New Hampshire Republicans Adopt the
One That "the Foreigner Rays the rax."
The New Hampshire repub lican state
convention distinguished itself bY in
sorting In It's platform tire old high
tariff chestnut: The foreigner paws
the tax" After some stereotvned
abuse of the Democracy for '.three
years OF disappointment, privntion and
distress, the Granite state republicans
demanded the speedy repeal of the
democratic tariff and the substitution
thereof OF one based upon the prnci-
pies of the Mckinley act, for the pro-
eurement OF national revenues as far
ms possible from foreigners who mar
ket their merchandise in competition
with our productions.

WHY MRS. CASTLE PLEADED GUILTY.
THEN PROVED THAT HER rIIND
WAS AFFECTED.
One of Her Counsel, Bernard Abrams.
Explains Why Such Course
Was Pursued.

LONDON, Nov. 12.-Bernard Abrams,
counsel for defense in the case of Mrs
Walter NJ. Castle, has sent to the offices
of the United Associated Presses the
following communication:
1T would appear from summary Of
the opinions of the American press,
published in yesterday afternoons pa
per, that surprise is felt that Mrs. Cas-
tie, in view of the medical opinion
should have been instructed to plead
guilty. The present state of English
law in regard to insane prisoners has
teen overlooked. Sir Edward Clarke
stated in court that if the law of Eng
land stood as it did in 1888 he would
have advised his client to plead not
guilty, and would have contested the
case, so as to show to the jury that she
was not responsible for what she did in
consequence of her mental state. She
would have been, therefore, entitled to
verdict of not guilty in view Of the
absence of felonious intent, which the
English law regards as essential.
AN Act was passed in 1883 relating
to the trial of lunaticS, providing that
a jury shall return a verdict that the
accused was guilty at the time of COM
mitting the act of which he was ac-
cused, though insane. Thereupon the
court must record a verdict and order
the accused to be imprisoned during her
majesty's pleasure.
I'm view of the extraordinary and in
human state of the law, Mrs. Castles
advisers decided to enter the plea of
pui1ty English legal CIRCLES a oprro,yo +lo
course taken.'
Mr.. and Mrs. Castle hope to sail from
Southampton on Saturday, but if pur-
sued by curiosity seekers will sail from
France under assumed names.

ARCHBISHOP IRELAND.
Not Believed That He Will be Re-
moved From the st. Paul See.

ROME, Nov. 12.-There is reason to
believe that the rumOrs of the removal
of Archbishop Ireland of st. Paul are
unfounded, although the Archbishop
has fallen into disgrace at the Vatican.
The case of the deposition of an Arch
bishop or a Bishop is one of extreme
rarity, only one of the kind having oc-
CURED during the eighteen years of the
papacy of Leo XIII, and in this in
stance only when the prelate had be-
come almost a maniac.
The Vatican has received the pro-
pcsal of three names for the rectorship
of the Catholic University in Washing
ton to succeed Bishop Keane. All of
the candidates are judged to be worthy
of the position, and the choice will con-
SeouentIY be difficult.

CLAIM WALK rs A NUISANCE.
A rather unusual case heard In the

against Louis Sherry of Narragansett

that Mr.. Sherry had built public nuis-
ance over q public highway at the pier;
the nuisance consisted of plank walk a
couple of inches over highway of the
Narragansett district that lead to the
beach. The Walk, it was stated, pre-
vented the use OF the highway by the
public.
The State was represented by Clarence
A. AIdrich and Frederick G. Olney.
The latter stated that steps were taken
in a legal manner to abandon this hign-
way, on conoit OF Mr.. Sherry's build
ing another road In its stead, but Mr..
Sherry had never carried out his side OF
the bargain. The walk it was also stated,
led to Mr.. Sherry's pavilion.
Mr.. Crafts urged that the highway
over which the walk was built had been
abandoned, and that but few people used

Mr.. Aldrich produced affidavits from
some prominent persons at the pier, in

travellers over it. The afiidavits appeared

The two latter counsel made brief
arguments, aud Judge Tillinghast took
the papers and gave counsel for Mr..
Sherry until Tuesday to answer the
