Mr.. Gladstone Again Asserts that They Are
Most Shamefuliy Treated. :
LONDON, Sept. MIR. Gladstone, in a speech
at wrenham, to-day, said that the Times had
done him an unexamplsd compliment in answer
ing q speech not yet delivered. He bad no wish
to interfere with the natural and legitimate per-
formance of the Times in throwing dirt upon
him. He remained strong in the opinion that
the criticisms of a mans enemies were more usei
full than the cheers Of friends. He maintained
the truth Of his former statement that he had
seen a political prisoner in Naples better treated
than were the imprisoned Irish members of
Parliament. 1t had not beer denied that some of
the Parnellites had broken the law, but the
trainers and administrator of that law were
more guilty than the Parnellite offenders. He
would not say that Imprisonment had killed Dir.
Vaudeville. yet he declared that Vaudeville
was used In a manner that disgraced the Irish
government, and any government in the world
would be disgrsced that did the like While on
the subject of the treatment of political Offend
ers, he observed that it was seldom that he
was able to speak with satisfaction of the policy
Of Austria, but he had learned with the great
est satisfaction that Austria had given liberal
home rule to the Gslician Poles, and In that re-
spect she was far ahead of England. Referring
to Welsh sympathy with the Parnellites, he
said that the people OF Wales would not be los
ers by the present AGITATION They would find
that the Scotch, who were a determined people,
were with them when there came a demandsfo Tor
the solution of Welsh questions. That demand
could not be made until the Irish question was
disposed OF. In the afternoon Mr.. Gladstone
made q speech at the Eistedjfod. His remarks
had no political bearing.

w~AsHrNeroS, Sept. 4-For two months Eu-
gene Higgins, the notorious Baltimore political
manager, who was some time ago pushed out OF
the appointment clerkship of the Treasury De-
partment on account of his high-handed disre-
gard of civil-service reform. has been lodging in
and out Of Washiu gton regularly and paying
visits to several parts Of the country. There
have been inquiries made as to what he was MP
to and what he intended doing in the campaign.
Higgins has been doing Striking work for Sem
ator Germans Stun politicians Of Maryland so
long that it would be unreasonable to suppose
that he would not take q hand in the pending
campaign. It is learned that ne has been desig-
mated to 'fboodleize' Indiana, and that he has
Just returned from q trip through the southern
portion Of that State. Higgins has long been
given the reputation of beingsfamous colonizer;
he has been credited with transporting from
Washington and Baltimore into doubtful States

Harrison and Morton ON the Pacific Coat.
To the Editor OF the indianapolis Journai:
An Indiana Re publican's interest in the sue
cess of the ticket naturally causes him to make
inquiry as to the feeling on tho Pacific coast.
The result of such inquiries would c%onvincs the
most skeptical that Harrison and Morton have
nothing to fs~r in this direction. The California
Lex ple say that no dissatisfaction exists: upon
the contrary no ticket has aroused more en-
thusiasm, and that acosssions to the Harrison
and Morton ranks are reported ali alokg
the line. The people of the Territories
are hoping and praying for the sue
cess of the ticket and the advent of an
ADMINISTRATION which will not be controlled by q
narrow-minded political prejudice. They Justly
condemn an ADMINISTRATORS which has adopted
. system of ward politics in dealing with the
magnificent Territories A visit to the Terrific
ries, and especially to Washington Territory,
would cause any honorable Democrat to blush
with shame IN coutem plating his party's treat
ment of this people. With population and re-
sources more than double that of many Of tho
States when they were admitted, this Territory

Jacksonvilis's Worst Day.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Sept 1.-THE official
bulletin this afternoon reports 43 new cases,
making in all 1886, and one death, Mrs. Stark, of
No. 116 East Forsythe street. Total deaths to
date, 81. This has been the worst day yet.
The record has again been broken.
The list records names from almost
every quarter of the city. The suburbs seem
especially infected. No cases SO far, it is
believed, have been contracted on the south side
of the St. Johns river. 1t is probable the Board
Of Health will call for medical aid. Skilled
nurses are greatly needed-those who have had
yellow fever and know BOW to nurse fever
patients. prepare food for the sick, etc. Com
paratively few cases have yet appeared among
the negroes. but it is getting a fair start in the
suburbs, where they mostly reside.

Atlantic fast-freight train struck and instantly
killed three laborers near State Line last night.
The men had been walking upon the other
track, from which they stepped to the one on
which a fast freight was running. to avoid .
passenger train that was laundering toward
them. Their backs were turned to the freight
and the noise the passenger train made pre-
vented them from hearing It's approach until il
was too late to get out Of its way. The engi-
neer stated that the men were not over fifteen
feet ahead Of his engine when he saw them. One
of the men, John Mikus, is an Italian, and had
in his pocket a postofice receipt for money sent
to the old country. Ths other two were Ger
mans. unknown here, and nothing was found
on their persons by which they could be identi-
fed. Ali were comparatively young men, and
