CODIRUNICATIONS FROII SIR CHLRLES

WARREN.

In a general order just issued the Commissioners of
the Metropolitan Police call attention to the manner
it, which the unemployed are organising with a view
to avoid the vigtinwen or eivAR the fol-
lowing in:traction: That should a procession, mob, or
wandering band perambulate the streets, break into a
run, or terrorise the inhabitants by hooting or yelling
in any thoroughfare, the Commissioners deem it to be
a disorderly meeting, and direct that it shall be dis-
persed and the principals arrested. Should it come
to a standstill, or block the roadway so as to interfere
with traffic; and refuse to act according to the instruc-
tions of the police, it is to be treated as an obstruc-
tion. _

In another order Sir Charles Warren draws atten-
tion to the remarks of the chief magistrate at Bow-
street on the 23rd ult. with regard to the camping out
of plupers in the various open spaces in the metroplis,
that "If it is not put an end to by stringent measures
somebody will be dying from exposure; then there
will be a tremendous outcry against the persons who
have sanctioned this mode of life." Remarking on
this subject, the Commissioner of Police points out
that for the safety of buildings and premises at night,
it is most unadvisable that rogues and vagabonds
and all destitute persons should sleep out in the
open, or wander about its the night during the cold
and dark period of the year, and that on this account
they should not be compelled to wander from casual
ward to casual ward in various parts of the metro-
polis seeking lodgings after dark. The constables on
the various beats when they suspect destitute perso:,.B
of habitually sleeping in the open, but are not quite
positive, should report their observations at the police
station, so that adequate inquiry may be made. The
Commissioner desires to call attention to many cases
in which men and women, who do not absolutely
beg, take small children about in the cold weather
for the purpose of exciting compassion by singing,
nuch to the injury of the children. Such
sases should always be carefully inquired into, and
lotion suspended, except in urgent cases, until full in-
formation sufficient to convict be obtained. The
Commissioner does not wish to interfere with those
persons who show they desire to make an honest live-
lihood, such as crossing sweepers, and care is to be
taken not to molest them, but anything suspicious
about their conduct should be reported. The Com-
missioner calls attention to blind and decrepit persons
who Lave for a long time been accustomed to locato
themselves in certain plases during daylight. When
there is no objection the Commissioner thinks it will
be better in future that the places where they are
stationed should be pointed out in police orders, if re-
commended by the superintendent, and in the mean-
time they should not be disturbed.

TUESDAY'S PROCEEDINGS.

When the case was resumed on Tuesday morning
Mrs. Tompkins, who resides at Forest-gate, was
called and stated that Miss Cass came from Stockton
on a Wednesday, and that she met her at King's cross
Station and took her borne. The following day they
were together in Regent-street.
Cross-examined, witness admitted that it was a fact
that at the previous inquiries she had stated that Miss
Cass was not away from her house a single night, and
that the reason was that she did not wish to bring
her friends into trouble.

The Judge: Was this evidence all given voluntarily
or bow?

Mr. Gill said it was an inquiry held at Scotland-
yard, in consequence of a letter from the Home
Secretary.
The Judge: Whn4; authority had the some Secre-
tary to order an inquiry of this kind? He has no
authority, has he?
Mr. Gill: None whatever.

The Judge: All I can say is that it is a very incon-
venient way of administering justice. I can under-
stand that an inquiry ought to be held by his superior
officer into the conduct of a policeman, but if a cri-
minal investigation is to be held afterwards it is very
inconvenient that the matter should bo inquired into
otherwise than in accordance with the ordinary coune
of law. People who make statements at such la-
quiries are placed in false positions, because they are
not on oath. In this instance facts have been with-
held which might or might not have prejudiced the
case of the accused.

Edgar Watford, who saw Miss Cass arrested, said
she was alone at the time. He followed Endacott and
Miss Cass along Oxtord-street.
The evidence of the police on duty in Tottenham-
court-road station when Miss Cass was brought in was
called on behalf of the prosecution. When charged
at the station she made no reply. Water was offered
her, but she said, "No, thank you; when I want
water I can ask for it." As she was being placed in
the cell, she said the policeman had made a mistake,
as she had only been Up that way twice.
Superintendent Draper was then called three times
in court and outside the court, but not appearing in
answer to a call by' the usher his recognizances were
orderei to be estreated. A few minutes later Superin-
tendent Draper came into court, and asked by the
judge why hf was so long absent, said he had been
across the road to get a cup of coffee.
The Judge: You have no business to be away.
Your expenses will be disallowed:

Superintendent Draper: I am very eorry, my lord.
The Judge: Very well, don't do it again.
The superintendent then gave evidence as to the
duty of the police.

BARON DE WORMS AT BLACKBURN.

Baron Henry de worms, speaking at a Unionist
demonstration at Blackburn on Monday night, said
it might not be out of place if he stated that there
was a steady improvement in the condition of the
trade of the country, though not very marked; but it
was a healthy sign that there was an improvement,
considering that the Government bad been hampered
by unheard-of obstruction in endeavouring to pass any
Acts which might materially affect the well-being of
the trading classes of England.
Stourbridge, West Midlands, England, 1887-11-05

LORD DERBY ON SOCIALISM.

The Earl of Derby was entertained at dinner by
the Mayor of Liverpool on Tuesday night, and, in
responding to the toast of his health, said he was sure
that if the Government would not bring in more bills
than they had the chance of carrying, more work
would be got through. If the Commons wanted any-
thing done and the public had the same feeling, they
would not hear much of obstruction as a bar to busi-
ness. The House might make more use of large
standing committees than it did. Business was a little
better, and agriculture, if possible, worse, while it ma
satisfactory to note the increase in savingb' bank
deposits. He was not an alarmist, but he saw two
things ahead which we could not ignore—the growth
of the population and the growth of indebtedness.
We had lessened the public debt of late years, but it
was not satisfactory to see the rate at which local in-
debtedness was growing, and he did not envy the rate-
payers 50 years hence. He had no doubt that the
growth of the public debt on the Continent was the
principal agent in the promotion of Socialism. AU
the world over it was the same, and other nations
were worse than we are. There could be only two
alternatives—repayment or repudiation.

LORD HARTINGTON AT PLYMOUTH.

Lord Hartington, speaking at a Liberal Unionist
luncheon at Ply mouli on Tuesday, declared that the
game of the Opposition was to bring about a dissolu-
tion of Parliament, and to have another general
election at the earliest possible moment. Ile did not
think there was any reason why the present Parlia-
ment should be short-lived. The difficulties in the
way of a cordial cG-operation of the two sections of
the Unionist party would probably be less in the
ensuing session than in that just closed. The Govern-
ment should have a fair trial in carrying on the
government of Ireland under the existing constitu-
tion, and it was the duty of the Liberal Unionists to
give firm, though not indiscriminate, support to the
present Administration, and to do all they could to
strengthen the alliance which existed between the two
sections of the Unionist petty by endeavouring to in-
duce the Conservatives to open their mind to Liberal
ideas. Their opponents were deriving satisfaction
from the continued lawlessness which existed in some
parts of Ireland. He could not but think that that
satisfaction would weaken the hold of the Glad•
stonian Liberals on the sympathies of the people of
this country.

LORD RIPON ON IRISH AFFAIRS.
Speaking on Tuesday night at Poplar the Marqui:i
of Ripon congratulated the Liberal party on its pro-
spects and on the programme before it when the Irish
question was settled. The debt which the English
people owed to the people of Ireland for centuries of
misgovernment was so heavy that till it had been
cleared away England had no right to look to the in-
tere:ts of her own creditors. He gubmitted that
Liberal Unionists, conscientious as they no doubt
were, should now have learned the futility of frying
to govern Ireland by coercion; and, referring to the
arrest of Mr. Blunt, he asked how English pe)ole
would like the same treatment meted out to 'them-
selves for the exercise of free speech. He pointed
out that the method of dealing with public meetings
did not arise out of the Crimes Act, but out of the
common law, which was equitably applicable to a
similar case in England. Captain Stokes's action in
the case of Mr. O'Brien he characterised as absolutely
illegal, adding that no one was safeunder such con-
ditions, and that the arrest was simply dictated by
arbitrary contempt for the law which marked the
conduct of the Government. If England, he con-
cluded, still allowed the Irish to be trampled on, she
herself would be left to her fate in her hour of bitter
need.

A CiiIMAT IE'rENTIST. •

In the death of Professor Gustav Kirchhoff, Ger-
many has lost one of her most distinguished scientific
men. It is no exaggeration to say that Kirchhoff was
the founder of a new science: that, namely, of solar
and stellar chemistry. Sir Isaac Newton's famous
experiment, which he decomposed ordinary sun-
light into the seven primary colours, has been almost
as fruitful of great results as his more famous law of
gravitation. Woolaston, an En glish philosopher, first
detected black lines in Newton's solar spectrum; but
it was Fraunhofer, a German, who carefully studied
and actually mapped such lines. Hence they are
called Fraunhofer's lines. But Fraunhofer was
unable to explain their existence; and they remained
more or less a mystery till 1860. In that sear
Kirchhoff, who together with Bunsen had care-
fully studied the question, made known the
results of their laborious researches. Kirchhoff
not only explained Fraunhofer's lines, but
conclusively proved the existence of terrestrial matter
in the sun. Since Kirchkoff's discovery both spectrum
analysis and the science of solar and stellar chemistry
have made rapid strides. So delicate an instrument
is the spectroscope that an inconceivably minute
quantity of an element reveals its presence to the
analyst. Four new metals have thus been discovered.
Among the elements which the spectroscope has
traced in the photosphere of the sun are iron, nickel,
copper, zinc, tin, and hydrogen. Hydrogen, iron,
and mercury have been found in the atmosphere of
the brilliant fixed star Aldebaran. Some of the
mysterious nebula have been found to consist of
glowing gaseous matter, and even the comet has
yielded up the secret of its constitution to the spec-
troscope. The instrument shows that whereas the
cometary nuchas may be self-luminous, the beautiful
tail, alas is but borrowed plumes, for it shines by
light first received from the sun.

WATER FROM HEAVEN:

At the Edmonton Petty Sessions William Hills,
florist, of Town Nursery, was summoned for stealing
out of the pipes of the New River Company water
to the value of £5O. The supply to defendant, it
was said, was for domestic purposes, but on an exa-
mination being made of the defendant's premises it
was found that the greenhouses, outbuildings, and
tanks for horses were being furnished from the
cistern, the supply being obtained by means of india-
rubber tubes. The only payment the company re-
ceived was 15s. a year. When asked where he got
water for his trade purposes, the defendant replied,
"From Heaven." It was contended, for the defence,
that the company had mistaken their remedy; that
what the defendant had done was not larceny at coin-
mon law, and that the proper course for the company
to pursue was to proceed under the Water Worts
Clauses Act of 1848, for a penalty not exceeding
.£lO for each offence of taking extra water without
special contract. After a very long legal argument,
the Bench decided that the evidence did not disclose
an indictable offence and the summons was dismissed.

THE DEXIONSTRA.TION ON TUESDA.Y.

On Tuesday for the first time in three weeks the
unemployed did not hold a demonstration in London,
The rain that fell for the greater part of the day con-
fined them indoors, and the police stationed at Scot-
land-yard had, comparatively speaking, a day of rest.
It had been the intention of the leaders of the agita-
tion to march their followers to "as near as possible"
to Buckingham Palace. tinder the impression that
the Queen is staying there at the present moment,
they had proposed to forward a memorial to her
Majesty Betting forth their grievance, and to await a
reply.

THE BOARD OF WORKS AND AGITATORS.

The following letter has been addressed to Mr.
Allman, the leader of the deputation of the un-
employed who waited on the Metropolitan Board
of Works: "Spring-gardens, S. W. Sir,—Referring
to the interview which you and certain other repre-
sentatives of unemployed work men had with the Board,
I have to inform you that the committee to which the
matter was referred has considered the requests and
statements which were made to the Board. With
reference thereto I am directed to state that the
Board, whilst regretting to leern that there are so
many persons out of work in London, has itself no
power to provide employment except in the carrying
out of such public works as have been authoriBed by
Parliament in the public interest. The Board's works
I may say are now giving employment to some 3000
men. Upon one large work alone, which was entered
upon only a few months ago, 2000 men are at this
moment employed. The Board regrets to be unable
to return any other answer to the requests made by
you and your colleagues on Friday last.—l am, Sir,
your obedient servant, J. E. WAKEFIELD, Clerk of the
Board."

nything particular; I don't have many business
letters here.'
He lay lazily opening one envelope after another, and
laying them aside with a word or two of comment on
their contents.
'Here's one from Johnstone Ramsay,' he said,
presently. 'He is coming to me next week about poor
.Helen's money. I can't bear to give it over to him;
it seems like giving up all hope.'
I What have you done about Mr. Hatherleigh's ?'
'asked Mrs. Jarvis. 'I don't think you ever told me
;the end of that. It is settled?'
! 'Oh, yes. I washed my hands of that long ago,'
her husband replied. The right party has got it. I
hated to talk about it and that was a fact.'
More letters, and presently an exclamation of
astonishment from Mr. Jarvis, who started bolt upright
on the sofa with a look of surprised delight.
I can't believe it,' he said. lam afraid it is a
!mistake. Woodford wouldn't be guilty of a hoax.'
What is it P' she asked. Whit has happened?'
It is something about Helen—news, if he is right;
but I dare not hope it.'
The letter was from a friend of whom Mr. Jarvis
had not heard for some time. He had been on a tour
that had extended unintentionally nearly all round the
world, and consequently had heard nothing of home
events for some time. The letter was about many
things—chatty, descriptiT•e bits of gossip about hie
travels, and remarks on Lien and things. At the end
was an amazing observation.
'I suppose your arrangements for your ward, Miss
Ramsay, fell through. DM I not understand that she
was to marry young Hatherleigh ? Perhaps I have
forgotten what he was like; the gentleman I saw with
her the other day was not what I remember him. I
did not get a chance of speaking to her, or I should
have recalled myself to her recollection. She was
looking very pale and thin—l hope she has not been
ill—but I should have known her anywhere. She is
the living image of the portrait you once showed m 9
of her mother. _ _

STRIKE IN THE CHAIN TRADE.

A GENERAL STRIKE DECLARED.

A large rrresentative meeting of chainmakera was

connection with the Chainmake!s'A-sociation unless
the members supported him in his efforts to improve
their condition. He could accomphsh very little
indeed unless he had the e.)-operation of al those
engaged in the trade. Some of CI, operatives, act-
ing under instructions received from one or two
dissatisfied employers, had eomplai,ed that talance

ment of tAiir accounts being published, but the
ExeLut,ve aimmittes had, in his opinion very wisely,
de.lided not to publish the accounts during the late
protracted struggle—(hear, hear). He afterwards
referred to the fact that upon the operatires resum-
ing work after being out on strike about twelve
months a number of the emp'orers. enforced a
reduction in wages, and he had r o kesatation in say-

MR. MUNDELLA. ON CHILD LABOUR.

Mr. Mandella, speaking at the opening of new
Board schools at Loughborough on Monday, said
there was in this country too much competition be.
tween child and adult labour, and if he were a Trades
Unionist, instead of asking as some of them did at the
recent Congress, that the State should step in and
Fay a man should only work on certain conditions and
for so many hours a day, he would resent that to the
last. He would say, "I am a man; man is master
of his fate, and no State shall step in to dictate the
hours of my labour, or limit or control them in any
way." If the State could limit the hours of labour
it could extend them, but the State had no right to
interfere betwixt the labour of adults and the contracts
in which men might wish to enter with respect to
their labour. They saw too much of men with strength
and muscle standing idle while weakly, tender, unde-
veloped children were too soon at work. He would
raise the age at which a child should work, protect
the children, and train them physically and mentally.

BURNAHi
THE LAST OF THE REBEL PRINCES.

The Limbin Prince has arrived at Rangoon, and
wil3 be forthwith sent to India.

At a durbar recently held at Tounghoo, Mr. Oros-
thwaite addressed a large body of Burmese notables,
and urged those present to assist in the work of paci-
fication in Upper Burmah. He promised work and
assistance to all insurgents who surrendered, and for-
giveness for past offences.
Mr. Crosthwate, while referring to the collapse of
the rebellion, spoke of the Limbin Prince in the follow-
ing terms: "The last of the Princes, the Limbin Prince,
has surrendered, and is now on his way to Rangoon.
This man owed his life to the British Government,
who saved him from the death to which Theebaw had
condemned him. He has shown himself most
treacherous and ungrateful, and if ever a man deserved
to lose his life, that man is the Limbin. But the Go-
vernment does not desire vengeance. The Prince
will be free, and will receive a small pension for his
support, but he will be sent to a place where he can
work no further harm." -

..-... __ ._...__. .._......
The health of the troops of the Burmah field force
is fair. About 10 per cent. of the force are on the
sick list.

THE CRIMES BILL.

Committee was resumed on the Irish Crimes Bill at
Clause 6, which empowers the Lord Lieutenant, by
special proclamation, to put in force the provisions of
the Act relating to -dangercas associations.
After a considerable number of mincr Amendments
had been disposed of, Dr. Commins moved to expunge
the sub-section of the Clause which authorised the
Lord-Lieutenant to proclaim any association which he
was satisfied was formed for interfering with the
administration of the law, or disturbing the main-
tenance of law and order." The Amendment was
opposed by Mr. A. J. Balfour, and supported by Sir W.
Harcourt and Mr. J. Morley, the latter protesting
against the E üb•section, as a monstrous invasion of civil
rights. On a division the Amendment was defeated by
228 to 140.

DIVING FOR PEARLS.

_
The chief kr ality of the Ceylon pearl fishery is a
bank about 20 miles long, 10 or 12 miles from shore,
opposite to the villages of Caindatchy and Arippo on
the northern coast. The season of the fishery lasts
about three months, commencing g the beginning
of February, and is carried on under Government
regulatioDs. The boats employed are open, and vary
in size frt mlO to '5 tons burthen. They put out at
night, usually at i 0 o'clock, on a signal gun being
fired from the fc,,rt of Arippo, and make for the
Government guard vessel, which is moored on the
bank, and serves the double purpose of a guard and
a lighter-ship. The divers are under the direction
of a manager, who is called the Adappanar, and they
are chiefly Tamils and Moors from India. For each
diver there is provided a diving gone, weighing about
30 pounds, which is fastened to the end of a rope
long enough to reach the bottom, and having a loop
made for the man's foot; and in. addition to this, a
large net work basket, in which to place the pearl
oysters as he collects them. These are hung over the
sides of tho boat; and the diver placing his foot in
the loop attached to the stone, liberates the coils of
the rope, and With his net basket Tepidly descends to
the bottom. -

THE MARKETS.

MARK-LANE.
At Mark-lane a quiet business has been doing, and prices
have been about the same: the sales of home-grown wheat
in the leading markets of England and Wales during the
past 41 weeks of the season were 1,947,016 qrs. against
2,521,610 qrs at an average of 32s 10d, against 130 s 8d per

and Ed p.r qr lower. Ihe flour market was du'', at birely

was in quiet request, without change. Oats were cot
so freely offered, and they met a quiet demand. Maize
was dull at previous curreueies. beans, and peas were
quiet but steady.
METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

The caltle trade has been decidedly weak. The heavy
supplies at the dead meat market, the hot weather, and
the fair arrivals of live anima's, have exercised a depress-
ing influence. The fresh arcivals of beasts from our own
gracing districts were fairly good. Sales were difficult, and
