The result of the Manchester electioD was unex pectedly favorable to the Liberals, the Tory majority having been reduced almost to the vanishing point, but a most satisfactory point it is. As far as can be learned, the Liberal Unionists in Manchester have been converted to home rule, and if, as there is reason to believe, this conversion has been general in Lancashire, the Liberals will gain a dozen eeats in that important county at tha general election. The vacancy at Cam bridge University, which had been kept open in case the Postmaster General should he defeated at Manchester, was filled up to day in the usual way by a nonentity named Jebb, the only qualification for any Varsity feat being bigoted Toryism. There are at present some half dozen seats vacant, all previously held by supporters of the Government. The Liberal may contest two or three, but it is not likely that they will be successful, eicept perhaps in the Korthern division of Devonshire, which was lost in 1S83 entirely by Liberal dissen sions on the home rule question. CLAIMAXTS TOR smith's seat. It is not probable that Lord. Salisbury will be in any hurry to fill the dual post of First Lord ot the Treasury and leader of the House of Commons, made vacant by the death of Mr. Smith. Bival claimants are already intriguing for promotion, and the selection will be a difficult and delicate mat ter. If party services count for anything, Mr. Smith's successor should be beyond doubt Mr. Balfour, but it is urged that he can't be spared from Ireland. The objection comes strangely enough from the very men who for months past have been proclaiming from the housetops that Balfour has "pacified" Ireland and that the machinery of Irish government can now be trusted to run smoothly with out the constant supervision of the chief engineer. But it will probably serve, and Balfour will have to wait until the Tories are in opposition, for his well earned pro motion. The Tories will be glad enough to have him for leader during the coming period of adversity, and ha himself being yet young, as political life goes, is appar ently content to wait, GOSCHEX ET THE WAT. The chief trouble is with Goschen, who, having, according to his friends, made heavy sacrifices to join the Tory Cabinet, is now entitled to the reward of leading the united party in the House of Commons. As far as the outside world is aware, Goschen's sacrifice consisted in the acceptance of the dignified post of Chancelor of the Ex chequer, for which he had craved for years, and never could get irom the Liberals, and 5,000 a year. Plenty of men in the Tory party would cheerfully liave immolated themselves on the altar of duty upon similar terms with out posing afterwards as martyrs. But Goschen's sacrifices have to be taken into account, because it would be very awkward if wounded vanity should induce the Bt. Hon. Turncoat to hand over the finances to a novice on the eve of a general election. The best leader of the House of Commons would be Mr. Ritchie, but neither Balfour nor Goschen would serve under him. On the whole, it is probable that conflicting claims will be avoided by the appointment tf Sir Michael Hicks Beach to the coveted post BEACH A FOESIER LEADER. Beach led the House in the early days of the present Parliament with some ability, until failing eyesight compelled his tem porary retirement. He is in good health again, and having no enemies, he would be accepted as a compromise, provided always that Lord Hartington couldnotbe persuaded to take Mr. Smith's place. AVnenever the Government is in trouble its members in stantly turn to the famous Mugwump Mar quis, in whose political power they place childish confidence, and the present occa sion is no exception, but Lord Hartington has repeatedly resisted Lord Salisbury's entreaties to enter the Cabinet, and as he has nothing to gain by joining a moribund ministry, he isnot likely to change his mind now. As already stated, however, there need be no hurry, as Parliament will not reas semble till January. Lord Salisbury will return to England from his new villa at Beaulieu, near Nice, earlv in November, and the matter will be settled at the Cabi net Council, which will be held upon the Premier's arrival in London. SALISBUBT KEPT BUST. The fact that Lord Salisbury remains in the Riviera is generally regarded as a sign of peace in Eurqps and indication that the situation in China is not believed to be dangerous. As a matter of factj the foreign Minister's vacation is a holiday only in name Queen's messengers, bearing chained fatchels crammed with documents, leave Downing street for Nice every day and almost as often for Scotland, where the Queen is Etill living. There are special wires to Balmoral and Beaulieu. and Minister and sovereign are practically in as close communication as they would be were Lord Salisbury in Lon don and the Qneen at Windsor. Neverthe less, the tact that Queen Victoria and her Prime Minister are separated by COO miles is comforting to peace-loving folks and enibarra&siiiff to war-scare mongers. The latter continue to raise their voices from time to time. A PKOrHET Or EYTI Despite manifold discouragements, a warning from the very latest prophet of fvil is given in the biggest type and the best position in to-day's semi-official fttmSard. He dates his letter from Bombay, and the burden of his complaint is of course Russian aggression in Asia. He points out that the presence of Russians on the Pamir is tantamount to the annexation of 22,000 i-quarc miles of Chinese territory and 10,000 Ffjuare miles of Afghan territory. More than this the Russians have within the last month had the stupendous audacitv to order two British officers off ground belonging to Sk ilj LAW. JVMfci. OrimiKlv Russian nrrr.n:n . i I checked, and Lord Salisbury will doubtless ask for an explanation, assuming the facts are correct, but the prophet disdains the slow methods of diplomancy. "The time has come," he says, "long though it has been procrastinated, when the supremacy of England in Asia must be once and for ail so firmly established that the tide which has flowed so steadily eastward throughout the last SO years may not only be checked but sent sweeping back to the Caspian. SOME BIG FIGHTE5Q TALK. ,rWe have in Lord Salisbury a Foreign Minister imbued with the highest traits of the national character, bold, brave and just; we have a navy the envy of the world, wo nave in j.uuitt ou aiiuj vnativ bujjenur in numbers, quality and organization to any that Russia can bring against us, under the command of and enthusiastically devoted to one of the ablest generals of the day. "We may never hit upon, such a fortunate era again." The prominence given to this inflamma tory appeal by a newspaper of repute like the Standard justifies the belief that the writer is a persen of importance. "Whoever he may be, he reflects very forcibly opin ions known to he held by the chief military and civil officers who form the Viceroy's cabinet and influence his court They are shared by an influential section of the "Governing classes" in this country and they will pre vail should the general election send the Tories back to power. As this contingency is admittedly remote, the war party in India will have to ease their feelings, as heretofore, by writing letters to the news papers. There is plenty of combustible material on the Indian frontiers, but the time has not yet come to fire it SUBPBISED AT BABOTJCHERE. Labouchere's article in the Forum on English royalty has attracted some atten tion here and has surprised many of his friends. He is generally supposed to be an acute observer, but the Forum article is not considered creditable to his power of observation. The idea that the march of British democracy will stop after the demo lition of the House of Lords and the Estab lish Church, is scouted as absurd, and the suggestion that that there is no strong feel ingln favor of a Republican form of govern ment in this country.is entirely unwarranted by tne tacts. 'The most advanced Republican weekly newspaper has an enormous and steadily in creasing circulation, and scores of news papers, net avowedly anti-monarchical, lose no opportunity of ridiculing the mem bers of the royal family and bringing the throne into contempt That these papers reflect the opinions of a very large con stituency is undeniable. AX OTJTCEY AGAINST VICTOR. Mr. Labouchere could have informed his American readers had he cared to do so, that the Parliamentary committee, of which Mr. Gladstone and he were members, was appointed in consequence of the loud popular outcry provided by the report that tne government intended to asK tne Mouse of Commons "to make suitable provision" for Prince Albert Victor, the eldest son of the Prince of "Wales. The very rumor of Euch an intention was immediately followed by a series of public meetings of protest, and the agitation quickly assumed such formidable proportions that Lord Salis bury's Gover iment, in the plentitude of its power, bad to yield. Prince Albert Victor is now 27 years of age, but he is still without an allowance from the publio treasury, and there are no signs of an intention on tne part of the Government to provoke another outbreak of popular rage by asking Parliament for money for any member of the royal family, nor must it be supposed that the feeling re ferred to is confined to the working classes. It has gained ground in recent years in a remarkable manner among the middle classes, and manifests itself in a variety of ways. botaxty's OCCUPATION GOSE. The time was when publio ceremonies, such as the opening of new parks and public buildings, were performed by members of the royal family whenever their presence could be secured, but nowadays the work is more often done by local notabilities. Only last night, for instance, the corporation of Stockton-on-Tees after a lively debate, in the course of which many unkind remarks were made about the royal family, rejected a motion requesting the Prince of "Wales to open the new park. It can't be denied that "God Save the Queen" is rarely played in public places without some demonstration of dissent, and Americans will remember the rough man ner in which the Prince of "Wales was handled over the Tranby Croft baccarat Ecandah No sensible person supposes that there is any imminent danger ot a repub lican revolution in England, hut, on the other hand, no serious student of British politics can fail to see that when the de mocracy shall have become strong enough to sweep away the Established Church and the House of Lords the throne will soon follow. THE FUNEEAI OF SMITH, X-ate Leader of the Commons, Slarked by the Severest Kind of Simplicity. CUT CABLE TO THE DISPATCH, LOXD02T, Oct 18. The funeral of Mr. Smith to-day was chiefly remarkable for its unostentatious display. It was simplicity in its severest degree. Mrs. Smith, a plain homely housewife, hating the vanities of the fashionable world, and desiring only to be left alone with her grief would have nothing to do with pomp or ceremony, but the proceedings were at times scarcely decorous. It was showing no .respect to the deceased leader to send his body off alone to the station without an escort of any kind, the hearse being driven by a man who not long 6ince did six months' hard labor for bribery and corruption, wnereDy tne Dorougn ot sand wich was disfranchised. Neither was it particularly decent to have the coffin hustled intd a railway siding by a couple of porters, assisted by the afore said corrupter of the British voter, and landed on a freight trucU with all the signs of its agricultural uses attached to it, and prominently labeled "Available for any weight up to five tons." At Hambleden, where the body was interred, the scene was pathetic. A few of the deceased's col leagues attended, but the majority of the politicians and diplomats attended a me morial service at "Westminster Abbey, where "Old Morality's" virtues received the testimony to which they were entitled.

CLAEKS IN THE PEN. Two of Fred Fitzsimmons' Accom plices Begin to Serve Their Time. H EAVT SENTENCES FOR HOMICIDES JIow the Extensive Work of the Criminal Court Is Being Pushed. TEIAL LISTS FOE THE COMING WEEK. "When the Criminal Court opened yester day for the purpose of imposing sentences on those convicted, the first case called was that of the Clarks, husband -and wife, con victed of complicity in the robberies com mitted by Fitzsimmons. Judge Slagle, who tried the cases, passed sentence. Clark was given two years to the penitentiary, one each on two counts, the second being acces sory after the fact to Gilkinson's murder. His wife was given three years. Judge Blagle said the jury had recommended mercy in her case, but ha could not see why more mercy should be shown a criminal woman than a criminal man. Her husband had the benefit, he said, of having proved a previ ous good character. Mrs. Clark, on her way to the penitentiary later, in company with Detectives Fitzgerald and Robinson, told them that it would be useless to prose cute a further search for Fitzsimmons, as he had left the country and was safe out of it The husband and wife were handcuffed to gether in the street car, and, when very near the building at Riverside, Mrs. Clark said she "guessed she would take the cuffs off," and, suiting the action to the word, Blippedthem off over her delicate little hands. The officers smiled and made no at tempt to replace them, and Mrs. Clark, con tinuing, said: "Now I wish my lover would come along and rescue me from you peo ple." The "Jover'howeverfailed to appear ' and tne couple were sately landea in tne penitentiary. There were several heavy sentences im posed by Jufee Ewing during the morning session. He refused motions for new trials in three murder cases. In that of Michael Maloney, convicted of killing Austin L. Reed, at Ross' Grove, the Court refused to believe the statement that Juror Laeng ex pressed a desire before the trial to nang the defendant Maloney was given 12 years, and the Juie said he hoped ne would live in a manner to atone for his crime. The motions for new trials in the cases of J ames Stewart and John Tierney, for the murder of their respective wives, by throwing burning lamps at them were also refused. Stewart was given 12 years also, and Tierney ten, his offense not being considered quite so cold, blooded as Stewart's. Another heavy sentence was imposed on George, alias "Snakes" Anderson, a bur glar, arrested by Patrolman Neumar, of Al legheny, with a lot of his tools in a dinner bucket He was found guilty of burglariz ing an East End residence. Judge Ewing gave bim ten years. Bertram Epps, for larceny, got eight months, Mike Sweeny 90 days and Harry Bollinger 30 days for like offenses, all to the workhouse. Anton Sanso got 90 days for entering a building; John Kelly, four months for betrayal, and "William Allen was fined $50 and costs for aggravated as sault and battery. Patrick Fitzpatrick and Mrs. Fitzsim mons were not sentenced pending argument for new trials. Testlnc Drummers' Tax Law.

The McElfresh Case Bobs Up Once More Three New Divorce Suits Filed A Man Whose Wife la a Believer in Whole sale Matrimony. A case which runs away back, that of Mrs. McElfresh against her husband, Dr. James McElfresh, one laid in both "Wash ington and Allegheny counties, was taken out and dusted off in the Quarter Sessions Court before Judge McClung yesterday. James H. Smith supported the doctor, as usual, and Mr. "Wise, of "Wise and Minor, looked after Mrs. McKlfresh's interests, and called nearly a dozen witnesses, nve of whom wero women. Mrs. McElfresh was also supported by the infantry of the dis gruntled family. No sooner had the order forward been given than a fire was opened almost simul taneously along the entire line, both law yers and clients participating, Mr. Wise holding that the woman must he taken care of, and Mr. Smith offer ing to prove that the doctor had provided a house for his wife, according to Judge Sloagle's order, and that she had re- luscu to go into it. xo tnis airs. Mcnuresn responded that there was nothingfin the house that belonged to the doctor, rather appearing to intimate that It was some sort ot a job set up on her. Mr. Wise next stated that the Doctor was living with another woman, and to this Mr. Smith responded that Mrs. McElfresh was living with another man, and both sides ex pressed more or less ability to make their assertions good. Finally Mr. Smith retired, face to the foe, with his client, to the order of Judge Slagle made soma months ago, and behind this breastwork tney stood defiantly and in se curity for the time being. Judge McClung Anally decided that he wonld not entertain the case, but allow it to be finished by Judge Slagle. Three new divorce suits were entered yesterday. Attorney Joseph Brlel filed the suit of Henry Nuhn against Georgia "Nuhn. They were married May 10, 1688, and separ ated December 9, 1830.

There was a report current in Pittsburg yesterday morning to the effect that the oil town of McDonald was burning. It was occasioned by the burning of a small pool of oil in Bobb's Bun, which passes through the business portion of McDonald. The fire was in a very dangerous locality, and for a short time it was feared that a dis astrous conflagration might ensue. No buildings were burned and none were damaged. The quantity of oil consumed would not exceed eight or ten barrels. This Bhows that the danger of a fire in the bor ough is greater now than it has ever been before, owing to the increase in the quantity of escaping oil which is running through the town.

STORY OP THE F0XT0WN C0SSPIEACT rcosaxsrosDrxcz op the dispatch. Richmond, Ky., Oct 11. HE life of General Cassius M. Clay has been one of constant fighting. Kentucky has always been a hot blooded State. Here a word is always fol lowed by a blow and an insnlt has to be wiped out in death. Lile is of less ac count here than in the North, and it was of still less value in the days of Gener al Clay's youth,near ly two generations ago. It is 60 years now since he delivered the "Washington Cen tennial oration at Tale College, in which he espoused tha cause of the negro and became the most hated man in Kentucky among the slave holders. All his life he has had to fight for his ideas, and the stories of his personal en counters read like a romance. It was dur ing the latter part of my visit at "White Hall" this week while we were sitting ona evening before the coals of his library fire, that I drew General Clay on to talk or some of these fights, and I could almost see the combats in the coals as in cool but graphic , language he brought them back from the memories of the past. Said he: THEASHED BY HIS BROTHER. "Z have never courted trouble with any one, but I have never gone'out of the way to avoid it I have had a number of en counters and I have neVer been whipped in my life except by my mother and by my elder brother. I remember the first anil only whipping I got from my brother. Ho was older than I was and a great deal stronger, and I was accustomed to tease him and play tricks upon him, until one day we were out trimming some trees in the or chard. The trees were rather high and my brother had made a little ladder to enable him to get up into them. He took one row of trees and I took another, audi would put away his ladder and take it over to my row, so that he had to jump down and get it when he wanted to go to anew tree.
