1t is rumored on good authority that the

Mr.. Parnell will bring an action for libel
against the Times in the Irish courts Mr.
Parnel in his affidavit declares that his ac-
ton if brought in Ireland will be speedier,
more convenient and less expensive than in
England, the most necessary witnesses re-
siding in Ireland many of whom could not
attend the trial except at eatinconvenence
and expense. The Times leader ridicules
these reasons, seeing that the commission
it's work, and that Mr. Parnell's action, as
already brought in Scotland, was more ex-
pensive and inconvenient for witnesses than
it would be even in London.
kilograms from Berlin indicate that Prince
Bismarck is not inclined to enter into further
negotiations with the American government
with regard to Samoa until after the inaug-
uration of President Harrison. Informa-
ton obtained from official quarters in Lon,
don induces the belief that Lord Salisbury

dee, Scotland. The abdomen was ripped open
and the body otherwise mutilated, The chest
was so small that the murderer had been
compelled to squeeze the body into it. The
murderer is W. H. Bury, the husband of the
victim. Bury was resident Of W hitechapel,

been traced, suggest that he is probably
Jack the Ripper" and that he is subject to
fits OF unconscious murder mania. The post

Dundee victim proved that the woman had
first been strangled and that her body had
then been mutilated. Bury says that he left
Whitechapel three weeks ago. He refuses to
say why he left there, and acknowledges that
he had no business requiring his attention in
Dundee He says that he and his wife drank
heavily before retiring and that he does not
know how he got to bed. Upon awakening,
he says, he found his wife lying upon the
floor with rope around her neck. Actuated
by sudden mad impulse for which he can.
not account, he seized a knife and slashed
the body. Upon reason returning he became
alarmed and hastily crushed the body into
the chest in which it was found, thinking to
fly and make his escape. He found, however,
that he could not leave his wife's remains,
and he finally resolved to inform the police.
The theory of the police officials is that
Bury's wife knew of facts connecting him
with the East End atrocities, and that she
took him to Dundee in the hope ofpreyent,
ing a reoccurrence of the crimes.
