ment Between the United States,
France and Great Britain.

A late London despatch says: "The
next issue of the National Review will
contain an article announcing most i'm
portant bimetallc development at the
hands of the United States monetary com
mission, consisting of Senator Edward o..
Wocott of Colorado, former Vice Presi-
dent Adlai +. Stevenson of Illinois and
General Charles jackson Paine Of Massa-

France and the United States declaring
their Desire to terminate the disastrous
experiments inaugurated in 1873, and
claiming our good will and active concur
renee"
The National Review adds: 1--WE are
able to announce that England's reply will
be that the government is willing to reopen
the Indian mints, to make further, sub
stantial contribution to the rehabilitation
of silver by extending its use in England
by increasing the legal tender of silver,
making silver the basis of notes, empow-
ering the Bank of England to use its sill
yer reserve, and that material assistance
and strong moral support will be given to
the object the United States and France

The present outlook is that the House
will get the tariff bill back from the Senate
early next week at the latest, and public
interest now centres on what the con-
ference bill will do. All Republican repre-
sentatives have been notified to be in their
places by next Monday. Speaker Reed is
expected to refuse to allow protracted de-
bate over the Senate amendments. He
thinks, it is said, that one day should be
sufficient for the House to disagree and
ask for a conference with the Senate. The
work OF the conference is expected to occupy
a week, July l. is the date now guessed
at for the new law to 90 into effect. May
it be good law, and then may we have a
long rest from the whole business OF tariff
tinkering.

A Mysterious New York Murder.

The New York detectives have been
confronted this week with one of the most
mysterious murder cases the metropolis
has ever known. The lower part OF the
trunk OF a man was found by two boys in
the woods at 10th street and Underclitfe
avenue in New FORK Sunday. 1t was ter
ribly mutilated and showed plainly that a
murder had been committed. 1t was wrap
ped in oil-Cloth and MANILA paper exactly
as was the upper part of trunk found in
the East river OFF llth street SATURDAY.
The two are parts of the same body. The
two pieces were found more than eight
miles apart, one in the water, the other on
land. The part found Sunday comprised
the lower part of the trunk from the fifth
rib to the hips, the legs having been sew
cred from the body at the hip joints. 1t
was wrapped in three folds of paper and
two of oil-cloth, which was evidently cut
from the same piece which inclosed the
upper part of the trunk
The body had evidently been horribly
mutiated with expectation of preventing
Identification. Physicians were of the
opinion that the murder had been commit
ed about SO hours before the body was
found. The body was identified Wednesday
as that of Wm. Guldensuppe, rubber
DOWN in the Murray Hill baths.
Herman Mack, the husband of the
woman with whom Guldensuppe had been
living, was arrested Wednesday. He at
tempted to escape from two reporters by
driving away in a bakers cart, but was
caught by policeman. Mrs. Mack is also
under arrest. The oil-cloth wound around
the body was bought last week in Astoria,
L. l., but the woman who sold it is not
positive that Mrs. Mack was the purchaser,
The legs of the missing body were found
in package in the Brooklyn navy yard
Wednesday.

1t is definitely settled, apparently, that
the question of Hawaiian annexation and
of interference in the Cuban situation will
60 over to the regular session of Congress.
This is WELL Vermont Senators and Rep

home that active sentiment in favor of the
annexation of Hawaii is a quantity which
does not exist in Vermont.

BISHOP COADJUTOR.
WILL REV. ". M. BROWN BE
 CONsECRATED.
Information Comes From Cleveland, O., That Leading Arkansas Churohmen are Attempting to Prevent the Con-
 secrati0n.

CLEVELAND, O., Dec, 25.-A faetional fight has broken out tn the Protestant Episcopal church, diocese of Arkansas, ov2r the recent election of @ bishop coadiutor. Arehdeaeon William Montgomery Brown, of the Ohio diocese, was elected and accepted the office. It now seems that the leading church men of Arkansas have split in two parties and one of them is attempt ing to prevent the consecration of the bishop eoadiutor. He cannot be consecrated without the consent of the majority of the bishops and diocesan committees of the country and one faction has sent to them notice that a protest against con- senting to the consecration is being prepared, charging that the election is illegal because of unfair methods and manipulations practiced by the party that succeeded. No such charge is made against Archdeacon Brown personally, as he did not seek the honor that has been tender ed him.

are not to be seriously considered. They are simply the mad rawlings of an alcoholic mind. The same may be said of that against Wilfred Carieo for false swearing. Everybody who knows that distinguished member of the local bar scorns the idea Of such a charge, and Rowe, in pro curing his alleged indictment, has added to the weight of contempt in which he is held.
 "It is certainly time for the court to assert it's dignity and take some notice of the way things are being carried on under it's very nose. It must know enough to warrant ae- tion unless it is afflicted with an ob- tuseness which nobody would for an instant credit. Judge Owen is learned in law. He is upright in all his dealings and faithful in the con duet of his office. It must be that his great kindness of heart has pre- vented him from doing something heretofore. But it is mistaken kindness. It is doing an injustice to himself, to the dignity of the court and to the State.
 
 Surely Jake Rowe cannot go much further in his mad career.
