Another Deeming Discovered in the Person of a Young Spendthrift. MURDERED HIS WIFE AND BABE. Royalty Interested in the Coming Marriage of a Duke and a Princess. —_— LONDON, Exs., June 22.—Revelations of the existence of a system of wholesale infanticide have startled London within the last few days and caused a rigid in- quiry. It has been ascertained as the re- sult of investigation that within a fort- night the bodies of sixteen infants have been found within the area of the eastern section of London, and during the past eight months twelve bodies have been found in the same district. Most of these babies had been strangled by tying a cord about the neck or suffocated by tyinga towel over the face. One little one had a large rosebud forged down its throat to cause death. The police assert that unqualified nurses are hired in most of these cases for the pur- pose of disposing of the newly born babies. These persons, they claim, are easy to find, and are ready to do anything required of them for & fee ranging from 2 shillings and sixpence to 7 shillings and sixpence. The Coroners propose to check this evil, if possible, by a more rigid examination of naurses, but the police declare that it will be impossible to reach the root of the mat- ter without special legislation. A man named Robert Hudson, who had been arrested for the murder of his wife and child, is likely to prove another Deem- ing. He took lodgings for himself ang family on Helmsley Moor, Yorkshire. In & remote and secluded spoton the moor he the graves of his wife and child and after burying them vanished. A man liv- ing on the moor noticing the freshly turned earth, i igated and ddig up the bodies. Hudson isa young ‘and highly educated an who ran through his own and his 's fortunes. His his wife is evidenced by the fact that be- fore he killed her he advertised for an- other wife, which he did under the name of Hunter. He was tracked for five days before he s captured. The Sta and the Pall Mall Gazette contradict the telegrams from St. Peters- burg ng that the Chinese loan vontract has been signed. The fact is that China withholds the ratification. Though she is pressed by Russia to conclude the “treaty China may finally refuse to ratify the con- vention. She objects to the conditions imposed by e that further loans must be secured in Pari She also ‘refuses to” hypothecate any part of her customs revenue for the Jloan. Aceording to the Pall Mall Gazette, the reason for this situation of affairs is that on April 22-last a special Chinese envoy signed a contract with a London firm granting the Bank of England the option of arranging the great loan. The bank immediately placed atthe disposal of the authc es of Peking the sum of £1,000,000, which was drawn upon. Russia and France afterward stepped in and tried to spoil the London contract. The double- dealing on the part of the Peking authori- ties led the British Government to remind them that the customs revenues of the treaty ports, on which the loan must be secured, are already practically in the hands of the British, whose rights must be protected. With a view to fixing matters, the Russo-French syndicate tried again to .indnce the Rothschilds to join the syndi- cate, offering them £2,000,000 of the loan. This offer the Rothschilds declined. The Spa2nish Government has recently placed large orders for war material in Glasgow, Newcastle and Birmingham, comprehending the construction of twenty gunboats and a large quantity of small arms and the furnishing of heavy con- signments of ammunition. The aggregate cost involves the expenditure of £2,500,000. The Spanish Ministry of Marine has an ac- credited agent in England at the present time who is.arranging the contracts for these supplies, most of which are already under process of manufacture. Despite the profound secrecy attaching to the plans of the Governmentas to the details of the formation of a new ‘supreme military council it has transpired that it is the intention to propose the Duke of Connaught as the commander-in-chief, holding the position of chief adviser of the Secretary of State for War and the pro- posed council of oflicers. In this matter the Queen has carried her point insisting upon the observances of the precedent that a_ prince of the blood shall be in chief command of the British army. Lord Salisbury was consulted in the matter and promised the adhesion of the Conserva- tive party to the scheme. . Knowledge of this agreement alone in- duced the Government to assent to its adoption, as the proposai was certain to raise a storm, of indignation in the Radical camp, 2nd without the heip of the Tories the proposal could not possibly be put throngh. The Radicals are privately attacking the Ministry anent the report that-the Duke of Connaught will succeed the Duke of Cambridge as commander-in- chief of the British army. They bave been assured that the question is still unsettled and that Field Marshal Wolseley or General Tord Roberts is more likely than the Duke of Connaught to succeed to the comman- dership. This assurance, it may be said, is It is certain that if the ap- pointment s made when the Conserva- tives are in power the successor to the Duke of Cambridge will be the Duke of Connaught. = = Another royal appointment is projected which#i~gertain to be received with ve- hement protests if attempted, not only by the: Radicals but by a good many Lib- erals and possibly by some Conservnnyes. This proposal contemplates the nomina- tion of Prince Henry of Bat- tenberg, the ornamental husband bf the Queen's favorite daughter, Bea- rice, as Viceroy of India. Both tne Queen and the Prince of Wales have mooted the subject to Lord Rosebery, who, nxiety to get rid of | Princess Helene of Orleans, which will take place Tuesday, June 25, will be the most elaborate function of its kind that has occurred in many years. The guests will include about sixty members of royal houses, among whom will be the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Prince of Na- ples, the Prince of Turin, Prince de Join- ville, the Duke of Oporto, the Duke de Penthievre, Prince Antonio and Margue- rite of Orleans, the Infanta Eulalie of Spain, the Duchess of Montpelier and the Duchess of Chartres. The jewel given by the Duke of Aosta to his bride will rival in magnificence any royal parure. Among the gifts is a string of thirty-five large hearts, a neck- lace comprising eleven rows of pearls en- clasped with a big emerald with diamonds and a diamond necklace. Ex-Queen Isa- bella of Spain sends a diamond bracelet, and the bride's grandmother, the Duchess of Montpelier, gives her two strings of pearls and diamonds with an emerald pen- dant. The gift of the Prince and Princess of Wales is a caduceus in diamonds, pearls and rubies. The Queen of Italy sends two gold bracelets set with sapphires and rabies. Princess Helene’s wedding dress will consist of a creamy white faille skirt, bor- dered with orange blossoms, with a train three yards long, lined with white moire and a corsage made in blouse style, with three deep plaits back and front. Around the neck will be a ruffle formed of finely plaited silk gauze and supported by a num- ber oi bows and white faille ribbon. The sleeves fit close to the form with gigots above the elbow. The bridal veil will be inwrought with the arms of France and Savoy and will cover the whole dress. THEY WILL HOLD O, Continued from First Page, ticular, his eulogy of peace at the Hamburg banquet has produced a deep impression everywhere. Of the physical aspects of the great and probably unparalleled show nothing new can be said. Friends return- ing to-day, however, have stories to tell of extraordinary popular demonstrations everywhere reserved for the American squadron, its officers and men, which have not found their way here in print. It is not only that our white vessels were the most beautiful in the whole armada of the world’s war shipping, but the Germans laid themselves out all along the route to mark tneir special sense of the kinship and affection in which they hold America. This experience in German, Irish and Scandinavian waters is nothing new for our navy, but to it was given a novel back- ground at Kiel by the presence of all the other nations as observers. It is also previously reported that the French did not behave very nicely. Their officers rather brusquely declined several invitations right and left, and their decks kept a sulky silence when others were in exuberant uproar. Their ships alone showed no illuminations Thursday night. They made a point of entering Kiel harbor side by side with the Russidns, and itis understood that they are leaving in the same way. The Germans elaborately pretended to notice nothing and saw to it that the French got a full share of cheering *‘en route,” but they put away as their saying goes with a *good many things behind their ears to remember.’’ + As soon as the echoes of Kiel die away we may expect to see fresh developments of the international rivalries, intrigues and clashing ambitious which are suspended for the time being while the festival is on. Turkey has employed the intermission in ably tang'ing up the Armenian diplomatic snarl, until now nobody has the faintest idea when a definite answer may be reason- ably expected. England stands in an ex- tremely unhappy position in the matter of making her interference good. We hear renewed reports of fresh Rus- sian moves to the Armenian frontier, and simultaneously of Bulgarians and Mace- donians acting in some mysterious sort of concert to embroil the Turksin a quarrel on their Roumelian border. Every new event, as it happens, whether turning on the Turkish or the Chinese pivot, adds further elements of anxiety and foreboding to the situation. Only in the most indirect fashion can Austria’s new ministerial experiment be regarded as of European importance or interest. No outsider has ever tried to understand what the vprotracted crisis, now ending, is all about, although the Vienna correspond- ents have been explaining it daily in pro- digious detail for months, one might say years. In a general way it may be taken that the Germans inside the polyglot empire are steadily getting the worst of it. Each new parliamentary shuffle leaves them weaker than before, while the Poles, the Chechs and others by combining with the ultramontanes and the old feudalists, who, though they speak German, hate modern German, are continually getting a firmer upper hand in the State. Count Kielsmansegg, the new Premier, is a Hanoverian, who came to Vienna when Prussia overran his native kingdom, just as Count von Beust abandoned his Saxon birthright, and can hardly be expected to love Berlin. None of these gradual changes is vitally significant in itself, but their bearing on the solidity of the triple alliance may be very important later on. The spectacle of fully fifty legislators en- gaged in pummeling one another in the stairway, the aisles and over the upper benches during an ordinary business ses- sion gives an adequate idea of what parlia- mentary government has come to mean in Italy, as has been heretofore pointed out. Signor Crispi’s nominal majority of 100 insures him no real control in this crazy new Chamber and its most important sub- committees have actually organized against him. At ihe same time it'is perfectly clear that no rival politician would be able to form even a nominal majority in a body, which is equally intolerant off any author- ity, and incapable of sensible cohesion on any issue. Even the calmest Italian Lib- erals are beginning to express doubts whether it will not be necessary to try the experiment of governing without any Par- liament at all. Although cloudy weather has now set in with a promise of rains it is feared that re- lief will come too late to save England from a disaster almost as heavy as that of 1893. All over the country crops are a third of the usual yield or less. All the cereal crops have suffered terribly from fifty days of drouth, and reports show that there are thousands of acres in all parts where the expenseof harvesting will not be recouped by the yield, the fruit being badly blighted and shriveled as well. Hops have withstood the dry term bet- ter than most things, and if rain comes in the next ten days they will be all right, otherwise they will be ruined altogether. These drouths seem to be recurring nowa- under this pressure, it is mpomq, sug- gested it to his colleagues. According to reports Princess Beatrice would accompany . her German consort and establisk a royal court in Simla, which would be calcuiated . te enhance the imperial prestige in India. The marriage of the Duke of Aosta to days in a manner unknown to the England of a generation ago and they are less easily borne by the farmers because the vast sup- plies of foreign produce available prevent prices from rising as they did formerly. The attention paid to Cardinal Gibbons this week in Rome by both the Liberal and the reactionary wings.of the Vatican cleri- cal politicians who are vying: with -each other to'do him honor, has not unnatur- ally given fresh strength to the rumor that he is being seriously considered as the pos- sible next Pope. Numerous circumstantial stories are being built up around this notion, but I am assured that it'is quite incredible that there should be any foundation for them. Jules le Maitre’s election to the French Academy is very amiably related by the newspapers, because it represents strictly a journalistic triumph. But sober discussion outside of the printed page is rather dis- posed to rate as a fresh sign in literary France that it is at least reflected by the Academy in running to emptiness. One finds cuitivated Frenchmen now con- fessing the opinion that to-day London is not only painting better, but writing better than Paris, which is certainly a novel sign of the times. The disposition of all except the most earnest social reformers among the English papers to poke mild fun at the shipload of American temperance women delegates and their colossal petition has been min- istered to by the sharp difference which has arisen among the faithful themselves. These dispatches have frequently com- | mented on the eagerness with which a certain section of the English reformers of both sexes have seized on the topic of our Southern Iynchings to advertise themselves cheaply at the American expense. This was tried on Tuesday at the big annual council of the British Women’s Cemperance Association, where a Miss Balgarnie made a vehement attack on her American sisters, charging them with a tacit sympathy with lynching, which an- gered the American visitors so much that they canvassed a motion of leaving the temple in a body. A resolution was passed unanimously which amounted to a vote of censure upon our Women's Christian Temperance Asso- ciation, but subsequently on the discovery that the Americans resented what had been said, another resolution affirming ab- solute confidence in the same association was also carried.- Miss Balgarnie now writes to the papers to say that this second resolution was sneaked through after she had left the meeting, and does not at all express the feeling of British women upon the subject, The incident has greatly marred the happiness of the American delegates’ experience in England. The centennary of Burns' death, now approaching, is to be marked by a superb new four-volume edition of all his works from Consta ’s press, with annotations and an appreciation of the poet, his genius and his life, by W. E. Henley. Mrs. Waldo Richards, after a notable success in Paris, has quite surpassed all previous records of American entertainers here in London. Her recitations, particularly of James Whitcomb Riley’s poems, have given the somewhat languid season a genuine topic of interest, and the royalty and aristocracy have displayed almost enthusiasm over her work. ROSEBERY GOES TO WINDSOR. He Asks the Queen to Dissolve the Com- ‘mons. LONDON, Exc., June 22.—Lord Rose- bery went to Windsor at 7 o’clock this evening. He was driven to the castle in one of the royal carriages. The Premier’s secretary, Mr. Murray, informed a repre- sentative of The United Press that Lord Rosebery had really gone to Windsor in accordance with a previous command from the Queen, but that he would also report to her Majesty the decision arrived at by the Cabinet at its deliberations to-day. The Sun prints an extra in which it says it has good reason to believe that Lord Rosebery will tender his resignation to the Queen on the occasion of his visit to ‘Windsor Castle to-night.. The Sun further says that at the Cabinet meeting this afternoon ail the Ministers were in favor of giving up their ofhces, the only ques- tion undecided being whether they would resign or dissolve Parliament. After | further discussion it was decided to resign. Lord Salisbury received a number of messages at his London residence and afterward went to his seat, Hatfield House, Herefordshire, where Mr. Balfour, the Conservative leader in the House of Com- mons, will be his guest until Monday, | The Duke of Devonshire, the Unionist | leader in the House of Lords, is staying at Ascot, and Mr. Chamberlain, the leader of the Unionists in the Commons, remains in London over Sunday. A meeting of the Unionist leaders will be held on Monday. Postmaster-General Arnold Morley and the Secretary of State for War were sum- moned to confer with Lord Rosebery after the adjournment of the Cabinet council to- day. This started a ramor that the Min- isters will finally decide to resign and east upon the opposition the responsibility of government and make them select the time for the dissolution of Parliament. Another report has it that the Govern- ment may determine to carry non-conten- tious measures and appeal to the country later. Either course would prevent the Irish 1and bill and other important meas- ures from passing the remaining stages. It is asserted that the Irish members are jargely responsible for the present situa- tion. The basis for this assertion is that their action in compelling the Chancellor of Exchequer, Sir William Harcourt, to rescind the vote for the erection of a statue to Oliver Cromwell seriously undermined the Government. LONDON, Exc., June 22.—As the Gov- | ernment has communicated to the leaders of the opposition its intention to give first place to the army estimates on Monday it is understood the Cabinet has decided against resigning, preferring to ask the House of Commons to reverse its decision on the motion of Mr. Broderick to reduce the salary of the Secretary of State for War, on which motion the Government was de- feated last evening. If this course is fol- lowed the Government can rely on win- ning by as many votes as it was defeated last night. 5 The Unionists, in accepting the chal- lenge, will bring every man of the party to the division. Many Liberals protest against 1 further delay and urge the Ministers to re- sign or dissolve Parliament. as ho possible precautions are likely to prevent the op- position from inflicting another defeat and disgracing the party. It has transpired that at the moment of last night's division there was, according to the Liberal whips, a majority of sixteen for the Government. Subsequently the question was asked as to where the missing members were. Some of them had slipped out of the house unseen, the whips were lounging and smoking on the terrace over- looking the Thames, and others had gone away, thinking that matters were all right.’ As a matter of fact, the party was caught napping. The Liberals who are in favor of dissolution say that the san:e thing will occur again. The party, they add, cannot be kept eternally on the strain. On the other hand, there is no knéwn instance of a Government resigning on a defeat on the supply vote, and the paltry character of the snatch division, whether it was a trick NEW TO-DAY—CLOTHING.

Prime Minister Rosebery has telegraphed to Mr. Gladstone at Kiel an account of the situation. Itis reported that Mr. Glad- stone advises strongly against the resigna- tion of the Government and recommends that a vote of confidence be taken. He has communicited with Mr. Campbell- Bannerman advising him to remain in office and to support his colleagues with- out regard to his personal feelings. The Speaker states thbat Mr. Gladstone does not aesire a general election or the resignation of the Ministry. His relations with the Government are now what they have always been, that is to say, he isfriendly and loyal to the Ministry and has confidence in it. ¥ A letter from Mrs. Gladstone to friends in London represents the ex-Prime Min- ister as heing absorbed in theological studies. He devotes assiduous attention to the early fathers, and is taking less in- terest in politics. His direct communica- tions to his old associates show, however, that he still takesa keen interest in the course of political events. He regrets the action of the Lrish members of Parliament in regard to the vote for the erection of a statne of Cromwell and readily expresses his opinign on all developments if he is asked. ¢ The Central News vouches for the truth- fulness of the statement that Lord Salis- bury and Mr. Balfour were cognizant of Mr. Broderick’s motion which defeated the Government last evening. The affair was net an accident, but was skillfully worked as a secret plot and it took the Government unawares. The Central News also says there is good reason to believe at the second meetig of the Cabinet it was decided to immediately dissolve Parliament. After dinner at ‘Windsor Castle Lord Roseberry had a long audience with the Queen and advised her Majesty to dissolve the House of Com- mons. No official statement is expected before Monday. An urgent Liberal whip is out for that day. THE CABINET DIVIDED. Its Failure to Induce Bannerman to Re- t main in Office. LONDON, ExG., June 22.—In spite of the defeat in Parliameént last night the imme- diate fate of Lord Rosebery’s Government is undecided. The dissensions which long distracted the Ministers were emphasized to-day and many hours were occupied in deciding what any government or individ- ual of proper spirit would have settled in a couple of minutes. The Cabinet is di- vided virtually into two groups, headed re- spectively by Rosebery and Harcourt, the holding on, the latter urging an immediate dissolution as,tne least of several evils. It is believed Rosebery was at firstin the ma- jority. Anyhow, efforts were brought to bear upon the Minister of War to induce him to swallow his pride and agree to a white- washing process, the result of which would be to recommit all of the reduced vote and give his salary in full, always supposing the necessary majority could be obtained. Bannerman stoutly refused to withdraw his. resignation, and the Min- isters were 'in a cul de sac when a recess was taken. The Council reassembled at 4 o’clock to learn that Bannerman’s mind was unchanged, and nearly two hours more were occupied arriving at a decision. To-night the Premier’s private secretary told an unusually favored reporter that the issues involved were too grave for pre- mature announcement. Rosebery had gone to Windsor to communicate the Cabinet’s former for a continuance of the policy of | views to the Queen, and nothing could be made public until after her Majesty’s pleasure had been- communicated to Par- | liament. Despite this reticence some be- lieve that the Government braced itself up to the manly action of dissolving Parlia- ment at the earliest possible moment. It is needless to say that the necessary busi- ness of the country, such as voting the supply, must be completed. But as soon as that is done the long-awaited appeal to the country will take place, as there is no Teason to suppose the Queen will refuse to comply with the advice of her Ministers, WILDE'S HEALTH IS GOOD. The Esthete Furnishing Splendid Motive | Power for a Treadmill. LONDON, ExG., June 22.—The weekly | report of the Governor of Pentonville Prison, where Oscar Wilde, the erstwhile | esthete, poet and dramatist, is now lan- guishing in durance vile, confirms the | previous circulated denial of the assertion that the noted prisoner had lost his mind. The report says that Wilde's health has been - so robust that for the past three | week he has been furnishing motive power for a treadmill, in accordance with the usual custom, and that he will shortly be put at the hard task of bag-making for the remainder of his term. His conduct is re- ported as exemplary, which, if continued, will entitle him.to release four months prior to the expiration of his two-year sen- tence. He will not he allowed to see any of his friends until the latter part of Au- gust, and then only a limited number and for a very short time. Notwithstanding the heinousness of ‘Wilde's crime, there is a marked tendency on the part of the public to regard him with more or less pity, inasmuch asitis generally admitted that he has been made a scapegoat, and that the crime for which he has been incarcerated is so far from | rare that a wholesale application of the drastic methods applied in his case would involve many who now affect the most profound contempt ior the dethroned | litterateur. e~ o HONORS FOR GULLY. Members of the North Judicial Cirewit Dine With the Speaker. LONDON, Exc., June ‘The members of the Northern Judicial Cirenit, including the Lord Chancellor, the Lord Chief Jus- tice and other high officials, to-day ten} dered 4 complimentary dinner to Mr. Gully, the recently appointed Speaker of the House of Commons. Considerable importance is attached to this high indorsement of the new Speaker, | especially in view of the obstreperous ob- jections with which his appointment was | greeted in certain circles, and which threatened at one time to result in open hostility. The position has always been considered as above party and factional | disputes, and hence some alarm was fel¢ that another time-honored t1adition might be trampled in the dust. pERE e ke Candidates for O’Brien's Seat. LONDON, Exc., June 22.—M. Roche, Mayor of Cork, has been adopted as the Parnellite candidate in the coming elec- tion in Cork city to fill the vacancy in the House of Commons, caused by the bank- ruptcy of William O’Brien. James F. O’Brien of South Mayo is the anti-Parnell- | ite candidate. S g g Menage Killed in Honduras.

G
