A London cable says 2 The apathy that has long prevailed regarding Emin Puchu is quickly changing into an earnest desire to send him help before it is too late. In 1878 Dr. Emin Boy was sent by Gen. Gordon to the Equatorial Province of Africa as Gov. ernor. When he took the post there was on annual deficit of £30,000 ', in 1881 he sent down £8,000 surplus revenue. Tn 1882 he was in Khartoum and offered to the authorities to try and make peace with the Mahdi. They refused his help, and told him to go back to his Province, develop it and protect- its frontiers. From that day to this he never had news or orders from the Egyptian Government nor supplirs. The last letters received irom him at that time were dated March, 1883. From that day till a. few weeks ago no news was heard, though there were many rumors that he was dead. Then there came it letter from him dated December, 1885. and another, thelat» est received, dated July, 1886, from \Vande- lai. The last orrix'ed three Weeks ago, after an extraordinarily l‘flpid journey of four and ahqu months. These letters were published, and the AntLSlztvery Society of London im- mediately petitioned the British Govern- ment to send an expedition for his relief. This was followed by it petition from the council of the Scottish Geographical Society asking the Government to send a pacific re- lief cxpedition. About the some time Sta-n- ley wrote to some friends in this country, offering to lead it Government expedition for the relief of 15min. Ilis services were offered gratuitously, and he also said that should another leader be chosen he would give £500 to theexpedition. v The British (lonernment considered the different memorials and were forced to take action by events at (Jairo. Unknown to them, Dr. Seliweinfnrtli, the African traveller and a friend of Emin, brought great pressure to bear upon the Egyptian Government. They raised Emin Bey to the rank of l’acha, so that he is now Emin Paella, thus recognizing his position and their responsibility. They also voted £10,000 to any expedition for his relief. Their action altered the matter eonsidel‘a» bly. The British Government had conâ€" sidered that 15min had been recalled and was holding out against orders. This, however, is not the fact, for, on the testi» mony of English missionaries at Uganda, the letters of recall sent, via. Zanzibar. to Emin, were Opened by King Mwanga and destroyed. GEN. GORDON’$ LIEUTENANT. The British Government than accepted the offer of certain private individuals to equip a relief expedition with Stanley as the leader, the J‘Igyptian grant to be given to that expedition. \Vlmtevcr expedition goes should carry relief at the earliest possible moment. Already the Government delay, and nothing is to be done till Junker arrives in London. He has been in Zanzibar a fortnight, and could have been telegraphed to. He leaves Zanzibar today and will be hora in three weeks, a loss of five precious weeks. Very probably this will be the Gordon history over flguinir‘WOO late.” Another Expedition Talked of to torial Africa. Emin Bey, it is said, had ammunition enough to last him to the end of the year, provided he is not attacked. If he falls the result will be to hand over to the slave dealers a population of six millions, Emin Paulie having retained a province which is nearly as large as Europe intact from slavery. Both domestic slavery and slave dealing have been entirely abolished there since 1880, while the people have been taught the arts of weaving and cultivation, and roads have been made. The people themselves have most valiantly defended their liberty and prosperity against outside aggression. but it mav be too late He Discourses on His Illness, the Politi- cal Crisis and the Plan of Campaign. ALondon cable says : A reporter called on Mr. Parnell at the Euston Square Hotel this evening. He presented his card and was promptly admitted to Mr. Parnell’s apartments. Mr. Parnell looks much paler and thinner than at the end of the last sion, but he is evidently making good pro- gress. He said that his physician believed that he will be stronger than for many years. Mr. Parnell explained that he had not yet granted personal interviews on political subjects, as the fatigue and excite- ment would be too much for him, but he was willing to make an exception when in- formation was sought for the American public. He said that his illnch became ac- cute about thcend of October, but for several months previously he had been losing flesh, appetite and strength, until in the autumn session he felt almost entirely unable to do any work. Continuing, he said: “ After my malady had become fully developed, I was unable to read or write anything or attend to any kind of business for several weeks, and it is only within the last three weeks that I have permitted myself even to think of political affairs, while even now the excitement and fatigue of the last few days have distinctly thrown me back and made me feel worse.” Mr. Parnell then turned to the political situation. He remarked that the Government, now that Lord Randolph Churchill had resigned, would have something else to think of than coercing Ireland. It would have to struggle for existence. The Government, be con» tinned, would have been unlikely to apply coercive powers in any case, because the marked absence of crime,the general modera- tion with which the campaign had been con- ducted, and the fact that the object of the Government and of the campaign promot- ers was the same, namely, that of obtaining a fair rent abatement from unyielding landlords, had taken away many of the usual excuses for coercion. Regarding the legality of the campaign, Mr. Parnell said, he was unwilling to take the law from ‘ either Justice O’Brien orJusticc Johnston, both of whom were strong political partisans, who had received their offices in reward for political services, and who were notoriously lawyers of mediocre ability. There was confusion in the judgment itself as Well as in the proclamation. “ In any case,” continued Mr. Parnell, “ if it should be finally and clearly decided by high legal opinion of recognized authority that the campaign is illegal, you must remember it will be only technically illegal, and only so because the same right of combination which the Legislature, after much agita- tion, legalized for British workmen under the name of Trades’ Inionism had not yet been extended to Irish tenant farmers.” A Montreal despatch says: Jeffords & i 00., importers of woollens and dry goods, have had [L surprise from Ernest Friend, an employee they once had. A few days ago the firm of McKcund. Turner (R' (70., of. \Vinnipeg, who held :1. claim against Friend, communicated with Messrs. Atwater & (10., of this city. The result was that the entire stock of Jeffods «h Co. was seized last night on the ground that Friend was the sole member of the firm. 1t being late. a guardian was not found, and the store was closed this morning. Messrs. (lreenshields, on behalf of Messrs. Jeffords «i’ C0,, made a. deposit of $500, and asked that the seizure be set aside, as Friend was not Connected with the firm. J udge Mathieu granted the application.

A London cable says: The Tinu’s says there is reason to bulieve that the Marquis of Salisbury is ready to serve under Lord Hurtington, and will offer him the leaderâ€" ship in the House or allow him to form a SL1" ‘tly Liberal Unionist Government. The Standard announces that Lord Ranâ€" dolph Churchill, in his letter of resignation to Lord Salisbury, gave as his sole reason for resigning his unwillingness to accept the naval and military estimates. “ \Vith the ‘jfi‘j‘ 9? ‘I .nyd Handrfl‘rfli Churchill,” n‘v« mony on 11. subject of the estimates, feelA ing‘ that while the whole Continent is trein~ bling with the apprehension of war, Eng)- thd’s first duty is to look to her defences. Lord Randolph Churchill was all for a popular, economic budget at any price; the country will know how to appreciate such services.” Lord Randolph’s resignation has produced the greatest sensation in Euroâ€" pean capitals, nT1/V1'1,!, l In cimsequenee of Lord Salisbui‘y’s request Lord Hartington will remain in Rome until Sunday to await letters frOm Lord Salisbury. Lord Hartington has not rec ived an invitation to enter the Cabinet. It IS improbable that an invitation would be sent by telegraph, as he has no cypher that would enable him to translate a Gov- ernment (lespatch. He will not come to a decision until he has received Lord Salis- bury‘s letters. Lord Hartington thinks that virtually therehas been no change in the situation since last autumn. He reserves his opinion as to the future. The opinion grows that Lord Hartington will not enter the Cabinet. It has been virtually decided to further prorogue Parliament until the second week in February. Lord Randolph Churchill alone insists upon an early meeting. A Cabinet Council has been sum- moned for next week. Lord Ran- dolph Churchill is irritated and astounded at the unanimity of the denunciations of his course by Ionservatives. The sup- porters of Lord Randolph declare that when he is able to tell the true reason of his resignation the disclosure will cause a sensation throughout the country and result in his triumphant vindication. They say it will be shown that he did not oppose the grants for the necessary defence of the Empire, but that he refused to sanction an increase of the estimates unless it was accompanied by a reformed administration of the War and Admiralty Departments. Lord Randolph discovered while in office, say his friends, that the Government had no control over the expenditure of hun- dreds of thousands of pounds whichwe yearly voted for the “Tar Office I" or material that has never been providedY and that similar abuses exist in the Admiralty. It is expected that Parliament will be prorogued until the 8rd of February, in order to allow of the formation of :1 new Ministry. .. . .-..' ,u 1 u-. 1110 New, referring to Mr. Chamberlain’s speech at Birmingham yesterday, says his conciliatory temper will be reciprocated, and that his speech will bear fruit. 1‘11 The Churchill’s resignation will do more for economic reform in one year than his ad» ministration would have been able to do in a. dozen years. 777 ~11 1"11 “no: says Lord Randolph Lord Hurtington, accompanied by Right Hon.

He will not reach London until January 10th. The d1v1510ns in the Cabinet that led to Lord Churchill‘s resignation embraced questions of wide interest. Lord Randolph’s disagreement with the chief spending dc- partments commenced with a proposal to reform the entire Civil Service, including an investigation of the votes asked in the coming financial year. Lord Hamilton and Right Hon. Mr. Smith, heads respectively of the Admiralty and \Var Offices, While willing to consider a general selieme for1 future departmental investigations, declined to discuss the estimates now under pre- paration, and were Supported by a majority of the Cabinet. On the County (1 overn- ment Board Bill Lord Churchill was de- feated by a majority of one. On the ques- tion of the withdrawal of the army from Egypt he waS supported by only four of his colleagues. 0n the proposed eloture rules and coercive measures in Ireland he failed to carry with him one-third of the Cabinet.

But 'uhe latter in the Iabinct soon began to pay back his young tormentm‘.

Lord Randolph is it istormer, agitator and economist. He is for letting conti- nental politics generally take care of them» selves. He especially mshed diminished taxation on the masses. Those oldBourbon colleagues were John Bulls, on whom Lord Churchill acted as a red mg. Several of them, at first, thought Lord Churchill would fail as leader of the House, Whereas he made a decided mark. The first friction in the Cabinet was Lord Churchill’s pro~ posal to adopt l’arliam ntary changesw sueh as the previous question and divi. sional legislation by working committees. They twitted Lord Churchill with his intimacy with Mr. Chamberlain, who was another red rag to Lord lddesleigh. Next, Lord Churchill believed in a real, local democratic, electoral clumty government, not in any half-way measures by letting the Home Government and What he called “the squii‘earchy” appoint some local officials. Soon the London city Tories were horrified to 500 Lord Churchill oppose their taxation of the 11st of London a. shilling,r per ton for coal, also Lords Iddosleigh and Manners, who pointed out that this tax was as old as the time of James II.

LADY COLIN CAMPBELL ON GENERAL BUTLER The conduct of Gen. Butler, in refusing to testify in the Campbell divorce case, is still EL fruitful topic of conversation. Gen. Butler is in France and his solicii-L Mr. George Lewis, made every effort to induce him to return, but without success. Lady Campbell wrote to him as follows : The President has been confined to his room since Friday with another attack of rheumatism in his knee, the result of over- cloing before he had completely recovered from his recent illness. He was better last night. the maintenance of peace is entirely de pendent upon the action of the Czar, and, 1.13 he drinks, delirium tremens may at any moment cause him to commit an act of folly which would precipitate a war. Austria must be ready for such a. contin- gency. The Pester Lloyd says the Czar’s fear of the Nihilists is excessive. He is suspicious of everybody with whom he comes in contact, including even his wife and children. “1)EAR GENERAL BUTLER,â€"Y0u will re- member that Mr. Lewis, in my presence and at his olfice, proposed for your own 0011- venience that you should be examined in regard to the ease now pending. You said it would be unnecessary as you intended to return to England and appear in person at the trial. This was so obviously desirable in the interest of your own character that nothing further could then have been urged upon you ; and it is, therefore, with profound amazement that I now learn you have changed this inâ€" tention. You must know that your failure to appear at the trial will inflict a. mons- trous injustice upon me and put me to cruel and unnecessary trouble in the vindi- cation of my. character from the unfounded inferefices drawn by mylene'mies. and yours from the single fact of your having called upon me in Lord Colin’s house. These in- fure‘neeé can be instantly dissipated by a. n‘llkfltl. 51 'a}::ln(t(n‘\m1'd and mwuy denial on your part, and this denlal l have the right, to expect from you Ins a. friend, a. gentleman end a soldier. Hoping soon to learn that you have resumed your original intention to appear in person, I remain, yours truly ~â€" ” The following curt reply was received: “ DEA]: LADY CAMPBELL,~I beg to ac- knowledge receipt of your letter of the 15th of November, and in reply I can only repeat that my resolution of not appearing in evidence at the forthcoming trial remains unchanged.” Dr. Henry Andrews, of Brooklyn, com- mitted suicide by shooting himself yester- day while in a fit of despondency. Ladyxomnpbell made a strong appeal to Lady Butler, who is the celebrated artist, and received the following:r answer : “ DEAR IJAJJY COLIN CAMPBELL,â€"'I beg to say I am fully aware of all the efforts you have made and have caused to be made to induce my husband to appear and give evi- dence on oath at your trial. Your appeal to me touched me deeply. I would I could help you, but I believe the case to have passed out of our hands and to have gone before a tribunal where hunmn {Lid is im- possible.#1 remain, sincerely yours, “ ELIZABETH BUTLER .” A Chance for lVIarried VVonlen. In 1872 an Act was passed which greatly extended the rights of property of married women. It placed under the control of a woman after marriage any real estate own- ed by her at the time of marriage or acquired afterward, and made her liable on any contract respecting real estate. It placed under a married woman’s own con- trol not merely all her personal earnings prior to marriage, but “all proceeds and profits from any trade or occupation which she carries on separately from her hus- band, or derived from her literary, artistic or scientific skill,” and freed her per- sonal property, even when in her husband’s possession, from liability for her husband’s debts. It authorized her to insure her own or her husband’s life for her benefit or that of her children, to become a shareholder in any financial company, to deposit money in bank and withdraw it by her own cheque, and to institute either civil or criminal pro- ceedings in courts of law for the protection of her property. And, lastly, it freed her husband from all liability for debts con- tracted by his wife before marriage, as well as for debts contracted after marriage “in respect of any employment or business in which she is engaged on her own behalf or in respect of any of her own contracts.” Rosetta Phelps, a young woman from Gainsboro’, aged 23, recently pleaded guilty before Judge Baxter to the charge of steal- ing a horse from David H. Sensabaugh, near Attercliffe, and was sentenced to six months in the Andrew Mercer Reforma- tory. She claims that a man named Beehan, with whom she had lived at one time, had forced her to go with him and steal the horse ; that he went with her to Port Colborne, and that she drove alone from that place to \Villoughby, where she sold the horse to Mr. Thomas Wells for $85, that she returned to Port Colborne and gave Buehan $60, keeping the balance. She says Buchan threatened to shoot her if she did not go with him to steal.
