LONDON, Sept. 18.-Mr. Gladstone to.
day issued a four column manifesto to
his constituents IN Midlothian. The
Ex-Prem ier invites comparison of the
work of the recent Par lament W It'll that
OF the Parliament that preceded 1T, and
confidently appeals to the electors for q
verdict. He refers to the treaty Of
Berlin, to the good effects of Lori
Ripon's conciliatdry policy in India, and
70 the settlement of the Russo. Afghan
frontier d ispute, the credit of which ht
Q laims for the Liberia party. He admits
that the Liberal government committed
An error respecting the occupation OF
Egypt, but says that 1t was due to Lord
SA lisbury's interven ton po Icy. He
now favors the entire withdrawal Of the
British troops from Egypt.
England" continued Mr.. Glad
stone, once free Of the Egyptian tangle,
will regain her former position in
young Eastern nations" He favors a
reform of both the House OF Lords and
the House of Com mons, free lands and
the abolition of primogeniture. He be-
lieves that the Church is sufficiently
strong to survive d overwhelmingly, and
states that he is anxious to give Ireland
the fullest justice, while at the same
time preserving the unity of the empire.
Parliament has been further proro-
gued until December 8.
Mr., Cham berlain, speaking at lnver-
ness to day, said he was averse TO the
confiscation of land. Such o procedure
would be dishonest. Referring to Mr..
Gladstone's manifesto, he said that il
would be welcomed throughout the
country 1t was b clear and eloquent
expression of Liberia aims
The Liberals are terribly chagrined
over Mr.. Gladstone's address. Instead
OF clarion call 10 arms, it is consider
ed to be weak and querulous defence
of past errors and half.hesrted ap.
proval of some OF the points made by
Mr.. Chamber ain. The almost un
iversal opinion is that the manifesto
puts Lord Harrington out OF the run
ming for the leadership of the Liberal
party and immensely increases MI.
Chsmberlain's chances.
THE SPREADING OF CHOLERA.
ROME, Sept. lS.-At Parma 10 day
i've new eases of cholera and four
deaths from the disease were reported.
In the City OF Palermo, Sicily, the epi-
demic Is increasing TO an alarming ex.
tent. The INHABITANTS are fleeing, and
iam Tue Is Threatened. Inc popular
prejudice against doctors aggravates
the situation. n twenty four hours 100
new cases and seventy deaths have been
reported.
In Marseilles, seven deaths occurred
Today. Considerable excitement has
been caused by the arrival of trans
port bringing renca troops from Ton
quin. Fourteen of the soldiers died
from cholera on the voyage and twt

a NARROW ESCAPE.
Police Officer Skidmore Nearly Meets
the Enie of Onicer Fowler,

EDlicc OHtccr Skidmofe Nearly Meets
the Fate of Onicer Fowler,
Policeman Patrick Slddmorc of Lieut.
tenant Kcllys command had Il narrow
escape last night from meeting the fate of
Officer Fowler, for whose murder John
LANCASTER was hanged about ten days ago.
Officers Skidmore and Simpson were at
tractcd to the corner of Third and X
streets northwest, about 10 o'clock last
night by disorder caused by n crowd of
COlorcd men. Skidmore put Il desperate
named Sam, alias Jenny Cant under
arrest, and Simpson took into custody two
others. On the way to the station Cant
resisted and made an assault on the officer.
The latter drew his blackjack to subdue
the prisoner. Cant got the weapon away
orcd to draw his revolver, but the prisoner
was too quick for him and drawing one
rs quick rs Il flash, aimed ii at the police
ing his danger, SBidmore quickly took his
hand from his pistol-pockct and attempted
to catch the arm of the prisoner and dodg-
ing his head ut the same instant The
pistol was discharged and the bullet
passed through the hand of the officer,
Cant broke away and ran, and the officer
fired two shots at the fleeing prisoner and
pluckily pursued and captured him at
Third street and New Jersey avenue.
In the Police Court this morning Cant
was put on trial for assault with intent to
kill and was held for the action of the
grand jury in $500 bail. When passing
back into the dock Cant made an iusolCnt
remark to he pOllCpmau
