LIVERPOOL'S SENSATION'.
LIVERPOOL, March 19.—It has transpired that Froderick Deeming alias Williams, the perpetrator of tho foulest crimes that have ever occurred in this city, tried hard to get control of tho business of Mrs. Mather, whose daughter he married after murdering his wife and four children and burying thoir bodies under the floor of the house In which he lived at Eain HilL He was frustrated In this attempt by Mrs. Mather's son, to whom Deeming sent a letter foully abusing him for Interfering with his plans.
Laid to Beat.
The village of Eain
mil
wast on Fri
day thronged with visitors from every part of the Liverpool district for the purpose of attending the funeral of the victims of the, terrible tragedy. The bodies were interred in the parish churchyard. An enormous crowd lined the entire road to the ccmetery, along which the bodies of the murdered woman and her four children were carried.
The curate who conducted the religious exercises at the grave made a short address in which he spoke of the terrible fate which had befallen the five unfortunates who were about to be consigned to their last resting place. He denounced the fiendish acts of Deeming in the most scathibg terms and alluded to the murderer as the "most inhuman monster who had ever breathed the breath of heaven."
The immense crowd of spectators who were pushing and struggling about the yawning grave for points of vantage from which they might watch everything that transpired showed their detestation of Deeming by loudly applauding those words uttered by the clergyman in his terrible arraignment of the criminal.
The Bloody Clothing.
Tho box shipped by Deeming to Plymouth, addressed "Mrs. Holds" and which was never called for, was opened at Plymouth. It was found to contain the clothing of Mrs. Deeming and the children. There was in the bo* a night shirt covered with blood stains.
Her Husband Vlllnln.
A letter received in Liverpool from a lady who was on the vessel on which Deeming and his wife went to Australia says that Mrs. Deeming confided to her that her husband had turned out to be a villain and that he treated her brutally. The wife discovered her husband's true character during the honeymoon. He so treated her on. the voyage to Australia that the determined to leave him as soon as the vessel arrived at her destination and to return to England. The writer of the letter assisted Mrs. Deeming to buy her return passage, but after the latter had gone aboard the vessel to return to England her husband forced her to disembark.
En Itoute to Melbourne.
PEBTH, March 18.—Deeming, who is accused of having murdered his wife and four children in England, was brought to this city Friday by officers. They are going to Melbourne, where court proceedings will be taken against him. The prisoner was strongly guarded and every precaution was taken by the authorities to prevent him from attempting to make his escape and to guard against his being attacked by the excited people. The constable hurried Deeming from the train to the jaiL A hooting mob of men and boys started after the carriage, but the driver whipped up his horses and soon out-distanced the runners.
Claims HU Innocence.
The detectives gave the information that the prisoner had fainted twice during the journey, but that otherwise he appeared to be in a cheerful frame of mind. He was voluble and was very willing to talk about the murders attributed to him. lie seemed confident that when the proper time came he would be able tc prove his innocence. The police claim to possess proof of his identity. They seized some of his goods, and among things which fell into their hands wt^e a batch of letters and a basket containing female clothing.

It la Eatliuated 30,000 Ilead Perlahed During tile JlllzzarL ST. LOUIS, March 19.—Tho severe snow and wind storm which has raged during several days past over the Bocky mountain country from Wy oming to central Texas, has been exceedingly severe upon live stock.

It is estimated that 20,000 cattle have perished along the line of the Denver, Texas & Gulf road between Trinidad Col., and Fort Worth during the past week and as many more north and east of Trinidad.
The storm, however, has been the salvation to the wheat crop In northera Texas, which looks finer than at any time during several years past, and gives promise of producing a larger yield than last year.

WARSHIPS FOH HKHUING SKA. WASUIKHTOJI, March 10.— Bohring sea matters were the chief topic of discussion at the meeting of tho cabinet Friday. Tho result of the conference was the approval of an energetic policy for the protection of the seals of Behring sea and of adjacent waters resorting theroto, in harmony with the tenor of the note of March 8 from Mr. Wharton, assistant secretary of state, to Sir Julian Pauncefote, intended by President Harrison for Lord Salisbury. Secretary Tracy in due time, which may be in the very near future, will issue orders to the Pacific squadron to police Retiring sua and apprehend the poachers found on the interdicted territory, whether they be from Canada or the United States.
Mcafturet for Protection.
Thursday was a regular English mall day, and it was hoped that Lord Salisbury's reply to President Harrison might reach the state department, but so far as can be learned nothing has been received. That was tho statement made by a prominent official of the department. In the absence of any definite knowledge of Lord Salisbury's Intention, it was deemed proper and best by the president and his advisers for him to proceed In accordance with the Intentions expressed to the llritish government and arrange for tho protection of tho interests claimed by the Onlted States.
No Trouble Anticipated.
In coming to this determination it is not expocted that the enforcement of the policy outlined will lead to any serious complication with Great Ilritain. As has already been pointed out in these dispatches, from Lord Salisbury's express refusal to assume any responsibility for the seal poachers and his further refusal to submit to arbitration tho question of damages arising from their operations, it is assumed that Great Britain will not attempt to interfere with any arrangements the United States may make to break up the polngic poaching.
How many vessels Secretary Trae3' will order to Behring sea is not definitely known, but there will doubtless be enough to demonstrate to the poachers that the United States are in earnest i"n the effort to protect the commercial interests involved in the perpetuation of the sealing industry under the regulations provided by this government

KXCITRMKYT IN BERLIN.
BERLIN, March 19. Berlin is startled by the announcement of Chancellor von Caprivi's resignation. The report of his action excited the greatest sensation throughout the city, and crowds throng the Unter den Linden discussing the ministerial crisis. Caprlvi offered his resignation at the cabinet meeting as the result of the protracted contest on the education bill which the chancellor, as Prussian premier, has championed from the first
What Will William Do?
At this moment there is no definite information as to the action of the kaiser on the premier's resignation. It is known that tho kaiser has apprehended for some time a movement of the kind on Caprivi's part, and has also
Opposition to the Kducntton 1)111. The kaiser himself has earnestly dcsired to sec the education bill become a law and was prepared to strain every cord of his influence asking of Prussia to effect its adaption. But tho 6torm of opposition has been gathering in force with every day, and from nearly all of Protestant Prussia has arisen a loud and resolute protest against the concessions which the bill proposed to the Roman Catholic faith. These protests have been brought to bear with even greater force upon the diet, and member after member has deserted the cause of tho government At last, within a few days. It has become a question whether, in order to drive the bill in its present form through the landtag, the kaiser and Capriri would not have to alienate the whole liberal party.
Cauae of the Realgnatlon.
The immediate cause of Caprivi's resignation is said to be that at the cabinet meeting the kaiser substantially Btn ted that he favored a material modification of the education bill. As Caprivi had substantially stated in the landtag that he would stand or fall by the bill as it was, he felt bound in honor to resign. The kaiser's choice now is either to force the bill through as It stands or to accept Caprivi's resignation. The kaiser is known to be deeply attached to Caprivi, and it is thought that he may insist upon the chancellor remaining and call upon the conservative and ultramontane combination in the landtag to pass the bill.
Count Zedlitz and Trutzcshler, Prussian minister of ecclesiastical affairs and of public instruction, has followed the chancellor's example and tendered his resignation to the kaiser.
CaprlTl'a Prohalile Succeaaor. If Caprivi's resignation should be accepted his successor would probably be Johannes Miguel, Prussian minister of finance, who for more than two years has stood In the highest favor with the emperor and who has all along been lukewarm, if not positively hostile, to the education bilL It is thought by well-informed people that Miguel stands fully as well in the esteem of the kaiser as Caprivi himself, and there is no doubt that Miguel's opposition to the bill has had much to do with moderating the desire of the kaiser to pass tho bill as it stands.
