BRITISH EOrALTT IN GREAT DISPATOE
IBT CABLE TO THE DISPATCH.
LOXDOU, Oct. 10. CopyngMed. 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.

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.

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.

MATRIMONIAL MISFITS.
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.

Company, Nos. 3021 and 3023, the Liberty
Machine Company, No. 3023, and Charles

yesterday morning. The flames broke
out in the blacksmith shop
about 3 o'clock and soon communicated t o
the other structures. The firemen were con
siderably hampered In their work by a
heavy fog. Mr. Dixon, in whose place the
blazetarted, is certain there was no fire
left there over night and cannot understand
how it originated. Tho incendiary theory"
is given pretty general credence.
The three buildings are almost complete

J60,000, only a part of which is covered by
insurance. The Pittsburg Collar Company

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.
KAOTMAlOfS' store will be closed to
morrow, and the great clothing exposition
will commence Tuesday morning. Every
body invited.

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.
"He objected several times. Notwith
standing this, I still kept at it, and ha
caught me and threw me down and whipped
me with some of the long sprouts ortnm-
