Belle Billions Husband Gets q Title
Through the Death of His Father.
LONDON, May 3O.-Thc right honora-
BILE, the Earl of Clancarty, whose title,
although an Irish one, gives him a
place among the peers of the United
Kingdom, died Friday at the age, of
81. The deceased nobleman recently
achieved a great deal of notoriety
by reason of his attempt to break
the marriage of his son, Viscount
Dunlo, with the quondam music-hall
singer, Belle Billion, by inducing his
son to bring an action for divorce
against l.er Lady Dunlo, who now
succeeds to the title of Countess Of
Clancarty, was recently member of a
burlesque company playing Venus, :"
in which she appeared in the title role.
The attitude of the family toward
the actress continues hostile. Viscount
Dunlo says that the late earl desired to
be buried in England and that he will
not be buried in the family vault at
Garbally, Ballinasloe, Ireland, unless
the will gives special instructions to
the effect. The retirement of Lady
Dunlo from the stage is matter of
course.

of the military forces on shore. BY this
time the Itata is not far from the Chilean
coast ana the chances of her being over
taken by the Charleston or any other
American war-ship are not very promising.
THE CHARLESToN's CHANCES.
Several prominent captains were inter-
viewed on the subject by CALL reporter yes
terday and all thought that the chance of the
1tata's ever being brought back to the United
States is not the best. What is to prevent
her, after the stores and arms are out of
her, from running down to Sandy Point and
coaling up, and then lighting out for Aus
tralia or New Zealand for fresh supply OF
arms and provisions? The insurgents have
lots Of money, and gold will buy anything,
remarked one.
Another gentleman said he would not be
surprised II the ltata was never heard OF
again, as there is nothing to prevent the
insurgents, after taking everything of value
out of her, from sending her to the bottom
In preference to seeing her fall irto the
hands of the United States.
Had the Charleston been able to follow
the Itata, there is little doubt but she would
have been captured, but the time lost in
c0aling at Acapulco, with the fact that
the Itata changed her course after having
spoken the Esmeralda, places the Charleston
virtually out of the race, as the Pacific
Ocean is big piece of water in which to
look for ship.
WHY THE ESMERALDA RETURNED.
1t has been thought that the return of the
ESmeralda to Acapulco was only TO throw
the American vessel off the track, but this is
not probable. The true reason was because
the Chilean war-ship was out OF coal ana

SINEWS OF WAR.
A Pledge of 100000 TO the
Striking Carpenters.

A mass-meeting of the union carpenters
of this city and vicinity was held last night
at which, after long and stormy debate, a
resolution was passed to continue the strike
for the eight-houT day in the mills. Instead
of bOycotting all material prepared in the
shops, as has been done during the week,
only material prepared by bench carpenters
who work more than eight hours per day
will be nterdicted.
BY taking this action the strikers avoid
conflict with the contractors and narrow the
strife to a struggle between them and the
Millmen's Association. They are confident
of victory, as three members of the associa-
ton have already established the eight-hour
day and two others will follow their example
tomorrow.
The strikers will not suffer during the
struggle, as every union carpenter in the
city last night was assessed So for their
support and the Amalgamated Carpenters
Union Of the United States has promised to
give 100000 if that sum of money is neces-
Sary to aid them
