English Press Comment on Cleveland
And Bayard.
PORTLAND, Nov. MARY J. Ruth.
erford is the latest applicant for a
decree of divorce from her husband,
Robert W., to whom she was married
in this city just one year ago to-day.
Mrs. Rutherford accuses her husband
of having f1agrantly broken his mar
riage VOWS; that defendant was ar
rested in this city August 1, 1888, for
smuggling opium, tried, convicted
and sentenced to state prison, which
brought disgrace upon the name of
plaintiff and humiliated her in the
estimation of her friends. If Mrs.
Rutherford can prove additional allie
cations contained in complaint she
deserves dozen DEGREES of divorce.

Lincoln, Colorado, railway first mort
gage bonds guaranteed by the Union
Pacif c, was closed abruptly yester-
day by a dispatch from London,

merry. of Cincinnati, and Pete McCabe,
of Albany, fought desperate battle
of ten rounds at City island last
night. Flannery gained the victory
after almost demolishing McCabe.
The battle was so quick toward the
finish that many spectators turned
their heads away to avoid the sicken-
ing sight. Just before the seventh
round, McCabe had the misfortune to
take a swallow of ammonia, which
the trainer gave him by mistake for
brandy and which seriously injured

NEWS FROM LONDON.
+ LONDON, Nov. LIT is stated that
in government circles it is consider ed
that the Sackville incident has ended.
Sackville has not yet advised the
government as to the exact date of
his return. It is possible some time
may elapse before the new minister
will be sent to Washington. The
American circle here are anxious that
Lord Dufferin shall be appointed to
the post.
The st. James Gazette, referring to
the action of the United States in the
case of Sackville, says: It would be
most creditable to good English
sense if Bayard's instructions were
treated with contempt. The Ameri-
can eagle is screeching. Let him
screech. We are not exactly prepared
to send ironclads to Long Island be-
cause Bayard is outrageously often
sive. Respectable Americans who
stand in neither with Cleveland nor
Harrison are nearly as much dis
gusted with affairs as Englishmen.
The Pail Mall Gazette expresses
the hope that the ire of the Demo
cratic wire pullers is assuaged, for
Cleveland could do no more, without
throwing lord Sackville into Jail.
What a silly business it is all through
British consolation is, that presi-
dent Cleveland eclipses lord Sack
ville's indiscretion. 1t is one thing
to be tricked into making. slip, and
to plunge headlong into the abyss oil
folly and i'll temper, and we pwe
Cleveland thanks for showing that
the silliest man in Washington was
not born in England.

that Cleveland cannot wait till Sails
