Hopkins Will Get Millions.

Boston, October 15.—The Searles will content has undoubtedly been compromised. Perhaps not all the legal steps have yet been taken, but tbe work is practically done. This was the story which was whispered by leading lawyers this morning. “Timothy Hopkins was hound to have his share. He wanted $12,000,000 but the figure with which he has been obliged 4o put up, is understood to be somewhere between $8,000,000 and $10,000,000. The whole e'state inventories at about $25,000,000.

which

amicable relations which exist between France and tbe Vatican. The Dreibund is cognizant, the cardinal continued, of Italy's complicity in tbe Menotti Garibaldi affair, and at that time the under home secretary, Lucca, arranged a project for a circular letter to be sent to tbe mayors of the provincial towns instructing them to arrange a manifesto. The Cardinal declared that the Italian government wouid prefer the assassination ot the expulsion of the Pope to the present situation. The Pope himself bad recently said: “I am no longer a prisoner, but a hostage menaced with expulsion or assassination unless I

capitulate before the enemy.”

The Cardinal, continuing, said tbat tbe Pope would never accept the present situation, but nothing has as yet been deeided upon in the matter of his leaving Borne. Tbe conclave is abroad and many of tbe cardinals have hitherto been reluctant to act in this matter, but they have greatly modified their views since French pilgrim disorders. The latter may have the gravest consequence for Italy and the Vatican, and the general situation, and, perhaps, seriously alter the relations between all the European powers and the Vatican. It is said, in ecclesiastical circles tbat the occupation of Home bv Italy would finish like the finish to the French commune, by

the massacre of the hostages.

Some Muter Irish Uiterances. Dublin, October 15.—Mr. John Redmond, member of Parliament for North Wexford, whose name hss been prominently me;) tinned as tbe successor of Parnell as the leader of the Parnellite party, has written an article on Irish politics, whicn is published to-dky in United Ireland. In this commanioation Mr. Redmond, sneaking of Mr. Parnell, aays: “The greatest friend of Irish liberty; the greatest enemy of tyranny has been killed by the foulest slander; hunted to deatfi that the virtue of Ireland might be vindicated to tbe satisfaction of the Pharisees and hypocrites of England. The scandal-mongers of Britain should now be satisfied. The English leader who struck the first blow may now be content; his greatest rival is no more. The Christians who, contrary to divina teaching, merciIfeseiy persecuted their chief, may rest from their labors. Another item has been added to the account Ireland has to settle. Some day, it may be in our time, or it may be when we are in our graves, but so surely aa the sun sets beyond our heart-broken land, tbe account will be settled. Ireland will

pay the debt long due.”

United Ireland to-day publishes a cartoon representing Mr. Gladstone pleading for the surrender of the Parnellites, and adds* to it the following comment: “No, w* can not be friends wlita you. We can not must

not, will nut No, by heaven, will not met the revenue cutter Corwin fit Not if England struck her flag to us and
