A British Member Of Parliament Gets
Year for Attempt to Procure Girl
LONDON, May 5.-Thet trial Of Edmund
H. vernsy, NJ, P. for Northbuckinsham.
shire, charged with procuring a COVER
ness, Miss Nellie Beckett, for immoral
purposes, took place here to-day. When
arraigned this morning Captain Verney
pleaded not guilty OF procuring the
young girl, but he pleaded guilty oil con-
spiracy in conjunction with Nine. Roul.
lier, Of Paris, TO procure her. The rec.
order, Sir Thomas Chambers, before
whom tho trial took place, accepted the
plea and sentenced CAPTAIN Verney TO
one yeas'G imprisonment without hard
labor.
During the trial the court was packed
with people eager to witness the last
scenes in thia sensational case. Captain
Verney though down.OaSt in appearance,
pleaded in a iirm voice TO the charge OF
Oonspirlng to procure.
The Recorder, in sentencing Captain
Verney, said that he had come to the
conclusion through the evidence given
that the case Of Miss Nellie Beckett was
the only case in which the Captain had
been implicated, and therefore he could
not lean toward the side Of mercy 80
much, as he could have done had 1t been
an isolated case.

PANIC STRICKEN RONE.
The Officials and the People in
a State Of Uneasiness.
THE FEARS OF A REVOLUTION
Constantly Growlns..PanIo at the
Vatican.-The Explosion Last
Week Believed to Have Been
tile Work of Anarchists.

LONDON, May Ca letter received
here from Rome discloses q number ol
new facts in regard to the riots which
took place there on May day, and as to
the general feeling of the people upon
same occasion. According to this letter
the public officials at Rome, as well as
the people. have been in a state Of actual
panic for week or two.
This state OF affairs, it appears, is due
to several causes, the most prominent OF
which are the fall of the ministry head.
ed by Minister Crispi, the accession OF
the Rudini Ministry to power, the strong
public demand for an equalization OF
expenses and receipts without fresh
taxation, the diplomatic troubles, which
have arisen between Italy and the
United States, and finally the explosion
at Pozzo Pantello, which caused much
damage and alarm in Rome and its
vicinity. All these incidents have tend.
ed to bring about the feeling OF panic
which, as already stated, exists among
the public officials and the inhabitants
generally at Rome.
In spite OF all the dsnials and official
statements made to the effect that the
explosion at Pozzo Pantallo, was not the
work Of Socialists or Anarchists, the
Romans are convinced that the explosion
was the work OF Anarchists, and 1t will
require considerable and most clear
evidence 10 the contrary to convince the
people, that they are mistaken.
IMPENDING REVOLUTION.
On May day, the letter says, the natu-
rai excitability Of the workingmen was
worked up to fever heat and the widest
rumors were circulated by those
who had everything to gain and
to lose by popular dis.
These rumors gradually
slew in importance until 1t was actually
believed that it was true that revolu.
lion was impending. These rumors
were continually magnifed and no.
where was the panic greater than at the
Vatican and among the various re-
ligious societies and communities of
this city. In this connection II was
stated that these religious bodies had
burriedly stocked their headquarters
with FIVE days provisions, and that the
inmates had been strictly confined with.
n doors. In word, the religious COM
were go alarmed at the Social
ct taint in the air, that they had pre-.
pared TO stand siege in the event Of q
Wholesale uprising upon the part Of the
