In the House of Lords, Earl Granville,
secretary of state for foreign affairs, re-
plying to tho Earl of Milltown, quoted
precedents where the British government
had made representations similar to those
made by the United States in the Lamson
case. The United States, he said, did not
interfere with tho English administration
of justice, but merely intimated that there
might be cause for clemency. Generally
a fortnight was allowed for consid-
Grafton in such cases. but as the eyi
dencc in this one came from the United
States, the time was somewhat extended.
Had tho United States intcrfered with
British municipal law, no language
would be too strong to resent the indigni-
ty, but no minister would undertake tho
responsibility of declining to listen to
statement that important information was
forthcoming in the case of man con.
demned to death. The marquis of Sails
bury spoke in a similar strain, but deprc-
Gated expression of opinion until the
papers were seen.

An act that was not announced by the

playing with one of the lion cubs when
the beast suddenly became enraged and
grabbed him by the hand. The doctor
yelled for help and made desperate
efforts to free himself, but could
not do so. The infuriated animal
held on with his paws like grim death,
and when assistance arrived he had
the Doctors arm nearly all in his mouth.

fearfully lacerated.

BOUNCED.

Andy Kaufman .sKetchcs On" to Some
thing Better Than II Big Bronze Medal.
United States Internal Revenue Collector
Thos. A. Wiley, of this Nth district,
slipped over to Washington on Monday,
to see what there was of truth in the re-
port that Stalwart A. J. Kaufman, Of Col
umbia, was soon to be appointed collector
of this district.
He found out.
1Ie came home at a. m. today. 1t
was market morning, and by $40 a. IN. it
was very generally known over tho city
that Collector Wiley had received the
&. b. The Philadelphia papers confirmed
the news, though the idiOtic reporters who
sent ont Kauffman's name as Camp
man =" misled sOme readers, and the
Kauffmans get SO friShtfully mixed these
days that some wouldn't believe Arthur
had ''got the right pig by the car > until
the smiling faces of Hay Brown and
Elwood Griest shed illumination on their
darkened understandings.
Kaufman is we'll known member OF
the oar, resident of Columbia and I.
"Stalwart of Stalwarts." He has for a
long time been waiting for his turn, and
since he went to the Chicago convention
as the representative of the Cameron state
caucus and cast one of the votes of Lam
caster county with tho noble 306 Grant
men. his name has never been rubbed
off Cameron's slate.
Since Arthur's accession he and his
friends have been confidently awaiting the
collectorship, which he preferred to a
nomination for lieutenant governor. For
three months his appointment has been
waited for in weekly expectation, as Don
Cameron had said it was " fixed." Con-
gressman Smith, it is claimed, made no
forcible resistance, and in turn the
politicians who arc friendly to Kauff-
man have allowed Smith to have
a walk over. Some time ago q
treasury agent was on here working up a
case against Wiley to justify his removal,
but the principal matters raked' up were
some private family affairs of years ago,
many of which occurred even before he
was appointed collector. His official rec
ord has often elected the highest COM
mendation of the department and it is not
seriously pretended that his appointment
has any other purpose than the ordinary
Cameron policy of rewarding the " best
workers" 1t is supposed to have been
hurried up this week partly as defiance
to Mitchell aud partly to stiffen the Cam
eron forces in this county, especially in
their fight against the re election Of Sena-
tor Kaufman c. S., the brother Of
Kaufman GA. J.)

THIS from the Stalwart North american j.:
"The election prosecutions in South Caro-

that the United States government should
not, even by implication, seem to be 4
prosecutor, yet the virtual abandonment
of some of the cases after putting the de-
PENDANTS to considerable expense and not .
little obloquy has very much that aspect. ="
