tBT CABLE TO THE DISrATCH.1
I.OXTXW, May 2a Copyright. The ac
tion of the various Irish societies in the
United States has at length had some effect
upon the Irish factions on this side. The
leaders continue to bluster at each other in
public, but privately they are making ami
cable arrangements designed to prevent the
Tories winning any seats in Ireland at the
general election, now so near, at the ex
pense of divided Nationalists. This will
not prevent Farnellites and auti-Pamellites
hat inc a good Btand-up fight in every con
stituency in which their dissensions cannot
possibly be utilized by the common enemy,"
so that there will still be much wholesome
blowing off of steam, and possibly some
blood-letting, for the benefit of the plethoric
body politic.
This is as it should be, and nobody will
complain except those who are constitu
tionally unfitted to enjoy a good rousing
fi;ht, or some others who, having a strain
of sluggish English blood in their Irish
veins, regard the proposed arrangement as
a sinful waste of good money winch could
be more profitably spent.
How Balfour Swelled a Majority.
The anti-Parnellites have appointed an
election committee upon which they have
wisely given Michael Davitt a seat, and the
Parnellites are busily engaged in complet
ing their work of organization. Both Bides,
in trnth, were so engrossed in this business,
laudable enouzh in itself, that 30 Irish
members stayed away from the division on
the local government bill, with the result
that Mr. Balfour carried the second reading
of that remarkable measure by a majority of
92 instead of about 40, which would have
been the number had the attendance been
normal.
Simple-minded Tones, who credited the
Government with a desire to pass the bill,
were so elated over the result that they
talked loudly of placing the measure on the
statute book this session despite Liberal
obstruction,bnt Mr. Balfour and other well
informed gentlemen on the ministerial
bench looked anything but pleased at their
unexpected triumph. Theory of obstruction
which is to be shouted by every Tory
fichter in the coming struggle will lose
much of its effect in the circumstances
because electors will be unable to under
stand why a strong Government, which car
ried the second reading of the bill by a
majority of nearly 100, was unable to pass
it into law, nor will it he so easy to find a
decent excuse for dropping the hill, but it
will have to be done, and the official an
nouncement of the sacrifice will probably
be made next week,
fiortg to Prove Gladstone 'Wronc
Upon the eve of a struggle in which Ire
land's dearest interests are involved Mr.
John H. Parnell, a gentleman who is begin
ning to presume over much on his pa
tronymic, has considered it seemly and
timely to deliver a lecture in the city cf
Cork "for the purpose of proving that "Mr.
Gladstone is s knave, fool and liar. Mr.
John Redmond is going to 2ew York
shortly with the avowed wiew of
demonstrating a similar proposition. In
cidentally he proposes also to convince
Irishmen in America that black i9 white,
and that a minority is really a majority.
He hopes to return with not less than
120.000, with which to propagate his pecu
liar propaganda. The other party think of
sending an envoy to warn their fellow
countrymen and friends in New York
" against the wicked wiles of Mr. John Red
mond, who, it will be shown, is no better
than a Tory in disguise, prepared to sell
Ireland for British gold.
If American friends of Ireland be desir
ous of helping the home rule cause they
will adhere to their wise resolve not to sub
scribe a cent to either faction until the
leaders have composed their differences,
which are due almost entirely to contend
ing personal ambitions.
The Orangemen are doing their best to
maVe a great show at Belfast on June 17,
when the Unionists' Convention Is held.
They are spending money on it, and already
10,000 have been collected to boom the
demonstration.
Balfour TTon't Talk to Orangemen.
The efforts of the party to secure Balfour
to address the convention have failed, so
that, though the Duke of Abercorn pre
fides, the speakers will probably be of the
caliber of Colonel Saunderson and T. W.
RusselL The object of the convention is to
coerce the nervous English voter bv hold
ing up to him the mighty things the" Ulster
men will do if home rule is conceded to the
Irish Nationalist party, while the religions
scruples of the non-conformists will be
worked upon bv prophetic examples of
what will befall Irish Protestants it priests
get the upper hand.
A month or two ago the Foreign Office
was engaged in a lively controversy with
members of Chambers of Commerce who
complained that British traders are always
placed at a disadvantage with their competi
tors, especially in remote countries, owing
to the laziness and indifference of Ministers
anil Consuls who will not move an Loch to
help a fellow countryman in securing a con
tract for getting access to a market The
Foreign Office maintained that the com
plaints were not well founded, but promised
to inquire as to whether anything further
could be done. The row since brought
about by the Persian tobacco concession is
not calculated to encourage the Foreign
Office to excessive effort on behalf of BritiBh
traders.
The Tobacco Monopoly In Persia.
Early last year a gentleman named Tal
bot obtained from the Shah for a considera
tion, the concession of a monopoly of trad
ing in tobacco throughout Persia. The Per
sians, generally so docile, kicked with un
precedented vigor against the monopoly,
and, encouraged by their religions teachers.
e en resorted to Western methods of riot
ing and boycotting. Finally the Shah was
compelled to cancel the concession, and the
Foreign Office, laudably as one would think,
set to work to obtain compensation for the
aggrieved concessionaires. The Shah offered
300,000, but ultimately had to pay half a
million sterling.
The phenomenal activity of the Foreign
Office in this matter aroused suspicion,
with the result that certain inquisitive
Radicals discovered that Mr. Talbot is a
relative of Lord Salisbury. England's For
eign Minister as well as Premier. His
lordship was forthwith accused of nepotism,
and he and the Foreign Office people gen
erally were indignantly denounced in the
newspapers and in Parliament. The Under
Secretary for Foreign Affairs blandly ex
plains that the British Government merely
acted as mediators, and admittedly wronged
the concessionaires, and tbat Mr. Talbot's
family connections counted for nothing in
the matter. The Radicals are not satisfied,
but they can do nothing effective in this
moribund Parliament.
LONDON SOCIETY SHOCKED.
Sweating Establishments Fonnd In the
Heart or the City's fashionable West
End Americans Faying High-Class
Prices for Slop Shop Work.
tBT CABLE TO THE DISPATCH.
IiCHTDOir, Mav 28. The Evening Kewt and
Jbst, an enterprising Tory half-penny pa
per, which has from the first led the move
ment for restricting immigration of desti
tute aliens to this country, has discovered
that the evil of the -'sweating system" in
the tailoring trade is by no means confined
to the East End of London. The foreigners,
chiefly Hebrews, as in Whitechapel, have
established a prosperous sweating business
in the West End, and their foul workrooms,
where men aud women Work long hours for
starvation wages, are largely patronized by
the best and most fashionable firms in Re
gent street and neighborhood.
A reporter found two men and seven
women at work upon high-class goods in a
room 12 feet long, 8 feet broaa ana v or e
feet high, situated over stables. The em-
plover, of course, was a foreigner, and he
contracted for work at sixpence or seven
pence per hour, for which he paid his
people twopence or threepence per hour.
In other words, he was a sweater
of the orthodox East End type,
and the knowledge of his presence
in the West End is calculated to cause
a severe shock to the gilded youth of May
fair and their American imitators, who con
tentedly pay or promise to pay exorbitant
prices tor their garments under the impres
sion that they are made by the best English
tailors.
Opinions differ as to a means of stemming
the pauper influx. Secretary Flinn, of the
London Tailors' Union, thinks that foreign
ers should not be allowed to work for less
than union rates, but he has no clear idea
as to how such prohibition could be en
forced. A majority of respectable tailors,
British and foreign, strongly advocate an
imposition of a poll tax of some kind upon
foreign workmen landing on these shores,
conpled with a general regulation of immi
gration on American lines.
A curious effect, by the way, of the dras
tic rules enforced in Sew York, is felt in
London. Knowledge of American severity
has evidently spread throughout Europe,
with the result that destitute aliens who in
the old days would have gone direct to the
United States, now come first to England,
with the intention of earning enough money
to qualify them to pass through Uncle
Sam's jealously guarded portals.

London, May 28. Early in the last
century Francis Baring, a poor Lutheran
pastor from Bremen, set up in business in
Devonshire as a wool merchant. Four of
his decendants are now peers of this
realm the Earl of Northbrook, Lord Ash
burton, Lord Revelstoke and Sir Evelyn
Baring, a British resident at Cairo, who
has jnst been elevated to the peerage. The

The Muriettas, who once aspired to equal
ity with the Barings in the financial world,
are also in perilous condition now. This
week the old French furniture and objects
of art collected from all parts of the world
by the chiefs of the family in the days of
their prosperity, have been sold at auction.
Good prices were realized, as much as
$12.000 having been paid fora suite of Louis
XV. carved and gilt furniture for a salon,
and $3,000 for a set of four Louis XVL
carved nnd gilt fauteuils. Dresden and
other china fetched prices which proved
that in spite of bad times there is still
plenty of monev in London,
f The Messrs. Murietta's great town man
sion was also put up at anction this week
after an ineffectual attempt to sell it pri
vately to an Ambassador said to be Mon
sier Waddington, of France. The house
occupies one of the finest sites in London,
being situated at the extreme east end of
Carlton House terrace overlooking the
Horse Guards parade, and commanding a
view of the whole of Hjamess Park. It is
held on a lease direct from th.e Crown for an
unexpired term of 69 years at a
ground rent of $433 per annum. Its first
tenant was the Duke of Hamilton, who sold
it to the Duke of Newcastle, from whom it
was purchased by the late Earl Granville.
Mr. De Murietta paid the Earl 60,000 for
it in 18S7, and in five years spent another
20,000 on the house in decorations, elec
tric lighting, etc.

Two Jack Sbeppard Souvenirs Sold for the

tBT CABLE TO THE DISPATCH. J
London, May 28. A couple of mahog
any tables, which were souvenirs of the no
torious Jack Sheppard, were offered on
Thursday afternoon forpnhlic competition,
among other articles of furniture at the
old Blackjack, Portsmouth street, Lincoln's
Inn Field. This house has a history of
its own. It was a favorite resort of Joe
Miller, who died in 1728, and the first
edition of his jests which have rendered his
name so famous was published jn the course
of the year lollowing. The Blackjack,
which is almost directly opposite to the
reputed but not sufficiently authenticated
"Old Curiosity Shop" of Charles Dickens,
derived an alternative nameof "The Jump,"
by which it was long distinguished, from
the circumstance that Jack Sheppard upon
one occasion foundit daringly expedient to
jump from one of its second-floor windows
in order to evade the officers of justice,
otherwise suggestively described as the
emissaries of Jonathan Will.
It is a somewhat cruel illustration of the
evanescence of the interest taken in the
fortunes of departed greatness that a single
guinea represented to-day the value put
upon the tables to which traditions so
famous are attached.

London, May 28. Keely, the drunkard
renovator, is in London for the purpose pf
establishing a shop here. With this end in
view he consulted that well-known philan
thropist, Colonel Tom Ochiltree,
who advised him to prove the
efficacy of his cure to Henry
Labouchere, M. P., editor of Truth,
before bringing it before the British public,
as Truth is the most powerful newspaper in
England, either to champion a good
cause or to down a sham.
Keely called on Labouchere yesterday,
and agreed to prove the quality of the bi
chloride of gold system by curing any six
drunkards Labouchere might produce.
Labouchere has agreed to meet Keely's
demand, and the experiment will be made
at once.

POET WINE A DRTJO.
Too Hncb of It on Sale ia London to Keep
Up the Prices.
rBT CABLE TO THE DISPATCH. 1
London, May 28. A great sale of port
wine in London this week, the biggest on
record, has not produced such prices as were
anticipated. It was thought that 10,000
pipes would fetch about 40 a pipe, pro
ducing a total of 400,000. The prices
hitherto secured, however, are about 30 or
40 per cent below the estimate, and it is not
thought the sale will produce more than
250,000.
The decline in the price is attributed to
the fact that 1,600 pipes were disposed of
at a sale last week, and that the market has
therefore been to a certain extent fore
stalled. The magnitude of this sale may
be gathered from the fact that the 10,000
pipes, which covered acres of ground at the
docks, are equal to 7,000,000 bottles.

STARTLED THE BENCH.
Judges White and Magee Surprised
by Doctors' Testimony in
THE KUHN HABEAS CORPUS CASE.
Criticism of the Legal Method of Giving
Certificates.
MBS. KUHN'S EAXITI ESTABLISHED
A hearing in the habeas corpus proceed
ings brought by Mrs. Blake to secure the
release of Mrs. H. P. Kuhn, her daughter,
from the Dixmont Insane Asylum, resulted
in tbe writ being granted. The hearing
was held before Judges White and Magee
yesterday, and in the presence of a large
number of friends of all parties concerned.
Mrs. Kuhn was present in the custody of
Br. Hutchinson. She was dressed in a plain
black dress with a shawl thrown over her
shoulders. She did not look well, but had
every appearance of being perfectly sane.
Her entrance to the courtroom was soon
followed by that of her husband, accom
panied by his counsel, Major A. M. Brown.
Willis P. McCook represented Mrs. Kuhn.
There was a wait of over an hour, during
which time Judges White and Magee trans
acted a lot of routine busines. In the mean
time friends of Mrs. Kuhn came in by the
dozenandshook hands with the woman, whose
face was aglow with smiles for everyone
who greeted her. Dr. J. O. Flower, who
has been her physician for two years, was
among those who exchanged greetings with
her. The doctor said he was very much
surprised when he heard she had been
placed in an asylum, for he had never con
sidered her insane.
' Trying to liCfect a Compromise.
While this was going on the attorneys
were discussing a plan for the disposal "of
the case. Mr. McCook wanted Mr. Kuhn
and Major Brown to consent to the release
of the wife, and that she be placed in St
Francis Hospital for treatment at the ex
pense of the husband. At the conclusion of
the conference Mr. McCook presented the
proposition to the court,
'I will not agree to that," said Judge
Magee. "If the woman is insane she should
be sent to an asylum, but this Court has no
power to say that anyone shall be confined
in a hospital."
Mr. Kuhn's affidavit was presented, in
which he said he and his wile had been
separated since February, 1891; that he
bad placed his two boys in a
school at Washington, Pa.; 'that since
April last his wife had lived in her
own house in the East End. The affidavit
contained the account of the manner in
which Sir. Kuhn had gone to his wife's

Dr. Emmerling with him, and how, after
the physicians had made an examination of
the woman, 'Squire Kegley had been ap
plied to for a committment to Dixmont,
which was granted.
Drs. Nelan and Emmerling eorroborated
what Mr. Kuhn said in reference to their
visit to Mrs. Kuhn's house. The two Dhv-
sicians were questioned rather severelv by
the Court.
Judges Surprised by the Physicians.
Judge Magee You say you examined
Mrs. Kuhn but once and that was last Mon
day, and yet you signed a certificate attest
ing to her .insanity. Don't you think you
could find traces of insanity in any woman
who has been separated from her husband
and.her children taken away?
Judge White Dr. Nelan, you knew Mrs.
Kuhn's mother lived in the neighborhood.
Did you, after finding the woman in a weak
and half-famished condition, endeavor to
communicate with her mother?
Dr. Nelan I did not consider it my duty
to do so.
Judge White Dr. Nelan, I am surprised.
Judge Magee questioned Dr. Emmerling,
who also admitted tbat he had not seen
Mrs. Kuhn until Monday.
Judge Magee And yet you, at the re
quest of the husband, signed a certificate of
insanity. Such a proceeding is an outrage.
Major Brown The law has been ob
served. Judge Magee Then the law is wrong.
No Alderman could send a criminal to
prison on the testimony of two witnesses
without giving the defendant a chance to be
heard, and the law should not give him the
right to send anyone to an insane asylum
without an order from court.
Mrs. Blake was then put on the stand.
She said she did not think her daughter was

a long time, and had worried because her

Showed No Signs of Insanity.
Dr. Hutchinson said that While Mrs.
Kuhn had been in his institution she had
shown no signs of insanity, and he thought
with proper treatment, she would fully re
cover. Mrs. Blake again took the stand, and said
her daughter's married life had been very
unpleasant.
major urown then said his client was
willing that Mrs. Kuhn should be released
from the asylum and placed in a hospital.
Judge Magee What assurance have we
that Mr. Kuhn will not again have his wife
declared insane?
Major Brown He has said in his affidavit
that he does not want her property; all he
asks is that she receive proper treatment.
Jndge Magee Yes he, without consult
ing his wife's relatives or friends, has her
prononnced insane and thrown into prison.
What right had he to take a physician and
break into her room when by his own state
ment she had been living alone for over a
year?
Mrs. Kuhn was then called. She answered
all questions in a plain, straightforward
manner. When asked by Judge White how
she would prefer the case to be disposed of,
she said if she were permitted to go back
home she would have a nurse and take good
care of herself.
Judge White asked if she would be will
ing to go to a hospital, and she replied that
she was.
The Court then granted an orderproviding
for Mrs. Kuhn's treatment in St. Francis'
Hospital subject to further order from the
Court. In making the order Judge White
remarked that he hoped Mr. Kuhn would
call on his wife and make her life as pleasant
as possible.

spirituality in the congregation." The dis
cussion was opened by G. G. Wallace, who
held that .this duty devolves on
the elder as much as it does
on the pastor himself, it not even to a
greater extent The character of the elder
ship in a church is one of the strongest
points in the stability of a congregation, he
held, and is the foundation from which
spirituality is radiated and its influence
carried among the people. The life of an
elder must be pure, that it can be as an
example to the children and youth as well
as to the older members of the church.
Must Slake the Church More Pleasant
Dr. McClung followed, and spoke of the
duty of the elder to the baptized youth of
the church. His argument folio wed closely
in the line of thought that characterized the
remarks of Elder Wallace. He dwelt par
ticularly upon the necessity of setting an
example worthy of emulation, and believed
in makjng the church service so attractive
that young men would derive the same
pleasure they do in worldly ways.
S. H. Kasley discoursed entertainingly
upon "the example of the eldership as to
Christian giving." He said: "Christian
giving is consecrated giving. It is not the
extent," he continued, "but the spirit and
the proportion of it to the prosper
ity 'that men have. The widows'
mite was a fortune in one sense,
and Jesus said: 'She has cast in more than

elder here would make a pledge to . tha
General Assembly to give one-tenth of hit
yearly income, and I here offer it as a re30.
iution that we do so."
The resolution was amended slightly and,
read that a committee of three circulate &
pledge among the elders for their name
that aU might know which ones promise at
least the one-tenth. It was adopted, and nt
pursuance Messrs. Ferguson, Wallace and.
Smiley were appointed.
