Ministeria'ists are III the state of terror Gus

Is made vacant Thoy had fancled that the
Liberals would not dare 10 undertake the
hopeless task OF st"rmi the Tory stronghold.
md now that n Liberal candidate has actually
entered the beld. they are scr aiming for help.
The Tory ma ori.y thus pluckily tackled ty the
Liberals was 2.l5l In 1886. but in for, nights
time In all probability. It will net exceed 400.
l: the Belfast N,tcs is correctly informed.
and considering that 1t Is DIVER Gray's organ
there is no reason why 1t should not be. Dillon
and O'Brien have induced four more OF Par
nell's followers to join the fold guarded by
Justin Mccarthy. 1t looks like an entire
break up OF the Parnell following. Those who
cast In their lot wi b the deposcd dictator Rr0
still chalng under the stern rule imno- ed upon
them. and are irritated at tho scant courtesy
meted out TO them by their leader IN view OF
the sacrifices they have made for him.
Tho McCarthyltes nre not combining their
operations to ireland. they are siren gt gthoning
their organization In nil the leading citles OF
Great Britain. The superiority OF their ma
chincry over that OF the rival body is shown
by the prep arations for the registration courts.
In not few Instances the anti -Parnellites
have initiated q registration campaign. aud
they have. moro particularly in the southern
and southeastern parts OF tho capital succesd-
cd In presenting considerable number Of
claims. Their rival. have male little. in fact
no systematic effort In the same direction.
They have In one OF tho Finsbury divisions
made srasmodc ATTEMPT. but 1t hns n not heen
worry successful. The executive members OF
the boiy meet in Chnnccry lane weekly, hut
give little evidence Of their ACTIVITY beyond The
publication of resolutions
Lord Salisbury has no intention OF entering
into lengthy correspondence with William
O'Bricn on tho question Of his impending
bankruptcy. His secretary has formally nc
kno" ledGeh the receipt OF O'Brcn's offer to
refer to arbitration but Salisbury is too skilled
an antagonist to yield tho advantage which tho
Inv has given him. O'Brien has appealed
against the bankruptcy order. but 1t is only
adding to his own lawyers bill. Either he has
to ray Lord Salisbury's costs or be made a
hankrunt.
The police are wrathful over tho latest
murdcrous outrage In Whitechapel. They
wanted the public 10 believe that their plans
were now 50 perfort that no such crime could
he committed without tho perpetrator being at
once arrested. On Friday NOR ming the latest
victim. IN old woman OF seventy. was
attacked In much freluented thor
oughfare md lay weltering in her
blood. moaning with pain. without attracting
any notice from the pas-ers by. Tho police
knew nothing Of the occurre nee until two men.
moro curious than others, looked to see what
was the matter with the poor creature. and.
observing her terrible injuries. a. once called
policeman. Then 1t was seen that she had q
fearful cut In her throat and two severe stabs
In her arm. She could speak no English. and
1t was some time before she could tell her
story Then she declared that. being sleep
less. she went out for few minutes walk be-
fore retiring to bed. She had not gone far
when she was suddenly attacked by an un-
known man. who ran away directly after the
assault She YSlld not be able to recog-
ME him. A fRzor was found near the
spot. and this is the only clue tho
police have In order to account for
the failure OF their own precautionary
measures the police have adopted the bold
theory that this is a case Of attempted suicide
and not murder. but unfortunately for them
the nature of the wounds scarcely bears out
this view. Whether this is q new departure
by the original Jack the Ripper is open 20
question. The police do not believe that 1t ia.
An important result Of the recent rifle meet
ing at Bisley has been a somewhat general
condemnation OF III, new magazine rifle by
the volunteers. 1t was found that the ex-
tractor would not pull out the cartridge with
the bullet in II, though 1t usually extracted
the case after firing without any difficulty: bnt
the main objection was to the new sights and
especially 10 the fore sight which has been SO
universally condemned that the War Office
has reverted to the old barleycorn sight which
appears to be the best military fore sight OBJ
tairabIe. Tho absence OF recoil In the now
weapon is spoken OF with great approval.
