GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS.

The Court of Queens Bench Again Crowded
An Audience of Fashionable People.
The Court OF Queens Bench was crowded to-
day with fashionable and distinguished people in
attendance on the trial of the second action for
libel brought against Lord Chief Justice Colo
ridge by his son-in-aw, Charles W. Adams.
Adams declared that the Lord Chief
Justice wrote letter explaining to certain
personal friends why he opposed the marriage of
his daughter Mi,Gred with Adams, and in this
letter he alleged that the plaintiff endeavored to
obtain his daughters money by compromising
her SO she would be compelled to marry him.
The publication of this libel, Adams contended,
consisted in showing the letter TO
the Earl of SelbOrne, then Lord High
Chancellor, and the Earl of Iddesleigh. Secretary
of State for Foreign Affairs, who were induced
to act as referees in the settlement in the other
action for libel, based the Lord Chief Justices
letter to his daughter, endeavoring to dissuade
her from marrying the plaintiff by making Sc
we're a ,acks on his personal character. During
the hearing both the Earl of Selborne and the
Earl of 1ddeslelgh occupied seats on the bench.

Cleveland's Love of Mugwumps.

Washington Special.
In spite of the loud professions of the mug
wumps that they supported Mr.. Cleveland from
the pure and abstract love of the true, the beau
tiful and the good it is surprising how many Of
them have accepted Office for themselves and
their families The latest is Mr.. George Ticknor
Curtis, whose son has just been appointed to an
EXCEL ent place in the Interior Department Mr..
Beecher, too, had no desire or expectation of re-
ward, yet his son was made Col
lector at Port Townsend and when the
Senate committee divided on his confirmation
nobody worked harder than the clerical mug
wump to stave off an unfavorable report. 1t is
only necessary to watch the applications and rec
concentrations to office for given length of time
and the name of every mugwump in New York
will appear asking favor of the President
And it is very apt to be granted, too No man
living, not even the greatest mugwump OF them
all, has so mistakenly magnfed their conse-
ouence Mr.. Cleveland himself. He really
thinks that he owes his election to Joseph w.
Harper, George William Curtis and George
Tcknor Curtis, Henry Ward Beecher and their
followers. But being what is called practical
politician, he expects to render quid pro quo,
and recognizes his obligations in busness-like

There was an interested crowd at the Interior
Department to-day to listen to the argument of
Roscoe ConkIing in the Field WylIe telegraph
printer contest before the Chief Examiner of the
Patent Office. In the presentation of the case
Mr.. Judson, the opposing counsel, sought to
throw doubt upon the character of Mr.. Wright
one of Mr.. Conklings witnesses, because he
bet money horses. Mr.. Conkings rejoinder
created great amusement. 1t was delivered in
the orators happiest manner. Mr.. Conkling
said:

chased their holdings from the Marquis. AS he
is cousin and heir presumptive to the Earl of
Clanricarde, who owns large estates in County
Galway. and is extremely unpopular with his

with his tenants is taken a strong indication
