To-morrow the inquest will probably be held or, if not, certainly Wednesday 1 next called upon Father Pennington, ‘larendon square, N. W., at a convent near by. He said: *‘I have a cable dispatch yes- terday from my friend Father Stewart, of Rochester, asking me to take charge of the funeral to-day. Pat Sheedy called and left a dispateh he had received to-day. 1t read: See Father Pennington, Clarendon square, and ask him to bury my husband and take charge of his effects until I write, (Signed.) Mus, Guanaw.” Acting upon those instructions received I have ordercd a coffin and secured a grave for five guineas in the best part of Kinsall Green cemetery and arranged for'the funeral to take place at 1 p. m, Thursday. The money found on Graham, which was about £100, will defray the cost of the funeral”” On my parting, Father Pennington asked me to remember him to his many friends in w York and Rochester, adding: I have spent some happy dags with the bishop of the iatter city.” Dohe and Graham were undoubtedly card sports, and the trouble arose in @ dis- pute over the procecds.

[Copyright 1855 Dy James Gordon Bennetl.] Losboy, Nov. 28.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to the, Bee.]—The following appears in this evening's issue of the St. Jumes Gazette: 1t is understood in the United s and this country that one motive of Gould's visit to Europe was to ob- tain the quotation of Western Union tele- graph shares on the London stock exchange, bt the distrust of Mr. Gould is so inveterate that a strong opposition is offered to the pro- posal. 1t is quite true the stock exchange, in granting this, does not pass any opinion as to the good or bad stock, but still granting this a quoting docs, as a matter of fact, give akind of status to a stock, and the feeling against Gould is 8o strong that probably the committee would not dare aisregrad it. Yot it seems unreasonable that the shares of the the reatest tel in the world should be quotation by the London exchange. A way out of the dificulty seems casy. If a syndi- cate, such as bought the contract of the Baltimore & Ohio railway company, were to be formed here in London to buy and control Western Union shares from Mr. Gould, all sons for refusing quotations would disap- r. The control of the company would pass from Gould to a syndicate of great cap- ists who would inspire general confidence, Assurance would be given to shareholders that their business would be properly man- aged and the business community on both sides of the Atlantic would at the same time, feel a confidence that no tampering with their messeges would be permitted. Assum- ing that the carnings veally average 51 per cent, the purchase, it would seem, could be made with benefit to all parties. Mr. Gould would doubtless accept payment in the 4 per ent bonds of the company and the purchas- ing syndicate would still have per cent to sinking fund or to represent its owu profit. e A Plan for Slaughtering Rabbits. [Copyright 1857 by James Gordon Bennet!,] Panis (via Havre), Nov. 28.—[New York crald Cable—Special to the Bee.]—Pas- to-day proposes to free New South ales and New Zealand of - the rabbit plague nal manner. It is well known that those colonies are so overrun with those lively little animals that they nibble all the food away so as to make sheep raising im- possible. Pasteur proposesito inoculate New South Wales rabbits with microbes of chicken cholera, which hesays will procreate even quicker than rabbits procreate and finally exterminate all the rabbits from the colonies. This idea of the inoculation of rab- bits with this terrible discase and causing the death of millions of these little nibbling amimals, has opened a field for the reflection of anti-cruelty to animals societies. The Higgins Controversy. (Copyright 1887 by James Gordon Bennett.) Liverroor, Nov. 28.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to the Bee.]—Mark Higgins who is expected to reach this city in a few days from the orient is believed to be the sub- ject of international diplomatic notes between Lord Salisbury and Sceretary Bayavd. I have just obtamed what his story is likely to be but it comes from English sources. There was no opportunity to get the narration from Amorican sources. It seems Higgins is Brit- ish, a nutive of St. Asuph, Wales, but sery- ing on board the American man-of-war Quinnebang. cho which had recently been an- d at Coustantinople, coming thither m Symrna, and at the latter port had been sentenced to imprisonment for threatening an assault upon his superior officer, Higgins threatenmg to take o marlingspike and do for him. He s not put in irous, for, when the vessel roing through the Dardanelles one nighty he provided himself with a life belt, watched his opportunity and jumped overboard. Being a good swimmer, after four hours immersion, he was rescued by a cek vessel which landed him at Rodesto, where he gave him- self up to the British cousul, explained the case and wus sent to Constantinople. Here he lost uo time in giving the consul general, Sir Henry Fawcett, a full account of the affair, claiming consular protection as a British subject. The local prints published a version which soon set the American au- thorities on his track. They made a formal application for the del of Higgins as a couvict and deserter but Sir Fawcett de- ined, on the ground that the offense for which he was sentenced is not included in the extradition treaty, The Awmerican consul suggested that the man be led out into the street where the Quinnebang men could do what they pleased. This Sir Henry would notdo. After argument the British consul's contention was virtually admitted by the United States consulate, Trade Review. Loxpox, Nov. 28.--The Mark Lane E press, m its weekly review of the British vain trade, says: Values of English wheats ure steady, The advantage is rather with sellers owing to reduced deliveries Trade in foreign wheat dull and dragging; no change In quotations.

A Meeting in Behalf of the Widows and Orphans of' De thren. NEW Yok, Nov. 28.—Cooper union was filled to overflowing to-night with people in response to a call from the federated trades for a mecting in behalf of the widows and orphans of the executed anarchists, It was an anarchist meeting through and through, red edominating everywhere, reius K. S. Sheviteh was the orator and delivered a typical anarchial harangue, embracing all the points usually made. John Brown was re- ferred to and the hanging was denounced as the worst crime in the history of America. The people, Powderly and Henry George, the speaker said, have placed themselves in line with the hangman, The object of the tragedy was to intimidate “advanced workers in the labor movement.” “Let us stand togethe exclaimed Shevitch, “‘and let us be mor fierce in our language than ever before. Let the blood of the anarchists cry out through- out the w . It is our tlag. We will raise it. We will carry it through your streets. The time is not far distant when a ional monument will be ert:l wed tn these men,” The Mofll ’l‘ ial. NEW York, Noy. 28.—The trial of Most, the anarchist, was resumed to-day. The court room was thronged. Frederick Har ing, the first witness called, testified that he went into the meeting out of curiosity and heard Most speak. He said that Most did not use the violent language charged against him. He had never seen Most before and was not an ang ist. Herman Strelitz, a reporter on the Vollki Zeitung, testihed that he heard peech and that he began with “Fel- nog ‘‘Brother anarchists,’” as Hejpsaid that Most- threaténed no immediate revenge, but accused Gary aud Grinnell as murderers of the Chic ago anarch- ists. He also accused Powderly and George of their murder for turning the Knights of Labor from the anarchists, ustay Stephen and Siegfried Rosen- weig testified that they heard Most's speech and that it did not contain the incendiary language alleged. The latter said he did n know exactly what anarchy is, although he has been studying the subject for eight years At theafternooy session Judge Cowing an- nounc ed that he had received aletter sayi SIf you charge against Herr Most ) di Death for all officers is their due. Another letter, unsigned, and con- ¢ no threat, reminded the judge that p should go to Sing Sing before Most is again imprisoned. e Chicago Anarchists 1ssuc a Circular.

For some time they have been sub- jected to grave assaults and yesterday an im- mense mob was organized in the French por- tion of the city to prevent their parading. Sympathizers numbering 400, fully armed, went down to the barracks to escort the army and if the lutter had turned out there would undoubtedly have been bloodshed The police board wrote to the army, how: ever, that they had been informed by~ deted tives that a large mob was to attack the Sal- vationists if they turned out, tnat being at present unable to afford them proper police protection the army would march, 1f at all, at its own peril. They have promised not to parade until Wednesday next, when serious disturbances will undoubtedly occur unless a sufticient military farce is called out to over- awe the rowdy element. s L LR St. John Interviewed.

Noy. 28 pocial Tele gram to the Bree]—At noon today the Burlington's first fast train for eastern points left this city with a good list of passengers and a large batch of through mail. Barring accidents, the train will reach Omaha carly to-morrow morning. This fast service on both the Union Pacific and Burlington is still an experiment, and during this winter will no doubt be frequently interrupted by snow- stovms on the plains. The step forward will be greatly appreciated by Colorado people. In speaking of the Union Pacific's fast train to-day, Frank Semple, city passenger agent, said he believed that the “time was not far distant when the Union Pacific would have a limited train, consisting of sleepers only, with time reduced still further, sconti- nental travel would be enti revolution- ized. The trains, as run now, arce rather heavy, but with additional trains the weight can be reduced, and also the number of nee essary stops, 8o that in time the crack lim. ited irains of the east can be cqualed and even surpassed.

WasmiNGros. v, 98 [Special Telegram to the Beg.]—The chief topic of discussion among senators and representatives. who have arrived in Washington is the surplus revenue and the means to be adopted to dis< pose of it. Democrats who control the house seem to be as badly muddled as they were two years ago. They are agreed on one hing, namely, “that something must be done to save the party' next year,” for it is notice= able that the more they consider the result of the late election the less confident do they feelof suceess. The most that any of them hope for is to pass some kind of revenue bill which will be “a good-enough-Morgan until after the presidential election. The recom- mendation of the president and secretary of the treasury will be framed with that end in , and the former will sign any makeshift measure which may be sent to him for his approval, 1t is settled that Carlisle is to be re-clected speaker and that Mills is to be chairman of the ways and means committes, is u sincere and nest free trad whom and Ran dall there exists the most bitter antagonism, Springer and some other democrats expect that the report of the secretary of the treas- ury will be accompanied by a draft of a bill o Teduce the Fevenies £0,000,000 or 100,000, 000 a year, among provisions of which will be repeal of the internal taxes on tobacco, radi- cal reduction of duties on netals, pottery and earthenware, cotton and woolen goods and the transfer of several hundred articles, in- cluding salt, lumber and wool, frem the dutis able list to the free list.

Senator Sherman favors the revival of the distribution act of 1847, by which the surplus could be distributed ‘to the states upon the basis of population and internal im- provements. The abolition of the tobucco tax, free sugar, und a_bounty to sugar makers would not do it.

Wasminarox, Nov. 28.—[Special Telegram to the Bre]-Judge David Tury who! arvived here from Indianapolis last night, | told a reporter to-day that he had no fear qt not being seated, becanse he held the cer-| tificate of election. . A member of the senate committee on privileges and elections says that it has been the rule of the senate for very muny years to vefer to the committeo all certificates of election which are not reg- ular and complete in every particular, and/ where there are contests, that 1o man s sworn in, be he of one political party or another, who presents a certificate not signed by not only the presiding officer at the joint! assembly ‘of the legisluture, but by the re- cording officers of hoth houses and the secro~ tary of state, as well as the governor. He docs not understand that Turpie's certificata contains these signatures, making a completo official record of the action of the legislature, and that therefore it must be examined by the senate comwittee when at the same time the circumstances attending the election and, the actions beyond it will be enquired intok It is not gencrally believed that David Turpie will take th United States senator one week from to-day.
