The decision on the demurrer entered by counsel for Secretary of State R. J. Walsh, in the quo warranto suit brought against him by J. J. Phelan, was render ed by Judge Hall in the Superior court in New Haven. The demurrer is over- ruled, the court holding that it has juris- diction. The case. will now go to trial on facts. Judge Hall takes the Supreme court and General Assembly to task for causing the present legislative dead lock. The former he raps severely for failing to render decision on the ques- tion of whether or not the General Assembly lost it's power of declaring the election of a governor raised in the Morris-Bulkeley case. Judge Hall says the House is adjourned, for as matters stand now it is impossible to transact business and one branch can block the other and prevent legislation as long as it sees fit.

London's Reform.

The blow that London has struck for freedom is felt in New York. With char acteristic sagacity, the 'Review of Re views for April devotes upward of D pages to asking this question: If a strong and wholesome municipal spirit can suddenly be infused throughout Greater London, with six million inhabi- tants, cannot the same spirit be infused throughout Greater New York, with three million inhabitants?" Four years ago, the outlook in London was as hope less as it is in New York to-day. "A man might have walked the streets 10 hours a day for q month, ,' says the edi- tor of the Review, ''buttonholing every we'll dressed and intelligent looking citi- zen he met, and the chances are that he would not in that time have found soli- tary person who could have explained to him how London was governed, or by what process it would be possible to find out how London was governed" There was what Cromwell would have called Ca goddess and profitless jungle" of yes tries and boards, but no one seemed to know or care what power or responsibil ity belonged to any one of them. The change began with the local government act of 1889, consolidating the great met ropoltan area and giving to it a central governing body known as the County Council. This body, as Mir Clarke set forth in the Christian Union, used what powers it had to make London decently habitable for the great mass of it's citi- zens and, this year, the progressive ele- ment within it came before the electors with program demanding larger pow CTS and promising still further social re- forms. The result was that all London became aroused. National party lines were shattered to pieces in the municipal contest and advanced Liberalism tr- umphed in the city which was regarded as the stronghold of Conservatism and reaction.-T Christian Union.

In coats, the new styles show little change, excepting in the lengthening of the skirts. The double breasted frock pattern of last year is decidedly out of style, this Spring, because the skirt is too short by an inch. The conservative length will be 3s to 39 inches to the bot tom of the skirt and 40 to fl inches for the full length. Sack coats are also trifie longer, with increased roll, not close fitting, and with side seams moder- ately curved. The straight front, sim gle breasted sack will be the favorite.- Hartford Times.

The anti-lottery or Foster wing ot the Louisiana Democrats have won return. ing board victory in the primary elect ions. By a final vote of four to three the returning board, made up of three MeEnery men, three Foster men and a chairman chosen by the full board, have thrown out the votes of enough precincts to destory McEnery's majority of TIPS and make majority of 400 or more for Foster. There was evidence of fraud and disobedience of the rules agreed on for the government of the primaries in these precincts whose vote is rejected, but the McEnery men on the board re- fused to consent to this rejection and, when the majority voted il, resigned and left the board. This means that the party is worse split than ever, and makes the election of Republican governor almost probable.

BOTH FEET ON BALFOUR

A Terrific Newspaper Onslaught by I. r.
O'Conner-A Clear Stretch for Liberal
Victory Now-Blake, the Canadian Cam
didate Arrives-BaIfour Speaks.
LONDON, July 1T P. O'Connor, in
the Sunday San of to-day, describing the
election stump, says 1t is too soon to speak
of the secret history of Mr.. Balfour's cleo
tion. He adds that he hopes Mr.. Balfour
communicates his inmost thoughts with
cynical frankness to the secret, sacred pages
of his diary. The wonder in Manchester is
that he consented to eat the bushels of dirt
he must have swallowed during the past ten
days at the Gargantuan fetes.
'Good heavens" exclaims Mr.. O'Connor,
"what high-snitting Balfour, the cambria
handkerchief type of refinement, must have
endured, unless, indeed, the strangely cyni-
cal turn of his nature, which seems to have
the same unholy delight in the brutalities
of mankind as in the torture OF mis- political
opponents, NAV have found compensation
for wallowing in human mud"
Summing up the situation, Mr.. O'Connor
saws: "The reduction of Tory majority
from 6S to 6 is not bad weeks work, and
the bulk of the Liberal strongholds are yet
to poll. 1t was q tough, fierce tussel to get
around the corner, but now we are in the
straight stretch for victory. Let the faint
hearted consider this, and remember that
but for the insane folly of the splits in our
own ranks we would have obliferatcd the
majority altogether. That that folly has
lost US seven seats should be warning for
the future.
Hon. E Blake, who was invited to come
from Canada to contest the seat for South
Longford in the anti-Parnellite interest, ar
rived at Longford to-day. Replying to the
address of welcome presented to him BY his
supporters, he said he esteemed their inyi-
tation to contest the district as the highest
honor of his life. He dilated upon the
happy working of home rule in Canada,
and he declared that if the Irish party
were united their cause would soon be
Mr.. Balfour, speaking at Darwin to-day
in support of Viscount Cranborne, quoted

fact that all great nations consisted of inGe-

had been welded together.

stone and draw it toward him, which move
ment revealed the whitened bones Of q skel-
eton, near which was what appeared to be a
piece of gray parchment on which was
scratched, as if with some sharp instrument,
in rough German characters:

A Skeleton Exposed to View.
In his excited efforts to obtain . better
view he pulled the stone away, and as the
volume of cold air rushed out the skeleton
crumbled to the earth and the dust of the
supposed parchment was scattered by the
wind on the weeds and grass outside. The
removal of the rock caused the earth above,
which had been Ioosened by the roots and
rains, to fall, and in a short time all signs
of the entrance to the chamber were obliter-
ated. The report of the finding of this
who had heard it, and who, on standing upon
the west bank of the cave hill and
looking in the direction of the residence,
observed that two other hills intervened be-
tween that and the house, and further OBJ
servation disclosed the fact that the land
scape view Of one was almost the exact
counterpart Of the others, and thus the
recurring dreams were now partly ex-
planned, for the treasure has not yet been
found.
It is suggested by some that another
chamber under the one used by Stoneman,
and connected with 1t, may be found. At
least, a late visit to the place gave evidence,
in the recent excavations about the hill
side, of the firm belief in the existence of
the treasure somewhere in that locality,
and an exploration of the have will shortly
be made in search of it
