without notifying the Senate, the latter body was no longer competent to deliberate, The vice-president declined to listen to Senators who insisted that the Naval bill ought to pass, and a decree closing the session was read amidst intense excitement...
The figures when presented to the Court will show that during the ten years which followed 179, the years when the Land League was formed, there was less crime in every county in Ireland than during the ten years which preceded that date.

MUNICH, July 14th, Munich was startled yesterday by two suicides, that of Lady Acton in Lake Tegerensee, and Count Waldemar Von Blumenthal, the Prussian military attache, at his residence in this city. Since the suicide of King Ludwig in the lake of Sternberg, 'three years ago, no such excitement has been known here. The first news that came was from Tegerensee and was to the effect that Lady Acton, whose husband died very recently, had cast herself into the lake. She was staying close to the shores of the lake. Yesterday afternoon she took a small boat, a5 was her custom, to row out upon the lake, and suddenly she sprang into the water and sank.
Munich had hardly time to discuss the suicide at Tegerenice before the announcement was made that Count Waldemar von Blumenthal had been discovered dead, 'having committed suicide. Hewas one of the most popular members of the diplomatic corps bere, young and hand- some and gifted. No reason can be found for his act, though it is rumored that his suicide is connected with the death of Lady Acton. Later, reports say that he took his life after hearing news from Tegerensee of the suicide of Lady Acton..
Lady Acton was a sister of the German. Minis- ter at Washington, and the daughter of Count Arcosailey of Munich. She was married in 1865 to, Lord Acton. He took a prominent part in the agitation started in the Bavarian capital in 1871, which resulted in the establishment of the old Catholics as a body. He was very active in the Catholic controversy that arose after the decrees of the Vatican council relating to Papal Infallibility. Mr. Gladstone, whenever passing through Bavaria, made his home with the Actons at Munich or in the Bavarian highlands, and Lord Acton had much to do la assisting the great English leader in his celebrated pamphlet on the Vatican decrees.
