Cardinals to BE Created.

1t is probable that the next consistory
will be held at Rome within few weeks
Cardinal Rotelli will receive the cardi-
nals hat, and new cardinals will be
created as follows: Mgr. Sepiacci and
Mgr. Rufo Scillo, for Italy, and Mgr.
Thomas, for France. The date of the
consistory depends upon the conclusion
of the negotiations with Hungary in re-
gard to the occupation OF the See OF

Unless the Supreme Court shall inter-

will be hanged In Memphis, Tenn, Nov.
next for the murder OF David II.
Poston, March 10 last The chapter in
the life OF Colonel King, so far as the
Criminal Court of Shelby County Is con-
cerned, was closed when Judge j. j.
Du Bose, OF the Criminal Court, after q
lengthy opinion, said: "Let the motion
be overrued."
|. The crime for which H. Clay King
stands convicted is too fresh In the
minds Of the people to need rehearsing
In detail Between 10 and IL o'clock on
the morning OF the 10th Of March Col
King stepped from a doorway on Main
street, oppo :ite Court Square, and shot
down Lawyer David H. Poston, who was
hurrying to the Court House on import
ant business He died a few hours
later. King at once gave himself up
and was committed to Jail without bail
and trial. A few months thereafter
came the trial, lasting thirty-two days.
The jury after nearly two days deliber-
alton brought in q verdict Of guilty OF
murder. A new trial was applied for,
and Judge Du Bose has delivered his
opinion, overruling the motion.
Every exception on the prisoners be-
half was overruled. There was brief
pause, a death-like silence for more than
a minute after the Judge had finished.
King sat perfectly stoid, with a broad
fan pressed tight to his lips Judge Greer
arose, and in few words said that the
prisoner excepted TO the judgment OF the
court in overruling the motion.
There was another pause Of min
ute, when Judge Du Bose, looking up
from the manuscript he had been ar
ranging, said; LET the prisoner come
forward"
Instantly Colonel King rose from his
chair, aad, with nervous step, but fixed
and immovable countenance, stepped q
few PAGES toward the bench and
looked steadfastly in the eyes of the
Court In distinct voice, the Judge In
effect said:
~It Is the judgment OF this Court that
you, II. Clay King, shall be committed
to the county jail, and there safely be
kept by the Sheriff until the 9th day Of
November, 1891, when, between the
hours Of 10 a. m. and p. m, the Sheriff
shall, within the jail or an inclosure ad-
jacent to the jail, take you to gallows
therein constructed and hang you by the
neck until you are dead"
The prisoner stood as statue, and
when the Court had finished he turned
on his heels and walked firmly back to
his chair. Major Weatherford then
arose and said an appeal would be taken
TO the Supreme Court
Colonel King, between two deputies,
was taken back to jail, and the crowd
which had thronged the courtroom

Russia May Cause Struggle in which
All Europe VIII Participate.
The Foreign Office here, says Lon.

easiness over the projects ascribed to
Russia involving the opening OF the Dap.
danelles and the iZure of Constantine
pie. These intentions may exist only In
the imagination OF certain correspond.
ents, Tut there is information in the
Foreign Office sufficient to justify the
belief that Russia is about TO start on a
new and important line of policy. The
contingencies in question have not been
sprung upon una wares They were
foreseen when the German Emperor was
here. Beyond doubt they entered into
subjects discussed during his visit to the
Queen a. Windsor and to Lord Salisbury
at Hatfield House. They were consid-
cred on all sides and the tone of the
German press at this moment shows the
impression which was made.
The most important journals point out
that an attack by Russia upon Constahti-
nople, or hostile movement against
England In Egypt, would not affect Eng
land alone, but would concern all Eu-
rope. England could not be left to deal
with the difficulty single-handed. That
is surely important notification to all
whom 1t may concern. Russia is rapid
ly increasing its feet and is trying to
get Its finances straight, and 1t means to
have central mobili. alton OF all its
forces.
The Black Sea clause OF the treaty Of
Paris will have to be abrogated There
need be no war about that Russia by
little tact might easily accom- plish
this object, even before the meeting q
Parliament, but II II means to pounce
down upon Constant nople IL would be a
different affair, Then a great war
would be inevitable, and breadstuffs,
which you have to sell in the United
States, would be worth anything you
chose to ask for them That is one
reason why accommodating complications
In European politics are OF great i'm
portance to the American people.

An Astounding Request by Russia PuEzies
European Diplomats.

The Russian Government has re-
quested the European Danube Commis-
sion to permit Russian naval cadets to
take passage on board the vessels be-
longing to the commission, In order that
these young officers may be instructed in
the pilotage OF the Danube and become
familiar with the navigation OF that
river.
This strange request, following close
upon the Dardanelles incident IN which
Russia Insisted that Turkey should
allow vessels belonging to her volunteer
feet to pass the Dardanelles, claiming
that they were not men of-war in the
actual sense Of the word, has caused
considerable astonishment in official
circles.
The Danube Is the chief natural high
way for the commerce of a large portion
Of Europe. The request just made to
the European Danube Commission would
seem to indicate that Russia would like
her naval cadets to be instructed in the
navigation Of the Danube above and
below the Iron Gate. It would also
seem that this Is hint that she may
not now consider binding, for her volun-
teer ships at least, the clause OF the
treaty Of 1878 stipu ating that "ships Of
war" should not navigate the Danube
below the Iron Gate.
