LONDON, Feb. 2O.-Matters have gone
badly with Sir Charles Dixie during the
week. The expectation of his friends and
adorers that the public would accept his es-
cape on a legal bubble as proof Of innO-
cence has been completely disap-
pointed. The feeling in all classes
Of society runs high against
him. Has defenders are personal and polit-
ical friends. The council of the Chelsea
Liberal association has passed vote Of
confidence and accepts his denial Of the
charges which he failed to make under oath
in the court. The Birmingham Times pub
fishes long argument apparently from
Sir Charles Dixie himself. The
points were that he intended and
desired to deny the charges on oath. but
as his legal advisers and Chamberlain
unanimously dissuaded him he yielded.
though he was ready with testimony 10
show the improbability of Mrs. CrawfOrd's
assertion. This statement contains little
that is likely to affect the general opinion.
The Chelsea association stands almost
alone. The provincial and religious press
agree in stern censure and stern protest
against Sir Charles Dilke's Te-entry into
public life. The Law Journal says that the
legal meaning of the decision is misunder-
stood. The judge did find as a fact the
guilt of the two persons charged with adul-
terry. Sir Charles Dixie has not appeared
in the house of commons. 1t is reported
that he intends to live abroad for two
years.

up when l asked him his views on the tariff.
Il am a firm believer he said, ''in the
American policy of protection. In my can
vass of the state in 1884, made the issue of
free trade and protection as clear as pos
sible to the people" And Senator Mcmillan
DID not CHANGE
his tactics in the districts of the Republican
members of the Minnesota delegation who
voted for the Morrison horizontal reduction
bill in 1854. In his opinion the people of
Minnesota, while divided on this question,
were beginning to appreciate the importance
of manufactures and the development OF
natural resources. This was illustrated in
the opening of what are known as
the Nemillion mines and the exten-
sion of railroads in that district
Pig iron was being made in the state, and
Minnesota WAS undoubtedly rich in mineral
resources. Duluth was decided TO be a great
manufacturing, as well as a great CONNER

this into consideration was not a broad
enough policy for them. The present. Sena-

the influence OF the Italian regina has

Mr.. Sherman did not go because he was in

accept an invitation that will require him 10
wear dress coat. He made this Stipula-
tiOn when he entered the cabinet and sticks
to it. While Mr. Garland is never seen i'm

life whose conversational powers excel his
when he is in the mood for talking, and a
lady told me the other day that she thought
Mr.. Garland had the most beautiful eyes
and the most winning smile she ever saw.
He is a lonely man and lives with Mrs.
Hubbard. his deceased wife's mother, in al

visits. Mr.. Garland furnishes the Jetfer-

lie knocked her down and clutched her by
the throat. A man named Herbert o. Craig
rushed i'm and attacked Carney with bar
rel stave. but failed TO make him
loosen his hold and went TO seek
more effective weapon. At
this point another sister named
Alice Beggers, entered the room and was
set upon by Carney. She fed. and catch
ing her foot in a briar, fell 10 the ground.
Carney paunced upon her, and drawing a
pOckcl-Anife. plunged the blade repeatedly
into her body. At this point fourteen
year-old son of Mr.. WOrrell came upon the
scene and struck Carney with a stone in
the back of The head. The blow seemed
to sober the brute, who turned from his
victim and ran. He was chased and cap
tured by neghbOrS. and handed over to the
police. He appeared to act in half crazy

will prove fatal. There are seven cuts
upon her body, two on her neck, one on the
