Crevelana.s Conduct in Church.

There is quite strong, though silent,
undercurrent of feeling in diplomatic circles
in regard to an apparent marked discourtesy
shown by President Cleveland during the
celebration of solemn requiem mass in st.
Matthew's Church, for the repose of the soul
of the late King of Spain. The service was al
most entirely musical. There were no special
genufexions required, but once and again,
as in the Protestant Episcopal service, there
was requirement that the congregation
should rise The entire audience, including
every foreign diplomat and the Cabinet
members present, rose in respectful recog-
milton of the usage of the church. President
Cleveland alone, wrapped in his overcoat,
sat immovable with his arms folded, the
center of all eyes, and the subject of COM
ment much the reverse of fattering. 1t
was also noted that the President, in leaving
the church before the last solemn strains of
the choir had died away, bestowed mods
and becks and smiles upon his admirers, IN
entire disregard of the occasion, as If, IN
fact, it were simply a reception to himself.

SAN FRANCISCO SHOOTING.
Nevada Block the Scene or Suicide
and Attempted Murder.

A little after 10 clock on the morning of
18th inst. an alarm was given that a shooting
had occurred in the Nevada Block, on
Montgomery street, and that one man at
least had succumbed to his wounds and
was lying there dead. Investigation showed
that rumor, so far. spoke correctly, for the
body of Charles W. Brown of Cheyenne,
Wy. T., was found lying on a lounge in
room II of the Nevada Block, which has
been for some time occupied as an office by
J. 4. Benson, surveyor, and more recently
an acting attorney for surveyors. The body
of Brown was beslattered with blood. In
dicatiOns of shot wounds were on the right
temple, and on the throat We're three dis
tinct gashes in theimmediate neighborhood
of the windpipe, but so far as could be
Judged from a superficial inspection, the
carotid artery was not touched. Death
apparently had resulted from the pistol
wound int the head Benson was wounded
in the neck and on the right jaw bone, but
after being injured he endeavored to pre-
vent Brown from committing suicide, and
hacking his throat with an office erasing
knife. The trouble arose out of some land
survey contracts, a settlement of which had
been pending for three years.

THE BALKAN TROUBLE.
Latest Phases of the ServO-BuIgarian
Dispute.


The preservation of the peace of Europe
depends more than ever upon the tact of
Prince Alexander. Russia is playing a
double game, but it is uncertain whether
Turkey is a victim or an accompice. Rustlm
Pasha the Turkish Emdassador at London,
informed Lord Salisbury that the Sultan 5
army would invade Eastern ROumelia if the
Turkish commissioners were repulsed. The
same notification was given to Germany,
and probably to all the great Powers. 1t is
almost certain that it was given to Russia,
for Baron De Staal, the Russian Embassa-
dor, came at the heels of Rustim Pasha to
the Foreign Office and announced to Sails
bury that Russia will not allow the Porte to
crush the Roumelians.
King Milan has telegraphed to Queen
Natalie that the forty-eight hours have ex-
pired in which Prince Alexander was to have
replied to the terms of peace proposed by
,Srrvia, but that no reply has been received.
The Government in a note to the Porte,
admits the suzerainty of the Sultan over
Bulgaria, but says that military necessities
compel Servia to treat directly with Prince
Alexander.

PASTOR DOWNS.
The Immoral Preacher Defended by
an Opium FIend.

Rev. W. W. Downs, against whom an in
dictment was found by the Boston Grand
Jury for adultery, preached to large
audience in Mechanics Hall. At the close
of his remarks he introduced Marcus D.
Norton, who stated that a syndicate of
Boston lawyers had been formed for the
defense of Downs in his forthcoming trial,
and that the active counsel for his defense
would be Roscoe Conklirg and General B.
F. Butler. Mr.. Norton bitterly denounced
the Grand Jury's action as having been
brought about by fraud and perjury, and
delivered a TRADE against the churches.
He said it was now proposed to uncover a
volcano of corruption in two places called
churches, and the result would be the
greatest sensation ever known in Boston.
Norton has recently been under treatment
in an insane asylum, having been victim
of the opium habit.

ROUGH ON RENTS.
Heavy Reductions Asked for on Many
Irish Estates.

Sir Richard John Musgrave, Baronet,
who is in the United States on tour, was
practically invited by the tenants of his
estates in Cappoquin, County Waterford, to
return home. The procession of tenants
went in a body, headed by two priests, TO
Lady Musgrave and demanded a general
reduction of 80 per cent. This she refused,
though promising generous consideration in
individual cases of distress. The tenants
then left without paying anything and
banked their rents, less the 80 per cent.
At Tismore Castle, the Irish seat of the
Duke of Devonshire, the tenants held a
meeting and refused an offer of q reduction
of 20 per cent. They demand 40 per cent
reduction and declined to pay anything
unless that was conceded. On the proper
ties of the Earl of Huntingdon, Mr.. Wood
ruff, Captain Palliser, Major Chumley and
many other landlords similar course has
been pursued, though in many cases reduc-
tons of from 10 to 20 per cent were offered
by the owners.

His Proposed Plans for an Irish
Parliament.

Gladstone's scheme for home rule con-
templates the granting of Parnelps demand
for Dublin Parliament, which will deal
with Irish affairs, provided the Parnell party
guarantees adequate protection to the mi
nority. Irish members will not be excluded
from the House of Commons. The power
of the veto will be only exercised by the
Crown upon the advice of the Irish, and
Parliament would be more representative
of the best elements of the Irish nation
than the present Irish party in the House
of Commons who have been elected merely
to annoy the British Government. Glad
stone has secured the support of Earls
Spencer and Granville, and expects to win
that of the Marquis of Harrington and even
of Goschen. He hopes to carry the scheme
through the House of Lords in view of the
great gravity of the situation. Failing in
that, he is confident of fresh mandate
from the English people.
