Dublin, May 21. Meetings of sympathy
with Mr. Parncll contiuuo to bo hold in
almost every district, and at every one of
them protests are mado against tho tone of
tho Pope's circular.
Dublin, May 21. The relonso of Carey,
tho informer, which had been confidently
expected and which was announced
through ono of tho American cablo agencies,
is untrue. It is true that ho and his
friends counted on his release so confidently
that he announced his intention of
remaining in Dublin, facing tho men whom
ho regarded as his friends, and of vigorously
prosecuting such of his fennnts as
had to rofuso to pay rent for their premises
while he was under arrest. Ho was
sent back to Kilmninham Jail, and the
Government is understood not to have made
any promise of an early release. ,

Sr. Petersburg, Mny 21. Tlio Moscow
dispatches, both from official and newspaper
soirees, arc very much moro encouraging
than they havo been for several days.
There were definite and reasonable fours
that serious annoyance and sensational
facta would accompany the trip of tho Czar
and Czarina to Moscow, but tho resultjjis
quite contrary. Not only wore there no
revolutionary attempts and no annoyance,
but when the Imperial party renched the
old Capital to-day they mot with an enthusiastic
reception from the populace as
well as from the authorities.

Paris, May 21. An effort will bo mado
in tho Chamber of Deputies in the early
part of this week to lako from tho table
the bill in relation to popular
on public thoroughfares, and the
Republicans will probably make a vigorous
fight to secure its passage. Some of
th3 clauses of tho bill are stringent. Evory
person participating in such demonstrations
is liable to hnprJKonment of from ten
days to six months, and with fines of from
100 to 4,000 francB. A violent discussion
Is anticipated.

Rome, May 21. It is believed now that
the threat of resignation on the part of the
DePretis Cabinet, and the subsequent
of the Government's position by
tho Chamber waB only a prelude to the reorganization
of the Cabinet, for which the
double movement was a protoxt. Somo of
the elements aro inharmonious, and they
will probably bo eliminated, so as to throw
tho Government legislative body into as
complete accord as possible

New York, May 21. A special cablo to
the Herald from 1'ai is to-day says : Tho
Palais Royal murderers have been arrested
in Brussels, and have confessed their guilt
Ono is a Belgian named Alphonso Rcgheim
and the other a Frenchman named Blin. In
broad daylight, whilo tho careless Sunday
crowds were streaming up and down tho
galleries of tho Palais Royal, two ruffians
Bticcceded in entering tlio back shop of a
jeweler named Prestiot, throttling a servant
girl and making off with jewelry
valued at S10.000. They quietly gained the
Bolgian territory. It is the fashion to draw
comparisons between tho French and
American polico grqatly to tho disadvantage
of the latter. But it is doubtful that
a murder so nudaotous and public could occur
in New York or London without immediate
detection.
Tho following aio tho facts of tho crimo:
Last Sunday at 1 o'clock, Prcstiot's shop
being closed and guarded only by Cesarino,
the servant, Begheim, who is the husband
of one of the shop women, and his accomplice
Blin, an employe of a wine merchant,
were prowling about outsido of tho
back of the shop, which has two entrances,
one facing tho garden, the oher facing the
Rue Montpcnsicr. A few minutes previously
Mine. Begheim, who for some timo
has lived apart from her husband, had
loft the counter for tho afternoon, and it
being a holiday, she had gone to tho country.
In the Ruo Montponsier she saw
Bcghcim, and even exchanged a few words
with him, 'but felt no alarm, though afterward
bhc remembered having been asked
several suspicious questions about who was
to be in the shop that afternoon. Shortly
alter, it is supposed, Uesariue opened the
street door for pome reason, and Begheim
and Blin, who were watching tlioir opportunity,
pushed in and closed the door
them.
They followed Cesarino through an -outer
room, used as a kitchen, into a small parlor,
where, at the loot of a winding staircase
U'ud.ng to the first floor,
and strangled their helpless victim
with a leather belt worn by one of them.
Begheim and Blin accuso each other of
performing the actual strangling. Each
doggedly declares that he only hem tlio
woman while the other murdered her. This
delicnte point is of slender importance. Having
disposed of the only obstacle which
they dreaded, they, with a carving knifo,
turned the koy of tho inner door leading
into a shop fronting tho gardon, and filled
two bags at leisure with all the valuable
rings, stones and jewels that they could
lay their hands on, viz., eighty-eight lockets,
12(3 bracelets, soventy cliaiiiB and 1C0
scarf pins and rings. Prestiot, like most
Palais Royal jewelers, dealt both in imitation
and real goods. Tho assassins carefully
avoided burdening themselves with
tho former. On Thursday night tho polico
wcro infqrmod that tho two men of doubtful
appearance had passed tho night at a
houso of ill-fame in the Rue St. Laurent,
Brussels, where they hud attracted attention
by recklessly giving away rings and
bracelets. Tho polico took advarUago of
tho clew thus afforded and Blin was forthwith
arrested. When capturod" ho was
surrounded by treaohorous Delilahs to
whom he was offering $50 chains for ten
francs apiice, and diamond bracelets for a
kiss.
At first ho protested his innocence, stating
ho bought tho jewels at London last
year. Pressed with searching questions,
ho finally confessed he helped Begheim to
commit the murder, and revealed the hiding
place of a portion pf the stolen valuable
b at a neighboring hotel. Bogheim
was then arrested in a wine shop near by.
Ho likewise mado a partial confession, and
gave up his jewels. Neither Bogheim nor
Blin made serious resistance. The assassins
aro offendora well known to tho French
polico. They first met eaqh othor in tho
prison at La Sanfe. There they wero serving
terms for thoft, Bogheim is a dead-beat
of the worst description, who waB such
a Bourco of annoyanco to his respectable
and unfortunate wife, she was obligod ' to
loavo him and earn hor own living. Ho
had boon employed for a short time to t&ko
down the shutters at Prestiot's, but was
dismissed for drunkenness and
lie is a man of low and repulsive
thirty or thirty-five yoars old, with
hard features, Bhifty oyos, very high cheek
bonea and coarse, sensual lips. Blin is tall,
Iosb villainouB looking and smooth shaven.
Ho is agod Ho was born in
Auxorro, and will consequently, no doubt
bo extradited. Begheim, boing a Bolgian
Bubject, will bo tried in his own country.
Both prisonors are at pr'csont incarcerated
in tho prisop Dos Potits Cannes, at Brussels.
It may bo remembered, that the body
of the victim was discovered by Mine.
on returning from her country excursion
on a' Sunday .night. For a moment
she horsolf was suspected by tho French
authorities. There is not the slightest
grounds, however, for tho suspicion, as she
is of irreproachable character, charming,
and much beloved by an in tho shop.
The parjor in which tho murder was committed
is a small, dark room about ten feet
square, of tho usual French pattern. On
ono side is a buffet, on the other
tho winding referred to. It being
Sunday the shutters were up both on
the Ruo Montpcnsicr and Palais Royal
frontages, which to some extent explains
the ease with which tho assassins
evaded detection. Tho greatest excitement
has been caused in Paris by
tlic tragio affair, and tho Palai3
lloyal snopkcepors, feeling little faith in
tfio securiiy ollered them by tlio police,
have orgaui.cd an amateur police brigade
to patrol their uruades at intervals during
the night and prevent the occurrence of the
thefts and deeds of violenco which have so
frequently taken pluce lately, owing to tho
singular toleration shown to tho disreputable
characters, initio and femnlc, who infest
the pretty and once fashionable Palais
Royal Garden.
CU STER'S MASSACRE.
ft. Truo Account nit I.nst, Given toy n
Sqttjtw.
St. Paul, May 21. Since General Custer
and his command of throo hundred were
massacred by tho braves of Sitting Bull,
lwo or three accounts have been given, each
of which purpotted to bo a true history of
tho fight. But of the particulars of the
scene there havo been only meager accounts.
The Pioneer Press now publishes
an interview between a correspondent nt
Standing Rock Agency and tho wife of Tn-
tatukahcglcska, or Spotted Horn Bull. This
woman is first cousin of Sitting Bull, and
the story is vouched for as being a true account
of the battle. Aftor describing
Hie advanco and tho retreat
of TMajorJ Reno, whom she declared
to be either drunk or crazy, and his
men thoroughly panic-stricken tho woman
stated that the retreat and its consequent
slaughter wns scarcely ended whon the
blare of Custer's trumpots told tho Sioux of
his approach; but they wore prepared for
him. The men quietly crossed the river,
and hundreds galloped to his rear out of
range at first, but soon hemming him in
constantly narrowing circles. Tho woman
mounted her pony and rodo behind hei
camp, where she could get a good, view of
the hills beyond. She saw the troops como
up and dismount. Each fourth man soized
the bridles of throo horses besides his own.
The rest deployed and advanced on tho run
toward tho river. Sho saw the terrible
effect of the withering fire
which greetod the approach from tlio
willows on tho Indians' sido of
the stream, and laughed as she said: " Our
people, boys and all, had plonty of guns
and ammunition to kill the new soldiers.
Those who had run away loft.thcm behind."
Slowly trotting north along the outskirts of
tho encampment, she noted tho Indians who
had crossed getting closer to the troops.
She watched tho latter thoso who wero
left of them retreat to their horses and
mount. 'Sho heardj tho yells of her kindred
and the shouts of the whites; but soon,
as the former grew plontior and the latter
fewer, she could distinguish little save here
and there an animated cliutcr of men nnd
horses.
Slowly her pony jogged down tho stream.
When she i cached the Minnecon'o camp, on
tho extreme left, not an hour's ride, she
said not one white soldier was visiblo on
tho field. Of horses there were plenty;
these the Indians spared. Tjio Custer men
wero soon stripped and the Indians knew
they had killed tho long-haired chief, by
his buckskin coat trimmed with beaver
which they found upon him. The Sioux
lost. thirty killed and moro than twico as
many wounded, the Indians numbering
6.000 in all.

Deadwood, Dak., May 21. A Btorm began
here yestorday morning, with tho highest
water ovor known. Whitowood stream
runs through the heart of tho city. The
channol was cut 100 yards wide, and
everything went before tho flood. All tho
towns up tho gulch wero badly damaged
Pennington is entiroly gone Tho
valley is flooded, and Spoarfish
is washed away. Crook City is
nearly all gono. Tho water is now falling,
though thcro is muoh snow in tho mountains
yet. Georgo Chandler and wifo and
two unknown men aro known to be
drowned. Tho loss is roughly estimated
at $600,000. Ropo and basket communication
is established between tho two posts of
tho city.
Bismarck, Dak., May 21. Tho Tribune's
special gives additional facts as to tho
flood at Deadwood. A hoavy snow and
flood roportcd somo days ago in a dispatch
from Stevenson was at Dead-wood,
and additional rain had fallen
almost overy day for a month, making
tho roads impassable, and saturating
tho ground thoroughly, with water.
This was followed by a heavy fall
of snow, which disappeared rapidly
undor tho heavy, warm rain of Friday
night and Saturday. Tho gulches at tho
valleys in tho hills aro from a fow hundred
foot to probably a quarter of a mile wide,
generally. Deadwood is at tho junction of
the "Whitowood and Deadwood gulches.
Numorous gulches in this caso emptied
thoir accumulation of wator from tho
mountains into theso two mnin
gulchos and gave a volume of water
that rushed down Whitewood in
a resistless force. Central, this city,
Anchor City, and Golden Gate, aro on
tho Deadwood, abovo Deadwood City. Tho
greater portion of Central would bo above
tho flood, but for Anchor and Golden Gate
thoro was no esoape. Tho gulch is not over
COO feet wido. Deadwood iB a town of 5,000
people. Tho main rosidenco portion of the
city is from 100 to 800 foot abovo tho
gulch, and tho main business portion is
above tho danger line. Tho portion destroyed
was occupied by cheap tenement
houses, hotels,
laundries, small traders, sporting houses,
livory stablos, etc. Bome of the buildings
were built ovor tho Btroam, which, at Us
ordinary stage, is but a fow feet wide. Its
locality wus avoided, howovor, by shrewder
interests, for danger was recognized. In
this case timoly warning ,was given by
means of the teJcphono system existing in
the Hills and the most valuablo articles
wero removed. So far but three bodies
have been recovered, but it is now belioved
tho loss of lifo has beon groat. The wild
excitement was only equaled by that at
tho time of the fire.

Sheriff's office, was standing in tho passageway
of the City Hall station of tho

what ho was doing there. Rickard
wished to know by what authority ho
asked tho question. Comstock replied
that ho possessod sufficient authority to

Knnitnry Experiments With Convicts.
Rome, May 21. An interesting debate
took place in Parliament last wcok on the
employment of convicts in agricultural
operations, which has been going on for
somo years at the Abbey of tho Tre Fontano
in tho Roman Campagna, undor tho
The object with which these works
were started was to ascortain if tho cultivation
of the soil would result in purifying
the air of tho Campagna, the gonoral opinion
being that tho malaria is caused by
atmospheric influences unsusceptible of
modification. Tho results havo boon most
satisfactory. At first tho monks wore
obliged to livo within tho city walls during
the bad season, but sinco tho ground has
come undor cultivation, and, above all,
since the Eucalyptus globulus has been
Silantcd on a large scale in tho
tho Abbey has beon inhabited all tho
year round, and the fevers which its inmates
still 4omotimos suffer, are of a mild
character, rarely fatal ; whereas, at
tho outset something liko a fourth of tho
littlo community succumbed overy yoar.
Tho dobato proved that tho health of the
two hundred and eighty convicts omploycd
on tho works was satisfactory, tho avorago
annual deaths from malaria not oxcocding
threo. Tho Government has lately mode a
vory largo grant of land m perpotulty to
tho Trapplsts, who havo already plantod on
it no fower than one hundred thousand
eucalyptus trees, whioh aro all doing well
