London Special says: AS Earl Spencer,
lord lieutenant, was riding through Dublin
Tuesday, he was stopped by Anna Parncll
who attempted to speak to him. Earl Spen-
Ger told her he was unable to hear what she
was saying, but that he would talk to her at
the castle. Miss Parnell writes to the even
ing papers that she had been shocked to hear
that the erection of huts for evictcd tenants
in Limerick had again been stopped and that
she had asked Earl Spencer whether this re-
port was true. From his position he could
not hear her. Miss Iarnell believes he was
ashamed and that he would gladly escape
from the odious position in which he has
placed himself. She urges all who are con-
ncctcd with the building of hints to persevere
1t one man is arrested, she says, let another
take his place, so as to leave no shadow of
excuse for the continuance Of this outrage on
humanity. She believes that if the people
do not show little determination, children
will be murdered by exposure.
A correspondent of the London Times at
Cairo states that the English consul general

women and children are leaving the country
but men with large material interests arc

behind. Many large capitalists arc arrang-
ing to leave Egypt permanently, not in a
panic, but after calmly calculating such a
step.
No wonder Ignaticlf was forced into re-
tircnlent in Russia. His downfall is attribut-
cd to the four-lold coalition of the Germans
the Jews, the court party and the holy synod.
The new minister, Court Tolstof, is said to
be the incarnation of every thing despotic
and retrogressive, and it is alleged that he is
disliked at St. Petersburg and abhorred in
the provinces. The silent but fateful forces
arc at work in Russia, which will eventually
work out a revolution that will vale into in
significance the seas of blood which swept
over France, and out of which chastening
came the republic.
The salmon in the rivers and streams
throughout England are dying in large num-
bers The fish arc attacked by sort Of lep-
rosy. In three or four days it extends over
the body of the largest salmon, and the fish
is done for. The disease has features in COM
mon with form Of fungi, but whether the
fungus develops the disease or the disease
the fungus, is not satisfactorily settled. All
the same it is fatal to the fish, and threatens
salmon fishing in England with ultimate
extinction.
A dispatch from Rome says that, in view

The president sent to the senate on Friday
the following nominations, to be members of
the tariff commission: John l.. Hayes of

nois Jacob Amber, Ohio; Robert P. Porter,
District Of Columbia John W. H. Under
wood, Georgia; Duncan +. Kenner, Louisiana;
Alexander X. Boteler, West Virginia; VIM
H. McMahon, New York. The termination
of McMahon and Botelcr were refer
red by the senate to the fin
ance committee the others having
been previously confirmed. MacMahon, is
now employed i'll the appraisers Office of the
New York custom house, and was selected
because Of his knowledge of the present tariff
laws. Maclahon is said to owe his appoint
ment to the presidents personal knowledge
of his attainments and Of his peculiar fitness
for the position. In politics he is republic
can. Boteler, the other newly selected COM
missioner, is a resident Of Charlcstown, W.

special interests other than those of agricui-
ture. He was highly recommended tothe pres

about sixty years of age There is consider

the members represent class interest which
may be affected by the investigation and
that anything like unity of action will he

better than anticipated.
