FROM MADRID
it is learned that there is strong opposi-
ton in Spain to the projected marriage be-
tween the Infsnta Eulalie, sister OF King
Alfonso, and Antonio, son of the Due de
Montpensier, father of Mercedes, the
Kings first wife. The Sp2niards believe
that the marriage is intended to be made
the basis of an intrigue to secure the
regency of Spain in the interest of Mont
pensier after Alfonso's death, which is re-
garded as likely to occur soon. 1t is said
that negotiations for the alliance were
kept up by the Spanish court long time
without avail, while Aifonso's health was
osteusibly good, and that the Ddke sud
denly changed his mind and hurried them
to a conclusion the moment he ascertained
officially that Alfonso's health indicated
an early demise, and saw that the mar
Tiage might secure him power.
THE BURMESE ENVOY
to Paris has informed Premier Salisbury
that King TheSaw consents to permit a
British representative to reside at Man
dalay with small guard, but objects to
his presence there with an escort OF 1000
British troops. Lord Salisbury refuses to
negotiate with the envoy because the lat
ter has no credentials to England.
ADvICEs FROM PKKIN
state that the Chinese government desires
Great Britain to annex Burmab, and
promises to cooperate with England in
opening the country to foreign trade and
in maintaining order along the Bdrmah-
Chinese frontier. Pendergasts British
expedition to Mandalay will reach that
city within fortnight, AMI orders have
been issued TO allow King Thebaw to make
no delay in replying to the British ulti-
matum.
THE OPPOSITION
raised by Belgium to the monetary union
is attributed to ihe inspiration of Germany,
and is regarded as a heavy blow against
the German bimetslists. TIE partisans
of gold standard in Germany have, it is
said, obtained such influence with Prince
Bismarck as to render futile the mission OF
Mr.. Manton Marble to Berlin.
DISPATCHES FROM C9NsTANTINoPLE
tonight state that Prime Minister Sails
bury has sent finel instructions to Mr..
White, the British representative at the
Balkan Conference, ordering him to CO.
operate with the ether delegates to the
conference in securing an invitation to
Prince Alexander { , restore the statu quo
as q preliminary basis for definite settle
ment Of the Bulgarian -R9umelian matter,
and afterWard to advocate the necessity OF
Civ .Dg formal sanction to the demonstrated
wishes of the Roumelians by confirming z
the union Of Roumelia with Bulgaria I'M
der the rule Of Prince Alexander, with
separate administrations for each State, as
they desire them.
LIEUT.. GREELY
will lecture before the Scotch Geographical
Society on the 18Th instant. He will return
to the United States about Christmas. In
an interview published here, Lieut.. Greedy
advises the English, If they undertake an
other polar expedition, to send it by the
way of Frapg josef Land, which route. he
says, is the only one that can be pursued
| with any reasonable chance OF reaching
| higher ATTITUDES than those already at
| tanned. He expresses himself as doubtful
| that the north pole will be ever reached
| by explorers, because the region in which
| 1t is located is an ice. e.capped land, covered
with ice which is 5000 .Ic}t thick, and
which is constantly chaT7 gin form.
THE FRIENDS e;'< q STEAD
are very indignant ovSf the severity OF
| Justice Lopes's summing up against the
| Erisone ers in the Eliza Armstrong abduc-
| tion case, and accuse the Justice OF having
/ followed the bias Of the prosecution.
Neutral opinion, however, is 70 the effect
that the judges charge was admirable in
every reBpecs, and especially for its en-
| sence Of pref ldiee, lis lucidity, directness
| and olsar exposition OF the points OF the
| law involved. Thc trial leavs Mr.. STEAD

faith in Mr.. Stead, and argue that ne =,
nothing but his duty. Bishop Soutbwell
| publishes letter in which he says thGt
Fir. Stead saw no other course to cure the
terrible evils revealed in the Pail Nall
Gazette than to make the whole public
aware Of the enormity Of their existence.
MIR. Stead was in no way responsible,
| the bishop contends, for the disclosure OF
| these horrors-the perpetrators of the
horrors were alone responsible, and but
| for the work performed by Editor Stead,
ihe bishop intimates, that it is doubt nj if
Parl4 sent would have ever amended the
/ criminal law. TIE letter concludes with
| the statement that it may be doubted
| whether tine motives which prompted the
| prosecution of Mr.. Stead for a technical
abduction We're really, as clsimed, honor
able or those of simple, sincere indIgna-
| tion.
