THE BLAck.MAIL SCHEME.


LONDON, Dec. %.
The magisterial examination of the case Of
John and Sarah Magee. who were arrested
on the 18th inst. on charge of attempting TO
procure money from the Prince of Wales by
writing threatening letters, was held We'd
nesday. The referred to stated that four men
had been appointed to murder the Prince of
Wales tor f500 each, and the Msgees Of
fered to inform on the intended asssssins,
provided they we're given fl0O0 and free par-
don. The detectives who were detailed TO
work up the case met the Msgees by appoint
ment and gave them q package containing
500 farthiugs. This was done to lead the
prisoners into believing by the size of the
parcel that their request Was being complied
with so that the detectives might get the
whole story from the Magees aud see il there
was any truth in it. On Magee discovering
that the package contained farthings instead
OF pound pieces, he upbraided the Prince for
his treachery, demanded fl500 and threat
ened to shoot the police officer who arrested
him. The crown prosecutor believing MIS-
Magee was innocent of crime and that she
was entirely under the influence of her hus-
band, withdrew the charge against her and
she was discharged from custody. II was
proved by draN of the letters found in
Magees pocketbook that the letters were in
his handwriting. He was committed for
trial.

HOME RULE.
Opinions OF Michael Davitt and Patrick
Egan on the Subject.

LONDON, Dec. %
Michael Davitt in an interview here today
respecting home rule for Ireland said: The
alleged proposals of Gladstone recently pub
lished are a good basis for the settlement of
the Irish question. l advocate Daniel O'Con-
nelrs plan for minority representation in
the Irish parliament. would give 75 seats
to the loyalists and 225 to the Parnellites.
The police should be disarmed. Irish land
lords would be impossible under an Irish
parliament"
LINCOLN, Neb., Dec. 90.
Patrick Egan, president of the Irish Ma
tional League of America on being question
ed as to his views of the present phase of the
agitation for home rule in Ireland said: II
consider the principle OF home rule for Ire
land as virtually settled, both English parties
admitting the necessity for such a change.
am of the opinion that it will be accomplish
ed by junction of Parnell's forces with those
OF Gladstone when the critical time comes !;
not an alliance as is so frequently stated as
1t would be contrary to the principles of the
Irish party to ally themselves with either of
the English parties, but by Independent action
in the same direction. The power to protect
and foster Irish industries must also be con-
ceded to the Irish parliament. Some of the
ablest men in England expect to see deathly
struggle between Russia and England for the
possession of India within the next two years,
and it is the policy of England to settle the
Irish difficulty before that time comes. As
to the loyal minority, about which England
is so solicitous, they will be exactly as safe
and have their rights just as much respected
in Ireland as similar minority in Illinois,

TOPEKA, Kan, Dec. %.
In the well known litigation between the
express and railroad companies, which finally
reached Washington, where it was argued
last month, all questions have been decided
by the circuit court except one, viz: What
is the fair and reasonable compensation for
the services rendered by railroads to express
companies? This question, in all cases was
referred to commission to take testimony.
The irst report of the commission has just
been made to the II. S. circuit court here,
and is that the express company should pay
to the railroad company 40 per cent of its
gross receipts from transportation, whether
money parcels or merchandise, as a just and
reasonable compensation.

A LACK OF WATER
Causes Much Alarm to the Inhabitants
Near Chicago.

CHICAGO, Dec 23.
The town of Lake View, adjoining Chicago
on the north, is in trouble for the lack of
drinking water. For the past few weeks the
people have been suffering veritable water
famine so severe as to produce great deal
of sickness, which threatens an increase and
perhaps result in spread of some fatal epi-
demic disease. At the Marine Hospital there
has been much typhoid fever, and the officials
attribute it to nothing else but the filthy
water pumped through service pipes. All of
the cases are developed in the hospital. in
which there are now 92 patients. The sur
geon general, who has ordered a chemical
analysis of the water, declares it is largely
composed of sewerage.
