The Rebels Said to be Gaining the
Upper Hand.
PANAMA, April 7.-Passengers just ar
rived by steamer from Valparaiso declare
that the cause of the revolutionists is maxi
ing progress. They assert that in the city
of Valparaiso, the sentiment in favor of the
revolutionary purity is becoming very
strong 1t was pretty generally expected
when they left there, that on the arrival OF
the heeJ, the troops now adhering
TO the Balmaceda government
would renouuce their alliance and
90 over to the opposition. 1t is argued
that President Balmaceda realizes that his
cause is waning from the fact that he is re-
cruting his forces from the prisons. The
reports Of loss Of life and property resulting
from the revolutionary uprising which have
reached the outside world, these passengers
declare. have been much exagge ated.

A SAD SCENE IN CoU at.

Justice Stephen Retires From the
Bench Owing to III Health.
LONDON, April 7.-An affecting scene
occurred to-day IN the queens bench divis-
ion of the high court Of justice, upon the
retirement Of Justice Stephen. 1t was he
before whom Mrs. Maybrick was tried. aud
the mental strain upon him in that trial Is
said to have undermined his health,
both physical and mental, hence his
retirement to-day. All Justice Ste
phen's fellow judges, including
the lord chief justice OF England and Lord
Coleridge. president OF the queens bench
division OF the high court Of justice, were
present, standing, while Justice Stephen,
seated on the bench, replied in broken,
feeble voice to the high tribute paid to his
honor, integrity, ability and past services
by Attorney General Webster.
ALL DEEPLY MOVED.
All present were most profoundly Inn
pressed and considerable emotion was dis
played as Justice Stephen, in low tone,
thanked his colleagues for the good feeling
shown toward him and tears yelling into
his eyes as well as into the eyes Of many
others there, wished them good-by and left
the bench for the last time. Justice
Stephens wife and other members of his
family who were present, were also o7er>
come with emotion as the veteran judge
expressed his thanks for the kindness which
cheered his retirement from the high posi-
tion he had 80 long held.

NEWFoUNDLAND's TREATY,
The Bond Convention Proposal Re-
pudiated by the People.

The Bond Convention Proposal Re-
pudiated by the People.
HALIFAX. N. s., April IA dispatch
from st. Johns. N. r., TO the Erentng
Mail, says: "The publication of the draft
Of convention between this colony and the
United States, arranged Nv Mr.. Bond, to-
gether with the correspondence. has com
pletely turned public sentiment against the
proposal, which is quite worthless to the
colony"
The Herald criti"izes the correspondence
so sharply that the government used its
majority to censure Mr.. Morine, the alleged
author OF the articles. Mr.. Morine chal-
lenged Mr.. Bond to public discussion, but
the latter insisted on closed doors. Toe
government caucus was opposed to resolu-
tions of censuae, but MIR. Bond
threatened to resign unless they
were carried. Public Indignation,
because of the secret debate and cowardly
censure, is intense. The government first
intended TO prevent MI. Morine from going
on the delegation, but the public feeling
made them retreat, and Mr. Morine went
with the delegates in the Carthagenan
last night. The public are laughing at the
assembly for censuring man one day and
sending him as a delegate from the legisla-
ture the next on a mission of vital imports
ance. Tfte Newfoundland government has
Instructed it's officers to refuse licenses for
bait TO all Canadian vessels and to give
them tO Americans free. The legislature
was not consulted in the matter. Public
sentiment condemns this policy.

Great Activity in Military Circles in
kuss!a and France.

huS-!a ana Franco.
LONDON, April 7.-Advices received here
from several Of the principal capitals Of Eu-
rope show that the political situation on
the continent is regarded as serious by
leading statesmen and diplomats. Seve-
raj significant moves have been made dur
ing the past few days The action Of the
Russian authori les in doubling the
strength of the Russian forces
in Volnynia is gravely dis
cussed. The greatest activity prevails
among the troops garrisoning the principal
fortified places in France. Troops are be-
ing continually drilled in the usual military
tactics, and In addition they have been sub
lected to a series of sudden night alarms be-
tokening the approach Of an enemy, in order
to test heir ability to rapidly respond to a
call to repel foe.
The aiarmist reports circulated in regard
to the political situation did not have much
effect upon the continental bourses to-day.
At the opening the feeling was unsettled,
but the markets closed firm.

They Elect Their Candidate for
Supreme Court Judge.
MILWAUKEE,, WIS, April THE cleo
ton in this state to-day was for justice of
the supreme court. Political lines were not
drawn. S. U. Pinney was nominated by q
convention of lawyers, and E. H! Ellis, the
other candidate, was backed by democratic
politicians, but he was not formally nomf-
mated. Both candidates were democrats.
The votes was light, but dis
patches to the Sentinel from all
parts of the state point to Pinneg's
election. He carried Milwaukee county by
over 5000.
A Judge Of the superior court was elected
in this cJunty. Both candidates were DEM
ocrats and with one country town to hear
from, it is expected that Austin, the bar
candidate, has defeated Ludwig, the demo-
cratic candidate, by a small majority.
