VOL. 37.—N0. 108 IN THE MERRY ISLE. A Long Session of the Brit ish Cabinet. The Speech Prom the Throne Was Hard to Shape. Mo Allusion In It to the Dissolution of Parliament. Gladstone Will Force the Inane—The Queen's Rheumatics—Matrimo nial Alliances—Airs. Osborne Prostrated. Associated Press Dispatches. London, Feb. 5. —The cabinet sat for nearly three hours yesterday, shaping the speech from the throne, with which parliament will be opened Tuesday. The unusual length of time spent is at tributed to the difference of opinion as to whether any reference should be made to the coming session as bringing the present parliament toward the close of its career. It was finally determined that nothing should be said on that subject. The speech opens with a reference to the sympathy oi the nation for the royal family over its recent bereavement; al ludes to the death of the khedive as not severing British relations with Egypt; refers to the continued prosperity of the country, and says there is no reason why England should be ultimately affected by foreign tariff legislation, and congratulates the country upon the prospect of an early settlement of tbe Bering sea dispute and the pacific as pect of foreign affairß generally; mentions the Irish local govern ment and educational bills as adding completeness to the series of measures for securing order in, and the welfare of Ireland. Other measures announced are a small holdings bill, district coun cils bill, and bills to reform the India council and Scottish private legislation. This last measure has an importance beyond its application to Scotland, as affirming and extending the principle of local government. The archbishop of Canterbury has a clergy discipline bill which the govern ment will support. Thin constitutes the business of the session. The leaders of the opposition do not intend to make any amendment to the address. Gladstone will not appear in the house the first week of the session. He has delegated to -Harcourt the task of questioning the government as to its intentions in regard to the dissolution of parliament. If the reply is indefin ite, Gladstone will make the question the subject of a great party fight. The prospect of the extinction of the Dissidents in tbe coming elections is in creasing. Yesterday's report, which was accepted as probable, gave to Sex ton the right of succession to the chair manship of the Irish party. There is not, however, anything like unanimity as to who should follow McCarthy. The queen is suffering from a more acute form of rheumatism than usual, especially in the knees. The court re port says she is subject to long spells of depression, varied by attacks of irrita bility. Her physicians deny that there is any cause for alarm. Ex-Empress Frederick will come to Windsor Castle in the Spring with Princess Margaret, when it is expected the latter's marriage with Prince George will be settled, although public announcement of the betrothal is post poned. Emperor William looks with favor on the match. Princess Margaret has the reputation at court of being the most English of the ex-empress's daughters. Viscount Chelsea, son of Earl Cad ogun, who for some time had been a suitor for the hand of Princess Maud of Wales, has become engaged to Mildred, daughter of Lord Arlington. The mar riage will unite the families of two of the greatest ground landlords in Loudon, whose wealth ia enormous. The prince of Wales favored the viscount's suit, but Maud did not. The deacons of the tabernacle who have in their power the choice of a suc cessor to the late Mr. Spurgeon, are in clined to select Charles Spurgeon. The choice liea between him and Archibald Brown of Shoreditch. MRS. 09BORNR ARRAIGNED, The Charge of Theft Dismissed and That of Perjury Substituted. London, Feb. 5. —Mra. Osborne, who surrendered heraelf to the police yester day to answer a charge in connection with the theft of jewelry belonging to Mra. Hargreavcs, waa formally arraigned before Lord Mayor Evana thia morning. The lord mayor held court in the old council chamber iv the Guildhall. The court room can accomodate only two hundred persona, and tbe crowd anxious to listen to the proceedings was ao large that it waa found necessary to detail an extra force of police to keep order among the people. Mrs. Oaborne appeared in court heav ily veiled and accompanied by her hus band. She seemed utterly broken down and in every way she appeared to ap preciate her painful position. A representative of the treasury ap peared and stated that he had no evi dence against the prisoner, whereupon Mrs. Oaborne was discharged. • Mrs. Osborne waa immedidtely re arrested on the charge of perjury for testifying in the libel suit brought by her against Mre. Hargreaves. She waa taken to the police court, where after examination, she was remanded to jail for a week. Mre. Oaborne ia terribly prostrated, requiring constant medical attention. The etrain ot her position has told most on her since her arrest. To plea of mental infirmity put forth in her de fense ig likely to lessen her sentence under two yeara, in view of her perjury and blackening the reputation of inti mate friends. 9AII.ISBUKY ROASTED. Harcourt Denounce* the Premier's .Allu sions to tbe Catholic Faith. London, Feb. 4.—Sir William Vernon Harcourt spoke today at Southampton. In the course of his address he took oc LOS ANGELES HERALD. casion to denounce in vehement terms what he termed "Lord Salisbury's un just references to the Catholic Irish," in hia speech at Exter on Tueßday last. He pronounced the premier's remarks disgraceful and worthy of a drunken grangeman, adding that "such an ap peal to tbe wicked passion of national hatred" was "not only shameful but mischievous on the part of a statesman in Lord Salisbury's position." Sir Wil liam declared that if the premier in dulged in such remarks with regard to Canada or Australia, those dependen cies of the empire would not remain twenty-four hours in allegiance to the queen, unless the British claims were supported by cannon and bayonets. Reform In the German Army. Berlin, Feb. 5. —The order issued by Prince George of Saxony as inspector general of the German army and com mander of the Twelfth army corps, call ing upon the officers of that corps to stop the inhuman treatment practiced upon privates by non-commissioned offi cers, is very likely to result in the amelioration of the condition of the privates of the whole army, and to free them from the brutal tyranny of low grade officers. The matter was discusped today by tho budget committee of the reichstag, and it was resolved to favor greater publicity in the proceedings of military tribunals and the punishment ordered by those courts. t Professional Poisoners. Buda-Pesth, Feb. 5. —A judicial in quiry recently held at Nensatz, Hun gary, resulted in the indictment of three old women for the murder of ten peas ants. It is charged that the crimes were instigated by the wives of the vic tims. The inquiry alao revealed the ex istence of a class of professional poison ers, living in the villages of Southern Hungary. BULLETS AND BALLOTS. CREOLE DEMOCRATS BENT ON HAVING- A FAIR COUNT. The McEnery Campaign Committee Re ceives a Consignment of Rifles and Ammunition to Be Used in Case the Opposition Attempts Bulldozing. New Orleans, Feb. 5. —The steamer El Paeo arrived yesterday from New York. Her cargo included forty cases of Winchester rifles and thirteen boxes of cartridges, addiessed to "A. W. Crandall, chairman Democratic cam paign committee, New Orleans." In an interview concerning these arms, Colonel Crandall says: "Yea, it ia a fact that these arms come to New Orleans ad dressed to me as chairman of the Demo cratic executive committee. There haa been no attempt made to conceal their shipment, and no effort to disguise why the arms have been secured. We are providing ourselves with them simply to protect ouiaelvea against any scheme, armed or otherwise, to deny ua a free ballot and a fair count in the coming election. Since the nomi nating convention at Baton Rouge, we have been met on all aidea with state ments from the friends and supporters of Foster that it was war to the knife and the knife to the hilt, and that the machinery in the hands of the existing state administration was to be used in counting in the Foster ticket and count ing out the McEnery ticket. Believing the election machinery under the con trol of the present administration would be employed in frustrating, if necessary, the free expreßaion of the public will, we determined, on the principle that an ounce of preven tion is worth a pound of cure, to take auch means as would protect us from illegal and unwarranted interference with our rights under the law. There will be another consignment of arms shortly. There is no intention on the part of the regular Democrats to precip itate trouble—no desire to provoke the shedding of blood. All we ask is the privilege of every voter to vote as he chooses in the election, and the assur ance that his vote will be counted as cast. We never intend to bulldoze or bluff, but are firm in the determination not to be bulldozed or bluffed." TARIFF REFORM WAR. Mills Declares His Intention to Oppose the Springer Policy. Nkw Yobk, Feb. 5. —A dinner was given tonight at the Reform club to Roger Q. Mills by President E. Ellery Anderson and Thomas G. Sherman. Ex-Secretary Fairchild and other well known Cleveland Democrats were pres ent. Mills for the first time indicated in a public speech the line of action to be followed by himself and friends in the present congress regarding the tariff. He declared his intention to oppose the halfway and standstill measures some of the Democratic leaders advocated. He scouted the idea of going back to the tariff of '83 and accepting that as a final settlement. He said the Democrats had been fighting that tariff for thirty years, and he was for carrying on the war —an eternal, uncompromising war. At the close of his speech Mills said: "I will follow wherever the flag points to fair trade; I will follow wherever the flag goes, no matter who carries it, and I will follow wherever the battle is pitched." A Muval Investigation. Vallejo, Cal., Feb. 5. —The secretary of the navy has directed a minute in vestigation of the charges made by Joseph A. Watson, jr., of this town, and a late employee of the Mare Island navy yard, against Charles J. Phelps of San Francisco, master shipsmith of the navy yard. This investigation will be made by Capt.

In answer he brought suit for divorce, alleging cruelty and insanity prior to marriage. The decision leaves them in the same position legally as before the suit. A FAIR OAPTIVK.

To a re porter he said: "Garza'a organization is ao complete that he can concentrate hiß strength at very abort notice, and that strength is more than is known.

CHILE CORRESPONDENCE JUDGE OF CRIMES FOSTER SAYS HE DID HIS DUTY. He Sentenced the Rioters to the Full Ex tent of the Law—Friendly Intercourse with the United States Greatly De sired—Egan's House Still Guarded. BNew York, Feb. s.—The Herald's Valparaiso correspondent says: Judge of Crimea Foeter assured me today that his entire review of the Baltimore case occupied ten days. "T have rendered sentence upon Arena, Ahumada and Rodriguez," he said, 1 In strict accord ance with the Chilean law. The only regret I feel ia that there was no direct evidence showing the immediate cause of Riggin's death. I did the utmost in my power to fix the responsibility for hia killing on some one."" The court of appeals, which will re view the action of Judge Foster, will re convene next month. On all sides there are renewed expres sions of hope that there will be a speedy resumption of friendly intercourse be tween Chile and the United Statea. Since the loss of the steamer John Elder there has been a great deal of talk among tbe residents of this city against the Pacific Steam Navigation company. Many people here, in view of the ap proach of the world's fair, desire to ace a line of American steamships between Valparaiso and Panama, or direct to San Francißco. Some are even in favor of traffic with New York by way of Argen tine and Uruguay ports. There aeema to be no doubt that the opening of an American line along the Chilean coast, in conjunction with the Chilean Bteam sbip company, would prove a paying investment. London, Feb. s.—The correspondent of the Times at Valparaiso says the po lice guard at the house of Egan, United States minister at Santiago, is main tained by the Chilean authorities, with the view to prevent auy attack at the instance of the rough element. This fact, the correspondent says,, threatens to bring about a reopening of the difficulty with the United States. The correspondent further says the police judge at Valparaiso has increased the severity of the sentences imposed upon the assailants of the sailors of the United States steamer Baltimore. This course wae demanded by the procurator fiscal. 6CSLBY AND TUB BALTIMORE. The Captain Would Like to Be Sent to the Chinese Station. Washington, Feb. s.—Captain Schley, it is said, has asked Secretary Tracy to allow him to remain in command of the cruiser Baltimore, and has intimated that he would like to go to the China station with her. His wishes will prob ably be gratified, as there is need for more ships on that Btation, where they may be wanted at any moment, on account of the anti-missionary riots, liable to break out. It is understood one or two more vessels besides the Baltimore will be sent to China, soon, and probably the Yorktown and Ben nington will be selected for this duty, as most of tho trouble there is in river towns, where vessels of the Baltimore's size cannot go, and where smaller vessels have to be depended on. NOT GOING TO ASIA. Later —Captain Schley will leave Washington tomorrow for San Fran cisco, to resume command of the Balti more, which vessel will continue on the Pacific station for some time to come. There is no truth in the report that she will go to the Asiatic station. HEADING OFF COLLIEBS. The navy department just now is try ing to head off several colliers Btarted out from New York, during the recent Chilean war preparations, for the Pacific. There were four ships in all, carrying a total of 18,000 tons of coal. One of them has been intercepted at Montevideo and ordered to discbarge her cargo there and return to the United States. The sec ond one is expected at the same port in a few days, and efforts are being made to learn the whereabouts of the other two, so as to reduce the expense of transport as much as possible.
