ENGLAND'S NEW LAWS.

Conservatives Discuss the Proposed Re-
forms at a Party Caucus.
LONDON, Dec. "A meeting of the
Conservative members of both houses of
Parliament was held to-day to decide up
on the policy to bepursued with reference
to the redistribution bill. The Marquis
of Salisbury stated that perfect harmony
had prevailed throughout the negotiations
with Premier Gladstone regarding the
bill. The contemplated measures, he
said, would confer the franchise on 2,0OO,-
600 citizens with the least possible dis
turbance of the existing system.
Sir Stafford NOrthcote cOncurred in the
Marquis of Salisbury's views, but Mr..
Henry Chaplin, member of Parliament
for Lincolnshire, dissented. He
thought that the measures offered little
hope to the Conservative party. The
meeting decided that the Conservatives
should agree to the second reading of the
redistribution bill in the House OF Com
mons on Thursday, deferring all discus
sion of its principles till the bill comes up
tor consideration in committee.

A NEW KIND OF DEADHEAD.
Queer Freight which Express COmpa.

s1Oh. yes, eorpses are shipped every day

the large express companies in this city.
SsIn most instances some of the friends or
relatives of the deceased accompany
the coffin on the same train, but very
often we take a corpse the same as we
would any article of merchandise.
OF course we do not take them collect
on delivery, unless it should be the re-
mains of some one who has left consider

who attends to the shipping is well known

coripanies to get into bad pickle by TAX
ing a corpse &C. o. D. OF course we
charge more for shipping corpse than
auy other kind of freight, and require a

il should be left on our hand.
0We do this because there have often

corpse was shipped here from Cincinnati.

AID FOR EDUCATION.
Mr.. Willis to Get the Blair Bill Before

Mr. Willis TO GeJ the bla1r Bill Before
the House This Session.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-Representative
Willis expects to push the educational
bill to passage in the House this session.
He has written letters to the friends of
the bill asking them to meet at the Metro
politan Hotel on Wednesday or Thursday
to consider the best method of securing
its consideration. The Senate bill, it is
desired, should be adopted by the House,
but it would be impossible to get it before
the House this session under the regular
order. The House bill, however, is well
up on the calendar, and Mr.. Willis plan
is to move to take up the House bill and
then to substitute for it the Blair bill,
with some slight alterations, which have
been agreed to: He says that he is sure
of the support of majority, but the Re-
publicaus will be more nearly a unit for
it than will his own party.

LONDON, Dec. 1T is reported here
that Hon. Abram S. Hewitt, of New York,
is probably to be the successor of
United States Minister Lowell. The Pail
Mall Gazette says that Mr.. Hewitt's emf
nent position as philanthropist, and his
trade views, fit him exceedingly for the
position, but whoever comes to England
will find Mr.. Lowell very difficult man
to succeed. Mr.. Lowell denies the report
telegraphed from Vienna, Nov. 27, that
ne intended sending his resignation to
President Cleveland, and maintains a
close reserve upon the question of his re-
tirement from the Embassy.

LYNCHERs IN TRoUBLE.
International Complications Growing
Out of the Hanging of a Mexican.

International Complications Growing
Out of the Hanging of a Mexican.
About three months ago, says an
Omaha Neb.) special of Nov. 80, Lucian
Padillo, Mexican, who was sent to the
Nebraska penitentiary at Lincoln as a
convict from New Mexico, was released
from prison, his term having expired. He
started south on foot, and near Crete, 20
miles from Lincoln, assaulted a little
girl. He was captured by citizens of
Crete and vicinity, and promptly lynched.
His brother, who is quite wealthy, resides
in New Mexico, and is a subject of the
Mexican Republic, as was also the Iynched
man. Through the brother the Mexican
authorities were notified, and asked to
take action, on the ground that Padillo
should have been punished according TO
the law of the land where the crime was
committed. In other words, he was en-
titled to the usual trial, and if convicted
his punishment would have been confine-
ment for term of years instead of death.
The result is that during the past month
the United States government. having
been duly notified by Mexico, took steps
to investigate the matter, and the MeXi-
can Minister at Washington also inter-
ested himself. He HeemploYed detectives to
obtain the names of the lynchers and all
other necessary information. and this
work has now been accomplished. 1t is
claimed that the United States will be
called on not only to pay large indem-
nifty, but to bring the lynchers to trial.
The affair creates considerable excite
ment.

A Fine Showing for the Year Made in
the Chiefs Annual Report.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-The Chief Of the
United States Revenue Marine, in his re-
port to the Secretary of the Treasury upon
the operations of that service for the past
year, says:
The work of the year represents high av-
erage as compared with former years. The
revenue vessels have covered in their cruising
Ell and examined in their duty of enforcing
the provisions of the customs and navigation
laws 26,2S2 vessels of the merchant service.
OF the merchant vessels they found
2,270 engaged in violating The law,
proper authorities. The fines ard penalties
TO which vessels so reported were liable under
the law amounted to $6S3 642.
RELIEF WORK.
The relief work performed by vessels of the
revenue marine eXcels that of any former
year. They assisted 246 merchant vessels
which were shlpwrecked or in distress, valued
with their cargOes at $7,0l5.572. Upon vessels
thus assisted were $500 persons, many of
whose lives were imperilled Sixtv-three
persons were saved from drowning bv being
picked out of the water. Among the relief
work OF the year is recorded the gallant
service done by the Dexter and her officers
on the occasion of the wreck Of the Citv of
Columbus in January last. The cost of con-
Quoting the revenue marine service for the
year Is $S5l,3ll, which is about the average for
number of years.
The report notes the fact that the
assessed amount of fines upOn vessels
apprehended through the efforts of this
ssrYlce during the wear is almost as great
as the whole cost of maintaining it, while
the value of the property rescued through
It's lnstrumeftality is eight and a quarter
times as great.

PoLYGAMY's SUPPRESSION.
The Utah Commits sion Makes a Repor
with Many Recommendation.

Tie utah commits sion Makes a Report
with Many Recommendation.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-The Utah Com
mission have made Il report to the Secre-
tary OF the Interior, in which they say
that they believe that the operation OF the
Edmunds act has resulted in the exclu.
sion of all polygamists from the polls, yet
as result of their two years. experience
they find that the effectiveness of the act
has not been to improve the tone of Nor
mon preaching or to materially diminish
the practice of polygamY. The past year
has witnessed a polygamic revival. The
institution is boldly and defiantly COM
mended, and plural marriages are re-
ported to have increased, 1876 males and
263 females having entered polygamy
since the passage OF the law.
Regarding the Edmunds act as a tenta-
tive measure the commission have sug-
gested to the President additional legisla-
ton In the nature of amendments already
adopted by the Senate, and their passage
by the House is strongly urged.
THE ELECTIVE OFFICES.
Other legislation is also suggested in
the direction of q redirectiOn of the num-
Der OF elective officers and an increase of
the government appOintees. The COM
mission says that 1t is not unlikely that
the Federal Government will find it nee
essary to assume all civil power in the
Territory. The commission submit list
of Territorial officials, including
Probate Judges, County Clerks, ETC., who
should be appointed by the Governor and
confirmed by the Commission. 1t is re-
commended that the jury law be changed
to meet the spirit of the Edmunds law,
and the jurisdiction of the courts eX-
tended, particularly in the punishment of
cOntemptuOus witnesses, and that the lin
itation act be repealed so far as relates to
polygamy. Legislation is also recon-
mended looking to the security Of govern
ment witnesses.
