M. March 17th. The execution of Frans Schneider, for the murder of servant girls, took place early this morning. But little interest was taken in the affair. The approaches to the law courts in Landiskeright sirasse, where the executes took place, were strongly guarded, and but eighty spectators were permitted to view the execution.. When Schneider approached the gallows, shortly after 7 o'clock, his strong frame trembled and bis face grew ghastly pale. It was evident that his brutal nature was subdued and that he was agony and fear of the fate awaiting him. While belag pintoned at the gallows he struggled and brickced "Oh, na; in God's name, l'ill my anything." The nooie was quickly thrown arround swung two ausistants grasped the hanging man by the arms and legs and pulled downward with all their strength. Schneider was sirangled to death in four minutes. No cap was used, and every expression and change of color in the man's face was discernible. It was so horrible that the spectators were compelled to turn away.

The bills passed require the assent of the Queen only to become law. In questions of Jurisdiction between the English and Scottish bodies the matter is to be referred to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. The executive government of Scotland is vested in the Queen with And carried on by a Secretary for Scotland officers and council as provided by the Legia lature. The Legislature is authorized to impose taxes, other than customs or excise dailes, and create a consolidated fond separate from that of the United Kingdom. All revenues are to be appropriated through the public service of Scot land. Scottish contriballons toward the main tenance of impurial establishments shall be pro- portionate to those payable by England and Wales.

The second paction of the blil treats of the judicial government. It provides that the existing civil and criminal courts shall be maintained, subject, however, to abolition or alteration, and judges can be removed by the Legislature requesting the Queen to do so. The bill provides that the power and the authority of the imperial Parliament shall not be diminished or restrained by anything herein contained. The present bill is worthy of comparison to Gladstone's first home rule bill.

PARIS, March 20th,

It is learned that the bourse interest in the suspended Banque Generale des Chemins de Fer et d'Industrie amounted to nothing. Ite nominal capital was only 6,250,000 francs and its cilents were investors on the smallest scale, The directors were men of no financial mark, It appears that Ducoaran, the President of the bank, who commited suicide, was an honest man, but was victimized by his colleagues in the directorate, several members of which have bad reputations.

The exciting news from Berlin is the general topic in political circles this evening it com- cerns nothing less than the combined effort of the German kings and princes to bring Emperor William to reason, or at least to restrain his power.

It appears to be true that Chancellor Caprivi tendered his resignation to the young Emperor, who refused to accept it and who has even loft Berlin in a fit of anger, to escape taking a decision for some time to come.

The whole German nation is awakening to a reallastion of the Emperor's physical and mental infirmity, caused by his car trouble, and it has been actually stated that the Regent of Bavaria is summoning a private conference of the kings of Saxony and Wurtemburg and the Grand Druices of Gotha and Bare-Welmat, si well as other leading princes of Germany, Ito consider how the Emperor can be restrained if bls symptoms of irritability increase."

In fact, the Kaiser is in a delicate position, and the fact that there should be found people in Prussia to support the idea of such a conference shows how his popularity has waned. Unles he moderates his pretensions very seriously he may receive a lesson the like of which the modern world has not before seen.

BRUSSELS, March 20th.". Police to-day made a further seizure of anarchist documents. It is reported that the recent mine explosion at Andrennis was the work of a spiteful miner. At Liege to-day an infernal machine was discovered on the threshold of the residence of the Chief of Police.

LONDON, March 21st, Arthur Goring Thomas, a well-known writer of operas, committed suicide to-day by throwing himself before a train on the Metropollten Ralf way.

The composer was returning from a visit to kis brother at the time of his death. He aither fell or threw himself on the track. A bystander clutched his coat, but was obliged to let go to save himself.

Thomes received fatal injuries and expired immediately. He had long suffered from diatness, which several times led to accidents. For this reason an impression prevalls in some quarters that he did not commit suicide.

Rey. Henty Powell of Bayswater committed suicide last night at Padbury vicarage, Dear Buckingham. No reason is known for the set. The Standard's Warsaw correspondent says: The Russian troops at Kalish have been ordered to have all the arms and accoutrements in readiness and dynamite bombs and electrical batteries In good order, so that within half an hour after notice they may cross the frontier and destroy Prussian communications.

The reason assigned for the suicide and flight is that the amharities were about to institute legal proceedings against the directors of the bank on charges of fraudulent bankruptcy and obtaining money under false pretenses. The
