LONDON, Oct. 1.-THE fact that tho
Prince OF Wales absented himself from
tho funeral OF Lord Tennyson on Wed.
nesday, in order that he might attend
the New Market races, is provoking con-
siderable comment. His action is espe-
cially dilated upon by certain radical
journals, which appear anxious to make
n sensation similar to that occasioned
by the baccarat scandal in which the
prince was involved. Tho Prince OF
Wales, accompanied by the Duke of
Cambridge, visited New Market OH
Wednesday and saw the race for the
Czarewitch stakes. lie was made the
object Of a popular ovation when his
horse Virgil won the stand nursery
plate, handicap, OF 200 sovereigns.
This race Immediately preceded the
one for the Czarewitch stakes. His alb
sence from Westminster Abbey would
have been less remarked upon but ior
the fact that not a single royal person
age was present at the funeral, though,
as the defenders oil the royal family
strongly emphasize, they were repre-
sented by two generals and two colo.
nels, besides numerous splendid
wreaths.
The efforts being made to arouse
feeling against the prince will fall flat.
1t is generally felt that his partially
for the lighter side of national life is so
marked that TO show regret over the
death OF Lord Tennyson would be mere
hypocrisy.
Those agitating against his absence,
however, contend that his presence
was necessary, not as an expression OF
his own personal feeling, but as tho
next head OF the nation assisting at q
national event.
LAwsoN's DEFEAT.
The defeat yesterday OF Mr.. Lawson,
the Gladstonian who contested the Cir
encester division of Gloucestershire
with Colonel Master, Conservative, is
keenly ielt by the Liberals, who, though
they expected tough fight, hoped to
retain the seat. This is the first loss
the Liberals have sustained since the
general election. Following their re-
duced majorities in the By-eIections in
Leeds and Bedfordshire, it IS certain to
make q marked impression on the pub
lie, while it will stimulate the Conserva-
tives to contest every election where
there is the smallest chance for victory.
The local Liberals refuse to believe that
thea were defeated Lhey insisted
upon recount, which was made during
n scene Of ieverish excitement, enor-
nous crowds surrounding the hall.
Tho Conservatives were overjoyed
when the result was announced.
AGAINST AMERICAN CATTLE,
A movement is on foot among cattle
breeders to promote bill praviding for
the quarantining OF all foreign live stock,
except such as are intended for slaugh-
ter. The movement is chiefly directed
against admission OF American store
cattle.
A CONTINUED DEADLOCK.
The proposal made by the Parnellites
that the Paris fund be placed in the
hands OF committee Of three mem
bers from each section Of the Irish par
liamentary party, which, 1t was thought,
would be accepted by the McCarthyites
in view OF the speeches made by prom
inent members OF the section favoring
it, has fallen TO the ground, owing to
the action OF the Parnellites in insisting
that claim be admitted OF charges,
which consist OF law costs and debts OF
tho National League amounting to over
100000. The McCarthyites insist that
the claims OF the evicted tenants be the
first charge on the fund. Neither side
seems disposed to yield in this matter,
and thus the long deadlock continues.
KNILL's ELECTION.
Londoners, who oppose Mr.. KnilPs
election as Lord Mayor on the ground
that he is Catholic have decided TO
make final attempt to prevent his as
suming the office.
The anti-popery association has pre-
pared petition to the queen, praying
her to refuse to confirm the selection OF
Mr.. Knill, on the ground that he has
publicly declared that he owes first
allegiance TO the Pope, There is not
the slightest chance OF the petitions be-
ing granted and the petitioners will
probably receive well merited snub.
A woRENEN's MANIFESTO
A manifesto has been issued, calling
upon workmen out OF employment to
march in procession behind the Lord
Mayors show on November 9, and al
forwards to force q way into Trafalgar
Square, for the purpose Of holding
meeting there to give formal ex-
preston to demand for work or
bread.
coNGER or TIN PLATE.
Among the passengers on the White
Star line steamer Germanic, which
sailed from Liverpool on the 10Th inst.
for New York, we're Col. A. L Conger
and wife, OF Akron, Ohio. Colonel
ConCer, who is president OF the Amer
ican Tin Plate Company, spent fort
night in Wales examining various tin
plate plants, and no goes home con-
vinced that within two years American
will make all the tin plate that will be
required, and at less than the average
market price OF the last five years. In
an interview at Liverpool, Colone! Con-
ger said:
'If America should not produce
single ton OF pig tin it would be no dis
advantage to her, as OF tho $1,000 tons
produced in 1881. Cornwall produced
5000 tons, Australia 5000, Saxony 1900
tons and the South Sea Islands the re-
mainder. We can produce block
