WANTS WOMEN TO VOTE. Conflict of Authority Between the Police and the IZoard of City Works. Trackmaster Murphy, of the Brooklyn City Railroad Company, yesterday caused the street pavement in Graham avenue, near Maujer street, to be torn up torepair the track. A number of men were engaged at the work when a policeman stepped forward audordered them to quit at once. Trackmaster Murphy jumped into his buggy standing nearby and drove to the Sixth Precinct Police Station.

There he showed a document, signed by Commissioner of City Works Adams, giving him a "special" permit to open up the sti eet at any time on the lines of the Brooklyn City Railroad Company. The permit was dated January 11, 1HHN. Sergeant Reeves read from General Police Orders No. 101, which embodies a communication from the Department of City Works to the Police Commissioner, in which it is stated that It is determined that no general permit shall hereafter be issued to any corporation or person to disturb pavements or sidewalks and that all general permits heretofore issued to corporations for BUch purposes are hereby A second clausj states that hereafter only special permits will lie sailed, and a third clause says that such special permits will bo issued only for work in special localities. Mr.

Murphy's permit had the word "Special" across its face, but the sergeant decided that the police had no option but to obey orders and prevent the street digging. Mr. Murphy was indignant and pointed out that if tho police were going to continuously misconstrue their ordei's necessary work in public thoroughfares would become an impossibility. The sergeant consulted his colleague, Sergeant Brown, and both decided that itwas their duty to prevent the work going on. Mr.

Murphy departed with the expressed intention of going to the City Works Commissioner tfnd "seeing about it." Up to the time Mr. Adama started for home Mr. Murphy had not seen him. A RECEPTION' TO CARL SCHURZ. lie makes an Address, in Which He Ie fcrs to lEis Trip to ierniauy.

Carl Schnrz was tendered a magnificent reception last evening at the Liederkranz Club, on Fifty eighth stroct, New York, by tho United German Singing Societies. There were fully two thousand persons present. After addresses by Richard Katzenmeyer and William Steinway, and singing by various societies, Mr. Schnrz was introduced and was greeted with applause which lasted for ten minutes. When it had subsided Mr.

Schnrz said he was thankful to thoe who had given him auch a reception, and especially so becauso it was not connected with politics in any way. lleferring to his trip to tho Fatherland, Mr. Schnrz said he was more than surprised to see the advancement made there. When he and others who emigrated from there, or had to emigrate, the country waB only a mere speck compared to what it is now. Then thero were only a lot of petty kingdoms and principalities which are now united in a grand empire, the strongest and the most feared of all the nations in Europe.

It no wonder the Gor mans in America should feel proud of and love their mother country, and they could do this without in the least interfering with their lovo for their adopted country. Mr.Schurz referred to tho great change not only in the condition of the people, which he was glad to aay waa considerably ameliorated, but to the great improvement in the cities and towns. Ber lin, ho Baid, was now tho central financial city of Europe. Tho streets iu the cities wore vastly improved. Ho exhorted his hearers to still have a deep interest in their mother country.

He again thanked them for their kind reception to him and hoped that their Fathorlaud would still continue strong while it was at peace with tho other European nations. STREET LIGHTS FOR NEW UTRECHT. A Commission Whose Appointment De feated Tnlliiiadgrc. A Board of Street Lighting Commissioners has been appointed forJNow Utrecht under tho provisions of the bill which passed the Legislature last Winter. It consists of five members, one bc ing the Supervisor and the others from different school districts of the town, to be appointed one each by the Supervisor, Board ot Justices, Assessors and Highway Commission era.

Tho appointees are J. Lott Nostrand, of Bath Beach; John Cowenhovou, of New Utrecht; M. Bennett Warded, of Bay Ridge, and William Keegau, of Fort, Hamilton. Each Commissioner is compelled to fnrnish $2,000 bonds. The commission has power to contract with gas or electric lighting companies under tho lowest bid on proposals publicly advertised for, to furnish lights on streets where such have been asked for by a majority of freeholders.

The first decision must be for the system of light to be adopted. Electricity is being urged for adoption. This street lighting bill is what dofoated Daniel Webster Tallmadge in his own town. He was charged with deceit toward the Bay Ridge Citizens' Association, concerning the disposition of the bill. In tho shape first introduced it was objected to, and was amended to suit a conference between the Bath Beach and Bay Ridge associations.

Rumors afterward reached Bay Ridge that Mr. Tallmage was urging tho original and not the amended bill. To the counsel of the Citizens' Association he denied this. The original bill, however, became a law and Tallmadge said it must have been through a mistake. It got there just tho same.

The largo majority of the Bay Ridge Association members arc Republicans, but on Election day they made a mistake just as Daniel did and dropped their ballots in for Graham, to the tune of a couple of hundred votes.

YOUNG PKOPI E'S SOCIABLK.

Tho Young People's Christian Endeavor of the First Baptist Church of East New York held a sociable last evening at the residence of Stephen D. Mersereau, on Glcnmoro avenue, near Warrick street. A select gathering spent a most enjoyable evening in social amusements, and when the collation which was aerved had been thoroughly dismissed, the company gave themselves up to unlimited merrymaking.

Melrose Hose Company No 1, of Flatbush, will hold its third annual ball at the Town Hall on Tuesday evening, February 5. or in the service of the Corean Government itself, have put into the heads of tho king and queen he idea that Corca should bo independent of China. For centuries Corea has been tributary to China.

As a rule the yoke was easy and the burden exceedingly light, usually consisting of a mission evory one, two or three years, according to distance, bearing trifling presents to Pekin The missions went back laden with the richest presents and were conveyed from and to tho boundaries of the empire at tho Emperor's ex pense. They were charged no customs duties and of. this privilege they took advantage to trade and make enormous profits. A common method of punishing the misconduct of a vessel was to refuse to see the mission. But although this suzerainty involved no very close and constant relationship between suzerain and vassal, China has sometimes found it expedient to treat it as a very important relation.

The case of Corea is of this character. That country is close to the cap. ital of China, its harbors command the Yellow Sea and tho coasts of China, and therefore the peninsular possesses a special value in the eyes of the Chinese Government. When the Powers first came to make treaties with Corea the very loose and unsettled relation of Chinese suzerainty was shown by the fact that filio disclaimed all sponsibility for the doings of Corea, though at the same time she tried to get a clause acknowledg ing her suzerainty placed in the first treaty. This, however, was stricken out by the American Senate as amounting to a declaration by one of the other parties to the treaty and an acknowledgement by the other that tho formor, though making a treaty, really had no power to make treaties.

Corea, therefore, made her treaties with western nations on an independent footing, and in all Corean treaties China is sedulously excluded because she refused to demand that the Corean treaties bo made with her consent, with the necessary corollary that she would mako her self answerable to foreign nations for the conduct of tho Coreans. The policy which produced this Ktato of things was that of Li Hung Chang, who is a persistent waiter upon events. The in surrection in 1882, the attack on theJapaneso legation and the murder of a number of Japanese subjects led China to fear that the threatened Japanese expedition would result in permanent Japanese occupation of part of Corea. It then began to dawn on China that she had made a huge mistake in allowing Corea to assume to foreign nations the attitude of an independent power. Accordingly China began en deavors to regain her predominance over tho King of Corea and his ministers.

Another outbreak against the Japanese decided China to dispatch a large forco at once to put down disorder. The rapidity with which this expedition waB sent wag marvelous. The disturbances were suppressed, and the Chinese encamped outside the Corean oapital and remained there a few years, oyer aweing the government and strengthening the hands of the Chinese Resident, Yuen, who virtually rules the country. Any change in the position of Corea toward foreign powers must always be a matter of serious concern to Japan, whose interests in. the matter are almost as great as those of China'.

There are reasons to believe that if China employs force respecting the dispute over Mr. Denny, in order to preserve her hold on Corea, Japan will object and serious difficulties ensue between those powers, possibly resulting in a Russian protect orate over Corea, an attempt to assnmo which will compel England to show her hand. OKllJfAOT'S COLONIAL POLICY. The recent lecture in Berlin by Major Liebort, of tiie general staff of the Prussian Army, re specting tho German policy in Zanzibar, a ver batim report of which has now been printed in nearly all tho leading English papers, confirms the misgivings which wore aroused by the news that Lord Salisbury had agreed to a policy of co operation. Tho policy, according to Major Lie bert, who is undoubtedly in a position to know whereof ho speaks, is as follows: In tho first place, satisfaction for the murder of German subjects and the destruction of Ger man property was to be obtained and the punishment of tho delinquents to bo secured.

To compass the ends reprisals are to be executed on the rebellious inhabitants. The compensation is to be extorted, not from the inhabitants, but from the Snltan of Zanzibar, and in the event of refusal an adequate amount of customs is to be appropriated." This done, a force is to be enlisted in India for the reconquest of the so called German territory. In the second place, measures arc to be devised for the suppression of the slave trade. No doubt Major Liebert's views are not expressed in the German communications to Lord Salisbury which were published the other day. Sat tho Germans have never since they have had a colonial policy disclosed their in teiitions.

They asked for English assistance to a person whom they described as a mere scientific explorer at a time when that person had in his pocket instructions to make haste to annex tho Cameroons before the English officer who was known to be on his way to that place could arrive. Moreover, the Germans have invariably repudiated the policy of humanity which England hag somo time pursued: and the German Government refused at the Congo conference to agroo to an article prohibiting the importation of firearms and spirits into tropical Africa. The object appears to be to force the Sultan of Zanzibar into an attitude that will give the German admiral an excuso for hostilities which may end in the Germans being unfortunately and to their great regret compelled to annex the island." The trial of Dr. Goffoken, if it maltes no progress in fact for the German Government is ap parently in no hurry to decide the fato of the unfortunato publicist has at least had the effect of exciting a large portion of the German public. A pamphlet published at Hanover by tho well known bookseller, Mierzinsky, and purporting to be from the pen of a German judge, great length the law applicable to the case, tho nature of the proceedings and the political results which may in any case be expected rfrom the trial.

It seems that it will bo necessary to prove not only that the publication of Frederick's diary constituted a publication of State secrets, and that such publication was and is injurious to the welfare of the German state, but also that Dr. Geffcken was fully aware that tjie publication would be so injurious. Furthermore, it appears from the pamphlet that the ordinary method of proof in such cases would, if adopted, lead to the summoning of Prince Bismarck as an expert to prove by his statement on oath the danger to the (state resulting from the publication. It is believed in German conservative circles that the writer really intends to convey an attack upon Prince Bismarck, and that the form given to the pamphlet is due to an attempt to avoid pvosecution for libel or treason or tctne other of the various offenses of which all the chancellor's enemies are guilty. HE USED A CHISEL.

A Boy Who Paid Dearly for His Fun. John Denner, a German, GO yeaiB old, living at 15!) Meserole avenue, Seventeenth Ward, was arrested yesterday afternoon on a charge of assault and locked up in the Seventh Precinct. Denner, who is a framer by trade, was at work, when a number of small boys began to annoy him by throwing stones. In hie anger he rushed at tho crowd with a chisel and wounded George Fredericks, aged 11 years, of 93 Van Cott avenue. The wound bled profusely and tho little fellow was taken to his homo, whore Dr.

Kissame attended him. His injuries are not Berious, although very painful. Denner denied the assault. PltESIDEXT DIAZ'S THIRD TERM. City of Mexico, December 3 Via Galveston.

A few days ago a gold bracelet, valued at $25, was stolen from MrB. Pauline Bang, of 317 Van Brunt street. A servant girl named Minnie Wright, l(J years of age, was suspected, and yesterday afternoon she was arrested by Detective Connors, of tho Eleventh Precinct The bracelet was found in Friers pawnshop, at 105 Hamilton avenue, and as Mrs. Bang would not make a complaint the girl was released. Signor Ambrosia Kcceivcs a Visit From tlic Police.

For more than a month Captain Eason, of the Second Precinct, has had to listen daily to complaints from householders who had suffered from the depredations of a particularly bold gang of thieves. Clothing was being continually stolen from back yards, where it had been hung out to drv. and in many instances the robbers broke into houses during the night and carried off whatever they could conveniently get away with. The patrolmen were instructed to keep a sharp lookout, and did so, but in spite ot their watch fulncBs the thefts continued. On Friday night Captain Eason learned that several suspicious looking persons had been seen to visit a small store in tho baaemontof GO Adams street, kept by an Italian named Ambrosia.

Tho visitors, the captain's informant said, had bundles with them when they entered the place and nothing when they came out. On tho supposi tion that Ambrosia was acting as a receiver of the stolen gooda it was determined that tho store should bo raided. Accordingly yesterday morning Sergeant Car rougher and Detectives Kearney and Noonan called on the Italian at an early hour and fortunately found him and his whole family at home. Two young men, not Italians, who were in the hallway of the house when tho police arrived managed to escape. The occupants who were put under arrest at once gave their names and ages as follows: Corvo Ambrosia, An tonotti Ambrosia, 49; Alfonso Ambrosia, 1(5; Rosa Marciaa, 47; Dorma Marcisa, 24, and Ju liana Lowrcy, 30.

After the prisoners had been searched the examination premises began, and in a very short time the suspicions which had led to the raid were confirmed. Piled up in a rear room was found property of every description, the proceeds of probably dozens of robberies. Thero were Bheets, bodsprcads, undercloth ing, coats, hats, trousers, boots, shoes, harness, a couple of bales of cloth, four bot tles of whisky, a lot of carpet and odds and ends of all kinds. Altogether there waa a good sized truck load. The property was taken to the station house where much of it was claimed during tho afternoon.

Among ihose who recovored what they had lost were Mrs. llen radez, of 08 Adams street, Mrs. Leasko, of 07 High atreet, and Mrs. Ward, of 164 Adama street. The prisoner, who had nothing whatever to say, will bo arraigned before Judge Walsh to morrow, when in all probability tho women will be discharged.

AmbroBia is believed to have dealt principally with Baxter street merchants in dis posing of his goods. COOGAN'S BOHEMIAN AGITATION. A IVew Phase of His Recent Campaign Brought Out in a. Civil Suit. Evidence introduced yesterday in a suit brought before Civil Justice Steckler, in the Fourth District Court of New York, brought out a new phase of the candidacy of James J.

Coogan for tho mayoralty. Joseph S. Chaida, publisher of a Bohemian newspaper New York, brought the action, by which ho sought to recover an un paid balance of $40 for advertisements and com plimentary notices published in his organ in tho interest of tho United Labor party in general and Mr. Coogan iu particular. The items contained in tho bill included the publication in the Bo hemian languago of Mr.

Coogan's letter of ac ceptance and the party platform upon which he relied to succeed Mr. Hewitt. Joseph Ruciszki, a Houston street druggist, was the defendant in the suit. He is the leader of tho Bohemian voters in New York and as auch was furnished with the magnificent sum of $G0 to bring out the Bohemian vote of the city on be half of Mr. Coogan.

Tho money was to be devoted, according to Mr Ruciszki, to the payment of the various sub leaders, advertising and compensation for speak ers. He made a bargain with the Bohemian publisher to print the platform, letter, by which the latter was to obtain $60 for his serv ices and an additional sum in case of Mr. Coogan's success. Ho only paid him $20 down however, retained a like amount for his own services, handed over $7 to a translator, who, b' the way had only arrived from his native land eight months previous and squandered the re maining sum in buying beer for prospective sup porters of Mr. Coogan.

Leader Ruciszkildeniediycsterday that ho agreed to pay any more than $20, except in the event of Coogan's success at the polls. After the evidoncc pro and con had been re ceived and Judge Stockier had reserved his decision the litigants patched up their differences, the defendant, it is said, paying tho Bohemian editor half of his claim. WANTS TO FIGHT MCAULIFFE. Sam Collyer, an Old Timer, Challenges the Light Weight Champion, Sam Collyer, the old time light weight cham pion, who at one time lived in this city, is again in the field. Some time ago Jack McAuliffe stated that he could knock the veteran out iu two ronnds.

I will arrange a match to box McAuliffe ten three minute rounds, according to the Fox rules, the winner to take 65 and tho loser 35 per cont.

Collyer in 1867 and 1868 fought several bat tles for the championship of light weights with Mike Carr, Race Bolster, Barney Aaron (twice) and Billy Edwards. FALLON AND THE AUSTRALIAN. The Glove Contest at the Palace Kink To morrow Evening'. The ten round glove contest between Jack Fallon, "the strong boy," of this city, and Ton Loes, the champion middle weight of Australia, which takes place at tho Palace Rink to morrow even ing, promises to attract as much attention in sporting circles as tho recent contest between Jack Dempsey and Mike Donovan. This iB the Australian's first appearance in this country, and it attracts attention more particularly becauso lua friends wanted to match him against Jack Dempsey, stipulating that Lees should weigh not more than 160 pounds.

To morrow night will demonstrate it the Australian iH a match for the Nonpareil. On the other hand, when Fallon's record in tho ring is considered, there is hardly any question but that a very spirited glove contest will take place. The contest will be with soft gloves, Queensberry rules. The programme an nounces that beside the contest between Lees and Fallon a number of Now York and Brooklyn boxers will don the mittens. Fallon will bo handled by Paddy Smith, the well known light weight pugilist who gave Jimmy Mitchell, of Philadel phia, such a gamo fight to a draw at that city.

while Denny Butler, the bridge jumper, will look after tho Australian. TO HOLD A FAIR.

FELL FROM A SCAFFOLD. About 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon Mr.

Abel Liektky, of 102 Henry street, fell from a scaffold of tho new building 98 Walton stroct, on which he was working and sustained severe injuries. He was removed to St. Catharine's Hospital. A HARVEST HOME CONCERT. The Harvest Homo Concert of the Flatbush M.

E. Church will take place this evening in tho edifice. He Sends His Compliments to "Chawley Mitchell." He Will Bet That Distinguished Englishman $5,000 that He Cannot Stop Him in Eight Hounds The Nonpareil Tells How Ho is En joying Himself. It is reported that the owner of a widely read illustrated sporting paper published in New York is seriously inclined to discharge all of his writers and fill their places with eminent prize fighters. This idea has been growing in his mind ever since the great and only John L.

Sullivan entered tho field of journalism as a sporting editor. In dis cussing this report Mr. James Giddings, a veteran sportsman of Brooklyn, who has seen all tho best pugilists of the last thirty years light, said to an Eaolk representative last night: I think it would be a good idea tO get a staff of fighters on a sporting paper. Nearly all of 'em are good writers, if a man can judge by tho let ters they write. I guess there have been more letters written by fighters within tho last two years than there was during the lifetime of Old 'Yankee' Sullivan, 'Tom' Hyer, Tom Bayers or any of the old timers.

If somo of the old 'uns that are dead and gone, would come back to life and read a few volumes of the letters that the fighters of to day have been firing at each other, the old 'ana would well, I guess they'd want to get under ground again. Why? Because they'd know we haven't got any use for thorn nowadays. For one, I like to read these letters: they show that the boj'S are improving. For instance there's Dempsey, a born fighter. He can write and fight.

I'd a great deal rather read some of these letters than thoso that fellow 'Junius' kicked up such a fuss with. Some of the letters is very touching. There's only one objection that might be raised against getting a staff of prizefighters. They might get fighting among themselves and then it would be necessary to call out tho Board of Supervisors, or Fire Department, police, mebbe the Before Mr. "Jack" Dempsey and Professor Miko" Donovan fought, several pungent, sarcas tic and at times lurid letterB passed between the two.

In the opinion of local sporting men the gallant and invinciblo Mr. Dempsey proved himself tho more accomplished writer of the two: the professor fought better than he handled "English aB she iH wrote." Mr. Dempsey is, or was a few days ago, on tho ice bound banks of Raquette Lake, and from this de lightful Winter retreat for hardy pugilists ho sendB to Brooklyn evidence thatMie is still quite handy with the pen. In response to a letter inclosing Mr. "Chawley" Mitchell's offer to givo him $1,500 if ho will stand before him for eight rounds, Mr.

Dempsey writes to a sporting reporter of the Eagle: "The Antlers," Raquette Lake, Sunday Night, November 25. FniESD Your favor just arrived a few minutes ago. 1 read the notice and teel quite thaniaul to Mr. Charley Mitchell for his magnanimous offer. Mr.

Mitchell surely means what he says and I have not the slightest doubt but that he is honest: aye, more, lie is lntaln unity ltseit. lo oe int am ble one cannot err. and as Mr. Mitchell states that he knows he can knock me out in eight rounds, why, of course, it must lie so. nut 1 am, unfortunately, a doubtful Bort of fellow, and with my usual pei'verseiiess I would like toi question even one as infallible as Mr.

Charley Mitchell, to the tune of (in poker parlance) raising his $1 ,000 $4,000 more, namely, $5,000 a side. I will bet him $.1,000 that he cannot stop, me in eight rounds. He has made the proposition and as he has an unlimited amount ol cash no can wen at ford to stand the raise. He furthermore states that I am not in his class as a pugilist. 1 thank heaven that 1 am not, nor do care to bo in the clasB with one.

who en dowded with strength and the gift of knowing how to ueicna nimseii, maKos use ot that girt violently assaulting a couple of reporters, men who were not only inferior to him physically but whose only crime was that they were American reporters, and what they wrote did not suit his Highness unawiey." Again, Bay, tnann ncav en I am not in his class. Ho had better consider tho proposition of the why does he not accept that offer of $5,000, and I think they will give more than that. They allow fights to a finish there, and there is no dan ger of his freedom being endangered, as he states. I wish it distinctly understood that I have never said that I could either whip, lick or beat Mitchell, or for that matter any other man. I have seen many papers stating that I have said so, but it is wrong.

I have said that I would fight him and I am willing to do so and will do my best to win. I think I have said too much about this matter already so will now coucluao with regards to an the hoys. P. S. In another lettor I give you an account of some ot our adventures wnne coming here.

Following is an extract from the letter referred to in tho postscript to Mr. Dempsey's first communication We arrived here veBterdav (Sat.nrdav) at fi o'clock in tho evening, after one of the roughest tramps that have over had. We walked tour teen of the hardest miles that were ever nut on the face of God's earth. I and Mr. Wheeler walked, while Mr.

George and the guide took the river' and lake way. Bad as was our tramp through Drake, mud, and over thousands ot fallen trees, it was in no sense to be comoared to tlve trip of the two who went by the way of Marion itiver ana Hie lakes. Alter leaving juanon itiver, the guide.who was drawing a sled with 0 pounds of luggage, walked into an air hole and the sled of course followed hiin. The water at that point was about ten foot in depth, and had it not been that Mr. George had delayed a few yards behind 1 am atraid Mat uoth would have been drowned.

After George had rescued the guide (Mr. Mallard. by name) they were joined by our landlord's brother. JEd Bennett, who assisted them in fish ing out our guns and baggage. They had started but a few hundred yards when the ice part ed again, ana wnen mu guide Baiuc tno sled with its heavy load toppled over an him and it was with great difficulty that he was huhcd out.

They thought it useless to try to get the baggage out again that night, so they went to Mr. Bennett's home, "Under the Hemlocks," on Raquette Lake, and remained there until morning. You may bo sure that wo were a little anxious about them, and it was with feelings of joy that we saw them arrive here about 10 o'clock this morning. With the aid of rakes they rescued all the baggage from the water except mine. My bag was left there for a few hours more.

I finally got it but you should sec tho contents. My overcoat was baptized also, and although it has been here over eight hours it is still a lump of ice. There is not a thing but has been damaged more or Jobs, but as there were no lives lost we are all happy. It was a very close shave, though. We are snowed in here, and thoi prospects are that it will be two weeks before I can get down.

There is no telegraph here, and the nearest nost office is fourteen miles off I mean Bluo Mountain. Hamilton County, P. O. I will be in Brooklyn by the 7th or 8th. I was under the impression that I could got down to appear at Mike Cleary's benefit, but found it imnossible.

as it took us fivo days to come up here, and it would take more than that to get back to New York. It is snowing heavily here at present, and the prospect is good for a little huntiug in the morning, so I will bid you good night. Yours as ever, JOHN IS. UEMr SEY. A CHILD'S FATAL FALL.

Happy as Little Neck clams iu their shells 7,000 men jostled each other in Madison Squar Garden, New York, last night, and they all smoked. Pounding the tan bark with their feet were fifteen men, and they were all weary. Be hind big brass instruments were twenty men try ing to make music, and they were all windless.

Plummer was will ing to start a fight, but he wasn't allowed to and the way he was sat upon made him mad. In high collar, double watch chain and boutton lero the only Jlilic Kelly was on hand and many wore those who Bought tho atten tion of Boston's "ten thousand dollar beauty." When at 7:55 Littlewood caught Alberts record of G21 miles the cheering and shouting was groat, and the drinks on the head of it were not few. But Littlewood kopt it lip and ton minutes later scored another mile, Albert in a high Bilk hat accompanying him in his last lap and acting quito good natured ly, though his record was being beaten At 9 o'clock large floral contributions began ar riving for the walkers, Miss Daisy Sheldon being one of the most liberal contributors. At 0:27 Littlewood again came on the track after having rested, but he was very lame. Herty and he, however, caught little Charley Smith by the hands and hurried him around the track and many bank notes were handed to the runaway boy.

A for an English Premier to Take Has Emperor William a Cancer in the Ear? The Situation in Corea Germnuy's Colonial Aspirations Personal Intelligence, Copyright 188 S. Londok, December 1 Lord Salisbury's declaration in favor of female suffrage in his speech at Edinburgh yesterday has taken everybody by surprise.

In comment ing on the speech the Pall Mall Gazette declares that it is the most memorable utterance that has iallen from the lips of the promior in many years. Continuing the paper says: "Lord Salisbury Baid ho was speaking for himself only, but we earnestly hope that the day is not far distant iwhen women will also bear their share of voting and determining the policy of tho country. We can conceive of no argument why they should be excluded, since it is obvious that they abundantly fit as a great many others to possess the right of suffrage, by reason of knowledge, training, character, iniluonce and weight thrown in the direction of morality and religion." The Gazette concludes its article by promising to support the idea with all its heart in tho event of its being made a Government measure. The Times is violently opposed to the appointment of Kir Henry Norman to bo Governor of Queensland. Concerning his selection and its consequent effect tho "Thunderer" says: "The appointment puts an end to tho personal aspect of the matter, but it does not removo tho friction which had its beginning under the administration of Sir Anthony Musgrave over the pardon of a prisoner which was finally granted by the Colonial office direct.

This friction will bo continued over tho case of the crew of tho ship Hopeful, who were condemned for conspiracy and slave dealing, in having procured a number of South Sea islanders to work on plantations for stipulated wages and selling them intft bondage. There was a strong popular demand for the pardon of these men, but Sir Anthony Musgrave refused to grant it. He died a short time ago, leaving the matter open. Sir Anthony's son in law, Mr. Dudley Field, is at present in charge of tho government of Queensland and there is no reason to believe that either he or Sir Henry Norman has any deBire to settle the matter." The Times belioveB that the Queensland colonists are more than ever anxious tosece(fe from the Empire and questions tho wisdom of continuing to allow them the liberty they have hitherto enjoyed.

The Times expected that tho testimony of Patrick Lane before the Parnell Commission would produce a great sensation, but the Kavanagh shooting incident spoiled its effect, if it did not indeed render the little fellow entirely useless as a witness. Lane is a shoemaker, and is supposed to be the man who made the leather sheath which encased the knives used in the riioonix Park murders. John Bright is suffering from a complication of Bright's disease and There is a copious formation of sugar in his blood, and it is feared by his physicians that he will ultimately fall a victim to dropsy. Crowds of anarchists assembled at! tho St. PancraB Railway Station last ovening, to bid farewell to MrB.

Lucy Parsons. Just before her departure the crowd sang "Annie Laurie," the song which Parsons sang before ho was hanged, and a band played the "JIarseiliaifie." Mrs. Parsons' visit to England has resulted in drawing a sharp line between the London Socialists and the Anarchists, across which the former look down upon the latter. Emperor William, of Germany, still remains udoors and his ailments will prevent him from attending the annual court shooting at Spring Hanover. The stubborn affection of the car, with which he is afflicted, arouses the suspicion here as well as at the various continental capitals that he has cancer.

The doctors attending him observe the utmost secrecy and this circuniRtaneo adds to the belief that he is a prey to the disease which terminated his father's life. It is asserted that Mr. Hobeit Gent Davis will not return to his seat in Parliament. Tho parliamentary procedure prevents Mr. Healy from moving the issuance of a new election writ on Tuesday, as he had intended to do, but it has been arranged that the chief Tory whip shall shortly announce that Mr.

Davis' seat is vacant, when the writ requiring a new election will be issued It is now asserted that Davis' family has raised the funds necessary to meet his obligations and prevent legal proceedings. It is predicted that the match trust will prove to be a failure, only thirty two of the smaller Swedisli manufacturers having entered the combination. This number would be impotent against the larger firms of Japanese and Chinese match makers, who are now doing a tremendous business in the East, and the Swedish syndicate will soon die a natural death. Peruvian bonds have sustained a sharp decline owing to the rejection by the Chamber of Commerce of the Grace contract, engineered by William E. Grace on the occasion of his late visit to London.

They rallied somewhat, however, on receipt of news that the American Senate would consider the matter and the statement that if it were successful there the question would come up beore a joint session here. Mme. Adelina Patti, referring to her success in flinging in French, said to your correspondent that it had required an enormous effort and groat patience to enable her to do so. After acquiring the habit of singing in one language (rtalian) the transition to another was very difficult and attended by some danger to the voice. Henry George was entertained at a banquet at the Duval restaurant to night.

There was a large attendance and tho affair was a conspicuous success. THE SITUATION' IJt COItEA. The British Foreign Office has received a cablegram in which tho Marquis Tseng denies the report to tho effect that tired of the perpetual intrigues of foreign official and of the consequent disturbances among the people of Corea, he has proposed the naturalization of the peninsula un dor agnarantee of the various treaty powers. Marquis Tseng's view haB always been that China was the suzerain of Corea; that foreign powers had no interest there and should therefore bo rigidly prevented from acquiring any beyond that given to them by treaty, with China's con gent. The fact, however, that such a proposition is generally made by tho Marquis Tseng, and under discussion by the Chinese Government, is in itself evidence of the unsatisfactory state of Corea.

The peninsula is really a kind of cockpit for the intrigues of Eastern diplomat' lata, aided by Corean public men. Periodr nally these intrigues break out on the sur face as riots, insurrections, assassinations and the like. In the struggle which has gono on for the paBt four years Corean ministries have been elevated and overthrown in the twinkling of an eye. One night the members of a Ministry in full power went to a banquet in a new building in SeviU. By daybreak several of them were dead or dying by assassination, and the remainder were far away from the capital, either in flight to the mountains on the Russian frontier or to the coast in the hope of finding a boat which would carry them to a place of safety.

At the source of all the Corean troubles liea the question of vassaldom to China. Since the treaties were made with foreign countries, beginning in 1881, certain Europeans and Amer SUNDAY Fair warmer. TIIE TABLEAU OPEN. OUR IMPOSING HOLIDAY TABLEAU IN WAX IK OPEN.
