ESPECIAL DISPATCHES TO THE gEcoRD-UNIoN.I
Another London Scandal.
LONDON, July 2Sth--A Radical member
of the House of Commons and of the late
Cabinet is seriously annoyed by prevalent
scandal. According to the current story.
this statesman, who is a widower, took to
his private residence, few weeks ago, the
wife of another we'll known London gen.
tleman They entered room, when to
the horror of the lady she discovered an
other woman in the apartment. This com
promised the ladies so much that she bit
terly upbraided the statesman, and there
was a terrible scene. She finally lett the
house in desperate anger, and confessed lne
whole circumstance to her husband. The
scandal becoming public, the aggrieved
husband begged the aid of noble Earl
and a most popular commoner, both mem
bers of the late Cabinet, to suppress the
reports Both eX-members consented to
try, and they have employed the past fort
night in efforts to make settlement.
Friends of the accused are willing to pay
any sum to prevent exposure. Both houses
of Parliament are fully possessed of the
facts, and the scandal is the sole topic
of conversation in all the West
End clubs The Tories are gleeful,
and the present Ministers have high hopes
OF running by exposure the famous citizen
and diplomat who is inculpated. The
Tories are straining every nerve to secure
an exposure, SO as to destroy the chance OF
Radical success at the general election.
They are urging the husband not to re-
cede and are promising him legal aid and
social protection. 1t is alleged that the
accused gentleman refrained from address
ing a great political meeting last night,
which he had intended to address.
Radical Meeting Abandoned.
LONDON, July 2Sth-A M-Much sur
prise has been caused by the sudden aban-
Comment of the Radical meeting which
had been arranged by Sir Charles Dixie,
and at which he was to have been the
principal speaker At the last moment Sir
Charles excused himself, saying that he
was utterly Frustrated in consequence OF
the mental strain of the past few weeks.
Prospective Change in the Turkish Cabi-
net.
VARYA, July 27th.-Deep interest has
prevailed in official and diplomatic circles
for the last few days, owing to the danger
Gus illness of the Grand Vizier, who had
an apoplectic attack. 1t is still doubtful
whether he will recover from its effects, but
his retirement isregarded as almost certain,
as, according to the law, persons once 50
stricken are no longer considered compe-
tent to direct public affairs. Various re-
ports are current as TO the cause of Said S
illness. some alleging as the reason that it
was produced by indigestion, while others
are whispering that it was brought on by
fear of having fallen under suspicion of
maintaining secret intercourse with the
heir apparent. 4 circumstance which gives
color to the last report is the sudden dis
missal of three palace physicians, who were
only recently promoted to the higher rank
through Imperial favor A change of Min
istry is undoubtedly imminent. Rumor is
already busy with the name of Said's sue
cessor. Abdin Pasha, Hamdi Pasha and
Hashan Tehmi are mentioned. Ethan,
who was the Grand ViZier during the war,
is considered to have the best chance, al
though the partisans of British alliance will
strive to secure the appointment OF Hashan
Tehmi.
A Fling at the Prince CT Wales.
New YORK, July 27th.-The Radical
newspapers are abusing the Prince Of
Wales for going in for a racing stud. They

lately been exposed in connection with the
turf in England, and insist that the man
who expects TO be the next King of Great
Britain should not defle himself in such
dirty puddle. They also recall the career
of that royal blackleg, George ", and ex-
press the hope that the blackguard faint in
the Hanoverian blood will not beeXhibited
in the person of the next Sovereign.
The Afghan Boundary Question.
BRUSSELS, July 27th.-The N0rd says:
Russia consents to frontier the Afghan
side of which is geographically closed and
easily defendable, but insists on well-de-
fined Russian side, to prevent Afghan in
cursions The best method would be to
define broad line in London, and settle
the details on the spot, in order to prevent
a misunderstanding where the same name
is given to different localities.
