COL. KING-HARMAN.

The Right Hon. Edward Robert King-Harman,
M.P. for the Isle of Thanet Division of the county of
Kent, commonly known as Colonel King-Harman,
who has been selected for the office of Parliamentary
Under-Secretary for Ireland, is the eldest son of the
Hon. Lawrence H. King-Harman, of Newcastle,
county Longford, and Rockingham-house, county
Roscommon, who was the second son of the first
Viscount Lorton and nephew of Robert sixth Earl of
Kingston. His mother, the Hon. Mrs. King-Harman,
is Mary Cecilia, daughter of Mr. James Raymond
Johnstone, of Alva, in Stirlingshire ; and he was born
on the 3rd of April, 1838, having therefore just
entered upon his 50th year. He was educated at
Eton, and obtained a commission as ensign in the
60th Rifles, without purchase, on the 11th of May,
1855, but purchased a lieutenancy in that corps on the
oth May, 1856, retiring from the army a few years
afterwards. in 1878 he was appointed honorary
colonel of the Roscommon Militia, now the sth Bat-
talion of the Connaught Rangers, and in the same year
became her Majesty's Lieutenant and Custos Rota-
lorum for that county. He is also a magistrate
.for
the counties of Longford, Westmeath, and Sligo.
From 1877 to 1880 he represented the county of
Sligo in the Conservative interest in the House of
Commons, but was an unsuccessful candidate at the
election in April of the last-named year. At a by-
election for the county of Dublin on February 28,
1883, however, he was returned for the Irish metro-
politan county, holding his seat till the dissolution in
1885, when, deeming it hopeless to contest an Irish
constituency under the enlarged franchise, he re-
solved to woo the suffrages of the electors of the Isle
of Tbanet, one of the new divisions of the county of
Kent, and was duly returned to Parliament at the
general election of 1885 and 1866. In 1885 he was
sworn a member of her Majesty's Privy Council in
Ireland. Colonel King-Harman married, on the 20th
of August, 1861, Emma Frances, the youngest
daughter of the late Sir William Worsley, and sister
of Sir W. Cayley Worsley, the present baronet. He
has had the misfortune to lose his only son, Lieu-
tenant Lawrence William King-Harman, of the sth
Battalion Connaught Rangers, who died on Oct. 233
1886.

THE STATE OF IRELAND:

County Inspector Moriarty, of Limerick, has held
an inquiry for the purpose of ascertaining whether
ex-Constables Dorney and Sweeney had been seen in
the company of leading Nationalists in the Kilteely
and lierbertstown districts prior to the action on
their part which resulted in their dismissal. In con-
sequence of what was elicited from the officers ex-
amined, an order has been made strictly prohibiting
members of the force from speaking under any cir-
cumstances to Nationalists. A careful watch of the
movements of Nationalists is also requested, with a
view to the detection of persons attempting to weaken
the loTalty of the constabulary.
At Belfast Police-court, on Monday' the four per-
sons arrested in connection with the Sunday night's
disturbances were brought up before the magistrate.
One was sentenced to two months', another to three
months' imprisonment; another was tined 40s. and
costs, and the fourth was remanded. _ _

Many writs and ejectment processes were issued on
Monday to tenants of the Countess of Kingston's
estate, co. Cork. Decrees have already been obtained
against over 100 tenants. The officials of the estate
say they are determined at any sacrifice to resist the
demands of the tenants.

The Meelin, co. Cork, tenantry of Mr. Leader on
Monday adopted the Plan of Campaign, they having
been refused the abatement of rent which they de-
manded.

On Monday, the police having been strongly rein-
forced, the eviction f Daniel Grace was duly carried
out at Kilbarry, near Dunmanway, county Cork. Grace
having barricaded and fortified his farmhouse, kept
the police at bay all day Saturday, and was on Monday
evicted affer a prolonged and determined struggle. A
great crowd of people, together with several priests,
were present and loudly cheered Grace and groaned
at the police.
A meeting of delegates from the various branches of
the National League in the Queen's County was held
on Monday at Maryboro with the object of arranging
for a subscription at the chapel gates in every parish
on Sunday, the 24th inst., in aid of the tenants of the
Marquis of Lansdowne, who have adopted the Plan of
Campaign. Mr, W. Macdonald, M.P., Mr. Arthur
O'Connor, M.P., and Mr. Lalor, M.P., addressed the
meeting. Resolutions were passed approving the Plan
of Campaign and condemning the Crimes Bill.

A FIGHT WITH A CHETAH,

The following appears in a recent number of the
Bengal newspaper The East :—A friend from Sylhet
writes: "It is now more than a week ago that one
evening a female chetah appeared all on a
sudden and created quite a consternation in the village
close to the police station of Hingaj ea, in South Sylhet.
The chetah appears to have first taken its shelter
under some sparsely situated bush, and a boy happen-
ing to pass by it on certain petty errand, the rapacious
animal fell upon him; and on his raising an alarm,
it left him and rushed on others that ran to the spot
to see what the matter -vas, and, wounding one more,
it was making off when it seized another man by the
back, who, though severely mauled, managed by sheer
force to get rid of its clutches. At this time the
chetah complacently walked into a house; and here
a maid-s3rvant, being under impression that her little
girl was inside the house, cried out, on which an old
man in a harry stepped in and attacked the blood-
thirster with an axe, when she snapped at him and
wounded him in the face; but the man with a pre-
sence of mind contrived to shut her up in the
house by fastening the door, and, as it was grow-
ing dark, a large net was laid round the house
to prevent her escaping during night. On the next
morning some native shikaries came, and on opening
the doors of the house, the chetah leaped out and
broke through the net, and, after wounding several
persons among the spectators, she again got inside of
another house, the doors of which were immedietely
closed. The chetah thus shut in, an opening was
caused in the roof of the house through which the
shikaries managed to shoot her dead. The chetah
was about seven cubits in length from the tip of her
nose to the end of her tail. Two tea-planters belong-
ing to the neighbouring gardens were also present at
the place and asked of the villagers to allow them to
have a shot at the spotted animal; but the shikaries did
not consent to it, though they were promised a reward
of 50 rupees by these gentlemen. The chetah has
wounded some ten persons, of whom two have died
since and another is lying in a precarious state. By•
the-by, it should be mentioned that the village where
the chctah made its appearance is free from any
jungle irorth the name, and the present* of RIO_
an animal has been an unprecedented 0061rr6h3°5
there.' •

EGYPT AND THE SOUDAN.

A telegram dated the Bth instant has been received
from Colonel Claermside, stating that two of General
Gordon's Bayingers from Dongola report that a
letter arrived there from Khartoum 20 days ago,
ordering all Nejvmi's Bayingers to reinforce Osman
Digma near Galabat. Nejumi refused, urging that
all were required for the defence of Donnla against
the Kabbabish, and he threatened if the Khalifa took
them to abandon Dongola and retire on Khartoum.
A Saudanese refugee who left Ferket on April 2nd
states that a letter had arrived there ordering Hausii
with all his force except the Bayingers, to join
Nejumi. The dervishes -and Kabbabish fought for
three days near Dongola, and the dervishes were
beaten, 60 Bayingers deserting to Sheikh Saleh.
Nejumi was pressing the Dongolese into his service.
Four Kabbabish, who left El Gab at the beginning
of April, and have arrived at Wady Haifa since the
above-mentioned refugee, confirm his report of the
success of the Kabbabish; and they report also Osman
Digna's defeat near Galabat by 11 clans who left
Khalifa during last month. They add that a great
federation of the tribes was about to fight the der-
vishes, and that in consequence the Khalifa Abdulla
was about to remove from Omdurman to Khartoum
island.

THE EMPRESS EUGENIE.

The Corriere del lilettino writes: "Yesterday
(Ea4er Tuesday) the struscio (promenade (luring
which all vehicles are prohibited) in ViA Toledo
iNaples) was rendered particularly interesting by the
sppearance of the Empress Eugenie, who passed
through the street. The ea-Sovereign bears the
traces of great and delicate beauty, almost seudering
her age a mystery. Slender, erect, and with a superb
figure, she is at once to be recognised as. a grand('
dame. Her 'bright and vivacious eyes justify the old
fascination and the episode of the diamonds
m the
Forest of Compiegne. Her still rosy complexion is
admirably preserved, ar.d is perhaps owing to the
i
mild climate which has renewed the ancient beauty
n
her cheeks ; her hair, not yet white, still shows tints
of pale gold. The Empress was, as alwayz, in deep
mourning, and wore a long crape veil. Although rhe
carried a parasol in:her left band, her right held the
well known ebony stick, on which, howe:er, she did
not lean. She was accompanied by the Count and
Countess di Caltabellotta, Cavalier Pietri, bud
Madame Le Bretton. All the afternoon Toledo was
crowded with well-dressed people.

r.obb3 ists have been discomfited by the New York
Senate, which has adopted a resolution excluding all
persons but members and officers r,f the Senate from
the floor and ante-room, unless by unanimous consent.

WORKING MN AND IRELAND,

LETTER FROM MR. GLADSTONE.

Mr. Gladstone has addressed the following letter to
the editor of the North Eastern Daily Gazette, which
is publisheei at Middlesbrough:
Sir,—You ask me to write something in the way of
advising the mining population of the North to raise
its voice against the Coercion Bill of the Government.
I can hardly suppose there are two opinions among
them, or that they require any suggestion from me ;
yet I will not refrain from calling their attention to
the meeting which is to be held in Hyde-park on
Monday. and to which, as I understand, tens of thou-
sands of the working men of London intend gene-
rously to devote their holiday.
If ever theie was a time when it was for the
English working man in town and country to be-
think himself, this is the time.
It is the first time when a Coercion Bill, if passed,
is to be ps^ 1 by the vote of England alone against
the views of Scotland, Ireland, and Wales.
It is the first time when such a bill will have been
passed under the sanction of the householders at
large, never enfranchised in town and country before
the last elections of 1885 and 1886.

It is the first time when coercion has been proposed
for Ireland without an attempt by the Ministry to
show—what we know they cannot show—a state of
exceptional, flagrant, or growing crime.
if England is to coerce Ireland for crime, Ireland
can reply that relatively to population she has less
crime than England.
In my opinion the rejection of this bill is even
more needed by England than by Ireland. For Ire-
land it is a question of suffering, and she knows bow
to suffer. For England it is a question of shame and
dishonour, and to cast away shame and dishonour is
the first business of a great nation.
In 1876 a meeting of the working men of London
nrst gave effeecutsl force to the movement for Bul-
garia which brought about the election of 1880. May
the meeting of Easter Monday ring the death-knell
of the worst, most insulting, most causeless Coercion
Bill ever submitted to Parliament.—l am, Sir, your
obedient servant, W. E. GLADSTONE.

CHAMPAGNE AIM ICES FOR PAUPERS'

At the last meeting of the Islington Board of
Guardians it was reported that on the previous day
Mr. ELliott, vice-chairman of the Board, took a party
of 50 old men and 50 old women from the workhouse

SAD ACCIDENT AT SOUTHEND.

On Monday afternoon, as Mrs. Little and her
daughter, Mary Ann Little, of Collier's-cottage,
Enfield Highway, Middlesex, were walking along
Southend Pier, they heard the tramcar coming behind
them. Mrs. Little got on to the left-hand side of the
bt r uct ure, within a foot of which the tram runs, and
her daughter, seeing her danger, rushed forward to
save her. In consequence of the strong wind which
prevailed the tram could not be brought up in time
to avoid an accident, and the result was that Mrs.
Little was crushed to death, while her daughter was
so severely injured that she was conveyed on a
s.retcher to the station and removed thence to Guy's
Hospital, where it was found that she was suffering
from a dislocation of the thigh and shock to .he,
nervous system. Mrs. Little, with two daughters
bad arrived at Southend only that morning. Her
second daughter was looking out to sea from the
opposite side of the pier, and was unaware of what
had happened until her attention was attracted by
the cries of the spectators, and she then saw the
bodies of her mother and sister extricated.

Upon inquiry on Tuesday at Gay's Hospital as to
the condition of Miss Little, who narrowly e:caped
being killed, along with her mother, at Southend
Pier on Monday, it was reported that she was going
on as favourably as could be expected, considering the
nature of her injuries. The young woman, who is
lying in the Charity Ward, was on Monday night put
under chloroform, and the operation of placing the
dislocated thigh into its proper position was satisfac-
torily performed. She has, however, sustained other
injuries—severe bruises about the body and general
shock to the system. Her recovery, nevertheless, is
not despaired of.

IRATH OF A PEER FROM HYDRO-
PHOBIA.

Lord Doneraile has died at Donsraile Court, county
C3rk, frcrn hydrophobia. He was bitten last January
by a pet fox, subsequently discovered to be suffering
from rabies. Lord Doneraile and his coachman, Who
was bitten at the same time, were for some weeks
under M. Pasteur's treatment, and have since been in
the enjoyment of good health. On Monday evening
of last week his lordship complained of being unwell.
Dr. Hobart saw him Oh the following Thursday, and
found his symptoms so alarming as to necessitate his
spending the night with him. Small hope was then
entertained of his recovery, and he died next morn-
ing. The coachman, who is much younger than his
lordship, has up to this felt no ill effects. Hayes St.
Leger, fourth Viscount Doneraile, alai a representa-
tive Irish peer, was born in 1818, and succeeded to
the title in 1854. In 1851 he married a daughter of
the late George Lennox-Conyngham, by whom he had
one daughter, who married in 1874 Lord Castletown.
The heir to the title is Richard Arthur, grandson of
the late Hon. Richard St. Leger, M.P., second son of
the first viscount, and issue of the late Richard
Thomas Arthur St. Leger. He was formerly chief
clerk in the Paymaster-General's office, and retired on
a pension in 1877. His residence is 13, Sonth-squara,
Gray's-inn.

FATAL COLLIERY EXPLOSION.

On Tuesday morning an explosion occurred in
Preston Grange Collieries, near Prestonpans, Mid-
lothian. The miners have been on strike recently,
and on Tuesday morning aboat six o'clock Frederick
Curtis, a miner, aged 35 years, and his son 14 years
of age, went into the Jewell seam of the pit to get
their tools preparatory to commencing work in the
Great Seam. They were preceded by James M'Ewan,
a fireman, aged 44 years, with a safety lamp. Not
long after they had gone down a loud explosion was
heard in the mine, and a relief party was immediately
organised, but it was some time before they could
reach the men, owing to the afterdamp. When they
did, however, it was found that all three had been
killed, and their bodies were brought to the surface.
The came of the explosion is at present unknown. It
is fortunate that they were the only men in the pt at
the time of the accident.

QUESTION TIME IN THE COMMONS.

The array of empty benches in the Housn OF
COMMONS at question time, and throughout the whole
of the sitting, bore evidence to the number of members
who have abandoned their Parliamentary duties for
the rest of the Session. Among the questions
addressed to Ministers was one by Mr. Howard
Vincent, to whom Sir James Fergusson replied that a
telegram had been received from the Viceroy of
India, intimating that the Ameer of Afghanistan had
accepted the settlement arrived at between the
Russian and British Commissioners. Sir James
Fe gusson also announced that the United States
Government had agreed to a new Commission on
the North American Fishery Question, and that
Mr. Chamberlain had accepted the office of Chief
Commissioner. The announcement was received with
loud ironical cheers by the Parnellites, in which the
Gladstonian Liberals, after a pause, joined. The
Ministerialists responded with a counter cheer, in the
midst of which the Parnellites broke into prolonged
ironical laughter, which the Speaker endeavoured to
restrain by a more than usually emphatic call of
" Order."
