LONDON, Feb. 25.-Considerable satisfaction
is felt in France over the GOODNESS with which
the Pope treated the Duchess Dues, the noted
friend of Boulanger. who in her own behalf
and of the Comte de Paris supplied the Cen
eral with funds for his conspiracy against
the Republic. The Pontif, it is stated,
hardly noticed tho Duchess when she
visited the Vatican and accorded her
such slim courtesy that she has been
buried in modification ever since. 1t was
the object of the Duchess 10 try TO influence
the Pope TO turn from his attitude of friendli-
ness toward the French Republic, but she was
not given an opportunity to say word, the
Pope Immediately passing on to other yisi-
tors.
FUNERAL OF cARRoTY NELL.
The city to-day was the scene of most re-
markable spectacle IN the funeral OF the Coles
woman, otherwiseiknown as Carroty Nell,
whose murder has created such excitement.
The woman, who could not have mustered a
half dozen friends before the tragedy, was fol-
lowed TO the grave by an enormous multitude
of mourners. The crowds made an angry
demonstration against the police, whom
they seemed TO regard as in some
leas: for not having captured Jack the
Ripper before he had claimed so many vic
tins. Most Of the crowd dropped off on the
way, but struggling procession continued
for four miles As far as the Eas-End ceme-
terry the woman's coffin wns deluged with
flowers It was with difficulty that the police
prevented a serious demonstration OF popular
anger.
sHRoUDED IN FOG.
Il l..
Guilty that has long been an obstacle 10 their
art in this city, but which just now IL more Sc
rious than ever. For eight weeks past Lon
don has been wrapped in fog. the greater
part interfering with the sunlight the painters
need in their work. Consequently this years
pictures are considerably behind. and artists
are now hurrying mp 10 finish their work IN
time for the last day on which pictures are
received for the Academy. Leading artists
express the opinion that if London togs and
smoke keep on increasing in volume, London
is doomed a. a centre Of art.
Queen Victoria has cabled her sympathy 10
the victims of the Spring Hill mine disaster.
Steps are being taken in London, Glasgow
and other leading cities 10 raise funds for the
victims, many of whom have relatives IN
Great Britain.
From Dusseldorf, Rhenish Prussia, comes
the news of the burning OF an extensive cot
ton mill. whereby many operatives have been
thrown out OF employment. No .atalltles
are reported i'll connection with the afalr. but
it was only by great exertions that the flames
we're prevented spreading through the town.
EMPRESS FREDERIcK TO RETURN.
II ia now certain that the Empress Fred
elick will not stay in Paris later than Friday,
as the agitation against her visit is increasing,
and matters are being made more, and more
disagreeable both for her and for the German
Embassy. Bonnat is ridiculed as the syco-
phant of royalty. while President Carnot re-
ceiyes the universal endorsement OF the Ne
publican press for his tact in avoiding an in
tervew with the Imperial visitor without at
the same time giving occasion for offense.
The Seaman's and Fireman's Union are get
ting the worst of the struggle with the Ship
ping Federation. The ship-owners Of Aber-
deem are making a vigorous fight for the right
to employ men, whether they belong to
union or not, and it is said that they have no
difficulty in shipping all they need; All indi-
cations point now TO the final defeat of the
union in the various ports
