Gov. Foster, for delegate at large,came
near being scooped, and run far behind
the other successful candidates, He re-
ceived but 355 votes, 19 o than was
enough, while Dennison got 4o3, Car
field 400, and Bateman Az. In his old
district he got but 7 votes, half Of SEN
eca and Hancock, and did not get a
vote from Erie, Huron or Sandusky. 1t
looks as if he was losing his grip among
Republicans in Ohio, and especially in
this district. We can't account for this

A Tribune correspondent, in a lecture
in New York the other evening, summed
up the Irish question in this way;
Famine and landlords were the twin
curses of Ireland. The real causes OF the
periodical famines, "were landlord abso
iutism and absenteeism and uureStrained
rack rents" BY the present system 5000
or 1000 landlords got out of the land
$780, 600, 900 a year, while they did moth
ing but hunt a fox or the peasanta, The
Government which permits this, extract
cd $35, 900, 900 more, and there was left
only about $50, O00, 900 to feed and clothe

Red Shirt Rackets-HancOc
Gloomy and RegretfuI.

Chicago, 27.-The Inter- Oceans
Washington contains extracts from a
letter from Senator Tafts, OF South
Carolina, in which is detailed the
manner in which the red shirts broke
up republican meeting at Hinns-
boro. He was met at the train by a
large party OF these drunken wretches,
who insisted on escorting him to the
grove where the meeting WAS to be
held and where be was to speak. De-
Ginning their pro1ered aid, he started
with few republicans to walk there,
but was immeditely set upon, hustled,
cursed and threatened so that his life
was barely saved by the intervention
OF few less violent and more con-
sentative democrats. The latter
made the excuse that the men were
drunk. Taft says this sort of thing is
continually happening in South Caro-
lima, and even the democratic MetCs
and Courier, OF Charleston, is COM
PEELED to denounce it of late, declaring
the action red shirts indefensible,
although at the same time exousing
it.

OREIGN.

London, 27.-The most recent off,
cial intelligence possessed by the gov
eminent leaves no doubt that the
district around Osbul is in q state of
disturbance. Home officials thus
account .or. the break in the com.
munications between Cabul and
5imls. The British political agent
at CAbul was constant in his com
munioations with the Indian govern
ment, and the fact OF these communi
cations being interrupted, together
with the absence of Afghan news 10

to belief in the probability of the
alleged outbreak having occurred.
Buds, Pesth. 27.-At the sitting OF
the Austrian delegation OF the COM
mittee on foreign affairs, Baron Won
Haymerle, president of the imperial
ministry, replying to several questions
said that for the Montenegrin oues-
ton there could be but one pro
gramme, namely. the execution OF
the Berlin treaty; that the intention
Of the Porte to cede Dnlcigno was
beyond all doubt. and that the pre-
sent hitch in negotiations is connected
with purely military details. The
Austrian government, be said. felt
bound to exercise lite full diplomatic
influence in favor of Greece. The
principal aim of the powers was to
confer with one another On each
individual incident, and to coociliate
their respective views. There could
be no doubt that Austria and the
other powers still intend to maintsin
the Ottoman power. There was also
every reason to hope that com
mercial treaty with Germany would
he satisfactorily concluded. Baron
VonHaymsrle asserted positively that
Austria and Germany had acted in
close concert ia every single incident
in relation to the eastern question.
and more especially with regard to
the naval denomination.

The committee on amendments re-
ported adversely to the proposition TO
permit missionary bishops to speak
on questions before the house, but
not to vote. Judge Prince, OF Long

After the passage OF complimentary
