BEHEADED BY A BERLIN BUTCHER


LONDON, August 16.-A dispatch from
Berlin says that Hoedel, who attempted the
assassination of Emperor William May 10th,
was executed this morning. The reluctance
of the Emperor to permit the execution was
at last overcome, and the Imperial decree
was issued commanding the carrying out of
the sentence of the Court. Hoedel was in
formed of his fate only short time before
the time fixed. He received the announce
ment at first stolidly, but afterwards be-
trayed great agitation.
Some difficulty had been experienced in
obtaining an executioner. 1t is reported
that the man who at last accepted the task
is respectable butcher of Berlin. When
conducted to the place of execution Hoedel
trembled and his countenance was ashy.
The business was very quickly done. He
was made to kneel down, the executioner
raised an immense double-handed sword
and the head fell upon the scaffold. 1t is
reported that the executioner refused any
reward.
PARLIAMENT PRoRoGUED.
LONDON Aug 16-Parliament was pro-
rogued to-day by speech from the Queen,
which was read by the Lord Chancellor,
Many of the members had already left
town, and the attendance in each House
was small. Her Majesty in her address
says that the peace which had been con-
cluded is satisfactory to her and to the
other Powers of Europe. 1t is likely to be
a durable peace and one that will promote
the best interests of her subjects. The in
dependence of Turkey has been thoroughly
secured, and it can be upheld against.ag-
gression from every quarter, while at the
same time the internal resources of the
Empire, both in Europe and Asia, may be
developed and promoted
Her Majesty says that her relations with
all foreign powers are friendly and harmo-
NOUS. She reviews, by merely naming
them, the important legislations of the ses-
sion, and thanks Parliament for the cordial
and dutiful manner in which it has pro-
vided for the needs of the public service.

tween Austria and Turkey for the occupa-
ton of Bosnia by Austria has been signed

THE KIssENGEN NEGOTIATIONS.
LONDON, Aug 16-The information con-
tanned in these dispatches some days since
concerning the result of the negotiations at
Kissengen between the Papal Nuncio and
Prince Bismarck, is confirmed by sinful
taneous adyices from Berlin and from
Rome. The Falck laws are to remain on
the statute book, with the understanding
that they are not to be enforced. They are
to be suffered to become dead letters, like
the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill in England,
and the still unrepealed anti-J esuit laws
in England, Ireland and Scotland. The ex-
lied Bishops are to be allowed to return,
but they must make no parade. The va
cant parishes are to be gradually filled up
with appointments not Objectionable to the
Government For the present the exiled
members of the religious Orders are not to
return. 1t is to be understood that these
agreements are not embodied in any paper
that is to be made public, but they are
merely to rest upon an understanding with
each party.
BISMARCK AND THE PORTE.
LONDON, Aug 16.-Advices from Paris
and Berlin speak of some excitement in
both these cities, caused by Prince Bis
marck's peremptory messages to the Sui
tan, and in political and financial circles
the news of this message has created some
agitation, 1t is held here that under all
the circumstances and considering the init
mate relations which now exist between
England and Turkey, that this threat, if
necessary at all, should have come from
England. 1t is claimed also that Turkey
has moved in the matter with as much
celerity as possible and that the Porte is not
responsible for the resistance offered to
Austria in Bosnia nor for delays elsewhere.
There is report that the Porte has re-
quested Mr.. Layard to ask the English Gov
ernment to demonstrate with Germany
against the tone of Prince Bismarck's S dis
patch and the threat contained in it.
