Old ChurOhea.

Canon Routledge, in little volume that
has just been published in London, claims
that st. Martins, Canterbury, is the Oldest
church in Europe. He asserts that it is the
only existing edifce which WAS built origi-
nally as a church during the first four CEN
turies and has remained a church until the
present day. The canon has discovered
many interesting facts in connection with
the history of this ancient relic, and has
unearthed variety of Roman remains in
its neighborhood. st. Martins has rival
in st. Mary-in the Castle, Dover. which
Canon Puckle believes to have been erected
by British workmen in the fourth century;
but in the days of Queen Anne and for q
century and a half afterward it was used as
garrison fuel depot and was absolutely
buried under stores of coal.

BUTTE, Aug. Especial. THE state
finished its case against the defendants this
morning in the Penrose murder case. Phil
Levy was tho only remaining witness. He
said that one day when the Mining journal
contained roast ON Hickey, the latter said
to him, in reference to Penrose, 'Never
mind; his time Is going to be short" The
defense then opened its case. Mr.. Camp
bell said he had intended to ask for the dis
charge of the prisoners on the ground that
the state had made no case, but his clients
had insisted on free defense being pre-
sented in order to set them right before the
public. He said that the defense would i'm
peach A. L. Allen, Dan O.Donnell, Mrs.
Hennessy, Officer Waters, Ed Rodda and
Foy by witnesses above reproach and would
bring to light the most damnable conspiracy
of detectives ever brought into a courtroom.
Prof. N. G. Frank, professor in
elocution at Portland, Ore, was the first
the time of the murder he was in Butte
teaching elocution at the business college.
On the evening of June 8, after his class.
he walked up Main street with one Of his
pupils; then went back and west on West
Park street to the southeast corner of Park
and Montana streets. There they stopped
and talked Eor few minutes about the
beauties of elocution. While there man
came up and asked if he was policeman
mo. l am not a policeman, thank God,''
the witness replied. The policeman gave
the conversation just as Allen had given it,
and Allen was brought before him. Hi
identified Allen As the IN an who had spoken
to him that night. The witness was conf
dent that this took place at the southeas,
corner of Montana and Park street. in
stead of the northeast corner of Montana
and Galena streets. The witness said ht
had no beard on that night.
The only other witness to-day was j. l.
Davis, a pupil at the school. His story wal
corroborative of the professors. He talked
with the professor at that cornerand related
the conversation. A. Il. Allen was brought
in and was identified by this witness also
Soon after the man went away the two sep
arated, the professor going east on Parl
! street and the witness south on Montana
street, to his home on South Washington
street. He thought it was about five or ter
minutes before 12 O'Clock. He passed the
corner where Psnrose was shot few min
utes later, but saw no men standing around
there and heard no pistol shot.

They Multiply and Perplex the Politi-
cians-India Disturbed.
Copyright. 1891, New York Associated Press.
LONDON, Aug. 2s.--The liberal electoral
executive committee hardly know how to
treat the extraordinary crop of labor candi-
dates finding acceptance in radical con-
stituencies. The length of the list of names
already adopted threatens to give new char
actor to the general election. Men selected
in tie labor interest chiefly represent trades
unions, though the number are also identi-
fed with socialism. If the movement sue
ceeds it will place in the next parliament a
compact phalanx of thirty labor members
determined to make questions in labor
interests dominant over all Others after
home rule is settled. Attempts to draw III 4
Gladstone to pronounce i'll favor of several
of these labor candidates were met with
the following response. especially referring
to an agricultural laborer: "You may rest
assured the liberals, who, in the toeth of
the house of lords, procured franchise for
the laborer, did not thus arm him for moth
ing. They hofe to do him full justice,
bringing local government to his door and
securing him freer access to the use OF
land" Liberals and conservatives alike
interpret this reply as promising the erea-
tion of parish councils on popular basis,
thus stopping the domination of local land
lords and other persons. This change
would effect an immense practical reform
in English rural life.
A number of exceptional meetings of the
India council have been held lately, due to

the country is in dangerous
state of ebullition. Many large cities are
ready to bust into sedition and will be
difficult to control. Tho disaffected have
lost that wholesome respect for British
nuthorstr, which was sufficient for three
decades to keep peace, so that deliberate
attempts to foment open sedition may
readily succeed. The prospect is altogether
gloomy. According to a high official in the
Indian office the government is aware of the
tendencies to disorders in the great cities
but is satisfied with the general position.
