LONDON. Aug. 5-The conferences be-
tween the Irish leaders aud Gladstone have
resulted in such degree of mutual con-
fdence as promises greatly to expedite the
advent of home rule in Ireland. The ac-
ceptance by John Morley of the Chief Sec
retaryship for Ireland was the point upon
which the chiefs Of the McCarthyite faction
laid considerable stress.
John Dillon to-day expressed the satsfac-
ton of the Irish party at Morley's appoint
ment- he would say nothing about Glad
stones home-rule bill. except that it was
likely to be one that Parnell would have ac-
cepted, adding that they would take moth
ing less; that ITeland's representation must
be as full as now. 1t is expected bill will
be introduced as soon as the House reas-
sembles In January, or early in February

character of being of pugnaelous nature.
The serious position of affairs in Afghan

The mission is to be accompanied by po-
ntical agent, and the main object is to ar
range plans 10 strengthen the Ameer against
Internal feuds and Russian advances. The
Ameer wants money and new arms. Prl-
Vate Simla advces indicate that grave mill

man, have been making extremely interest
ing experiments with the cholera bacilli.
They cultivated these in the LIQUID ex-
tracted from the mammsry glands Of calves
and this liquid was injected into guinea
pigs, one Injection each day. After four in
jections the pigs thus treated were found
absolutely proof against c0ntagion from the
cholera bacilli. whereas bacilli of the dis
ease upon being introduced into the sys-
tens CT animals not inOculated invariably
killed them in about fifteen hours. The
experiment is not yet concluded and will
be continued till the absolute truth Of the
theory is established.

The Ashland Mystery Explained by the
Finding Of Hart's Body.


Finding Of Hart's Body.
ASHLAND, Or, Aug. 5.-The body of
William Hart was found this evening at
1880 o'clock on secluded bypath through
dense growth of young pines on Ropers
Butte. less than half mile from the center
of town. Forty or 90 men had beer search
ing all day without avail, when Marshal
Smith and Dave King ran across the re-
remains as above stated just before dark
this evening
The body was lying in cramped posi-
ton. face downward. and the position in
dlcated that he had sat on rise above the
path meditating the taking of some strong
poison and had fallen directly over in the
path. The circumstances point beyond dis
pute now that Hart committed suicide on
account OF financial trouble. Reports say
that with his brother III San Francisco he
speculated in wheat and lost all he had and
being naturally ofa proud disposition and
accustomed to plenty his dignity preferred
death to poverty.
His tragic death has created geatr excite
ment here where he was greatly liked
His brother from San Francisco is on the
train en- route to Ashland, but does not
know yet of the finding of the body. The
coroner has been sent for, but all inquest
cannot be held until tomorrow.
