PRESIDENT CELMAN'S RETIREMENT.

The Argentine revoutionists have succeeded
in driving President Ceman out of office.
After the failure of their efforts to oyerturn
the Government by military revolt and naval
bombartlment the infatuated Executive, flushed
with an illnsory triumph, delivered himself into
their hands His bombastic manifesto, brstlns
with rancorouS resentment and denunclatlon OF
his batlied enemies, was the death warrant OF
the gamblers and spectators administration
BY his lack of moderation and OF patriotic
conservatism he convinced even Congress
controlled by his partisans that the continuance
of his administration was utterly imprac-
ticable The attempt to organize a coalition
Ministry at once collapsed. Rival leaders and
obsequions supporters were alike unwilling to
link their political fortunes with those OF an
Executive who had flung away timely OPP
portunty for the display of magnanmity and
had exposed himself to public execration. A
demand for his immediate resignation was pre-
sented by deputation from Congress, and
under the menace of Impeachment proceed
ings he retired from Office, discredited and alb
hOrred.
The vacancy has been filed by Vice-Presi-
dent Peegrini in accordance with the require
ments of the Constitution. How successful he
may be in rallying the best classes OF the pop
ulation to his support and in forming new
Ministry which will command public confidence
it would be premature to consider. In one
respect he is highly favored. since he is per
sonally acquainted with London linanciers deal
ing in Argentine securities and will have ex-
ceotional facilities for negotiating new loan.
On the other hand, he has been in sympathy
with the reckless financial policy which has
dcmorazed the country and reduced it to ex-
tremities The new Government must have
money or il will speedily 60 down and unless

FALL or AUSTRTA'S P4RNELL.

One of the most remarkable figures in the
contemporary history of the Old World has
inst vanished from the chess-board OF Eu-
ropean politics in the person of Francis Rieger,
the founder of the Bohemian Home Rnlc party,
and its lender for the space of nearly thirty
wears. During the whole of that period he
has welded power and an influence in
the ancient Kingdom of st. Wencenslas
immeasurably superior to those enjoyed by
Charles S. Parnell in Ireland For not only
the masses, but also the clergy and the great
territorial magnates and mobiles, acknowledged
him as their master, and as the principal oiam-
pion of Czech nationalism. Notwithstanding
bis plcbeian birth they all united to render
homage to him as their uncrOwned King, and
up to about three years ago his wishes were
regarded as absolute commands by all Czechs
within and beyond the frontiers of Bohemia.
Like Parnell whose name and family are Eng
lish rather than Irish, both the patUnymic
and appearance of Rieger are German rather
than Czech, and his connection with Bohemian
politics dates from the time when he contract
cd a marriage with the daughter of Palesky,
the famous historian of the Bohemian nation.
Thirty years ago Bohemia. which is peopIed
man inhabitants, was entirely under the rule
of the German Bureaucracy at Vienna Ger
man was the only official language used both
in judicial procedure. Government administra-
ton and schools and stern measures were used
to suppress every spark of nationalism Not
wthstanding this, Herr Rioger has sue
ceeded by dnt of clever and asUute states
manship in wrestling from the Imperial au-
>thorities at Vienna considerable amount of
autonomy and local self-goyernment for Boz
hema, public recognition of its nationalist
aspirations, and the substitution of the Czech
for the German language in all law courts,
schools or localities where the Czechs outnum-
ber the Germans
Intensely disgusted by these successive con-
cessions to Herr ReeeI the Germans resolved
to manifest their displeasure by refusing to
attend any sessions of the Bohemian Diet at
Prague and as no quorum was possible without
their presence, all legislation. so far as local
and provincial matters were concerned, re-

being more compact, but in. the process OF
boiling down" no essential provision has been
left out. The new bill will undoubtedly prove
effective in preventing frauds at the polls in
Congressional elections, which is the sole OBJ
ject of the proposed legislation. Il will not be
gratifying to the opponents of such legislation
to learn that their bluster about division in
the Senate committee has been mere sound
and fury and that the Republican members
were unit in supporting the substitute The
law is needed at the North as we'll as at the
South, as an interesting letter from our Al
bany correspondent this morning points out.
1t is generally agreed that Kemmer's death
was painless that he lost consciousness the mo-
ment the electrical current was applied To his
body. At the same time, il is clear that the
arrangements for the first electrical execution
were by no means what they should have been.
The dynamo itself was an uncertain quantity
and could not be depended on to supply cur
rent Of the intensity required. Then, again,
those in immediate charge of administering the
current to the condemned man had no means
of ascertaining its strength. These things
should have been foreseen and guarded against.
That they were not is proof of bungling and
bad mana cement The first execution by cleo
tricity was of necessity something of an expert
ment. Taking all the circumstances into ac-
count it appears to have been a reasonably sue
cessful one.

to develop spirit of scientific ardor in the most
progressive country Of Spanish America. In his
latest issue of the annals of the institution, oil
which he has general supervision, he gives an in

interior of Patagonia. The route taken was up
the Cbubut and Chico TO Lake Cohue, and thence
to Beagle Bluff, at the mouth of the Santa Cruz
and Port Deseado Although this vast region is
now without trees, enormous trunks of fossil trees
were found. Photographs of Darwins basaltio
terraces were obtained and large collections In
natural history were made 1t is singular how
little work has been done in this important held
