Justice Hogan.

NEW YORK. March 24-"This man
COmStOck will Stoop 20 any meanneSS to
accomplish an end. He mas deliberate
IS lied, as no gentleman would do in or
der 90 cover up his mistakes. He thinks
himself mightier than the law. Indeed
I think he is labOring under the impress

pecIaiiy for his benefit
This scathng language from the
Bench was applied yesterday morning
in the Tomb's Police Court 20 the Secre-
tary aud chief agent of the New York

Justice Hogan six weeks ago granted
% warrant ou application %! COmstock
Tor the arrest OF three men who ran

and the Judge to-day dismissed one Of
them, as there was no warrant for his
arrest Comstock became very angry.
He denied that be had made any mis-
take. and declared he would have the
men arrested in spite of Justice Hogan.
He asserted further that Assistant Dis
tric- Attorney Welsh had told him that
am the prisoners should be held.
Just 40 that moment Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Weich entered the room
aud heard ComstOck'S last remark. He
promptly denied that be had told Com

ON the contrary, be had told him that
he should recommend the discharge Of

Comstock left the room in confusion.
and thereupou Justice Hogan expressed
his opinion oi his conduct in the severe
language quoted above.

POLITICS.
7alk ibou; American Political Meetings, and We
are Not Is It Compared with the Parnslites
and the OppOsi,ion-Tbs Angry Clash
Between the Different Factions

SLIGO, March 29.-To day has been
the liveiest day so far in the North
Sligo election campaign. BY eight
o'clock this morning the streets were
alive with people listening to the music
of several bands. The Parnell contin-
gents with their leaders were out by IL
o'clock engaged in personal canvassing.
Parnell met with a hostile reception
at Strand Hill, where he found it i'm
possible to hold Il meeting owing to the
piercing yells Of his opponents, and was
finally compelled to retreat TO Sligo.
The Bishop Of the diocese, together
with the priests Of the whole district
denounced Mr. Parnell to their congre-
cations at mass this morning.
Meanwhile the anti Parnellites-
Messrs. Sexton and Collery, Maurice
Healy and Michael Davitt and their
party-bent on an unfortunate attempt
to carry the fight into the enemy's
country. started at o'clock in the
morning for the Tieradge district, ad-
dressing small gatherings on their way
till Templehoy was reached. Here hos
tile camps had been formed. The Par
nellites maintained a sullen ST.
lence, but their opponents, with
ringing cheers, welcomed the reinforce
ments. The Parnelites gathered on
the brow OF hill armed with black
therns and other weapgns, threatening
to move towards their opponents. but
the police interposed and with line OF
bayonets awed the antagonists and the
storm subsidized amid muttered threats
and curses. All now moved in the d.
rection OF Dromore West, where
after similar scene the
pelted their opponents
with stones until they we're
chased and dubbed by the police.
Michael Davitt led his adherentS off, all
iucking their heads and some covering
themselves with rugs TO avoid the fusi-
ade OF stones Mr.. Pinkerton, n mem
Der Of Parliament, for Galway, had his
head cut and several Others were in
ured. On trying to enter Eskey, the
lnti-Parnellites found the road barred
by formidable array OF Par
lellites, aud on the ad-
vice Ol inc pOiiCe lucy ItLIcdItu iu tHc

IF stones and other missiles. The party
'eached Sligo In the evening, where
hey addressed large meeting. They
rave detailed account Of the days
and the treatment they had
-eceived, which they declared the Par
lellite leaders organized on the previ-
)uS night in Sligo.
They all vowed vengeance. AT the
iame time they compllmented the police
ipon the protection that had been af-
orded them.
The fuslade OF stones continued un

OCEAN DISASTERS
on the virginia Coast-spanish Steamer
Ashore-The Dictator Disaster.


NORFOLK, VA, March 29.-A tele-
gram from HatteraS life saving station
SAYS a Spanish steamer, bound from
Galveston, Texas, is ashore five miles
south of that station. The vessel is
lying easy close TO the beach. The cap
tain and crew are on beard and there is
no present necessity for their leaving
the ship. The engineer says the ship is
light and is in no immediate danger.
There is strong probability that both
vessel and cargo will be saved.
Lieut.. Walker, OF the United States
Life Saving Service, arrived at the
beach this morning and is making n
rigid investigation into the loss OF life
in connection with the wreck OF the
bark Dictator, Friday. There is dis
position here now TO censure the Sea-
lick station life-Saving crew for not at
tempting TO launch the life-boat, as it
was shown that even smaller boat
could make the trip in safely, the bark's
dingy coming ashore without capSizing
and bringing four men. Two of these
men after they had gotten ashore
wanted to take the small boat
back for their comrades, but were not
allowed TO do so. Only two bodies Of
those lost in the Dictator have so far
been recovered. The body OF the first
mate is thought to be laShed to the
wreck, and the body OF the captains
wife is supposed to be under the wreck,
as she was on 10 when the final crash
came A patrol has been established on
the beach TO look out for the bodies as
they come to the shore. Captain Jorg-
ensen and the other survivors reached
Norfolk to-day The crew will be for
warded to Baltimore, but the captain
will remain here until the body OF his
wife is recovered, when he will have 1t
and carried home.

USELESS MAGAZINE RIFLES.
The Latest Pattern Supplied to the British
Army Condemned.

LONDON, March ga vigorous on
slaught upon the new magazine rliie
adopted after years Of costly expert
ments for the use OF the British army,
was made in the House of Commons a
month or two ago, much TO the grief
and Indignation Of the Secretary for
War. who then declared that the rifle
was the very best weapon TO be found
in the world. The Secretary made
much of the elaborate tests from which
his rife had trlumphantly emerged, but
1t has since transpired that they were
not nearly SO strict as those now being
enforced by the United States War De
partment Committee charged with the
selection of a magazine weapon for the
American army.
Events have fully justified the British
critics. Twelve months ago 500 new
magazine rifles were supplied to thG
Second Battalion, Dorset Regiment
stationed at Plymouth, and this week
500 OF them have been condemned by
the Governments own experts, and mosi
0f the remainder are really unit for
active service. The general opinion in
the army IS that the only way to obtain
an efficient magazine gun is to throw
the competition open to the gunmaker'
Of the world.

PITTsBURG ROwDIEs
Interrupta a Chinese Funeral and Desecrate
"A Graveyard.

PITTsBURG, PA, March 29.-The
Cinnamon OF Pittsburg, contrary to the
general belief in regard TO their burials,
do not send their dead TO China, but
own a neat lot in Uniondale cemetery,
in which they are inferred.
This afternoon, one OF their number,
Jeu Seu, was buried with every rite and
observance attending Chinese obSequies.
Jeu Seu was high Mason, and long
procession Of Celestials followed the re-
mains to the grave. Here a most dis
graceful scene ensued, brought about
by some | 800 CaucaSianS, who trampled
over graves, tore down shrubbery and
iostled the timid mournerS in order to
crafty their curiosity.
%The Chinese reverently placed burn
ing joss sticks, perfumed paper and
printed prayers beside the grave, only
to have them almost snatched out OF
their hands by the excited men. They
also wrapped small coins in paper and
scattered them on aud in the grave, but
boys and men snatched them up and
fought furiouSly for possession OF the
curious mementoS. Cat calls, jeerS and
hows from the vulgar crowd added 10
a shameful scene that PttSburg most
heartily condemns, the excuse being
that the riotous crowd was only made
up Of the idle, vulgar and lawleSs.

IN DEATH NOT DIVIDED.
Romantic Story of Little Elsie and Her
Indian Lover.

SUPERIOR, Wis, March %. - Last
week an Indian and white woman
were found dead In the deep snow near
St. Croix lake by lumbermen. 1t was
found that they were "Big Fred, the
Indian hunter, and his little German
wife, Elsie, whose doingS caused such a
sensation around here about ten years
ago. In those days the only person
living on Minnesota Point were old
Granny" Schultz, feeble brother and
her granddaughter, Elsie. The old lady
kept the lighthouse that commands the
entrance to Superior bay.
Her own desire in life was to make a
school teacher of Elsie, and every day
the girl rowed across the bar to school.
But she had no heart for school, and all
the pleadngs Of Granny" and all the
irills and finery were Of no avail. The
girl finally refused to go to school, and
spent her time rowing about the lakes
exploring the inlets. One day she was
surprised by her grandmother lying in
the arms OF Fred, an Indian hunter, who
took her in his arms and fled. Search
was made without avail and months
went by without any trace. Then the
old lady took what money she had and
returned with her brother TO Germany.
Elsie and her Indian lover lived Vag-
abondish life, and this winter had been
living in deserted claim shanty. This
caught fire week before last on bitter
cold night. and the couple perished
amid the deep SHOWS Of that section.

AN AWFUL INVASION.
Morocco and Algeria Visited by Plague
of Iocusts

LONDON, March 29.-After month OF
ANXIOUS uncertainty there remains nc
room for doubt that Morocco and Al
geria will this season be visited by a
plague Of lOcustS. The warning first
came from Mogador last November,
whence the insects were then advanc-
ing in untold myriads. A spell OF cold
weather checked the advance for time,
but they have now arrived on the coast
at Casabianca, where they literally car
pet the ground. They have even in
vaded the city of Morocco, climbing
over the walls and infeSting the houses.
Famine is certain to follow their raw
ages, and in Morocco the wretched peo-
pie are always allowed TO die like dogs,
as they were twelve years ago, when a
thousand perished. Algeria can scarce
ly escape, for the Arabs who arrived at
Fignig from a village in the Sahara
state they rode on swift dromedaries for
more than sixty miles through Swarms
OF locuSts.
The authorities are beStlrrlng them
selves, but the latest and most scfen-
tihc measures have hitherto failed to
check the awful invasion, and this year
efforts will IN the end have to be con-
centrated upon the saving OF lives dur
ing the famine which must result from
the universal destruction Of crops and
every green thing which the locust, "El
Djerada, the Scourge Of the Most
High" can find on his way.

What Might HIVE Been.

LoNDoN, March 29-An interesting
incident is reported from Grasse as hay-
ing happened to Queen Victoria, in which
she very nearly incurred some danger.
The Queen was driving last evening on
her way to the George Du Loup. and
was about to cross the bridge when the
landlord OF the bridge inn rushed out in
front Of the carriage, crying out: Don't
20 any further. They are Springing a
mine there" The carriage stopped,
and the Queens attendants, upon max
ing inquiries, found that the railway
men were just about TO make blast In
a part OF the road where some improve
ments are being made. The Queen left
her carriage and entered the inn, and
thanked the landlord for his timely
warning.

WILL TRY THE HYPNOTIC PLEA.
North Dakota May Furnish the First Case
of the Kind In This Country.

FARGO. y. d., March 29.-From GER
tain facts which have come TO light
within day or so, it is possible that
the trial OF Joseph Remington, for the
murder of j. r. Flett at Arthur, may
become one Of the most famous in the
United States. At present it seems al
most foregonc conclusion that it will
be impossible TO convince any jury OF
his innocence on the ground OF insan-
ity or any common plea, hence 1t is al
most settled fact that the defense
will be of the same line as in the trial OF
Gabriel Bompard at Paris last year,
wherein it was claimed and so clearly
proven a case of hypnotism that her
accomplice was sentenced to hang while
she received term of imprisonment.
The theory in the Remington case, 1t
is understood, will be that while hyp-
Noticed by a Minneapolis woman he
murdered Agent Flett. Competent au-
thorities who have visited Remington in
iail with this theory In view, are said to
be Of the opinion that he is so constituted
as to be easily liable to mesmeric inlu-
ence. Should this line of defence be
adopted it will be the first one OF the
kind in the United States.
