LONDON, Nov. An editorial in the
Times this morning which is based on the
announcement of the failure ofthe armistice,
deplores the obdurscy Of the Paris govern
ment 10 endeavoring to exact too exorbitant
terms. The city is inexcussble to longer
harbor deusions as to the prac.icability of a
truce. There Is nothing now to relieve the
darkness of the future
The Prussians we're disappointed to find
Paris so stubborn. They have now
calculated that Paris can hold ont lust 65
days from the lst of November, withou,
cspitulsting, through starvation, and that if
Paris does not fall before bonn bsrdment,
that it will fall by January Sd, through
starvation. The result one way or the other
must be surrender. The forces necessary
to accomplish this end, it continues, are
ready to do and to suffer ell things. That
the war will only show, of the two infexible
wills opposed in this conflict, which has the
most strength.
1t is said that Bismsrck's refusal to allow
Paris to revictual during the srmstice. re.
suited in the close of the conference, Theirs
having communicated to the Paris govern
ment this determination of Bismarck, and
their unwillingness TO continue further ne.
gotistions.
Consols, for money, 92ss; for account, 90.
Bonds, s9}Gs93.

emburg and Grand Duchies of Baden and
Hesse have joined the North German con-
federation.

MEMPHIS, Nov. "A mysterious murder
was committed here on Saturday night,
one Of the foulest that has ever been com
mitted in this city. 1t appears that Chas
Miller, bar keeper, was literally pounded
to death, in a house on Sheldon street. an d
soon after the murder an inquest was held,
and the body buried. The Chief of Police
having learned the circumstances, caused
the arrest of about twenty persons, who gave
their evidence at the inquest, end had
Miller's body exhumed and brought to the
city, where post morfem
examination is now being held.
The indication points a saloon keeper
as the murderer, as yet he evaded the vige-
lance of the police.
John Lahee, . section man of the
Memphis railroad, WAS run over by q pass
enger train, near Paris. on Friday, while in
toxicated. and was instantly killed.
