GLADSTONE.

Unexpected developments render it
quite possible, in the opinion of many
Liberals, that Mr.. Gladstone, however
much he may be dIsinclined, will be
compelled to return Ia Office. 1t is re-
ported that the Marquis OF Salisbury
demanded from the retiring ministry, Il
more comprehensive promise of support
than they were prepared to give. 1t is
believed by many Liberals, also, that
Abe visit Of Gladstone to the Queen ut
Windsor Castle had connection With the
subject OF his return to office. The
Conservatives. ON the other hand, how
ever. have not a doubt bat that the Mar
quis Of Salisbury will accept Office.
Gladstone stIll ~withholds his ASSURANCE
that the Liberals will assist the Salisbury
government, and the Marquis Of Sails
bury PERSISTS in his refusal TO take Of
nee in the absence Of such assnrance.
The result Is n complete drawback. The
News soys it is able to state That the for
nation Of the Ministry il in alb vance

The New Orleans Exposition.

NEW ORLEANS, La, February 9.-The
statement made to the President for the
information of Congress by the managers
of the Worlds Exposition, attributes the
smallness Of the receipts up to January
27th as chiefly to bad weather, the street
car strike and the discouraging reports
sent broadcast over the country by disap-
pointed visitors. These conditions, it
was asserted, impaired the revenue from
5000 to $4,000 day.
Since January 27th the receipts havei
met the current expenditures, and the,
fine weather which now prevails gives
promise of an increased attendance Two,
months after the date fixed for the open.
ing. therefore, the financial condition OF
the enterprise shows deficit of S3l9,-

dated accounts of electric light COM

CHICAGO, Ill, February 9. = Two
thousand Socialists met last night at
West Twelfth Street Hall to denounce the
execution Of Reinsdorf, the German
Anarchist. All the speeches were in Ger
man, and of bloodthirsty character.
The meeting was called upon to combine
with the dynamiters and "revenge the
execution" Following the speeches was
a tableau representing the Goddess Of
Liberty, as a sanguinary-looking female
holding a red flag over the head OF an
Anarchist, who had huge dagger in one
hand and box of dynamite in the other,
and wearing belt, with border inscrib-

"SEE NE KILL HIM."

The Manner In Which a Texas Husband
settled With the Destroyer of His Domes-
tic Happiness.
COLEMAN, TEX, February "a tragic
murder occurred Saturday night at the
ranch of A. J. Nations, ten miles north OF
Coleman. About dark stranger rode up
and, without dismounting, approached
the door and asked woman to tell Dud-
ley Henderson to come out, as he wanted
to see him. AS Henderson appeared In
the yard, the stranger covered him with
his revolver and said to several bystand-
ers:
''Now, see me kill him."
Before any one could move he sent q
bullet through Henderson's heart. After
Henderson had fallen, the stranger fired
four more bullets into his body, any one
of which would have proved fatal.
Bidding Mr.. Nations good evening the
stranger rode away.
The sequel to the mysterious murder IS
known to but few. Henderson was
handsome young man, who has sought
this place to hide away from an infuriated
and wronged husband who resides some
fifty miles from Coleman. This mans
wife and Henderson had been school
mates in Georgia, and had loved each
other from childhood. She married q
wealthy Texan, but her lover, Henderson,
followed her to Texas about year ago.
For time all went well, when by an
accident, the husband discovered his
beautiful wife's unfaithfulness. He sent
her back to Georgia, and began his search
for Henderson, which ended Saturday
night. Henderson and the unfaithful
wife belong to highly respectable families.
The Sheriff is in pursuit of the murderer.
