kossuth Has Small Hope of the
Home-Rule Bill.
A Land That Was Conquered by

cred by Arms.
Special 70 TUE MoRNIxe CALL.

LONDON, May 1.-THE Pail Mall Ga
zette publishes an interview with the VEN
cradle Hungarian patriot, Louis Kossuth,
In regard to Irish home rule. Kossuth
SAID he wrote a memorandum wears ago
regarding Gladstone's first home-rule
scheme. The memorandum would be
found among his papers after death. He
declined to disclose at present what the
memorandum contains. "As TO Glad
stones second scheme for Irish home
rule Kossuth continues, II know very
little about it, OF the real principle under
lying it, l believe, however, that Glad
stone Will never arrive ut his goal. The
Irish question presents the same OBJ
stacles as the sQuaring Of circle. 1t Is
perfectly utopian, this wish OF Gladstone
TO establish autonomy for Ireland
without granting absolute Independence
and l should not be astouished if Ireland
should one Gay throw herself into the
arms of the Uuited States to gain what
she wants. The distances between the
countries do not count to-day as they
counted in the past. 1t has been said the
situation in Ireland is comparable to that
of Hungary. and some eminent English
men have asked my opinion in regard to
that assertion. My answer is, it is false.
Ihe Austrlans never conquered Hungary
as the English conquered Ireland. Hun
gary merely made plot with the House
Of HaDsburg for the sake of neighborly
association. Ireland, on the contrary,
was conquered by the force Of arms and
can only be delivered by the force of
arms"
Kossuth, who is 81 years old, looks fee
bic and wasted. He sometimes was con-
vulSed by fits Of coughing. but still the old
fire is in his eyes, which fash while he is
talking. he still spends some time every
day writing in behalf of Hungary.

THIS LOOKS BAD.
Why Cleveland Pardoned
Stokes.
WAS A BARGAIN MADE :?
The Restoration Was Accomplished
When the President Was SuitOr
for Tammany's Support.
WAS A BARGAIN MADE ?


New York, May l1.-There is an Inter-
esting story behind the production in court
Yesterday by Stokes, the slayer of jim
Fisk, of a pardon signed by Cleveland as
Governor of New York, dated December /,
1884, and given for the purpose Of restoring
Stokes his rights as citizen.
Stokes served three of his four years
term for marslaughter in the third degree,
one year being deducted for good
behavior, but Governors Tilden, Robertson
and Cornell had denied his application
for restoration to citizenship. and the
city was amazed when it became known
Cleveland had pardoned him. No public
ity was ever given to the pardon, and its
effective concealment leads many to think
it was the result of political bargain.
Secretary of War Lamont. who. at the
time was Cleveland's private secretary.
denies that a political bargain fur
nished the motive of Cleveland's
performance, and says, with the
indifference of one who cannot for the
life Of him see what all the bother is
about, that such acts of clemency are of
common occurrence, and that there is
nothing in this case which gives it dis
tlnetion.
fact that he was convicted of murder in
the first degree and sentenced TO be
hanged gives it distinction. The fact
that this judgment was reversed. not
on a question of weight of evidence
but on collateral technical point
dealing with the trial courts admission of
testimony as to the alleged wr0ngdong of
an unimportant witness gives its diStnc-
tion 1t is distinguished by the nOtoriously
cOld-blooded character of Stokes crime,
by the utter inadequacy of his
punishment. by his position and
record as a Tammany politician, by the
fact that the restoration writ was granted
just after the Presidential election
when Cleveland was a candidate for Presi-
dent, and suitor for Tammany support,
aud particularly by the fact that the writ
was issued only two days after Stokes
application reached Albany, proving that
there could have been no proper investi-
cation Of his appeal and arguing that the
whole thing had been fixed up" in ad-
vance.
1t was not an ordinary affair at all. If
the rehabilitation of Stokes was not the
result of bargain the chronology of the
case makes it very queer. and the fact that
Stokes is what lie is. and that Cleveland
has been exalted as his precise opposite.
makes it queerer still.
In any case it was a public wrong and
good citizens here are inceDsed. Stokes
made his application on Friday. Novem-
ber %. 1t reached Governor Cleveland
probably on November % On the follow
ing Monday tue pardon was grantsd.t

LITTLE Rock, Ark. May II. - Two

tiger, beat him severely about the face
and head and, sinking his teeth in the
mans shoulder, bit out piece of flesh

and a number of persons at the court
house hlrried TO the jail. and reduced the
lunaiics to submission and locked them up
in their cells.
