The Spaniards had an election Monday for
members of the .Cortes. 1t was what would
be termed general election in England. The
returns have been reported by cable, as they
reached Madrid Monday night. They incl
cate that the republicans have gained an &C.
cession Of strength to their former force in
the Legislature. This new power comes chief
ly from the municipal or civic centres. The
republicans carried twenty-three out Of forty
eight Of the provincial capitals and forty
eight of the smaller towns.

LABOR REFORM IN CONGRESS.

Mr.. Hoar of Massachusetts reported a

appointment of commission to investi-
gate the matters connected with labor re-
form and report to the President and Con-

NEW HAMPSHIRE.

That was bad omen for the democracy
of New Hampshire which took place on
Monday at Manchester While the dele
gates of the party were assembling at
Concord to nominate Governor Weston,
in high expectation of electing him again,
the city of Manchester. the place OF his
residence, which gave him majority last
spring, elected a republican Mayor by 649
majority This undoubtedly cooled the
ardor of the democracy at their conyen-
ton on Tuesday, and created an unusual
demand for artificial stimulants. 1t is
blow from which they cannot recover; the
death knell of Weston's hopes. The
signs are that New Hampshire will take
her place in the republican column next
March with as strong a majority as ever.

The cable dispatches have variously repre-
scented the disease of the Prince of Wales as
the typhus and the typhoid fevers. The Lon
don Times of the 29th ult. sets all doubt on
this point at rest. The Prince is suffering
from severe form Of typhoid or entcric
fever strictly zymotic in origin, the poison
which produces it being derived from imper-
fec; sewage and decaying vegetables. The
more severe effects of this poison are to pro-
duce the fever; its minor effects are to induce
less serious disturbances in the human sys-
TEN. The unfortunate Prince appears to
have contracted the disease while sojourning
with Lord Londesborough, as did others of
his party, among them LORD Chesterfield,
who survived the attack but few days. In
the case of Lord Chesterfield the worst and
always fatal form of the disease early became
manifest, viz: malignant liberation of the
intestines. Doubtless it is the evidence of
this form of the fever upon the Prince which
has banished hope from the minds Of his at
tendant physicians.
