LONDON DAILY NEWS.
The London Daily News in its city article
says pending the receipts of the news from
America as TO the temper in which the
Washington Cabinet viii receive the news
of our refusal to take into consideration the
Alabama's claim check is given to the move
ment in American securities as regards
which, the tendency Of the market is other
wise favorable nevertheless. In the mean
time the high rate of interest required from
speculative holders Of $40 bonds at the last
settlement has caused occasional realizations
so that the price is barely maintained.
Should the American government adopt
the moderate course which is expected of
them, it would seem difficult to limit the ex-
tent Of the probable flow of British capital
into American securities, new and old, for
there is evidence on every side that the re-
suit of the civil war has raised the prestige
and credit of America, and her enterprise
higher than they ever stood before.
ABOUT THE FESIASs.
The Herald's letter dated ottowa Sth says:
It is now beyond doubt that steps are to
be taken by the Canadian government to
meet the action of the Fenians. The Gov
ernment Executive council met in Montreal
on the 9TH and is to meet in this city on the
10th inst Enough has transpired to show
that the placing of large force on the from
trier was discussed. That force will likely
be at least twelve battaliOns numbering from
5000 TO S 200 and this will be backed by a
regular force now in the country amounting
TO about 10000 men. Montreal is to furnish
three bettalions or about | 500 men. Three
or four more will be raised east of this city
and in Canada West. Six or eight battal-
ions more will be raised, of these three will
come from Toronto, .... ........-. ..
ATTEMPTED SUICIDE OF WIRz. ...
New YORK, November 1.-THE morning
papers contain the following in relation to
the execution of Captain Wirz
A startling fact in connection with Wirz's
imprisonment which it has not been deemed
expedient to publish heretofore, may now
be given TO the public. This is no less than
an attempt to poison Wirz. When Mrs,
Wirz came here it was the desire of the
Government to give her every facility for
enjoying intercourse with her husband with
only such precautions as were indispensably
necessary. The first interview of Mrs.
Wirz with her husband was in his cell after
the commencement of his trial. Their
meeting was not at all of the character that
would be expected between man and wife
under such circumstances. There was no
appearance of tenderness, no embrace, nc
kiss, no tears and no apparent emotion Of
any kind on the part of either. The lady's
first words were - How are you Wnz?
"Well," he answered in gloomy voice. al
am getting along pretty WELL She looked
at him a moment and her next words were
When did you have on q clean shirt last
never saw you look SO dirty in my life. -
Wirz replied that he had one on within
the last week and began to complain of his
misfortunes. Their conversation through
out was cold and iippant and indicated
either that their relations had not been
very pleasant previously or that they were
| not really married. She took leave of him
| in the same manner. General Baker, the
| officer in charge, made arrangements that
! she should see him twice week. The second
| interview was as cool and devoid of affec-
/ ton as the first.
! The third interview was on Sunday, Octo-
| Der 29th. The two exchanged common
I place salutatiOns, as before, and INDUCED in
| common conversation. Gen. Baker saw Mrs.
| Wirz draw of her glove and saw again 8
| nervous motion of her hand, as though
| moving something in it which she desired
to conceal. As she rose to 60 she stepped
| up to Wirz and for the first time made s
movem mt to kiss him. Gen. Baker stooC
| at their side where he could see'the meeting
of their lips. 1t was not quick, passionat,
kiss. but Gen. Baker noticed they occupied
a longer time than was necessary, and tina
the movements of their lips was rather pc
culiar for a kiss. As their lips parted Gen
Baker was convinced that she had passed
something from her mouth into.his and b.
was about to swallow it. He sprang towart
Wirz and caught him by the throat. paytll
