A cable specint to the Mail and Express from London says: Jokas, the famous novelist, delivered a speech yesterday before the Hungarian Academy of Sciences in memory of the late Archduke Rudolph. Jokai was a personal friend of the Crown Prince. He quoted a conversation which he had with the Prince shortly before his death in which Rudolph expressed a desire that the inevitable war with Russia should come at once, while Austria had strong allies and a good cause to fight for. He appeared to fear that his father was simply allowing Russia to gain time for preparation. Jokai believes that the Prince. committed suicide in a fit of pique at the refusal of Franz Josef to declare war.
BERLIN, MAY 7th. Kasson, Phelps and Bates and Lieutenants Buckingham and Parker went this afternoon at 2 o'clock to Prince Bismarck's, and were, introduced by Count Herbert.
The Prince was extremely, cordial and spoke in English, He said he was glad that the con- ference was progressing so favorably. He hoped that they would soon bring their labors to a suc cessful close.
The first thing that met the eyes of the com- mission were large cabinet photographs of Cleve- land and Bayard, both signed. The Prince wore an undress cuirassier uniform, and in the garden were two big mastiffs, one the gift of the Em-
ретог.
The Prince, explaining to the commissioners how it happened that they never meet him in the street, said, playfully, that he knew so many people in Berlin that he would have to walk down the Linilen bareheaded, so he never went out. The visit lasted half an hour.
The Vossische Zeitung says: The American commissioners to the Samoan conference have been instructed by their government to demand the neutrality of the islands, the administration of Samoan affairs by Samoans, and to urge the claim of the United States to the right to esta blish the coaling station at Pago Pago. The demands of the United States, however, are not intended to prevent other powers from exorcising influence in accordance with their interests.
At the Samoan Conference the details of the coming changes in Samoa are being debated at length, but no differences as to principle now exist. All the delegates desire the neutrality of the islands. The Americans have achieved marked success and have impressed Bismarck with their firmness and diplomacy.

May 20th,
His Excellency the Japanese Minister Mr. Shioda died here on the morning of Saturday. the 11th, deeply regretted. The figs of the various Legations were lowered half-mast as soon as intelligence of the sad, event was made known, and continued so for three days. The death of the Minister has been daily expected for several days, the disease--of the liver- having assumed a very serious form with grave complications. On the evening of Friday the 10th the Oriental Society postponed its meeting called to hear a paper by the Rev. W. S. Ament on "Marco Polo in Cabals, a comparison of Foreign and Chinese accounts," owing to the serious illness of the President. On Tuesday, the 14th, the Diplomatic Body met at the Japanese Legation at 2.30 p.m. when funeral Colonel Denby and M. Conmany. Dr. Martin orations were delivered by Dr. Martin, spoke in the three-fold capacity of friend, member of the Oriental Society, and the College; whose professora had always met with much kindness and hospitality from the deceased. The late. Mr. Mori, a former Japanese Minister here, was referred to and eulogised by President Martin. Col. D nby touchingly referred to the deaths of

Ribbonism had ceased, which was substantially Parnell said he had not heard of 1oo guineas being paid for the defense of moonlighters at the Cork Assizes in 1881. If he had been asked to authorize such payments he should in these days have approved of them, if he had reason to believe the law was being strained against a man, but his general rule was to limit such pay ments as much as possible. Parnell said he sometimes paid money from his own private account in behalf of the league. He did not object to an inspection of his accounts. Parnell declared that he had never heard that Egan had joined the Clan-na-Gael. He would regret to find that Egan had, rejoined the physical force party, but he should think such a course unnatural. Referring to secret societies Parnell said he considered that a person who joined the league and continued to be a member of the Clan-na-Gael acted to the injury of the league's policy. Any member of the league who would advocate the use of dynamite would be a traitor.

ROME, May 9th, Count Antonelli, leader of the Italian mission to the King of Shoa, telegraphs that in a recent fight between. Abyssinians and dervishes Ras Alulu escaped.
Legendary stories concerning the battle are afloat. The Abyssinians were victorious on the first day. Negus was wounded and while suffer- ing from fever be ordered 2,000 dervishes to be beheaded in his presence. On the following day, after proclaiming himself the elect of God, he headed his army and was again wounded in the neck. He fell and the army fled, leaving 30,000

ZANZIBAR, May gib. Captain Wissmann, with a force of 200 sailors and 700 blacks, had a severe engagement on Wednesday with the Chief of Bushiri's forces: The battle resulted in a victory for Wissmann, who captured Bushiri's camp. Eighty of Bush iti's men were killed and twenty captured. On the German side forly blacks were killed, and an officer named Schwalbe and other whites were slightly wounded. Bushiri fied.
ST. PETERSBURG, May 9th,

thereby sustained. The members of the body Italy and the loss the Corps Diplomatique had were in full uniform and the Legation flags were half-mast for the fourth day. A violet coloured piece of silk with a suitable inscrip tion in Chinese in gold letters was sent by the Prince and Ministers of the Tsung-li Yame, and placed on the coffin. After the delivery of the orations, the coffin was viewed by all present. The Ministers of the Foreign Office paid their visit of condolence in the afternoon of the 16th and minute enquiries were made into the illness under which the Minister had succumbed. The remains of the deceased left the city early on the morning of the 17th, covered with wreaths and escorted by a couple of soldiers kindly sent by the Tsung-li Yamen. From Tangehow two other soldiers, kindly sent by the Trotai of Tungchow will cacort the remains to Tientsin. A Tapanese man-of-war is expe ted at Taku to convey the remains to Japan. Dr. Aoki, who came to attend the Minister, and who arrived only a few days before his death, preceeds to Ticatsin where he intends to settle in 'practice. At that port there is already a considerable Japanese community which will doubtless wel come a native practitioner who has been thoroughly educated in Western medicine. Mr. Imadate, the Secretary of the Legation, has been commissioned to act as Chargé d'Affaires. The widow of the deceased, his son, and the Legation Interpreler, accompany the body to Japan."
The fate Minister was a Buddhist, The speech which he delivered lately at the Oriental Society, afterwards enlarged and printed in your columns (March 14th) may be said to be his profession of faith, and his many friends will therefore cherish this paper as his last literary effort and the exposition of his views on the great Buddhist question.
The Oriental Society is at present printing his váluable contribution on the ancient Chinese paper currency. It is very sad to have lost two Ministers within a month,
The flags of the Legations were mast high on the 17th in honour of the birthday of the youthful King of Spain.
Answers from the Viceroys, Governors, and' Tartar Generals to whom the railway question was lately submitted have been received and the majority are in favour of railway construction. A long and able document from the Conton Viceroy has been received in which, while opposing the construction of the Tungchow line, he recommends the making of a central one from Lu-kwo-chian, near Peing, to.

by adding a small quantity of alum and allowing the water so treated to stand from 8 to 12 hours, the clear water being then drawn off from the sediment which will have formed.
The quantities of alum which should be added to given quantities of water are 40 grains of powdered alum, or as much as can be lifted at twice on a cent piece, to an ordinary bucketful of water or half an ounce of alum to an ordinary Shanghai bath-tubful of water.
