Ing for the result OF the conference on the Atlantic

The conference committee have held their ses-

the Senate Will probably insist upon its amend

Mr.. Gladstone to the Front.

LIBERAL CAMPAIGN.
A cablegram from London says: Mr. Glad
stone has openly assumed the direction OF the
liberal campaign. He has already managed to
compose the difficulties between Lord Harting-
ton, leader of the wings, and Mr.. Chamberlain,
leader of the radicals. The latter was making
such Roadway that Lord Harrington became
alarmed, and threatened to withdraw from &C
tive management in the campaign unless Mr.
be unable to commit the whole liberal party to
his schemes of radical reform. Mr.. Gladstone
summoned Mr. Chamberlain to Hawarden, and
he went The result Of this meeting has been
shat Mr.. Chamberlain has agreed to modify his
program of reform, during the campaign at

cases wherein two or more liberal candidates
endeavor to contest for the same constituency
and the rivalry causes such divisions as are
likely to cause the election of conservative can
didates- The arbitration committee has
already done a great deal of work, and 1t is no
ticeabie that In every case in which 1t has
chosen candidates they have invariably been
posed of twelve persons, three from each of the
four great liberal cubs-the National Liberal,
the City Liberal, the Reform, and the Devon

Mr.. Gladstone has advised the arbitration
hos TO tbam tests upon the
form as possible. The wisdom of this advice is
apparent. The question of female suffrage, for
instance, has taken quite a strong hold in some
constituencies, and both the liberal and the
conservative candidates are found to be COM
mitted To il. In other constituencies there is a
strong feeling in favor of triennial Parliaments
Mr. Gladstone sees no objection to liberal cam
didates pledsing themselves on all such ques-
tions, If their rivals do il. A canvass of the
country will undoubtedly show that sufficient
number of candidates are already pledged to
the cause of female suffrage to raise that 1ues-
ton TO one of urgency in the next Parliament

BOSTON WOMAN PLCNDERED IN THE PUBLIC
STREETS BY BOLD RASCALS.
The Boston Journal publishes to-day the de-
tails of a bold and remarkable robbery. The
victim was young woman of high social stand
ing, who has been employed as nurse in the
Boston city hospital. She had secured posi-
ton in n ew York hospital, and ON Thursday
evening went to the Old Colony railway station
to take the train for that city. After buying q
ticket she had $50 in her purse. While scrutin-
iZing the train dials near the main side en-.
hand was placed over her mouth and two men
carried her to a close carriage in waiting Her
struggles were fruitlcSs and she could not
scream. The driver had evidently received his
orders, for he drove rapidly away. Her eyes
were shielded from the light SO that she could
not discern the ru1fian, who held hand over
her mouth TO stifle any Outcres. While the
carriage was moving rapidly they robbed their
victim OF her purse.
They attempted to etherize her, but she sue
ceeded in breaking the bottle, and beyond this
no personal violence was offered her. They ex-
pressed In the prOfaneSt terms their disgust at
securing such q small amount OF plumber. FL
nally the carriage was stopped and they pushed
her into the street and drove OFF through a cross
street. She was faint from fear, and, on coming
to her senses, found that she was lying near the
horse railway track in Cambridge. She found
that the car would pass through WATERFOWL
where she has an uncle, and, not having a cent
ing the tracks, she arrived at her uncle's house
at $40 in the evening. Her clothing was some
what torn and I'll led with the OdOr Of ether and
her gold watch, breastpin and purse were miss
ing. On Friday her watch and shawl pin were
found on the spot where she was thrown from
the carriage. probably having fallen from her
clothing. Her uncle gave her money to 60 to
New York and she started again Friday even
criminals for the lady did not have an opI,Or-
tunity to see their faces.

NEW TALK OF BUYING CUBA.
and Of Visit 20 Ex.President Arthur
mt Newport for Advice,

From the New York Sum- Sunday
Weu-dressed men and women, who all had
very black hair, very black eyes, and who
chatted softly In Spanish, filled the University
Club theater last night At o'clock DIR. Par
raga addressed them, saying that 1t was the
seventeenth anniversary of the Cuban uprising
Tor Independence. Speakers were introduced,
who entertained the audience until nearly IL
O'Clock. Among them were Col. Aguerra, Ra-
fael de Palomino r Rubiera, editor Of La Re
Itsbiicd, E. Trajillo and r. Rodriguez.
Mr. Rubera said that the meeting had no con-
nec ton With the Spanish movement II C16a
States The Spanish property owners on the
island, Mr.. Rubiera said to reporter of the SIM,
know that Cuba cannot remain long under
the control OF Spain, and they know, or thin K,
at all events, that IL Cuba were annexed to the
United States their property would double in
value. So they have on foot movement to
bring about that end.
Last July, Mr.. Rubiera says, a secret meeting
OF the forty-four districts In Cuba. These gen.
tlemen assembled quietly at Saratoga, and
there met those prominent American bankers
from New York who are interested in the en-
terprise, and discussed the pest means of bring
ing the matter favorably before Congress at the
next session. The result was that a committee
was sent to Newport to meet and confer with
ex-President Arthur with the view to securing
his services as legal adviser in the enterprise.
The native Cubans are not in sympathy with
the plan. They say that the first of all must
come independence from Spain, and then, IL
the matter Is put before the Cuban people for a
vote and the decision Is favorable, there will
be ample time to consider a basis of anne xation
10 the American union. Mr.. Rubiera read eX-
tracts from a Cuban letter written to a Madrid
paper, in which the writer said that the people
of Spain would be much surprised We're they
TO hear the names of the wealthy and distin-
guished Spanish residents of Cuba who were
interesting themselves actively in this plan of
annexation to the United States. Their idea
was TO approach the American congress with
such terms as would tempt this government to
enter into negotiations for the purchase out
right OF the island.

The Challenge OF the Galatea.

ANOTHER BRITISH CUTTER COMING OVER TO
HAVE TRY FOR THE CUP.
The New York World says: A letter was re-
ceived by Mr.. Charles III. Minton, secretary of
the New York Yacht club, Thursday morning
from j. Beavor-Webb, renewing the challenge
for the Americas Cup. This challenge was first
made last April by both the cutters Genesta
and Galatea, and 1t was specified that the
former yacht should race for the cup during the
summer Of 1885. If the Genesta failed to win
1t was requested that the challenge be con-
tinued opened until next season, when the
Galatea would appear in these waters to try
her speed with American yachts. Before leav-
ing New York for England Mr.. Webb notified
the yacht club that the Galatea would be ready
to sail for the cup at any time next year that
the regatta committee might fix upon.
In the letter Mr.. Webb proposes that five
races be sailed, and that the yacht winning
three be adjudged the winner of the cup 1t was
further suggested by Lieut. HEM, the owner of
the Galatea, that at least two of these races be
sailed outside of Newport, r. l., and that the
whole series of races be sailed late in the sea-
son Is practicable. A few other suggestions
were offered by Mr.. Webb, which will be duly
considered at the next meeting of the New

TO bring home the cup. In speaking of the

For and Against Cremation.
From the New York Times Oct. 10th. .
Cremation" was the subject of lecture
delivered last evening by DIR. William. NJ.
McLaury before the Society of Medical Juris-
prudence and State Medicine. He called at
tention to the fact that cholera, when It even
has visited New York has always lowered about
the vicinity of Trinity churchyard, and that two
years ago typhoid prevailed there when II was
not prevalent elsewhere. It was further stated
that the Oldest local physicians claim 1t to be
OF houses in Washington square, which was
formerly used as potter's field. Cremation,
he maintained, would prevent the increase
of these and like troubles, fire was death
to disease. Cremation, it was also shown,
would prevent grave robbery and premature
cremation from sentimental standpoint,
pointing out the beauties of country
churchyards. and Gods acres" and in
retort Dir. Cole said that any amount of
it would be more economical. Lawyer w. H.
Russell said that the ground of economy was
falsely taken, since, If cremation became q
general custom, the market would be immedi-
ately flooded with ash urns of all styles and
varities. A committee was finally appointed
to discuss the question of cremation thoroughly
with a view to placing the society either on the
side OF cremation or against 1t.
