BITTER FEELING IN BRITAIN. Party Lines in England Being More Closely Drawn. EVERYTHING ELSE LAID ASIDE. Interest Centering in the First Cabi- Yiet Mceting to be Held Thurs- day—The Slanders About Mrs. Mackay. Party Feeling Hi, (Copyright 18% by James Gordon Bevnett.] Losvox, Nov. 1—[New York Herald Cable—Special to the Brr.)—Seldom has party feeling run %o high in this country as at the present moment. It enters into all ro- lations of life and is greatly affecting the mugicipal elections now commencing through- out England. O'Connor, on . behalf of the N ational league, calls upon Irishmen in Eng- land to vote only for Gladstonians in local elections. It is a questionable policy for tho league to thus dictate how English boroughs shall manage their municipal affairs and may produce more resentment than good will. If the league undertakes to choose English aldermen, town counsellor and; mayor, many wild local prejudices will be aroused and some necessarily unfavorable to the Irish party. One parallel to this intense bitterness existod in the United States just before the eivil war broke out, and seems approaching a similar state of uffairs here. The ficrce passions that have been stirred #p on both sides by the imprisoument of O'Brien and other members must add fuel to the fire. Gladstonians look upon the proceedings as an outrage, while the conscrvaties hold that the government is merely acting in self-de- fenso, fighting against open rebollion. Thus households are divided against each other and everything points to the conclusion that the struggle is still only in the first stage. The disruption of the great liberal party can no longer be concealed, although the importance of the fact is denied by tholarger section which follows Gladstone. It is useless in pretending that the sccession of Hartington, Bright, Chamberlain and James is a matter of little moment. These men have a large following still, as would clearly appear inthe event of a zeneral election. ‘They control the balance of parties in the present parliament and can preventthe government being turned out for five years to come. This at least is a fact whose practical importance in English Ppolitics every child can percelvi This burnifig stute nf party fecling aceounts in a great degree for the attack on Lytton, who is generally regarded both in France and England as likely to make a thoroughly safe and disc e ambassador. His Indian policy may fairly be questioned without affecting his competency to represent Eng- land across the chanuel. He will entertain much more than Lord I ns and is sure to make himself popular socially. Very unas- suming and of agreeable manners, lik Disraeli, prouder of a literary reputati than of political standing, he is not likely to do anything to embroil the two countries and will certainly render the English emby more popular in than it has been for mal Every man of letters, as well as big politians and leaders of society, will be welcomed. He knows all the ins and outs of diplomatic life, having scrved in almost eVery cupacity. The older resi dents of Washington will still remember Bob Lytton, tho young attache, who was ever ready to scribble a verse in a lady's album or relate the latest gossip in a quiet corner in the days of Taylor and Fillmore, His wife is a niece of the late Lord Claren- don, formerly forcign secretary, and as he has always lived in an atmosphere of forcign affairs, there will be no two opinions as to his. personal fitness for the ofice. Some people may consider it « fault that he is too much addicted to smoking. A few months ago, I ‘was told, he smoked about fifty cigarettes daily, but the doctor recently cut him down %0 half a dozen. American residents in Paris will find lim ever ready to welcome them. Like his father, he entertains feelings of peculiar cordiality towards Americans. Young ladies will be glad to chat with the author of “‘Lucile.” b Although many disregard the venomous but harmless attacks of the Pall Mall Ga- zette and other rabid journals, Yates in the ‘World makes a very proper protest ugainst the treatment to which Mrs, Mackuy has long been exposed. 1 am informed that Yates has greatly understated the case or perhaps treats it with the reserve necessary in England. The fact is that Mrs. Mackay has been literally persecuted with anonymous. letters of a peculiarly dastardly description. These were followed up by a series of cun- ning attacks in the newspapers, intended to make her an object of ridicule und contempt in the s of -all Paris, especially of her compatriots. Her husband tried to track some of these slanderers to their lai and succecded in sending one to prison for two years, but still the hatePul work is carried on. The disappointed blackmailers, unable to injure Muckay, endeavor to wound him by striking at his wife, When two or three more are laid by their heels in jail this disgraceful system of vilifying an inoffensive lady will doubtless come to an end. * The first cabinet council will be held Thurs- day. Affairs in Ireland will doubtless occupy much time. The question of the reconstruc tion of the cabinet must be considered. 1 may mention that a report reaches me on good a thority that Sulisbury is at present indispose to make any changes in the ministry, I have shown you that Harrington Las no desire to euter the government, but many thought Churchill would be invited to return.

But for this action of the New York Herald we might in a few months have had the Tortilla scheme brought over here and under the auspices of a few titled guinea pigs foisted upon the British public at fancy prices.

Remarkable Story of an Escaped In- sane Asylum Patient. A special dispateh to the Globe-Dem- ocrat from New Haven, Conn., October 28, says: A young woman, apparently about twenty-five years of age, hatless, barefooted, and with the remnants of a tattered gown clinging to her almost nude form, has been” scen for the past two years wandering about the swamps and woods in the neighborhood of the town of Branford. Who she was,where she came from, how she lived, or where she slept nobody seemed to know, but the mystery was fathomed to-day, and a remarkable story it is. » She has been seen chiefly by hunting parties. As soon as any one” would attempt to approach her she would run away as fleetas a deer, leaping over fences and under- brush as deftly as an antelope and m) teriously disappearing from view among the infricacies of the swamps, where none could follow. The authorities of Branford finally decided to investigate, upon being urged by some christian’ women. Se eral parties have been sent to Towne: Swamp, which was known as the girl's principal retreat, but_ they always re- turned empty-handed. They reported that they had met the wild woman but onee, and that she had talked with them from a distance, appearing less fearful of their presence. The id she talked to them in a wild and silly fashion, in- terjecting every word withaloud laugh, making what she d unintelligible. To-day another party went out with the determination that they would captur the woman before returniy nd th did. They came upon her secretly, as she was sitting on the ground in a field » the swamp eating some nuts, The te struggle. succeeded in quieting ! fought like a wild 2 ng every one who cume near her with her long claw-like fingers. Her strength was something remarkable. She drew blood from two of the party, and, when she saw the blood from the injured members would laugh in a wild manner and clap her hands in delight. She was bound hand and foot and taken to Branford by force where she is temporarily cared for at the town house. She was seen by the Globe-Democrat — correspondent. to- night. . She would make no sound, and would make wild attempts to break from the room. She had been given clothing by some charitable women, but after they wefe put on in the room she tore them to shreds, Several physicians have been to sce her, and they say she is incurably insane. Sele¢tman Thompson, of Branford, told your cor- respondent to-night the history of the girl, and & arkable one it is. It has been verified by several others. She is Kitty Clark! She was born in the town of Branford about twenty-four years ago. She grew up to be a pretty” black-cyed, rosy-checked young country lass, much admired by all the young men of the village, and the petted darling of a fond mother and indulgent father.” The story of her life from the age of sixtcen reads like a ro- mance. She became the young belle of the town. Her father was_possessed of enough of the world’s earthly goods to satisfy her every girlish whim. When Kitty was about eighteen years of age the family moved to New York city, where shortly after both her parents died. The young orphan then went to live with an unc who was absorbed in his business and paid butlittle attention to the interests of his charge. The for- tune of the family enabled Kitty to re- ceive a good education. She was a good conversationalist and could speak French fluently. As Kitty 5 pretty and of a lively disposition she became a great favorite mnong her many metro- politan admire It is the same old story of misplaced affections and confidence. When once the her ruin was qu Wd complete. She sought seclu- sion for awhile, but in the meantime h came complet hanged. In a few short months after having been de- serted she lost her reason.

Wasnixarox, Nov. 1.—[Special Tolegram to the Bik.|—Quite a number of representa- tives and senators from various parts of the country arrived to-day and are busying themselves hunting quarters for the session and looking up data for bills which they will early introduce. Congross conveneson Mon- day, December 5, which is scarcely five weeks away. Housckeeping is becoming more popular than usual and many of the statesmen will rent furnished residences or will buy homes. Most of the old ones will own their homes. A great deal of rejuvena- tion has taken place at the capitol during the wvacation of congress and much more is going on. Dust that has been accumulating during the summer months is being swept away. Carpets are being put down and paints and furniture are being touched up. New ele- vators in the house and senate wings are nearly completed. A new carpet is down on the floor of the hall of the house and the desks, at which the legisiators will sit, are in place, but the eloth puds on the tops 'of the desks are not yet on. The new carpet for the house is & bright moss-green plush with a small red figure scattered through it. It gives a cheerful look to the hall. The desks are shining with varnish. A new carpet has been put down in the file room of the house and several of the committee rooms have heen so treated, but there is much dust and dirt about the place to be cleared out yet, against the coming of congress. Senator Manderson, who is in_the has not yet located for the winter, but will likely stop at the Portland. He was with Senator Palmer, of Michigan, at the latter's palatial residence last winter while Mrs. Palmer was in Italy. None of the Nebraska members or any of the Towa delegation have yet reported their ad- dresses for the session. There will not be many changes in the forces of officers or em- ployes of either houses. Those of the senate will remain, in nearly every instance, as they 1t is stated that the only change in tue sour principle ofticers of the house will be the doorkeeper. J. B. Hurt, of Mississippi, is a candidate against Donelson, the present in- cumbent, and it is reported that he has enough pledges toelect him. Donelson is not popular among the old members and has not received much encouragement from the new ones, on account of his published financial complications and official promises. Army News.

WasmiNgrox, Nov. 1.—Governor Swino- ford, of Alaska, in his annual report says the white population is principally confined to the soutueastern section, embracing the so- called “thirty-mile trip"” of main land, which includes less than one-twentieth of the whole territor The governor says 10,000,000 is a conservative estimate of the valuable taxa- ble property in the territory Ausive of the Alaska Commercial company stablish- ments on the scal islands. The infrease, he says, will be rapid as soon as congress, by necessary legislation, gives encouragement to the settlement of public lands. The report says very little will be accomplished or in- deed attempted in the way of agricultural de- velopment. This notwithstanding there is a Ve pnsiderable acreage of tillable land in southeastern Alaska, with a soil that pro- duces the most luxurious vegetation, the fact being that no_one comes into the territory with the belief that cither the soil or climate is udopted to agricultural or horticultural rsuits, but the few experiments which ‘n made leave 1o yoom for doubt that Is except corn can be grown to per- fection in many sections, Nothing has yet been done in the way of stock raising, ul- though the winters of southeastern Alaska are much milder than those of Montana, Wy oming and Dakota and scasous altogether quite well adapted to this industry. The governor saya that wonderful results are be- ing achieved in mining, showing the territory to be rich in precious metals, The salmon, cod and whale fisheries, he says, yielded about $3,000,000 during the year. Consider- able space in the report is devoted to the do- ings of the Alaska Commercial company, which bolds a lease from the government for the fur privileges of the seal islands. The governor declares that the company does not confine its operations to these islands, but holds most of the Aleutian chain and a greater part of the main land as its undis- puted principality, that it oppresses the un- supervised natives and has reduced them to ractical slavery by paying such smull sums lor peltries that the poor seal hunters are al- ‘ways in their debt: that it has marked the coin of the country passing through ifs hands and will accept no unmarked coin from the natives: that it has boycotted and driven away honest government officers who refused to do its bidding; in short, that it is u grind- in% monopoly, that it discourages the de- velopement of the counfry and violutes the law by selling breech-loading firearms to the natives. The governor says if the contract with this company cannot be rescinded it should not be renewed.

WasniNa1oN, Novi 1.5The inter-state com- meree commission rendered a decision in the case of W. H. Smith ugainst the Northern Pacific raiiroad company, m which complaint was made that the company had been aoccus- tomed to sel! tickets to land seekers or ex- plorers at about half rates and to settlers at low rates. The commission decides that the inter-state law does not_permit the sale of tickets to any class of people at rates differ- cnt from those established for the general public. The claim that the settlement of Wwestern territories should be promoted by special facilities of transportation is proper 10 be addressed to a legislative body, but not for consideration in interpreting the' present statute. The company is able, by excursion rates open to all and by making an allowance upon the price of its land, to accomplish the desire of its objects withou!, the violgtion of the law. The Northern Pacific company is notified to desist from selling special classes of tickets at lower than the regular rates charged to the public. Public Debt Statement.

Yesterday afternoon a literary-appearing gentleman stepped up to the register of the Paxton and inscribed his name as R. L. Mer- ritt, Springfield, TIL. The gentleman strolled leisurely about the streets, and later was scen in consultation with Hon. John A. Mc- Shane, the owner of the Omaha Herald. his gave rise to a rumor that the interview between the two gentlemen had bearings on a sale of the paper to Mr. Merritt, or possibly a syndicate represented by that person. Mr. Merritt is a well known journalist in Illinois, having but a few years ago withdrawn from several years' management of the Springfield Register. Last evening a Bex reporter sought out Mr. Merrit in his room at the hotel, and was cor- dially received by that gentlenian. here is a rumor afloat,” cautiously pro- ceeded the or, “that you are about to become identified with Omaha journalism, 1s there any truth in the story, Mr. Merritt " Promptly, and without hesitation, Mr. M vitt said es, 1 have been thiuking eom thing of it. 1 camo here to look the field over." 18 it true that ye purchase of the He *I would rathe “You have are negotiating for the di" not be quoted.” met Mr. McShane, have you about newspapers,or the sale of the Herald in rl i , absolutely mothing. 1 talked with Mr. McShane on newspapers and poli- tics. o tell you the truth, I do not believe he wants to sell the paper.” “Then there is nothing to the stor, you have been negotiating for the pape “That's the truth. 1f such a story isin vogue I have been misrepresented. =~ How- ever, if asale of the paper should be con- summated the Bee will lewrn of it as soon as anyone. 1 wish to say no more.” Mr. Merritt has relatives living in the state whom he avill visit after remaining as he styles it, “a few days with Omaha's rustling people.” FIGHTING BRICKLAYERS, Lively Times at a Unic Night. Tast evening there were some lively scenes at the meeting of the bricklayers' union in their hall on the corner of Fourteenth and Douglas streets, and twice the police had to be called into the ante room. The trouble was all kicked up by some recent members of the Chicago union. The union at Chicago is a deserter from the international union, and s & consequence mewmbers of the two orgau- izations do not affiliate. Some three or four weeks ago s number of Chicago union men came here and were highly incensed because their cards were not recognized. However, they were given an opportunity to joiu the Omuha union. This they did, und ever siuce it is said ~ that they have endeavored to run things with a high band. The climax was finally reached {ast night, when ode of the Chicago men named” McGinpis, .

A bold young fellow, who claimed to have @ right to his ©own opinion, took up the gauntlet, and a freo fight onsued. The police were oalled, but as it was some time before they appeared on the scenc, the belligerents had it out. Order was finally restored, but inside of fiftoen minutes another = Chicago man be- camo deflant and a second fight en- uod. By the time the volice were on the scene again the two combatants were parted. The excitement by this time had run high, when at the suggestion of one of the men all of the Chicago members wore fired bodily from the hall and measures com- menced for their expulsion from the union. At a late hour the meeting broke up. bk, A HEARTLESS WRETCH. The Cruel Words Ho Spoke to a Beg- gar and the Answer They cited. New York Times: Ho was a hand- s0me man, as men go—a giant in frame and as straight as and Indian, but slightly disfigured by a prominent fore- ground that suggested high living. His hat was of the shiniest silk, his cloth- ing fashionablo and elegant, and his umbrella gold-handled, while a blazing brilliant nestled in the knot of his four- in-hand tie. With a firm tread and haughty carringe he issued from the Twenty-fourth street to the Hoffman house last evening and halted for a mo- ment on the granite steps. As he was about to move away a small withered hand and bony wrist were thrust before himina muto appeal for assistance. The id belonged to a woman, or rather the wreck of what had once been a woman, he was bent and aged, hag- gard and thin, and her nakedness was barely hidden beneath her tattered gar- ments. He gray straggling hair hung loosely about her seawny neck, for she ligd not even aragged hat. The bones of her face showed painfully through the tightly drawn skin, and her eyes, faded and lustreless, were sunken deeply in their sockets. The picture of mi touched not the heart or sympa- thies of the man of wealth. Raising his umbrella with a threatening ges- ture, he exclaime ““Be off, beggar; I've nothing for you. You ought to be at work earning an honest living instead of hanging around here importuning everybody you meet for money. Be off, or 1'll turn you over to an officer.” These words were magical in their effect. The poor, shattered form of the suppliant woman straightencd up to its full height, the lustreless eyes gleamed brightly once more with the light of an unutterable scorn, but the thin lips quivered with the pain that the cruel words had inflicted. There was no need of more. Her very attitude, the expres- sion upon her face, should have been ro- buke enough, but she finally burst forth into burning, passionate speech, and this is what she said: “Git out, yez dirthy blaygard. Spako anither word tit me an’ Oi’ll kleo the red nose off yez face.” SR OLD COINS. One of the Finest Collections in the Country Hidden Away. The venerable Thomas Cleneay, who was buried Monday, was in many re- spects aremarkablé man, says the Cin- cinnati Telegram. Muny years ago he was one of the most active business men of the old school in Cincinnati, and amassed a large fortune, when he re- tired to the ease and eclegance of his splendid home, where he surrounded himself with all the comforts that could bedesived, He was seventy-nine years of age at his death, but had never mar- ried. His brother’s widow and her family were his household. Mr. Cleneay had a passion for the col- lection of rare coins, and had at the time of his death one of the most valu- able and extensive assortments in this country. It was intimated a number of years ago that it was worth between #25,000 and $30,000, and since then much has been added to1t. Mr. James A. Hughes sold him a full set of silver American coins for $1,100, ana later Mr. Cleneay is known to have paid_$175 for al cent copper piece of 1793. Mr. Mer- cer, the collector of curiosities of Cen- tral avenue, has also sold him a numl of expensive pieces. But strange as it may seem no one ap- pears who ever saw his collection. Ho made it for himself and scems to have kept it entirely for his own amusement. L man, and none of his own household were ever taken into his confidence. It wasnotknown at the house whether he had a will or not. Some time since he presented several large cabinets of cu art museum, and it is believed that it was his intention to leave his coins to the same institution. They are now in the vaults of the Safe Deposit company. Persons who ought to know, say that it is one of the finest, if not the very finest in the country.
