Copyright The Tories have succeeded in keeping the 27 orth Hackney seat, and the achievement is trumpeted forth to the world as a Conserva tive victory. How Email is the mercy for which the loudest of thanks are thus being offered! It can be measured by the fact that the Tory mjority has been reduced by 534 votes, compared with 18S6. It the Liberals can do this well at the general election all over London as they have just done in Xorth Hackney, they will win at least 14 seats now held by Tories, with ma jorities ranging from 4 in Central Fins- bury to 502 in Stepney. If the Tories are satisfied with taat prospect the Liberals, certainly have no cause for complaint. The Government's acceptance of the Washiuprton invitation to an International silver conference is striking proof of the progress made by the bi-metallist movement In this country. The chief pressure brought to'bear upon the Government came from Lancashire, which has been almost whollv convened to the belief that a bi-metalli'e standard would restore the prosperity of its staple trade. Capital invested in joint Mock cotton mills depreciated 35 per cent in 15 vears, and the average net profits have dwindled to 1 per cent per annum. Lan cashire people, employers and workmen alike, have been taught to attribute this alarming state of affairs to the low price of silver and the limitations in the exchanges. Merely Meant as a ItlaQ. The Government, in view of the ap proaching general election in which Lan cashire is a very important factor, was bound to do something, but the acceptance of United States Government's invitation must not be taken to imply that there is any immediate prospect that England will adopt the bi-metallie standard. The Liberals will in all probability be in power before the conference has held" its first sit ting, and that partv is strongly mono metallic t The British delegates will enter the conference empowered to do nothing more than listen and talk. TheBi-Metallic League has converted Lancashire, but a con dition precedent to final victorv is the win ning over of the great Liberal party, and that, if it ever be achieved, means" hard work for many years. A noisy section of the labor partv which wants Parliament to fix the number of hours per day during which full-grown men shall be allowed to work had bv its delegate' an interview with Lord Salisbury and Mr. Balfour this week. The delegates would have had no chance of being received by those august persons had not Mr. Glad stone's refusal to receive a similar deputa tion induced the Tories to believe that political capital might be made out of the business. Nobody Particularly Well Satisfied". A speech made last night at Bradford bv Alderman Ben Tillett, one of the eight-hour leaders, warrants the belief that neither party hasmuch cause for satisfaction. "The aristocratic and moneved classes," said Tillett, "filled Parliament to protect their own interests. Despite all their promises, every politician of note had taken a nega-. tive position on matters affecting the dem- ocraey. Mr. Gladstone was evasive and had snubbed the labor party. Mr. Morley had insulted it. Lord Salisbury twitted at it, Mr. Balfour had been cynical, and Lord Randolph Churchill hysterical. There was not a representative man in either party who was not opposed to the labor pro gramme. The ruling classes cared nothing that the millions were weltering in ignor ance and povertv, so long as their "own pockets were filled," and so on. The lact is, the labor partv in this country has been so pampered and petted by all political parties that it has become a spoiled child. Tor vears past when it has cried lor the moon ft has been accustomed to receive a star to go on, and nowadays, when it howls, it expects to be bribed into silence with nothing less than the entire solar system. Inlin Hull In a. Qaandary. John Bull has arrived at the conclusion that he has been very badly treated by Tncle Sam in the matter of the arme'd cruisers, and he is casting about for means whereby to prevent other steamship com panies following the pernicious and un patriotic example of the Inman people. He is not yet decided whether to make a transfer cf the British ships to United States registry an act of high treason, or to grapple ith the difficulty in the natural commercial manner of outbidding the American bidder. Some of his sons are in clined to pet hysterical over the business. Colonel Howard Vincent, M. P., for in stance, wants to know : "Are we to rely upon manna from heaven in the day when ocean gravhounds under the Stars and Stripes pull up with shot the food of our millions?" But on the whole the matter is being discussed calmly here. POOH ALIEN IMttlGBATION. Post, the military attache of the United States Legation, though the ceremony will be short of much pomp, owing to the rigid etiquette observed by the diplomatic corps on such occasions. Although the court is out of mourning, the royal familj is not, and the function of the diplomatic corps being to represent royalty, it is com pelled to observe a long period of official grief. Therefore. Mrs. tost, being the wife of a military attache, will observe this tra dition and appear in black. I am informed that she will wear a court gown of rich black striped moire antique, of new and original design, the front of the skirt being covered with a finely jetted tableir and caught up to the back of the bodice with a diamond ornament, a Watteau train of Duchess satin, and plumes of os trich feathers. Her jewelswillbe diamonds and pearls, according to the regulations prescribed for mourning in the diplomatic corps. Another feature of the drawing room is that Mrs. Catline, wife of the United States Consul at Munich, has received the Queen's especial permission, through the Lord Chancellor, to appear in a high-necked gown. Altogether, there will be eleven American ladies presented at this drawing room. B0RR0WE BLOODTHIRSTY. A "Vital Tactor In the Wb Qnestlon In England, as Here. tnr CABLE TO THE DISPATCII. J London.

Hallet Alsop Bor rowed blood-thirstiness has not been as suaged by the duel with Edward Fox. He last Sunday entrusted Harry Vane Mllbank with a letter to Colonel Tom Ochiltree and a verbal message to Fox. The letter to Ochiltree stated that Borrowe had twice called at the Colone's chambers and been refused admission, and that Borrowe de manded to see him to ascertain it the charge that Ochiltree had made a threat to spit In his face were true. The message to Fox was that Borrowe would like to meet Fox again on the field of honor, and fight with pistols at eight fjuues uuiu uiie ui me ktu naa &iueu ur ju capacitated from holding his weapon. Mil bank called upon Ochiltree, but did not give him the letter. The Colonel said he would not fight a duel with anybody upon so trifling a pretext Milbank did not take Borrowe's mes mage to Fox. However, he told Borrowe that if he wanted to fight Fox again there must be a new cause of quarrel, as a duel no matter how it ended, wiped out all ex isting grievances between the principals thereof. Then Borrowe drew up the follow ing document, which Milbank signed. I beg to state that I implicitly believe Mr. II. A. Borrowe's statement that he was totally unaware of the publication of the. correspondence in the Borrowe-Drayton af lalr, and that he never cave his consent or authority for any publication. Any state ment that I am neutral in the matter is therefore untrue, as is also the statement that my friends have endeavored to Induce me to withdraw lrom any further connec tion with the affair. I am only too happy to act In the future as I have in the past and in the present. In every and any way In which Mr. Borrowe may need my humble services. The Dispatch correspondent showed this to Milbank, who said: "That means that I believe there was a misunderstanding between Fox and Borrowe. I do not be lieve that Borrowe thought the correspond ence was to be published, neither do I be lieve that Fox gave it out for publication believing it to be unauthorized by Bor rowe." Milbank has heard that his unnamed an. tagonist in the recent duel at Ostend is pro gressing favorably. The Burgomaster at Ostend has been removed by the Belgian Government for "gross neglect of dutv" in allowing the two duels to take place there. MADAME BLAVATSKY'S ASHES Divided Into Three Farts, One or Which Came to New York City. fBT CABLE TO TOE DISPATCH. 1 London, May 14. Theosophy in Lon don has not fully maintained the impulse it received some time ago by the almost mirac ulous conversion of Mrs. Besant The resignation of Colonel Olcott who, with Madame Blavatsky, was one of the found ers of the sect and was chosen life president of the society, has not helped matters. Colonel Olcott resigned not because he has lost faith in Mahatmas, but because he found the pressure of work more than he could stand. That no rupture has taken place between him and the faithful is testified by the fact that the latter have started a subscription in order to make com fortable provision for the Colonel through the rest of liis life, which he proposes to spend in India. One of the flock tells a curious thing abont the final disposition of the remains of Madame Blavatsky. As was made known at the time of her death, she was cremated. Afterward the ashes were brought to Lon don, and at a secret meeting between Mrs. Annie Besant and Mr. Judge, secretary of the society, were solemnly divided into three carts, one going to India, a second to New York and the third remaining to make Loudon a holy place for the faithful.

"Waesaw-, May 14. Josephine Gerlach had the reputation of being the most beau tiful ballet girl in "Warsaw. She had ac cumulated a considerable qnantityof money and valuable presents from her admirers. A few days ago Josephine was found mur dured in her lodgings. Her skull was beaten in. There were evidences that the girl had not given up life without a struggle. The apartment had been ran sacked, and jewels and money were missing. The police ascertained that a ladv, finely attired and apparently somewhat dfsgnised, had called upon Josephine. Searching in quiry brought about the fact that a lady of high position, named Boguslawa Crezicka, had been heard to utter threats against the ballet girl This lady belongs to one of the upper noble families, and her ancestors are distinguished in the annals of Poland. The family, like many of" the Polish families, is no longer wealthy. Boguslawa had rea son to be jealous of Josephine. The police did not hesitate to arrest her. They were astonished to find upon her the conclusive evidence of her guilt For some reason she had not disposed of the weapons with which she had murdered the ballet girl, but still carried with her a hammer and dagger which bore evidence of having been used in the sanguinary work. HOT SO VEST FUN BY, AFTEB ALL A Would-Be Witness In a New York Court Sent to the Tombs. New York, May 11 On the trial in the General Sessions to-day of Samuel Morti mer, charged with larceny, Assistant Dis trict Attorney Davis found the name of Alfred Sigel on the list of witnesses fur nished to him by the Chief Clerk of the District Att orney's office, so he called Sigel. Sigel said he knew nothing about the case. "How did you get here, then?" asked Recorder Smyth. Siel smiled and said, "Oh, I wanted to get into the court, and I couldn't get in without a subpoena, and so I went to the Clerk's office and said I was a witness, and asked for a subpoena, and he gave me one." "Why did yon do that ?" asked Recorder Smyth. "Oh, fust for fun," replied SigeL ..JT,, " r?Jolned Recorder Smytb.grimly, "I will teach you a lesson. The process of a high court is not to be trifled with. This is not a place for jesting.

Sigel's face became rueful as a court offi cer led him from the stand to the prisoners' box. tCOBHESPOXDEVCX OF THE DISPATCH.1 Vakcoityeb, May 9. "Five days ago there wasn't a foot of earth to see. It was just naturally covered with snow," says the condnctor standing in the rear car of the Great Northern train. He speaks as though the snow had hid something priceless. Here is the view: One railway track and a line of staggering telegraph poles ending In a dot and a blur on the' horizon. To the left and right, a sweep as it were of the sea, one huge plain of corn land wailing for the spring dotted at rare intervals with wooden farm houses, patent self reapers and binders almost as big as the houses, ricks left over from last year's abundant harvest and mottled here and there with black patches to show that the early plowing had begun. The snow lies in a last few streaks and whirls by the track; from skyline to skyline is black loam prairie grass so dead that it seems as though no one year's sun would waken it Kipling a Sarcastic Free Trader. This is the granary of the land where the fanner who bears the burdens of the State, and who therefore ascribes last year's bnmper crop to the direct action of the Mc Kinley bill, has also to bear the ghastly monotony of earth and sky. He keeps his head, having many things to attend to, but his wife sometimes goes mad as the women do in Vermont There is a little variety in nature's big wheat field. They say that when the corn is in the ear the wind chases shadow-waves across it for mile on mile, breeds as it were a vertigo in those who must look and cannot turn their eyes away. And they tell a nightmare story of a woman who lived with her husband for 14 years at an army post in just such a land as this. Then they were transferred to West Point among the hills over the Hudson and she came to New York, but the terrors of the tall houses grew upon her and grew till she went down with brain fever, and the dread of her delirium was that the terrible things would topple down and crush her. That is a true story. Thev work for harvest with steam plows here; how could mere horses face the end less furrows? And they attack the earth with toothed, cogged and spiked engines that would be monstrous in the shops, but here are only speckles on the yellow grass. Everything on a Grand Scale. Even the locomotive is cowed. A train of freight cars is passing along a line that comes out of the blue and goes on till it meets the blue again. Elsewhere the train would move off with a joyous vibrant roar. Here it steals away down the vista of the telegraph poles with anawedjrhisper, steals awuv and sinks into the soiL Then comes a town deep in black mud a straggly inch thick plank town with dull-red grain ele vators. The open country refuses to be subdued even for a few score rods. Each street ends in the illimitable open, and it is as though the whole houseless outside earth were racing through it Toward evening nnder a gray sky flies by an unframed picture of desolation. In the foregronnd a farm wagon almost axle deep in mud. the mire dripping from the slow turning wheels as the man flogs the horses. Behind him on a knoll, of sodden, soggy grass fenced off by raw rails from the land scape at large, are a knot of utterly unin terested citizens who have flogged horses and raised wheat in their time, but to-day lie under chipped and weather-worn wood en headstones. Surely, burial here must be more awful to the newly made ghost than burial at sea. There is more snow as we go north and nature is hard at work breaking up the ground for the spring. The thaw has filled every depression with a sullen gray-black spate and out on the levels the water lies six inches deep in stretch upon stretch as far as the eyes can reach. Every culvert is full and the broken ice clicks against the wooden pier guards of the bridges. Under the Queen's Sheltering1 Foirer. Somewhere in this flatness there is a re freshing jingle of spurs along the cars and a man of the Canadian mounted police swaggers through with his black fur cap and the yellow tab aside, his well-fitting overalls and his better set up back. One wants to shake hands with him because he is clean and does not slouch or spit, trims his hair and walks, as a man should. Then a Custom House officer wants to know too mueh about cigars, whisky and Florida water. Her Majesty, the Queen of Eng land, and the Empress of India, has us in her keeping. Nothing has happened to the landscape, and Winnipeg, which is, as it were, a center of distribution for emi grants, stands up to her knees in the water of the thaw. The year has turned in earnest and somebody is talking about the "first ice-shove" at Montreal 1,300 or 1,400 miles east They will not run trains on Sunday at Montreal and this is Wednesday. There fore the Canadian Pacific makes up a train to Vancouver at Winnepeg. This is worth remembering, because few people travel on that train and you escape any rush of tour ists running westward to catch the Yoko hama boat. The car is your own and with it the services of the porter. Our porter seeing things were slack, begniled himself with a guitar which gave a triumphal and festive touch to the journey ridiculously out of keeping with the view. For eight and twenty long hours did the bored loco motive trail us through a flat and hairy land, powdered, ribbed and speckled with snow, small snow that drives like dnst shot in the wind the land of Assinaboia, Towns, Sections and Trails. .Now and again, for no obvious reason to the outside mind, there was a town. Then the towns gave place to Section So and So; then there were trails of the buffalo, where he once walked in his pride; then there was a mound of white bones supposed to belong to the said buffalo, and then the wilderness took up the tale. Some of it was good ground very good ground but the most of it seemed to have fallen by the wayside and the tedium of it was eternal At twilight an unearthly sort of twi light there came another curious picture. Thus: A wooden town shut in among low treeless rolling ground; a calling river that ran unseen between scarped banks; barracks ot a detachment oi mounted police, a little cemetery where ex-troopers rested, a pain- luuy iormai puunc garaen with pebble paths and foot-high fir trees, a few lines of railway buildings, white women walking up and down in the bitter cold with their bonnets off; some Indians in red blanketing with buffalo horns for sale trail ing along the platform; and, not ten yards from the track, a cinnamon bear and a young grizzly standing up with extended arms in their pens begging for food. It was strange beyond anything that this bald telling can suggest; opening a door into a new world. The only commonplace thing abont the spot was its name, Medicine Hat, which struct one instantly as the only pos sible name such a town could carry. That next mornrhg brought us the Cana dian Pacific Bail way as one reads about it No pen of man could do justice to the scenery there. The guide books struggle desperately with descriptions adapted for summer reading oi rushing cascades, llch ened rock, waving pines and snow-capped mountains; but in April these things are not there. The place is locked up Dead as a Frozen, Corpse. The mountain torrent is a boss of palest emerald ice against the dazzle of the snow; the pine stumps are capped and hooded with gigantic mushrooms of snow; the rocks are overlaid five feet deep, the rocks, the fallen trees and the lichens together, and the dumb white lips curl up to the track cut in the side of the mountain and grin there, tanged with gigantic icicles. You may listen in vain when the train stops for the least sign of breath or power among the hills. The Bnow has smothered the rivers and the great looping trestles run over what might be a lather of suds in a huge wash tab. The old snow nearby is black ened and smirched with the smoke of the locomotives, and dullness is grateful to aching eyes. But the men who live upon the line have no consideration for these things. At a halting place in a gigantlo gorge walled in by the snows, one of them reels from a tiny saloon into the middle of the track where half a dozen dogs are chasing a pig off the metals. He is beautifully and eloquently drunk. He sings, waves his hands and col lapses behind the shnnting engine, while four of the lovliest peaks that the Almiehtv ever moulded look down upon him. The landslide that shonld have wiped that saloon into kindlings has missed its mark and has struck a few miles down the line. One of the hillsides moved a little in dreaming of the spring and caught a passing freicht train. Our cars rrind cautionslv bv. for the wrecking engine has only just come through. The deceased locomotive is stand ing on its head in soft earth 30 or 40 feet down the slide, and two long cars loaded J with shingles are dropped carelessly atop of it It looks so marvelously like a toy train flung aside by a child that one cannot realize what it means till its voice cries, "Anyone killed?" The answer comes back: "No; all jumped." aud you perceive with a sense of personal insult that this sloven liness of the mountain is an affair which may touch yonr own sacred selC In which case the train is out on a trestle, into a tunnel and out on a trestle again. It was here that everyone began to despair of the line when it was nnder construction be cause there seemed to be no outlet But a man came, as a man always will, and put a descent thus, and a curve in this manner, and a trestle so, and behold the line went on. It is in this Dlace that we heard the story of the O. P. B. told, as men tell a many times repeated tale, with exaggera tions and omissions, but an imposing tale none the less. In the beginning when they would federate the Dominion of Canada, it was British Columbia which saw objections to coming in, and the Prime Minister of those days promised it for a bribe an iron band between tidewater and tidewater that Bhould not break. Then everybody laughed, which seems necessary to the health ofmost big enterprises, and while they were laugh ing things were being done. The C. P. S. was given a bit of line here and a bit of line hn. anil nlmn.t as YTttlnl, llnl fl H 1 f. Wfln .(! and the laughter was still going on when the last spike was driven between East and West at the very place where the drunken man sprawled behind the engine, and the iron band ran from tideway to tideway, as the Premier said, and people in England said "how interesting," and proceeded to talk about the "bloated army estimates." Incidentally the man who told us he had nothing to do with the C. P. B. explained how it paid the line to encourage immigra tion and told of the arrival at Winnipeg of a trainload of Scotch crofters on a Snnday. Thev wanted to stop then and there for the Sabbath, they and all the little stock they had brought with them. It was the Winni peg agent who had to go among them arguing (he was Scotch, too, and they conldn't quite understand it) on the im propriety of dislocating the company's traffic. So their own minister held service in the station and the agent gave them a good dinner, cheering them in Gaelie at which they wept, and they went on to settle at Moosomin, where they lived happily ever afterward. How the Men Speak oT the Manager. Of the manager the head of the line from Montreal to Vancouver our com panion spoke with reverence that was almost awe. That manager lived in a Ealaee at Montreal, but from time to time e would sally forth in his special car and whirl over his 3,000 miles at 150 miles an hour. The regulation pace is 22, but he sells his neck with his head. Few drivers cared far the honor of taking him over the road. A mysterious man he was "who carried the profile of the line in his head," and more than that, knew intimately the possibilities of back countries which he had never seen or traveled over. There is always one such man on every line. Yon can hear similar tales from drivers on the Great Western in England or Eurasian station masters on the big Northwestern in India. Then a fellow traveler spoke, as many others had done, on the possibilities of Can adian union with the United States: and his language was not the language of Mr. Goldwfn Smith, It was brutal in nlaces. Summarized it came to a pronounced objec tion to havini? anvthincr to do with a land rotten before it is ripe, a land with 7,000.000 negroes yet nnwelded into thepopnlation, their race-type unevolved and rather more more than crude notions on murder, mar riage and honesty. "We've picked up their ways in politics," he said mournfully. "That comes of living next door to them but I don't think we're anxious to mix up with their other masses. They say they don't want us. They keep on saying it There's a nigger in the fence somewhere or thev wouldn't lie about it" "But does it follow that they are lying?" 'ISure. I've lived among 'em. They can't go straight There's some fraud at the back of it" From this belief he could not be shaken. He had lived among them perhaps had been beaten' in trade. Let them keep them selves and their manners and customs to their own side of the line. The Two Sides or Annexation. This is verv sad and chilling. It seemed quite otherwise in New York, where Canada was represented as a ripe plum ready to fall into Uncle Sam's mouth when he shonld open it The Canadian has no special love I for England the mother of colonies has a J wonderful gift for alienating the affections of her own household by neglect but per haps he loves his own country. We ran out of the snow through mile npon mile of snow sheds, braced with 12 inch beams and planked with two-inch planking. In one place a snowslide had caught just the edge of ashed and scooped it away as a knife scoops cheese. High np the hills men had built diverting barriers to turn the drifts, but the drifts had swept over everything and lay five feet deep on the top of the sheds. When we woke it was on the banks of the muddy Frazerriver, and the spring was hurrying to meet us. The snow had gone; the pink blossoms of the wild currant were open, the budding alders stood misty green against the blue black pines, the brambles on the burned stumps were in the tenderest leaf and every moss on every stone was this year's work fresh from the hand of the Maker. The land opened into clearings of soft black earth. At one station one hen had laid one egg and was telling the world about it The world answered with a breath of the real spring spring that flooded the stuffy car and drove us out on the platform to snnff and sing and rejoice and pluck squashy green marsh flags and throw them at the colts, and shout at the wild ducks" that rose from a jewel green lakelet God be thanked that in travel one can follow th TMr. This, mv snrincr.
