. But nearly 8,000, be-
-Aonginjcchiefly to the 2iorth British Com
pany, are still out Their prospects of suc
cess are not bright, thanks to the extraordi
nary apathy shown by the English trades
unions, from whom much was expected and
even promised. Several English railway
compa'nies have actively assisted the Scotch
roads by sending their surplus men to take
the places of strikers, and trades unionists
have in no way resented such interference.
Monetary help has been sent to Scotland
from only one English trades union, and the
strike fund will soon become exhausted.
John Burns appeals to-day to all trades
unionists to send money, and'in other ways
to help their Scotch brethren. But to all
present appearances the appeal comes too
late. Burns is said to have had under con
sideration for more than a year past a
scneme for a siniultaneous.strike for shorter
hours and better wages on all the British
railroads. The collapse of the Scotch strike
must seriously imperil the success of the
larger scheme, so that the impunity with
which the English companies have been
allowed to recruit men for the Scotch roads
is the more inexplicable.
TEE BERING SEA TROUBLE.
Minister Lincoln Believed to Be the Bearer
of Important Proposals.
BT CABLE TO THE DISPATCH.
London, Jan. 3. In diplomatic quarters
here a strong impression prevails that Mr.
Lincoln, who is expected to reach London
next week, is the bearer of, important pro
posals froui3Ir. Blaine for the settlement of
ttbe, Bering fishing question. Zt isjurtber
asserted with considerable confidence that
those proposals must differ materially from
any that have come previously from the
same source if they are to have any chance
of being accepted. Lord Salisbury, in fact,
claims to have reached the limit of conces
sion, and is waiting like a benevolent peda
gogue for bad boy Blaine to come before
him, c.tp in hand, and' promise to behave
better in the future.
The same feeling prevails at the Canadian
Commissioner's office here. Sir Charles
Tupper said the other day that the next
move lay with Mr. Blaine, and he preferred
not to hazard a guess as to what it would
he. One thing, of course, was absolutely
beyond doubt, in Sir Charles' opinion, and
that was that the United Sta'es, by refusing
arbitration, had admitted their claims could
not stand the test of an impartial examina
tion. Sir Charles could scarcely find words
fine enough to express his appreciation of
"Sir Julian Pauncefote's eminently praise
worthy conduct"

The announced intention of the British
Government to return the famous Elgin
Marbles to their . 1
original resting
place, the Grecian
Parthenon, from
which they were un
questionably stol
en, is a fitting con
clusion to a con
troversy which has
continued ever
since Thomas, seventh Earl of Elgin,
brought them to England and turned them
over to the Government in 1811 for a paltry
35,000. As early as the date mentioned
not only the Greeks but the entire art world
raised their voices in strenuous objection to
the spoliation ot the grand old Acropolis of
its chiefest ornaments. The British Gov
ernment long persisted in its efforts to prove
tnat in England the great sculptures would
be saved from destruction, but many of the
best people of that country insisted that this
was poor argument to bolster up an injus
tice. Among the many objectors was Lord
Byron, the poet, and .he continued such to
the end of his existence. He always claimed
that England nor Lord Elgin had the slight
est right to these art-works, besides the
climate of his native country would
do more' than relic-hunters to . de
stroy them. 'Time has proven that he and his
followers were right, and now, after retain-
ing the great treasures for nenrlv 100 years
England endeavors to be just "at last a
ratbertardyjustice.it must be said. Aud
it is very evident that the realization that if
they were not sent somewhere, the destroy
ing atmosphere of England would eventu
ally leave nothing for anyone had much to
do with the present determination. It would
have been a pity if these relics were per
mitted to go to ruin, as the collection was
acknowledged to be the most valuable in
existence, insomuch as it comprehends some

hardly be said to have been filled with joy
at reaching his destination in safety, for
even there his existence is of rather uncer
tain tenure, as his predecessor was slaught
ered at the same post while in the fulfill
ment of bis duties. As stated above, the
missionary's experience en route was terri
ble in the extreme, surpassing even the most
sensational of Stanley s adventures in some
details. For a hundred miles the way led
through n dense forest, infested by savaces
who murdered and robbed members of the
party at every opportunity. Bishop Tucker
will not write a book.

AsitJs-possible for
the human kind to attain, is' an instructive
'lesson in itself, showing1, as it does, what
industry and patience will do when prop
erly used.
Now, that this wonderful man has gone,
it must not be forgotten that notwithstand
ing ail he has accomplished, there is yet'
much to be done in the held unlolded by
him. Troy and Mycenae have many coun
terparts in Italv, Greece and Asia
Minor. The site of ancient Sybaris, which
was destroyed and the course of the river
Crati turned over its site in 510 B. C, has
been practically located by arcbrelogists,
and, although it will require much labor
and expense to divert the stream again, it is
almost certain that the returns will be suffi-i
cient reward.
Most persons would be of the opinion that
the center of oar city pavements are the
most trod upon by the stream of humanity
that flows along them dully. The recant
heavy snow falls, however, were the means
of proving that such is not the fact In the
center of each pavement a pronounced ridge
was raised, showing that the people move
along the sides instead of tbe center. A
gentleman commenting upon this fact, ob
served that it was less pronounced in this
city than any other in which he has been;
that in Pittsburg the main object of every
pedestrian seemed to be an aimless "potter
ing" along, Jn which he was not only in his
own way, but in that of everybody else. In
other places, the rnle was fixed that the
tides should invariably flow to the right, in
fact, in England and other European cities
this was made a law, and signs were posted
at every corner commanding predestrians to
observe it

Thomas Dnrkin died at tbe Mercy Hospi

cause of death. He was sent to the hospi

Known about him by tbe hospital authori

Fayette county, and was 30 years of age.
"When brought in he was very sick,sufferiag
greatly and iu a state of delirinm. It was at
first supposed that bis condition was tbe re
sult of drink, but this appears to have been
wrong, and tbe physicians are at a loss to
understand the case.
A remarkable feature of the case wa
that the pulse of the patient reached 110
early yesterdav afternoon and remained at
that until shortly before death. The .stew
ardess at the institution says this is the first
time in 15 years' experience that she has
seen the pulse of a patient register so high.

AS IMMENSR ARXESIA2rt-WEI.L.A ,
The great trouble, with the- manufacture
of ice has been the want of good water. Lait
year the Eureka Ice Company, whose man
ufactory is at the corner oi First avenue and
Duquesue way, had five artesian wells, hut
had to take a. great deal" of city-water also.
Tlii company lsTiowreparibg to get ahead
of this difficulty and this weekwill, begin
puttiug down an immense artesiab well.
"The well will be the biggest
in the city," said a representa-.
tive ot tbe company yesterdav,
"and one of the largest in the country. It
is to be 8 feet iu diameter and at least 300
feet deep or until we get a good flow of
water. The well will be diggea by five or
six men with the assistance of a derrick and
large bucket to draw the dirt from the hole.
The casing will be of boiler iron and will be
put down from the top similar to the casing
in an oil or gaswell. It will require a long
time before the well can be completed. List
year we had some big bills from tbe city for
water, bat now we are preparing to get
around that and have all the water we need.
The well water is better, tban that secured
from the city and it requires less work iu
purifying." .
There are five ice factories in the two
cities. Eureka, Chantiuquj, Arctic. Union
and Hygia. The Chautauque Ice Company
also deals in natural ice.
TJNCXE SAM LOSES MILLIONS.
Chinese Opium Smugglers In the Dominion
Ply a Large Trade.
Ottawa, Jan. 3. A Government officer,
just returned from an inspection from Winni
peg to the Pacific, says the United States is
losing. nearly 51,000,000 annually through
the operations ot opium smugglers. These
illicit dealers are just cow playing a big
game in British Columbia, and there is uot
n day on which large quantities of tbe
deadly drug are not smuggled into the States
from some point
This smngglingis not, by any means, con
fined to British Columbia, however, he says,
as a short time ago he caught persons in the
Province of Quebec in the act of smuggling
opium across the border. The thing is going
on all the time, and tbe smugglers only
laugh at the United States Custom officials.
The officer suggests as a remedy that the
United States Treasury engage a number of
Chinese detectives to watch the operations of
suspected parties and manufacturers of re
fined opium makers in British Columbia.

I PERSUADED Hill TO
me from first to last like a lion. No, not a
lioness, but a lion, with all its mighty
strength and majestic lilt of head.
Tall, dark, silent and superbly beautiful;
very silent; indeed, she was very serene; yet
with such intense serentity ot persistent
self restraint she seemed to be a bein of
another and a better world. Herhistory had
been a terrible one, but in years at least she
hardly, as yet, stood upon the thresholds
womanhood, still, she was almost old. It
would seem as if she had never, even in her
childhood, been quite young.
She. had returned from Siberia a week.
She was surely dying; beautiful as she was
in her serene and patient valor of soul and
body, she was surely standing in her black
garments at the door of death; waiting. She
never spoke of herself; indeed, she seemed
never to think of herself or care for herself
or her broken health in tbe least. And this
drew me continually toward her. It seemed
to me as if I had a right to care for and look
after her, since she would not care for and
look after herself.
That she had a world of care on her mind
was plain to be seen; but what it was she
would not say. I remember one d3v in the
Kremlin, Moscow, when we were looking at
tbe crown of Poland, stowed away there
along with a dozen or two other like sym
bols, she sai3, "lam Judith." There was
no sense of connection in this last sentence
hissed between her teeth, but it sounded
terrible. There was a scar in tbe palm of
her right hand, as if it had been burned
there by a hot iron. As said before, she
was always closely garmented in blactc. A
costly diamond was in the clasp that held
ber garments about her throat, and her
stately shoulders were always hidden and
heavily mantled, even to her throat. How
then was it that I came to know that those
fair and shapely shoulders had ielt the sting
and indignity of the lash, and were still red
and striped from the stroke of a brutal Bus
sian officer?
There are things that we know by intui
tion, a shudder, a shrug of the shoulders, a
sigh that comes as up from the graveof
buried yesterdays. A word, a look,"a lift
of the face may tell asmncti in a moment as
a whole book can tell in a day and night.
We had met on common ground. The
cause of humanity is the common cause of
all sincere souls. Such souls are not
strangers; and they need no introduction.
But notwithstanding our common aim for
the amelioration of man we differed widely
in our plans and ways and means of reach
ing that common end. For example, she
whs all war; I all peace. She was a
Nihilistl '
"Why not seek new worlds," said I, "and
build new cities there?"
"We, the people, have bult these cities of
Europe, and we, tbe people, should possess
them."

rSbe said this with her great black eyes
fairly blazing from their perfect mantle of
sable fringes. All the lion ot the desert
was in. her look. Her sympathies seemed
to be especially with the Jews. This most
liktt was simply because, the Jews were
.more persistently persecuted by the relent

ful if she was, in religion, at least, of that
ancient and all-enduring-race wbeu'we first

sia aud together we, accompanied by her
mother and a younger brother, drifted down
the Levant She seemed to have limitless
credit at all the English banks In Constanti
nople and other cities. But whether it was
from the iragments of her father's broken
fortunes or from tbe heavy purses of such
Jews as Sir Moses Moutifiore and Baron
Bothscbild, with whom she was in corre
spondence, no one knew. Most likely from
the latter source, since she seemed to be in
accord with their long cherished plan for
rehabilitating the Holy Land. It was while
we were living fur a season in Bethlehem, a
little town where women still weave and
spin, as in King David's time, and pretty,
dark-eyed girls still carry water from the
well, that she began to closely study the
life and character of Jesus Christ and to
quote him continually.
"If a man fake thy coat at law give him
thv cloak also."
She said this as we walked not far from
the little field where Buth, the grandmother
of David had gleaned after the reaper of
Boaz, and then looked in my face for
answer.
"That Is Christianity, Princess; that is
the spirit and the breath of Christ'
"Well, then why do you Christian-people
fight and contend so continually? Why is
it that more than half the time and the
talent of tbe ablest men in all Christendom,
