LONDON, June 2O.-Prince Napol-
con who has become head of the line
is a Democrat in politics and is dis
tasteful to the entire Bonapartist fol-
lowing. He has two sons, aged fifteen
and seventeen years respectively.
Party loyalty will be made to fasten
around the name of one of these sons,
but for time the imperial councils
must be distracted, and a possibility
Of the return of the empire appear
more like shadows than ever.
Another special from South Africa
says the Prince Imperial had been
sent forward by the quartermaster
general to sketch a site for the next
camp. When the volley was fired not
single Zulu was to be seen. The
party dispersed and sought safety un.

seen alive again. His horse joined

GUS kinds of merchandise and fourteen

came back and asked for certain points
in the charge to be read over. As
these words of curt, precise law fell
from Judge Hillyer's lips, it became
evident that there was no escape for
Hill. The judge even held that if
Hill had met Simmonds accidentally,
and been stirred to sudden heat at the
thought of his wrongs, and had then
shot him, the crime might have been
less than murder; but that, as he had
hunted him up deliberately for the
purpose Of shooting him, the crime
was murder, and could be nothing
else. The verdict was promptly
reached after this. 1t is said that
before the charge the jury was eleven
to one for acquittal.
Hill took the verdict in a stolid
manner, and showed no grief. His
wife smiled and laughed as she looked
up and kissed him. 1t was evident
that she expected an acquittal, and
though the verdict was what she was
looking for. A new trial has been
moved for, and insanity will be plead
ed. There are many who think Hill
is insane.

CONGRESSIONAL.
The Senate Committee Hope
Soon to Fix a Date for
Adjournment.

WASHINGTON, June 2O.--SENATE
Mr.. Davis (W. Va.), from the com
mittee on appropriations, stated that
the committe had not been able, in
view of the'state of business before
the senate, to report the resolution
fixing the date of adjournment, but
hoped to be able to do so soon.
Mr.. Rollins presented the creden-
tials Of Henry W. Blair, of New
Hampshire, and he was sworn in.
Mr.. salisbury, from the committee
on privileges and elections, reported
resolution authorizing the committee
to investigate the memorials on the
ingalls, contested election case.
Placed on the calendar.
Mr.. Wallace rose to question of
privilege and presented the report of
the conference committee on the judi
cial expenses bill, and asked its pres,
ent consideration.
Mr. Conkling said he did not know
how far the committee had confined
themselves to adjusting the disagree
ing vote, and objected to considering
the report in view of an understand
ing on the army bill. If another mis-
understanding arose by reason of
crowding out debate the Republicans
would be to blame.
After an animated discussion Mr..
Wallace withdrew the report.
Mr.. Carpenter made speech on the
army bill. He said that the army in
time of peace was a police force, and
any use made of it was as a police
force. The intent of the bill was
plain-to prevent any use of it what
ever on election day, and it forbade
the President to respond to the call of
any State for aid.
Mr.. ingalls, followed Mr.. Carpenter
by defense and eulogy of the
Presidents action on the apprOpria-
tion bill.
HoUsE.-The legislative appropria-
tion bill was reported by the commit
tee on enrolled bills and signed by the
speaker. The house then went into
committee on private calendar.

LIVERPOOL, June 2O.-Funke &
Co., German firm engaged in the
cotton trade, is involved by the trans
actions of person identified with the
firm, who abSconded. Il. Weber, who
absconded, it seems was a representa-
tive of the German branch of the
firm. He speculated in the name Of
the Liverpool firm, but without their
knowledge or authority. He sold

HILLYER'S HOBBY,
And a Revelation to the People Of the
South---A Man May Kill Another
Only in SeIf-Defense.
Special to the Cincinnati Enquirer ]

Special to the Cincinnati EnQuirerl
ATLANTA, GA, June Is. "A
genuine sensation was created last
evening by the charge of Judge
Hillyer in the Hill case. Since time
immemoriai it has been held in the
South that a man might avenge in
any way the seduction OF his wife or
daughter or sister. The defense
rested Hills case entirely on this
sentiment, which, while it has no
place ON the statute books, has been of
force always. Judge Hillyer, in his
charge told the jury pointedly that
this was not the law that a man
could only kill in defense of his
wife when the assailant was in the
act or attempting it, and could
then only 90 so far as to prevent
its progress that if caught in the
act he might be justified in Staying
the seducer; but he held that if cool
ing time had been allowed-if time
had elapsed so that reason might re-
assert its sway-the killing would be
murder. He warned the jury that
under their oaths they could not take
sentiment for law, and that if, as
counsel had argued, there had been
iuries that had decided a man might
| kill the seducer or paramour Of his
wife, and shoot him down like dog,
this only showed the weakness or
wickedness of those juries, and did
not make law. He then said that he
would be cowardly and unfaithful if
he failed as a Judge to give the jury
the law as it was found in the statute
books.
The charge was received with pro-
found astonishment. II broke down
the traditions Of century, and gave a
new idea to the hearers. The jury re-
tired doubtfully, and, as was expected,
