due the strained relations between Chill

PERU. Ind, June 25.-The Democratic
press of the State are at present enjoying

was sent from this city q few days ago in
reference TO the two negro desperadoes who

that they were two delegates from the
Southern States In attendance at the
Minneapolis convention. and that they
were beating their way home, because the
Republican party did not live up to the
promises made them; also, that they were
friendless and alone, and were cast off
after their votes had been secured. The
Indianapolis Sentinel correspondent in this
city started the story on it's rounds on what
seemed to him reliable authority. but
which has since turned out to have been q
Joke of huge dimensions. Even the Chi

LONDON. June est Is now certain that
the coming week will witness the dissolu-
ton of Parliament Even yet the day has
not been positively set but the 2Sth or
Goth is probable. Ii either of these dates
is. selected the polling cannot take place
on the first Saturday following. for that
will be too soon. and cannot take place on
the second Saturday, for that will be too
late. Had Parliament been dissolved yes
terday, or to-day, there would have been
no difficulty In having the poll upOn q Sat
urday and giving the w~orkingmen ample
opportunity to cast their ballots. 1t is true
that the workingman has until s o'clock in
the evening to record his vote on any day
in the week, but on Saturday he also has
the afternoon. 1t is true, also. that the
returning officers can exercise their discre-
tion within q certain limit as to thee day for
polling. and some of them might not have
selected Saturday under any circumstances
Notice Is always given in the London Ga
zette of the dissolution of Parliament and
the writs for the new election are issued
from the crown office on the same day that
Parliament IS dissolved. In the case of
borough elections not less than two CON-
plete days and not more than three COM
plete days must elapse between the receipt
of the writ and the date of the nomination.
and the poll must be taken not less than
three complete days after the nomination.
Assuming dissolution takes place OH Tues
day next, this would bring tho earliest
poll on the 4th of July. In the county
elections the nomination may take place
any time up TO the ninth day after the re-
ceipt of the writ, and the election may be
postponed for six days after the nomina-
Ilon. 1t can thus be seen that the county
elections may drag along until the middle
of July.
The horrible language used by Timothy
Healy regarding the dead Parnell and the
Parnellites is chiefly responsible for the
sudden revival of luminosity between the
Irish factions. 1t Is said on excellent au-
thority that, up TO the time of Timothy
Healy's speech. in which BIO described the
Psruellites as boasts and declared that
Parnell WAS q traitor. there was q strong
possibility of reconciliation. This seems
now to be out of the question. The feeling
against Healy ia so bi:ter among the Par
pellites that his name Is greeted. whenever
mentioned in any OF their meetings, with

LONDON, June 25.-The courts of Rotter-

which is causing n panic among Dutch ed
itors. The suit was brought by q member
of the Dutch Bicyclists' Union, who wrote
q column letter to a Rotterdam newspaper
concerning the rights and wrongs of a dis
pute among Dutch w~heelmen. The editor
read half q column of the letter and then
dropped it all into the waste-basket. When
the bicyclist called for his manuscript he
learned its fate from the editor. who ex-
planned that the ne wspa per's custom was
TO return only articles. and that letters
from readers were not preserved. The BIZ
cyelist at once brought suit for $50, and he
got a Judgment for this amount. The cd
itor appealed. but the higher court decided
against him also. with the addition of
about 5000 in costs. 1t Is suggested that
the newspaper organize a boycott against
writers or letters not accredited. and re-
fuse to accept their contributions.
