LONDON, May 24th. The Pall Mall Gazette printed a paragraph said to have been written by Mrs. Weldon, accusing a divorced woman in her letter of having unjustly placed the woman's husband in an insane asylum, this being a charge which the judge who granted the divorce had refused to consider. The Gazette was sued for libel and condemned to pay the penalty, amounting, with costs, to $9,000, Mr. Yates Thompson, the proprietor of the paper, said to Mr. Stead, the Editor: "This was entirely your fault; you have been taking Weldon and every other crank who came along, and you must suffer this your self or resign the editorship." Mr. Stead is a poor man, but decided to pay the amount rather then vacate his position,

LONDON, May astb.

The splendid way in which Sir Thomas Farrer bas fought the Sugar Convention Bill at every stage has suggested to many leading Liberals in the north of England the desirability of making an effort to induce him to enter Partiament in the Liberal interests. Sir Thomas, if he would consent to stand, would make an ideal candidato No higher authority on questions of trade and of finance exists in England. For a quarter of a century he held the office of Permanent Secretary of the Board of Trade, and he only retired from that office in 1886. As regards his political opinions he is in favor of a policy of Home Rule for Ireland. For a long time, indeed, he was classed as a Liberal Unionist but the proceed. ings before the Parnell Special Commission have produced such an impression on bis mind that he is now prepared to contend in favor of granting to Ireland very extensive powers of self-govern ment. That Sir Thomas has still an appetite for public work, he showed conclusively by con- senting to serve on the London County Council. He received, bis baronetcy from Mr. Gladstone in 1823.

OTTAWA, May 27th,

I interviewed Sir John Macdonald to-day regarding the Behring Sea matter: "Do you know anything about the promises of protection to Canadian fishing vessels?" Sir John: Nothing whatever." "Could such promises have been made without your knowledge?" Sir Johe: "Certainly they could, but it would be very unlikely." "Suppose Canadian fishing vessels are molested? Sir John: "It is not at all un- likely they will be molested outside of the three mile limit" "But Canadian schooners have been molested and are now unter seizure?" "Yes," Sir John admitted." Canadian schooners have been molested, and I think it very mean that they have not been brought to trial. The fact is the United States Government knows that its absurd pretension about Behring Sea being. mare clausem cannot be maintained," "Ought not the Government to demand redress for these seizures "Lord Salisbury has been doing nothing but demanding redress ever since the Canadian Government made representation to the Home Government, and the Imperial Government took immediate action. Of course, if the United States Government refused to respect, the law of nations there are only three courses for us. My own opinion is that if the United States Government acknowledges itself to be wrong, the matter will be referred to arbitration. I know what the opinion of President Cleveland's Government was on this question and the law of nations has not altered since the change of Government."

There is an end of the projected marriage of the Czarowitch in the Princess Alexandra of Hesse. The Emperor never regarded the match with auch favor, well knowing that no German alliance would be popular among any classes in Russia, and being himself anxious that his eldest son should marry a member of the ortho. des church. The Empress would have liked the Czarowitch to marry one of the daughters of the Prince of Wales, but this is impossible, as the laws of the Greek Church absolutely forbid the marriage of first cousins. The result is that the Czarowitch will shartly be betrothed to the Princess Helen of Montenegro, the fourth daughter of Prince Nicholas, who was born in 73, is strikin, ly handsome, very clever and highly accomplished.

It is now in contemplation to arrange a mar. riage between the Princess Alexandra of Hesse and Prince Ferdinand of Hoberzillern, nephew and beir to King Charles of Roumania. The Queen would be glad to see the P incess Alex- andra married to Prince Albert Victor. There does not appear to be any prospect of this match coming off. Prince Ferdinand has a large fortune and King Charles is now to allow him 15.000 a year, and presumably he will inherit a considerable portion of His uncle's vast wealth.

Private telegrams received from London yesterday and this morning describe the tea marker as in a most unsatisfactory condition. Considering the delay here and the moderate shipments from the North, it was rather to bel expected that there would have been a return of confidence. But as it is not so, it is evident that the disorganized state of the market caused by recent failures in the trade is more serious than! at first thought. It may be also, to some extent, that the supplies both here and in the North are regarded as much too large.

Presently I could not even lie down for the pain all over my body. I asked my doctor what he thought of my condition, and be frankly said, "I am sorry to have to tell you that you are gering worse!!!
