Conservative. Repudiating the Alliance With Paraell Gladstone Fulls Through.

LONDON, November 28,-The political situation to-night indicates that the conservatives will remain in power. It now seems impossible for Gladstone's party to secure that majority of members lfl the

parliament which Lord Salisbury has declared necessary to prove that the British people desire a change in the government. Hence both conservatives and liberals now accept tory retention of office as a certainty, and both parties have already begun shapfng their affairs to conform to the prospect. In fact the greater of the liberal leaders are at present speculating upon Salisbury's probable policy. It is thought that the tory premier will rearranee his cabinet before the opening of parliament. Whether his party holds virtue of a small majority of tte own or by virtue of the strength received from alliance with the Parnellites, it is £rervwhere conceded that he will be forced to make the Irish question the subrct of his first important measure of legislation. As the home rulers will ccrtainly have the balance of power, and legislation proposed by Conservatives for benefit of Ireland will have to contain verv generous and radical concessions in order to be acceptable to the league members. Their demands in this respect may be regarded by tbenew government as extortionate and may on this account be refused. Parnellites at present threaten to use their balance of power to block all legislation until their demands are satisfied. They will, however, in all probability be baflled in their attempts to carry out smch a determination. Gladstone can be very vindicative. The Parnell vott Arew the liberals from power and the same vote prevented their return. Gladstone knows that the tories do not

love

the Irish and would be glad to be independent of them. Now, if the conservatives could be made independent ol the home rulers, the Parnellites balance of power would disappear and the Irish nartv might go to pieces (to stay dismembered) because of the loss ox cohesive power of accomplishment. Gladstone is English above all things. He has it in his power to deprive Parnell of all the expected benefits he counts on in control of the solid Irish party. He need only ally himself with the conservatives on all Irish measures to do this. Such an alliance would be in accord with the past history of the liberal party, and would be exceedingly grateful to the tories. It would leave the Parnellites and the radicals completely out in the cold, for combined thev would be an insignificant minority in comparison to theit allied opponents. Poetical and political justice of this form of, retaliation is apparent, and there is already indications that "Grand Old Man" has made up his mind to adopt it. A story is current in the clubs to-night that Gladstone Jhas ir^mated to

Lord Salisbury a willingnesv'in the event of conseivative success at the polls, to give the whole liberal strength to the

support of the government on all reasonable measures. In order to prevent the necessity of yielding to tU ruinous course of placing England under Irish dictation, the very phraseology of the ex-premier's overtures is captivating to a torv. No doubt is entertained that the liberal leader's proposal of it "ally has teen offered and has been accepted, in would clearly explain the inward meaning of the sudden change of

tion of the whole Irish party as rate parliamentary wing. If, all their steady efforts, man sacrifices and long continued good management the Irish party should find their complete unity instead of being of any avail should result in nothing but a solid combination of the great England parties against them nothing would be' more natural than for them to become discouraged over the inutility and even danger of their organization and fall to pieces. Their case would exactly resemble that to which a celebrated cardinal has likened it And which he advised the Catholics of the United States to avoid, "So long," Baid he, "as you re main in one political party the other can afford to assail you, and when the unfriendly party is in power your loss will be great." ...

Continuing, the Spectator says:" "The deep-rooted distrust entertained by Englishmen against revolutionary policies will not have been expressed in vain if it tames the rashness of Mr. Chamberlain and Sir Charles Dilke. So far as the elections have already gone in England, the moderate liberals have prevailed over the radicals. In Scotland, however, the radical candi dates who were committed to diseetab lishment have everywhere succeeded in getting elected."

The German sugar refiners have already become alarmed at the prospect of the establishment of a system of countervailing duties which may bar out their products from English markets.

With the improvement of the prospects for the continuance of the conservatives in power, the chances are for a renewal of British activity in Egypt. Preparations are already being made on a large scale, in both Alexandria aAd Cairo, under instructions from the London war office for anew expepition to Dongola to check the advance of the Mahdi successors. cpedition it is believed will soon start The retention of 3,000 British Indian troops at Suakiam is taken as an indication of Lord Salisbury's intention if he remains in power to reconquer the Soudon.

An enormous development of stock exchange transactions has occurred here within the past month. The monthly settlement concluded yesterday was the largest recorded in the history of London. The dealers in American securities were compelled to keep their clerks at work durinz the whole of Thursday night. The British public are now becoming more largely interested in stock speculation than they have been at any time in the past five years.

Tne prospects in the shipping trade are becoming much better, and freit-t rates are advancing.

The British government is contemplating an elaborate sjheme for placing the'mother country in close and ronstant cable communication with all her colonies and dependencies. The system under consideration involves the employment of cables entirely under British control except in those cases in which the present transatlantic lines are concerned.

Berlin has a sensation of the first order in the trial and conviction of the Marchese Rita Candice, the daughter of Mario, the tenor, and Grisi. The marchese has been prosecuted under fourteen sharges of having swindled jewelers, hotel keepers and modistes of large sums of money under various false pretenses. She has been convicted of all the charges and has been sentenced to eighteen months in prison, with an llowance six months for the detention she has already undergone under a previous sentence less justlv inflicted.

ALFONS' AMOURS.

The Way the lata King of Spain De•troyed Himself. Alfonso was very active and supple, with a bull-fighter's physical address. His eyes were brown, but full of changing tints, and his mouth singularly vivacious and expressive. His mustache was very fine and silken, his hair all but black, his teeth very white and his smile extremely fascinating. He was less hystertcal than most Latins,, aad^waa great deal more brusque. King Alfonso was fond of riding, of hunting, of shooting/ of fishing and outdoor exercises. Skating and deerstalking in winter rpwing, lawn tennis and croquet in summer, had no more ardent amateur. Next to athletic sports the king was said to be fond of conversation when he could shake off the cares of state and gather round him a few companions of his own age, or even graver statesmen and his bold, quick repartee, his pleasant, affable manners, the wide range of his reading, his constant study of European politic and literature made foreigners and natives wonder how be could' find leisure hours for so much intellectual and physical activity. His older servants said he resembled in some points his grandfather, Ferdinand VII., but he harbored liberal and tolerant ideas ?in religion and in' politics, more resembling his great ancestor, Charles III. Of course, he would be neither a bourbon nor a Spaniard—his very political adversaries would charge him With insincerity —if he were not, like ''the first gentleman" of his realm, to use the old English expression, gallant and- courteous to the fair sex. It was this latter inclination which gave rise to scandal in June, 1883, when his infidelities became the general topic of discussion among the Spaniards. It was held that Queen Christina's German asceticism had sufiered an incurable wound, and hereafter their Catholic majesties vould live apart. Her majesty was a German bluestocking of the highest cultivation, a fine mechanical musician, linguist fuid perfectly arable, but arctic in temperament if ""o's favorite, on the contrary, was v. -*uty whose accomplishments

the different liberal clubs great concern is already shown as to- the future leadership of the party. Mr. Gladstone in a private talk admits his willingness to eater the next parliament as a leader issue has brought upon him the entente ill will of all but the extremely radical members of the liberals in England. Both the liberal and radical newspapers combine in upgrading him for the result. The Economist 6ays that if the liberals are defeated at the polls "it will be the result of Mr. Chamberlain's work."

The Spectator declares that when Cham berlain supposed that by dangling the of a "free church," "free educa

turn" and the prospect of land on easy terms before the poorer Great Britain he should support easily in his polical game. The majority gf the Scotch memben of the next parliament wUl go to London pledged to subordinate all other measures of legislation for Scotland during the session to the Cameron bill for disestablishing the church in Scotland.

circulated that the queen bad departed for Bohemia with her children, never.to return, because of the kings mfidelities, the matter was hushed up, and the Madrid newspapers giving currency to the story were suspended. A writer thus gives an idea of Alfonso inclinations: ... .• "However little the mild and ascetic Francis of Assisi may have contributed ,can

to the character of Alfonso, there be no doubt that the animalism of mother, Isabella, and of his grandmother, Christine, is repeated with increased force and abandon in the king. He has already given to his court a flavor of pronounced corruption. His first enjoyment ef the royal prerogative took the form of an insistence on his droits de seigneur, His profligacy, shocking even to Spaniards, has Deen at least candid, and his subjects have never been ignorant of the times or places when he played the part of Haroun A1 Kaschid. It is generally anown that his life has been more than once endangered in his street rambles, and a gypsy girl on a certain occasion nearly put an end to them with her bodkin. His passions are apt to disdain the beauties of tbe court and gravitate, like those of most young men, toward vulgar celebrities. It is true that one young duchess suffers the sometimes envied taint of his distinguished preference, but the ladies who dance for him after his little supper in the palace, and th/jM. whom he visits incognito, attended by two of his faithful military chamberlains, are of the common class—circus riders, tumblers, 6iagers and half-bred gitane."

He Says Spain Is in Bad Shajje, Special to the Inter Ocean. WASHINGTON, D. C., November 26.— "Spain is in the worst sort of shape for a crisis of this kind," said

General

John W.

Foster, recently minister to Madrid. "The Spanish people are very inflammable and always ready for a revolution, but just now the condition is aggravated as a result of the succession of calamities which the country has suffered during the last few years. First came the earth-

quakes, and then the cholera, and they not only resulted in a frightful mortality, but business of every sort was demoralized, the industries were suspended propie fled from their homes, and those who remained were- too frightened to work. There have been two years of constant apprehension. Among people of the temperament of the Spaniards, a scare is almost as bad as a calamity. During all this time the country has. been producing nothin, and the accumulations of the ?eople have been exhausted, and every :orm of industry and trade has* been prostrated. Aqgnstomed to the elasticity of trade in this country, we cannot realize the effects of a financial panic in a land like Spain. It takes the Spanish race ten times as long as an active and energetic people like ours to recover from such a condition of things.

Their argument has been, not that there would be more than {he ordinary danger involved in the proposed journey, bat that the emergency is such that it is his duty to the eountry te avoid every possible risk of ^accident to his life ana health until congress meets, and a presidential sucion is provided for. Large number ot telegrams to the same effect hatae been pouring in upon the president 'day from leading men in all sections the country, including one from the

Samuel J. Tilden and a number distinguished friends of_ the late president at Indianapolis. At a hour this afternoon, the following received from Mr. Hord, his law partner and intimate friend:

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., November 38.

ZtfitAe Preaident: Hendricks requests me to thank yon toi your messago of sympathy, and also Uisa iveland for her kind and beautiful letter, request* me to say that your presaaoe at tb4 funeral of her husband would be very iteful to her feelings, bnt that she fully appreciates the weighty public reason* th*t exfet at this time asainst your coming west and begs that you will be governed entirely by your sense of pnblie duty.

I OSOABB.

While it is not positively knpwn, it is pretty well understood, that Secretaries Bayard, Whitney and Endicott, and Postmaster General Vilas, will attend the funeral. Attorney General Garland expected to be detained by important business before the United States Supreme court, but as that tribunal has adjourned over, and as his annual report is nearly finished, it is now thought he can also fix to attend. It is- not at all likely, however, that either Secretary Lamar or Secretary Manning will be able to leave Washington. They are both at work on their annual reports.

CITIZENS' MEETING.

Mayor KI Isem called the meeting to order, an 1 on motion of Judge Scott Col. R. W. T1 smpson was made permanent chairmi of the meeting. Upon taking the ch iir Col. Thompson extemporaneously pad a magnificent tribute to the dead vi$e president, as a. private citizen and lie officer. Said he: "This occasion ills me with indescribable sadness.

pore,, honest and upright a man who fearlessly approached and performed all the duties of long and versatile public life.

He zealously devoted all his energies to the faithful performance of every public duty—he did it fearlessly and well. I cau say, with earnestness, that I never knew a man who exhibited a greater degree of intelligence in carrying out his public and private obligations. He was esteemed by all who knew him. He was respected for his great simplicity of man-

in the walks of a private

social life or while pursuing his way to greatness along the avenues of his public career.

I first became acquainted with him while he was commissioner of the general land office and from certain official and jrivate relations which I then lad with him I was convinced that he persistently governed himself by' tbe highest and noblest sense of right. 9s death, then, I repeat, is peculiarly sad."

Col. Thompson referred touchingly, to the fact that Gov. Hendricks had come upon the stage of public life long after be (the speaker) had been.connectcd with state and national affairs, and said the speakt.y ''while the light of his life has gone out, after an honorable career, I still remain to do reverence to his memory." "Death is a simple going to sleep like the infant upon its mother's bosom. But is Governor Hendricks, dead Yes, dead to us and to his country—not to himself.. It cannot be that a man who led the pure and spotless life of Thoma A. Hendricks can ever die."

Tracing at some length the continued ifrolic advancement from tbe state office first held by him to the second highest office in the gift of the American nation, the chairman closed his impressive address with the remark, "it is esnecially appropriate that we should pay him tribute."

Messrs. George Davis and David Henry were made secretaries of the meeting. On motion, a committee on resolutions was appointed, consisting ef Judge Long, Judge I. N. Pierce and Mr. Jno. G. Williams. The committee reported the following

The sudden death of Hon. Thoma* A, Hendricks, rice president ol the United States, at his residence in the city of Indianapolis, on the evening ef November 25, 1885, has cast an overwhelming shadow of sorrow npon the entire nation and the spontaneous expression of thegrief of all the people, in every portion of onr country, is an evidence of the widespread confidence, the eeneral respect, and the universal affection entertained towards this hon ored and illustrious citizen and statesman throughout the length and breadth of the land. These marks of esteem, BO freely and universally expressed, tuu the neceesary outgrowth of tbuse solid as well as brilliant acquirements that placed him in the verv froet of bis profession, end have led to the perfect fulfillment by him of every pnblio trust repoeod in him during a long and useful life. As a luwyer before the highest tribunals of the world as a legislator in the councils of his state as a representative and a senator in the congrese of the United States as commissioner of the general land office of the government as 'governor of the state of Indiana, and as vice president of the United States, he has discharged the diversified duties impoeed npon him with moit signal abilities, and with that aeal anl fidelity that characterised him in all the eogagemeitte of life.

The limits of a hurried memorial can not be expected to contain the history of a great man's life nor is it so much the object of the meeting thiB evening to praise him as it is to express our sorrow at his untimely death. Our loss consists largely in the fact that his death cuts off the grand possibilities that so reoently seemed yet before him and thus deprivee the world ef the fall measure of the example of a great and perfeet life.

Muoh of his history is written ia the records et the state and eeneral governments but aore, saueb more, is enshrined in the heatte tad memories of the people who have so lone loved and reepeoted him. Vor them and for ourselvee we can sorrow fuily say that his death most be looked opoo by us all as a great public calamity. It has deprived his profession of a powerful and brilliant figure it hss taken tram among 0" mnnsellois of the nation a wise andI enstatesman and it has removed from

among the highest of haman positions an expsrianoed, prudent and just official. Together with this brief tribute of oar respect for the distinguished dead, we tender to Mis. Hendricks the sincere and earnest sympathies of this entire community.

The other room-keepers said they would not pay unless that firm lived up to the agreement' "You tell Maurice and me in Paris dat our firm give one tousand dollar," jroke in Mme. Vignaux vehemently to Moses BensignOr, representative of that firm. "No, I didn't," replied Bensignor, "Yon must have misunderstood me." "No, no, no you said dat so vare plin You do not tell zt truth now," retorted the little French woman. A general wrangle ensued, and the meeting finally broke up without any settlement having been made.

The B. & O. Train Demolistaed—The Engine Demolished and the Care Derailed—No One Seriously Injured

WHEEWOO, W. Va., November 28.— Last night the fast mail train coming west on the Baltihiore & Ohio railroad was derailed and partiaily wrecked at Glover's Gap. The train left Grafton fifteen minu^s late, and was running at the rate of forty-five miles an hour when the Gap was reached. As th'a station is not one that this train stops at, the speed was not materially slackened. The block lights were all right, and giving the customary whistle signals the engineer kept on. Juet at the station, he discovered that the side-track switch was open. The engine was reversed, but before the train had perceptibly slowed or the brakes had time to take effect, the train had glided rapidly along the sid*e track about 300 feet, and struck a gondola ear that had been left there. The shock of the collision was terrific. The engine and boiler were driven upon the gondola and the driving wheels were driven into the mud up to the rods. The tender was jerked around at right angles to the trajk. The mail car was lifted off its track and rolled completely oyer. The baggage car was thrown to one side, and the Bmoker had the front battered in. The passenger car and sleeper were derailed. Every one received a severe shaking up, but no one, strange to say,, was seriously injured. The men in the mail And .baggage cars were somewhat bruised, but not in any way disabled. The engineer, John Cummings, stuck fast to his post, and came out without a scratch. The passengers describe the accident as one of the strangest, in view of the fact that no one was hurt, that they ever heard of. 4
