GENERAL FOREIGN MATTERS | LONDON, April 9.—The government is understood to be looking forward with a great deal of anxiety to this evening's di- | vision in the house of commons. The gov- ernment majority is now reduced to 24 through the absence of the Parnellites and | several others like Mr. WilMam Saunders | and Mr. James Kelr-Hardle. | The extreme radicals are especiaily sore against the government, and it is expected | | that tomorrow they will support the motion of Mr. James Henry Dalziel against the | house of lords. The governmeat’s decision to retain Ugan- da is causing further dissatisfaction among the radicals, and the result is that urgent whips have been sent out by both parties. THE KAISER LEAVES VENICE. | Euthusiastic Greeting of the German | Emperor by the Italians. | VENICE, April 9.—Emperor William and King Humbert left the palace at 8 o'clock this morning and were cheered by enthusi- of embarkation. As the Emperor of Germany and his host Von Moltke a salute was fired from the Italian warship Volturno and the German anthem was played. ‘The quays were brilliantly decorated and an immense fleet of gondolas, covered with flags, assembled to witness the departure of the German Emperor. The Von Moltke left for Malmacco, es- corted by the ironclad Volturno. King Humbert starts for Florence tonight and will arrive there at 5:30 a.m. tomorrow. | Soon after the king's arrival at Florence, in company with Queen Margarete and the_ crown prince, he will visit Queen Victoria. CHOLERA’S ALARMING SPREAD. Two Sudden Deaths Yesterday at Con- stantinople. CONSTANTINOPLE, April 9.—Cholera is spreading here in an alarming manner.

As a result of the death of the servant | the Greek legation has been removed to | Therapia, about seven miles from this city. WELLMAN REACHES BERGEN. The Washington Party to Leave To- night for the North. BERGEN, Norway, April 9.—Mr. Walter Wellman and his party of Americans, from Washington, D.

All the party are in good health and confident of success. “sCcOoTT” TELLS HIS STORY. He Exculpates Monson for Complicity in Lieut. Hambrough’s Death. LONDON, April 9—Edward Sweeney, otherwise known as “Scott,”the man whose | name has been so prominently connected with the Ardiamont mystery, and who re- cently surrendered himself to the police, has been writing a so-called history of the events at Ardlamont which ended in the death of Lieut. Hambrough and the sub- sequent trial of Alfred J. Monson on the charge of murdering him. The Pall Mall Gazette today publishes from this history an account of the inci- ents involving the death of Lieut. Ham- brough, and they agree with the testimony | of Monson, completely exculpating the lat- ter from all blame. The police, as already cabled, refused to | hold “Scott,” as the warrant against him | had expired. General Foreign Notes. MADRAS, April 9.—A British force is to be sent in pursuit of the Moplah Moham- medars who have been guilty of a mur- Gerous ettack upon Hindoos of the Mala- bar district. A. force of troops recently overtook thirty- five of the Mcplahs, who were retreating, and summoned them to surrender. In re- ply the fugitives made a furious charge on the troops, and a fierce fight followed. The result was that thirty-three of the Moplahs were killed and two were wounded. LONDON, April 9.—The Commercial Cable Company cnnounces that th? Bra- zillan goverrment now prohibits private letters to or from the state of Sao Paulo.

Continuing, Mr. Carlisle said that the jury could examine the Wessie Brown let- ter, and they could never find such marked similarities as had been pointed out as ex- isting in the letter in question. The First Meeting of the Parties. Coming down to the first meeting of the two parties at the Wesleyan College, he spoke of the differences that existed be- tween them in point of age, experience and education, He then read from the record to show the stater ents of the plaintiff made on March 16 in this trial, and re- | ported at the time in The Star, describing the first visit she had from the defendant. According to her he stated at the time of the visit that he came in response to her letter. He spoke of their being in a public place and their liability to interruption, and sug- gested that they get-up some sort of re- lationship between them so that they could go out together. riage ride was also given. Then Mr. Car- liste read the defendant’s account of the same interview, which was much larger and in more detail’ than Miss Pollard’s story. According to Mr. she told him then about the arrangement with Rodes to give her support and eduea- tion on condition that she should marry him. At this point Mr. Carlisle commented upon Mr. Breckinridge’s levity on that oc- casion, when he laughed at her fears that he could be compelled to marry him. It s only natural that a lawyer of twenty- seven years’ standing should be amused at ers in a contract of marriage, but it was not surprising that a young girl who had, to- gether with her mother, signed a con- tract to marry, should be frightened when he made a threat to resort to law to make her keep her promise. « Continuing the reading, Mr.Car! from the record of Mr. Breckinridg: mony down beyond the point where he stated that she told him that she had been misled by Rodes as a “proof higher than intention of fulfilling her part of the contract. Mr. Breckinridge then urged that the proper thing for a girl in her position to do was to marry the man, boarded the boat from the German warship whether she loved him or not. Mr. Carlisle | Mr. Hill began his speech, disclosing his to this part of Mr. | referred caustically Breckinridge’s testimony as showing that he had to make four ineffectual attempts to leave the room before the conversation was concluded, but was unable to get out, as he was detained, quite against his will, by this young girl, who chanced to be sit ting between him and the door. That Carringe Ride. So far as the disclosures about her rela- tions with Rodes were concerned, Mr. Car- lisle said, the two statements made by the plaintiff and the defendant as to this meet- ing were diametrically opposite to each other. However, they both agree that the evening of the drive was a hot and sultry one, and that he came for her in a closed carriage. She states that she asked why he had brought such a vehicle on a hot night, and he gave as an excuse the con- dition of his throat. All this he denies, but never to this day, on the stand or elsewhere, has he explained the reason for his act. “It was simply an inadvert- ence that led to important consequences, like so many others that have been dis- covered in the course of this trial.” The only excuse or explanation of his conduct in the carriage given by him was that she took off her hat and laid it on the seat and that he took libertles with her because he was a man of passion and she was a woman of passion. All this the defendant had asked the jury to believe. The plaintiff, on the other hand, had told of his efforts to overcome her scruples. He flattered her, cajoled her—he a man of the | werld, xccomplished and skilled, and she an innocent girl, ignorant of the world. For a man like W, C. P. Breckinridge to come to the school to see Madeline Pollard, the daughter of a Kentucky saddler, was of it- self the most pleasing sort of flattery to a young school girl. He, by his eloquence and earnestness, had swayed vast audiences of people. What might not such a polished, brilliant man accomplish when the theater | of his action was confined to the narrow confines of a Cincinnati hack and his audi- ence restricted to one unsophisticated young woman? Yet she had denied flatly that he had overcome her on that evening ride in the hack. On this matter of seduction rest- ed much of the importance of this case, not only from a sentimental point of view, but also on the assessing of damages, as laid | down In the instructions of the court. Maj. | Moore had testified on the stand that dur- jing the first interview in his office Mr. | Breckinridge made the statement that the | first night he ever knew the plaintiff he took liberties with her person and stayed with her the second night with her consent. The jury would note that Mr. Breckin- ridge’s account of the beginning of the re- lations with the plaintiff rested only on his own unsupported statement, while the plaintiff's statements throughout were sup- ported by other and reputable witnes: The statements made by him in the presence of Mrs, Blackburn he now claims were made with the intenyon of deceiving her, and that Miss Pollard knew they were made fot this purpose. This matter of the in- terview before Mrs. Blackburn placed him between the two horns of a dilemma, upon one or other of which he must impale. He must either say that Mrs. Blackburn's testimony was false and not true, or admit that what he said to her on that occasion was false and not true. He had chosen the latter alternative. He had sworn on the witness stand that what he said then was false and not true. What credibility, he asked, what credibility could attach to che evidence of such a man? Where could they say the false left off and the true began? His Indorsements on Her Papers. After eight or nine years of such rela- tions as existed between them it became necessary for him to make certain state- ments about her on his word of honor on papers of application to the civil service commission, Knowing what had been be- tween them he, over his own name, made the statement that she was a woman of moral character and good repute and one whom he could trust. If he had done this because he realized that she was a good woman except from him and that she was of good repute, as all her secrets rested with him alone, to whom she had cons crated her life, then his actions might be understood and his motives therefor. But no! He now comes upon the stand and testifies that she was but the common Rome. LONDON, April A bag belonging to | the British Columbia Bank, No. 60 Lombard | street, containing {7,775 in bank notes and | bills, was stolen on Saturday from the coun- | ter of Smith, Payne & Smith's Bank, The | | plaything of his pas ion. His actions here and before Mrs. Blackburn were such as to cause every decent man to revolt.

Mr. Alarm — Feel Hill's Speech Causes Serious = of Bitterness Be- tween the Factions Increasing. This was a day of extraordinary interest in the Senate. The galleries were crowded | with people drawn by a curiosity to hear the speech of Mr. Hill on the tariff. There was also a large attendance of Senators. The gravity of the situation, as affecting the fate of the tariff bill and the serious consequences, both to Mr. Hill and to the democratic party, which may follow the declaration of Mr. Hill’s position, added an element of excitement to the interest felt in the developments of the day. Fears of Defeat. There is no attempt on the part of the advocates of the tariff bill or on the part of democrats generally to conceal their apprehensicn that the tariff bill may be def-ated in the Senate. For some time (there has been a feeling of uneasiness, | but the democrats have been clinging to the belief that the exigencies of the case, the necessity te the party that a bill should pass, would force those democratic Senators who are opposed to the bill to finally permit its passage. Confidence in the foundation for this faith has gradually gruwn less and 1 until now there is a general feeling of ap- prehension and depression. The belief 1s growing that both Hill and Murphy, if pot other democrats, will persist in’ this opposition to the bill to the last, even after their opposition must be open, and that other democrats will, with more or less in- direction and lack ‘of directness, impede the progress of the bill, is the occasion of the increased alarm. Serious Consequences Are Expected. This apprehension was increased when purpose to fight the bill openly. What may come of this speech, and what may develop out of the situation is a matter of specula- tion, but serious consequences to the demo- cratic party are expected. The feeling of bitterness on the part of the advocates of tariff reform, directed toward those mem- bers of the party whose action they regard as treacherous, is becoming almost personal in its character. An open rupture Mm the party, the severance of long established re- lations, and what not, may follow. Two Important Incidents, There were two incidents in the Senate | before Mr. Hill began his speech which | have important bearing on the situation, and a vote is expected tomorrow which may disclose what is to be the fate of the tariff bill. First, Mr. Harris asked unani- mous consent for the daily sessions of the Senate to begin at 11 o'clock and last until 5. Messrs. Aldrich and Frye objected, and Mr. Aldrich stated the position of the re- publicans opposing this proposition 9s a thing unwarranted, and stating that the minority did not propose to filibuster unless driven to it by the democrats. The Vote Tomorrow. | Mr. Harris then put his request in the form of a motion and at the suggestion of Mr, Lodge it went over until tomorrow. When this vote is taken it will be regarded in the light of a test vote and the friends of the bill expect to make out the enemies from the brush. But if the motion fs car- | ried it does not follow that action on the | bill will be hastened. Just before Hill took the floor for his speech the Peffer bond resolution was sent to the finance committee. TRANSACTING BUSINESS. | A Little Breeze in the M, P. Conference This Morning.

Another large party of winter residents of the Zoo will leave this afternoon for Phila- delphia to join the menagerie of Forepaugh’s circus and from there journey all over the United States during the coming summer season.

With a little imagination the spectators could see tears gather in the eyes of several of the denizens | of African wilds as they were forced from | the comfortable domiciles where they have | felt quite at home during the cold weather.
