EMPEROR FREDERICK-A telegram from

dition saws that during the last iew DAYS
the Emperor has had slight diiilculiy IN
swallowing, which, however, has not ~
fected his general health. He passed a

The Democratic party welcomes an eA-
acting scrutiny of the administration oI

lion of Grover Cleveland as President OF
the United .;tates.-N Y. STIR.
OF the Republican Convention, which
meets al Chicago one week from to-day
the 1rijuHe says
There will be no contests OF lmpor-
tance in the convention, apart from the
Virginia cases growing out of the strug
Gle between the Malone and anll-Mahone
wings of the party. The convention a.
regularly mate up will consist OF $50 del
cgates, and All votes VIII be required 10
make a nomination. II is possible, how
ever. that the claims of Dakota and
Washington To be represented in the
convention a. if they had already been
admitted as States will be recognized
In that case the nominating body Will
contain S32 instead Of $50 members, and
the winning candidate must get All
votes"
THE Pension BuL.-The President :
Signature has just made the annual pen.
sion bill a law, and it appropriates more
than $50, 100000. So prodigious an out
Law would have been looked upon with
amazement dozen years ago, when the
pension list cost less than 100000 900
wear. and had begun steadily TO decrease
AS it naturally should, ten years after the
war was over. But the arrears bill OF
the HAYES administration involved the
/ country in an extra burden OF several
! hundred millions. and from that time 10
thi. there has been a feverish anxiety in
Congress 10 spend more and more fol-
pensions-N y. Sun.
| The London correspondent OF the Ne"
! York 7rijimt records the latest freak OF
English society, which is nothing less
than q deliberate attempt 10 boycott Glad
stone This piece of folly Is only matched
| by the order of an American newspaper
] owner some years ago, that the name OF
General Grant should Le excluded from
the columns of his paper.
The London Times has persistently en-
deavoled 10 connect Parnel ism, and Mr.
/ Parncll individually, with crime in Ire
land. 1t had published certain criminal.
Ing letters, which without doubt were
forgeries Incidentally Mr. O'Donnell
has been included in the range of il,

the proprietors of the paper for libel.
