appreciable Improvement In the'outlook for
thu winter In Iielaml. John Dillon , when
asked for grounds for his action In demand
ing the Immediate assemblage of Parlia
ment to deal with thu Irish dlstiess , bald.
"Wo waul to force the government to take
Immediate mcasureii against the Impending
danger. In my own dlaltlct In n fortnight
the potato crop was lost. There havu been
failures In ver > many places In the grain
crops and this comes on top of thu bad
brnson last year , which left the people with
out any re sources. The government should
not wait , as It Is doing , until thu famine
comts to provide a remedy. It should take
bteps by providing relief works of permanent
advantage to enablu thu peasants , to put la
spring crops next year. '
T Harrington. M. P. , who has joined Dil
lon In demandli.g an Immediate summoning
of Parliament , said. "The outlook for Ire
land Is more , gloomy than In any period
tlncu 1879. Unless remedial precautions are-
taken without delay the most lamentable
consequences must ensue. My > Informants
know what the failure of the potato crop
means tu men ami women who , even In good
jcars. have to make n continuous struggle.-
agalns poverty , thu resources ot the laborIng -
Ing population of the west of Ireland be-lim
practically nil. "
At Cape Clear Island , off the eotst noith-
vvest of Cork , a cholera outbreak has taken
place such as usually heralds the dreaded
famine fever. Replying to a telegram from
the World correspondent , James tillhooluy ,
M , P. for the district , wires from Uantry to
day : "It Is quite true. Four persons were
attacked with acute choleric symptoms on
Clear island , as a icaull of eating diseased
potatoes. Aa the potatoes are diseased
ovcrywlur1 , this sickness , unhappily , U likely
to become common. One eabo nil but piovetl
fatal and all thu victims are In a serious
condition. These poor people have to depend
mainly on thu fishing Industry to pay their
rents. At Schull the people are In a pl'Iahle
condition , and unless something Is Immedi
ately done by the government they . \lli have
to face a second 1S47 , but In Glengurlff on
Uantry bay , a tale reaches me that the In
habitants along the seaboard are In a chronic
state of destitution , attacked peilo lioally
with famine fovor. In their ptchent wful
state they nro being picked for old aruars
of rent by Loid Ardilaun , trustee of ihu lat
earl of Ban"try's ebtatu. These ai rears oil-- ; !
nally amounted to 23,000 and were boughs
by the trustees for 7,000 and havlivj already
collected 12,000 of them , they are now try
Ing at this dioadful time to extort thu le-
malndcr. " The Loid ArdlU'tn menilo-iMl it
the head of the Gulness family , who mairled
a sister of the late earl of Bantry , tncl Is out
of thu wealthiest nun living.
SCOTLAND VAKD IS BOTHERED.
Tlio Louden detectives have failed utterly
EO far to find any clew to the murderer 01
Ludwlg von Velthelm , formerly United States
consul at Santa Marta. Eight ghastly
murders pcrpctrate-d within the London dls
trlct In the last month have baflled Scotland
Yard , whoso hc'lpletHiiess to detect the per
petrators la causing much alarm. The press
lu desc-uitltiB on the failure of thu detective
force , and the suggestion Is now put forward
that the detective department should be
augmented by a dozen or bo educated men of
pioved analytical ability , not policemen ,
who should bring thulr Intellects to bear or
umavelliiK such mysteries as those nnvv
agitating London.
Madame Nordlca U now qulto recovered
fiom her leccnt grave Illness. Speaking to the
correspondent ycsteiuay , she was asked
vvhetner her volco was affected. "This U
thu first 1 havu heard of It , " she tald. "The
effect has been qulto the ruverse. My volet
got u forced reiit for six vveeki which It
would never havu had otherwise. I < i sutc'

leaves for America on October 2 to fulllll
an engagement to sing In over forty i-mueiu
In three mo'iths. By December she will hav
reached Pan rrinclsco. and shu Jokingly
added "I may go on to Klondike. " Thu fair
mngslress never looked better In her life
The shipment of gold to New York having
become an accomplished fact flnunclal experts
Jiero aiv at their wits' end to discover ictisons
why H need not bu uxpc ; tcd to continue.
The Statist takes Its usual leve-l-headeil view
of the situation , saying : "It Is not easy to
judge evep now whether the shipments to
New York will bo latge. The Imp csslon
prevails that llieio U no debt duo from this
country to the United state's and apparently
New York ogives with the city In this. If
Europian operators take any largo patt In
the speculation In American recurltles , un
doubtedly Europe will be Indebted , and U U
possible to send gold on a large ecalc. The
luobablllty U If the market remains compara
tively fajy and If rates do not rlnu above 6
per cent , not much gold will be wlthdiawn
from London "
n.\nV DbANFORD'S SITUATION.
Thu young duchess of 'Marlborough ' Is de
termined to do everything In regal style , fet
the has not only her special doctors , but
also thu royal nurse , a certain Mm. Green ,
who always utleiul the duchess ot York
This vvlso Ionian dccUrei sliu never othYlated
nt no auspicious an event , thu .Uifhesii being
ko wonderfully well , while although thu baby
ekes not look a very largo child , It hat the
respectable weight ot nine pounds. They-
say It Is unlucky for a baby to the weighed ,
but tlu- duchess seems able to defy the
fates. She makes a wonderful recovery
Very rarely Is 10 much fuss made over even
the birth of a child born to the ducal estate.
Lady lllamtford , thu iluke'n mother , who Is
naturally at variance with the family uf ( lit1
husband shu divorced , Is especially .pleascj ,
tin she nan alwayv been fearful thu title
tulgbt be inherited by Lady Randolph's sou.
Lady Randolph alwajs fully oppreclatcd the
brilliant possibilities ot her poiltlon and the
birth of this child must be a great dl ppoln-
tncnt. The dowager dtiches * of Marlborough ,
hit ) grandmother. Is hugely delighted and Is
herself Informed dally of the progress of the
son and heir , while Lily duchess , Lady
Tweedmouth , Lady Sarah Wilson. Mdy Cur-
? on and others of the family arc In equally
high feather. No trouble or uxpenne has
been spared on the layette , which Is a
wealth of the lovllest embroideries , and most
beautiful lace. There Is one garment which
lian a deep transparent flounce of priceless
lacu. Another has an exquisite transparent
front , over the richest soft silk and low
Innllctfl , with Eleovcs BO elaborately done
they show scarcely any of the lawn ot which
they are nuppo ed to bo made. The dowager
cinches ; ! and Lady Uandford contributed to
the layette , but the great portion wes bought
by the duchess In Paris. As > et she IIHB
been allowed to see no outsiders , but rallers
constantly come to the house and the duke H
delight In talking about his son Is still keen.
SOME SOCIAL. GOSSIP.
Lord and l ady Craven are living a most
domestic llfo and are both entirely devoted
to their son. They were staying at Halm-
calrno with Mrs. Bradley Martin last week
when she went over for two or three days
to Inverness for the northern meeting balls.
They refused to accompany her on the plea
that they could not possibly leave thu child.
] Mis. Ftradloy Martin entertains a great deal.
Among her visitors this year have been
i Lady Arthur Wcllesly , Lady Chesterfield and
several American friends , and pretty Mrs.
j Walter WliTans , who will he more popular
i than ever when' she comes out of mourning
j and bpglna again to entertain. Mr. Wluatis
has taken the spacious Downshlro House In
! lielgravo square for a term of years.
Mrs. George Curzon writes to friends that
she Is delighted with the Scotch air and thai
her husband Is enjoying a holiday and has
| had some very good sport.
Strange rumors are afloat respecting the
origin of the report published by the Times
| and since denied , that the duke of York Itj
to make a tour of the British colonies In
command of the new faat cruiser Terrible.
The story goes that the duke Is using all
his Influence to rejoin the navy , with the
Intention of starting on a lengthy cruUe.
The queen , however , opposes his going alone ,
and wishes he should travel with the duchess
of York , but gossip In society has It that
this Is exactly what the duku does not want
to do , as he and the duchess do not hit It
off too well. The fact Is not very surprising
when the circumstances of their union are
recalled. The duke has a sullen temper ,
quite unlike his father , while the duchess
Is Imperious and resolute , and possesaes
considerable more brains and savolr falre
than be. The result Is friction , which was
especially manifest during their Irish tour ,
when the ( Inches was impatient at the ret
icent wooden attitude of the duke toward
the people , upon whom he made a very In
different Impression. They were charmed ,
on the contrary , with the duchess. The
sudden return of the prince of Wales to
England today from a visit to Empress
Frederic Is understood to he In connection
with the condition of affaire In the York
menage.

LONDON , Sept. 25. The average Hiltlsher
has come to the conclusion that he Is the
arbiter of the fate of Europe and holds the
balance of power. It must bo confessed
that the changed tone of the continental
politicians and writers encourages this belief
Prince Ulsmarck recently deprecated the
constant badgering nnd baiting of Great
Urltaln by German statesmen and writers.
As matters stand , in the event of war the
side secuilng the assistance of Great Britain
must win. In the meanwhile It Is evident
from the tenor of the speech of Lord Wolse-
ley , the commander of the army , at Glasgow
when the freedom of that city was conferred
upon him , and from the remarks made by
the parliamentary secretary for the war
ollke , the lion W. St. J. IJiodcrick , the
oauie night , that the government Is prepar
ing to Introduce a scheme for a considerable
strengthening of the army. He will probably
call for the formation of probably a dozen
battalions of Infantry , and a ( proportionate
addition to the cavalry during the next ses
sion of parliament.
The warnings have not been sounded too
soon. A telling Incident of the weakness
of Great Britain was afforded at Aldershot
during the week , when the Second brigade
of the rifle battalion left for a tour of the
colonial service anu n sojourn at Vancouver.
Though nominally a full battalion , there
were only slightly over 400 men , and the
regiment will have to be reinforced from
the first battalion of the rlllo brigade , which
Is now on Its way home.

LONDON , Sept. 25. An omclal at the
British foreign ofllcu , In on Interview this
afternoon with a tepresentatlvu of the Asso
ciated prcbs upon the sealing question , said :
"Great Hrltalu has not yet withdrawn , but
the discussion of the situation will 'go on
with the United States ambassador here. The
probable result will be that Great llrllaln
will ask that the experts' reports be submit
ted to her and she will then decldo whether
or not the necessity exists of Joining In the
conference. It thebo reports point out some
easier remedied situation , a result can bo ar
rived at by agreement between Great Britain
and the United States without the necessity
of a conference , which was only accepted ad
referendum. In .my event It Is propable the
United States will obtain as much as if u
conference was held. "
A decided sensation has been caused
In diplomatic circles here by Gieat
Britain's notification to _ the United
States that It cannot participate In the seal
ing conference at Washington If Russia and
Japan take part In It. The olllclals of the
British foreicn olllce decline to give the rea
sons for this change of policy , but they ad
mitted that the marquis of Salisbury had
notified the United States ambassador , Cfolo-
nel John Hay , of his decision in this matter ,
though the premier's decision Is not absolute
The action of the marquis of Salisbury is
all the moie surprising In view of the fact
that he accepted for Great Britain the Invl-
tation to take part In the conference with
the full knowledge tli.it Russia and Japan
were Included In the Invitation. It Is known
that the Canadian government requested the
withdrawal of Great Britain from the sealing
conference and the government unwillingly
acceded to thlfc request. In accordance with
Us policy of cultivating the friendship of the
colonies even at the risk o offending other
powers concerned. It Is thought In diplo
matic circles that Oinada's action In the
premises was Influenced by the fear that
Great Britain would be outvoted by the
United States , Kussla and Japan , whose
views regirdlng the protection of seals coln-
cida.
DOUBTS ITS TUUTII.
Gieat Britain has not notified Russia or
Japan of Ite Intention not to take part In the
conference and Its notice to the United
States was sent too late for the other three
governments to change their arrangements
Inquiries made at the Russian embassy here
show the officials were greatly surprised at
Great Britain's withdrawal , and were dls-
pixsed not to believe the news when It was
conveyed to them by a representative of the
AssoclUed press. He said the Biltish for
eign olllco. In the discussion of the arrange
ment for the confcience , had never even in
timated that dissatisfaction was experienced
at Russia's participation In the congre-s
"Appaiently , " the Russian offlclal added ,
"Great Britain realizes the Impossibility of
Russia and Japan withdrawing from the con
ference and leaving a clear field for Great
Britain and the United States. " The de
parture of Sir Julian Pauncefote , the British
ambassador to the United States and one of
Great Britain's representatives at the sealing
conference , has been postponed until October
2B , which would make him arrive In the
United States too late to take part in the
healing deliberations. Summing the matter
up , It fceems evident that Great Britain has
decided to withdraw from further discussion
of the sealing question. She has not replied
to Scciotiry Sherman's dispatch on the sub
ject , and It Is not expected that she will
maKu an answer to It. "
The noio of the secretary of state for the
colonies , Mr. Joseph Chamberlain , to the
marquis of Salisbury , giving the British con
tentions , has not been communicated to the
United States , as It was merely a domestic
public document Intended to present the
British arguments to the public without con
tinuing the debate with the United States
It was only on Wednesday last Hut the mar-
quU of Salisbury notified the United States
ambassador that Great Britain could not
take part In the scaling conference If Rus
sia and Japan participated In It.
IUI'ORTID : IN CHICAGO.
CHICSGO , Sept 25 A special to the
Tribune from Washington says : As an
answer to Great Britain , which , after teem
ing to agre to a conference between Canada
and the United States to discuss certain
phases of the Bering sea question , has de-
cllnej to bo party to the conference If Japan
and Russia aio participants , It U not un
likely that the delegations of the United
States , RUEsIa and Japan will proceed with
consideration of the questions at Issue with
out regard to whether or not Lord Salis
bury changes his mind. This may , however ,
cause tioine delay In the meeting of the con
ference.
General John W. Foster , the special am
bassador of the United Stated seal fisheries
negotiations , secured the acceptance of Hus-
ela to an Invitation to participate In the
conference during his visit to St. 1'cters-
huig this summer. Japan also tu'iit an ac
ceptance. Notification of Great Britain's
change of attitude was ucclved at the
State derailment yesterday. Lord Salisbury ,
In Ills brief answer to Secretary Sherman's
sensational note of May 10 , accusing the
British government of bad faith In the seal
fUht'rl matter , siKnlllfri lilb agreement to
thi < proposal for a conference to be held In

PARIS , Sept. 25. Major Moses P. Handy ,
the special commissioner from the United
States to the exposition of 1'JOO , has lost no
time In beginning work , although ho has
been In Paris only a fev. days. Major
Handy Is a s'sted by Lieutenant Baker , who
WAS connected with the Chicago exposition
as assistant chief of thu transportation of
exhibits , and by Colonel Clialllct-Lory who
Is secretary of the special committee. In a
conversation with a representative of the
Associated Press Major Handy made the fol
lowing statements-
"There li a rapldlv Increasing Interest In
the United States vvltfi regard to the exhi
bition of 1000. There 1 's never been any
doubt about the people taking hold of It
with enthusiasm , but public attention was
so engrossed with the presidential election ,
with nn extra session of congress , with the
tariff question , vie. , that Ihure was no time
to dnvote to the exhibition.
"President McKlnley Is very much In
terested In it and sent two messages to con
gress concerning It The reason why the
bill appropriating $5,000,000. passed by the
senate , did not go through the house Is be
cause nothing went through. It was thought
best not to open the door for the consldeia-
tlon of any question exccpt that for which
congrtEs was called together , because ( hero
were so many meritorious subjects exerting
pressure. Meanwhile the United States' In
terest In the exposition Is shown by the
appointment of a special commissioner. I
am charged to confer Mth the authorities
norcto glvo un eaiui'Ht of our good will , to
secure ground for our exhibit , -to prepare a
report for ( President McKIuley before congress -
gross assembles , etc. Though we are late
as compared with oilier nations , we are
eighteen months earlier , than the United
States wab for cither the exhibitions of 1S78
or of 1SSD. For the latter , however , a
good deal of valuable work _ was done by our
secretary of legation , M. Vlgnaud
INCREASED DEMAND FOR SPACE ) .
"Slnco my appointment on July 27 1 have
been steadily at woik. I spent a month In
feeling the public pulse ; I did that largely
through correspondence and through news
paper publications. F.om the answers re
ceived I feel safe In saying that we shall
need more space In 1900 than at previous
exhibitions and that our exhibit will be of
a higher order of merit. I am more anxious
to eelect exhibits which will be truly lep-
re.'entatlve and characteristic rather than ex
hibits merely remarkable for their size. I
shall bo guided to a large extent by the
correspondence mentioned with tegaid to the
amount of space required , etc. I have had
peisonal communication tslth the managers of
the laiger Interests , such as the bleycle trade ,
electrical concerns , the furniture trade and
such like. Men like Pfesldent Depew of
the New York Central , President Thompson
of the Pennsylvania railway and Mr. Pullman
of the Pullman Palace-Car company have
given me personal awurance of their co-
cpciatlon. I have had overtures from the
managers of representative trades. It Is
hotter to deal with them In a classified way"
"How do you llko the classification made
by the French authorities ? " .Major Handy
was asked.
"It Is excellent , " he nnfiwered. "It Is an
Impiovcment on all preceding exhibitions.
I notice , that with gre t propriety , educa
tion Is placed first on'tho list and art also
holds a high place. "
"What success do jou hope to meet vvltb
In your capacity as special commissioner ? "
"I canrot and would not anticipate the
result fji our negotiations , but I feel sure
wo s'.all ' have all duo * consideration. Our
peo.fo have the fiiendllMt feeling for Fiance
and have great reason to be grateful to the
French republic for .tho nidgnlflccnt exhibit
It inailo In Chicago lit 1893. It gives me
great pleasure to moot again the distin
guished Frenchmen I met In Chicago and
I am qiilto sura I pan * ruly upon their co
operation. Our ambaisador , General Porter ,
left a ; most cordial note"of welcome for mo ,
whllo I was received With marked courtesy
by M. Vlgnaud , the charge d' affaires. I ex
pect to be here two nicmtUo1 and will return
In tlino to present my rcport to the presi
dent before the opening of congress.
"Since I have conio here , short as It Is , 1
have received many applications for space
from resident AmerJcaUH- Ono application
rernlved was for the 'jeprodtictlnn of the
pincess of gold mining-from day to day. I
cannot n.cntlort names,1 but It Is from one of
the largest gold miners' In the world.
EXPECTS TO JHJ SUCCESSFUL.
"I am In great hopa that the work I set
on foot In Chicago and .New York will bring
a full leeponae , so as ( o enable us to Judge

that wo can fill creditably 00,000 square

idgcs upon women In London and Its vicinity
Is unequalled since the days of "Jack the

thu perpetrators of the crimes have all balllcd
the police and have escaped without appar
ently leaving a clue us to thcii Identity , The
murder in a railroad carriage of MLu Cani | ) ,
In Tubruaiy last , the perpetrator of the
crime'1 not having been discovered , has been
followed by another railroad tragedy In

residence , Dcthalgreen , and a farmer's daugh
ter , Emma Johnson , has been murdered at
Windsor under peculiarly atrocious clicum-
stances. Her body was mutilated , atrlpped

denunciation of "jingoism , " "Yankee Inso
