ing been honorably discharged from the French

PUNISHED FOR DEVOTION TO THE CAR.
Much bitterness has been aroused among
members of the Greek church in Bosnia by the
deposition of the metropolitan, Dionysus, by
the Austrian government for his devotion to
the Car of Russia. Dionysius taught his flock
that the car was their temporal and spiritual
sovereign and that no claim upon their loyalty
should be considered as superior to that of the
car. Dionysius having remained obstinate,
Notwithstanding repeated warnings, has been
stripped OF all his clerical estate and deposed
from the Office of eXarch. Count Kalnoky or
dered this action to be taken a notice that
the Austro-iiungarIan government would not
tolerate any approach to disloyalty or any dis
position to aSgrandize Russia at the expense of
the Austrian empire.
SIR JOHN eoRsr's INDEPENDENCE
The breach between Viscount Cross and Sir
John Gorst is far from being healed, notwith-
standing the good offices of Lord Salisbury.
The Independent course of Sir John gives color
To the report that he would sooner be out of
the administration than in it if he could get
away without too much abruptness. Sir John
was seen yesterday in the Hobbies conversing
with Morley and other leading radicals. and the
fact Is considered significant in consequence of
the persistence OF Sir John in the odious role
OF a can,ti friend. The political secretary for
India has been for some time past drifting away
from his fellow tories. and even should he re-
future confidence. Among the liberals he
would receive hearty welcome. both on ac-
count of his rugged sincerity and his valuable
knowledge of Indian affairs.
WILL BE EXPELLED FROM PARLIAMENT.
De Cobain the Belfast member Of parla-
ment. will within few days be expelled from
parliament unless he chooses to come forward
and face lis accusers. His whining letter in
which he pretends sickness as a reason for
avoiding trial on the charges against him is
not favorably received. De Cobain can only es-
cape expulsion from parliament by appearing
in person in court.
LABOR REFORM IN AUSTRIA.
The Austrian government. it is stated in a
dispatch from Vienna, is following in the foot
steps Of the German kaiser on the subject of
labor reform. One Of the measures which the

creation OF institutions tending to facilitate
Cancellation between employers of labor and
their workmen. The bill provides for the ap-
pointment of wOrkingmen syndicates and for
the establishment of boards OF mediation. 1t
is further proposed to instl ute trade corpora
lions among mining operatives.
