Taylor Found Guilty.

LONDON, May 2i.-The jury has re-
turned verdict OF guilty in the case of
Alfred Taylor. Sentence was postponed.
The fashionable afternoon promenade
in Piccadilly was filed with aristocratic
spectators to-day, when the marquis of
Queensberry met his son, Lord Alfred
Douglass, near the corner OF Bond
street. a few words were passed be-
tween them. and then there was o brief
but very determined conflict. The
police Immediately separated the COM
batants and took them to the police
station. Lord Alfred's countenance was
dis6gured with black eye. Neither
the father nor the son preferred charge
against the other. SO they were merely
charged with disorderly conduct. They
will be arraigned in the Marlborough
street conrt tomorrow. On leaving the
police station, Lord Alfred Douglass
walked quickly to Regent street and
took refuge in the friendly shelter of
cab.

PERU AND THE UNITED STATES.
The Arrival of the Monterey Gives Grea
Satisfaction.

The Arrival of the Monterey Gives Great
Satisfaction.
LIMA, Peru, via Galveston, Texas. May
21.-The arrival of the United States
coast defense ship, the Monterey, at
Callao, was welcomed here with great
enthusiasm. This feeling is manifested
in Lima at every evidence of friendship
which the Government st Washington
extends to Peru. The Monterey is to
stay at Callao until after thh presIa
dental election in Peru, which ia to oc-
cur on the first Sunday in June, and If
there are any outbreaks, consequent
upon the election, she will assiot in
preserving order.
The citizens OF Lima express the
feeling that If the Monterey had been
in Peru during the recent revolution,
when the revolutionists took possession
OF the city and fought in the streets,
plundering many dwellings and leaving
the dead unburied in the streets for
dsya. her presence would have pre-.
vented the appalling slaughter which
paralyzed the forces of the government
and pslsied American interests and all
commerce.
The election on the first Sunday in
June, which date Is now first fixed, is
to choose stable constitutional govern
ment to take the place of the provis-
ional government, chosen through tho
intervention of the Papal Nuncto after
the success of revolutionis.s. Already
since the time of the election has boon
fixed and indications arc offered of a
return to stable and permanent gov.
eminent American interests show signs
of reTiving.

Italians Returning from Pooahontss.

Two cars. containing about 200
Italian laborers, passed through the
city yesterday, attached to train No. 4,
en- route to New York from the Poca-
hontas coal fields. These laborers were
taken TO Pocahontas several days ago to
work in the mines of the Sou thwess
Virginia Company, but for some reason
they refused to work. Some of the
Italians stated that the men were stone.
cutters, and were under the impression
they would be given that kind Of work
until they arrived at the mines, while
others made no such statement, but said
the wages were too low. 1t is probable
that outside influences were brought to
bear on them,

THE CANDIDATES FOR COUNCIL.

Their Names and Their Political Amlia-
tions.
The candidates for City Council, two
OF whom will be elected from each OF
the five wards at the election, to-mor-
row. and their political affiliations are
>as follows:
\ First ward-H. D. Guy and Chas. D.
Nox, Democrats.
lSecond ward-John Archie Wilson
ahd James r. Terry, Democrat, and r.
Il. Angel, Republican.
Il Third ward-W. n. Russell, Demo-
crat; and j. e. Boehm and j. P. Haw-
kins, Republicans.
Fourth wsrd-Wm. B. Stevenson and
A. w. Lescure, Democrats; and FL. G.
Starkey and t. c. Greenwood, Republi-
cans.
Fifth ward-E. L. Slaughter and w.
R. Coulbourne, Democrats, and Michael
Crowley and Thomas Oney, Repnblic
cans. -
From the Third ward, on the last
day allowed by law Steve Arlington and
Monroe Allen, both colored, notified
the clerk of their purpose to be can
didates for Council, but on the next day
they personally requested the clerk to
withdraw their names. The clerk re
ported these facts to the electoral board
and it is not known what view that
body took OF the question. 1t is claimed
by some parties that the limit in which
candidate had right, under the
Walton law, to withdraw had expired,
and to make the election legal one
those two names must be printed on
tho ballot, while other men state that
candidate may withdraw from the race
at any time before the ballots are
printed. It seems to be question
involving some fine legal teohnicalities
and probably the end is not yet.

A Disputed Question.

Scientists and electricians cannot agree
upon the number of electric volts which
are necessary to cause a cessation of
life in the human body; some claim that
an excessive shock is more likely to cause
incarceration rather than instantaneous
death, but if they would turn their at
tention to prolonging and increasing the
pleasure of life, the public would hail the
result with more satisfaction. For in
stance, the elect richly generated in a wave
of laughter is after all the most pleasant
shock and to see large assemblage
moved by current of uncomfortable
mirth while witnessing the play of "She
Couldn't Marry Three" places beyond
dispute the fact that large volts of
laughter are better than volts of electricity
any day.
