LONDON, February 20.-Galway now
heads the list OF distressed counties, and
countless are the unhappy stories thai
come from within its borders. A cores
pondent on Her Majesty's gunboat Cos
hawk, which Is distributing meal among
the Western Islands, writes from Innis'
hara, of Galway;
at is terrible state OF affairs. Fifty
families here exc out miserable exis.
tence. Their houses are small heaps OF
dirty stones. Their land is rock and soft
bog. Hunger and want are every place
possible. The people go naked and with
out food. Many are slowly starving to
death. Such scenes OF appalling destitu.
tton never before witnessed. Every
step We took brought before our
view new and more fearful pic
lures Of destitution and suffering. The
more We saw the more certain did death
from starvation form the inevitable fate OF
nearly every man, woman and child on
the island. Gaunt, thin and pale were
the faces OF men who were naturally OF
herculean build. The features OF the wo.
men and children were overspread by the
ghastly palor OF hunger. In many cabins
children crouched shivering and almost
naked around the fire. When ] entered
they sprang behind their mother, Whose
single garment or thin dress was but the
slightest protection against the wind
which blew through the broken roof.
On the firewas the dinner, a pot Of brown,
green seaweed. tits certain that unless
they are well cared for dozens will die OF
starvation"
The same correspondent writes from In
niscofiin, concerning the shocking misad.
ministration on the part Of the officials
there. The government dispensary officer
had no drugs; the relieving officer no
food. One woman as least had died in
consequence. The Poor.law Inspector
had not visited the island for about three
years.

Confessions of the Bender Family.
 CHICAGO, Aug 6.-A special dispatch from Omaha, Neb., to the Tribune says: ''Yes, terday Mrs. Bender was visited in jail, at Fremont, by an Omaha reporter, to whom she said the first murder ever committed by her and her husband was ill Illinois, on their farm near Jacksonville. The victim asked for lodging and supper and in paying for the same in advance exhibited considerable money. While eating supper Bender cut his head in two from behind and he was dumped into the cellar through trap door arranged by Bender, who got his money. The corpse was buried the next morning back of the house. few weeks after this they went to Iowa, remaining there eight months. They then went to Indiana, living on the mur- dered mans money, and then went to Kan sas, where Bender's children (John and Kate) by his first wife. were iv- ing with her cousin Maggie They kept re- sort for travellers there and called 1t Bender s Hotel They had committed no murder pri- or to the old folks arrival, but in the course of time old Bender arranged trap door and then the murdering operations began. Kate at one time had man in bed with her, and she cut his throat and slept till morning be- side the corpse. His money was divided. She never injured horse thieves or cutthroats who came to her house, but entertained them well with her cousin Maggie. No murders were committed by the family after they had fled from Kansas Old Bender had confessed, believing that the old woman has escaped. His story tallies with his wifes exactly. He relates the history of the whole family and their crimes. The sheriff from Kansas is now probably at Lincoln, obtaining requi- sition from the Governor and will be at Fremont to-day:

Our Foreign NIarketa.


 WASHINGTON, Aug. 8.-The following is furnished by the Department of State: ''Day by day American products in European mar kets grow steadily into popular favor. The department is constantly in receipt of infor- nation from our consular officers in all parts of the world showing that this gratifying g exhibit is not confined by any means to Flu rope, but extends to every part of the globe. Their personal testimony not only bears wit ness to it, but the newspaper clippings from foreign journals which are from time to time forwarded to the Department of State by them are conclusive evidence of the fact. The public. at large have ade- quate conception of the extent to which our manufactures and products are entering and monopolizing foreign markets. A recent dis patch from the Consul of the United States at Geneva shows that American beef and live stock have even penetrated as far as that re- zion, and that the value of choice cattle raised in large quantities in Switzerland for the Paris and French markets has been sensibly diminished by importations from America Preserved meats and fruits from the United States are so well established and advertised he says, that they may be left to take of themselves, but butter and cheese could be sold in much larger quantities in Central and Southern Europe, and profitable market for the more nutritious brands of American flour could be found 4 newspaper slip, which he enclosed with his dispatch, taken from the Journal de Geneve of July 15, re- marks that every Swiss is aware of the in jury which has been sustained by the Swiss watch manufacturers, and that the same re- suit appears in the trade in butchers meat there being not family which does not ire quently buy one of the so-called Chicago cases, containing salt beef or pork of an e1- cellent quality.

At three minutes before 12 o'clock Dr. Tanner drew a penknfe from his pocket, and after nervously looking at his watch began to peel large peach that he had fondled in his left hand for half an hour His lips moved as though the bangs of hun ger were forcing them, but his teeth were rieidIy set and his eyes were fixed with all the intensity of his tremendous will power.

Watching the Cuban Coast.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8.-The United States steamship Powhattan, which has been cruis ing along the Cuban coast for some time past, with view of preventing any further insults to the American flag by Spanish wal vessels, arrived at the naval station at Port Royal S. C., Friday evening, although the Navy department has determined to have g United States vessel in that locality continu- ously, at least for the presents. The depar- ture of the Powhattan leaves the coast with out any American man-of-war. The Vandalis will, however, in few days be ordered to proceed thither and remain until relieved It is thought this course will be followed ul each vessel remaining for several weeks until the questions growing out of the alleged outrages on American schooners are definite ly settled between the two governments.

There is no party that feels much inclined to sell stocks under the present out look, and the result Is gradual upward movement from week to week.
