LONDON, Septemcer 13th.

One of the lions of the season, in this case à

lioness, is Carmen Sylva, Roumania's talented Queen, now getting health and pleasure in picturesque Llandudno, the famous Welsh resort where John Bright used to love to pass his holidays

The Queen's presence is attracting many visitors, who look admiringly at the Roumanian ensign of black, yellow and scarlet displayed in front of her hotel.

While visiting Conway Castle the other day the poet, Queen, and novelist had a narrow escape. While exploring the time-worn recesses of the old ruins the Queen espied an owl, fast asleep in one of the naked arches.

Her Majesty, with almost girilah_glec, called the attention of the lady members of her suite to the bird of night. The owl, however, continued to slumber.

The Queen stepped on a low wall running by the side of the path and did not observe that the ivy six inches in front of her feet covered a chasm at least forty feet in depth.

In the nick of time an attendant caught hold of the Queen's arm and drew her back. The Mayor stated that some years ago a man had met with his death in the castle" by a similar mistake.

Her Majesty thanked the man who had grasped her royal arm so unceremoniously, and gave him a handsome present,

PARIS, September 13th. The case against M. Gounod, the celebrated musician, who is sued for 15,000 france for not keeping bis signed engagement, will soon come on for a hearing, Gounod signed to go to America and direct an orchestra for sixty

performances, for which he was to receive the sum of 200,000 francs.

When the men were ready to start and the inanciers had the money to pay over he refused to go. The only excuse he had to offer was that be fears that if he were to go to America he would be pursued before, the courts by Mrs. Georgina Weldon.

If the case is pot settled out of court curious developments are looked for, as one of the stipulated conditions was that Gounod should be accompanied by a certain woman planist. His family is making the greatest efforts to compro- mlie the matter.

The report of Colonel Ford' brings a grave indictment against the company, which, having

encountered several delays in obtaining a license for the manufacture of quick-firin powder, hood winked the Government by saying that it na longer required a license, while all the time it was wilfully and surreptitiously evading the law. and, worse still went on secretly making powder for foreign governments, which would never have been permitted by the authorities.

The report goes on to say it would be difficult to meet with more deliberate, Angrant ease of contraband manufacture, and the Armstrong Company ought to be held criminally responsible for the accident. It concludes by recommending the prosecution of the company.

Hardly was the meal finished when the entire company was taken ill, many suffering extreme pain. The doctor who was called found that the whole party had been poisoned, Antidotes were administered, but three persons have died, and the others are still in a desperate condition.

Young Campbell was sent to England three years ago by his father to attend to a lot of cattle. Being at Liverpool, and having nothing to do but wail, he went to Mexican Joe's Wild West show one night and found some old cow. boy friends with whom he had herded cattle in Texas.

Betting remains at 5 to 4 on the San Francisco boy. The amount that will change hands on the result will exceed $1,000,000. The resorts are crowded with sports from all the principal cities, as well as from Paris and Brussels, all anxiously awaiting the mill. Detectives in plain clothes are to be seen in every throng, for the authorities realize that it will be a feather in their cap if they can stop the fight and arrest the principals.

PARIS September 19'h

The Gaulois publishes from Warsaw distressing case of the miscarriage of justice.. A quartermaster of a dragon regiment at. Silesia was found dead in the street with his skull cleft. Three young recruits of that regiment were arrested near the spot, and as the quartermaster kad a bad reputation of being a martinet and had often reported them for punishment on drill, they were suspected of the murder, tried by a courtmartial and sentenced to death.

The parents of the lads tried to procura a reprieve, with a view to reopening the case, and offered heavy bail. The father of one of them, M. Pupan, a millionaire of Moscow, undertook to deposit 100,000 rubles for that purpose, but all entreaties were unavailing, and the three recruits were executed without even the delay necessary to receive an answer to the petition for a reprieve.

Two days after the execution the wife of a farrier of Silesis informed the military authorities that the re I murderer was her husband, who had discovered her relations with the quartermaster.

LISBON, September 19th. Wednesday night a mob attacked eight police- men in the streets and a conflict arose fri which stones and revolvers were freely used. Forty- two of the riolers were arrested..

The soldiers fired into the building, wounding several occupants. ___

LONDON, September 19th. The arrest of the Irish leaders yesterday still occupies a conspicuous place in the newspapers throughout the United Kingdom. This morning various explanations are surmised to account for Balfour's sudden stroke. The commonest one on the part. of the Liberal press in that its object was to prevent Dillon and O'Brien from going to America to arouse American sympathy and solicit “American aid. The Conservatives, however, scout the idea that Ballour could have acted from such a motive. They see la his present policy a laudable effort to prevent the recurrence of disorder in Ireland. On the whole, one gets the impression that the predo minant public opinion is so farextremely doubtful of the wisdom or expediency of the Government's course.

M. Constans, Minister of the Interior, proposes that indictments shall be found against the Comte de Paris, the Duchess d'Uzes and others who are now confessed plotters against the third republic in behalf of the establishment of a Bourbon dynasty.

It is now coming to be generally believed that the statement of the Duchess d'Uzes confirming the revelations which concern herself, and conferging that she personally gave 600,000 france to Boulanger to prosecute bis, politi- cal agitation for the overthrow of the republic was made for the purpose of shielding the Comte de Paris from the charges of treason and conspiracy by means of taking upon herself the blame which would otherwise have fallen directly upon the head and center of the monarchical party and would have resulted
