this portion of the year. At other times he will live in Germany and in Russia,

The relations between Emperor William and the English count are still as bad as passible, and his Majesty's recent hint that he might not be indisposed to visit his grandmother at Windsor Castle next winter, met with the frigid response, that the Queen was so much afflicted by Emperor Frederick's death that she will not be able to receive any State guests until July next.

Patli bas concluded a contract to return to

Buenos Ayres next year. Her minimum salary, I hear, will be £1,250 per night and a further share of the receipis after a certain sum has been taken in. She expects to sail about March 5th and give at least thirty-two performances,

About a fortnight ago Lord Armstrong received a confidential letter from a highly placed official at Essen offering for a substantial consideration to place at the disposal of his firm the training of the whole of the guns and projectiles which had been manufactured at Krupp's works during last year: Armstrong, after a consultation with his pariner, inclosed the letter containing the offer to Messrs. Krupp, with the result that the traitor has been dismissed and arrested.

With regard to O'Brien's threatened revelations of rascality in high Castle quarters, I will only say that if they prove to be well founded the fact ought to surprise no one who considers what the Castle really has been and what sort of men have been its minions and manipulators during the course of this and the past generations. You can't employ a man every day, from to to 4 in works of evil, in cruelty, robbery, tyranny and oppression, and expect him to be an honest man out of office hours.

It is alleged that John Bunyan wass plagiarist and that the Pilgrim's Progress" is a literal translation from the French of a work entitled "Ye Pilgrimage of Ye Sowle." by Guillaume de Guilville a monk of the fifteenth century) a translation of which was printed by Caxton in 1483 It is believed that a copy of the original French manuscript can be found either in the British Museum or in the Bodleian, and it might be worth while to search for it, in order that the. question may be decided.

DUBLIN, September 25th.

The fortnightly meeting of the National League was held in this city to-day. John Dillon pre- sided and received an ovation. In a speech he thanked his English and Scotch friends for the overwhelming sympathy shewa during his recent imprisonment. He declared that there had been a great change in English public opinion, and therefore there should be no trace of bitterness in Irish hearts. In the face of the present circumstances Irishmen should act with patience, as the Government could not lost much longer.

BUCHAREST, September 25th. -The madman who made an attempt four months ago to kill the king, fired a shot this morsing through the window of the King of Roumania's palace. He was arrested by a detective who had been employed for the King's protection. He confessed that he had carried a dagger and revolver for a year, intending to: murder the King,

OTTAWA, September 25th. The Alaska papers intimate that at Oonalaska it is understood that no seizures will be made in Behring sen this season. This would seem to be confirmed by a letter received by the Government from: Collector Henley of Victoria, who states that two, British Columbia sealers arrived from Behring sea with good cargoes. The captains say they had been spoken to by the United States revenue cutter Rush, and were asked simply what kind of weather they had experienced. No information has been received at the Marine Department respecting the seizure of the scaling schooner Aurumah, in the North Pacific ocean, on July 1st, by the Alaska Commercial Com- pany's steamer Alexander

PANAMA, September 26th.

A well informed correspondent writes to the Star and Herald: "It is learned that several contracts on the canal have been finished, turned over to the canal company and accepted after inspection. Facts are stubborn things and these 'irrefutably give the lie to the innumerable vague floating rumors in circulation about the canal company shutting down work. Of course they are shutting down, and just as fast as they can, but only at the completion of their work. Other equally important sections will also shortly shelf,

yet button-holing speculating on the 'the gloomy prospects of the Panama Canal, the cable will flash throughout christendom with the tidings that ships are floating on their way over the isthmus of Panama."

BERLIN, September 26th. Prince Bismarck made an address on Saturday at the harvest festival at Schenau.. Referring to the deaths in the royal family, he said: "The gloomy days have given way to bright sunshine. We can look with pride upon the present Emperor. He is every inch a soldier, and will fight bravely if Germany should be attacked: but he loves his subjects too much not to do his utmost to preserve peace."

WINNEPEO, September 27th,

THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1888.

Rundschau refuse to divulge the name of the 'contributor of the extracts they can be imprisoned under one of the articles of the code which Bismarck quotes in his report to the Kaiser.

The statements that Herr Von Normann and the Duke of Coburg were connected with the publication of the diary are already denied by competent parties who are in a position to know positively what the truth is in the matter.

The correspondent of the Paris Gaulois, who was expelled from Berlin recently, has hit upon the original idea, that the diary was divulged by the present Kaiser, who did so in a desire to rid himself of the prestige and supremacy of Bis- marck by weakening his fame in connection with the greatest German events of the century,

The Berlin correspondent of the Times believes that Frederick's diary was revealed by Dr. Gelincken of Hamburg, a confidant of Frederick and a frequent contributor to English magazines on German politics.

The Standard's Berlin corespondent says that if the person named by the Deutsche Rund schau proves to be the contributor an action will be directed against him, probably for treason, in the imperial court at Leipsic. The publisher of the Rundschau had 30,000 copies ready for sale. The police have made a search of the office of the Deutsche Rundschau to find documents showing who furnished the abstract of Frederick's diary. The search proved fruitless.

An Austrian paper announces that on the occasion of an excursion from Gunden to Weedmanrueth the Czarewitch was betrothed to the Princess Maude of Wales.

LATE TELEGRAMS.

LONDON, September 29th.

The Independance Belge, the principal daily newspaper published in Brussels, gives a fore- cast of the contents of the pamphlet which Sir Morell Mackenzie is about to publish in his defence against the recent violent attack upon him by the German doctors who were in attend- ance with him upon the late Emperor Frederick of Germany,

It is stated that Sir Morell will show that the use of Gerbard's electrical appliance to cauterise the growth in the Emperor's throat produced the cancer, and that the use of the imperfect cannula or tube by Dr. Bramana after the operation of tracheotomy had been performed and the rough and clumsy, treatment of Dr. Bergmann in inserting and withdrawing the cannula hastened the death of the patient.

Sir Morell is further said to maintain that if he had only been left alone to follow his own methods without interference by the German doctors he could have prolonged the Emperor's life by at least twenty months.

The Central News Agency of London has added to these reports the statement that Sir Morell will devote part of his pamphlet to a description of the daily life and habits of the Emperor, and give a long collection of statistics, showing the fatal character of operations for the removal of the larynx, which the German doctors proposed, but which Sir Morell, with the con- currence of the Emperor himself, successfully resisted, preferring the alternative of tracheotomy,

September 30th.

The cavalry, which had marched along a road covered by jungle, arrived some minutes before the infantry, and immediately surrounded the compound of therest-house. The infantry searched the grounds and out-houses and found that the evil disposed people had shut themselves up in the main building, After three summonses in Javanese, which were partly drowned by the religious singing (dikir) of the evil disposed pro- ple, the doors were forced open, whereupon, after further summonses, 42 persons, including women and children surrendered themselves. They were bound and taken away. The remainder, among whom was one who came with a klewang in a menacing attitude into the inner room, appeared unwilling to surrender, notwithstanding that after each shot they were summoned to do so. In the fight which ensued in the house, eight of the evil disposed people who bad fortified themselves in an apartment were one by one shot down, Three who attempted to escape were killed by the cavalry, Among those killed was also the leader, a man of low birth, who, through fanaticism had obtained some followers and had taken upon himself the title of Imam Sampoma. Some pikes, of which one was considered an haly, and also some klewangs and swords, as well as a rifle, were captured.":

With what object the movement was set on foot is not yet known, as the prisoners declare, that they had blindly followed their leader without knowing his aim; they only knew that the nearest object was holy bathing in Telaga Passir, a sheet of water near Sawangan in the district of Magetan (Madioen). As in the meantime not one of those who were in the rest-house escaped, and the affair has apparently met with no support from the population, who have been perfectly quiet, the attempted rising, if it did really exist, can be regarded as entirely suppressed..

The Resident and the Pangeran Adipati returned on the 13th inst., with the greatest portion of the troops, to the chief town,

At about 1.30 the same morning the body of another woman, whose throat had been cut, was discovered in a back yard io Berner-street, off Commercial-road, which runs between White- chapel and the East India Docks.

Profound excitement and indignation prevail throughout the metropolis at the failure of the police authorities to make any arrests or to obtain any trustworthy clue to the perpetrators of the atrocious murders of the last few days. The sickening details of the occurrence at the corner of Fenchurch and Leadenhall streets, eclipse the horrors of the Whitechapel murder. which took place some days ago. It is doubted by the police if the Berner-street murder belongs to the same class as the rest. The victims in the other cases all belong to the unfortunate class.
