Dixie declared that Mrs. Rogerson, at
whose house he used TO meet the witness,
was his mistress. Mrs. Crawford asserted
that she believed it was Mrs. Rogerson who
| wrote the anonymous letters accusing wit
ness of adultery with Captain Foster, and
that the object was to screen Dixie. Mrs.
| Ashton Dixie sister of Mrs. Crawford and
sister-in-law of Sir Charles, testified that
| Sir Charles. after Mrs. Crawford had made
| her confession, suggested q quiet separation
| between her and her husband, and Offered
| to contribute to Mrs Crawford's income.
| A number of servants testified that ladies
| secretly visited Sir Charles Dixie, and that
he made regular designations at the War
| ren-street house.
While Mrs Crawford was testifying un-
| der eross-examination, Captain Foster
entered the Courtroom, and was seen by

| manner, and her replies were often made
| in {; stammering way, and after long
| pauses. She said among things that Sir
| Charles told her, was that he had four
| mistresses.
LONDON. July 21st.-Some of the evidence
given yesterday i'll the Crawford divorce
case was decidedly the most circumstantiai
given Mrs Crawford testified she con-
| fessed that she disliked her husband be-
cause he was too old that she loved Foster
| because he was handsome and pleasing;
and she was intimate with Dixie for the
| purpose of obtaining q divorce from
| her hated husband. She spared
| Foster as far as possible, be-
| cause she knew he was about TO marry.
| Under strict cross-examination she con-
fessed that she had been intimate with only
| Dixie and Foster, exculpating two other
society men. A remarkable feature was
| that when Mrs. Crawford was asked
question, for instance in regard TO French
| vices etc, she announced with the utmost
| calmness. ''yes. yes" and even smiled,
| showing that she was naturally an aban
| doned woman, who rather g!oried in her
| shame. Mrs. Crawford spoke III soft.
pleasing tones, damaging Dixie without
| exculpating herself. The evidence given
! today produced a deep impression. It's
| directness, elearness and circumstaniial
minuteness convinced all of its truth.
| Dilkes refusal to deny liaison with Mrs.
| CraWford's mother is attributed to the open
nature of the scandal, rendering denial
! impossible. The conduct of Mrs. Craw
| ford and her two sisters in Court was
marked with unseemly leyity, laughing
and talking together.
Russia and Eng1apd-Russia Warned.
LoNDoS, July 21st.-Private dispatches
! tend 10 confirm the threatened occupation
| by the Russians of Port Lazerof. Russia
| has long had coaling station there, for
which she paid yearly bounty to the Co
rean Government. Russia and China re-
Gently made mutual concessions regarding
| the Manchooria frontier, and 1t is believed
that China will quietly acquiesce in Rus
sian occupation of Port Lazeroif in revenge
| for Engiand's refusal to acknowledge
| China's suzerainty over Burmah In the
| event of war between Russia and England,
| Port Lazeroff places Russia in more ad-
vantageous position for both offensive and
| defensive operations than during the re-
| cent Russo Afghan crisis. The occupation
/ of Port Hamilton by England at that time
was serious blow to Russia's operations.
| In military circles the matter is regarded as
of serious import.
| New YORK. July 2lst.-The 'StCu's Lon
| don special saws: The Standard TO. day has
| an alarmist article on the Afghan question
Russia is hotly denounced in connection
| with the Boundary Commission and re-
cent events in Central Asia. Russia is
plainly warned that the policy of her
| Maiesty's Government will be very differ
| ent to that of Gladstone's Ministry, with
respect to the Russian project of aggran-
dizement in the far East. The article.
| bearing as it does indications of having
| been inspired from high sources, has at
| tracted much attention in diplomatic cir
| cles. This early reminder of the threaten
| ing situation of foreign politics and of the
| advent of the Tories to power has had
marked effect in modifying the views of
Liberal Unionists previously favoring
| Tory alliance.
British Politics.
r..r..Oto. IT, TIL co..-, TIKI
| Liberals just now are much in the position
of an invaded country's defenders, who
have lost battle owing to the supineness
OF some and others having turned their
guns against their couutryn.en. Our bat
| tie, il must be admitted, has been lost, but
| the victors, united together only for attack,
are now already quarreling over the spoils.
| TREY can act upon no policy beyond q
| general agreement to Join forces III order
| to bully and coerce the Irish, and to main
| tain an alien rule over that long-suflering
| people The Conservatives may be
! likened TO the shareholders of the
| Southern States. They themselves in the
! minority have become the majority, so far
as slavery is concerned, by the Northeruers
| supporting them. Against this detestable
| coalition we must settle. As for the Irish,
| | would strongly advise them not to allow
| themselves to be driven into unconstitu-
| tional acts by the sneers andinsults of their
| enemies. They have now large party in
| England determined 10 give them full JUS
| tice 1t is desirable that they should act
with this party upon the basis of an ulti-
mate alliance. If they 10 this their cause
must prevail before long. fhe duty of the
Radicals is clear--to maintain an uncom-
promising opposition to any Government
with Salisbury at its head, whether such
| Government includes Liberals returned to
PARLIAMENT by Conservative votes, or
whether it is only unoflicially supported by
nondescripts.
