That He Would He King.
London, Nov. 2. Prime Minister Salis
bury lias handed (Her lo the Itijilit Hon.
Joseph Chamberlain, secretary of state
Tor Hie colonies, tue memorandum trans
mitted to lilra by the United State" gov
ernment through Ambassador Bayard rel
ative to the Venezuelan question, Mr.
Chamberlain Mill holds the ojiluiuii that
the United States has no right to intirferc
lu Ureal Britain's dipute with Venezuela,
but he will draft a detailed reply to the
memorandum, vvhith Lord Sali-bur will
shortly send to Mr. Bavard.
The tone or the reply will probably be
moderate and amicable, as the gov eminent
has no desire to become Involved in a
disifute with the United States, Its atten
tion now being fully devoted to matters
that are more important than the Guiana
boundary question.
Mr. Chamberlain will begin immediately
the consideration ot the details of his
treat plan to develop the crown colonies.
This subject will occupy most or his time
until the reassembling of Parliament on
November 15. The plan'Iargely concerns
Africa, but it will also aim to encourage
the commercial interests of British Guiana
and to assist Dominica.
WILCOX DIVOUCE CASK.
The divorce case of Wilcox vs. Wilcox,
which has been decided at Turin, Italy,
Id faor of the wife, the petitioner, is
considered of great importance, as It
creates a precedent. The lacls in the case
Trill bear repetition, as they shoiv that
fortune and litle-huuting are not confined
to Europeans.
Uobert Wilcox, the rcsioudent. Is the
Hawaiian revolutionary imminent lea'der,
who was recently sentenced to death for
tils connection with the royalist movtment
caict tue'Hawaiian republic. Ills now
divorced wife is the Barone-ss Gina Sobnra,
who Is well known in Italy under the
pseudonym of "Mantca." She Is a brilliant
writer and belongs to a distinguished fam
ily of Piedmont. Her mother was a member
or the princely family of Celonna Dl
Etlgliano.
The Baroness met Wilcox In Turin,
whither he had been scut Jiy the govern
ment of the Sandwich Islands for the pur
pose of btudylng military tactics. He was
, man of fine presence and spent money
freely He declared that he was the heir
to the throne or Hawaii, and iu other ways
deluded people into the belief that be was a
person of importance. The Baroness was
deeply Impressed by the man and hisstnries
end they soon became betrothed. The
Baroness obtained the consent of her fam
ily to the betrothal, and the wedding that
followed In due course was a great socicty
affair. Many magnificent presents were
received, including one that was ostcnslbly
eni by the King of the Sandwich Islands.
NOT A KING.
Some time arter the wedding Wilcox
returned lo Hawaii, accompanied by his
wire. Upon their arrival there the baroness
was greatly surprised nud shocked to learn
that her husband, Instead of being the heir
to the throne, was simply one or the many
half breeds of the islands. He. she dis
covered, was the son or a white man, a
carpenter, by a Kanaka woman. When
Wilcox found that his duplicity liad been
discovered he feared that his wire would
leave him and denounce him. He tlierefure
kept her uuder lock and key and ill-treated
her lu other ways.
At the beginning of 1SJ5 Wilcox tried
to foment a resolution against the republic,
was arrested, tried by a court martial and
ieutenced to death, w lilch sentence vvassub
sequeutly commuted to imprisonment for
thlrtv The years. The baroness, nrier a
scries or romantic adventures, succeeded
lu makir-g her way back lo Italy, where
proceedings were begun to bring atumt n
dissolution or the marriage. The church
readily gave Its consent to the divorce,
as Wlli-ox was not a Catholic, and a dls
pensatlou had not been aked for the mar
rlagefroni the religious authorities.
Greater difficulty was met with iu the
civil courts, as there is no divorce Isw in
Italy The Italian law only annuls mar
riages, In cases or mistaken Identity. The
court has now for the rirst lime annulled
a marriage on the ground that one or
the parties lo II is a detriment to society
and assumed titles and a position that w ere
cot his own.
N ICA KAGUAN CONTROV ERS Y .
It is stated lu London that the American
commission appointed to investigate the
Hlcuragua Canal is llkelj lo reiwrt favor
ably on the scheme. If this report should
prove to be correct it Is probable that there
will be another controversy between the
United States ami Great Britain in reference
to certain old treaty rights.
The -well-known sporting paper, the
Field, has been printing a series of articles,
kased on the New York-London Athletic
Clubs contest, attacking the s.vsti-m or
amateurism as it prevails in the United
Elates. It says that many or the so-called
amateurs are fed, clothed, and kept free hy
rlcli cluhs. liven a bruklajer, ir a good
athlete, may be put on the books or a tmi
rerslty, supported Tree and put In a team
as an amateur. An old Harvard man sends
letter to the Field, which is published to
day, declaring that such nialpmclleesu re un
known at his university, but, as regards
the general state or amateur athletli s in
America, he says he docs not pretend to
deny that-there are the most lamentable
cases or thinly covered professionalism,
to the ranks of American-amateurs,
English athletes will not rest under the
crushing defeat inflicted by the Americans
on the London Athletic Club There is
talk or challenging the New York Athletic
Club and securing ror a contest the licst
team that England can produce. The

Tokio, Oeti lOrvin Steamer-EvaSidalfo.
The execution' of the ffrst'batth of seven
criminals, convicted of complicity In tlie
Ku Cheng massacre. Is said to ha e been a
very gruesome nfralr.
Up to the prc lous day it had not been
known that theexeeutlon would takeplace,
but on the evening of September 10 In
structions came from I'ckiu, and the fol
lowing morning the men were taken lo the
execution ground.
Only one head was completily bevered at
the tirst blow, the otliersix pri-imers lieiug
inert ly hacked a Ikiui the neck and k-rttodfe.
The seven men were Ting Huang Klang,
who stabbed Mr. Stewart; Lung Nang
Ning, who did the same, as well as as
sisting in the mllrder oi Mrs. Stewart;
Ling r-cug, who helped lo kill the ladies
alter the flag earner Lang Tail Kiang, who
attempted to kill one ot the cliildn n; Yck
Ming Nik, who bna-u.il he liad killrd a
little one about seven years bid and nl-o
nssislcsl in the murder of the ladies; Ling
King Suk, who helped to kill .the sisters;
Sal Nub Long, avIio confessed to having
stabbed tno persons(a iialIeoflliiig Sang
Pang, where the fir-t trouble with the Vege
tarians tonk place1.
The standard bearer to Cluo Hi lias been
arrested, and another of the leaders, Ho
Tick, known as the "HutU-rily," is sup
Jiosesl to have committed .suicide while In
custody by Jumping over a bridge iulo a
deep ramie.
The crowd that assembled to witness
the execution showed no signs of sympa
thy with the criminal, but apptared satis
fied that Justice had been done.
After theexeeutlon the Chinese displayed
a strong disposition lo relax their efforts,
but the foreign commission In-lsted that
the trials should procceil as before. The
lalest intelligence, dated September 28,
says that Tao Tal, by orders of the vice
roy, hail put a stop lo the executions and
released forty convicted prisoners, hi-s con
tention being that the ends or Justice had
been amply satisfied.
It would Seem that the object of the
Chinese officials was to procure the ac
quittal of all jier-ons except those actu
ally concerned iu the murder a programme
that would save altogether from punish
ment any Vegetarians who, though form
ing part of the attacking parties, did not
get within striking distance or the vic
tims. Against sueh perfunctory methods the
foreign consuls ami commissioners pro
tested vehemently, sending at the same
time telegraphic information to their rep
resentatives at Pekin that unless strong
support was given them their further stay
at Ku Cheng would be futile.
The result Is not yet known, but nt the
date of latest advices the Vegetarians were
said to be massing for the purpose or at
tacking Ku Cheng.
As for the native Christians who gave
evidence tending to facilitate the arrest
and condemnation of the murderers, they
are said to have become objects of popu
lar execration.

fight In Arkansas. norwiU there, be one
anywhere else for that matterunless the
complexion of affairs undergoes; a. total
and altogether unexpected charge within
a few hours. The pugilists have made an
uncondUlonalfiHrrc'nderand'ihe long-looked
for battle for the championship of America
passes Into history as a fizzle without u
redevminc feature.
It was 2 o'clock this morning when the
Hot Springs Athletic Club people became
convinced that they were waglnjr a hope
less Ill-lit against the Governor and the
courts. When they had reached this de
cision Col. Mnrpny and City Attorney
Marlln. or Hot Springs, who represented
the club, called uikjii the Governor at his
re-ldence.
Notwithstanding his assertion earlier In
the evening that tne matter was liefore the
courts and cotisequ-iitly out of his hands,
he expres-ed a willingness to do what he
could toward securing favorable terms
for the pugilists, and Attorney General
Kinswortny was summoned to Join the
conrcrence- It was nearly daylight when
the terms of peace were ixmuuded.
TER.MS OF PEACE.
It was agreed on the part or the State
that the proceeding oil the peace warrants
should be withdrawn, ami the Hot Springs
people, speaking for tho pugilists, under
took that there should lie no attempt to
pull orr the light, anil that the rival sluggers
should leave the State as seniu as they
could conveniently do so. The Injunction
t-sucd by Chanretlor Martin was to stand,
and It was understood that any violation
or its terms would i-mall tne sure lust penalty
that could be luflieted in a contempt priF"
ccedlng-
These terms were ratified in a con
ference held at 10 a. m. When the Fitz
simmons case e-ame up before Judge Martin
iu the circuit court tlie attorney general
asked for a postponement, stating mat ar
rangements were' in progress to dismiss
all the case-, against the pugilists. Every
oue knew then that the last hope of bring
ing off the fight In Arkansas had flickered
out.
At 11.30 Judge Hemingway, acting for
the attorney general, appeared in Judge
Martin's court niul formally moved that
the peace bond cases against Fitzsimmons
aud Julian be dismissed. He said that
the defendants had pledged themselves to
olisecve the laws against prize fighting
and would leave the State as soon as pos
sible. He a-ked leave, however, to rein
state the proceedings In case llic defendants
violated their pledge.
WARNING TO LAWBREAKERS.
Judge Martin, In graullng the motion, de
clared that he was in nun ae-eord with
the attorney general. The State authori
ties had acted admirably in enforcing the
laws aud the present proceedings were a
warning to evil-disposed persons that the
whole authority of the commonwealth
would be exercised against tlns whosotight
to treat its laws with contempt.
Mr. Hemingway then proceeded to Chan
cellor Martin's court-room. The chance!'
lor was evidently In no amicable mood over
iropplng or the Corbett-Urady prosecution,
and contented himself by declaring that
if the attorney general chose to di-tniss
the cases ho must do so absolutely aud
without power to reinstate.
"I will not share with the attorney gen
eral the responsibility of tills proceeding,"
be di-clarcd. "He must a-sume it alone."
Then turning lo Corbett and Brady, he
shook his finger at them and said: "You
must understand that th-: dismissal ofthese
peace warrants doea not release you from
the penalties of violating the injunction
-whkh Issued yesterday. It this injunc
tion is violated in the State of Arkansas
vou will certainly be brought back here.
There is no t-onslitutional or statutory
limit for tho punishment of a violation of a
court process.
TWO YEARS IN JAIL.
"Tho violation of this injunction means
Imprisonment In tho Pulaski County Jail,
at the discretion of this court, and I will
assure you that the terra will not be less
than two years. If the majesty of the laws
of this Stato cannot bo maintained the
State ought to be dissolved."
This.lecture did not fail to impress Cor
bett, who remarked that he had no nmbi
tion to encounter the chancellor in a
contest where he had the reforce against
iiim and no chance under rtiles.
There Is a remote possibility of a meet
log at la Taso, November 19, for the $20,
000 curse offered by Dan Stuart and a
probability, amounting to almost a cer
tainty, of no fight nt all. In the latter
case ntzslmmons will take his show on a
tour through Texas, leaving here next
Tuesday. After that he will return to
New York. Julian says the El Taso offer
suits him, but It is not believed Brady
will accept for Corbett.
Jim Kennedy, who wag here to-night on
his way to New York, says that the Empire
-. A ihlpt fe nlnh. of Masnctb. L.Ir. has secured
tho MaherO Donnelf fight for November

Baltimore, Nov. 2. A mass meeting at
Music Hall lo-nlght was the conduiling
feature so far as Hie hustings are con
cerned, of the most remarkable e-ainpaign
In Maryland's history.
It lias been remarkable tn many ways,
but chiefly In the number or leading citi
zens or the State, long identified with the
Democratic party, and who sUll claim to
be Democrats, who arrayed themselves
acaln't the Democratic nominees.
In ract. the fight throughout lias been
between Democrats and Democrats lie
tvveen the followers of Senator Gorman
aud those who would rather see the entire
Democratic ticket defoated than that Gor
man's Slate candidates lie successrul.
There has been no waving or the "bloody
shirt" nqr war erics by the old Repub
lican "war hor-es." Even the important
State issue-'re-assessment has been ig
nored, whilst "Gorman" and "liosslsm"
have been- the topics of discussion.
For the first time In several years Sen
ator Gorman has felt it necessary lo take
the stump in derence of ihe attacks made
upon him. He has delivered a number of
speeches in various localities of the State,
aud has been aided by the efforts or sev
eral other distinguished orators from
olher States.
- The Senator has, however, rxsia handi
capped by the ojipearance on the hustings
of many of Ids former friends and-sup
porters, "who hare bitterly denounced him:
While the Senator's friends have not
given up hope, Ihey do not disguise the
ract that the outlook i exceedingly du
bious. 'I dc Republican leaders predict a polit
ical revolution by claiming the Male ticket
and a majority of Hie legislature.

Stunned as by a Blow When Ha.
Heard the Verdict.
JURY TOOK ONLY ONE BALLOT
Though They Were Out Three Hours
They Coold llavo Hetarned In Fif
teen Minutes Motion Made for a
New Trluf When Judge Set a Duy
for Jlciirlii-r. It Holmes Jlrlghtencd.
Philadelphia, Nov. 2. Herman w. Mud
celt, or as lie is belter known, H. H.
Holmes, was tonight convicted of mur
der in the first degree for killing Ik-njamla
F. Pltczcl tn this city on September 2.
1801.
The Jury needed but one liallot to reach
this decision. The Jury retired at 0:10
at the conclusion of Judge Arnold's charge.
Arter the retirement of the Jury from the
courtroom the spectators streamed out
into the corridors and cageny discussed
what the .verdict would probably be.
There was considerable difference or opin
ion, as many believed Hie commonwealth
had not throughly established its case
against Holmes, but the majority were In
clined to believe that the Jury would con
vict him.
At b 35 word was sent to Judge Arnold
that the Jury was ready to return the
verdict. When Judge Arnold entered the
room there were nut nearly as many peo
ple present as had attended the day session.
HOLMES WAS STUNNED.
The prisoner was brought in and placed
in the dock. He was as impassive as ever
as he took his srnit. The jury came in and"
took their plae-es, and it nced.d but little
skill as a mlpd render to know what the
word would be that the run man would
pronounce.
The court onlend Holmes to arise and
then in reply to the question or the court,
the foreman of the Jurv- pronounced the
fatal words "guilty of murdtr In the first
degree. The verdict was greeted with
absolute silence.
The charge or the Judge must have fore
sliadowed what his rate would be, but
the word "guilty" rcll upon Holmes with
stunning force. He nude no. outcry or
e-xhlblted any emotion or any kind the
blow was too stunning for noisy outbreaks.
He sat down, and while the jury was
polled, each man answered to his name
a nd as each pronounced hi-sntenc. Holmes
stared vacantly before hiui. Ills lace wa
that of a e-oip-e- It was as absolutely
cxpressionles.-, as a mask, onlv a nervous
twitching or the eyelids and the contraction
nnd dilation or tlie eyes showed that there
was a living, breathing man that sat in tho
dock.
As the errcts of the blow began to die
away Holmes slowly reeovensi. He real
ized that his counsel was making a motioa
for a new trial.
A RAY OF HOPE.
His uuder lip ft II and he ran his
tongue across it, moistening the dryness,
and clasping hi- hands together he leaned
forward to listen to the judge's decision.
When Judge Arnold said lliat he would
hear the application for a new trial on
Monday, November 18, an expression ot
somethin-r like hope broke across his dull
'face. "Turninc fo Uie.fourt officers he saM
In nn eager whisper, "Monday. Nov. 18?"
These were Ihe only words he uttered.
Juilge Arnold then expressed to Mr Rotan
and Mr. Shoemaker his appreciation of how
difriculttbcir task had been and he compli
mented them that they had been able to
make as good a show or ihe defense as
they did. He intimated that their with
drawal from the case was a device of the
prisoner.
In a manly, honest way. Mr. Rotan gave
the court to understand that their with
drawal was no device or their own, but
was done rrom a sincere convicUon, be
cause they believed they had cot been
given lime to prepare their case. Judge
Arnold then ordered the prisoner removed.
CLOSE OF A FAMOUS TRIAL.
By this UmcHolmes had recovered much of
his composure and be walked from the
room with the quick. sprlghUy step that
is natural to hlro- The judge thanked the
Jury for their attention, anil discharged
them, and so ended the trial or the most
notorious and Infamous murderer that has
ever been convicted In the courts of Phila
delphia and probably In the United States.
If ever the value of a good name would
have been a shield and buckler to a man
in his hour of peril, that man is Holmes.
If ever a man's black deeds rose up to
confront ami convict him, that man is
HoIme. If Holmes had only lieeu In the
dock for the murder of Pitezcl it is an
open question if the prosecution would
not have failed or conviction, but un
questionably ids bloody record served to
condemn him.
The Jury was never In doubt. 'When thev
retlred from the court room they took
their suppers aud then a brief discussion
took place. One ballot vvas taken and
every man voted to convict. They con
sumed three hours for their retirement
froirMhe conrt room, but they could have
ionnd" a verdict in rifteeu minutes if they
had so wished to do so

There was but one dissenting voice and
that was Mr. Clarence A. Brandenburg,

Air. Walter T. Wright undertook tn an
