IRELAND's CONDITION.
John Morley Again Speaks OF His
Tipperary Experience.

Jonn MOrleV again speaks OF hlS
Tipperary Experience.
LONDON, Oct John Morley delivered
an address at Swindon this evening. He
ridicule1 the idea that because he had been
a cabinet minister he should blindfold him
self to affairs in ireland. he said that
what pleased him more than being
a minister was being an envoy
of peace and hope from the democracy of
England to the democracy Of Ireland.
Every word he had told Englishmen about
the happenings in Ireland was true and he
was glad to have helped in the exposure of
the maglsterial authorities.
sNEERED AT BY GOVERNMENT SUPPORTERS.
Sir Michael Hicks Beach, president of the
board of trade, speaking at Gloucester TO-
day, described Morley's statement, relating
his experiences in ireland, as travellers tales.
A recurrence of the famine of 1876 was
impossible under the conditions OF the peo-
ple The government has taken measures
TO prevent any extended suffering on &C
count Of the failure Of the potato crop. -
Rt. Hon. Edward Stanhope, secretary for
the war department, formerly president Of
the board of trade, made speech at Horn
castle in a similar strain. He declared
that the alleged famine in ireland only ex-
isted in the Imagination of the Parnellite
leaders and American anglers for the Irish
votes.

DUBLIN. Oct. 1.-THE FreemdnS Journal,
in an article on the proceedings of Irish

tenants to their holdings and suspending

INTERNATIONAL COPYRIGHT.
The Situation In America Discussed
by the Literary Congress.

by the Literary Congress.
LONDON, Oct. 7.-At the international
literary congress here to-day Jules
Lemina, permanent secretary. read report
on the copyright situation in America. He
regretted the defeat of the bill proposing an
international copyright law, and attributed
it to the prevailing unquenchable antagon-
ism TO England in America between the
eastern and western states. He held out
little hope of favorable settlement.
Count Keratroy, speaking from a long
experience in America. declared that the re-
port was too gloymy and that a successful
issue might be expected far sooner than the
report indicated. 1t had been easy hitherto,
he SAID, under the rules of the House of
Representatives, for few active
opponents to prevent the copyright
bill from arriving at the stage of
discussion, but the recent accession to power
of Reed, the great friend of the copyright
association, would render such tactics more
difficult. Secretary Blaine, President
Harrison, ex-President Cleveland and other
prominent Americans had favored the bill,
which would have been passed if all the
absentees had voted A fresh bill, he said,
would be discussed in December, and this
bill, he declared, would pass.

To Be Publicly Executed in Houston
County Oct 20.
PERRY, Ga, Oct Tom Voolfolk was
sentenced in open court at o'clock this
afternoon by Judge G. F. Gober of the Blue
Ridge circuit, presiding for Judge Miller.
Voolfolk stated again that he was innocent
of the crime with which he is charged, but
that ne preferred death to his present sur
roundings and was ready for the sentence
He Is exceedingly pale and ghostlike in ap-
pearance. but beyond this showed no visible
excitement. The sentence is that he be
hanged in public within one mile of
the court house in Houston county,
and that the execution take place In
public on Oct. %, 1890. Judge Gober was
very visibly excited, and at one time il was
thought he would break down. The court
room was crowded. Woolfolk's attorneys
had nothing to say, though Col. Duncan, of
the late firm Of Duncan & Miller, was pres
emit.
WoOLFoLKs FRIGHTFUL CRIME
The crime for which Voolfolk will hang
is the most notable in the annals of the
state. On the night of Aug. II, 1887, Wool
folk took an axe and. going from room to
room in his fathers house in Bib county,
butchered every one of its inmates while
they slept. The victims of this fiendish butch
cry were his father, his step-mother, three
half sisters, three half brothers, one infant
in arms; an aged aunt, Mrs West. The
murderer was tried in Macon in November.
1887, and. afterward, having been gwen a
new trial by the supreme court, with a
change of venue, was again tried in Novem-
Der, 1889, at Perry, in Houston county He
was convicted and sentenced to be hanged
on both trials. On the last appeal the de-
cision of the lower court was sustained, and
the sentence pronounced to-day is final.

Lord Compton's Insurance.


Lord Northampton is a vastly fortunate
parsonage. In 1879 his eldest son, the late
Lord Compton, borrowed G 10, 600 from the
National Life Assurance Society on the Sc
curity of his reversionary interest in an en-
tailed estate, but if he died before his father
las happened, of course the security was
worthless, The society proceeded to insure
Lord Compton's life Tor 934. 900, the under
standing being that it was to pay the pre-
miums and add them to the amount of the
loan, and the policy was to be transferred
to him if ever he paid off the debt. He died
three years ago, by which time his debt to
the society had risen $4,000. The society
therefore, congratulated itself upon having
made profit of nearly e20. 600 on the trans
action; but, 10 and behold Lord Northamp =
ton, as executor of his deceased son, de-
manded the balance of the e34 900, and, in
spite of the agreement tetween the society
and Lord Compton, his claim has been sus-
tanned by the court of appeal. The result Is
highly satisfactory for Lord Northampton,
who gets nearly ego, 900 from a fund which
neither he nor his son nor any of his family
paid penny to create.
