Several Are Kilted.
Londox, Feb. 9. Parlaraent was
opened. The Lord Chancellor read the
Queen's speech. Her Majesty began by
expressing her gratitude for the expres
sions of sympathy upon the death of the
late Prince Victor. She reports her re
lations with the other powers friendly
and says an agreement has been con
cluded with the United States defining
the mode of settlement of the Bchring
Sea dispute. Parliament is notified that
proposals will be laid before it for
applying to -Ireland the general princi
ples affecting local government already
adopted in Great Britain. Measures
for increasing the number of small
agricultural holdings of land are
also foreshadowed. Notice is given
that legislation will be asked
on - assisted education for Ireland;
to improve the legislative councils in
India; to relieve the elementary school
from local r;ttea; for improving discipline
of the church of England and to amend
the law regarding the liability of em
ployers for injuries sustained by em
ployees. There was a email attendance

The Irish Factions.
London, Feb. 9. The negotiations
looking to a reconciliation between the
Irish factions, which had apparently
progressed so far as to justify Mr. T. P.
O'Connor in announcing their virtual
completion, have finnlry been suspended,
without a definite result having been at
tained. The nominations, it seems.
reached a stage where further advance
hinged upon the retirement of Mr. Tim
othy Healy from a prominent place
among the McCarthyite leaders. That
is. in case of amalgamation of the fac
tions, Mr. Hcaly was to take a back seat
in the councils of the united Irish party,
The Parnellites could forgive and forget
nearly everything that had happened in
the past year, except the part played by
Mr. Healy. Healy, on his part, pro
fessed his entire willingness to efface
himself for the good of the cause, and
this point Reomed on the verge of satis
factory settlement when the Parnellites
renewed an old demand, which they ex
plained had always been a sine qua non
to any scheme of reunion, to the effect
that Mr. Gladstone should be compelled
to specify the chief points of his home
rule proposition betore the general elec
tion as a pro-requisite to any pledge of
lima support tor tne liberal party.
- The Dominion Debt Growing. - -
Ottawa., Ont, Feb. 9. For the
month of January the federal govern
ment spent $5,227,925 on ordinary ac
count and collected $3,932,873 of reve
nue. Tke revenue collected during the
first seven months of the fiscal year was
not nearly sumcient to meet tne expendi
ture. The government spent $21,873,-
744, while the total revenue for the same
period was $20,717,451, leaving a deficit
of $1,158,293, which will no doubt be
increased, as the revenue shows a de
cline each mouth. The fact that the
Dominion revenue is becoming insuf
ficient to meet current expenditure is
evident from the large increaso in the
public debt. During the last month the
net debt of the Dominion was augmented
! by $2.26' .637 and the gross debt is now
tai,Yfo,oi, who a pruspeci uiiw w wui
reach a round $300,000,000 before the
end of 1892.

Conventions were called by the bolt

various conventions. '
What They Say of Blaine.
Washington, Feb. 9, Democratic
members about the committee room, did
not soem to be surprised at the announce
ment of Mr. Blaine's withdrawal, as it
was generally expected, they say. The
request for their views in the matter was
received in rather indifferent manner, aa
they had not given the matter very
much thonght and' consequently had no
opinion to express.
Representative Ellis, chairman of the
committee on the revision of laws, said
it would undoubtedly tend to increase
the. chances of President Harrison for
the nomination. - . :
"But not for election," said Represen
tative Montgomery, who was pacing the
floor of the room. Judge Montgomery
expressed no surprise at the withdrawal
of Mr. Blaine. i
. SefiatoCagey-a Wromwg, Rep., had
all alongbelieved that President Harrison
was the strongest candidate the Repub
lican convention could name, that he
would be so named and be elected.
Representative Funston of Kansas
said: "The letter of Secretary Blaine. I
take it, settles the question of President
Harrison's renomination. I do not be
lieve he will have any opposition in the
convention. His administration is rec
ognized as one of the best the country
has ever known, and while Mr. Blame Is
popular in Kan Ms, the president is none
the less so."
Hot Elections In TJtah.
Salt Lake, Utah, Feb. 9. The mu
nicipal election was held here and
national party lines were drawn. Lib
eral (anti-division party) elected the
whole of the city ticket and probably 13
of the 15 councilmen, the Democrats
carrying only their precinct and the Re
pubficans none. THe city is divided into
five councilmanic districts, each electing
three members. Together the Division
ists would easily carry the Fourth pre
cinct aud perhaps one or two candidates
in the others. - A great deal of scratch
ing was done and it is possible the demo
crats may gain some members of the
council. Some Liberals will have 1,000
plurality. The Divisionists charge
wholesale fraud by city officials,
notably Water Master Ryan, in
colonization of "hobos'' for voting
purposes and massing them in the
fourth precinct, although that precinct
is really Democratic. Challenges were
innumerable and over 100 were excluded.
At ono time a riot seemed imminent.
Judge of Elections Weels was struck by
two alleged "hobos" and both were ar
rested Arthur Brown, a leading law-
frer arid Repnblican ws the chief chal
enger. Altogether the heaviest vote in
the history of thi city was polled. The
Liberals are parading the streets with
torches, bands aud horns. In Proyo, tha
Democrat! elect the entire city ticket and
all but three councilmen after a hot fight.
The Louisiana Ilomocrats.
New Orleans, Feb. 9. Ex-Governor
McEnery has written tot)ononel A. W.
Crandall suggesting as the condition of
the Democratic party in Louisiana is
critical, that an offer be made to the
Foster alliance combine to join the Mo
Enejjitos and withdrawing all the pres
ent candidates for state officers and be
gin over again for the sake of unity and
to defeat the Republicans, although he
knows his faction is in a majority Col

chairman of the Foster alliance combine
KiigKesting that a committee meet the
McEneryites in joint state executive
committee and arrango for new white
primaries, no latr than March 15 to
elect delegates to a fresh state Demo
cratic convention. The Foster side haj
not yet replied.

Di'buqce, la., Feb. 9. State Oil In
spector Dunn, chairman of the Demo
cratic state central committee two years
ago, said: "The withdrawal of Blaine
will give a tremendous impetus to Boies'
candidacy for first place on the Demo
cratic ticket. Blaine is probably the
only Republican who could carry Iowa
against Boies, and lioies is Hie only man
who could carry Iowa. He is the only
Democrat whose nomination would
carry with it the addition of an other
wise Republican state to tho Democratic
column.

who have been carrying on a somewhat
novel plan for extorting money from
widows of this city were arrested. The
selection of widows for their victims
seems to have been with the idea that
unprotected women would be more
likely to be frightened. The plan was
to deliver in person or introduce into

threatened to rort to dynamite unloss

never married youP

bad with his wife to her peculiar nervous
affection, which has baitioa the best
medical skill. He declared that she
smoked cigarettes in spite of hlsobieo
tions, and even gave them to her chil
dren. When the kinir of Holland was ill
she complained that he took too long to
die, according to her husband.

attornevs read deoositions and made ar
guments, when the case was turned over

and bearing shots fired, and James
Creighton, Barkeeper Joseph Denny, ex
tratnan in the fire department, and
George Kentz, compositor, testified to
seeing a man run away from the spot
where Grant was killed. They could
not. however, positively identify Curtis
as the man.
One of tho most important witnesses
was Mamie Golden, who resides just
across the street from where Grant was
killed. She testified that she had been
sitting np with her sister entertaining
company. "I heard two men talking
loudly and then scuffling," she said, "I
then heard shots and saw flashes. One
seemed to be on a level, the second flash
was pointed downward, and the last
flash was upward in the air. There was
no one else on that side of the street ex
cept the two men who where scuffling.
One of the men ran , away after the
shooting. I could not see where ho fled
to. At the time of the shooting I saw
something bright in the hand of the
man who ran away. He was standing
near the fence. I did not notice how
he was dressed and cannot describe
him."
