I'LIEB IN COMMONS.
LONDON' , April 20. In the house of com-
tnons Lord llandolph Churchill , conserva
tive , asked Mr , Gladstone how far England
-wan complicated and how far responsible ) in
the suppression of the French newspaper ,
Bosphora Kgyptlon , at Cairo. Gladstone re
plied that Egypt had not acted alone in the
matter of seizing and suppressing the paper
and ndmitted that England WM not In n po
sition to disclaim nil responsibility for the
act. Gladstone gave notice that the govern
ment would introduce the expected motion
for n vote of iredit to-morrow. The premier's
reply concerning the lionphoio Egyptien and
Afghan incidents were to-day very guarded.
Ho answered a number nf questions nbout
the Anglo-llussian dispute wirh studied
evasion and in nil he said in the house of com
mons to-day ho added little or nothing to
what had been already known. In evidence
of the present bellicosa feeling among the
.members of parliament , it may bo mentioned
that when Gladstone unequivocally stated
that Sir rotorLumsdon's telegram
of Friday conGrms his previous
accounts of the fight at Fanjdeh , and
conflicted with those made about the same
battle by Gen. Komaroff. The declaration
was received with a low ripple of satisfaction
which soon developed in u cheer. Fears are
entertained that the Bosphoro Egyptien affair
is likely to load to a difficulty between France
nnd England. Tha situation at the close ol
the session of parliament this evening wae
one of a feeling of uneasiness bordering on
alarm. _

WILKEBDABUB , Pa. , April 18' Dr. David
Stern , now of Now York , but recently ol this
city , came here from Philadelphia last even
ing. Ho waa apparently In good spirits , Ho
went to the Wyoming Valley hotoi , Ho re
tired nbout 10 o'clock. At noon to-day ho
was found in a dying condition from tha ef
fects of laudanum taken with suicidal intent.
Physicians exhausted every resource to re
vive him , but without avail. At 0 o'clock to
night the physicians pronounced the case
hopo.oss. At that hour the pulse was 113 and
growing mora rapid. Death WAS thought to
be very near.
The suicldo was a most deliberate one , It
had evidently been long premeditated. Ho
intended to commit the deed in Philadelphia ,
as the following letter found on the bureau
and dated in that city shows :
To Whom it May Concern : Having arrived
at the deliberate conclusion to end a life
which has been to mo n source of pain and
turmoil , and not knowing exactly what day I
will carry my purpose into execution , I deem
it right nnd wise to wrl to the following : My

Market street ; Mr. Herman Holler ,
on Arch , nnd others. Under no circum
stances shall any rnbbl or clergyman of any
denomination officiate at my grave. What
ever money or gold jawelry is found on my
person I bequeath to the poor. The only
reason I care to give the world for my act la
that after a struggle of ton years I hnvo be
come convinced that injustice nnd selfishness
rule the world , and that I possess neither
strength nor Inclination to continue the strug
gle any loueer. I am weary.
DC , DAVID STERN.
Should any rolgious ceremonies by a friend

They would hold together about two ounces.
The third was half full of paregoric. On the
table waa a letter sealed and marked "pri

paper bearing the words , "Took poison nt

Dr. Stern came to this country about
twelve years ago and was at first located in
West Virginia. Ho subsequently bad charge
of Jewish congregations in Natchez , Miss. ,

Jewish temple in this city three years ago ,
but his ideas were too advanced and liberal
to suit the majority of his congregation , and
three months ago ho was requested to resign ,
Since then bo has been lecturing it
New York and writing for leading journal !
nnd papers. He was a man of great and com
manding mental powers and was one of tlu
mostfamous Jewish rabbis in America. Hi

peculiar beliefs nnd the boldness with whlcl

Ho was frequently accused of atheiem , and i

brilliant and able lecturer and _ a profouni

In charging the jury with the responsibilitie

made to him by States Attonney Grinnell
would be investigated by this body. He snli
there was no crime more serious in its result
than that of interfering with the franchise o
the people , "Tho community can bette
afford to have burglars carry on their nefar

WASHINGTON NOTES.
WASHINGTON , April 20. The supreme
court of the United States rendered a decision
to day in the Virginia coupon tax sales which
was unfavorable to the bondholders nnd
ngalnst the stats in nil material points.
TRIAL OF A JURY FOREMAN-SUl'REUB COURT
DECISIONS.
The trtnl of Win. Diokeon , foreman of the
jury which was known as the first star route
trial , indicted for "corruptly endeavoring to
influence the jurors , " was begun in the crim
inal court to-day.
The United States supreme court rendered
nn important decision to-day in a group of
cases known as the Virginia coupon cases , in
volving the validity of the recent legislation
of that state , with reference to the payment
of the state taxes in coupons of the state's
bonds. The decision was against the state ,
and In favor of the land holders on all mater
ial points. The court holds tba't all legisla
tion of the state which attempts to evade the
obligation under which it rests , to receive the
coupons of its bonds in payment of state
taxes is unconstitutional and void because it
Impairs the obligation of the contract ; that a
tax-payer having once made a due tender of
the -uponn in payment of his taxes , is under
no obligation to pay the said taxes in money
but may rest securely upon his right to have
the coupons received when offered , nnd that a
Inx collector who attempts thereafter to forci
bly collect nuch taxes by levying upon tha
taxpayers' property , is not shielded by the
legislation of the state , but makes the at
tempt at his personal peril. The opinion was
delivered by Justice Matthews and the chief
justice. Justices Bradley , Miller and Gray
dissented , Justice Bradley delivering the dis
senting opinion.
Tha court of claims to-day rendered a judg
ment against the United States in favor ol
tha Atlantic & Pacific railroad for § 01,35" .
Secretary Whitney to.day appointed tht
following court of inquiry to investigate the

A MONTANA DESPERADO , WITII SEVEN MUBDB :
TO HIS CREDIT , CAPTURED -ATHIFLK LYNC
ING , IN MISSOURI MINOR CHIME ) .
JAMISTOWN , Dak , , 'April 20. Two of t
worst and most notorious criminals on t
frontier were captured near the Canada b (
der on the Oth of April by ex-Chief of Poll
J , W. Lewis , of Shis city , and Deputy Slier
Connolly , of Miles City , Mont. , nnd ha
been brought hero. , Xbo prisoners are Charl
Rhodes , alias Roach , alias "Dutch Charlie
who , during his desperate career bat we
central Canada and the Pacific ,
said to have committed toren murders , BI
is wanted to answer , before the law for I
various crimes In Colorado , Washington T <
ritory , Montana and the Province of Ontar
Canada : and William Smith , believed to
I one of the most notorious horse thieves
I the west. The story of the pursuit and 01
Iturela briefly aa follows ; In company wi
n man then unknown , but now known to
have been Deputy Sheriff Connelly , of Miles
City , Chief Lewis loft hero March 30 , having
secured information of the supposed
whereabouts of the men whom ho sought
procuring two teams nnd men , Mr. Lewis
drove rapidly across the prnrlo directly toward
the Turtle mountain country , nnd on the Dili
itut found his men domiciled in n sod hut , on
the South Antler river , about half a imilo
this side of the British line nnd 300 mile *
northwest of this place. Fearing thnt Sheriff
Connolly might bo recognized and thiu occa
sion n desperate fight , Mr. Lewis left him
concealed under the straw on the bottom
of the wagon nnd entered the hut
alone. Within , on n bench by the fire
sat Dutch Charlie , nnd close by liitn lay n
Winchester lifle ana n largo revolver. Step
ping quietly up to the fire ns If desirous of
wnnning himself. Mr. Lewis began talking
with Rhodes in regard to the purchase of
some oats that hoproteuJod _ to want. After
n short conversation ho called Rhodes' attention -
tontion to a book lying near , nnd stepping
between the man andbl3woaponsand drew his
revolver nnd ordered the murderer to throw
up his hands. Having securely ironed him ,
ho proceeded to capture Smith , who was at
tending the horses outside the hut. The
work was quickly and quietly done , nnd wjth
their prisoners and four horses captured with
them , the two officers began their long over
land journey to Carrington , from which place
they arrived by last night's train.
At Crested Butte , Colo. , Rhodes is wanted
for the cold blooded killing of "Billy the
Kid , " a young card dealer In a gambling den.
Rhodes bad ill success at poker , nnd , re
marking that ho guested ho would "go out
nnd kill sotna one nnd sco if it wouldn't
change his luck " picked up his rifle , wnnt
out , and coolly shot three bullets Into Billy ,
who sat on n log near by. In Washington
Territory ho is wanted for the killing of two
persons , in Montana for the murder of a rich
cattle man , and it is said that ho is
wanted by Canadian authorities to answer
for murders commlttod near Toronto. For
his capture largo rewards have been offered
namely. $1,500 by GranvilloiStnwart | , of
Miles City , Mont. ; $500 by the Montana &

said , by parties whoso names cannot be given.
The prisoners were lodged lu the county jail
last night , nnd this morning Rhodes , heavily

to assume that ho was better. But more thai
that there was no doubt ho was stronger nn <
brighter even than Sunday , a | week ago , sail
the colonel. I didn't believe father would liv
n week , or a day , for that matter , bu
now I believe he is going through the summe
nil right. When Dr. Newman left the hous
he said the general wns asked yesterday if h
wouldn't go out to drive in the afternoon. II
was silent n little while , and then said : "Nc
this is Sunday. Prnyers for my recover ;
Tiave been offered to-day In many places , per
haps , throughout the country , and I think i
better that I should not go out until Mot
day. " The general was driven to Mount SI
