at Cincinnati.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DrsPArcH.I
CINCINNATI, March 6.-Ernest Salinget
one of the Hebrew divinity students who
killed himself Wednesday, was cremated
to-day. 1t is the first case on record of
one of his race being cremated.
There was an exciting scene at the Hebrew
College last evening, when DR.. Salinger, OF
Philadelphia, announced what disposition
would be made of the remains.
Rabbi Wise first ordered the body
taken from the college, and declared
that the funeral services should not pro-
coed. A meeting of the trustees was called,
and to them DR.. Salinger insisted that the
body should be cremated, as it was the wish
of his family and of the deceased. The
trustees finally yielded before this deter
mined stand, and the ceremonies proceeded.
This morning Sallnger's remains were
cremated, only his uncle, DR.. Salinger, his
sister -in-law, Mrs. Mack, and the latter's
sister, Mrs. Lipman, being present. The
cremation has excited the Hebrews of the
city almost as much as the suicide. The
Coroner's inquest began to-day, but investi-

LAST DAYS OF NEWGATE.
London's Famous Old Prison Is Going to Be
Raced to the Ground.

London's Famous Old Prison Is Going to Be
Raced to the Ground.
The last days of Newgate Prison are at
hand. The grim old prison. which has once
been so famous and infamous in the history
of the city of London. is to be razeu to the
ground, and on its site-a piece of ground
worth almost its weight in gold-are TO be
built great city warehouses. No visitor to
London city can pass the grimy black walls
OF Newgate without thinking of one or the
other of the hundred and one romantic
stories connected with the edifice. "Barnabv
Rudge" and the doomed haEgman; "Oliver
Twist" and "Old Fagin;' "Jack Saep-
pard" and "Blueskin," and "My Lord Tom
Nodjy"-heroes n of Dickens, Ainsworth
and Ingoldsby-come naturally to the front
in such thoughts.
But take up for a moment copy of the
Newgate Calendar. and at once memory can
recall so or 60 terrible crimes, brimming
over with all the wickedness and frailty Of
humanity. that have had their last scenes
and final tragedy in or about the spot that
in few years may become a vast warehouse
of silks. muslins, leather and sides of
bacon.

The Labor Commission Scheme Will Most

LONDON, March 6.-The Cabinet finds
the constitution of the Labor Commission a
difficult JOB. Mr.. Goschen agrees to pre-
side if permitted free hand to prepare the
scope of the question for consideration. A
section of the Ministry wants to have Lord
Derby as President and to limit the inqu Try
within the narrowest practical bounds. The
trades unions demand that one-half of tn e
members be drawn from the working cl ass es
has been generally censured. If the wor k
men get three representatives they will be
fortunate.
Every great interest in the country is
claiming representation. Shopkeepers,
manufacturers, railways and cooperative
societies all offer delegates. Prolonged
confusion, ending in fasco, is the probable
late of the commission. Labor associations
threaten to ignore the commission unless the
Government accedes to their demands, in
cluding discussion of all subjects form

WANT TO KNOW THE AUTHOR.
English People Very Much Interested In a
Recent Magazine Article.

EnHIlSn feOple very MUCH interested IN u
Recent Magazine Article.
There is an interesting controversy going
on in London-it has not yet reached the
newspaper stage-as to who is the writer oil
the clever article on "Public Life and
Private Morals" signed "M. in the current
number of the Fortnightly ReUiew. The
article in question is an exceedingly smart, if
patiently specious, defence of the otfense for
which Mr.. Parnell is now suffering the
penalty, which the writer regards as an
offense of considerably less magnitude than
(say) cheating at cards. Everybody is ask
ing the name of the man whom the initial
"M." is supposed to conceal.
l have it on good authority that the article
was written by the Duke of Marlborough
"a view of the matter which is strongly sup-
ported by internal evidence. On the other
hand, 1t is urged that the paper is much TOO
clever to be written by Duke, and that it
is undoubtedly the work of Mr.. w. H.
Malock. the clever author of The New
Republic"

Is Now Said TO Have Caused the Defeat of
the Force Bill.
SPECIAL TELKGRAM TO THE DISPATCH
WASHINGTON, March 6.-It is no more
than just to Senator ingalls, to say now that
to him, perhaps more than to any one
man, is due the defeat of the force
bill. On more than one occasion
the radical Republican leaders had pre-
pared to throw precedent, dignity and honor
to the dogs and pass the force bill by a coup
d'etat. Every suggestion of seizing by
force power which was not lawfully con-
Ierred upon the majority of the Senate Mr..
ingalls, responded to with so emphatic
negative as to put the scheme to rout.
When Ingalls, had notified the force bill
advocates that he would not while presiding
be party to any scheme to force the bill
through, he was asked if he would not be so
good as to absent himself from the chair
some day. so as to let one of his fellow-Sena-
tors carry out the plan, to which he also en-
phatically replied "no."

In counterfeiting, the American, English,
French and Italian almost monopolize the
business, the German. Irish, Scandinavian
and other races being altogether strangers
to the work. Even further than this does
the race line go. italian counterfeiters take
to silver work; Americans to engraved
