A clerk in large German counting
house was spending his honeymoon in
Italy, and while there firm paid him
40, 000f., owed to his employers. Hay
ing the 40, 0O0f, the clerk thought he
would go to Monte Carlo. He knew it
was the worst possible place for him,
because he would be tempted to gamble,
but nevertheless being the foolish and
weak minded clerk he was he set off for
the spot. Lest he should be impelled
to go to the rooms and speculate with
his employers money, he handed the
sum over to his wife to keep. Devoted
to each other as bride and bridegroom

place Independently OF each other.
The wife, 40, O0Of., in pocket, went to
the table, lost all, and jumped into the

SONG OF THE PRINCESS MAY,

Nora Perry in Outing for May.
March and April, go your way!
You have had your fitful day;
Wind aud shower, and snow and sleet
Make wet walking far my feet
For come unsandaled down fss&-.
From the hillsides bare and brown
But wherever do tread
There leave little thread
OF bright emerald, softly set
Like jewel in the wet;
And I make the peach buds turn
Pink and white, until they burn
Rosy red withen their cells;
Then I SGT the bloomy bells
OF this fowery alder ringing,
And the apple blossoms swinging
In a shower of rosy snow,
AS come and as / go
On my gay and jocund way,
I, the merry Princess May.

wolseley,s Base of Operations.

Korti, the headquarters of Lord Wolseley. on
which point all the different branches of the ex-
petition are ordered to concentrate, is at the
sharp bend Of the Nile where it's course for a
short distance is toward the west. About fifty
miles below korti is Debbeh, where it is proba-
bic that the whole force will be established after
it has been brought together at Korti At Deb
beh the Nile takes rather sharp turn and re-
sumes its northern course. This place is just
on the border Of the territory ruled by
the Mudr of Dongola, a sheik who has
remained steadfast in his friendship
for and cooperation with the British. In peace
full times Debbeh is place of some importance,
because there the great caravan route to Ell
Obeid and the Darfour ion leay es the Nile and
strikes off to the southwest across the Bayuda
desert. Korosko, the other point mentioned as
the location of a portion of the British force, is
some 800 miles further down the Nile, aud from
here starts the caravan route across the Nubian
Desert TO Abu Hamed at the sharp bend in the
course of the river, 180 miles above Kort Ko-
rosko is not far above the first cataract, and
below that point the navigation OF the Nile is un-
obstructed. When Lord Wolseley's whole force
is mustered at Korti. it will probably be about
$500 men strong, as Wolseley kept about 200
men with him at Kort Gen Brackenbury has
about 200 Gen. Butler about 300, and there
are about 400 at Gakdu Wells.

The Motion in the Lords.

LONDON, Feb. 26-In the House of Lords. this
evening tie Marquis of Salisbury moved vote
of censure of the governments Egyptian policy,
and the motion was greeted with loud applause.
Lord Salisbury said in submitting his motion,
that the government had acted throughout as if
they were unwilling to arrive at decision until
the very last moment They always waited un-
til external pressure forced them to form some
kind of decision. The result of these hastily
conceived measures had been, throughout, de-
plorable In the absence of any fixed policy the
government had adopted the absurd plan of
taking advantage of the chvalry and self devo-
tion of one of the noblest spirits of the age to
accomplish by mere words and promises what
they lacked the courage to accomplish by force
Of arms. The speaker then reviewed events in
Egypt from the period of Arabi's rebellion to
that of the present outbreak in the Soudan. The
government, he declared knew General Gordon
was in danger, and although they knew is was

DUBLIN, Feb. 26-United Ireland, to-day, in
commenting on the proposed visit of the Prince
of Wales to Ireland, disclaims any gratuitous
disrespect for the Prince. But" it saws, If
the Castle fiunkies organize mock demonstra-
tions of enthusiasm they may rest assured that
there will be counter-dispays which will over
shadow any demonstration Earl Spencer may
inaugurate." Continuing, the article suggests
that 100 600 members of the National League
assemble at Kensington Pier on the day of the
Princes arrival, to listen to speeches from Irish
members of Parliament or if this is not feasible,
that there be a vast P.sblie assembly. IA. Pleax

MORE Ri0TING AT PHILADELPHIA.

Heads Broken and Some Arrests Made

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. Notwithstanding a
proclamation calling on citizens residing
in the vicinity of the carpet mills at
kensington, to remain off the streets
and prevent repetition of last night riotous
demonstrations, there was again to night an i'm
mense crowd Of people in the neighborhood
of Leedoms MILL where the non

Just before the time for the hands in Leedom's
mill to stop work, two hundred policemen
marched to the building, and dividing into
four squads, drove the crowd back
for block on each of the four streets leading to
the mill. Twenty of the officers then escorted
Cameron from the mill and walked with him
on the sidewalk as he proceeded home.
Some of the more daring of the strikers
took to the side streets and caught up with Cam
eron and his escort The mob then followed
closely, hootng and jeering, and throwing
snow balls, ice, stones, and other missiles.
The officer in charge of the squad, after having
been followed few blocks, ordered the officers to
draw their clubs and charge upon the mob This
was done. and brief but furious fight ensued
Several officers were knocked down. but none
severely hurt Several of the mob
came out of the melee with broken heads

THE MOTION OF CENsURE.

Continuation of the Debate in the Commons
A Vote Not Yet Reached.
LONDON, Feb. 26.-In the House of Commons,
this evening, Henry Chaplain, Conservative re-
sumed the debate on Stafford Northcote's mo-
ton of censure of the government for its Egypt
ian policy, ana declared that naIf measures
would not suffice The enterprise in which
the nation has now engaged must be concluded
Not many months must be allowed to elapse
before the accumulated errors and craven treach-
cry towards General Gordon should meet with
righteous and just reward in the deep and bitter
execration Of an outraged and indignant nation.
The Right Hon. Sir Richard Assheton- Cross,
Conservative, said the opposition meant bust
ness. Although his party was not anxious to
obtain office at time when affairs We're seri.
ousy complicated yet it was a duty they owed
the country He believed that by change of
government alone half Of the difficulties now
giving SO much trouble would disappear.
Harcourt, speaking in opposition to North
cote's resolution said, that as General Gordon had
died in defense of khartoum, the only fitting
way to accomplish the evacuation of the Sou
dan was for the British troops to re-
capture Khartoum and release that city
and every other captured or beleagured
place between Khartoum and Cairo from the
clutches of the Mahdi. 1t was imperative that
England suppress the Mahdis revolt The gov
ernment recognized this duty and was ener-
getically striving to perform it. If the Tories
were to come into power tomorrow thes, could
do no more than was now being done IN this
direction.
Harcourt quoted Gen. Gordon to the effect
that the Soudan would prove expensive and
useless possession. He said he knew no reason
why the overthrow of the Mahdi should prevent
the placing of the Soudanese in the position
which Gen. Gordon desired them to attain
self government under their own Sultan
He argued that Goschen's questions were TN
answerabie. The government could only be ex-
pected to proRiise to endeavor to make conces-
sions which would be most conducive
to the end it had in view He be-
lieved even If the majority placed the reins
of government IN the hands Of the Conservatives
the same majority would refuse to allow an ad-
d!tion to England's responsibilities England
he declared, was unable to support another
India in Africa. and public opinion would never
allow it. Sir Charles Dixie made a
long and detailed defense of the
government He said he was sure no
English Ministry would be mad enough should
the Mahdi retreat south from Khartoum to fol-
low him to the equator He denied that Prince
Hassan had any other mission to fulfill than Gen
Noiseleys desire for the presence of Moham-
medan who would have influence with the local
Mohammedan princes. He trusted England's
action would not :rterfere with the autonomy
OF Egypt. England, he said disclaimed
responsibility for Italy's action at Massowah
but she did not consider it necessary to express
an opinion AS to the actions of Italy with whom
England was united in bonds OF closest friend
shin.

A DOUBLE TRAGEDY.
A st. Louis Woman Shot Dead by Her Para
mour, Who Then Takes His Own Life.

ST. Louis, Feb. ga horrible tragedy in
the form of murder and suicide was committed
here about o'clock this evening" at an assigna-
ton house. The parties to the act were Thorn
as Bostwick, pretty we'll known saloon keeper,
and bartender, and Mrs. j. B. McGue, said to
be the wife of book keeper of this city.
The act itself was the shooting of Mrs McGue
three times by Bostwick, killing her, and then
killing himself by shooting two bullets into his
head and stabbing himself FIVE times in the
breast. The circumstances leading to the crime
are not very easy to get at, but the following is
believed to be fairly accurate:
IT appears that Bostwick met Mrs McGue in
thus city some three years ago, when she was
Miss Conway. and leading fast life He be-
came infatuated with her, took her on a long
trip through the South and lavished good deal
however, and she left him at Mobile and came
back to this city, while he went to Cincinnati,
where he obtained employment as bartender
on the river. Bostwick came here last Tuesday
from Evansville, Ind, where his boat, the Ohio,
was laid up He met Mrs. McGue the same day
and again on Wednesday, and spent most of to-
day with her at Madame North's house II
does not appear that they had quarreled or
had any trouble. but about the time
mentioned shots were heard in rapid succession,
and when their room was entered they were
found shot and stabbed, as above stated The
bodies were taken to the morgue. letter
written by Bostwick was found, in which he
charges Mrs. McGue with having caused him a
great amount of trouble. Tt is not vet known
who McGne is but he is said to be book keeper
for some house in the city

BISMARCK'S PLANS.
Disclosures Concerning the Great CI:ancel-
lor's Foreign and Domestic Policy.

lor's Foreign and Domestic Policy.
st. James's Gazette,
Count Bella Szechenyi recently had an inter
view with Prince Bismarck in which disclosures
Of a sufficiently remarkable character were made
Referring to the international situation at the
present moment, Prince Bismark, if his inter
viewer is to be believed 10 )k credit to himself for
all the new departures recently witnessed in the
policy of the chief Cabinets of Europe. Every
thing he gave his Hungarian visitor to under
stand, really due to his instigaton, to his di-
plomacy, else to his intrigue. "As for France" :"
said the Chancellor, II have contrived to get her
we'll occupied out in China Then, as regards
the supremacyof Britain in maritime and colonial
affairs, am engaged in the task of counterbal-
ancing neutralizing it" Turning to Ger
many's allies, Prince Bismarck proceeded:
''if Russia desires to take Armenia or
Afghanstan. she will not have to Ian
guish for them long in vain. And then,
with reference to Austria and Hungary, the
policy Of the dual empire, he said, lis of course
ultimately to annex Syria" And the Chancellor
was good enough to hint that he would take care
that any little wish Austria might cherish in
that direction should be cratifed Count
Szechenyl, however, told his German host that
hungary was opposed to any active colonial policy.
There, said the Chancellor, ''the Hungarians
are greatly to blame. They are foolishly spend
ing enormous sums on their one port at Fiume.
instead of which they should seek to enrich
themselves in settlements abroad" Upon Count
Szechenyi intimating that the Hungarians dis
liked the policy Of the German Kulturkampf,
the Prince remarked: ''That is u policy which
cannot abandon. TO give it up would enable
Austria to regain her prodominance at the petty
courts of Germany. However 1 am not opposed
in principle to restoring Rome to the Pope and
this restoration will be carried out if Italy pro.
ceeds to make war against Turkey with a view
to the conquest of Tripoli" This last threat is
only another proof OF the irritation of the Ger
man Chancellor at the friendliness Italy has
been showing to England.
