Progress of the War With the Vatican
and in the Reichstag.
BERLIN, June 6.-The governments bill
relative to differences between the govern
ment and the Catholic Church is prefaced
by the statement that the government is
anxious to serve the interests of Prussian
Catholics by providing for regular service
in vacant parishes. Therefore on the
Vatican declining to accept the pro-
posals, which Prussia had offered. the GOV
ernment deemed it their duty to grant
without awaiting the result of further
negotiations with Rome those concessions
Whlch were announced in the governments
note to the Vatican May ), and which do
not impair the authority of the State.
The Liberal papers consider that the bill
show fresh retreat on the part of the
government, and that the concessions
winch 1t makes exceed those announced
in the note of Nav ).
Die GerDldRid, the clerical organ, also
thinks that the concessions provided for
III the Dill are larger and better than those
heretofore offered. The entire party will
probably accept the bill, while the Con-
SerVatIVes Will certainly support. it, A
majority thus seems thoroughly secured
for the measure.
Die GermdRid also says that the bill is
the first step towards a more thorough re-
vision of the May laws.
The National ZeituRq says that the cul-
turkanf is at an end, and that Prussia has
laid down her arms. The centre party
mas been repaid for voting in favor of the
arbitrary powers conferred on Poles bv
the trade relation bill. The people at the
next election must arrest the danger
threatened by the church policy of the

The Court Circular COntradicts the Re-
cent Alarming RumOrs.
LONDON, June ct has been officially
ascertained this evening that there is no
foundation for any of the alarming ru-
mors that may have recently been put in
circulation in regard to the health of
the Queen, the is stated to be progress
ing slowly tOwardsa a complete recovery Of
her health. She is pronounced to be de-
cidedly better since she has been at Bal
moral, where she took up her residence
on the 25th of May. The Court Circular
issued this afternoon states that Her Ma
jesty drove out twice on Monday in the
company of the Princess Beatrice. The
fact that the Prince of Wales was at the
races at Ascot Heath, both yesterday and
to-day, shows cOnclusively that no alarm
is felt in the Roval household about the
condition of the Queen. None of the Lon
don papers have anything concerning her
other than the statement in the Court Cir
cular referred to above.

BAY STATE INDEPENDENTS.
\ New Party Organized to Defeat But-
Ter and the Republicans.
R0stan .NnecirL 9I

An important movement in Massachu-
sets politics has been developed at the
meeting Of the Massachusetts Reform
Club. 1t is a genuine new departure
the formation of new party that prom
ises to disarrange the plans of the old
party leaders.
1t was decided that an independent
State Convention should be held and a
tull State ticket nominated for the fall
campaign. 1t is an organization i'm OppO-
sitiOn to Butler and in opposition to the
Republican party.
Among the gentlemen present at the
meeting of the Reform Club at which this
action was taken were Colonel Theodore
Lyman, member of COngresS-eleet from
the Ninth district; Leverett SaltOnstall.
General Francis a. Walker, Mr.. Charles
Francis Adams, Jr., Frank Bind. Fisher
Ames, +. B. Haskell, John 5. FarlOw and
many other men prominent for years in
the Republican and Democratic parties.
This Reform Club had its origin in the
Ninth district when Mr.. Lyman was elect
ed to Congress in opposition to the regu-
lar machine Republican nomination last
fail.
The convention will be called early to
anticipate the action of the Butler and
the regular Republican conventions.
The men who are organizing this new
movement are sanguine of success. They
claim to have assurances of support from
large numbers of what they are pleased to
call the leaders of the best elements in both
the old parties.

This afternoon Mr.. and Mrs. Martens.
of this city, went out to visit a friend,
leaving at home their two sons, Herman
aged II years, and Theodore, aged 7 wears
Soon after they had gone Herman lit a
cigarette and threw himself on the sofa.
While he was smoking his little brother
took his fathers revolver from a bureau
drawer and, approaching, carelessly
pointed it at Herman. The weapon was
discharged, making an ugly hole in the
boys neck and the blood squirting into
TheOdOre's face.
Herman ran into the street and fell ex-
hausted on the sidewalk. When medical
assistance arrived the wounded lad was
partially revived.
His suffering was terrible, and he
prayed to die. Little Theodore did not
seem to realize the terrible tragedy, but
kept saying: 81 didn't know it was load
ed didn't mean to shoot my brother.O
Being but seven years of age he was
not arrested, and all believe his story that
he did not think the pistol was loaded.
Herman is still alive, but the physicians
say he will probably die before morning.

Neao York World.

Nr. William II. English, of Indiana. the
late Democratic candidate for Vice Presi-
dent of the United States, has compromis-
ed the suit brought against him bv Mr..
William d. Murphy, of Albany, N. Y. for
the payment of the amount due him for
services and expenses during the Presi-
dental campaign in Indiana in 1880.
Mr.. Murphy claimed 81, ,1S0 as a balance.
for which he began an attachment suit in
the Supreme Court of this State about eigh-
teen months ago. Mr.. English set up in his
answer that even though the contract
were admitted, yet it was contrary to the
constitution of the United States, and was.
consequently, void. To this latter aIlega-
ton Mr.. Murphy demurred, and the ques-
ton arising thereon was argued before
Judge LarremOre, of this city, in February
last, ex-senator Ecclesine appearing for
Mr.. Murphy and Mr.. Algernon S. Sullivan
for Mr.. English. The demurrer was sus,
tanned.
Yesterday Mr.. Sullivan paid to ex-Sena-
tor Ecclesine $500 for Mr.. English as
compromise, and the suit was discOn-
tinued.

Who Runs Randall?


One of the curiOsitieS of Pennsylvania
politics is developed by the special care
taken by the Republicans in particular to
make a district for Hon. sam. j. Randall.
Very naturally the Democrats are glad to
send a Democrat of any stripe to Con-
gresS, and accept the Republican invita-
tiOn to manufacture Il district along the
river front in Philadelphia. 1t is pure
perquisite, a generous free gift on the part
Of the Republicans, which the Democrats
may be excused for accepting. But the
point of particular interest is in the fact
that the Republicans made this shoe
string district in the first place, and
both of these two bills i'm the Legisla-
ture provide as carefully for RandalPs
reelection as though he were their first
born and tavOrite son. The bottom fact
of the matter is that Randall is fOur-fifthS
Republican, and the Republicans know
it and act accordingly. They like to have
such men to serve their interests in the
Democratic party. And for this reason
they are working quietly, but energeti-
cally, to get him elected Speaker of the
next House. The difference between
Randall and the Democrats in the matter
of tariff is that he believes in protection
ON principle, as a good thing per sc, while
Democrats are opposed to protection on
principle, while favOring a wise discrimi-
nation i'm duties so as to afford all neces-
Sary encouragement TO important indus
tries which need fostering. The differ
ence is radical and too broad for even
such an elastic person as Randall to
cover by straddle.

cided TO show Mr.. Parnell how quick a
pair of boots could be made. 1t was de-
clded to make pair of women's grain
polish and the work commenced, Mr..
Parnell closely watching every move
ment. He saw the stock for the upners
and the top Innings cut out, the eyeleting
done and the passing of the uppers from one
Sutcher to another; he saw the sole leath-
er died out for the bottoms, and the stock
fitted. Up to this time the uppers and bot
toms had been kept separate. The next
he saw was the two parts come together,
the uppers lasted to the bottoms, then the
uppers were sewed to the soles by Nc
Kay sticher, and in rapid succession fol-
lowed the work of beating out, trimming

thirty hands, and the work was perfect.
