Zulu ENJOYS in England on a Very I'm
portant Diplomatic Mission.
tBr CABLE TO THE DIsrATcH.l
LONDON, May 3o.-Two black Zulu men,
claiming to be ENJOYS of King Gunguyane,
ruler of a big fertile country in Africa, for
the possession of which the English and
Portuguese are squabbling, arrived in Lon
don Wednesday, in charge of shrewd old
Natal colonist named Doyle, who plays the
interpreting business. The ENJOYS say they
are under royal orders to see Queen Victoria
and demand British protectorate for their
country. Should they be successful the
British South Africa Company will have
skillfully played the trump card, as
they will be enabled to turn the
Portuguese out of Gungunyane, a
country, which, in addition to being
fertile, is believed to contain untold mineral
wealth. The probabilities are that Lord
Salisbury will receive the ENJOYS, and
Queen Victoria may decide to relieve the
monotony of life in the Scotch Highlands
by having palaver with them at Balmoral.
But, in any event, the unfortunate envoys
will return to their country completely
spoiled, judged by the stern Zulu standard,
and will die young. About ten years ago
Cetewayo, King of all Zululand, after
annihilating an English expedition, was
finally defeated, captured and exiled. In
the course of time he was allowed to visit
England, and took polite society in London
by storm. Champagne and trufies had
played havoc with the old savage, and he
did not live long.

the candid critics story, reach Freemantle

ness will alike be merged in wild anarchi-
cal effort to identify the writer and mingle
his blood with the sewage which he declares
abounds in the streets of the town. The
measure of the writer's malevolence may be
taken from this delicious description of the
aristocracy of Freemantle:

SACRAMENTO, May Boa strange story
came to Light here yesterday. Justice of
the Peace W. A. Henry was sitting In his
Office when two men drove up in cart, and
one of them, an old man, asked to see the
Judge privately. He said his name was
John Zwald, and that he lived on ranch a
few miles south Of here, near Sutterville.
He said his conscience had been torturing
him for the past two years, and he had con-
cluded to make confession and take the
consequence. Zwald was accompanied by
his eldest son, and as the latter never heard
of his fathers crimes, the old man requested
him to hear the confession.
Zwald then told the story of how he had
murdered two wives eleven years ago. He
said he lived in Ohio with his wife Catherine
and four children. Prior to that it had been
happy household, but his wife began to
drink and it became impossible to live
longer with her. He took two of the
children and fed to Minnesota, locating at
place called Anoka. A few months later
his wife followed him and the unhappy life
was resumed. Finally, Zwald says he be-
came so exasperated at her drunkenness he
concluded to put an end to it. He purchased
arsenic and put it in her whisky. She died
in two days, and he buried her without caus-
ing any suspicion.
Three years later he moved with his chill
dren to Wayne, Neb., and after living there
some time married again. His second
matrimonial venture, according to his story,
was worse than the first, and he had sue
ceeded so well the first time m Kidding him.
self of his wife that he tried it again. This
time he smothered his wife with the bed
clothes. The Coroner of Wayne investi-
gated the case, but could get no evidence
and Zwald escaped. He came to California
then and took up his residence near here.
Justice Henry believes that Zwald tells
the truth. Others who have known him
during his residence here say he is not in
sane, but has been morose over some great
trouble. The matter was reported to Sheriff
Stanley, who took zwald into custody at the
latter's own request until the matter could
be investigated.

LONDON, May 30.-Herbert Spencer, high
priest of the cult of the survival of the
fittest, recently astonished his hard-headed
disciples by saying an encouraging word in
public for the National Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Children. One must
not wrong the author of 'The Study
of Sociology" by suggesting that he
displayed unseemly enthusiasm or cordiality
in his commendation. The word was eau
tiously and coldly spoken, and amounted to
little more than an admission that it was not
impossible the society might have done or
would do good. But it had scarcely been
uttered when the great man began seriously
to doubt whether his heart had not taken
him further than his head should have
allowed him to go. Ere long the doubt be-
came certainty, and Herbert Spencer has
recanted more publicly than he sinned.
'fIt is surprising" he writes to the news
papers, with what light hearts people are
led to abrogate the order of nature and to
substitute an order of their own, declaring
all life on the earth has risen to its present
height under a system of parental obliga-
tion. Throughout, the process has so
worked that the best nurtured offspring OF
the best parents have survived and main
tanned the race, while offspring inadequately
nurtured have failed to leave self-suficing
posterity; and now it has come to be
thought that these strong parental feelings,
which in billions of creatures throughout
millions of wears have worked so bene-
ficially, may with advantage be replaced by
machinery. The replacing of parental re-
inevitably cause degradation and eventual
extinction
The police court records of cases in
that parental feelings, to which Herbert
Spencer refers so admiringly, took the form,
among others, of brutal blows and kicks,
fogging with straps, pokers, ropes, boots,
chairs, kettles and frying pans, stabbing
with forks and knives, the rubbing of mus
tard oil into wounds and burning with hot
irons.

The new Earl is not quite % years of age,
and his interesting Countess is at least
seven years his senior in age and about 30
years ahead of him in common sense and
knowledge of this wicked world. The
Countess of Clancarty cannot be kept out of
the ancestral halls; but as the estates ale
heavily mortgaged, and as the dead Earl has
left all his personal property to his younger
son and two daughters, the household must
still be kept going by Her Ladyship's pro-
fessional earnings. These are now equal to

the present, save by the permission or
doubtful generosity of Augustus Harris
who has the lady under contract for q

George Britt, the proprietor of the house.
Risch was a somnambulist, and it is sup
posed that he walked in his sleep during

fell to the ground. Mr.. Britt was awakened
about 1890 O'clock by the loud barking of a
dog which he kept in the back yard. The
dog kept on barking, and finally
Mr. Britt got lantern and
went out to investigate. He found the body
of the dead man, dressed only in his under
clothing, lying on stairway leading to the
second story.
Risch had room on the third floor, back,
and he must have fallen or jumped to the
ground, as the window in his room was
open. Risch when found showed signs Of
life, but these soon disappeared: There was
cash about an inch and half long on his
chin and several of his toes were broken, in
dicating that he landed on his feet and then
fell forward, receiving the cash on the chin.
A fracture of the skull evidently caused
death.

ST. PETERSBURG, May 30.-The idea Of
moving the royal residence from st. Peters
burg originated with the Gar himself. 1t
was at first suggested that the imperial resi-
dence be changed for one year, but then it
was shown that this measure would cause
serious inconvenience, as the highest Office
of the State and the foreign diplomats
would have to remain in st. Petersburg.
The permanent removal to Moscow was
therefore finally decided upon as being the
best.
The significance of this step needs no ex-
PLANTATION. 1t is unmistakable proof that
the Gar personally is comfortable only
when surrounded by old Muscovitism, and
wishes to seclude himself more and more
from European civilization. The daily dis
coyeries of dynamite and plots show the
Gar that he is surrounded by network
of conspiracy and his life is in hourly dan
ger. 1t is said by those about the palace
that His Majesty, particularly at present, is
In most unhappy and morbid condition.
To add to this an undercurrent of dissatis-
faction and bitterness among certain class is
at this moment pervading the capital, ow-
ing to the latest news from Warsaw concern
ing the vigorous repressive measures that
are being exerted against the Hebrews.
During the past several days hundreds of

thus permitted to remain, the poorer classes
are mercilessly swept out. Thousands from

Norristown Asylum.
PHILADELPHIA, May 30.-Richard Cor
son, who figured as one of Mrs. Ivy Quick
Woods lovers, and whose love for her and
her subsequent rejection of him was said at
the recent examination to have driven him
insane, which resulted in his Incarceration
in the Norristown Asylum, has been re-
leased.
One of the first steps taken by young
Corson after his release was to repudiate the
charge of loving or having loved Mrs. Ivy
Quick-Wood and declare that the corre-
spondenee alluded to was conducted by him
under protest. That he never had any affeo-
tion for the lady in question and that she is
in no manner responsible for his incarcera-

The correspondence alluded to was
carried on after Ivy had quarreled with
young Wood, and that though he earnestly
protested against it she as earnestly insisted,
and hers being the stronger will she carried
the day.
