Special to the Gazette.
LONDON, April 9.-As predicted in last
nights dispatches, it is now asserted
upon unquestionable authority that the
action OF Home Secretary Matthews in
the case of the brothers Richard and
George Davies, the former OF whom was
hanged yesterday for killing his father,
will be made The subject of parliament
airy discussion at as early a moment as
the matter can be brought up. The fact
that not even the queen IS recommends
ton of clemency was permitted by Mr..
Matthews to alter his determination to
hang young Richard has deeply lnoensed
thousands of the home secretary pOliti-
cal adherents, and his obduracy will cost
him his seat in the ministry if his expuI-
sion can possibly be brought about.
WARNING TO SALISBURY.
The action of the brewers in urging
Gosohen, chancellor of the exchequer to
remit portion of the existing duty on
beer is regarded generally as a hint,
which, if it is not needed, will be fol-
lowed by the exercise of pressure too
great for even obstinate Mr.. Goschen to
withstand. Already the chancellor is
reminded that Gladstone 8 second minin-
stry, very much more strongly in
trenched that the present government,
was overthrow because OF its attempt
to impose additional tax upon beer, and
the same fate is predicted Will befall Lord
Salisbury IS cabinet if it shall persist in
its purpose to maintain the present duty
on the poOrman 3 beverage.

gan, American banker, is stated to be

gan, his son, arrived on the steamer
Teutonic from New York to-day and i'm
mediately left for Mount Carlo by spe-
cial train, arrangements having been
made for similar transportation the en-
tire distance.
SEEKING A PARDON.
A movement is on foot in literary cir
oIes to endeavor to obtain the release of
Madame Tschebrikova, who Is in Rus
sian prison for writing a threatening let
ter to the czar. With this end in view,
various literary clubs in London are pre-
pairing a joint memorial to the car,
praying that the lady be set at liberty,
and an effort will be made to secur the
cooperation of the government in the
matter, though the success of the latter
movement is doubtful.
It is stated IN Rome that the contribu-
ton TO Peters Pence from America dur
ing the year 1889 amounted to only $4,000.
CAN MAKE BETTER TIME.
The alterations in the propelling ma
chinery of the new Hamburg America
line steamship, Augusta Victoria, which
have been in progress lately are COM
pleted, and the ship is ready to resume
her place in the feet. She has been
fitted with new three blade screws iu-
stead of screws with four blades, hith-
erto used, and during an eight hour
trial averaged speed Of twenty knots,
equal to thirty-five miles an hour. This
change to three blade screws will bring
her speed up to that Of the Columbia if
it does not exceed it.
A steamer sailed from Hamburg for
Zanzibar to-day with a cargo of railway
iron, bridge material, arms, ammuni-
ton, etc., in response to requisition
from Maj. Wissman.
The Emperor William has consented to
open the coming exhibition at Bremen in
