ADJUSTMENTS.

THE GRAND OPERA HOUsE-"KERRY cow"
Tho announcement that Mr.. Joseph Murphy would
again appear in ''The Kerry Cow" puy which he
has made familiar ana which he has become pop
uar drew to the Grand Opera House, notwithstand-
ing nclemency Of the weather last evening, large
and appreciative audience The drama is one OF the
thoroughly Irish family, replete with paihos humoi
and adventure and in many Of its aspects recalls the
best memories Of Barney Williams and William
Florence whom they werc engaged in making reputa-
tions out OF public tears and enthusiasm Mr.. Murphy
possesses much of the style of the two artists above
named, although lacking, perhaps, somewhat OF the
nicely moduated and sympathetic tones which are
always such strong eaure in the rendition of Irish
sentiment His stage business. however. is easy nat
ura and effective and c0mpensates Tor UGH OF his
shortcomings the opposite direction, and with the
same conscientious study continued that he has
already given his work. he bids fair to be worthy
of some Of the best of our early Irish actors
Mr. Murphy ably supported by Miss Annie Ward
Tiffany who filled the title roe Of the heroine Norah
Drew Most OF tho subordinate parts likewise showed
careful selection the support while the handsome
setting OF the piece was In thorough keeping with the
reputation Of the managers and the resources OF the
theatre.

but people are as impatient OF cold news as
of cold dinner. The HERALD has long
made it rule to keep its readers as
promptly informed of European as OF
American transactions. II anything which
takes place on the other side of the Atlantic
is worth knowing at all it better satisfies
public intelligence and curiosity to know 1t
at once.
We do not know that we have anything to
add to the comments we made on the ex-
traordinary flibustering scenes in the House
of Commons while the news was fresh. The
fierce denunciation Of the little band OF
Irish members as "obstructives" by the
London press does not annihilate the
parliamentary rights of minorities Such
rights are not as we'll defined and carefully
limited in the House of Commons as IN
our own national House of Representatives,
but in either body it is legitimate for the
minority to take full advantage OF the exist
ing rules on special occasions. We appre-
bend that the English Parliament has some
thing valuable to learn from the rules and
practice of American Legislative bodies.

A report comes from Rio Grande City, by
way of Galveston, to the effect that bold
outrage has just been perpetrated Mt the
former place by Mexican banditti. Fifteen
armed Mexicans entered the town, broke
open the Jail, shot Judge Cox and the jailer
and released two notorious outlaws who
were imprisoned there. The civil authori-
ties called upon the military for protection,
and the despatch states that Major Price,
with one hundred regulars and two Calling
guns, started in pursuit of the Mexican
band, but failed to overtake them before
they had made good their escape across tho
river. Rio Grande City lies nearly opposite
Camargo, and in the immediate neighbour
hood of the old Ringgold Barracks.
1t will be seen by our special dispatches
that the Governor of Texas has at once made
a demand on the Governor of Tamaulipas
for the surrender under extradition of the
two escaped prisoners and the men who
attacked the Jail, two of whom were recog-
nized. He also reports that General Ord,
piece of lawlessness as pertaining more to
the civil than the military authorities
has already consulted with General Trevi7io
about it, and has warned him that II
the civil authorities of the State of Tamau-
lipas do not act promptly and effectively in
this case, and arrest and surrender the GRIM
inals and the escaped prisoners, it will be
difficult to convince President Hayes that
they are not in sympathy with them. II the
Mexican authorities are wise they will call on
General Ord to help them capture these fell
lows. The case, however, it must be noticed,
is entirely different from the usual border
raids for cattle. A number of Mexican Grim
inals crossed the river from Camargo to re-
lease friends of theirs confined in the Jail
at Rio Grande City. The authorities of
Camargo have promptly arrested the ferry
men who presumably set the band across
the river and from Washington we learn
that Sefior Mata, Mexican Envoy, has news
that General Benevides has ordered mill
tary pursuit Of the outlaws.
We have news also of an attack by
five Indians on Texan county surveyor
near the Pecos River, in Western Texas.
In this case parties have gone out in pur-
suit Of the Indians. Our San Antonio cor
respondent reports that the Lipans in
Chihuahua are still mourning over the men
killed by Captain Bulls in his vigorous pur-
suit of party of them across the border
few weeks ago.

News from the Scat of War.

The condition of preparation still prevails
in Bulgaria, both within the Russian and
Turkish lines. Beyond the mountains the
Turks have been reoccupying some of the
passes and the towns on the southern slopes
of the Balkans, recently held by the Rus
slams and insurgent Bulgarians From
Eski Saghra comes the terrible story that
the Turks have burned the hospital in
which eight hundred sick and wounded
were lying, and that thousands Of the in
habitants are OH the point of death from
starvation. A suggestion has been made to
collect oil these poor people in city Of
refuge on an island near Constantinople
which shall be placed under the control
of the neutral Powers. But nothing
has been or is being done to relieve
the sufferings of these homeless VIC
tins Of tho war; In Armenia much
secrecy surrounds the Russian advance,
but we learn that considerable bodies Of
troops are encamped under the shadow Of
Ararat. waiting for the development of the
Russian plans. No doubt we will shortly
hear of another attempt to capture Kars,
but whether it will be successful or not de-
ponds good deal on Mukhtar Pacha's
army as covering force That the war is
not likely to close soon is indicated by the
reported resignation of Prince Gortschakoff,
who is the leader OF the moderates in the
Russian Court.

upon which she has embarked. The Brit
ish government, eager to venture its sordid
policy of supporting the barbarism in which
it has money interest, is restrained by the
unsympathetic attitude of the great mass Of
the British people; but Russian victory,
while it might have changed the attitude Of
the English people, would certainly have
inspired the government with desperate
readiness to take the chances. Austria
would have been startled from it's underlined
tranquility, and the Sultan himself would
have been eager to make peace. All this
would have brought to bear on the Gar and
his Cabinet such pressure as would have
induced him to accept the autonomy OF Bull
garia and perhaps division of the Ottoman
feet as the substantial results of the war.
Thereby would have been lost an opportu-
nifty for the exclusion of the Turks from
Europe that may not present itself again for
centuries As the event has turned Eng
land believes the Turk all sufficient, and
will leave him alone to fight out his own
salvation. Austria remains in that condl-
ton of chronic apprehension from which
she has not recovered since Sadowa /; France
is over busy at home, and Prussia has nd
other active interest in the conflict than
through that family relationship Of the two
courts which induces her to ardently desire
Russian success Therefore the Gear has
before him the occasion that has been the
aspiration of his race for centuries. There
are none to obstruct by international COM
plications the campaign by which the civ
ilized peoples hope he may make effective and
practical that protectorate of the Christian
people which has never been morally aban-
doned. He has the power, and we believe
the will, and a fortunate defeat has fur
nished the occasion for him to 60 forward
and make Constantinople once more y
Christian city.

Filibustering in Pariiament.

Such of our readers as may have CHANGED
to look into the other city journals yester-
day must have been struck and amused with
their elaborate London letters describing
the extraordinary scenes of filibustering
which took place in the English Parliament
twelve days ago, and which were promptly
and copiously reported by cable in the
HERALD of the next morning That news
was certainly important enough to be worth
giving in' DETAIL even at this late
day, for readers who had not previously
seen 1t, for it is one of the things
of which no well informed man would
wish to be ignorant. But the HERALD
makes it point to furnish interesting for
eign as we'll as domestic news while it is
fresh. There is even less excuse for COM
polling readers to wait for slow communica-
ton by mail for transatlantic news than for
important occurrences in our own country.
All American journals, except few weak
ones in rural towns, have long ceased to
depend on the mails for Washington news,
although it would involve delay of only
twenty-four hours. The delay OF about
fortnight in foreign news makes it too stale
for the market when it can be promptly
given on the next morning. To be
sure there is great difference in the ex-
pense of copious telegraphing from London
and copious teIesraphing from Washington,
