nation to maintain the conflict with tn,
followers of Mr.. Justin Mccarthy. Thu
vacant seats of Cork and Kilkenny
(made SO by the death of Mr.. Parnel
and Sir John Pope Hennessy) are ex
pected to be contested again by rival
nationalist. The talk of the Irish
group in the national liberal club indi
Gates the existence OF proposal tc
avoid contest by giving the Cork seal
to a Parnellite and that Of Kilkenny to
an adherent of Mccarthy. The temper
OF the Parnellites is against any com.
promise, for they believe that the re.
action In Ireland toward Parnellism is
so strong that they may succeed even
where their dead chief failed. In rela-
tion to the Paris fund, there are queer
rumors that 1t will be found to be so
depleted that there is almost nothing
left. Mr.. Parnell's personal finances,
as is known, were seriously reduced
during the past two years. A few
weeks before his death he came to Lon
don seeking an extension of time on
several bills. He explained that IL was
to enable him to pay up some outstand-
ing calls on his shares of the Freen,an's
Journal, In order that he might main
tain his right to vote at the board. His
long delay in paying the costs OF the
divorce proceedings was similarly due
to a want of ready money. He ought to
have had a large income from his
estates, his stone quarries and the
$4,000 testimonial received several
years ago. He was not extravagant
personally, but he beggared himself in
his secret expenditures in the cause of
home rule. ~.
FREQUENT communications are pass-
ing between Berlin and Vienna, and the
subject is believed to be the operations
of the Russians in the southwest.
Whatever may be the intentions of Rus
STA, everything is being prepared as II
for war in that direction. The re-
serves are out, ostensibIy for drill; 240,-
900 are on tle o0nI-~ -n-..th,--er
within ten miles Of that river, the Ru-
bicon of Russo-Turkish war, and the
Russian forces are amply fitted with
pontoons and all the requisites for rapid
advance into the heart of the Balkan
states. 1t Ia said Austria is in some
doubt as to whether to regard Russian
advance toward the Balkans as q cause
for war, and also as to whether In such
an event she could expect the co-opera-
ton of Germany, and that this is one
reason for the frequent interchange OF
dispatches between the two capitals.
The supposed attempt on the life Of
the Emperor of Austria lacks the finish
of well-trained conspirators. The shells
were placed In a position whore they
were bound to be more noisy than
deadly and were left to explode at an
indefinite time. AS q matter of fact
the explosion occurred hours before the
emperor was due to pass by. It Ia sur
missed the outrage was the work OF
patriotic Czechs, who took this means
of protesting against the emperor's at
tention to his German subjects marked
by the visit just paid to Reichenbsrg.
People prone to suspicion might see in
that awkward performance a trace OF
the hand of scheming police authority
DESTROYS to earn a cheap access to popu-
larity for the emperor. There is no
ground for the suspicion Of such tricks
in Austria; but the effect was certainly
obtained, the emperor being everywhere
received with outbursts Of popular en-
thuSiaSm.
THE house of lords In England ia
really in danger Of extinction. All that
is necessary to raise the issue is stupid
act of hostility to public interests, and
the aristocratic branch Of parliament
has rarely failed to indulge in just such
hostile stupidity whenever an emer-
gency arises. The aristocracy Is rot
ting out. 1t is merely burden and an
obstruction. 1t has attempted to
thwart nearly every important pro-
gressive movement in British politics
during the last century. The lords
have not been attending to public
business. Out of a peerage of roo MEM
bers the attendance does not average
more than forty.
GENERAL BOULANGER committed sui
eide on the tomb Of Madame Bonnie
maine, his mistress, who recently died
at Brussels. Boulanger committed sui
eide about noon. He stood alone by the
grave of his mistress for some time. An
attendant of the general who remained
some distance from Bonnemain's tomb,
suddenly heard sharp report in that
direction. Rushing to the spot he
found Gen. Boulanger laying dead upon
the ground, with a revolver clenched In
his right hand. A hasty examination Of
the body showed that the dead man had
placed the revolver to his right ear and
fred the fatal shot.
THE famine in Poland is growing
worse. Workmen have paraded the
streets of Zawirke and looted the baker
shops and other places where eatables
were to be obtained. Troops were sum-
moned to the scene and fired upon the
mob, killing one workman and wound
ing several others.
BY order of the car, no court balls
will be given during the coming season
Of winter festivities. On the other hand,
the money usually devoted to such en-
tertainments will be devoted to the re-
lief of the Russian famine sufferers.
HoRDEs of Russian soldiery are con-
ceHtrated on the frontier of Hungary
and much alarm at their presence is
felt in that country.
TROUBLE among the London dock Ia
borers exists and indications are that 1t
will eliminate in a general strike OF
longshoremen and steVedores.
CANON DOYLE, a prelate in Ireland,
severely attacked the morality OF men,
bers OF the Irish party.
The German bundsrath refused to &C.
cept the bill to repress drunkenness, the
emperor's pet measure.
