A third member of the party of wolfbitten Russians who visited Paris to be treated by M. Pasteur has died. Like the. other two, he showed symptoms of hydros phobia. ==— ■ Mr. Gladstone last week submitted to the British Cabinet his scheme for home rule in Ireland. Four piembers still threaten to resign. The Queen sent her Private Secretary to confer with Lord Hartington. the leader of the. Whigs in the House of-Com-mons.... The* coiumiipder of the German gunboat Cyclops, on the west coast of Africa, telegraphs to the German Government that he has bombarded the town of Meneybimbia. The natives were driven away by the bombardment, and the marines landed and completed the work of destroying the town. Nobody belonging to the gunboat was injured. Mr. Gladstone’s scheme of home rule for Ireland was explained, according to his promise, in a speech delivered in the House of Commons on the Bth inst. The solution of the Irish problem he declared to be the "establishment of a Parliament in Dublin, forthe conduct of business both legislative and administrative. ” Safeguards, for the minority and "the class-connected with the land” mre to be provided. The Dublin 1 Parliament will have no authority to establish or endow any particular religious sect, but will be empowered to deal with laws affecting trade and navigation, coinage, weights and measures and postal administration. It is to be "a dual body: composed of two orders, each of which shall have power to veto the acts of the other. The first order "will include 103 members; the second order 206.” Twentyeight of the present Irish peers will continue to sit in the House of Lords, and'will also’be granted the option to have life seats ’in the first Irish order. Tfie Vieeroyalty wilLhe a non-political office, not dependent upon the changes in tire Ministry .at London;. The Irish Constabulary will remain under the same authority as at present- "Customs and excise duties collected in Ireland will be held for the sole benefit of that country. The general jmwer of imposing taxes will be vested in the Irish Legislature, but it will have no power to interfere with the army, the navy, or the Crown prerogatives, or with foreign or colonial affairs. The bill is made for Ireland, and grants much that the' Home Rulers have asked without yielding much that Englishmen have clung to tenaciously.
