A SOVEREIGN MERELY IN
NAME.

New York Tribune: The relative
Importance of the Queen and Premier
in the English system of government
has been indicated in a somewhat novel
way since the murders at Dublin have
occupied the attention of the world.
That the Queen is. the ruler of Great
Britain only in name has long been
we'll understood: but we do not remem-
Der any time when the fact that the
man who holds the place of Premier
because he represents the will of the
majority of the English people, is the
real head ofthe nation has been brought
out more clearly than since the assas.
sinations. The dreadful news was first
sent to Mr. Gladstone; all the
expressions of sympathy have
been addressed to him; and the effect Of
the murders on his policy has alone
been the point of anxiety. Royalty has
seemed to have little interest in the stu
alton of affairs. No one has condoled
with the queen that two Of her faithful
and high officers were stricken down
when they were just about to carry out
the policy which alone seemed to prom.
Use an end to the dreadful troubles thai
have distracted her kingdom. No
what the queen would do in the great
crisis, but how Mr.. Gladstone would
act, has interested the people. The
queen sends her condolences 10 Lord
Frederick Cayendish's family, as any
other member of the nobility might do
and the royal drawing-room is held or
the day of his funeral.

Rum0red Arrival of the Dublin ASA
sins in New York


sins in New York.
New YORK, May 16.-It is stated
here that the United States marshal and
four deputies have gone down the bay
on u revenue cutter To meet the steam
ship Scythia, on which vessel it is sus-
peeled are two of the party concerned
in the aSsaSSinations in Dublin. The
story is that at Liverpool the police as
certained that four men, two of whom
answered very closely the descriptions
of two of the assassins, had taken pas
sage on board the Scythia, which sailed
two days after the murder was commit
ted. The London officials at once COM
municated with the Washington author
tiles asking the arrest and extradition
of the fugitives Immediately upon their
landing, and that in compliance with
this request the marshals have been sent
to meet the Scythia.
LATER
The steamship Scythia was signalled
| and is not expected at quarantine until
O'Clock tonight, and will not be
| boarded by the health officers until after
sunrise. The regulation is not to allow
anyone on board of incoming vessels be-
fore the health officers; therefore nothing
definite is expected before morning OF
the suspected Dublin asssssins on board,

cutter said to have gone down the bay
with United States marshals to meet the
Scythia.
ANOTHER STORY.
NEW YORK, May 1G-A warrant sign

in Brooklyn, was yesterday placed in
the hands of Deputy United States Mar
shall Bernhardt, who accompanied by
one of his lieutenants and a sergeant
stationed at Fort Hamilton, took a rev.

ceeded to overhaul an Eoglish sailing
vessel that was making its way slowly
out of the bay. Going on board they
arrested deserter from the army who
claims to be British subject He was
returned to his quarters at the fort.
The incident gave rise to the report
that the United States marshal had gone
to take prisoners, certain passengers on
the Scythia who were suspected of hav-

murders.

AN INTERVIEW WITH THE PRESIDENT.
Senator Miicbell,of Pennsylvania, had

had the following. Chief Justice Carter,
Judges Macarthur, Hagner and James
held q cosultation Saturday, summing
up argument of counsel in the applica-
ton in the Guiteau case for a new trial.
The consultation lasted four hours, and
was marked by the most searching ex-
animation of the authorities and a mos
rigorous analysis of every point made
in the arguments. The judges were in
thorough harmony all through, and in
reaching decision, not for one minute
differing in the general steps by which
the decision was reached, although, Of
course, each judge had individual opin-
ions on the various points of law and
their application. The decision afflrms
the sentence of the court below, of
course Overruling the exceptions. This
disposes of Guiteau's last chance. He
will be hanged June 80. 1882.

that the United States signal station at

the papers one would be led to think
that great calamity had befallen Kan
sas. The Press says;
This sudden and, we may add, mys-
FERROUS action on the part of that branch
or Office of the war department needs
explanation. What the cause or what
object, no one seemingly knows. We
hope, for the credit of the Kansas dele
