fcllows although Great Britain is
substantially represented on the Yang
Tse-Kiang, the admiral of the fleet has
not yet appeared at Shanghai. lie has
been for several weeks cruising in the
vicinity OF Vladivostock and of Corea,
and there is little doubt that he is so
acting in accordance with instructions
from the home government
These operations practically amount
to reconnaissance, and are closely
connected with the Russian advance on
Pamir. The British admiral visited
Port Hamilton, and left three ships
there, which fact excited the Coreans.

miral intended to acquire Corea.
Russia's movements in Asia undoubtedly
changed Great Britains intention 10

seize and occupy Shanghai and Woo

DUBLIN, Dec. 22--As the time draws
near for the polling in the Waterford
elections, which will be held tomorrow,
feeling on both sides runs higher and
higher, and it will be u matter of con
graduation, not to say surprise, il some
body is not hurt before HE polls arc
closed. Several prominent members Of
both factions Of the Irish Parliamentary
party ARE in Waterford working cnergct-
i'@lly IN the interest of their candidates,
and among them Is Michael O'Brien

Timothy llcaly in Cork in March last.
To-day Dalton me, Mr., David Shelby,

would fail upon Mr. Sheeliy They
threatened him With all manner Of
bodily harm, and undoubtedly would
have carried their threats into execution
had i not been for the police, who were
attracted 10 the scene by the noise Of
the trarrcl. They rescued Mr. Shechy
from hli perlous position and escorted
him Il place Of safety. The McCar-
thyiles are congratulating themselves
that Mr.. Shcehy was SO fortunate as to
get away from tile Parncllite >crowd
without being hurt.
Mr.. James G, Flynn, NJ. T., for The
Northern division Of Cork county, and
Mr.. Thomas J Condor, NJ. p. fe'r East

with q mob Of the parncllites. They
were quietly passing along when they
were set upon by the rabhle. They
finally got away from their assaiants
and took refuge in the room of the Nc
Cartliyite election committee. The mob
pursued Tie two niemhersof parliament
to the very doors, hooting, yelling, ours

sILpER COINAGE.
All the Old Trade Dollars Have Been
Converted Into silver DoiInrs


WAsHINGToN, Dec. s2.-The CONVEX
sion of tradedollar bullion into standard
silver dollars was completed to-day.
The coinage Of standard silver dollars il
therefore at an end unless a change shall
be made in the policy nf the treasury
department through Congressional en-
actment or otherwise.
The coinage Of 100000 ounces Of
silver, or g., 5S5, 900 a month under the
act Of July 14th, 1890, ceased on the first
Of July last, and the coinage Of standard
dollars since that date has been confined
to the trade dollar bullion in the trea-
sury.
This latter coinage was authorized by
the act of March Sd, 1891, which re-
qnired the Secretary Of the Treasury 10
coin the trade dollar bullion into silver
dollars as soon as practicable. The total
amount Of this bullion on hand July LIST
was 4,365,63l ounces, costing 5000, 261,
and the entire amount has been coined
into silver dollars.
Mr.. Leach, director of the mint. said
this afternoon that while he was NOT
authorized to speak Of the future silver
policy of the department he thought
there is scarcely any doubt that The
coinage OF standard silver dollars will
be continued at the San Francisco and
Carson City minis in amounts sufficient
TO meet the necessities of the service. He
estimated this at 100000 month for
each mint

LITTLE Rock, ARK, Dec OLA special
to the Gazette from Dewitt, Ark, says :
This morning Mt o'clock n body of
masked men entered the Jail at this place
and shot to death ]. NJ Smith, Floyd
Gregory and Mose Henderson, who were
confined therein.
The crime for which these mon paid the
penalty with their lives originated In a
divorce proceeding by Mrs Mary j. Smith
the unfortunate victims of this mornings
tragedy. The suit was fought vigorously
by both parties, but Mrs. Smith was
granted divorce and given a Judgment
for one.third Of the husbands property.
On the night Of the 9th instant Nose
Henderson, who is colored man, went to
tho house of Mrs. Smith and shot her with
a load of buckshot, shooting OIL tho fingers
and thumb Of her right hand, the load
passing through her shoulder into the wall
of the dwelling. The negro was recognized
and captured and made confession, in
which he stated that he was TO receive
from Smith the sum of Sl75 in money, 80
acres Of land, four head of cattle and II
horse for committing the crime.
Smith and his son-in-law, Gregory, were
arrested and preliminary trial was had
before Squire Joseph Sacrider, and the
bonds of Smith and the negro were placed
at $50, 900 each, and that of Gregory, who,
with Smith, pilotcd the negro to the house
of Mrs. Smith, where the shooting was

LOYDON,S FAVORITE DISH.
Another Scandal Among the Blue Blood
Aristocracy.

ArfstOcfacys
LONDON, Dec 2l--The world of society
is threatened with new divorce case the
petitions for which were filed on Friday
and Saturday. which will completely
eclipse in its startling revelations the
famous trial in which the Earl and Count
css Russell so recently figured. The family
which is to receive this ',bold advertise
ment" is that of Baron Howard deWalden,
which boasts of the bluest blood in the
country and goes so far as to claim that
the stream flowing in the veins of royalty
itself is but puddle compared with that
of theirs.
For some few weeks scandal has been
busy, engaged with the names of certain
members OF the family, but it remains for
the Times to be the first to announce that
the scandal has developed into fact and
that cross petitions for divorce have been
filed by Baron Howard de Walden against
his wife and by Lady Howard de Walden
against her husband, each party charging
the other with offences of revolving
nature
The first petition, which was filed on
Friday, is that OF Lady de Walden. Her
ladyship prays for judicial separation
from her husband, whom she charges with
over 20 offences, among them being that
he walked about the room and exposed
himself at the windows of their house in
the very scantiest possible costume, and
that he forced himself into her bedroom
on one occasion when he was quite drunk
and stripped all the clothing from the bed
and forced her to remain without any pro.
lection from the cold for the rest of the
night. She further alleges that he was
guilty of systematic cruelty toward her,
as well as that he was continually drunk.

bis wife was filed on Saturday. lie asks

suited to a selfish, sordid people, and that
IN their hands it is not safe.
This is time when there is pressing
need for tho earnest enforcement of these
truths; and occasions like this cannot be
better improved than by leading Us to such
self,examination and self-correction as
Shall fit us to illustrate and teach the les
sons of true Americanism. When we here
recall the landing Of the Pilgrims, let us
remember that they not only sought
Freedom to worship God" but they also
sought to establish the freedom and liberty
OF manhood. When we dwell upon their
stern and sturdy traits, let lis remember
that these nurtured the spirit which
achieved American independence, and that
~ such soil alone can its fruits ripen to
bless our people. When we contemplate
how completely conscience guided their
lives and conduct, let us resolve that con.
science shall find place in every phase of
our citizenship; and when we learn of
their solicittlde and care for their new
found home, let us acknowledge that un-
selfish love of country can alone show us
the path of political duty.
With such preparation as this-leaving
no place for the ignoble thought that our
government can, without peryersion, hold
out unequal rewards and encourage selfish
designs--we shall teach that this heritage
OF ours has beer confided from generation
to generation to the patriotic keeping and
loving care of true Americanism and that
this lone can preserve it to shelter free
and happy people--protecting all, defend
ing all and blessing all.

ROBERT sDGlR ARREsrED.


Robert Edgar of No. 1888 French
street, was arrested last night on a
capias issued by Prothonotary Peter A.
Horty to Sheriff Simmons. Edgar is
sued in civil case for $4,000 damages,
claimed by young woman whose
guardian, Jules Rieard, til understood,
has moved in the matter Edgar could
not furnish sufficient bail and he was
taken to New Castle Jail last night.
Edgar is the same party who figured
recently on the charges of pceulation
made against him by the proprietor Of
the Arlington mills, where he held an
important position. Edgar also was
before Squire Smith on March "a, 1887,
when somewhat similar charges as those
pending under last nights arrest were
made against him. But, the record
stands that the case was amicably set
tied and dismissed. The young woman
who is plaintiff in the present case is the
same as the one who brought the
charges in 1887.
