ICatiyrtgM 18 ® liu Jama ( Ionian tlenntU. } Lapox. July 20. [ Now York Herald Cabltp-Spccial to TUB Bnn.l You have evidently had access during the past week to cxrluclvo sources of Information which hava enabled you to lay before your readers with remarkable fulness nnd accuracy the chief facts connected with the controversy that has arisen over the proposed royal grants. In not n single detail does your Information need correction. Unfortunately the week closes us it began with utter failure , o se cure an agreement on tha immcdiato applica tion for additional grants , and with every prospect of still moro 'serious disagreement In parliament when the entire question is carried there for settlement. To-duy's efforts to como to some compro mise have been "ns Ineffectual as those which have gone boforo. " Gladstone , Morley - ley nnd ether liberals , with two exceptions , nro wiling to give the Prlnco of Wales 40,000 u year over und above his present al- lowunco on condition that ho makes pro visions for his own children , and that the ether grandchildren of the queen shall bo provided for by their parents or re lations. lo ) not Imagine that in going thus far Gladstone and his friends have hnd a road all smooth before them. Very far from that. A largo body eof the radicals in the house are desperately discon tented , and they do not scruple to dcclaro that their veteran leader betrayea them. They do not understand that Gladstone has been a party moro than * once to arrange ments of the kind which are now proposed , mid that ho feels it his duty , as nn old ser vant of the crown , to stand by the sovereign nnd her family. Now , 1 should think It very probable that Gladstone was consulted before the present application was mudo , and he is known to bo very good friends with the Prince of Wales. Ho is familiar with all the circumstances of the prince , and that bolng so , ho must bo aware thut if the prlnco were to die tomorrow row his children would bo loft totally unprovided for , consequently it is not sur prising that Mr. Gladstone has taken up n very strong line in favor of the reasonable demand made on behalf of the ormco's children. But then the government does not stop there , and that is the unlucky part of the business It makes this application , but It docs not say that it or its successor shall not be free to coico.forward ngal& und ask for more money for any other grandchildren of the queen. Thcro is where Gladstone draws the lino. Ho Is perfectly conscious that a great strain has been put upon his supporters In their ef forts to go wlth.hltn ns fur as they have dono. Morley has been very faithful , and Morloy's constituents are by no means pleased with him In consequence , and , after all , nothing is gained by a man losing Ills seat In parlia ment through loyalty to his chief. It does not advance the cause ono jot. Gladstone himself would not bo a gainer by Morley icing thrown out of his scat , and this result will not be Improbable If nn election wcro to take place just now , for the radical party throughout the country Is furiously opposed to any moro royal grants. That you may take to bo u fact qulto beyond dispute. As for the conservatives , they simply grin and bear it. "Will the trovornmont civo way to that 1" is a question which agitates all sections. This evening I do not think It can or will. . - Evidently there U u power In the back ground whloh has to ' bo considered , which thinks it .would bo betraying the younger branches of the royal family If nil claim on the country on their behalf wcro now repu diated nnd forfeited. Thb government Is therefore really in no position to recede from the attitude it has taken. It Is willing to leave the future take c.iro of Itself and bind parliament to nothing. But tlio liberals will not have it thut way. They say wo must s bear nil future applications. As matters stand now the ministry can not yield , but it may bo authorized to do so before Monday morning. The queen stood out for her rights on the bed chamber question and boat Sir Robert Pool. She refused to allow Lord Pnlmerston to Ignoio her In the management of foreign affairs , nnd ho had to give way. Hut Is the present u good occasion to make another resolute stand I Is it wise to assume this attitude ! We will tutco all you have to give now , but wp will give no undertaking , not to present another bill for payment whenever circumstances require , and we Mono are to bo judges of these circum stances. Is that wise ! I for ouo take leave to doubt it , The word apparently is being passed around to the conservatives press to back up the ministry in Its refusal to yield. 1 * co ono seml-oflleiul paper says that there must bo no surrender. Well , of course , there Is nothing to prevent that line bolng taken , The ministerial majority Is strong enough to curry u report couched in thut sense , but the conservative party must make up its mind to bo routed , horse , foot nnd d ragoona at the next general election us n result. Tall talk costs nothing now , but it will bo dear In the end. You cannot make addi tional royal grants really popular. The people ple will not stand in the streets and throw up their caps for them. And what they expect now is tbatdoflulto limits shall be fixed to the uuiouut to bo paid the royal family , und this limit the ministry refuses to tlx. There you have the case in a nut shell. It Is ofu'u said that there was a bargain between the crown und parliament when the queen ascended the throne , by which the crown lands wore coded to tbo country and tbo country in return agreed to provide for 11 the royal family , but then comes In another ugly controversy. What do you mean by crowning lands ! What made theme o , and I it a fact that they really be longed to tbo people I It it very ill < Judged to drag all uch matter ! upon the carpet. When once the whole subject Is thrown Into the political arena for nil parties to fight over , there Is no naylng what may appcn or who may get badly hurt. The best friends of monarchy nnd the most oyal subjects of the queen arc these who vould gladly have seen the Issue postponed , admit that it could not bo deferred any ongcr , but it might have been managed vlth moro tact. Next week wo shall bo In ho thick of the contest , for the com till t ten is round to make some sort of a report. Will ho ministry take the risk of going before parliament wltn the admission that It has to mcountor the opposition of Gladstone and ho entire liberal party } Will It do his after it lias become notorious rious that some of his followers ire disposed to act eoncrously toward the crown and nrrango a fair compromise ! Yes , t Is quite possible that It will do so unless omo common sense steps In and takes com- nnnd between now nnd Monday at half past 2. when the committee will meet , most > robably for the last time. The ncck-or-nothlng supporters of the jovernmcjit intw spur them on. They may ilustor about nailing their colors to the nasthcud , and shout no surrender till they are hoarse , but there will bo a day of reck oning , and then it will bo rcgrcttou that moderate counsels did not prevail. Lot us oven now hope that nt the eleventh hour hey will prevail , before Irreparable mischief - chief Is dono. A MEXUIEII OF PAULUMKXT. * FASHIONABLE PAIU3 VACATES.

Ono of the most startling murders was com- mitcd in the Hue Lionaparto last Monday night. Mine. Kulino , a respectable con- cicrga of about sixty summers , was seated in her lodge shortly after nightfall , when three men , who had previously been ob served prowling around the house , entered the room and cut the ill-fated 'old woman's throat before she could utter n sound. It must have been immediately after the mur der that Mile. Ciiado , the servant of Sena tor M. Fcguerr , who occupied an apartmon t on the flrst floor-passed by the lodge.

After un interval the woman opened the door to outer , but seeing three disrepu table looking men in the room she ran bank to the street shrieking. The murderers Jumped through a window and quickly disap peared. A male neighbor now joined the alarmed servant , and together they found Muio. Kuhno lying on the floor with her throat cut. Ttio arm chair In which sue hud probably been sitting was overturned , the other furniture had been pulled ubout in the haste made by the murderers in searching for the money which they thought the con- clcgo would have received from the Inmates of the house.

Sazurn , a widow lady of easy moans , was found lying senseless in her apartment wilh outs and gashes on her throat nnd neck. The would-be murderers had been startled by the neighbors und fled before accomplishing their purpose. No traces of them have been discovered. MURA.V I1AL8T15AD.

Nothing has been heard from mo on the subject for the reason that I was ill when the nomination was sent to the senate by the president. I was ill for four weeks , and knew very little about what was going on at the time. I uli not have brain fever , as was re ported. When I began to pay at tention to the subject of the senate's nc tion , my friends bud said all that was necessary. ,4'Tlia original cause of the trouble came "through Senator Payne , father-in-law to .gdc'rotary Whitney.

" 1 feel very much interested in the Onlo campaign , and have no doubt of the triumph ant ro-elerttou of Fornkcr , I feel that I may render some assistance in making , the Coin incrcial Gazette a warm , effective campaign paper during August , September and Octo bor.

Payne's friends know that if an investigation came U would bo ruin to him and them. Therefore , thoj had to find some moans of evading , and the thing decided upon was to make it n persona matter with mo. Therefore , Instead of debating bating what Payne bad done , they debate * , what I had said , whloh was an injustice tc inc. lustcad of the election of Payne , They obatod my literary career and extravagance f language.

Later hornet the Indians in a general council at the pavillion where ail present who desired could ask questions and have made clear any doubtful point.

This con sidered quite a concession. General Crook told them that ho had no power to chance the bill , nor did any ono short of congress , but thut they might take .their land In sever ally south of the Cheyenne river. Alltbo Indians could como on the land south of l\\o \ \ river and take land there , while still owning the land above in common.

The sultan received Count Rtvlowltz , the German ambassador , on Wednesday , and ar ranged for the reception of Emperor William , whoso visit to Constantinople depended upon the porto's conclusion of nn entente cordlalo. The negotiations wore accelerated by the gravity of the situation in Scrvia. The cabinet council held In Vienna on Thursday debated whether the time hcd como for military Intervention by Austria. The war minister reported the arming of the Servian reserves on masse. Russian ofllccrs , tie said , were engaged In In specting the fortresses , barracks nnd depots in Scrvia.

The council declined to wait-until Count ICalnoky influenced the reappearance of King Milan in Belgrade. The partisans of King Milan Tire eager for a civil war-in order to crush the Russians. If it occurs King Milan wll < Invoice Austrian assistance and thus give' tCalnoky ground to interfere. The interview at the foreign office between Count Herbert Bismarck nnd M.

Count Her bert intimated that the German reply to the Swiss vote , though denouncing the existing treaty settlement , would invite early negoti ations for n now treaty. The toner of the re ply would bo so friendly that Count Herbert was confident the Swiss government would consider the hostile phase of the dispute closed.

[ Now York Herald Cable Special to TUB Biu.J Since the heavy rains of Sunday last , which went far to spoil the pleasure of the holiday * makers on the national fete , the weather has been unusual ly cool for this season. Td-day it is again oppressive , with the wind In the southwest , nnd every appearance of mi approach hit ; storm. The police are still without a clue to the murderers of the old woman , ICuhn , tha con- clorgo in the Kuo Bonaparte , who was strangled Monday night. Goran , chief of detectives , said yesterday that he has every hope that his men nra on the right track , nnd will shortly have the criminals under look nnd key. The old conclergo was evidently murdered by persons who sup posed that she had collected the rents for the expired quarter from the tenants of the house. Fortunately for the landlord she had not dona so. Several arrests are made dally , but until now without practical result. Among the persons arrested to-day was a youth nloxnamcd "Toatlllard , " who hud scars upon his forehead and broken thumbs , just as hud ouo of the suspected persons seen in the house. ' When confronted with witnesses they said that although bearing n strong resemblance to the man wanted , ho was not the same Individual. Besides , " Toatlllard was able to prove an alibi. When asked by the police commissioners where ho lived , ho replied In the Hotel dos Pontros , nnd earned his living In an honorable manner washing dogs in the Seine. Some times ho earned as much as 1 franc and 50 centimes a day. Upon being questioned by the police officers as to where the hotel was situated , ho re plied that it was upon the embankment near the river. This was found to bo the case. Between the bridge Saints Peres and the bareo landing exists some scaffolding. Amongst this n number nf young gamins had fixed packing cases nnd made themselves rooms , furnished with old straw matts. They cen went so far as to lot lodgings for the moderate price of 2 cents a night. Goron seems convinced that this murder , like that of another old woman committed the following night , was by BO mo precocious boy murderers. His llrst impression wus thut the sumo hands committed the two crimes , but this has been proved not to bo the cnso. The second attempt was not suc cessful , and the poor old coachman's wife , although half strangled and much knocked about , wus able to designate the assailants , who wore bovs she had befriended to the best of hnr ability.

The Field savs it Is by no means certain that any American would compete for such a cup under the Ordinary rules governing yachting in Great Britain , and considers it doubtful if Americans would compote under their own conditions , as two American challenge cups the Capo May and Brcnton's reef cups have been on this side of the water four years. Ono is held by the owner of the Gn- ncsta und the other by the owner of the Irox. These cups nro hold under conditions made by the Americans , who also selected tba course , vet no American is sulllcicntly spirited to challenge for thorn. The u [ old thinks 1,000 too much and says the fate of tho"Dunravon tureen" should bo un example of what may bo tlio fate of a perpotua challenge cup , Tlio Field regrets to suy that the American cup "Seems to have almost en tirely lost its importance. " It rather ex pects the new challenge cup started by Boston yachtsmen W > eventually extinguish the American cup. Should the Yulkyrio win the Boston cup , all the challenge cups of American manufacture will bo held by British yachts. Doubt Is expressed that the Valkyrie could win from the Katrinn or Titania , which the Field considers "Ro- markabla vessels In an ordinary match.

There were two mutches , ono for vessels over forty tons ratIng - Ing , and ono for those rated under forty. The Paradox was entered In the first class , and started with the Wcndur , Gudrun , Sloutlihound and Vol au Vent. The new lugger made a false start , and wus fully thirty minutes behind the rest before she came round the buoy. There wus tcarcely any wind at the outset , but about mid-day a breeze sprung up which freshened Into half a gale before the finish. The Paradox never Improved her position , but gradually fell away , and about 1 o'clock dropped out of the race. She carried two big sails , a top sail and jib , and presented anything but an ele gant appearance among the other crafts.

[ Special Tele gram to Tun Ben. | Some time ago Colonel II. Clay King filed a bill in the chancery court against Mrs. Mary E. Pillow , widow of the well known confederate general , in which ho alleged that Mrs. Pillow exorcised undue Influence over him and induced him to deed a largo amount of his property to her , but that ho did so with the expressed understanding between them that she would not present the deeds for registration until after his death , which obligation nnd agree ment she had violated. The object of his bill was to got n decree vesting the title to the property again in himself. Within the past week the lady has brought a damage suit against him in the circuit court for $100,000. Supplemented to this , she filed , through her attorneys , In the chancery court this morning , her an swer and cross-bill to the bill filed by Colouol King. The bill is n very sensational one , and contains wholesale dentals of all of Colonel King's allegations und sovcro strictures upon him. Among other things , she charges that the complain ant , upon a hollow pretense , inducijd her house maid , during her absence , to pet him the deeds in question , nnd that once in his possession , ho throw them into the flro , where they were consumed , and that "every allegation of his bill putting any other con struction upon this transaction is un inge nious falsehood. " The bill further says ; "Notwithstanding the complainant wishes to destroy respondent's reputation , ho has repeatedly , in conversation with his friends in Memphis , solemnly declared her purity , In the llrst year of their business connection ho told her ho wished to got a divorce from his wife in order to marry her. Respondent dissuaded him. Afterward ho drew up a bill of divorce and sent it. to Judge Morgan , of this city , to bo tiled , and sent a copy to de fendant's son-in-law , J. S. Shield , of Birmingham. Shield at once replied that the disgrace attached to his actions could only bo wiped out with blood , mid asked for a meeting In Memphis to ar range hostilities. Respondent came to Mem phis nnd induced Judge Morgan to suppress the bill. Complainant demanded that re spondent marry him , saying that ho was a ruined man if she did not. Complainant has always avored that respondent was a chaste woman , and is under obligation to marry her on the death of Mrs. King , or on the secur ing of an Honorable divorce , " 51ILW AUKKU'8 ISNGAMPMI3 NT.

A Well-Informed Murderer. ICopvrlgM ISO liy JCIHW.I Oonlon flennnM LONDON , July 20. ( Now York Herald Cable Special to TIIK BIK. : I Ono of the most interesting nnd pi'rhnps most signifi cant poluts connected with the murder of Alice Mackenzie , the last victim of the Ripper , is ono to which intention has not been called. When the August , September and November murders wcro committed last year the number of constables on patrol duty in the "murder district" was strengthened , by a hundred extra men from the ether di visions. Those were at that time UOO men la uniform nnd plain clothes on night duty In a comparatively small area. As the excite ment lessoned the force was gradually decreased until two weeks "upo there were only forty loft of the extra nllowanco. Last Monday , by order from headquarters , the extra forty were withdrawn. On the follow ing nlgbt , the Sth , tha murder wns commit ted. This singular coincidence would of Itself - self have some value , hut added to the faut that every ono of tha murders showed n knowledge of police customs nnd rules , U must provo to the police that the field to bo covered In scorch of au assassin Is not largo , nnd is probably within the Whltcctmpol dis trict. The celerity with which the Ripper accomplished his purpose after the with drawal of the extra police might bo accepted as evidence that ho was waiting1 for such nil order , and the moment the order was given ho was aware of the circumstance. The ox-pollccman is at times a doubtful character , because no man is discharged from the force without good cuuso. The in formation of police matters possessed by the Ripper seems sufilelent grounds for an In vestigation of such ex-members as spend time in or about Whltechapoi. In hunting for clues tha police display much patience , if not much Intelligence. Absolute lick of the trail has a paralyzing affect on every man , woman or child , whllo every story tending to throw light on the murders Is listened to , but without ndvantaga so far. Brodie , the man who walked into tha station and said ho had committed the murders ho did not appear to know whether eight or nine- was given a hearing to-day. The testimony ; of the lodging housekeeper was that lirodlo was In his room from 11 o'clock Tuesday1 night until noon Wednesday. Brodio provodj untruthful on ether material points also , blithe ho insisted so strenuously that ho was the Ripper that he was hold on his own con * fession with being the murderer of Alice Mackenzie , though the charge against him was a wandering'lunatic. Ho said to the magistrate : "Do I look like ono. I am ns sane us any man in this court , I can assure you. " His appearance belied his words. John Royal , the man arrested on the charge of attempting to dissect Nora Brown , on the Surrey side of the Thames this morn * Ing , was remanded for n week. Nobody thinks ho is the Hipper. Everybody is still talking of the Ripper aril the smooth style in which ho docs his a\yful work. Many persons are under sus picion , but day by day the number lessons.

Much of the moro re cent crop news is of n favorable nature und grain men In the Twin cities Jure much re joiced. From Isolated towns nnd villages over In Dakota reports have been sent of tha total or partial fuiluro of the wheat crop , but the reports from the whole northwest do not warrant such broad statements as to the condition of the crops. Grain men who have just returned from trips over the territory say there will bo probably two-thirds or three-fourths of the avcrugo crop In Dakota. It Is generally ac knowledged that the condition of affairs In Minnesota Is much more favorable. This state has had considerable rain at the proper times , and the fields nro generally reported in line condition , although In u few sections the crop will fall n little short of tha uverugo. Within the past few days good rains have fallen in immv Darts of the northwest , nnd In flomo Instances , at least , the rain huj been , not too lute to bo of benefit. Western Wis consin nnd northern Iowa also send in favor able returns. PKHIBI1 THIS THOUGHT. The Northern American .Halt Com pany In Not a TriiHt. New YOHK , July 20. The Northern.
