with revolvers.
Dynamite bombs were exploded under the

the doors. Bently, who was probably
fatally wounded. is deputy constable here.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 25-Raising babies
Of premature birth by tie aid of a mechani-
cal incubator is the latest freak of medical
science at the Womans hospital, North Col
lege avenue and Twcnty-second street. For
the first time in this city this process was
put to practical test ten days ago, when
Florence Ryall, an eight months child, was
wrapped in swaddling clothes and placed in
the incubator. The baby is thriving under
the process, and apparently enjoying the
best of health. She weighed at the time of
her birth about three pounds, or one-half
the weight of an average newborn child.
The incubator has raised the baby's weight
up to five pounds within ten days. She
rests in the incubator constantly, except

England,s Defenses.

VIENNA, Feb 25.-The Fremdenblatt,
commenting on the royal speech in the En-
glish parliament says: England has no
reason to fear for any point within the
British sphere. Her efforts to develop her
military system do not introduce disquiet-
ing element, because the peace powers aims,
and especially Lord Salisbury's have always
received cordial support"
The Neue Free Press says that Lord Sails
bury's foreign policy has hitherto achieved
all that England could expect. The paper
comments upon the entente eordiale between
England and Germany regarding colonial
affairs, and says that Austria and Italy are
connected with England by warm sympathies
and friendly reciprocity, and fully appre-
ciate the community of interests in main
tanning the British royal power.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-At the White
House it is said that the President and Mrs
Cleveland have not completed their plans for
the last days of their stay at Washington
They have received many invitations to
spend several days at various houses, and it
is also said they have accepted Secretary
Fairchilds offer of hospitality, and will 60 to
his house on Saturday, and they now expect
to go over to New York on Tuesday, the 5th
of March. Apartments have been secured at
the Victoria hotel, corner of Fifth avenue
and Twenty-ninth street, for Mr.. and Mrs.
Cleveland, Mrs Folsom, Col and Mrs. La
mont and children, and this party viii leave
town together and spend the spring under
the same roof
1t is possible that the president will leave
the White House on Saturday, the I'd, when
he can do so quietly and without attracting
undue attention to himself and luggage. If
he should delay his departure until Monday,
the morning of the 4th the streets being full
of people for the Inauguration display, he
would find himself the observed of several
thousand observers, which would be un-
pleasant for the outgoing and retiring presi-
dent. There is little of personal and porta-
bic property for the Clevelands to take from
the White House, as Oak View has been made
the receptacle of most of the goods accumu-
lated since they have lived at the capital
The party may go on Monday as there is
nothing to detain them after the inaugura-
tion of Mr. Harrison.
The members of the cabinet cannot leave
the city until Wednesday, or not before
their successors are inducted into Office and
confirmed by the senate.
The family of Secretary of the Interior
Villas will not get to their home in Madison,
Wis, until May or later, and they will prob
ably go to Europe for the summer.
Secretary Whitney will leave the city on
Wednesday leaving the packing to I've done
by the servants, and he will occupy their
New York house that is in readiness for
them.
The Fairchilds too, go on to New York on
Wednesday, or soon thereafter.

He Used Harrlson.s -Ynrds.

LONDON, Feb. 25.-It is as5.rsod in par
lament circles that the principle olfense for
which Mr.. James L. Carew, the National
ist member for North Kildare, was arrested
up in Scotland the other day, where he was
making stump speeches for his friend, Sir
John Kinloch, hustled off to Ireland SEN
fenced to four months Imprisonment, and was
the reading at various meetings of a speech
made by President-elect Harrison at Home
Rule meeting held at indianapolis in April
1887.
After referring to the memorial to Mr..
Gladstone which Gen. Harrison signed re-
Gently, Mr. Carew said: Long before Gen.
Harrison was a candidate for the presiden
he had given clear and unmistakable expires
sion to his opinions regarding Ireland "
Mr. Carew then read the following extract
from the indianapolis speech; 81 am not
here to discuss particular measures Of relief
for Ireland. l am not here to suggest that
legislation should take this or that precise
form, but all here will at least agree that it
should be progressive in the direction of
more liberal government for Ireland than she
now has We are not here to suggest to
Great Britain that she shall concede Irish
independence. The disintegration of nations
is seldom accomplished by legislatiye enact
mont. When that comes it comes as the
fruit and result of successful revolution
1--WE are here simply to say that, in our
opinion, as American citizens, what Ireland
needs is not coercion, is not the constable, is
not the soldier with mIske5 and bayonet,
but liberal laws tending to emancipate her
people from the results of long centuries of
misgovernment and that when this British
ministry starts in tba diracticn of coaroio,,
and postpones suggestions for reform until a
coercion bill has been enacted by parliament
it is travelling in a wrong direction.
''It is not impossible in this age of the
world to govern people as numerous and
inhabiting a country of such extent as Ire
land by coercion. The period in the worlds
history when men might be governed by
forco-their inclinations coerced, their
aspirations for participation in government
suppressed-has passed away forever. More
and more the American idea that govern
ment rests upon the consent of the governed
is making its way in the world"
Mr.. Carew said that upon another occasion
Gen Harrison said: sit is gratifying to
know that Irishmen can make quiet, but
unyielding resistance to oppression by par
liamentary methods. l would rather be
William OBrien in Tullamore Jail, martyr
to free speech than the lord lieutenant in
Dublin castle"
These extracts, which were brought to Mr..
Carews notice a short time ago, have been
printed in pamphlet form and distributed
widely. They exerted no little influence
upon the electors in Perthshire, whore Mr.
Carew was arrested, and will be made use of
in future parliamentary contests.
