TO Appeal to the Country.
LONDON, June 9.-Gladstone will tomor-
row inform the House of Commons of the
governments intention to appeal to the
country after obtaining the necessary votes
of supply to tide over the elections. Parlia-
ment will probably be dissolved June 26th.

ing the prospects of the Liberals in the COM
ing elections, owing to the great dearth of
funds and suitable candidates.

Pasteur Could Not Save Him.
PARIS, June 9. "A farmer from Roumania
died of hydrophobia Monday, while under
treatment by NJ. Pasteur. The Romanian
was bitten by rabid dog on May II, and
reached NJ. Pasteur on May 25. After he
had been under treatment far eleven days he
exhibited symptoms of hydrophobia on Sat
urday last and suffered the agonies of
rabies for nearly forty-eight hours before
death relieved him. This mans death and
all the circumstances attending his case are
held to upset the theory about the period re-
quired for hydrophobia to incubate, for the
farmer was under M. PaSteur'S treatment
long while before the expiration of the time
heretofore deemed requisite for the poison
GUS saliva to obtain control of the victims
system.
The General Election.
NEW YORK, June 9.-The Evening Tele-
gram publishes the following special from
London The approaching general election
will probably involve a greater amount of
expense than any that have occurred since
bribery was abolished. Most of the increas-
ed expenditure will fall upon the Tories.
Their offer to pay the election expenses of
the Liberals who voted against the home
rule bill, will cause large drafts upon their
treasury, and there are many constituencies
which they propose to contest, which were
not contested last year. The Ulster Tories
for instance, propose to contest every seat in
Ulster in an effort to show that Ulster is
campaign will also be largely increased. The
election committees of both parties are pre-
pairing to send out more speakers and more
literary matter than ever before, involving
largely increased expenditures: The advan-
tage in point of money is said to rest with
the Tories, but there are also many rich men
among the Liberals and the Liberal electors
are far more willing than the Tories to pay
the expenses of their own local campaigns.
The earnest Democrats, who compose the
Oh of an.
thusiasm approaching the election, and are
as a rule, very willing to contribute to the
extent of their means toward gaining rOuS-
ing victory. The rank and file of the Tory
electors on the other hand would be astonish-
ed if they were asked to contribute penny
toward the Campaign fund They are per
fectly willing to carry torches in the process
sion, to swell the numbers at the Tory meet
ings and to cheer for their candidates when
ever they are given the cue; but all this IS
on the understanding that the costs OF all
these demonstrations are to be paid by the
aristocracy and gentry, as it has always been
paid before One of the most interesting
features of the campaign will be the attempt
to turn the Irish vote in England over to the
Liberals. Last year it was east solidly for
the Tories. This year the Nationalist lead
ers will endeavor to swing the same vote in
favor of the Liberals over the Tories, but
not over the Tories and Parnellites cOmbin-
ed. There is little doubt of the success of
tnlS undertaking, as IL Will De leu Dy L. L.
O'Connor, who accomplished such wonder
full results last year.

terminated with decision in favor of Edi-
son, the court having decided to maintain
his claims in their broadcast sense.
