There has been a verita5le murder scare
in Paris during the past week Not day
passed without the horrible details Of some
fresh murder being made public. The as
sassiuuation OF NJ. Barremea, project of
Eure. in q railway carriage as he was ieay-
ing Paris ou Thursday, was only one OF an
unprecedented series OF similar crimes
more notable than the others because OF
the high rank Of the victim. One day the
papers were flied with accounts of the brg-
tai murder OF a woman who kept a little
shop. The shop was entered 10y two men
intent on robbery. The woman offered
some resistance. whereupOn she was in
stantly killed. One OF the assaSsins hid her
body ia tn cellar while the other ransacS-
ed The shop and appropriated whatever
valuables he could lay his hands on. An
other day the sensation was the fatal stab
bling of the son Of Manetti Bey, the well
known Egyptologist. by retired army Of
ficer This ARRAY rev out o. a quarrel he
tween two mer about 2 woman OF doubtful
character 10 whom they we're both devoted.
The most sensational murder OF the week,
however. was that of Marie Aquelan one
Of the best known characters OF the Paris

Although emperor Wilhelm Of Germany
in his speech at the opening Of the landtag
announced a budget deficit and gloomy
outlook for trade throughout Germany, all
the newspapers congratulate him on the
improved state of his health, which they
say promises q prolonged reign for his
majesty, and Outweighs the consideration
OF everything else. The first exciting
question to come before the landtag viii
be the Interpolation on the recent expul-
sion of Poles from the eastern provinces OF
Prussia. This Interpolation is identical
with the one which recently created
lively scene in the reichstag. Prince Bis
marck on that occasion refused TO answer,
but softened his refusal with the remark
that he would net shrink from an inquiry
into the subject in the proper place,
namely the landtag.

as he departed from the building by large
crowd OF his supporters who we've gathered
outside There IS a growing desire among
the Conservatives not to exclude Mr.. Brad
laugh from the house of commons. 1t is be
lieved that the government will not insist
upon excluding him unless urged TO do so.
Nothing will be settled regarding the
government OF Ireland until the English

attention of the new parliament. In
spirited leading article il urges the
necessity OF the Conservative party at
once facing the issue.
