very Damaging Testimony Given by

Very Damaging Testimony Given by
Mrs. Crawford.
In the Dixie case Mrs. Crawford confessed
that she disliked her husband because he
was too old, and that she loved Foster be-
cause he was handsome and pleasing, and
that she committed adultery with Dixie for
the purpose of obtaining divorce from her
hated husband. She spared Foster as far
IS possible, because she knew he was
about to marry. Under strict cross-ex-
animation she confessed that she had COM
United adultery only with Dixie and Foster,
exculpating two other society men. A re-
markabIe feature was that when Mrs. Craw-
ford was asked questions - for instance,
with regard to the French vice, adultery,
etc., she answered with the utmost calm
ness, Yes, yes" an0 even smiled, show
ing that she was naturally an abandoned
woman, who rather gloried in her shame.
Mrs. Crawford spoke in soft, pleasing tones,
damaging Dixie, without exculpating her
self
The evidence given produced deep i'm
preston. Its directness, clearness and cir
cumstantia1 minuteness convinced all OF its
truth. Dilke's refusal to deny the haison
with Mrs. Crawford's mother is attributed
10 the open nature of the scandal, render
ing denial impossible. The conduct Of
Mrs Crawford and her two sisters in Court
was marked by unseemly levity.

Chonsra IN Yohohan,n.

The first case OF cholera in Yokohama ku
was on June Sd. Up to the 9th there were
five sporadic cases, notwithstanding all the
precautions taken. On the 30th there was
a sudden outbreak of cholera. The entire
number of cases in Yokohama ku, from the
30th of June up to July 18th was 100, of
which 102 terminated fatally. Eotwith-
standing the precautions taken at the Osaka
garrison, cholera has made its appearance
among the troops. Mustard baths are to
be employed in treating cholera patients in
the hospitals, and tubs on wheels have been
made so that they can be readily moved
from ward to ward as occasion requires.

DIXIE DENOUNCED.
Progress Of the Trial Of the CrRw-
ford DiNorce SUIT

Captain Foster, witness in the Craw-
fOrd-Dilke divorce case, admitted he had
been guilty OF adultery with Mrs. Crawford.
He once qtiarreled with Sir Charles, called
him r liar, scoundrel and coward, because
he had secretly attempted to sever the rela-
tons between Mrs. Crawford and witness
He also atteIn pied to thrash Sir Charles,
but desisted at Mrs. ROgerson's entreaty.
Matthews then addressed the jury in be-
half of the petitioner, Crawford, whom the
lawyer described rs "the only one who
has emerged clean from amidst this plenti-
full throwing of the foulest mud Mat
thews did not mince matters. He describ-
ed things in the vernacular with such power
as to intensely excite Dixie, who became
livid with rage and twice jumped to his feet
and essayed to speak, but the Judge pre-
vented him from doing so.
Matthews referred with intense scorn to
the " Frenchifed Sloan street orgies,n and
said that no man who was not so brutalized
as to be lost to all shame would act as Sir
Charles Dixie had done in them. ''Where,'
asked the lawyer, is the Fanny accused
of sharing in these orgies, while this young
married woman, who was betrayed and de-
graded into them. is being held up to in
fanny before the whole English speaking
world, for ministering to the horrible lust
of Dixie? Fanny has vanished. She dared
not appear before this jury" Commenting
upon the apparent present lack OF sensibih-
ty manifested by Mrs. Crawford, Matthews
said: Doubtless the last spark of shame
and respect in Mrs. Crawford expired after
the visits she made to Dilke's house"

gramme Of HIS Government.

Lord Salisbury, at a meeting of his sup
porters, said that he had, on behalf Of the
Conservative party, offered the Premiership
to Lord Harrington, and that the Queen
had approved the proffer. Lord Harting-

of this promised support, the Premier said
that Lord Harrington had given assurances
that the Observation-Disclosures would support
the Conservative Government on every
question concerning the maintenance and
integrity of the empire. So far as the Irish

Irish grievances most careful considera-
ton.
Concerning this subject, a" said the
Premier, 81 would inform the meeting
that in any scheme of reform contem-
plated in the machinery of the Irish ques-
ton, I will do my best to obtain the CO.
operation of the Marquis of Harrington.
CCheers. The Liberal q nionists have re-
served to themselves freedom of action
outside of these limits, but l need fairly
say that we can reckon on their support
against vexatious and fractions opposition
or obstruction, without giving distinct
pledges" ReVerting to the Irish question
at the conclusion of his speech, the Mar
quis said: g might say also that the Min
istry will forthwith prepare bill to grapple
with the Irish difficulty in the direction of
extended local self-government."
The Marquis spoke for twenty minutes.
Among announcements he made was that
the Right Hon. w. II. Smith has been
agreed upon as Chief Secretary for Ireland.

cote), Right Hon. Henry Cecil Raikes, men,
Der for Cambridge University; Right Hon.

ing and indorsing his efforts to effect a
coalition with the Liberal Unionists, and
speaking with enthusiasm of the new Gov
ernments prospects. Lord 1ddesleigh was
accorded an ovation when he arose to adj
dress the meeting. Over 400 Tory peers
and Conservative members of the new
House of Commons were ipresent at the

The Cabinet Decides Upon an Tmmedi'
ate Resignation.

The members of the Cabinet have de-
cided TO Immediately place their resigna-
tions in the hands of the Queen. The
meeting was held at Mr.. Gladstone's official
residence, in Downing street. The street
was crowded with people.
After the Cabinet meeting Gladstone gave
a reception in the Council hall to a number
of his friends. Gladstone referred in de-
spondent terms to his staying powers, say
ing that ne would be unable to fight in the
face of an embittered Parliament. He
would do his best, but he urged his follow
ers to prepare to rely upon their leaders.

A London dispatch from Sophia states
that the collection of war stores and arms
and the drilling of troops are going on with
renewed activity. Military preparations
are also progressing on the Servian line of
the frontier. The situation in both coun-
tries indicates uncertainty as to the duration
of peace. Reports from Montenegrin sources
show that the Turkish forces in Albania are
receiving re-enforcements, the intention
apparently being to bring the garrison up
to a war footing. Russia is getting holder
and now demands the cession of Erzsroum,
in Armenia, the possession of which would
give her the key to the whole country south.
The necessity of supporting Turkey against
further Russian Entertainments is univer-
sally assured.

SAMOAN SUBJECTS.
why Bayard Has Sent an Agent To
the Islands.

The mission of George H. Bates of Will
mington. Del, to the Samoan islands has
called attention to the condition of the
United States interests there. The State
Department has never had confidence in
Consul Greenebaum, whose nomination is
still before the Senate. His espousal of
King Malietoa's interests and the establish
ment of an American protectorate were
looked upon as of doubtful wisdom, though
he forwarded voluminous documents ex-
planning the situation. Bates, it is said,
will confer with the representatives from
Germany, England and France with refer
ence to the neutral position of the islands.
He is neighbor of Secretary Bayard, and
it is thought that the real object of his visit
is to find out how much truth there is in
the story of German aggression, and also to
size up Consul Greenebaum.

long black bottle filed apparently with
explosives, with wire and fuse attachment,
burning and splitting fire, was found lying
under a row of seats in the upper cabin,
right over the engines. Only the GOODNESS
and nerve of deck hand kept the bomb
from bursting. The fuse had burned down
to quarter of an inch of the bottles neck,
when the terrified cries of a couple of women
brought deck patrol to the spot. He
pitched the sizzing machine over the ships
side, and the water entered the fuse before
the explosion came.

A RUSSIAN MOVE.
Serious Trouble Threatened Through
Chinese COnnIVanee.

Private dispatches tend to confirm the
threatened occupation by the Russians of
Port Lazeroff. Russia has long had a
coaling station there. for which she paid
yearly bounty to the COrean Government.
Russia aud China recently made mutual
concessions regarding the Manchooria from
tier, and it is believed China will quietly
acquiesce IN Russian occupation of Port
Lazerof III revenge for England's refusal TO
acknowledge China's suzerainty over Bur-
nah. In the event of war between Russia,
and England, Port LazerOf places Russia
in more advantageous position for both
offensive and defensive operations than
during the recent Russo-Afghan crisis. The
occupation of Port Hamilton by England at
that time was a serious blow to Russia S
operations. In military circles the matter
is regarded of serious import.
