Marriage of Affection.
LONDON, July 7th.-Mrs. George Hitch
cock, whose husband ran away from her in
Paris with Miss O'Halloran, is in London.
She did not sail for America last week as
she intended to do, because she was cabled
by the relatives of her husband to wait for
friend from New York. This friend ar
rived to-day, and took Mrs. Hitchcock to
private lodgings, leaving no address at the
hotel where she has been stopping. Mrs.
Hitchcock is in a really pitiable condition
She is too much distressed and excited to
talk connectedly about her plans or pros
pects She will not say word against her
husband or sanction single step of crimi.
nal prosecution. Her only clear idea now
is that she must go back to America as soon
as possible to procure divorce. Her hus-
bands relatives, she says, have offered her
q home.
TORPEDO. BOATS.
Four torpedo-boats are to be dispatched
from the Chatham Navy Yards TO Bermuda
about the 18th inst. under convoy of H. B.
M troop-ship Tyne. This will be the
first time that the Admiralty has attempted
to send any of these small frail vessels
across the Atlantic.

The London Chronicles Vienna dispatch
says that the Bulgarian Government has
succeeded in contracting loan of q. 0OO,-
GOO tiorins with an American syndicate, the
rate of interest on the sinking fund being
fixed at 6 per cent. The loan was secured
by mortgage on a railway.
The American volunteer rifiemen, in the
matches of this week have broken not only
the English but the American records with
military rifles. Every team they have met
l,.as.h HOO IL,
majority of the English, Scotch and Irish
twenties, TO say nothing of the Queens
prize-wiuners. For team shooting, with
out practice and over a strange range every
day, this is so remarkable that it has set
English volunteers thinking, To-day the
American team went into campat Wimble-
don, where they will compete next week
with the English volunteers in individual
shooting with the Britishers' own rifles.
They will stay at Wimbledon during next

see his wife and daughter The latter has
been very i'll since her visit TO Paris and
unable to travel. George has taken passage
for home on the Umbria, on the Goth. The
laboringmen of New York have cabled him
TO prepare for q popular reception. This
week George will address the mill operat-
ives of Manchester. Next week he will go

THE MAVERICK CASE.
1t is Fortunate for Mrs. Maybrick that Sir
Charles Russell has undertaken the defense
of her case. She has not much money,
even though her friends in America should
come forward generously to her assistance,
and but for the fact that the case is going TO
be cause celebre Russell would not have
much to make out of it. In the way of
reputation it will be a great triumph if he
gets the accused of. Judge Stephens, who
is famous for his thorough knowledge of
trials where murder By poison is charged
has been selected to try the case. Public
feeling in Liverpool is bitter against
Briefly, because it is reported he is going to
take the witness-stand for the prosecution
in the hope of saving his own neck. He
has been cut, not merely socially but also
by business people, and il is said they
actually refuse 10 have any dealings with
him.
THE PRINCE OF WALES DIPLOMACY.
The Prince of Wales, who is a shrewd
observer OF popular opinion, sees what is
beneath all the silly twaddle in praise of
his daughters betrothal to the Earl of Fife
and notes the opposition to the grant by
Parliament OF dowry. In a speech at the
Lord Mayors banquet to the Shah of Per-
STA he saw fit TO make this statement:
MY Lord Mayor, | can assure you that
il is purely marriage of affection"
o'DoNovAN RossA's TREASON.
This has been Davitt's week in the wit
ness-box. He has come ont of the ordeal
after making as good an impression as any
witness yet on the stand, not excepting
A III;
O'Donovan Rosa to be the friend of the
Irish cause they should have heard how
Davitt answered Webster's question about
Rosa. Dsvitt said the books Ct the Carl
ton.Ciub will show the Tories had paid
Rossas election expenses at Tipperary.
