The Burmese Sacrifice-Ehe SuPersti- tiOn That Caused 1t.
 LONDON, April PA private dispatch re- ceived at Liverpool says that the King of Burnah is dead. No further details are given of the horrible scenes which preceded his death. The dispatch states, however, that the death of the King, who was almost uni versally feared and hatsd, has had tranquilli- zing effect on the people. The question of successor to the throne may be attended with some difficulty, but no cause for anxiety is thought to exist as to the future tranquility of the kingdom.
 A dispatch from Rapgoon to the Daily News says: ''The following is an explanation of the massacres at Mandalay: When a city is built in Burmah human sacrifices are of fered up. The evil spirits are irritated that there has been no change of capital, and the virtue of the old sacrifices being gone, to ap- pease them the astrologers declared it was necessary to offer up 700 lives. The sacri- fees were made by the order of King Thee Baw."
 More Votes than Volers-,The Liberal Gains. LONDON April 12-One of the most inter esting of the electoral contests is now in prog ress in Scotland, that for the representation of Edinburgh and St. Andrews Universities There are two candidates Right Honorable Geo.

O8O votes over the whole number of regis tered voters at the election of 1874. There are many rumors ahoat as to snpposltlons of foul play or of put up game for fun, but committees of the universities have arranged that vote for vote shall be recorded until one side is exhausted.
 Up to this time the Liberals have elected 349 seats in the next Parliament, the Tories 22S and the Home Rulers 57. The net Lib eral gains are 109. Only 19 seats now remain vacant.
