1ST CABUC TO THE DISTA.TCH.3 "
X.OSDOK, Oct 24. Copyricbt. There
Is reason to believe that Mr. Gladstone has
cemmitted to paper an outline of his home
mle scheme, which is in the form of a mani
festo snd is to be issued upon the eve of the
general election. In some respects the
scheme is more li' eral to Ireland than that
which won approval of Parnell and it will
undoubtedly be accepted by all reasonable
Irishmen.
5Ir. Gladstone, who is in excellent health,
will remain at Hawarden until the first
week in December. He will then proceed
to London, to take part in the great confer
ence on land law refom and immediately
afterward will start for Italy on asix
weeks holidav.
The newspapers and politicians in Eng
land have jumrrd to the conclusion that
John Bedmnnd lias been actually chosen
leader of the Parue'.lite faction. This is
inaccurate, though it is quite likely that he
will be selected.
IToTr ifae Mfot&tte OccarroJ.
The mistake has arisen through ths mis
interpretation of O'Kelly's recent speech
at Cork. He told the Cork people that by
supporting Redmond they would be sup
porting, in his opinion, the man who would
be the leader of the future Irish party.
Kedmond has net been selected leader,
though he conies forward as the party
champion to content Cork.
The fight in Parnell's old constituency
will be a bitter one. The Irish patriotic
leaders arc immensely amused at the
rumored selection of John Redmond to suc
ceed Parnell, the difference between the two
men being regarded a about equal to that
separating the sparrow from the cas;le!
People who are acquainted with the char
acters of Bedmond and his colleagues scout
ths idea that he will be able to maintain
discipline or keep his men together for any
leagth of time.
2so official announcement has been made
respecting the new Irish Secretary, but it is
pretty certain that the prize has been
secured by Mr. Jackson. The proposal to
present Mr. Balfour with a testimonially
these who could see no shortcomings in him
as Irish Secretary is making rapid headway,
and Miss Balfour is now joined in the pro
ject. ,
Ttalfonr Will Xot Decline.
Tie Unionists declare solemnly that Bal
four is the best Secretary Ireland has ever
known, and from their particular standpoint
they are probably right. Balfour will not.
It is understood, decline this mark of popu
lar approval, but will in all probability
devote the proceeds to some charitable or
educational purpose.
Mr. Balfour having been promoted to the
leadership of the Housj of Commons, has
temporarily abandoned the frivolties of
golf playing, and has been making a series
of speeehei upon religions, educational, na
tional defense and other weighty matters,
which were not considered within hi4 scope
when Irish Secretary Last night, by way
ef showing his versatility, he made a long
political speech at Bury, and to-day he has
delivered several orations at Accrlngton.
Mr Balfour's speech on national defense
has set the naval and military optimists
and pessimists by the ears, and undeniably
has greatly interested the country. It can
not have proved pleasing to Mr. Stanhope,
Secretary for "War, who loses no oppor
tunity of assuring everybedy that every,
thing in his department is as strong and
beautiful and symmetrical as it should be,
and the taxpayer gets full value for his
saeney.
Not a Good Oatlo ok for Harmony.
The fact that Mr. Balfour, within a week
of his appointment to the leadership, should
venture to sit in judgment on his colleagues,
does not augur well for harmony at the
forthcoming Cabinet councils, or for the
smooth working of governmental machinery
in the House of Commons, but the action is
quite characteristic of the man. The chief
point in the speech related to the condition
of the volunteer force, which is supposed to
furnish 00,000 men as a second line of de
fense, but this unique body has been
steadily detcnoriating of late years, due
to "War Office snubs and neglect. Fewer
men Join, and their physique is inferior to
that ot their predecessors. Many regiments,
perhaps the majority, have been kept to
gether solely by the energy and liberality
of their officers, who, however( are retiring
In large numbers, disgusted with the man
ner in which they are treated by the War
Office, and tired of providing out of their
own pockets the money which should come
out of the National Exchequer. It is evi
dent Mr. Balfour has decided that some
remedy Ehall be found for this scandalous
state of things. As a matter ot fact the
cure will require a thorough reorganization
of the War Department and the spending
of a large amount of money.
A Qnestlon Agltatlnj Politicians.
The question wliich the politicians are
asking one another just now is, should Mr.
Balfour, before starting out to alarm the
country, consult the Secretary of "War and
the Chancellor of the Exchequer upon a sub
ject in which thev are directly concerned,
and with which he had no departmental
connection or responsibility.
The success of the Labor party in Kew
South "Wales has inflamed the imaginations
of British workmen to such an extent that
elready there is loud talk of the manner in
which the spoils shall be divided when the
Torr and Liberal parties shall have been dis
ciplined into the obedient slaves of the sons
of toil. It has been decided by the London
Trades Council to form a labor representa
tion league, for the purpose of returning
workingmen to Parliament, and to form
them, when there, into a compact, inde
pendent party, but it has been found im
poviiIe to decide how the necessary funds
:or defraying ths costs of elections and pay
ing the salaries of members shall be raised.
The members of the council would not lis
ten to the self-denying proposal for making
an annual levy on every trade unionist, and
two or three even ventured to express
doubts as to whether the game was -worth
the candle. The Toluntary effort in this di
rection has heretofore failed miserably.
A Fund for Buret' Ejection Expenie.
It is true that some of the members are
paid salaries, but they represent particular
industries, and receive nionev direct from
the rich union treasury. When .John
Burns -was elected by the Battcrsea Ead
icals and Socialists to represent them in the
London county council, they guaranteed
him a modest wage of 2 weekly the duties
preventing him irom pursuing his trade as
a mechanic, but their enthusiasm soon
cooled. The salary fell into arrears, and
finally appeals for assistance had to be made
through tfiejiress to Radicals outside the
constituency. At the present moment they
are laboriously accumulating a fund to pay
Burns' election expenses next year., as a
Parliamentary candidate, and the workmen
have been so niggardly that money has
been thankfully accepted even from bloated
capitalists. In these circumstances the
only practicable method seems to be the
general and systematic levy in every trade,
and as that has been rejected, there is no
immediate prospect of a labor party, prop
erly so called, in the British House of Com

GHAIfTED THE FREEDOM OF THE CUT

A Protest Against the Honor That "Was Un

Leader of an Orchestra Popular Clamor
Xowhere.
fBT CABLE TO THE DISPATCH.!
Lokdok, Oct. 24. Queen "Victoria's sec
ond son, the Duke of Edinburgh, who is
married to the Czar's sister, is the most un
popular of the English princes. It is al
most a misnomer to call him an English
man, for although an admiral in the British
navy, he speaks with a strong German ac
cent and spends as much time as he can in
Coburg, to the dukedom of whioh he is heir.
He is notoriously of a parsimonious disposi
tion, and although rich, his name rarely fig
ures in the lists of charitable subscriptions.
He is a first-rate musician, however, is a
member of the Royal Orchestral Society,
and plays the fiddle welL
During the winter musical season anyone
by paying for admission to Albert Hall
may enjoy the felicity of seeing the royal
Duke scraping awav in the midst of a crowd
of quite ordinary fiddlers, a sight which is
not edifying to the eyes of ultra-Loyalists.
The Duke being about to visit Bristol In his
private character as a musician, to play his
beloved fiddle at a publio concert in that
ancient pity, and as some 20 vearsago
Bristol diseraced itself bv hissing the Prince
of Wales when he attended a local agricul
tural show, tho Loyalists determined to
expiate the former misdeed by presenting
the freedom of the city to the Duke, but
distrusting their constituents the members
of the Town Council kept their designs
secret until the last moment. Their inten
tion was prematurely divulged, however,
and a strong popular agitation against it
was immediately commenced.
A Committee of Protest was formed,
meetings were held, and resolutions passed
denouncing the local servility and the
fiddling prince with almost eqnal vehe
mence. One meeting formally condemned
"those who would sully by their servile con
duct the city honor by conferring the free
dom on an unworthy subject, and at
another this motion was passed impiously
and a copy ordered senCto the duke: "That
the bestowal of such an honor for heredi
tary reasons marks the servility of those
who confer it, makes such an honor mean
ingless, tends to perpetuate unjust privj
legeSj and does incalculable injury to the
growing democracy."
Despite the popular clamor, the Town
Council passed a resolution to confer the
freedom upon the Duke, and there was
even defiant talk of entertaining him at a
civic luncheon. The Prince of "Wales, In
such circumstances, would have found a
graceful excuse for canceling the visit and

however, has shown that he is not afflicted
with such absurd scruples. He visited Bris
tol yesterday, and was invested with the
honor of citizenship in the presence of a
carefully selected audience of men and
women of cuaranteed lovalty. No un
toward incident marred the proceedings,
either at the presentation meeting in the
afternoon or at the evening concert, at
which the Duke led the orchestra In the
performance of Haydn's "Creation."

London, Oct 24. The Prince ot Wales
will' celebrate his 60th birthday November
9. There is to be a great family gathering
at Saudringham, and according to present
indications the mansion will not be large
enough to hold the presents of which the
Prince will be the happy recipient
Kaiser Wilhelm's gift is said to
be worth 100,000 marks, and it
will be presented by Prince Henry of
Prussia an arrangement probably intended
to convince the world that uncle and
nephew are now the best of friends. The
Prince of Wales is really in some respects
a hardly used man. He has been on
his very best behavior since the
baccarat scandal, opening schools
and churches and charitable in
stitutions by the dozens, making pretty
inoffensive speeches, and generally resum
ing the role of "Albert Edward the Good."
Last Monday, for instance, he attended tho
celebration of the centenary of the London
Veterinary College, and favored the com
pany with someharraless platitudes about
dogs and horses being the -friends of man,
and so on.
Everybody thought he acquitted himself
with great credit.but to-day the newspapers
give space to a letter from some fierce anti
vivisectionist who denounces the Prince as
a hypocrite, because, forsooth, he presided
a couple of years ago over a meeting in
honor of Pasteur, "who caused hundreds
of dogs to die in agonies of rabies," and
some time afterward "allowed his honored
mother to receive at Osborne, without a
word of warning, such vivisectors as Mon
sieur Chauveau, who has sawn across the
backbones of 80 living horses and asses."
The Prince may be excused for thinking
that it is very hard to please some people,
and possibly, for regretting that there is
evidently one living ass whose backbone
has not been operated upon.

London, Oct 24, The Prince of Wales

The Earl has an immense income,.derived

SEITTEX0E3 IMPOSED BY THE C0UET
Notwithstanding the bubbling humor
elicited by the investigation of the record
of family disagreements In the Criminal
Court yesterday, the proceedings were, dur
ing a part of the session, quite somber and
manv spectators were visibly affected as
some of the more grave criminals came to
the bar for sentence. The room was densely
packed at 11 o'clock wlien Judge Ewing
came in to pronounce sentence on
trio of persons convicted of murder.
Daniel Keardon was the first called to the
bar. He is only a boy, but has a bad record
behind him and Judge Ewing gave with the
sentence a written opinion whioh he did not
A t.t wMih contained the eist of what
he said orally. He referred to the recom
mendation of the jury to mercy which ac
companied its verdict of murder in the
second degree and said such recommenda
tion was usually entitled to great weight
and received full consideration by the
Court, but in this case His Honor felt con
strained to ignore the recommendation and
put on record the reasons therefor.
JfO CACXi rOE MJTS MEKCT.
He opined that the recommendation to
mercy was based on the prisoner's youth, 17
years. His intention to fire the shot that
killed Martin Mislevy was shown by the
testimony and the pretense that the shoot
ing was accidental was about as palpable a
falsehood as could be Invented to deceive a
jury, and had the jury found that
he had shot Mislevy with specifio
intent because the latter had threatened
to inform the police of the thefts
of the accused. It would not have been a
strained conclusion from the evidence.
Judge Ewing. next referred to the unfortu

coolly. . . , . .
District Attorney Burleigh next moved
for judgment on Patrick Fitzpatrick, con
victel of murder in the first degree for the
killing of Samuel Early on the night of
September 2. In response to the usual in
terrogatory as to whether he had anything
to say, Fitzpatrick in a tremulous voice re
plied that he did not know what occurred
on the night in question. On the
trial he had been charged with be
ing a tramp, and had he had money
he could have proven that he had been a
hard-working, honest resident of the city
for seven years. Whisky got the best of
me, though, and whisky did the deed I am
here to answer for. I am orry I did it, and
that is all I can say.

Next District Attorney Burllegh moved
for sentence on Lucy B, Fitzsimmons, the
wife of the jail breaker. She was con
victed of murder in the second degree, the
murdered man being Detective Gilklnson.
She still still preserved her dramatic de
meanor. She was dressed all in black and
used her umbrella as a cane, though she did
not seem to have any need for it "When
asked by the Judge what she had to say she
replied.
"I am innocent of this crime, as God is
my witness. I never knew those men were
coming or what they were there for."
Judge Ewing said; "I pity yon," and she
bowed her head gracefully in acknowledge
ment. His Honor then continued thatne
saw no reason to grant a new trial, and that
the verdict of the jury was proper,
and ended by pronouncing an eight
year sentence in the "Western Penitentiary.
The sentence seemed to paralyze the
woman for a time, but recovering she started
for the jail with her attorney, Mr. Marshall
and Deputy Sheriff Young. Before reach
ing the door she turned and faced the
audience and said:

"Ah my husband is free. Oh, to God
that he may have sense enough to remain

Then waving her hands hysterically, she
cried. "Yes. he is free: he is freel" As she

leading to the bridge over Rogtstfeet, she
could be heard shrieking, "God, oh God!
have mercy on me, for these people will
not" This raving changed to curses pro

Jack Borden, who gained such notoriety
through the fact that Mayor Gourlev inter
ceded for him out of sympathy for his aged
mother, was sentenced to five years in the
penitentiary on two charges of larceny and
burglary.
Other sentences Imposed were as follows:
Jacob Booker, larceny and burglary, five
years to penitentiary) Peter Dugan, on the
same charge, received a like sentence;
Bartley Costello, manslaughter, six years

Though the audienoe, as a rule, felt that

extreme.

YOUNG HOPKINS" NOT ON THE STAND
Baiem, MASS., Oct 24. At the opening
of the day's hearing on the Senrles will
this morning Mr. Burley began the cross
examination of General Hubbard. Witness
had thought and still thinks that the co
partnership papers were perfectly legal and
valid under the law of New York. Witness
did not know whether Mrs. Searles ever
had independent legal advice before signing
the papers.
There was never any secret agreement to
drop the name of Searles from the co-partnership.
It was done at the request of Mr.
Searles. After Mrs. Searles death, notice
was sent to certain corporations that the
firm owned the stock formerly in the name of
Mrs. Searles. There bad never been any at
tempt at secrecy as to the co-partnership.
Once at St' Paul witness had declined to
give the derails to Timothy, telling him he
preferred him to get them from his mother.
If witness, and Mr. Stillman had refused
to allow Mrs. Searles to draw out 6ecnrities
as they desired their remedy would be by
suit on equity for breach of contract or for
dissolution of co-partnership. During the
past three years witness had spent half his
time nt thn office in the Mills building.
Mr. Bnrlev then called for the books of
the co-partnership, which were prod ced.
Witness continued that there was a pro
vision in the articlesfqr the continuance of
the co-partnership after the death of one of
the parties. There had been some transfers
of real estate In California direct from Mrs.
Searles to the parties since the deeds were
executed to Mr. Searles.
Witnesswas then examined on the cash
book of the firm. The income had always
been about the minimum, averaging about
$8,000,000. There had been no drafts on the
principal by either parties. Mr. Stillman,
in 1888, when they met Timothy in St Paul,
endeavored to dissuade him from going
East x
Witness' income before the formation of
this co-partnership was about $45,000 a year,
but by agreement with the firm of Butler,
Hubbard & Stillman after his own income
from them was decreased 528,000, and Mr.
Stillman's was also decreased, while' the in
terest of the junior artner was increased.
Counsel stated that the $25,000 charged by
Butler, Hubbard & Stillman was tor ser
vices rendered prior to the formation of the
co-partnership.
Mr. Burley stated that later he shonld
desire to put on evidence authorities as to
New Yore law in regard to contracts be
tween husband and wife. In some of the
t ransfers o California property, both Mr.
and Mrs. Searles signed. The telegiam
from Timothy had" nothing to do with the
execution of the powers of attorney.
Mr. Lincoln here rested his case, and Mr.
Burley asked if they had nt summoned
Timothy Hopkins as a witness, and to pro
duce all letters from his mother and Gen
eral Hubbard, replied that he believed
such summons had been issued, but he was
not In charge of the caso.
This closed the great case, and Judge
Endicott stated they were content to com
mit it Judge Harmon then stated he
should sustain the will, ana Mr. Burley
gave notice of appeal.

Washington, Oct 24. Mrs. Harrison
has had her quiet broken pleasantly enough
during the present week by a dinner party
and mnsicale on Wednesday evening and
the reception to the Presbyterian Synod on
the following night The President's
fellow worshipers tried his patience
just a bit that evening, for
the Synod held its usual session
and did not reach the Executive Mansion
until nearly 10 o'clock. The President and
Mrs. Harrison usually expect gatherings of
this kind to arrive at 9, and they had along
time to wajtbefore these guests came, but
not having se) a precise hour, there was ab
solutely nobauy to blame, and the reception
lost nothinin pleasure to anyone.
At the dinner party on Wednesday even
ing the President and Mrs. Harrison had
the pleasure of having Mrs. Wilmerding,
daughter of Secretary Tracy, dine with
them. It was her first appearance at any
social occasion since she went into mourning
after the terrible catastrophe to the Tracy
family, two years ago.
The giving ot large entertainments Is each
year becoming more systematized, and little
conferences are already being held by the
ladies holding that balance of power, as to
how and when to start the ball going again.
It has been suggested by one prominent

The kindest of' messages, borne by th
kindest of friends, was the warrant for my
visit to Hamilton Fish. I had not seen him
since taking leave In 1882, on my departure)
for3hina. I knew him well in other days,
knew his noble, modest work In national
achievement .1 knew, likewise, that Grans
leaned heavily upon him and believed in
in him as he did in no other man. To Grant
he was the nearest counsellor in statesman
ship, friend in personal relations, choica
for the Presidency in succession to himself.
"History," as I have heard Grant say,
"wiU write that we have had two great
Secretaries of State Governor Marcy and
Governor Fish."
When history Is written history rather
than clamor or newspaper suggestions and
cnroniclings this, I think, will be the ver
dict My own experience with the secret
archives of the American Legation in
China, where I read so much of the diplo
matic history which never comes to light,
gave me an increased admiration for tha
genius, the patriotism, the painstaking in
dustry of Governor Fish. And it was with
a sentiment even above that of friendship,
the homage commanded by merit and faie,
and long honorable years given to the pub
lic well are, that I took his kind and gracious
hand.
HOME OT HAMILTON FISH.
The Governor sits on his revolutionary
hillside and looks down upon that wonder
ful world of the Hudson Highlands. Down
that hillside path, over which tbe dogs ars
scampering, within a biscuit throw of this
porch where we sit, Benedict Arnold made his
mad mornins ride from his breakfast table,
treason discovered wife in despair, Wash
ington expected from Hartford, Hamilton
and Lafayette, gay young military blades,
in wonder at the sudden farewell. Thee,
too, in that very plain on the other bank,
where young gentlemen in gray, West Point
cadets, are spirited hither and thitherto'
bugle note and drum beat, are memories of
later days. Lee and Johnston and Sher
man, Jefferson Davis, Stonewall Jackson,
Sheridan and Grant-you may see their
phantoms in imagination, even on this plain,
where they ,learned the stern duties whosa
performance was to win immortal Jame.
No one spot on this continent so dowered
with historical associations as this d?os.i
which the secretary gazes frorathe saei-,
The Secretary sits in his hillside heme-;
and looks even as the laborer en joying his
rest after the day's sore task. He is an old
man He was born in 1808, the same year
as Andrew Johnson, some weeks before)
