EUGENE in ENGLAND.
A stormy Interview with PIon-PIon

The London Daily Ne'OS of the 2Sth ultimo
contains long and interesting defense of the
course of the Empress Eugenie which appears
to be authoritative. 1t claims that her residence
at Chiselhurst is not resort of intriguers, and
the visits of the imperialists to her are not en-
couTaged. The communication concludes with
the following singular recital:-
at is proper to add that family intrigues
succeed no better with the Empress than those
which are hatched from beyond the Rhine.
What is known of the two interviews between
the Empress and her cousin, Prince Napoleon,
serves to show her tirmness and her just appre-
citation of men as well az of circumstances. 1t
is we'll known, indeed, that the Emperor's cou-
sin has never been in any great odor of sanctity
at the TuileIies, and that the Empress personally
has taken little pains to conceal her proposes
sions against one whom she has always cons-
dered the Emperor's enemy. The political temper
ament of Prince Napoleon and his philosophical
and moral opinions were, it is true, but little in
accordance with those of the Empress, and the
sad events of which France has been the victim
did not in any sway tend to reconcile views
or feelings between which there had been no
possible point OF contact. Be that as it may,
and not to push an inquiry into psychological
peculiaritles, it is certain that the second and
last visit of Prince Napoleon at Chiselhurst
ended in an explosion. The Prince may pro-
test as much as he likes, that will not alter the
facts.
During this last visit Prince Napoleon with
his usual impulsiyeness, allowed himself to ex.
press somewhat harshly his opinions touching
The Inherent ministries OF the last month OF
the Empire, and he went so far as to call one of
them u ministry of idiots (cretiaS). Now, the
sentiment of gratitude is very strong with the
Empress, and she made reply to her illustrious
cousin of which the following sentences convey
the substance, if not The precise words:-1
know not Monseigneur, said the Empress, what
you mean by ministry of idiots, but what do
know is that down TO the last moment the
Emperor was served by devoted and faithful
friends. For the last eighteen years you have
opposed the empire. You and those about YOU
have never ceased to undermine IL; and to-day,
when the Emperor is fallen, you pursue him
still. Had you been at Paris on the 4th Septem-
Der you might have been able to give us good
advice, but you were absent, as you have so
often happened to be, at the moment of danger;
of course to your great regret, as / do not
doubt Upon this Prince Napoleon tarried no
longer. He took up his hat and left the room. ="

THE PRINCESS LOUISE.
Her Approaching Marriage with the Marquis
L0rue.

correspondent of the New York EUenilg
Post writes from London as follows
The probability of marriage between the
Marquis of Lorne and the Princess Louise has
for some time been talked about in England. A
feeling has widely prevailed that as eligible
Protestant princes are hard to find, and every
year has made the failure o. the male line of the
royal family less likely, an alliance with the
representative of one of the great historic
families of the peerage would be very fit and
proper. The royal marriage act prohibiting
such alliances, except with the consent of the
sovereign, was passed in the reign of George the
Third, and had its origin in the very undesirable
connection formed by that monarch's brothers,
and the chickering's and jealousies which resulted
from them.
Tie Princess Louise. in selecting husband
among her mothers subjects, could scarcely
have made q choice less likely to cause jealousy
than in fixing upon Lord Lorne. He belongs to
a famous historic house; he is personally de-
serving and perfectly unassuming; his maternal
grandmother, the late Duchess of Sutherland,
was the Queens dearest friend, and her com
panion and consoler in the darkest hour of her
deep bereavement; and his mother has also en-
loved large share of her soVereign's affection.
Although in point of rank and reputation
second to none in the British peerage, the house
of Argyll is in respect of wealth by no means in
so advantageous a position, and the Prlncess's
choice proves how slight an importance she and
her mother attach to money as means of hap
piness. John, Duke of Argyll, created also
Duke of Greenwich in England, who plays so
prominent and picturesque part in the Heart
of Midlothian =" had no son, and at his death
large slice of his fortune was divided amsng his
daugh ghters. The eldest married the heir of the
then Duke of Buccleuch carrying considerable
wealth into that family. This circumstance,
together with the reckless extravaganza of sub
sequent holders of the title, has tended consi-
derably to reduce the once princely revenues of
the Dukes of Argyll. However, the present
peer is so prudent and sensible man, and real
estate in Scotland increases steadily in value,
that probably another twenty years will see his
vast property in a great degree free from incum-
brances and adequate to support the dignity OF
the new alliance.
The dowry of the Princess Royal vas 5000, 900,
and an annuity of $4,000; that Of Princess
Louise of Hesse $780, 900, and $50, 900 annTty.
Probably that of the Princess Louise will be
fixed at a sum not exceeding that of the usual
settlement made on the wife of a wealthy Eng
lish nobeman, S25 coo year.
Lord Lorne's only married sister is the wife
of Earl Percy, eldest son of the Duke of North
cumberland.

BUTLER'S PROGRAMME FOR THE
FUTURE.

HIS Views on the Future Policy of the Repub-
Ilcan ParIy-The AIn0ama Claims TO Fur
nish Capital for the Presidential Campaign.
LOWELL, Mass, Nov. 7,-General Butler, in a
recent conversation, said that he Intends TO
make q speech at an early day upon what he
holds to be the policy the administration ought
to pursue in order to keep the Republican party
together, and give 1t new Vigor and such hold
upon public confidence as 10 insure its triumph
in the next Presidential canvass, and he gave
an outline of the opinions he intends to present.
The Republican party, he said, Is not now
united upon siugle question OF public policy.
Upon the tariff question it is split in two by the
backbone of the Alleghenles. Upon all tinan-
cal issues the division is almost as marked.
The party has no longer any coherent force, and
recognizes no leadership. 1t gives no support
to the administration il has chosen, which was
not able at the last session OF Congress to
carry single one of the measures it pro-
posed. The San Domingo treaty failed in
the Senate in splle of all the influence the Pre-
sident could bring TO bear. CTeswells one idea
OF abolishing the ranking privilege was lost.
The Secretary of the Navy did not get the ap-
propriatous he asked for 10 carry on his depart
ment. The army was reduced, Notwithstanding
the protests of the War Department. Tue at
torpey- Generals Office was Knocked into pi.
Boutwell's financial measures were badly cut
up. here was never before an administration
possessing so little influence with a Congress of
its own party.

trust power to a party which sided with the
cOuntry's enemies during the war. These war
memories will not last much longer, however,
and cannot be counted upon to furnish political
capital for the Presidential struggle two years
hence. By that time The Democrats will have
fully accepted the results of the war. Re-
construction, suffrage, and all domestic issues
growing out of it will have been fully settled
and finally disposed of, and will furnish no pos
sible foundation for the Republican party to
construct platform upon. There is one
question of the war, however, that is not set
tied. and that is the foreign question. The

hands Of Great Britain are not yet healed, and

gentleman who came down from Fort
Buford, says the Sioux City Daily Times, gives
us the following information regarding a spe-
cics of animal hitherto unknown on this con-
tinent:-
"Sir John E. Packenham, an officer in the
English army, who had been spending the last
year in her Majesty's northern provinces, ar
rived at Fort Buford with an animal of rare
beauty, and never before caught on this conti-
nent nor has it been known till late years that
this species existed in this country. 1t is of the
same family as the giraffe, or cameleopard, of
Africa and is known to naturalists the
Tygomelia. They are known to inhabit the
high table lands of Cashmere and Hindoo
Rosh, but are more frequently seen on the
high peaks of lthe Himalaya Mountains.
The animal was taken when quite
young, and is thoroughly domesticated, and
follows its keeper like dog. 1t is only four
months old, and ordinarily stands about five
feet high, but is capable of raising its head two
feet, which makes the animal seven feet when
standing erect. 1t is of dark brown or mouse
color, large projecting eyes, with slight indica-
tions of horns growing out. This wonderful
animal was caught north of Lake Athabasea,
on the waters of Mackenzie's river. 1t has
means it can carry subsistence for seve-
raj days. 1t was very fleet, being able
to outfoot the fastest horse in the country.
The black dapper spots on the rich brown
color make it one of the most beautiful animals
in existence, more beautiful than the leopard of
the Chinese Jungle. Sir John did not consider
il safe to transport his pet by water down the
Mississippi River, fearing the uncertain naviga-
tion and the great change of climate from the
Mauitabo to The sunny South. lie has, there

A BRUISER,S WIFE.
Coburn Shot BY Her Puaillstlc Husband.

Mrs. CoburB Shot by Her PuGiiisttc HUSBAND
About 4 O'clock this morning, as officer
Quinn, of the Fifteenth precinct was patrolling
his post on Broadway, near Eighth street, he
was appro ached by woman In half,nude
state, who asked to be taken to the Eighth Ward
Station House. She said her name was Mrs.
Coburn, and that her husband, Joe Coburn, the
prize-fghter, had just shot her through the
ripht Shoulder at their rooms in the New
York Hotel. Quinn took the woman TO
the Fifteenth Precinct Station House,
where Police Surgeon Freely dressed her
wounds. officer Quinn, with two other
policemen, went to the New York Hotel, corner
of Eighth street and Broadway, aud arrested
CobuTn, who was asleep in bed. He was subse-
quently arraigned at Jefferson Market, but his
wife failed to make any charge. Judge Fowler
discharged the prisoner. Coburn's account OF
the affair is that he came home drunk, and
while trying to take off his clothes, preparatory
to going to bed, his pistol accidentally went of,
the ball striking his wife in the right shoulder,
as above stated. Mrs. Coburn, when taken to
the station house, said that her husband had
fired at her three times. This is probably the
truth. as Coburn was in beastly state of intox-
ication, and had not recovered from the effects

Losses.
Governor Hoffman goes out of this city with
a majority OF 81, ,O37, on vote OF 100, 1885, with
re registration of 142, 666. Two years ago his ma
iority was 68, $50. Mayor Halls majority over
Ledwith falls over $4,000 short of Governor
Hoffman's, amounting to only %, Sll. The De-
mocratic majority in the State cannot yet be
given with accuracy, but it is certainly not less
than $4,000, and may turn out considerably
more.
According to the best information yet attain
able, the Assembly stands 66 Republicans to 62
Democrats; but as several districts are some
what in doubt, the actual returns may vary the
result, and possibly even change the majority.
We have lost three members of Congress in
New York, in the Fifteenth, Eighteenth, and
Thirtieth districts; we have probably lost three
members in Illinois, in the Third, Fifth, and
Eighth districts; one in Wisconsin, one in
Michigan, several in Missouri, and per-
haps one in Alabama; and have gained
one in New Jersey, one in Minnesota,
one or two in Kentucky, and three possibly
four-in Louisiana. The Republicans will have
from so to 90 majority in the new House of
Representatives. We deplore losses but shall
affect no regret that, coupled with the evil thus
wrought, comes the corresponding benefit of a
majority not so large as to breed dissensions or
stimulate reckless action.-N 7. Tribune ed.
