NEW YORK, April S.-The most prom
inent guest of Warden Osborne in the
Tombs to-day is Referee Joseph Meeks
who gained so unsavory a reputation ow-
ing to the part ne played in the fraudulent
Flack divorce case. He surprIs ed both
friends and opponents by deciding to un-
dergo a month s Imprisonment and pay
the $3.50 fine imposed upon him by Judge
Barrett, although he could have re-
manned out on bail, pending the final de-
cision of the appeal taken by him as well
as the Flaoks. Meeks passed last
night in cell No. in the
new prison, being the one formerly
occupied by the executed murderer, Pat
rick Packenham He had q restless
night of 1t, but this morning he seemed
more resigned to his fate. In fact, his
face had an expression of relief as though
he was glad that the nervous strain Of
expectancy was over. His breakfast
consisted of small steak, toast and
coffee furnished by the prison caterer, q
privilege permitted to all prisoners in the
Tombs. His cell is clean and has good
light and air, but is sparsely furnished
with the usual stool and cot. Warden
Osborne said very decisively that he
would not allow any carpet or extra
furniture to be placed in the cell. Mr..
Meeks will not even be allowed to pass
the hours of recreation daily permitted
to each prisoner in the yard. He is a
convicted prisoner, and as such must
content himself with couple of hours
daily promenade in the prison corridor.
He is under charge of Keeper VanHol-
land, who will lose his position in case he
allows any special privilege to the ex-
referee. 1t is the general opinion that
Mr.. Meeks has acted very wisely in de-
Gliding to take the legal medicine gfxen
him, but Flack IS friends fear that it may
injuriously affect their appeal.

LONDON, April S.-A notable company
was present in St. Margaret church,
Westminster, this morning to witness
the baptism Of the graudchild of Mr..
Glastone, who, with Mrs. Gladstone and
other members of his family, was one of
the earliest arrivals. After the cere-
mony the eX-premier was surrounded by
the company, among whom were num-
Der of his political opponents, and sub
jected TO general handwriting.
On his way to London Mr.. Gladstone
was presented with an address at Wey-
bridge. In acknowledgment of this
compliment he spoke for ten or fifteen
minutes on political questions of the
day, and took occasion to deuounce the
government for its recent perfidious
practices. The present ministers, he
declared, were merely usurpers and in
truders, and dared not submit their
claims to represent the majority of cleo
tors or to test the general
election, though they would be
forced to do 80 ere long. .

This statement has added very much to
the intensity of feeling against Mr..

good deal Of comment here, and has re-
vived all of the old stories about the neg
lect of her son to provide for her. Most
of the newspapers agree that the poiit-
zeal motives in view of the Importance of
the Irish vote were at the bottom of this
action, and regard it as a
means to doubtful end.

regular session, will be to change
the Rules. OF course, no one ex-
poets that it will adopt rules regard
ing debate as stringent as those
used in the House, but it is practi-
cally certain that the majority will
be given the power to end debate
after it has gone on for reasonable
time. 1t is deeply regretted by most
of the Republican Senators that it
was not done at the beginning of
the present session.
Republicans have most excellent
grouds for asking the people of the
country to continue them in control
of the House of Representatives.
See the important measures which
the House has passed at this session;
the tariff bill, the silver bill, the
Federal election bill, the National
bankruptcy bill, the bill relieving
the Supreme Court, the bills admit
ting four new states, the original
package bill, the bill against adul-
terated food, the antitrust bill, the
public Ian DIS bill, and hundreds of
minor bills. AS soon as the repub-
licans obtained control of the House
the prosperity of the country be-
gan to increase, and SO it will con-
tinue as long as they retain that
control. These are facts that should
not be forgotten.

Edwin ID. Coe,

While no ticket has ever been
placed in the field by the Republi.
cans of Wisconsin that has received
more general appreciation than the
present one, there appears to center
about the head of the ticket and the
candidate for Secretary of State the
6 eatest enthusiasm. Ed. Coe is
doubtless known to more people,
and counts a greater number of per-
sonal friends in the state than any
other nominee after Gov. Hoard.
His nomination was because of his
personal strength in the convention,
which no combination or political
dickering could overcome. The
same strength will surely be mani
fest at the polls, and Mr.. Coe be
found a leader when the ballots are
counted. In the Office of Secretary
he will>be found one of the most
competent, courteous and upright
the state has eyer had.
