DIR. A. +. Mcdonald, superintendent Of
the asylum Tor the insane on Ward island,
testified that he was convinced that Mrs.

Mrs. Dudley had told the witness that there
were three men she had determined
to punish with death, and that Rossa
was first on the list. DR.. William

London Cable: The death OF Emperor
William promises to be the next great SON
sation In Europe. It's immediate political
eiect will be to bind Germany and England
together In q very close union. Thecrown
princess OF England will be the empress OF
Germany, and the coming emperoris known
az an ahectionats friend OF the prince Of
Wales and OF the queen. Nothing more on.
perfume for the new Tory government Of
England could possibly occur. It il ru.
mored that all this was counted upon in the
very highest circles Of the two realms before
Lord Salisbury finally consented to take
office, and that it very largely influenced
Ills decision. There are hints Of second
treaty Of Windsor that had really more to
do with the change in the administration
than the vogue and shadowy promises made
the Crown Princess Victoria assured her
mother that the death Of the emperor was
only q question OF q few years; that
upon the accession Of Frederick William
to the imperial throne Of Germany, the in
fiuence OF Prince Bismarck would cease to
be predominant and disturbing element
in European politics, and that ii England
would heartily support the hecolonizing enter
Irises Of Germany, which are Frederick
Williams pet fads, there would be no oppo.
sition to an Anglo-Gernan alliance, as
against Russia in Aighanistan, France in
Egypt, and the foes or rivals Of England
everywhere: All this being represented
to Lord Salisbury, opened up to him
q prospect OF being able to straighten out
the foreign relations which had been
left in a seemingly hopeless tangle by Glad
stone, to safeguard the British empire in
India, to retain control OF Egypt, and gen
orally to restore the imperial prestige OF
England through the world. It was this
line Of argument it is said, which not only
decided Lord Salisbury to accept the office
of premier, but caused him to adopt the
unprecedented course OF combining with it
the office OF secretary Of state for foreign
affairs, SO rs to keep the delicate negotia-
tions OF the next few weeks or months care
fully within his own control.

answer that an empty balloon had been
