Conclusion of the Conference Considering
Their Protection:

Conclusion of the Conference Considering
Their Protection:
PARIS, Oct. 27.-The conference for the pro-
fiction of the submarine cables has con-
cluded. The most important feature of the
conference was the English proposal that in
the event OF war any power should be at lib
erty to withdraw, with the rights of readmis-
SION when peace had been concluded, and
the conference adopted this principle. This
means that in case of war any power may
cut cables at its own risk and peril. The
cables must take chances similar to other
property at sea. The conference unanimously
signed the draft of convention for the pro-
section of telegraph cables. Cookery, French
Minister of Posts and Teegraphs, expr essed
the hope that the convention would be sane
ltioned by treaties within three months. The
question of the protection of cables in the
time of war was reserved for diplomatic dis
lcnssion.
The convention will apply outside Of terri
t4orial waters to all submarine cables legally.

Another Connecticut Sensation.

BRIDGEPoRr, Conn.,, Oct 27,-Yesterday
the body of handsome woman about TWEEN
ty-fve or thirty years of age was found lying
in small stream at Saugatuck. There was
deep cash in the forehead over the right
eye. The body was identified as that of
Mrs. Copeland, milliner at Soueh Norwalk.
1t is impossible tonight to get anything but
the most meager details of the tragedy, but
there are good reasons for believing it case
of murder. Had the woman sought the
brook for the purpose of suicide. she would
without doubt have been under the water.
As the case stands at this writing it looks as
if another mystery was to follow close on the
heels Of the Rose Amber case.

A pamphlet, called 'The Bitter Cry of Out
cast London" has reused the widest indigna-
ton. Lord Salsbury's article in the National
Review, called "Laborers and artisans
dwellings" has made the evaporation still
more bitter, the Standard declaring that such
paper, from such a man, is worth more
than hundred party speeches. London,
long Indifferent, has suddenly learned that
there is more poverty in its streets than in
the worst part of Ireland In squalid dens
the poor herd, multiply and die. Parliament
cannot help them; the measures already
passed are impotent Philanthropy is mis-
directed; societies are formed to help dis
charged convcts, while honest workmen are
left to starve; and respectable girls are turned
from the doors of Magdalene asylum, be-
cause they lack the necessary qualification.

He affirms that public loans are justified by

should be transferred to places outside of the

them. Dozens of other remedies have been
proposed by other writers. The excitement
is great and very blunt language is used.
The Pail Mall Gazette says: ''The man
who lives by letting pestilential dwelling
house is morally on par with the man who
lives by keeping a house of ill-fame." A cor
respondent writes: What is the use of
dealing with the fringe of the subject? Why
not go boldly to the root? That root is the
insensate and reckless multiplication of the
human species As long as that goes un-
checked all that law-givers, moralists and
phlanthropists can do is whitewashing a
sepulcher."

QUEBEc, Oct 27.-The departure of Lord
Iorne and Princess Louise this morning
for England, in the steamship Sardinia, was
made the occasion for great demonstration.
1t was generally understood that the steam
ship would leave at about 10, and punctually
at that hour the Marquis and Princess Lou
Use left the Citadel in an open carriage, ac-
companied by Colonel DeWinton and Major
Collins. An escort was furnished by the
Queens Own Canadian Hussars officers and
non-commissoned officers only. Crowds of
people had assembled, and the utmost en-
thusiasm prevailed. Dufferin terrace and
its approaches were crowded with people,
who loudly cheered as the party drove by.
Opposite the postoffice was suspended
across the street the motto, 'Revenez
encore-Come back again." Aliens wharf
where the Sandman lay with steam
up, was crowded. A guard of honor was
furnished by the Eighth Royal Rifles, of this
city. The departure from the Ctodel and
the progress of the royal party were made
known to those in waiting on Aliens wharf
by heliograph signals. On the arrival at the
wharf, the Marquis and Princess were re-
ceived by brilliant military staff. On leav-
ing their carriage her Royal Highness and
Lord Lorne spent some time upon the wharf
shaking hands with a large number of ladies
and gentlemen present. The party then em
barked, walking over the carpeted gangway.
A large crowd of citizens and officers went
on board to bid adieu to the late Governor
general and his royal wife, who were both
visibly affected at the sympathetic demon
stration made in their honor As the gang
way was cleared away and the vessels moor
ings loosed, there came the booming of q
