Brennan Under Arrest-TremendOus Ex-
citement Among the People.
DUBLIN, May 23.-Thomas Brennan, sec
rotary of the Land League, has been arrest
ed by order of the Lord Lieutenant under
rest was made in this city this afternoon
The condition of affairs in ireland hourly
becomes more and more gloomy and threat
ening. The remark is heard everywhere
among the people that the government is
trying every means to drive US to despair.
They want to torment us until we can stand
it no longer, and then because we revolt
they will NOW us down with their artillery
and their rifles. The general feeling in Dub
lin outside circles Immediately connected
with the castle is that the arrest of MIR. Bren-
nan is a wanton act of petty malice or else
one of the steps which are deliberately
taken to drive the people into acts of resist
ance and violence. Mr.. Brennan in a COM
plant made to the Lord Lieutenant asking
the reason for his arrest, was charged with
melting the populace to violence on an accu-
sation which in the opinion of most people
here cannot be sustained. He was taken
wholly by surprise, having received no init
nation of a probability of his arrest. He
was arrested by Detective Mullen Just as he
was leaving the Offices of the Land League to
go to luncheon. He was conveyed to Mas
Jail, where he now is. The evaporation of
the people as they see day after day their
friends and spokesman suddenly snatched
away from them and locked up for an indefi-
mite period without even chance to have
been seen or of speaking hourly increases.
The English government, with all its fine
promises, is doing its best to fan the fame OF
discomfort into con1agration that will star
tie the world.

Thirty-Nfne Negroes Sentenced to Death.
COPENHAGEN, May pa profound sensa-
ton has been caused here by the announce
ment that the Supreme Court has confirmed
the sentence of death passed by the West
India commission upon thirty nine negroes
inculpated in a revolt in the Island of St.
Croix. This revolt occurred so long ago that
the atrocities attending it are now mostly for
gotten and the execution of the thirty nine
condemned persons, it is said, will be even
worse than the hanging of the regicides in
st. Petersburg. A strong effort to set aside
the decree of the court by an appeal to the
clemency of King Christian TX. will be made.
1t appears that an article in Communistic
paper melting to the murder of the King was
caused by the belief that he would approve
the execution of these thirty mine negroes,
whe, it is claimed by their advocates, were
only condemned on what in other lands would
be considered as e we'll managed strike for
higher wages.

Leopold a Peer of the Realm.
LONDON, May 23.-The Official Gazette to-
night stotes that His Royal Highness Prince
Leopold has been created peer of England
with the title of Duke of Albany and will
now be entitled to take his seat in the House
of Lords with his brothers who sit there,
one Duke of Saxony, Cornwall and Roth
say, another as the Duke of Edinburg, and
the third as Duke of Connaught In giving
the title of Duke of Albany to her youngest
son, the Queen has gratiied the penchant
which she has often, especially of late years,
manifested. She is proud of the slender
thread which unites her in blood to the
Stuart race and has on occasions said that she
cared more for the Stuarts than for all the
Brunswicks. The title of Duke of Albany, 1t
will be recollected, was borne bya descendant
of James IL, the last of the Stuart kings.
The Count D'A1banie, who died in London
few weeks ago, and who although generally
believed to be the lineal and legitimate heir
of the last of the Stuarts, lived in retirement
as sensible gentleman.

The Persecution OF the Jews.

ST. PETERSBURG, May 23.-Teleorams
from the provinces show that the anti-Jew-
ish riots in South Russia are even more seri-
GUS and more wide spreadthan has been sup
posed. General Drentelm has sent troops to
several places to preserve order and protect
the Jews who are throughout South Russia
in state of panic. At Berdiousk the peace
was not broken, but many Jewish families
fed from their homes. At Kieff, where the
synagogue was destroyed Jewish school
houses attacked and scores of obnoxious He
brews sacked, the losses are estimated at
many millions. All the banks are
closed and business of course is at
a stand still. Though nothing
is said of the killed and wounded, it could
scarcely be supposed, however, that the
Jews escaped with the loss of their property.
Arrests continue to be made daily for attacks
upon the Jews at Odessa These disturb
ances have completely .paralyzed local trade
and the people are only kept from despair by
the promise of good har vest and the Cars
recent manifesto. At AIexandrovsk and
Mehpol violent anti-Jewish riots continue to
break out. The troops are employed in sup
pressing these disturbances and in Furnishing
those engaged in them, but the task is diff
cult and the outrages are renewed as soon as
the military cease to be present.
