Gladstone's appeal for justice to Ireland and reconcilia- tion with the Lrish people has been auswered by an unmistakaole refusal. But Scotland and Wales, to their honor, have pronounced in favor of yeace and jusiice, However, there is ONE GLEAM OF ROF amid the shadows of defeat, The popular voto in Great Britain in favor of home rule has been enormous, One million British citi- zons Lave recorded their opinion in the ballot boxes that Ireland should be granted home rule. This marks clearly the great strides made by the home ruls movement, aided by tuepublic opinion of the world. When the number of voters who have declared against Gladstone's plan fsexamined, itis found that only eleven hundrey thousand have deelared agalust that particular form, NEARLY TRIUMPHANT, A change of oue vote in every twenty-one volers would bave wade Lowe nite trivmph- ant along the whole line. When back to the state of public opinion Britain on this question only two the progress made seems marvell ing here to-day with an_experien politician, he stated that in his belief the trivmph of home rule was certain within a short period if only the Trish people kept cgol under defeat and proved themselves capable of intelligent sclf-control, MO EDUCATION From T have o progress of the electoral campaign in Sec land I am convinced the working need only a little more education on the sub ject of self-zovernment for freland to induce them support a satisfactory scheme for establishing a parliament in Dublin, Had the election been postponed till October Sco land would have given a majovity of fifty Gladstonians instead of a probable majority of thirty.

THE SMALL VOTE ACCOUNTED FOR. This is ounted for, first, by the loss of votes owing to the abstentions of discon- tented liberals; second, the loss of votes by workingmen's removals, as just stated, As 1 predicted, the prineipal losers in the pres- ent light bave been the wh ceders, they being Literally smashed between he Gladstonian radicals and the tories, entirely to the profit of the latter. The feeling against them in the liberal party 1s bitter, and also what is popularly Known as “THE CHAMBERLAIN GANG,” Onall sides one hears declarations of ha- tred and promises of vengeance on all the seceders at the next election, which men be- gin already to look forward to, apparently forgetfui of how many tricks the tovies may play on their simple allies by the aid of Hart- ington—the news of whose electison is just recerved—and Chamber 5 The tories are now m the position they intrigued with the Lrish party at the last elec- tion to secure.

The royalties formed principally the opening quadrille, entitled, “Le Prince Charman,”and in this Miss Cham- berlain and the Countess of Roseberry had a place, ! COUNTESS ROSEBERRY'S TOILET. The latter wore a skirt of white satin, e with fine white silk and tulle, covered with tracings of the finest spider-web em- broidery and gold thread. The train was plain white satin, trimmea with puflings of white gold and tulle. A pointed low bodice, with fold V' shaped bertha of the same tulle, and white teathers in the hair and dia- mond ornaments completed the attire, HOW MISS CIAMBERLAIN DRESSED, Miss Chamberlain wore a white tulle, the entire front covered with bouclettes of cryst: and pearly beads that formed like a biliow mass of erystal and snow. The features of this gown were the dainty little plis and tulle tflounces, on each of which were three rows of the narrowest ribbon. These went all around the skirt. The plain tulle skirt had no ornament except three wide tucks of it- self. "I tulle was over white satin and the low pointed bodice was quite simple, with a crosswise drape of the white jetted tulle. Miss Chamberlain, figuring in the opening of the royal quadrille, managed a train dressed with simple Louis Quinze style and a side wreath of red roses.

A BIG ROBBERY LEVIVED FRANCIS00, Guilty Wrotehes on Trial For Crime Committed Kight Years Ago. 0NA, July 1L-[New York Herala Cable—Special to the BEE.J—A crime which eight years ago set all Italy in a terment is again causing intense exeitement throughout the peninsula, The trains from Rowe and Florence have within the last few days brought hundreds of people to this dirty, bustling little seaport, and the local bonifaces are rapidly making their fortunes. Ordinary business here seems at a standstill, and the one absorbing subject is *'11 Processo Die Mil- lionl” TUE STORY OF THE CRIME is cne of thewost curious on record, On An the 19th of October, 1878, the Banca Nazion- ale had to send three portmanteaus filled with bank notes from their branch office at ona to their Geneva branch. The total \tie of the nofes was 6,500,000 lire, of which 2,400,000 were contained in one gray port- manteau 10 GUARD AGATNET ROBBERY accident, three bank employes, the called Mellini, a clerk named Albertine, and Tangherlini, a yporter wore detailed to escort the notes to their des- tination, In due time the escort started with their treasure. By next morning the three portmanteaus reached Genoa, were opened, and their contents examined. The two first were in order on opening. A NEAT SUBSTITUTION, In the third, however, which should have contained 2,400,000 lires, it was found that a number of pieces of wood had been ingen- fously substituted for the packets of notes. ‘The weight of the valise corresponded almost exactly with that announc The value, alas, nil. The neatness and audacity with which the robbery had been committed made it clear from the outset that it must have been planned by the bank officials, while the ease with which the plan was exe- cuted showed there must have been several accomplices, SUSPICION FET EN PERSON 1, Frederico Baceariniy 2, Mellini: 3, Tang- herliniy 4, Quirino Governatori; 5, Eugenio Paccapelloy 6. Pietro Camillucei; and especially on 7, Andrea Lorenzetti, whose brother, Edardo,was in the seerctsjof the bank, and knew the notes were to be \forwarded to Genoa, or cashi ALL WERE ARRESTED but while the preliminary inqury dragged onin the usual slow Italian fashion, Bacca- vini, who was unquestionably one of the prime instigators of the crime, slipped through the fingers of justice by dying; Mellini, about the same time, was released; and at the trial in Rome, Lorenzetti, whom public opinion had from the first branded as guilty, was, thanks to the mysterious lenieney of the judges, also released; while with the rest of the prisoners the unhappy porter, Tangher- lini, against whom the evidence quite unconvineing, was sentenced to twelve years at hard labor. THE VERDICT ROUSED A STORM of indignation and killed Tangherlini’s mother. Before she died, however, she wrote to the minister of justice denouncing Loren- zetti. After his acquittal Lorenzetti returned to his native town, Aucona, where he found himself shunned by his neighbors, e took every precaution to avoid giving the law any pretext for rearresting him but was not quite cautious enough, for 1T S0ON LEAKED OUT that he had been paying heavy sums of money away to a number of people, among them the widow Bacearini and a widow named Morelli. Moreover, Tangherlini’s friends, who traced him day and night vith the tenacity ot sieath hounds, discovered that le was strangely intimate with Mine. Gover- natori. h fresh diseovery was brought to the ears of the authorities, detectives were quietly set to work, and gradually over thirty people were entangled in the toils of the po- lice MORE ARRESTS MADE.

Thirty others, more or less implicated, were also arrested, but over half were released. ARRAIGNED FOR TRIAL, Finally sixteen prisoneys were on Wed- nesday brought up for trial here charged with being prineipals and accessories as to the robbery of the 2,400,000 lire, or receivers of the stolen money. Hours before the doors of the court of assizes were thrown open a surg- ingmass of people besieged the building clamoring for admission. ‘The court room Is very small and was crowded to suffocation. 1 had much difficulty in fighting my way to a seat, EXCIT AT THE TRIAL, Toud and ficree imprecations were invoked by the mob on the head of Lorenzeti, Loy and Governatori, the three chief prisoners, Many tears were shed over the pitiable fate of Tangherlini, who Is now on all hands ad- mitted to have been innocent. The indict- ment is a perfect monument of patience and gives an elaborate explanation of the way in which the robbery was committed, THE PLANS EPPLAINED, me had evidently been planned by Baccarini and the two Lorenzettis, On the 10th of October, 1 rdo Lorenzetti in- formed his brotherAndrea that the Banca L~ ionale would two days later dispateh the notes to Genoa, Knowlng the quality and weight of the notes, and having seen the portmanteaus in which they would be packed, Edvardo liad & portmanteau of exactly the same size made and filled it with blocks of wood. On the evening of the 20th of October the three portmanteaus were put intoa cab, Edvardo Lorenzetti, Pangherline and Albertine got inside the cab, Caccarrini, Governatoriand Andrea Lorenzetti followed them to the sta- tion in another cab, carrying with them the portmanteau with the dummy treasure, AT THE STATION Bacearini seems to have cot out and en- gaged in conversation with the cashier, Mel- lini, who was waiting for the Genoa train, While the cashier’s attention was thus di- verted the portmanteau with the wood blocks was quickly substituted for the other con- taining the notes, whieh in the confusion and flurry of the moment was easily re- moved by Bacearini and transferred to An- drea Lorenzetti, who carried it to Baccarini’s house undetectad, There, according to the confession of Goverpatori, the accomplices .
