to be a local ofshoot of the notorious Camorra,
where 179 in number, and were defended by
80 advocates. Several hundreds of witnesses
were called in the course of the proceedings,
and the whole affair was on so extensive a
scale that a large temporary court house had
to be especially erected for the purpose of the
trial. After hearing the counsel for the de-
fence at great length, the court found all the
prisoners, except IA, guilty, and sentenced
them to terms Of imprisonment ranging from
Is years down to six months.
It is unfortunate that, just when the long
and troublesome negotiations with Portugal
seem on the point of reaching a satisfactory
termination, news should arrive of another
collision between the British South Africa
Company and the Portuguese officials. There
appears to have been two almost simultaneous
collisions, resulting in exactly the same num-
Der Of Portuguese casualties in each case. One
account represents a body of Englishmen
under Major Johnston endeavouring to reach
Mashonaland by way of the Pungw6 river
and attacked by the Portuguese en- route. The
other describes a force of 200 Portuguese and
500 natives as having marched upon MASH
Kesse on May II, found it evacuted by the
officers Of the British South Africa Company
left there to guard the stores, and thereupon
proceeded to penetrate British territory in the
direction of Fort Salisbury. They were met
by a body of police, so strong, and defeated,
with the loss of seven men killed. This Is
a tolerably circumstantial account, and comes
to us by way of Cape Town. But, though
the other story is less precise, both as to date
and place, it agrees well with what is known
of the intentions of the British South Africa
Company. Sir John Willoughby's expedition
up the Pungw6, which was unjustifably
stopped by the Portuguese authorities on the
spot, is understood to have been merely the
pioneer or advance guard of a much larger
body of immigrants into M%ashonaland. The
main body, following a route which the Por-
tuguese Government admits to be legitimate,
is now on its way under Major Johnston, and
there is nothing improbable in the SUPPOSE
ton that the Portuguese officials have given
another proof of their disregard of the policy
and instructions of their Government

The strike of the omnibus drivers in Paris
has given that City an unusual aspect.
The streets appear empty and silent, and
with the absence of the omnibuses the
transaction Of all branches of business
seems to be retarded. Hitherto, however,
there has been no breach of the peace, and
it is not likely that there will be any trOu-
BILE OF the sort, although the strikers now
number some 5000 drivers. The increase
demanded by the men does not appear to
be in itself, to tell the truth, exOrbitant
Just as one will read lily admit that the days
of rest that they dem and are quite due to
men who work so hard for II hours a..day but
when one remembers that these holidays
and this increase are to be multiplied by
thousands, at he expense Of the company,
one understands why it hesifates. The best
part of it's profits, ifnot, indeed, the whole,
is at stake.

Paris, "a May.

Hardly has the excitement produced by
NJ. Gerville- Reaches revelations respecting
the foreign cannon and the smOkelesS pOw-
der died away when a new sensation is
created by The denunciations Of NJ. Turpin,
the inventor of m%eIinite, who, not content
with writing II book entitled Comment on
a vendu la m6linite," in which he accuses
M. T ipone, an artillery captain in the Ter
%ritOrial Army, Of having supplied Arm
strOng'S eStabliShment-Of which he is DIES
cribpd aS an agent-with the explosive, has
also addressed q formal complaint to this
effect to the members of the Senate, the
Chamber, and the Paris Municipal Council.
In his work NJ. Turpin dwelt at indlScTeet
length on the manner in which his metinite
was fabricated, and the result of his impru-
dence is that both he and NJ. TripOne were
arrested yesterday on the strength OF the
Law of 1886 on Espionage, which visits
with fines and imprisonment persons who
may have divulged secret information con-
nected with the defence or the security of
the States. How far all these charges are
justified will be aScertained when the in
Quiry which has been set on foot is c0mplet-
ed, but in the meantime the affair has pro-
duced no little excitement, and is the sub
iect of general conversation. M. Tripone
was formerly in rather close relations with
M. Turpin. On behalf Of the latter he is
said to rave entered into negotiations with
Armstrong; house about three years ago,
for the sale Of the secret of the manufac-
ture of m~elimite. The affair leaked out, and
NJ. Turpin is alleged to have remarked that
he had made some experiments in England;
that his invention was his own property;
and that he intended to dispose of it as he
pleased, his offers having been rejected by
the French War Office. Tn the following
year he sent a letter to the Public Prosecu-
tor. in hich he averred that when he was
on the point of concluding an arrangement
with Armstrong; establishment, he ascer-
tanned that M. Tripone had already furn.
ished it with a number of important papers
taken or copied from the War Office, and
therefore decided on breaking off all nego-
tiations with that firm. No notice having
been taken of this denunciation, M. TurpiB,
decided on writing his book and OH penning

1t appears from the return of the Regis
trar.General that the deaths in London
during the week ending May 16 primarily
attributed to influenza, which had been
10, 81, and 148 in the preceding three
weeks, further rose to 2c6, being more than
double the highest number in any week
of last year. In additions to these 2d6
deaths, there were 81 cases in which infu-
enza was certified to have occurred in the
course of other diseases. The deaths re-
terred to diseases ofthe respiratory organs,
which in the preceding three weeks had
been All, 58S, and 584, exceeding the cor
rected averages by SO, 2l9, and $40, were
612 last week, and 295 in excess of the
corrected average; 346 deaths were attli-
buted to bronchitis and 207 to pneumo-
MIA, against corrected averages OF 173 and
100.

The illness of Mr.. Blaine continues to
attract great attention in political circles
throughout the United States, and the
opinion is becoming prevalent that the
Secretary of State is not so i'll as has been
suggested, and that political reasons I'M
derlie his absence from Washington at
the present time. Mr.. Blaine'S family
physician and the members of his family
have repeatedly declared that Mr.. Blaine's
illness is very slight. At first his trouble
was dyspepsia, and now it is govt; but
the truth probably is that Mr.. Blaine,
having acquired considerable reputation
through his conduct Of the Italian and
Behring Sea controversies, is DESTROYS of
leaving the matter now in the hands Of
President Harrison. 1t is agreed on every
hand that the state Department will have
considerable difficulty in dealing with the
statement of the grand jury in New Or
leans and the report of the Attorney-Gen-
eral.
The Irish National League, which met on
May 10, resolved that it respected Mr.. Justin
Mccarthy very much that Mr.. Parnell had
proved himself "morally and politically un-
fit" to lead the moral and political party
which used to Aatter him and that "the
melancholy story of his fall is q convincing
proof Of the folly and danger of one-man rule
and undemocratic methods" 1t is uncertain
how many followers Mr.. Mccarthy will have
in the next Parliament; but it is clear he will
have plenty of leaders.
The Mala Vita trial at Bari, in Italy, which

The birth of a daughter to the Duke and
Duchess Of Fife is an event of real interest to
every subject of the Queen. The marriage Of
the eldest daughter of the Prince of Wales to an
English Peer was highly pleasing to British
sentiment, and everybody will hail the arrival
of q descendant Of the Queen who is English
on both sides of the house. The event, too, is
not without substantial Importance, since the
Duchess of Fife at present stands very near
the throne, and large families have a striking
tendency to become reduced, as was remarka-
bly, proved in the immediate p~osterity of
George III. The Duke of Clarence and Avon
dale and Prince George of Wales being still
unmarried, the little lady who was born at East
Sheen on Whit Sunday is at present, after
them and the Duchess of Fife, the nearest
heir to the British Crown.
