FACT N RUMOR.
Thu Story OF One Postponed Cabine
Council In England.

The story OF One Postponed Cabinet
Council In England.
Cabinet councils give rise at times
to rumors that dodge fact and mislead
public expectancy. One Of Lord Beac-
onsfield's supplies a case in point.
Queen Victoria, SO runs the tale, was
anxious about the state Of wind and
wave in the mid-Atlantic, which the
Princess Louise happened then to be
crossing. A lord In waiting knew a
professor who was q weather diviner,
and to him he went with a message
from her majesty, who sent also a mes
sage to Lord Beaconsield. The lord
support was Sunday night-in search
of the professor. Him he found in
this lively company and was himself
constrained to listen to the game Of
words that was passing round. Which
would they choose If they had to mar
~, Gladstone or Disraeli? All said
"Disraeli" except one, and she said
Gladstone, SO that I might elope with
Disraeli and break his heart"
The lord in waiting, much diverted,
went forth and, finding Disraeli in
rather low spirits, told him this tale
as an instance Of his great popularity
with all classes of the queens sub
jects. The whimsicality Of the thing
was congenial to Disraeli, who was
kept waiting next day at a cabinet
council for the arrival Of an important
colleague. To pass the time he told the
assembled ministers the story of the
theatrical supper. Lord Cairns (absit
omen), hearing, did not smile, and his
solemnity put out Of countenance the
prime minister, who at once made the
~nonarrival of the colleague an excuse
for postponing the council for a couple
of hours. The balance of power
was then unstable, and that afternoon
the papers had headings: War Immi-
nent. A Second Cabinet Council Sum-
moned." For once the ladies of the
stage made history and staggered the
Stock Exchange.-London Chronicle.

AGREED TO MORGAN'S OFFER.
British Government Said to Have
Siqned Terms,

London, Aug. 8.-Replying in the
house of commons to a request OF Lord
Charles Beresford for assurance that
no binding agreement would be CON
cluded between the government and
the shipping combination without the
agreement being approved by parlia-
ment, the premier, A. J.. Balfour, said:
4 do not think it possible to nego-
t1ate on this or any other subject if
the proposed terms are to be publicly
discussed before the government has
agreed to them. The govrnment, how.
ever, is most. anxious to take the house
into it's confidence at the earliest DOS
sible moment"
Mr.. Balfour's reply has particular
interest as Belfast dispatches an.
nounce that the government accepted
J. P. Morgan's offer to give the ad.
miralty claim on all the combines
ships. AS evidence of the acceptance
it is stated that the government has
chartered the Corinthie, the first shin
built for the combine, which has just
been completed at the Hart & Wolf
shipyards.
Inquiries made by the Associated
Press show that belief is general that
y. 2. Morgan's offer practically has
been accepted by the government,
The Belfast dispatch may slightly an.
ticipate the technicalities required tc
close the agreement, or may not allow
for changes inserted since the Offer
was originally made, but there appears
to be little doubt that the spirit Of the
scheme Is acceptable to the cabinet.

TENNESSEE FAMILY FEUD.
Two Men Killed and Two Wounded In
a Fight.

~ "S' ~s''SS o'S WV ~
a a Fight.
Nashville, Tenn, Aug. 8.-Jim High
peach and Brooks Carter were killed,
John Carter is supposed to have been
seriously wounded and a man named
Richmond was shot through the wrist
in a fight in Jackson county, resulting
from an old feud between the Carter
and Lynch families of that section.
The fight occurred in the country store
of Brooks Carter, where Brooks and
and his brother John, Jim Highpeach
and Boyd and Leslie Lynch and sew
eral others had gathered. The talk
drifted to the election and a dispute
arose between the Carter and Lynch
factions. Brooks Carter was seen to
reach for his pistol and a general fight
ensued, in which guns were brought
into action. Brooks Carter and High
peach were instantly killed and a by
stander named Richmond was shot
through the wrist. John Carter, who
is supposed to have been seriously
wounded, ran off after the shooting,
threatening vengeance.
The Lynch brothers are under ar
rest. Further trouble is anticipated.

ROUND UP OF BUFFALO.

A Cannonbal dispatch says: An
unusual feature Of the roundup of cat
tie on the Sheyenne reservation, one
that will probably never occur again,
was the gathering of about seventy
head of buffalo, and the roping and
branding Of several mixed bloods.'
These.are the result of a cross between
the buffalo and the domestic bull. They
are not Of much value, except for the
robes. They often have white faces
and other characteristics Of the domes-
tic animal. These buffaloes are the
property Of the Dupree estate:
August will always be remembered
among the Indians of, this reservation,
On that day all the able-bodied under
30 years received their last ration from
the government. The old and helpless
will continue to receive rations.

body decapitated in a tenderloin re
sort, known as the Empire Garden
Cafe, in West Twenty-ninth street,
within few doors Of Broadway. New

the police say. that Craft, who had
been making the rounds of the tender
loin. displayed a large amount of mon
ey in the Empire. and was killed by
one of the walters known as Thomas
Tobin for the purpose of robbery.
The police also say that knockout
drops were first administered and
that the victim was then dragged
into the basement and killed with
cleaver.
The odor of burning flesh attracted
the attention OF the occupants of the
upper part of the house and led to the
discovery by detectives of the nude
