Two drunken squaws were a sorry
spectacle on the streets last evening.
Every effort should be made by the
officers to find out who sold or gave
them the liquor. 1t seems almost i'm
possible to stop the traffic, but never
theless 1t should be done for decency
and morality, and to guard against
such murders as have recently oc-
Cured in this state from this cause.

Will the Queen Abdicate I

The statement Of Vienna news
paper, says the Philadelphia Times,
that Queen Victoria declared she
would rather abdlcate than consent
to war with the Beers, may be utterly
devoid Of foundation or strictly true.
There can be no doubt that, ordinar-
lily, her Majesty would wish to end
her days on the throne. Her reign
has been the longest, as it has proba-
bly, been the most glorious, in the
history of England, and although age
has brought to her its iufifmities and
its natural dstaste for the pomp and
pagesntfy so gratifying in earlier
life, she has never, that the world
Knows, expressed a wish to curtail 1t.
But Victoria is a woman, and she
naturally abhors the idea that the
closing days of her reign should be
associated in history with an unnec.
esssry war. Born few years after
the sllled armies of Europe had swept
the !, gions Of the First Napoleon
from the field of Waterloo, she has
seen, as it were, thousands upon
thousands Of lives sacrificed to the
demon Of war. She saw the terrible
reign of the Red Republicans in
France, after Louis Philippe of Or
leans had fed from the throne of his
ancestors, saw her British subjects
massacred by Sepoys during the To-
dian mutiny, and saw all the horrors
of Inkermau, Balaklava and Sebss'
tOpol. She saw the terrible interne-
cine cor fl ct in the United States, the
war between Prussia and Denmark
Prussia AID Austris, the campaigns
of Garibsldi, the Franco. German war
aud host Of other sanguinsry con-
fl cts. la these circumstances it is
not to be wondered at that her wo.
mans heart should stand appalled, at
the prospect of another war.
That the Queen of England has
done everything possible to prevent
hostllties in the Transvaal may be
taken for granted, and it may be that
the apparent hesitancy of Lord Sails
bury to take extreme measures is due
entirely to her restraining influence.
1t is no secret that her appeal to the
Car Alexander prevented German
invasion of France few years after
Sedan, and it may be that efforts TO
maintain peace now will be equally
successful AT all events, there is
nothing strange in the statement OF
the Vienna newspaper that she pre-
fers abdication to war, and just now
the possibilities are that there will be
neither war nor abdication.

The Verdict Of the People.

The Richmond Times 10 comment.
ing on the nations treatment of
Scbley, compared with the grand
ovation accorded Dewey, has this to
say, which we think sizes up the
situation very miuutely. II says:
The Administration treatment
of Admiral Schley in connection
with the Dewey celebration in New
York IS an iDdelble difgrace to it.
The position Scbley holds IN the es
TEEN of the men of the navy-the
men who constitute the rea ! navy
is shown by Admiral Dewey's recep.
ton of him. Schley being shut out
of the stand when the city's cup was
to be presented to Dewey, by an in
considerate gateman, climbed over
the railing like Joyous schoolboy TO
be with his old comrsde when this
great honor was conferred upon him
When Dewey saw bim he rushed up
to him ard putting his arm around
his neck exclaimed: Ny dear Schley,
| canuot tell you how glad / am to
see you Admiral, said Schley-
Don't you Admiral me- Dewey cut
in, we are boys again today. and |
won't have any fotmslties from you
Schley is au honor to the United
States navy, be is one of the very
best men it ever had, and he i S so re
garded by the men of the navy who
make it the great institution that it
is.
"Yet how did he appear in the
great festivities of New York He
came to the city like any private cit
izen, put up at hotel totally un-
noticed, viewed the ships parade
which every sailor longed to see,
from such a position as be could hire,
and was as totally unnoticed as if be
had never fred shot for his coun
try's defence.
"And this man had commanded
his eouutry's feet in the greatest
naval battle of modern times when a
performance was enacted that made
all the nations of the earth stand
aghast and wonder what could befall
thems, Ives If those vikings got after
them. la any other country Schley
wonld have represented his nation in
celebration OF that sort in position
of honor second only to that of the
greatest of the occasion.
"But where was Sampson while
Schley was playing this Cinderella
part Blazoned out in all the luxury
of gold lace and starry epaule's, he
was commanding the finest feet the
world ever saw, and bolstered up by
every influence the Administration
could command, be was doing his
little best to impose upon the world
with Schley's stolen lsurels. 1t is a
shame, it is a crying shame that
makes every honest American, every
mar who knows man and who ad-
mires courage, skill and knowledge,
blush for his country.
"But Schley had his recompense.
The people knew who was the hero
of Santiago, and they gave Schley
an ovation that would have made
the heart of any man who ever per.
formed great deeds swell with
grateful pride. The cheers be re-
ceived and the flowers the ladies
heaped upon him told him in unmis-
taxable language that his fellow cit

ELECTRIC STORM AT SEA.
steamship Sandman Had An Unusual
Experience.

The steamship Sandman, Captain
vipond of the A Ian line arrived here
yesterday morning from Liverpool after
a seventeen days passage, during which
she encountered the tempestuous weather
with which the other transatlantic steam
ers have been battling. She carried about
600 tons of cargo.
The most exciting event of the passage
in addition to fighting mountainous seas,
was an experience with an electric storm
that will not be forgotten for many day
by the officers and crew On Tuesday,
January -, about 5 30 o'clock in the
morning the crew was awakened by
a terrific explosion which shook the
steamer from stem to stern and threw
some of the men from their hunks in feal
and trembling. When those who had bee-
aroused from sound sleep had made
their way to the deck to inquire the causs
of the unusual rumble. they were in
formed that a huge ball of fire had burs
only few fact above the deck and had
distributed a million of smaller ones
along the rails and masts. The officer or
the bridge was blinded and half stunned
by the explosion and fash and wa,
thrown violently of his feet. For seyera
minutes moro or less excitement pre-
vailed among all hands and the anxiety
among some of them did not abate unit

GUILTY OF MANsLAueHreR.
Patrick murphy Pleads Guilty TO TINT.
Charge I'm Superior Court.

Patrick Murphy against whom two
indictments for the murder Of his wife,
Mary Murphy. had been found by the
grand jury retracted his plea OF not guilty
yesterday forenoon Ia the Superior court
and pleaded guilty to manslaughter.
The termination Of the case In this way
was great surprise to many who have
been anticipating long protrscted trial
and hard fought legal battle. By plead
ing guilty to granddaughter Murphy saves
the county Of Cumberland at least $500
and perhaps more.
When Judge Bonney had taken his seat
at ten O'Clock, the case against Murphy
was called up and Deputy Clerk Tompson
asked the prisoner II he wished to retract
his plea. The prisoner stood up and, in
a low voice, replied In the affirmative
Then he was asked: what say you to
this indictment; guilty OF not suiltyT'
Lawyer John b. Kehoe, whom the court
had assigned as counsel for the defense.
went over to the dock, whispered word
to the prisoner, and Murphy responded:
Guilty of granddaughter.
Judge Bonney asked the prosecuting at
torneys. Attorney General Haines and
County Attorney Libby. II they were
willing to accept that plea.
The attorney general replied that in
view Of the prisoners advanced age and
conditions, the ends of justice would. In
the opinion of the states attorneys, be
fully subserved under the respondents
plea.
County Attorney Libby announced that
he had no further business for either the
regular panel or the special jurors. The
court dismissed all the jurors in attend
ance and all the witnesses in the Murphy
case The prisoner was then led out from
the court room, and the crowd Of specta-
tors being informed that there was no
further business to come mp very re-
luctantly followed.
Murphy will receive his sentence when
Judge Bonney sentences the other prison
ers of the term. Before sentence is pro-
nounccd in the Murphy case, however, his
attorney, Mir. kehoe, will present evidence
in the hope of showing mitigating
circums ia noes and thereby securing as
light sentence for his client as is pos
sible, under the circumstances. The
maximum sentence for manslaughter is
ten years.
