LONDON. Feb. 9.-Aveling the socialist.
having failed to make the deposit required by
the English law on the part of candidate for
Parliament. has been compelled to retire from
the contest at Northampton, his nomi-
nation being void. When the Social
Democratic Federation refused to advance
money for Aveling's candidacy, it was thought
that the Tories would do so. in order to keep
him in the field and divide the Lib
eral vote. The Tories. however, were chary OF
any dealings with Aveling for fear that he
might afterward expose the connection be
tween them and ii was resolved TO let Aveiing
shift for himself. Abandoned by all parties,
he has been forced to give up the fight. Tins
assures q Liberal victory at Northampton anu
il great relief TO Mr. Henry Labouchere,w who
did not want person of Aveling's record as
an associate i'm representing that place.
ENGLAND JEALOUS OF THE UNITED STATES.
The reciprocity treaty between the United
States and Brazil has aroused much uneasi-
ness in trading circles here, especially as by
the Governments own admission there Is no
obligation on the part of Brazil TO accord
similar favors to England. English merchants
have well-established houses at Rio de JanerlO
and other Brazilian cities and the British trade
with the Republic is valuable. IL IS feared
that much OF this will be lost TO England.
The course of the Brazilian Government in IA
voring American trade is attributed To heslta-
ton shown in Europe to recognize the Repup-
lie of Brazil, and the fact that Don Pedro Is
connected by ties of blood with ruling houses
of England and Germany, that last-named
country especially having put OIL recognition
until recently.
BARON wIssMAN NOT INSANE.
Late advices from Zanzibar show that there's
no foundation for the report that Commander
Wjssman's mind had become affected. Baron
Wissman, on his return TO the German east
coast Of Africa. found things in depiorable
condition, and most of what he had accom-
pIished undone The natives We're inso-
lent. and the Arabs were resuming the
open traffic in slaves. He ascer-
tanned that the English. while professedly
friendly, We're spreading false reports
among the native tribes as to the power and
the intentions of Germans, and widespread
impression prevailed that Germany was simply
an appendage of Great Britain. Wissinan un-
dertoOis vigorous measures 10 bring things
back 10 their former standard. He put sew
eral of the natives TO death who were cap
tured in the act of selling slaves, and
he rebuked the insolence of native chiefs by
again in the most submissive manner declare
their allegiance to Germany. he Is now en-
gagged in making war upon some tribes that
still defy the German authority.
The reports of his insanity he attributes TO
English officials who are anxious 10 see nm
removed from the coast in order that they
may have some other man to deal with.
TIE czAR AND THE JEWS.
The signers of the memorial to the Russian
Gar in behalf Of prosecuted Jews OF Russia
are indignant because the Russian Minister TO
England Baron De Staal, snubbed Mayor
Saveri. taking no notice of him and handed
the reply 10 Lord Salisbury. There is good
authority for stating that the memorial has
not injured, but has rather helped the Russian
Jews. IL was forwarded to the Gar through
General Derichter, who IS charged with the
reception of petitions addressed 10 the auto
crat. and whose duty it is to make a summary
of such memorials for the Cars personal pc
rusal. In this case it is understood the petit
ton was submitted to the Gar without
being summarized. 1t is also stated
that the Gar was pleased with the
respectful manner in which he was adj
dressed and while 1t would be derogatory 10
his dignity to retract line of his policy. yet
the instructions have been given to alleviate
the harshness Of anti-Jewish laws.
THE CANADIAN ELECTIONS.
But slight interest is evinced in the Cana
dian election contest. The Standard (Tory)
expresses confidence Cf Canadian loyalty. The
Pail Mall Gazette and St James Gazette
languidly condemn Sir John McDonalds
policy while they praise the manifesto.
