The Gladstonians have won another "moral vic tory" in the East Dorset election to-day, in tpite of the fact that drunkenness and cor ruption brought about a majority for the Tory candidate. Stuart, the son of Lord Arlington, wins by a majority of 517 vote? over the Liberal candidate, while in, 1S86 the Tory majority over Hume was C55 as against a Liberal majority ot 69" in 18S5, when Glyn was elected. The Liberals claim that the registration has of late been entirely neglected in East Ttorset, and that there have been nfany com plaints by Liberal workingmen who Have bea unable to get their names on the vot ing list, Nevertheless, some of the best Liberal speech.es of the campaign and some excellent work have triumphed over the ruffianism in public and the intimidation in private which has made this little borough a close Tory preserve in past years. A Recover- on the IrUli Question. There has been a general recovery, so far J political opinion on the Irish question is concerned, of the position before 18S6. The loss on registration, organization and by general neglect has neutralized this to some extent, and the raising of the temperance question by ilr. Glyn brought a powerful factor against him. Last night the town Was full of drunken people, and the Liber als said their only chance of a victory was that the rowdy clement would get too drunk to vote. The Tory caucus at Birmingham has been a most humorous piece of theatrical hum bus. There was no genuine ring about the performance from first to last. The discus sion in regard to the Irish Government bill wbich the Government is pledged to intro duce was a beautifully gotten-up perform ance. The delegates clamored that the En glish demands were the most pressing, that the position of the agricultural laborer required redress, and other English griev ances called for adjustment Therefore Ire land should wait Ilovr Protection Beat Tree Trade. The Tories have no scats to lose in Ire land; they have plenty to lose in England. The same tactics were pursued with the resolution which embodies the protectionist idea. Although Lord Salisbury had spoken 1 strongly for free trade the previous night the protection resolution was carried. Then Salisbury, speaking again, hinted that the injustice ot the new taiiff regulations which told so hardly upon British commercial Interests and upon the working classes might Irom the very weight of outside pressure drive the Government to take some steps. It was an effort to catch the votes of those manufacturers and work people who are hurt by the McKinley tariff, and who are sore enough to catch at anything which promises redress. The most interesting event at the Tory fathering, however, was the appearance of Lord Salisbury and Joseph Chamberlain on the same platform. Chamberlain was ap parently carried away by his surroundings, and threw over his own friends completely. Chamberlain's Attack on Gladstone. "The gulf has widened and deepened," he raid, "now. I neither look for nor desire reunion." Thereupon there was great cheer ing and waving of handkerchiefs. Then Chamberlain let himself loose, referring to the Grand Old Man as a veiled prophet, and speaking of the policy of his former colleagues as a vile con spiracy, with all the zeal of a renegade. But to those who in the old days admired Chamberlain's sterling qualities before his lust for a peerage was known it was a saddening spectacle. There was a nit of pathos in his remarks that the Con servatives and Dissentients had together suffered reverses which carried the sugges tion that he felt the reverses were not all over. Mr. Chamberlain's speech to-day con trasted with what he said at a meeting in "Wiltshire in October, 1885, and which is very curious reading. He then said: ITow Salisbury Used to Talk. "I think I have answered Lord Salis bury's challenge. He talks, forsooth, of dishonest tactics, and he compels me to say that never in the history of this country was there a more flagrant instance of political immorality than this shameless conversion of the great bulk ot the Tory party, accomplished in a few years in order to purchase a few months of place without power, and of office without honor." On the following day Lord Salisbury, at Brighton, replied in these pleasant terms: "I will divide Jlr. Chamberlain's charges into two heads. The first head comprises those that are not true. The second head those that are founned on the monstrous as sumption that it is our duty to break the promises of our predecessors as soon as we get into office." IQUIVALEKT TO A YICTOBT. The Archbishop or Alx Being KapldlySIade a Hero of. rBT CAULS TO THE DISPATCH. 3 Loktkbt, Nov. 28. Although the Arch bishop of Aiz has not been acquitted, as he confidently expected, he can have but little reason to complain. The comparatively small fine of 3,000 francs, without any term of imprisonment, is little short of a victory for him. The money will be subscribed for him and much more beside. Indeed, the the judgment against him is just enough to gain him the martyr's crown in the eyes of the emotional French people, though doubtless the clericals would have reaped a greater harvest had the Arch bishop been sentenced to a few weeks' im prisonment Still, he is now a hero. Let ters and telegrams of congratulation, massive bouquets and floral crosses and the choicest fruits fill his apartments. Offers of assist ance are plentiful, one rich Catholic ex pressing bis willingness to subscribe 20,000 francs toward building a "new convent for the Fetites Socur des P&uvres, an institu- tion in which the Archbishop takes great interest These numerous tokens of sympathy have emboldened the Archbishop so much that he threatens to set the Government at de fiance and go to Borne whenever, he rileases. Possibly his ardor will cool on reflection, but if lie carries out his intention, the French Government cannot overlook it without" stultifying itselt. Consequently all moderate men are of the opinion that the original prosecution was a mistake, and this is now shown by the Government being driven into a prosecution of the ffgaro for raising the fund to pay the Arch bishop's fine, a step which will probably force another series of prosecutions. HOW LORD LYTTON DIED. Tnn FAMED UTEKATKCtt PASSED ATT AT PEN IN HAND. He Hart Been Writing Versus AH the Morn ing Distinguished Personages Attend the Obsequies at Paris A TVreath Prom Whitelaw Beld. fET CABLE TO THE DISrATCff.l Loitdcw, Xov. 28. The version ot the death of Lord Lytton given the great De Blowitz, "our own correspondent" in Paris of Ihe London 'Times, is said to be the cor rect one, though there seems to be no good reason why the newspaper stories should differ. De Blowitz describes the event thus: "All the morning Lord Lytton had been writing verses in bed. The morphia taken to ally the pain had doubtless inflamed his imagination, and his mental activity seemed hourly increasing. About 4 o'clock, just as Lady Lytton had entered th e adjoin ing room and was taking off her cloak, Lord Lytton asked her valet to give him some carminative, a mixture which he took to allay pains in the side. He was continuing to write. The valet went for the mixture and while turning to the window to pour out a dose he heard a slight noise, looked round and saw Lord Lytton dead. The ink was not dry on the sheet of paper and the last line was unfinished. Such a death was charac teristic The poet struck down, pen in hand, after a morning in which the diplo mats had listened to the report of the Em bassy Secretarv." To-day De Blowitz writes: "I have had the melancholy satisfaction of looking on the mortal remains of Lord Lytton. The body lay on a plain iron bedstead, a crown of laurels placed at its head. Close at hand were a few books, among them a volume of Tennyson which he had been reading in the morning to Lady Lytton and the sheet of paper on which he was writing at the moment of his death. I have never looked upon a dead face co im pressive in its calm. It is that of a man who has done his work and has entered into eterLity without fear." The fact that Lord Lytton was reading Tennyson the morning "of his death has called to mind the celebrated quarrel in verse between the first Lord Lytton and the Laureate, and the PaK Mali Gazette has created some feelinjr, bv republishing Tennyson's bitter lines which he never in cluded in his works. When Tennyson was placed on the pension list in 1815 considerable jealousy was aroused in certain literary circles and among the critics of the pension was Bulwer Lytton, who, in "The JTevr Timon, a Romance of London, spoke of "School iliss Alfred." Tennyson retaliated in scornful verses entitled" "The New Timon and the Poets," which were published in Punch, in which he refers to Lytton as "the padded man who wears the stars." The obsequies at Paris to-day brought together averv distinguished assemblage. The Hon. "Whitelaw Reid,the American Minister to France, sent a beautiful wreath, which was placed upon the bier. Mr. Eeid was present at the funeral-services. All the Ministers of State we're also pres ent President Carnot was represented by General Brugere.

The German view of M. de Giers' visit to France and Germany is expressed by the StrassburyertPost, which is an inspired Government organ. Naturally the article is attracting much attention. It is as follows: M. do Glen Is a sharp old gentleman, and has learned from Prince Bismarck. Ue takes advantage of his Journev to kill several birds with one stone. His' flrst object is to keep France on the line, his second to con ciliate the feeling in Central Europe to Eussla. It has been stated that the finan cial crisis in Russia has compelled the Gov ernment to enter into economic negotia tions with Germany, and certain proposals were said to bo already on the wav. Well, M. de Giers is also on his way. Wiil he find open ears in Berlin? It is very likely that he will be treated with the great est amiability, but he will most certainly not reap any great advantage for Bussia from this visit The threatening war preparations and disturbances of trade of which Bussia is guilty, and the numerous unpaid visits of the Czar to the Berlin Im perial Court, f oi m a chain of hostile facta which are a dead weight on poor M. de Giers, who has nothing to expect In Berlin unless a most improbable thing happens, namely, that Bussia should say plainly, "Pater peccavl," and stop all her hostile undertakings. Should Russia put an end to her military preparations and apply heibelf in peace to the solution of her domestic dif ficulties then perhaps an economic under standing may be thought ot.

Balfour, First Lord of the Treasury, has arrived here from Glasgow, which city he visited for the purposj of being installed as Bcctor of the University of -Glasgow. He attended a conservative meeting to-day and made an address which was enthusiastically received. In the course of his remarks, referring to Ire land, he said he believed that Great Britain would never again see "a gigantio agrarian conspiracy, fed by American funds, raise its head in Ireland. He did not believe that again would be seen anything like the obstruction and de fiance "formerly thrown into the teeth of the British Parliament by a few Irish representatives. Mr. Balfour added that he hoped the country had fin ally successfully emerged from its greatest difficulties. All that Ireland now wanted, he declared, was a firm, liberal and kindly government If only Mr. Gladstone ab stained from advocating impossible legisla tive remedies, Mr. Balfour was confident that a permanent cure of Irish troubles was affected.. At the Glasgow meeting Mr. Balfour said that no matter what the future might bring forth it would never bring home rule to Ireland. K4.KT UHfEBS HA.Y STRIKE.

The men employed in mines there are at present paid on a sliding scale, prepared and agreed to by representatives of mine owners and the men.

IMPORTANT CAPTORE BT A GOOD LO.OEING ENGLISHMAN. A Much-Wanted New Tork Crook Bun Down by a Scotland Tara Detective Details or the Arrest of Tom O'Brien Another Man Taken In. BT CABLE TO THC DtSFATCH.1 LONDON, Nov. 28. During the last two or three weeks guests of the Metropole and Victoria hotels have had an opportunity to make the acquaintance of a good-looking young Englishman dressed in the height of London fashion, who has been hanging abont the smoking rooms of the two hostelries, apparently with no further purpose than the consumption of brandy and soda. The good-looking young Englishman, how ever, did have a further purpose, and ho accomplished it last Wednesday, when he arrested Tom O'Brien, the well-Known New Tork crook, who is wanted on Manhattan Island for grand larceny and at Albany for jumping his bail The good-looking young'Englishman was Inspector Frank C. Froest, of Scotland Yard, and O'Brien was the third American criminal he had arrested this week, the other two being John McCormick, who is charged with forgery by the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, of New York, and Joseph J. Ashforth, charged with em bezzling funds from the Boyal Arcanum. Froest was given the warrants in the three cases. The first two he executed with comparatively little difficulty, but O'Brien has kept him busy for some time, and Detective Beilly, of In spector Byrnes' staff, who is over here to take MeCormaok back, made matters more interesting by informing the English detec tive that O'Brien was a man who would not be taken alive, and would sell his life dearly. A week ago the police learned that O'Brien was living at, Hotel L'Athenee, in Paris, but before the French and English authorities could combine their forces he got wind of their intentions and decamped on Tuesday. His capture on Wednesday was by mere chance. Froest was taking luncheon in the Gattis restaurant in the Strand, early in the afternoon, with Charles Hodson, a clerk in the United States Lega tion, who knew O'Brien by sight, when O'Brien, who had just arrived from Paris, came across from Charing Cross station to get something to eat Froest called him by name and placed him under arrest O'Brien was taken so completely by sur prise that he admitted his identity at once, and made no effort to escape. "You can't do anything with me, anvway," he said. "The extradition law wasn't in force when I made my play." In an hour O'Brien had sent for Arthur Newton, the celebrated criminal lawyer, who will make a fight to resist extradition. Detective Beilly intends to take McCormack back next week. Still another man was arrested in London this week in the person of Colonel Lorimer Graham, who is said to have served during the Civil War on the Confederate side. Gra ham has long been a resident of London, where his principal occupation has been borrowing money from visiting Americans, He is charged with attempting to pass a fictitious check.

Ida Lavine complained-that her husband, Solomon Lavine, and she lived together in Bussia 2 years, when he left her and went to England to push his fortune, promising to send for her when he got a foot hold. Finally Ida began to think Solomon wasn't pushing very hard, and she followed him. In England she learned that he had gone to the United States and she kept on following, coming np with him in Pittsburg. She said that after the rennion Solomon and she lived happily together for a few days, when his mother came and took him away.

He makes good wages, but objected to liv ing with his wife on the ground that she drank intoxicants to excess. Mary Call, in response, burst into tears and said she never drank liquor until her husband placed 'the temptation before her by keeping the stuff in the house forhis own use. Judge Ewing demanded of George if he drank, and on his admission that he did take a glass occasionally, the Judge told him that Mary had as much right to drink as he, perhaps more, as her hours of work were longer. Five dollars a week and payment of costs was the ultimatum of the Court Anna Noftinsky was a jolly old girl who said she was about 73 years of age, which is 11 years more than her husband pleaded to in his case. She stated that after she and William had been married something over 40 years he left her to paddle her own canoe.
