crowded with spectators anxious to
watch the proceedings in the case of
Adolph B. Sprockets, on trial for

Sarah Althea Hill, or Mrs. Sena

called at the office of Itcuben II.
ILloyd, attorney, and demanded an
affidavit setting forth-his belief that
she was of good moral character.'
The lawyer declined, for private rea
'soiis that he promised to give tho

Waxing furious over the refusal,
Sarah whipped out a nickel-plated
ircvolver and stuck it under Lloyd's
iiiose. He was too quick for her,
though, aud slamming the door be

effectually witli a spring lock the
door was fitlqd with. Mrs. Sharon,
.after noisy demonstrations outside,
was spirited away by some friends.

(influence to induce Lloyd to testify
to her character.

Riel was ' taken into camp al

He evidently was the most frightened
in camp, and was in constant fear
of violence at the hands of the sold

expressed himself to his captors as
follows: "I do not think this trou
ble will be withorit result, as tlc
complaints of tlic farmers will now
be regarded with some degree of
attention." When told that his'
books and papers hud been captured
he said: "I anij glad. This,-will

NEGOTIATIONS.
May lGth, Earl Giauville was an
nounced to have consented to the
Afghan frontier rectification made
by Russia.
On the above d.itc the lliitish
Government issued diplomatic
papers whtch state that Her Majesty's
Government will be compelled to
regard as a hostile net any move
ment nf Russia toward Herat. On
the other hand, it is announced that
Russia has spontaneously disclaimed
any menacing intention in regard to
Herat. The British Government is
therefore-favorably inclined to consi
der that the question at issue between
England and Russia has reached a
settlement satisfactory to both coun
tries. The documents submitted to
Parliament cover the Anglo-Russian
dispute up to the time of the Penj-
dch incident and show of aggres
sion on the part of the Russian Gov
ernment upon the Ameer's territory,
of which Herat is the salient point.
The Afghan correspondence, deal
ing with the Pcnjdcli battle, wns to
have been presented to Pailiament
last week. The Conservatives were
to propose a vote of censure in both
houses.
May 19th, the ZYmc said al
though nothing had happened to
Justify any serious alarm, yet the
situation could not'bo regarded with
out anxiety by persons well ac
quainted with all tho bearings of tho
question.
St. Petersburg telegrams attribute
the delay in making a settlement to
the Russian demand for a represen
tative at Cabul and the continued
presence of English officers at Herat.
Russian papers continue to 'make
indignant comments on the alleged
unflagging preparations which Eng
land is making for war.
'London morning papers of May
20th express the opinion that the
detention of Guards at Alexandria,
and of the Austrian contingent at
Aden, is1 on account bf the attitude
of Russia, and that the P,orte is a
scrioiAs. obstacle in the way of com
pleting negotiations for peace.
Advices from Sir-i-pool received
in London on the 20th say that Sir
Peter Lumsden's advice to the gov
ernment was that, ',in view of recent
events, it was best to break up the
Commission, leaving the Govern
ment itself to settle the question
with Russia.

Gladstone's statement of March 13th
was a fiction' and a phantom, with
out 'the smallest justification.
. Mr. Gladstone replied amid con
tinuous and 'noisy Conservative in
terruptions. When tho 'noise reach
ed its climax Ttfr. Gladstone stopped
fop several , minutes. Then in a
broken voice he remarked .lhat this
new kind of 'political warfare was of
Jittlc matter to him, whose personal
presence was a question of months
jatlier than years. Tho Opposition
remained silent during the rest of
the speech. Mr. Gladstone said he
wag unable yet to explain fully the
Anglo-Russian agreoment of March
J.7th, but he believed it to be a cove
nant of the most sacred character.
