volved several years ago. The statement is not signed, but bears evidence that Sir Charles is the author of the document in question. The statement tries to show that the lead ing assertion of respondent, Mrs. Crawford, was nntrue, and that she was an abandoned character and an habitual frequenter of questionable resorts. According to the statement. Captain Forster ought to hare been co-respondent, and not Sir Charlea Dilke. Referring to the notorious "Fanny," the pamphlet says that she is now hapoily married, and is knr.wn as Mrs. Stork. Continuing, the pamphlet repeats portions of the testimony at the trial, and attempts to show that Mrs. Crawford's statements were false. Since the trial, according to the pamphlet, "Fanny" has made a statutory declaration giving a full account of herself, of where she was staying at certain periods, and has made a sworn denial of Mrs. Crawford's story so far as it related to her. before the IJneen's proctor. Fannv V husband, the pamphlet adds, believes his wife's story and says that be has the best reasons to know that she is a good woman. The statement also compares the evidence famished at the trial in detail. The most striking novelty of the whole aflair is Fanny's" declarations. The general opinion seams to be that the pamphlet will reopen the agitation of years gone by and will probably win over to Sir Charles's side of the affair a number of the public who have previously condemned him. but that it will fail to completely vindicate Sir Charles Dilke. It is probable that Sir Charles Dilke will abandon the idea of re-entering Parliament, Gladstone haying objected to his proposed candidacy. Mr. Stead has published a protest against his return. RADICAL. REVENUE LAWS.

Heavy Export Duties and Other Measures of Taxation Proposed in the Argentine. Wjlsiiixgtox, March 5. The Bureau of American Republics is informed that the President of the Argentine Republic has recommended to the Congress of that country several very radical revenue laws which have created a bitter enmity against the administration in commercial circles. The President, in his message, holds that such measures are absolutoly necessary to maintain the credit of the government, and asks their indorsement by Congress, but Congress has not yet ratified bis suggestion, lie proposes first to impose an export' duty of 5 per cent, ad valorem npon animal oil. horns, jerked beef, bone-ash, horse-hair, hides and skins, bones, wool, tallow and ostrich feathers, which constitute the great bulk of the exports of the Argentine Republic. It is also proposed to materially increase the import tariff, it being understood that the proceeds shall be devoted exclusively to the payment of the interest upon the public debt. Vessels under a foreign Hag which are engaged in the coasting trade shall pay the following annual license duties: Vessels less than fifty tons register, &j0; vessels upwards of fifty tons register. 510 for every ten tons register or fraction thereof. - -Another decree recommends a license tax of 210,000 on foreign insurance companies, and requires a deposit of S 10), 000 as a guarantee before they may be allowed to continue business. It further requires foreign insurance companies to pay a tax of 7 per cent, on the premiums received from policies insured in the Argentine Republic. This decree will seriously affect a number of life and hre insurance companies of the United States which have branches in the Argentine Republic. This same decree imposes a tax of 2 per cent, on the gold and paper deposits of private banks, which will greatly damage the general business of tnglisb, trench, Uerman and Italian banks sow established in the Argentine Republic, with capital exceeding $75,000,000 of void. A similar decree requires that all taxes, customs duties and licenses shall be paid in gold. The President of the Argentine Republio has proposed to Congress the passage of a law creating special courts whose jurisdiction shall include only offenses against the revenue laws. These courts are to sit at the principal ports of the country, and are to have power to inspect or seize the busi ness correspondence, books, invoices and other documeuts which may be required for the investigation of any charges of traud against the revenue. A MONTE CARLO CRIME. Arrest of a Man and Woman for Luring an Encllah Doctor to His Death. Monaco, March 5. A man and woman were arrested here yesterday charged with the murder of a physician in December last. Their arrest has caused a sensation, because the crime is a direct counterpart or repro duction of the crime for which Michael Eyraud recently suffered the death penalty in the Place de la Rouquette. From the meager details obtainable from the police it appears that in December last the body of an English physician, a Doctor Lindemann. of Manchester, was found dead in a ravine near San Remo. The finding of the dead body was followed by an official investiga tion which, it was announced, resulted in the authorities of San Remo coming to the conclusion that it was either a case of suicide or else that Dr. Lindemann met his death by accident through falling down the ravine some dark night while out walk ing. It now appears that the police allowed the suicide or accident theory to get abroad in order to better enable them to follow out the real theory that of murder. It was thought likely that the murderer or murderers, upon hearing that the authori ties of San Remo had arrived at the con clusion that the English physician's death was caused by accident or suicide, would relax their vigilance, take fewer precau tions to conceal their crime and thus fall more readily into the hands of jusrice. From the moment the Doctor's body was found the authorities of San Remo never ceased their investigation, and gradually wove a net of evidence around the Doctors murderers, which yesterday resulted in the arrest, here of a man and woman who are charged with having murdered Dr. Linde mann. The woman, it appears, was of the seductive character of Gabrielle Bompard. and she used her bright eyes to lure the Doctor to lodgings she occupied at San Remo. As to what actually took place after the woman had enticed her victim into her icom littlo is known here, owing to the fact that the police are not yet prepared to give all the facts to the public. However, it is concluded that the Doctor, when in the woman's apartments. was dragged, murdered and robbed by the woman who had bewitched him, and that' the latter was assisted in the perpetration of the crime by the man takeu into custody with her. The arrests have caused much commotion. It is rumored that the man and woman in custody may have other and similar crimes charged against them and that the woman may have been used to lure other men to their doom. In a place like this, where the hndmg of bodies, sen e rally cases of enpposed suicide, is uot an infrequent occurrence, it is not astonishing that the wildest theories have been advanced, and that people fancy that perhaps the woman made it a business to decoy successful players into her apartments, and that there they may have been robbed and murdered and their bodies placed so that they would be classed as victims of ill-luck . at the earning tables of Monte Carlo or elsewhere. GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS. Alleged riot to Overthrow the Present Government of the Hawaiian Itlands. San Francisco, .March 5. A prominent merchant from Honolulu brings news of a conspiracy, formed by Colonel Ashford, to seize the Hawaiian government and make the Queen a figure-head. The scheme was similar to the one engaged in by Wilcox four years ago. The American minister learned the full details of Ashford's scheme. and arranged to have marines landed from the Mohican and Iroquois in case any attack shall be made on the government house. The uncertainty of political atlairs on the island is causing great uneasiness among iuo conservative element. Questions and Answers In the Commons. London, March 5. In the House of Com mons to-day Mr. Henry Cobb, Gladstonian. member for Iimrb'. asked if a militarv inquiry had been ordered in regard to the baccarat scandal, which affected an officer of high rank ISir William Gordon Cum. mings. Hon. Edward Stanhope. Secretary of State for War, in reply to Mr. Cobb's question, said that the matter was now tho

subject of an action at civil law, and that

he must therefore decline to make any re mark on the subject. . Sir James rergnsson. Parliamentary Sec retary of the Foreign Office, replying to a question upon the part of Mr. Henry Lalouchere, one of the members for Northampton, decliued to dtine the Sultan of Turkt?y's rights in the Soudan, saying. however, that whatever, they were they had not been surrendered. Collisions, he said, between the Egyptians and the Soudanese had been frequent since ISM, and they had always been provoked by the Soudanese. In the House of Commons this evening Mr. Labouchere moved a reduction of the army estimates by 100.000 on account of the troops in Egypt, lie said the troops ought to have been -withdrawn long ago. Mr. Labouchere's motion was rejected un der closure 140 to 105. Wealthy Woman in an Insane Asylum. London, March 5. A curious and start ling case will shortly be tried in the courts here. It appears that a Mrs. Cathcart. a wealthy lady of Stratford, disappeared from her home and for some time afterward all the etlorts of her relatives and friends failed to discover her whereabouts. Quite recently, however, her friends traced her to a lunatic asylum, where she had been confined at her husband's instigation. Mrs. Catbcart's relatives are now trying to obtain the appointment of a lunacy commis sion to inquire into the affair and to obtain her release, it being claimed that she is perfectly sane. Mrs. Cathcart is the possessor of an estate valued at over $5,000,000, which reverts to her husband if he can prove that he is unsound mentally. Mrs. Cathcart's relatives insist that she is in full possession of her senses, and. consequently, a long and interesting trial is expected. Further developments show that in 18i9 Mrs. Cathcart brought suit against her husband in an ef fort to obtain a divorce and was not successful. America Is Still "the Promised Land." London, March 5. The British emigra tion returns show that the United States is still regarded as the promised land by the greater number of British emigrants. During the month of February alone the emi gration to the United States far exceeded that to all other countries combined, being 10,000 in a total of 14,000. Australia comes next, Canada ranking after Australia. The attempt to obtain emigrants for the new territories in Canada have been a complete failure, as, after one winter, they all desert to the United States. An emigrant from Canada has stated that he was snowed in for eight months the first year, and bad hardly time to cut wood and lay in provis ions before winter began again. Not Satisfied with Our Copyright Law. London, March 5. The St. James Ga zette, this afternoon, advocates retaliation against the United States copyright bill. "If the Americans will not give copyright to books printed here," it says, "let us re taliate . by refusing to give copyright to books printed in America. The bill is not a reparation, but is passed in the interest of the American printing trades in order to deprive the British of a flourishing industry." The Pall Mall Gazette says that only a few British authors are benefited by the bill. "Copyright bill," says the Gazette, 'is a misnomer. The bill means protection for American printers and paper-makers." Rasines Suspended in Chill. New York, March 5. A firm engaged in the South American trade received advices from Chili to-day to the effect that business there is generally suspended. The coast towns have been deserted to a large extent by the citizens, who have taken to the hills, fearing a bombardment. A wounded sailor from the man-of-war Esmonds, who is in the hospital at Valparaiso, says that twen-ty-six were killed aud injured from a shell from tho shore batteries during the recent attack. The running of trains on the various railroads has been almost entirely stopped. It is rumored that Santiago is threatened with a water famine. Supporters of Parnell Excommunicated. Belfast, March 5. Rev. Beeves, D. D., Bishop of the . united dioceses of Down, Connor and Dromore, who has issued a letter amounting practically to an excommunication of the Catholics who support Mr. Parnell, which letter has caused considerable excitement in this city and elsewhere, says during the course of that epistle: "These men who are supporting Mr. Parnell have become the propagators of public scandal and have by their own acts placed themselves in company with those to whom it is unlawful for priests to administer the sacrament. n Result of Koch's Treatment In 2,172 Cases. Berlin, March 5. Official government statistics have been prepared of 2,172 cases of tuberculosis treated by the Koch method from the middle of November to the end of December. Of cases of internal tuberculosis lo are reported cured, 171 considerably improved, 194 improved, and 46 died, while of cases of external tuberculosis 15 are reported cured, 148 considerably improved, 237 improved, and 9 died. The statistics are incomplete, and are not final. The success of Professor Koch's remedy has exceeded every anticipation. Strict Faaaport Regulations. Berlin, March 5. An agent of the German government to-day entered all the trains which arrived at the German frontier stations of Avricourt and Altmunsterol, and examined the passports of the travelers. Almost all the third-class passengers were prevented from proceeding further on their journey. Most of them declared that they were ignorant ot the new rules. Many of the passengers exchanged their tickets and started for the eouth of Germany by way of Switzerland. Others had their money returned to them, and were enabled to travel via Cologne. Does Not Want to Be a Cardinal. Rome, March 5. The announcement in several American newspapers that Archbishop Williams, of Boston, would be appointed a cardinal is not true. Archbishop Williams has written a' letter to the Pope requesting his Holiness not to impose that honor upon him. The Vatican authorities are in receipt of numerous letters from the United States requesting the Pope to reinstate Dr. McGlynn. Contrary to the reports circulated Cardinal Gibbons is not mixed up in this affair. Protection in France. PARisMarch 5. M. Meline, in the Chamber of Deputies to-day, presented the report of the tariff committee. Tho report affirms the necessity of protecting the agricultural industries and the manufacturers of France, and argues that such action would benefit the consumers as well as the producers. An increase in the taritl'. says the report, would augment the public revenue and develop home trade. It instances the results brought about by protection in tho United States. Ovation to the Royal Families. London, March 5. The Queen, accompanied by the Empress Frederick, by the latter's daughter Margaret and by the Prince and Princess of Wales, drove to-day in open carriages from Buckingham Palace to Islington, where the royal party spent considerable time in visiting the horse show now in progress at the Agricultural Hall. The Queen aud her party received a perfect ovation as they passed through the streets on the way to and from the hospital. Strangled to Death In Prison. Belgrade, March 5. It has transpired that Helena Markovio and Helena Knicaniue. who attempted to kill King Milan in 1SS2, have been strangled to death in prison. Milan requested M. Garaschanine, who was premier at the timo of the attempt, to institute an inquiry into the circumstances of the killing of the orisoners. Leopold Enraged at the United States Senate. Brussels, March 5. The rejection of the slavery resolutions to the United States Senate has caused a sensation in Brussels. The rejection unexpectedly upsets the work ox the international conference, alter

Holland's signature had been virtually coerced. King Leopold is very greatly incensed. Cabte Notes. A violent hurricane swept over Madrid and neighborhood, doing a great amount of damage to property. A French squadron has been ordered to the Gulf of Jouan, to remain there during lueen Victoria's stay at Grasse. Buenos Ayres advices say that the insurgents have met with defeats at Ovallo, and are retreating to La Serena. The National Liberals of Gacstmunde have decided to run Prince Bismarck for the Reichstag in the next election. It is reported that the French Jockey Club proposes to remove horse-racing to Belgium in order to have freedom in betting. M. Constans, Minister of the Interior, has given instructions that men betting money on French race-horse courses are henceforth tobe arrested. The president of the Parliament of Alsace-

Lorraine has requested an audience of the Emperor to submit an address asking for the repeal of the passport regulations. Among the defeats sustained by the old Czechs in the Austrian elections was that of their renowned and venerable leader. Dr. Kieger, who will now likely retire from politics. The crews of sixteen steamers and one sailing vessel at Aberdeen have strnck against the federation and have captured eighty non-union dockmen imported from New Castle. In the Urban districts of Bohemia twelve German Liberals, eleven young Czechs and three German Nationalists were elected to the lower house of the Austrian Reichstath. Vienna is astounded at the result. Rossi ter W. Raymond, secretary of the American Mining Institute, will, Wednesday next, by special request, testify before the English Royal Commission appointed to inquire into the subject of mining royalties. Mrs. Lincoln, the wife of the United States minister to England. Robert T. Lincoln, and tho Misses Lincoln arrived at Southampton by the North German Lloyd steamship Saale yesterday, after a pleasant passage across the Atlantic. Tho British House of Lords yesterday, in handing down a decision reversing all previous judgments, holds that the Bank of England is not liable for the sum of 71,000, the amount obtained by the forgery of a clerk in the employ of Messrs. Vagliano Brothers, of London. The man Gavan, gnilty of the murderous stabbing in a train at Castlerea, Ireland, has been decided to be sane. lie has been twice in prison for stabbing people without apparent motive and the police are impressed with his. likeress to the descriptions of "Jack the Ripper." The appeal of Peter Vladminott from a sentence of twenty years penal servitude for murdering his mistress, Carimo; Freycinet, at Ville d'Avray, France, in October last, has been dismissed and the rich young Russian, who is but nineteon years of age, will have to pay the penalty. The French vintners announce an advance of twelve and one-half francs per dozen on champagne. The reason given for the advance is that they apprehend considerable damage to the vintage by the ravages of the phylloxera. The real reason for the advance is that the growers, who have hitherto been at the mercy of the shippers, have formed a combination and have raised the E rices of champagne. The shippers, in turn, ave increased the price to consumers. WORSE THAN SIBERIAN CRUELTIES. The Awful Picture Drawn bj White Slaves in a West Virginia Labor Camp. New York, March 5. Seven Bohemians,' who were sent from an employment agency in Greenwich street to labor on the railroad near the Pocahontas coal-mines in West Virginia, have written a letter, to a Bohemian newspaper in this city that is like a chapter from the blackest records of slavery. They arrived, with Immigrants of several other nationalities, at Elkhorn, W. Va., in the latter part of November, under the impression that they were to. receive $1.20 a day, and an allowance of 9 a month. for board. They signed a paper which was not read to them, but which bound them, they afterward found out, to servitude. "We were put on a train at Norfolk after our arrival from New York," the letter reads, "and taken to Pocahontas. After leaving the train we were told that we would have to travel one day on foot, and that we would have to leave our trunks behind. Instead of. traveling one day wo traveled three. The cold was severe, and most of our shoes gave way, so we were almost barefooted.1 At Pocahontas we were joined by two young men who rode on mules and were heavily armed. The agent carried a pistol in his hand. They compelled us at the muzzle of their weapons to wade through icy water. Those who objected were hit on tho head. What happened to us after we reached our destination is so dreadful that it may seem incredible to you. We are helpless here, as we are watched and guarded like prisoners. We did not get our trunks until a month after we got hero, and our bodies were covered with vermin. The food is always the same bitter black cotfee and bacon three times a day. Whether a man is ill or not it makes no difference to our masters. He must go to work, and when he is not able to work he is flogged until he is black and blue and told that he has signed the contract and must abide by it. We have received no money, and when we ask for it we are told that we owe $15 for railroad fare and $11 for board. At the store we are charged double for what we get, so that some of us have debts amounting to 35. Our labor is in vain, hard as it is. Wo are huntiry and our nights are sleepless because of the cold and dirt. We eat breakfast at 5 in the morning and go immediately to our work, which goes tar into the night.. "Two men tried to escape on Jan. 18. One was a Russian Jew and the other a Pole. They were caught and brought back. For punishment they were compelled to wade in water up to their waists and draw large boats after them. After this their coats were taken off, and they were whipped until they begged on their knees for mercy. At night they were chained together so they could not escape. 'When we asked about our trunks and received an unsatisfactory answer we refused to work. VVo were confronted with pistols, and told that we would be shot down like dogs unless we resumed work. "We have been sold like slaves. Is there no help! Oh, if we could flee from here and save others from a similar fate! Perhaps this letter ma)' be ; published, and, through Providence, we'may : yet be saved. We tiign ourselves, very rvapoctfully, "Wm. Hoffmann, Joseph Langer, "L. Langer. J. P. Mayek. 'Mike Hkanyo, J. Mraz, "J. Gerry. Onr address is Elkhorn, McDowell county. West Virginia, care of J. Bowell, Purcell's Camp (No. 2)." A well known Bohemian writer left this city last niitht to investigate the truth of the story. He carried with him a voucher of his identity, signed by the Governor, and also a couple' of revolvers. Responsibility for the 3Iammoth Disaster. Harrisrurg, Pa., March 5. The legislative committee appointed to investigate the accident at Mammoth mines,' near Scottdale, by which 107 miners were killed, will make their report to the Legislature to-morrow. The report says: "The committee are of opinion that the accumulation of gas was not very large, but that the explosion was intensiiied by the accumulation of coal-dust in that particular section of it, and that most of the men who were killed lost their lives chiefly from the result of after-damp, which always follows an explosion of this character; and that the mine foreman and the inspector of the district did not make such careful examination of the air currents at or near the face of all the headings as is contemplated by the mine law." Wall lluilt by a Prehistoric Race. Nasiivillk, March 5. Near Cleveland, Tenu., the work of a prehistoric race has been discovered in the shape of a wall now underground. It is live feet high and has been traced one hundred yards. The top stones have on their inside faces inscriptions in hieroglyphic characters which evidently have a meaning to be translated. The rock is a variety of sandstone mixed with iron. The mason work is well done, and the wall evidently ante-dates the Mound-builders, ,

PERISHED IN THE FLAMES

C, Feb. 5. Fire was discovered in the Monroe High-school early this morning. An alarm was at once sent in, and the students of the school were aroused as soon as possible, but it was too late to save the building, and two unfortunate young menThomas Pemborton, of Little Rock, Ark., and Albort Host, of Host's Mill, N. C, perished in the flames. At the first alarm the young ladies, who roomed on the ground floor, made their esoape. The young men roomed on the third floor, and when the alarm reached them the means of escape were partially cut oft and tho building filled with smoke and flames. Albert Bust and A. C. Phodes were in a room, together. Albert awakened first and discovered fire, and then awoke Rhodes. In trying to escape Albert- started for the west entrance, which was in the part of the building where the tire originated. He was allocated by smoke, overcomoby beat, and went down with the building. Rhodes sought the east entrance, and managed to escape alter being severely burned about the neck, head and arms. Thomas Pern berton was not seen at all, and his remains were found iu the wire springs of his bed, leadimr to the belief that he did not wake at all.

The Hartford line steamboat City of Richmond was almost destroyed by fire this afternoon while lying at her pier. The loss to the steamboat and cargo is about $90,000. The fire was discovered by a deck-hand who immediately sounded an alarm. It took the firemen fully an hour and a half to get the flames under control and by that time nothing was left of the vessel but a charred hull. The vessel had a crew of sixty men. All of these escaped but Halzy Hill, a colored waiter, whose body was found on the deck after the flames had been extinguished, and Harry Page, who had two ribs broken by a fall while making hi, escape from the burning vessel. The City of Richmond has been' in the company's service for about four years aud was purchased from a Southern company for S125,000. The body of a colored man was found tonight on the maf 3 deck among the debris of the cargo, and it was identified as that of Sammy Lampson, a waiter. The vessel sank fate to-night, and is resting on the bottom. It will not be known if other lives have been lost until the hull is raised. Ilomlny-Mills Burned. Terre Haute, March 5. Fire broke out in the corn cribs of the Nowhart Bros', hominy-mills last night, and soon communicated to the mill proper. The efforts of the entire fire department failed to check the progress of the flame I, and the mill, including machinery, is a total loss. The damage aggregates about &J0.000, with only $9,300 insurance. The mill was totally destroyed by fire in 1886, and was rebuilt. The origin ot the fire is unknown. Other Fires. , Philadelphia, March 5. The fruit preserving aud canning establishment of T. J. O. Schimmel, at Eighth and Brooks streets, was destroyed by tire this roorniug.

A requisition was presented to Governor Hill to-day, signed by Morgan G. Bulkeley, Governor, for the return of John T. Colbert, accused of horsetheft committed at Danbury, Conn., Feb. 24, 1S01, and now held in the jail at Carmel, N. Y. Governor Hill again refused to honor Mr. Bulkeley's signature as Governor, on the ground that Bulkeley is not the proper executive authority to issue the writ. With his refusal Governor Hill filed a lengthy opinion. Governor Hill, in hisopinion, declines "to recognize a person as Governor who was neither elected as such by tho people, nor has any legal or equitable title to the office, and who is not recognized as Governor by the highest legislative body of his own State' He says he cannot be expected to atlord Bulkeley the recognition he is unable to secure in his own State. "Mr. Bulkeley," he says, "is a mere usurper, and as such has no claim to be considered a Governor de facto." Governor Hill then cites numerous decisions upon this subject and states that he has concluded to refuse all rennisitions coming from Mr. Bulkeley under the present condition of a flairs in Connecticut. He says: "When requisition papers are presented to he executive he must judge of their authority, validity and euthclency. If he rejects them for any reason he exercises a discretion which is not remediable by any court. If there is a dis pute as to tne governorship of a State, and more than one person claims the right in such State to exercise the executive func tions, he is called upon to determine whom he will recoenize." He refers to the recent contest for the Governors seat in Nebraska, and says: "Had a requisition at that time been pre sented to me from one of . the persons thus claiming the right to the office, it would have been my plain duty to decide which claimant to the othce 1 would recognize. The responsibility of the proper determina tion of such questions is one which is im posed upon me by the Constitution and laws of the land, which I am not disposed to evade, and which I could not, if I would. cast upon another. "1 would gladly honor a requisition for the surrender of a fugitive from justice coming from the lawful executive author ity of Connecticut. If for any reason the lawful executive authority of that State is at present powerless to exercise its proper functions it is a public misfortune, which would, however, aflord no justification to me should I give official recognition to one who unlawfully claims the right to exercise such authority." Another Reservation Open to Boomers. St. Paul, March 5. The ratification of the Sisseton and Wahpeton treaty at Washington throws open to settlement one million acres of land, comprising a large Eart of the Sisseton reservation, in South lukota, immediately west of Traverse and Biic Stone counties.
