[ Now York Herald Cable Special to TUB BEE. | Though for the moment n trifling kind of dullness rclnns in parliament , I am Inclined to think It will not last very muuh longer. For ono thing , n storm Is being conjured up by the arts ot the grand old parliamentary wizard. When every bouy thinks ho Is done for nt last , ho has the habit , as a lady told him , of popping up again. What are yon to do with n man who pops UP , oven nfter cnba liavo knocked him down ? That Is merely one of the hundred little contretemps of dally llfo of which Mr. Glad stone takes no hoed. To bo nuro It does not often happen ; but when It docs. Mr. Gladstone. picks himself up as ho did Tuesday , in Pic cadilly , nnd runs after the cabman , takes his number , and leaves him in the hands of the police. How mnny men nro there In their eightieth year , who would bo disposed to finish off jobs of this sort in so thorough nnd artistic n manner ! Most people , finding themselves in the middle of the road , wron.g sldo uppermost , would bo quite satisfied to scramble to their legi ami walk quietly homo and Inke nn hour or two to repair dnmagcs. But Mr. Gladstone never gives In. His en gagements , any day In the week , would tire out most young follows of two-and-twenty without the cub part of the business thrown In as an extra. Now what Is ho going to do to keep him self well to the front In public lifol Tncro are several things on the cards , among thorn two especially interesting. The first t elates to the withdrawal of the English ambassador ut Paris ut the opening of the great exhibition. Thismavbo brought before - fore the house , In connection with the for- < ; igu o ill co budget , which has yet a stage to pass through , and which has been kept back A most unusual tlmo by the government , in order to avoid a discussion of this rather ticklish question. To postpone what you do not like and cannot prevent is the motto of every government. A inil-ton who is going to bring on an ugly subject mny change his mind or go abroad , or the public may lese nil interest in it , but nonb of these things is llkoly to occur in con nection with tlio retirement of Lord Lyton from Paris. Mr. Gladstone is in full chase after n cabby , and ho will never rest until ho has bnulcd him and his chief , Lord Salis bury , before the parliament and the people. Whit view is the public taking of this matter ! As on every thing else , opinions are di vided. A good mnny people think that it is a rather mean and small thing for ono nation to officially boycott another because certain events happened n hundred years ago , of which everybody does not happen to approve. Not onu visitor out of ton thousand associ ates the Parts exhibition In any way with the French revolution ; they merely see In it ono of the most Interesting nnd instructive collections , Illustrative of the world's pro gress , which linn over boon brought together. Would It not have been better to have allowed Lord Lyton to have remained at his post , Ignoring the revolution nnd seeing nil thnt Is interesting in the exhibition , in com- 'mon withtho rest of the world ! After nil , the French people and the French govcinmcnt havo'not said n great deal about the revolution , or sought to mag nify It overmuch. But lor the fuss made by the withdrawal of so mnny European am bassadors , the connection between the two events , slight nnd imaginary as it is , would have Uecn completely forgotten. If England was Induced to retire fiom France because of tbo pressure of Prince Bismarck , it will not tend to increase the satisfaction of the public at what h icourreJ. These are points on which , no doubt , Mr. Gladstone-will seek Information , and It will require nn able nnd more discreet mnn than the undcr-sccrctnry for foreign affairs , Sir James FcVguson , to parry bis attack. This particular olllclnl is only known for the facil ity with which ho loses his temper nnd makes a moss of his business ; and , therefore , it will bo very desirable to have Lord Salisbury himself in the house for nn hour or so , to re ply to Mr , Gladstone. As that can not bo mnncgod , AJr. Gladstone Is very likely to run the government rather close on tlua occa- elon. elon.Thcro Is , I think , n storm coming up in another part of the heavens. I called your attention to the fact that the Irish party seemed to bo fizzling out. It may have struck Bothers navell as myself , or at , nny rule there It something in the air which I do not profess to bo nblo to Interpret , but which ie llkoly to Clvoriso to noteworthy events. I believe that n movement of a totally now kind is being pr'jjeuti'd , und that it will tnko the gov ernment by surprise. The Nationalist leaders may well bo excused'for feeling that if what they nro doing now the tnunt of the Times , that their cause U bad they will bo justified r tii.u.o eyes of the people. I not Mr. Parnolly pretty clearly Indl cKthe other day , thut bis tactics were about to take u different direction. Ho talked , Itjdccd , of retiring with hid fol lowers from the parliament at Westminster , That would bo about the worst thing ho und they could do. By tbo'eovornment , on the other bund , It Is naturally regarded as a con summation devoutly to bo wished. It might bo nioio dlflicult for tbo Paruollltes to get back again tbnn for them to go out. Suppose n tncuEUro for the dlsfranchUe- ment of Ireland wcro to bo brought forward after tliohM-ctli cmont In a solid body I 6on o people iir ( > vpry much in favor of a ichomo of thut klna , and in the absence of the1 eighty-six li Ish members It could bo passed. These contingencies and others , which 1 will not now specify , will have to bo kept In view , II Mr. Pnrnell was in earnest In suR66stlnf ; tbo removal of the whole camp from tlio parliamentary f.old , there mut bo ' * , omo deep-laid clot In his mind , fraught with great possibilities of danger to his party , or icrhaps to the union. No ono could toll bo- orchnnd what would bo the Issue , butovory- > ody would ngrco that It is not a stco to bo alien in n hurry. 3That wo may look for event * , new and strange , before vcrylong- ! venture to pre dict. Affairs nro in a critical state , and it must bo remembered thnt after the present session all parties will bo flxmg their eyes on the next general election. Indeed , the underground wires nro now bolng moved with a view to that. The nationalists mean to bo counted In on so raomcntuou * nn oc casion , nnd they will bo up and doing before Tcry long.

[ New York Herald Cable Special to TUB Bui.l The Valkyrie von again to-day , In the Now Thames Yacht 31ub channel match , from Southond to larwich. She neat the Irox by over Sff minutes nctunl time , nnd by 33 minutes nnd 1 seconds corrected time , addlng'hcr handi cap of 0 minutes and CO seconds. The race , however , was not an oxclttng ono , bolng n mixture of very light breezes and semi-dead calms throughout. It proved ono thing , however , and that is that the Valkyrlo can outdistance nny yacht of her class afloat. Some say that In n light wind nnd on some occasions , to-day for example , uck strongly favors her. At the start the rex made n slight lead and got away ahead of her competitor the snme as yesterday , but , ho Valkyrie quickly pulled up on her , and > ho match was pretty nearly n proccsslou all , ho rest of the way. The race was for yuehts of nny rig for a Irst prlzo of 50 , and a second prize of 50 if four stnrt , nnd a third pi bo of 20 if six start. The ontrlei were the Mohawk , Vredn , Ynrann , Dls , Deerhound , Foxhound , Valky rie , Irox , and Amphitrito. The gun sounded for the stnrt at 8:45 : n. m. , nnd under a fresh brcczo from the landward .ho . entire flotilla moved gracefully forward , n what for : i moment seemed an cv6n lino. rho Irex and Vnlkyrlo were slightly ahead , and In a minute or two James' cutter could be plainly scon outdistancing Lord Dunra- ven's ' champion. Behind them came tbo ' .lohawlc and the Uccrhound ; the schooner Amphitrito followed , and close behind her sailed the Vredn and the diminutive Dis. The boats maintained the same order for n while , In fact nil of them did so for a long while , jjavo the Mohawk and the Deerhound , which [ started oil together on a luffing match loward Sheerness , which mnncauvor , .hough it subsequently gave them a little more wind , was of no perceptible- advantage to either ot them. By the tune the Mouse light was reached a flat calm had fallen over the water , and , ho white sails flapped in struggling help- cssness for a little time , until a more ghost of a breeze came up , nnd fanned them slowly onward. Meanwhile the Valkyrie had pulled up on the Irox and was steadily increasing icr lead over her big opponent , while the Yarana was just maintaining her position 03 third. The Deerhound next overtook the schooner Amphitrito , nnd remained ahead of icr during the remainder of the race , the Vreda , Mohawk , Foxhound und Dls reinain- nc solidly in the rear. Coming round the buoy" before the Cark lightship the wind failed again , but quickly veered round and took the crafts ahead. rtio Valkyrie , in her position as loader , caught the breeze almost fifteen minutes jofore her opponents , and taking down her Ib tousall tacked and fetched around .he buoy and lightship. The others crawled up slowly until they too caught the breeze .hat had sent Lord Dunraven's yacht so far ahead of them , but were altogether too late to have prevented her victory , were she oven not half so fleet a racer as she is. Away she sailed leaving her other competitors far in tier wake , and passed the buoy outside the pier at Harwich nearly half an hour before any of the rest. The gun was fired at 0 hours. 14 minutes , 10 seconds. The Irox came in in 0:40:37. : : The ofilcial tlmo of the foremost quartette was , the Valkyrlo , first prlzo. 0:14:19 : : ; Inox second prize , 0:40:37 : : ; Ynrann , disqualified , nil ; the Deci hound. 7:15:41 : ; thn Amphttrlto , 7:18:43. : The handicap was , Irev , nil ; Val kyrie ; 5 minutes , 65 seconds , and the Deerhound , 23 minutes , 2,3 seconds ; the Amphltr c , 4 minutes seconds ; the Yarnna would have secured third plnco save for the fact that she passed on" the wrong side of the buoy. Some ono in the judge's boat en deavored to signal to bar the mistake in time to avoid the consequences , but was promptly prevented from effecting his purpose by the judges , but the race in itself confirms one * thing , that scarcely needed continuation , to wit , thn Valkyrlo Is a bettor boat than tbo Yarana or the Irox. Down among the yachting mon , to-day , it was the freely expressed opinion that the now cutter can not hope to win In a race against tbo Volunteer , save by the purest luck. The circustanccs being similar for each , the Volunteer could walk away from tbo VnlKyrio. _ _ AA1I2K1OAN IjKGATlO.V. No CjmnKC ? in ltn Linmloit Quarters J-'or the Present.

ALIVE IN THE GRAVE The Horror of Burial In a State of Catalepsy. AN INTERVIEW WITH VIROHOW. Washington Irvlngr Bishop's Case Scientifically Discussed. DISSECTING A LIVING MAN. The Scientist Thinks the Mlnd- Boador Was Doad. WHAT THE BRAIN REALLY DOES. AVhon the Circulation of the Blood nnil Ilc.splriUlon Cease , n Sinn Is n Gomir aho Need oT Care. An Anatomical Opinion. bu Jamt ) Gordon Iltnnttt , ] Mny 25. [ Now York Herald Cable Special to Tnc Bic.l The drond of being dissected , or burled while In n state of trance , has occurred to every thinking human boinp at least once during his or her life time. The idea , of Itself , is such n hideous cno thnt it is seldom spolcoti of to another being. It is Included umong those fancies , which hover nround the fevoiish bed of sleeplessness In the silent watches of the night nnd flee llko an evil spirit nt the approach preach of dawn. No living rann has dissected as many hu man beings or inferior animals ns Prof. Rudolf Virchow , of the University of Ber lin. The case of Washington Irving BIf&op is ono of such vital interest to the whole human race that the Herald correspondent did not hesitate to break in upon the labors of the great scientist to ask him , In the interest of humanity , for nn opinion coucernlng Bishop's caso. When I stated It to him , tlio Professor paused for n moment nnd then with that modesty and re serve In stating his views , common to nil those whoso knowledge is really profound , ho quietly said : "It is somewhat difficult to give a positive opinion concerning such cases , unless ono is in possession of all the facts bearing on thorn ; but 1 have no hesitation In saying that the fact of the brain having boon warm nt the time of its removal is no proof at all that Bishop was allvo at the tlmo the post mortem examination of his body wns mndo. " "After death the Internal organs fre quently remain warm for a long tlmo after the surface of the body has become cold , and there are certain maladies , mainly of the nervous system , wherein not only is the temperature- the brain Is not diminished after death but actually undergoes nn in crease. Thia has boon proved beyond the sllghtcstdoubt by a numbsr of experiments mudo on man and on the inferior animals. "In the whole course of my long experience as an anatomist , I have never known or heard of a case of n man being dissected 'alive , ex cept in ono instance , nnd that Is a matter of history , although the evidence m it is > imper fect. That was the case of Vasel , or Vnselius , the great anatomist of the Six teenth century. He revolutionized in break ing loose from the traditions handed down * from the time of Galon. It Is said that ho lived in concealment somewhere in Spain during the last ton years of his. life , after having filled a prominent part at th o court as well as in science , for ho was the body sur geon of Charles V. 1 ho reason alleged for his retirement from the world is that ho in advertently anatomized the body of a man who was alive at the time. This , ns 1 say , is the only case of the kind I have ever hoard of , until you mentioned Mr. Bishop's , and it is very far from being sustained. " 1 have heard of many cases whore per sons are alleged to have been burned while in a state of trance , but , sir , in no case thor oughly investigated was this proven. ' Even if it bo admitted that Bishop was alive at the time his brain was removed , the allegation that ho was conscious of what was being done to him then is absurd : Conscious ness is a function of tbo brain , the result of its activity. In order that this activity may continue , it is necessary to renew a supply of oxycon to tha brain , which can only bo supplied by means of the blood , and the sup ply of oxygen to the blood can only bo main tained ns long as respiration Is continued. If the circulation of the blood and respiration both cease , the brain is necessarily deprived of the oxygen necessary to the activity , which alone produces consciousness. In that case decomposition would soon set In , as the brain belongs to that portion of the body that most quickly decomposes. "Our only means of knowing whether life still exists in the human body nro certain action. Wo have no other moans. Thcro is often no positive proof that llfo Is extinct ; and , on the other hand , there is no proof to show It to bo still remaining. If respiration and circulation are discontinued they never , for the reason above stated , return. The signs that show their presence may bo so slight ns to escape the closest observation , but they are there. Breathing still con tinues , although so faintly as not to affect a mote In air near the mouth. The best tests as to whcthnr life is departed - parted or not are the most powerful excit ants , a galvanic battery , for instance , ono polo of which should bo attached to the dla- phram , the most powerful inusolo of respira tion , uuuTtuo other to the medulla oblongata , which controls the nerves descending from tbo bond to the neck and Is the vital citadel of the body , the center ol respiration and circulation.

It contains clauses relating to the municipal government of Apia , the coaling ports hold l > y the powers , the land commission and the anatomy of the Somoan government , the ; ext of which has already boon cabled to Washington nnd approved by Blalno. A clause defining the tariff of tbo Snmonn constitution , the native government and the Imitation of Gorman claims for indemnity from the natives has been framed in consonance nance with instructions from Blnlnc , who is In dally cable communication with the commission. Nothing , therefore , ought , in the opinion of the delegates , prevent the winding up of the conference on Tuesdny , when business Is expected to bo limited to tbo oxchnngo of signatures to the agree ment. The successor the commission and the rapidity with which the business was got through with , wai partly duo to the condol atory attitude of Bismarck and the Impartial policy displayed by Sir Edward Malet , and also largely to the American commissioners liavlng definite instructions covering every point. The constant hard work of the sub commltto marvelously oxpcdlated matters , the plenary sittings of the conference hav ing lltUo to do further than to hear reports. Throughout no embarrassing developments liavo retarded the progress of the delibera tions. tions.When When the conference began it was an nounced that the foreign ofllco was confident the sessions would terminate in the first week in Juno. The discussion has taken its course and issue according to the forecast. The German official world , following the example of Its chiefs , treats the American commissioners with high favor. If they respond to all their Invitations they will find their hardest work in recreation. Count Herbert gavaconspicuous emphasis to Ills friendly footing with each of tbo com missioners by bis greeting at the Temple- ho for parade , when ho left the parade to converse with each commissioner , riding be tween the carriages of Kasson nnd Bates and Pholps- , and exchanging cordial words with thorn. King Humbert's projected visit to Stras bourg was countermanded after the Italian embassy received the telegrams from Paris reporting : the disturbance in the public mind. The arrangements nt Strasbourg included n review of the garrison nnd a night attack on' the citadel. After Signer Crispi had re ferred the matter to Bismarck , it was an nounced that King Humbert would not visit Strasbourg , but would keen on the Baden side'of the Rhine on his homeward journey. The situationjjat the .Westphalia colliery continues critical. According to the Rhen ish papers , the proclamation of martial law is imminent. Hitherto the minors have held aloof from the socialists and have resented their approaches. Now thcro are symptoms of impatience under the passive reslstcnco of the masters. Herr Weber , president of the Boohuui strlko committee , wai arrested after making n speech last night in which occurred the phrase : "War acainst capital ; victory or death Is acclaimed. " The minors In several pits In Bochum , Gcllnklrcbon and Aschen will go on a strike again , having failed to got tbo assent of the owners nt Dortmund to the concessions de manded. Other strikes arc growing. Six thousand masons in Berlin , who resumed woik under the belief that their employers would grant their demand , will strlko again on Monday. Nineteen thousand mon employed In the building trades nro now out here. The ngod workmen's Insurance bill passed the rcichstng yesterday by only twenty ma jority. Prince Bismarck wanted seventy. The revision of the treaty acrcod upon dur ing the king's visit has not yet received the the adhesion of Austria. Associated with the treaty is the military convention 11 xhie a definite plan for the mobilization of the Italian army in the event of war. Signer Crispi wanted the cntlente cordlalo on the question of the papacy. Pnnco Bismarck obtained from Signer Crispi a pledge for n moderate internal policy toward the Vatican , nnd has asked the Austrian pnmo minister to join In the pressure on the pope to mnko peace with Qulnnal. It is understood Em peror Francis Joseph reluctantly al lowed Count Kolnoky to intervene In the matter , and that the pope on receiving private assurances of the Austrian om- poror's sympathy , promptly rejected the overturns. The result is a distinct broach in the continuity of the alliance. The re vised treaty will probably remain unsigned until emperor Francis. Joseph and Count Knlnoky pay their expected visit hero. The Italian generals , Rolands nnd Slronl , remain in Berlin to scltio the details of the military convention with the war ofllco. Adversp rumors go the length of assorting the difference with Austria is leading to n rupture of the alliance- with Emperor Francis Joseph to regulate the Balkan ques tion In conjunction with Russia.

[ Now York Herald Cable Special to THE BKB. ] The bnnklni ? account of Captain Murrell , commander of the Missouri , who , on the morning of April0 , rescued 733 emigrants from the sinking Dan- mark in mid-Atlantic , under circumstances of great peril and Immense personal and commercial risk , must to-day present n much tnoro healthy appearance than It did two months ngo. His heroic net has been recog nized in thrco countries In n princely man ner , nnd presents In gold nnd klnd.jind titular honors have boon lavished upon film. The city of London was , yesterday afternoon , enthusiastic In his honor , whilst boquots nnd testimonials nwalt him In the cities of Col chester nnd Cardiff , nnd there is n strong probability that the freedom of London will bo presented to him. His reception In London eclipsed nil pre vious festivities In his honor. The scene In side wns nn unusuilly brilliant ono , nnd when Captain Murroll entered , In company with the lord mayor , the band struck up , "See the Conquering Hero Comes. " At the same time the cntlru nndlcnco rose en masse and shouted nnd hurrahed until the civic walls runtr , which completely drowned the music. Men waved hats and woman flour ished umbrellas nnd handkerchiefs , nud it wns some minutes before silence- was re stored. All this tlmo Captain Murroll stood blushing nud bowing , and the lord mayor encouraged n prolongation of the ova tion by leading it. A mlnuto later the applause wns resumed when the officers of the Missouri joined Iholr chief on the platform. The speeches were of n most laudatory character nnd replete In references to the nobility of native Brit ish , the pluclc nnd great humanity of the heroic captain , and every such reference brought the people to their feet with storms of applause. The proceedings commenced by the lord mayor calling uuon the band to play "Hearts of Onk. " W. Connolly nelly , secretary of the testimonial com mittee , described Cnptnln Murroll's ' reception In America nnd the organizing of n fund to fete him in England. There has been 10,150 paid or promised , and the list was still open. Mr. Connolly said It had been decided to give oicn member of the craw two months' pay nud cnch ofllcor a gold watch nnd two months' pay , nnd the bal ance , which It was hoped would roach 500 , to the captain himself. In spite of nil the honors that are being heaped upon him , the captain remained an honest , simple-hearted Englishman. Ho concluded his enumeration of the honors , past nud prospective , arranged for Captain Murroll , by announcing that when that oWccr returned to the United Suites ho wns to bo presented to the presi dent nt Washington. After a speech from the lord mayor , In which ho paid a high tribute to tbo captain , officers and crow of the Missouri , ho pre sented Captain Murrell with a silver salver and the officers with a gold medal and u check for two months' salary. When Captain Murrell rose to respond , the whole audience rose at the stimo tlmo and cheered vociferously for several minutes. Ho said it was with n very high sense of grati tude that bo and his crow wcro present and ho thanked the meeting for the cordial rcccutiou that had been accorded them. The gratitude of tbo people they wcro the means of saving was sufficient lor him and his crow without any further recompense. Ho spoke of the responsibility ho felt when throwing over the cargo , but sntd ho con cluded that merchandise was nothing when compared to human life , a sentiment that was loudly cheered. The Danish minister , M. Do Folbo , ex tended the gratitude of his countrymen , from place to cottacre , from king to peasant , to Captain Murroll nnd his bravo crow. General New , the American consul , added words of welcome nnd the lord mayor ex plained that the American minister would bo present , but until ho was presented to the queen ho had no official status. General New said the appreciation of true beioism was common to the people of all climes , and especially to the people of old England , America , und , perhaps , in no less a degree , the people of Denmark. Coptam Murrcll's would stand out conspicuous ns a great effort of true seamanship nnd gallantry. General Now then ijavo the popular com mander checks for $2rxK , nnd Captain Mur roll , having broken the fastening of the sealed letter , the lord mayor read a letter" fiomtho chancellor of the Gorman empire highly eulogizing Captain Murroll , after which the pioceodings terminated. o AMERICANS ARIIOAD.

It was pointed out , by interested stock jobbers , that such nil action on the pirt of the Italian mon.irch could moan nothing loss than absolute provo cation to war. A downward movement In French and Italian rentes was the immedi ate result of the reports , although it became pretty evident , bofoio closing tlrno.thatthcro was no truth In the rumor. The stock affected finished at a considerable re duction fiom yesterday's ' rates.
