fFvom the Spectator, 18th Oct.

The political crisis in Portugal, which
has lasted nearly q fortnight, and has
threatened ever the existence of the Mou-
archy, ended for the moment on Monday.
General Chrisostomo, who is eighty years
old, then presented q complete Cabinet to
the King, formed from all the Monarchical
parties, and on Wednesday announced his
programme to the Cortes. lie proposes to
"~s0lve' the financial question by economy,
and to arrive at some arrangement with
Great Britain, though the latter would be
difficult, as British steamboats, wFro already
ascending the Zambesi. He %onld not
sign the Convention but would willingly
accept any modification of it which would
save the dignity and interests of the
nation. The chiefs Of the nOn-Repuhli-
can parties then made declarations
promising to display ''benevoIence" to.
wards the new Ministry, and the
Cortes were prorognpd for - very long
recess. Che idea OF the Ministry is beIiev-
al 10 be to gain time, and 10 endeavour to
obtain assistance either irom France or
Germany, AMI that failing, TO arrange .
4sodus uiuendi which will he in effect The
Convention over again. The difficulty, as
we have pointed ont elsewhere, is that
the Colonial Portuguese are f%urions, and
may take steps which our South African
Uolonists are in no temper TO endure. 1t.

putting no money in their pockets. So
keen is the feeling, that Mr.. Mckinley, who
last week made a speech promising prosper
ity from the increased duties, has this week
made one pointing out that nnder his tariff
30 per cent. of all imported articles come in
free. That, he says, is q boon TO Free
traders. Very true; but to tax a mans
coat and then tell him that his buttons will
be cheap may be strictly accurate, but is
not very comforting to his purse. The
Frre-traders are, of course. alert and hope
full, but they have MOI yet discovered a
good synonym for Free-trade, which is an
unpopular expression. They should call it
the Tariff of the Pilgrim Fathers"

geled. Mr.. Ma, thews defended. Detec-
tive Roper, o fthe City Police, deposed that
on Monday afternoon, at a quarter past
2~.o'clock, he was on London bridge. BE
saw a waterman,s wherry On the west side
of the bridge, containing four or five peo-
pie, and it was kept almost stationary.
There was q strong food tide running at
the time. The waterman brought :he boat

away in the direction Of the statue. Wal.
ter Beaumont went down the stairs and
got into the boat again, and the boatman
rowed him through the first arch. Witness
t1eu noticed that the cab had turned round
and was coming south and cOntat2ed the
two other defendants. He saw that the

si~iver-headed stick held mp. The man who
was leaning on the parapet then bcckoBed

Citywards. The Cabman pulled up to the
kerb and the two female defendants got
out and went to the parapet where the
man was standing. The child stood on
tip-toe, endeavouling to look over the para
pet. Her mother was just taking Oft II
water proof in which the child was wrapped
and witness saw that she had a bathing
dress on underneath. Witness took hold
of The child's arm and said, 81 shall not
not allow it," She said, ".AllOw what?'
Witness said. "Y0u intend this child going
over the bridge" She said, "She is a pro-
f~pssional swimmer and has dived 40ft.,"
Witness said, Il am a police officer and
shall stop her going over this bridge" The
man on tie parapet called out, and Walter
Beaumont came mp and the defendants
were taken to S~eething-lane Police-station.
This caused a crowd to assemble. A gem
tleman who was present said it was ~
shame to let the'child go over the bridge;
it was almost suicidal. In cr0ss-examlna-
tion witness said there was q crowd of $50
people. No ore was causing an ObStruc-
tion until witness spoke tOs,the defendants.
Mr.. Matthews, on the part of the defence,
contended that no obstruction wass caused
by the defendants. If the Court were OF
op Union that an obstruction was caused,
rhen he submitted that the case would be
met by an undertaking that the feat would
not be attempted to be performed again. The
child was a professional swimmer, and she
had been performing at Llandudn0, where
she made 81 dive of 40ft. Mr.. Alderman
Renals discharged the child, AS he did not
think she WAS to blame. 1t was almost
inconceivahle that rents should attempt
TO endanger the ives of their children sim
ply for she sake of notoricty or pecnnia'y
advantage. Surely there were other W 6

concessions, Lord Salisbury seeing no way
to negotiate with the populace of a great
town.
The negotiations with Italy as regards
African boundaries have failed. According
TO semi-of1cial accounts, Lord Dufferim
agreed to permit an Italian. occupation of
Kassala. provided that, when needfuI,
Egypt could reclaim the position but TO
this 8. Crispi refused to agree, pleading
that Italy could not incur all that trouble
and expense without permanent right OF
occupancy. Lord Dufferin refused to giSe
way, Sir Evelyn Barring pointing out that
Kassala was still de June an Egyptian
outpost, and that in Egyptian opinion the
owner Of Kassala would be too we'll seated
ds regards the Nile. The negotiations
were therefore brought 10 an end, though
they will, it is reported be resumed in
London, probably with the question of
Kasgala left out. The most anxious aSsur-
ances have been exchanged that the failure
in no way imperils the friendship of the two
Governments. It is not quite easy TO
understand why Italy makes such q point
Of the tenure of Kassala, unless, indeed, the
italian Generals believe that without it the
Mahdists' advance upon Abyssinia, which
is a ways imminent, may next M be sue
cessfnl.
The proceedings in Tipperary against the
IrisR Members for conspiracy have been
interrupted hv the flight Of two of Them.
Il cas- discovered on Friday week that Mr..
Dillon and Mr.. O'Brien would mot appear,
aud knowna few hours afterwards thar they
were either in hiding or had Quilted the
country. The police wee OF The former
opinion, and instituted an elaborate search,
and The Parnellites were Of the latter,
which turned out to be correct. The W
leaders, according to a message from Mr..
OBrien received in Tipprrary on Wpdnes-
day, had on October 9th left Oakley, near
Dublin, in a small yacht, and, after Q dam
gerous and difficult voyage of six days,
reached Cherbourg on Tuesday. They
intend to proceed to America, the profess
ed object of their fight being 20 battle Mr..
BaIfour's design of preventing them from
raising money in America for the "Plan Of
Cam aign." Their bail to the amount of
$4,000 was eStreated on Monday. The
flight has not pleased their English sup
porters, who . wished to quote them as.

besides, like pledges TO be kept even to

Mr. Champion teIegraphpd on Thnrsd y
from MElh0urue t0hMr. J. Burns to say
that the Australian strike had been mis-
maEaged and shat failure could not he
averted by any remIttanceS from England,
This is confirmed by the statements that
the strikers in South Australia have already
revOlted against The federation, and that in
Melbourne, but f09 the difficulty of obtain
ing coal, all business wOnld be going on as
usual. The employers have not given way
in the least, except in paying high wages
to the free men, and have adhered to their
resolve not to confer with the unioniStS
unless boycGtting were explicitly condemn
ed. Bat for the huge misery involved, we
could find it in our hearts to have wished
that the men had won, and had discovered
thereby that federated labonr," when sue
~cessful, will mean nothing except the re-
organisation of society without freedom.
when all are unionists, the laws of supply
and demand must act exactly as they do
now. the only difference being that the
unemployed, now maintained by the COM
munity. must be maintained by the Unions
Otherwise, individual competition recon-
menCes at once.
The Mckinley Tariff. which may he
broadly stated to aid so per cent. to former
duties, is producing its natural effect. The
American manufacturers aud the importers
have both raised their prices and the
tradesmen whose business il contracted,
aud the Western farmers who have to pay
the new prices, are alike growing furious.
They feel the Tariff like a direct tax, and
will, it is said, avenge themselves upon the
Republican Party at the coming elections
to Congress. They are not soothed even
