LATaS? EOIN A DOUBLE DISCHARGE. THE GERMAN GOVERNMENT TO RELEASE SCHNAEBELLE TO-DAY, The Unfortunate Commissary to Be Dis- charged by the French Government— Parnell in Ireland—Gladstone’s Speech at the Labor Members’ Dinner—The Times’ Vituperation of the Irish—Blood Indians on the Warpath—Doings in the Seeninion —Foreign News. Paris, April 29.—It is expected that N. Schnaebelie will be placed on the retired list when released by the Germans. SCHNAEBELLE’S RELEASE UNCONDITIONAL. A dispatch from Berlin says that Emperor William will to-day sign the release of M. Schusebelle. The release is without condi- tions. The Emperor’s signature is necessary because of the international character of the incident. A DOUBLE DISCHARGE FOR SOHNAEBELLE. BERLIN, April 29.—Prince Bismarck has in- formed M. Herbette, tne French Ambassador, that he will to-day submit for the Emperor’s signature an order for the release of M. Schnaebelle. It is understood that in the eventof his liberation by the Germans, the French Government will discharge M. Schnae- belie from the office of Special Commissary at Pagny-sur- Moselle. RUMORS OF MARTIAL LAW. The National Gazette mentions the existence of arumor that Germany will soon declare martial law in Alsace-Lorraine. 43 THE BOURSE. Paris, April 29, 3 p. m.—Three-per-cent rentes opened at 80 francs 2742 centimes, a de- cline of 244 centimes from last evening’s clos- ing price, but have advanced to 80 francs 55 centimes on rumors that Schnaebelle has been released by the German Government, ———, — GLADSTONE’S DEFENSE OF PARNELL. The Times’ Vituperation of the Irish—Dilke’s Fitth Article. Special Cablegram tothe Post-Dispatch. LONDON, April 29.—Last night’s debate was of moderate interest, as the Government ma- jority of 101 has become stereotyped. An in- teresting incident wasin the preceding divis- ion on behalf of the Belfast main drainage bill. The Liberal party voted all together för the first time since the split, and the Government was consequently defeat- ed. This was hailed in the lobbies asa good omen. The report of Gladstone’s remarks at the private dinner of the 2 members is accurate though exaggerated form. What Gladstone really said was that after the Phenix Park murders Parnell expressed to him his willlngness to retire from public life if he, Gladstone, thought it would be for the best in- terests of Ireland that he should do so. The popular view of Parnell’s recent visit to Ireland regards him as delving among the Bosces unearthing documents with the dust of years upon them, and weighed down himself with indignation and a passionate desire to be avenged ON HIS MALIGNANT ADVERSARIES. Nothing could be further from the truth. He has simply been fishing. A reporter was sent to him from the Freeman’s Journal in hot haste to consult him onan important matter. He was not at home, and nobody knew where he was. At last the reporter got aclue and discovered him returning from his placid pastime, with a rod over his shoujder and a well-filled creelon his back, utterly heediess of the fact that all England was ringing with cries and counter cries in bis name. His ene- mies would, of course, point to this as evi- dence that he is a complete hypocrite, but his friends know that he is only a complete an- gler. Asa consolation for the vituperation of all things Irish, and Parnell particularly, a poem addressed to O'Connell has been dug out of the Times of November, 1835, and is be- ing paraded in the streets of Dublin. It is as follows: Siime condensed of Irish bog, Ruffian, coward, demagogue! Boundless Har. base detractor! Nurse of murder, treason’s factor! Spout thy filth. diffusethy slime; Slander is in thee no crime. Safe from challenge, safe from law, What can curb thy callous jaw? Who would sire a convict Har? On a poltroon who would fire? Buckle, the editor of the Times, and Batten, the Dublin correspondent, would have dif- culty in beating this. DILKE’S ARTICLE. Dilke’s fifth article in the forthcoming Fort- nightly Review will present the position of European politics on Italy. It is a long, learned paper, concluding with the following summary: ‘‘As Great Britian has her enor- mous responsibilities and her present un- readiness to meet them;as Russia has Nihil- ism and corruption; as Austria has Socialism and race difficulties ; as Germany has her weak military position between five first-class mili- tary powers, and as France has her traditions of financial wastefulness and want of states- men, 80 Italy, too, has her difficulties. Of these difficulties the backwardness of Sicily and the southern provinces generally, is per- haps the greatest. Bat I think, on thé whole, that Italy has fewer dan- gers to face than any other of the great powers. I am convineed that she is making more rapid progress than any of them, with the exception, of course, of Russia, which has the advantage of being, territorial- ly considered, almost second to the United States. Vast advance has been made of late in education and manufaetures, and by the suppression of brigandage. While a great deal remains to be done, more has been done in Italy in the last sixteen years than is gener- ally acknowledged or believed. Engiand. | 7 WORSE THAN THE TORIES. Lorpon, April 29.—The Standard says the Liberal- Unionists are in favor of making the crimes act a permanent measure. THE DIVISION ON REID'S MOTION.

QUEENSTOWN, April 29.—Mr. White, the agent of the Irish Woolen Manufacturing & Export- ing Company, recently organized by Mr. Par- nell, Mr. Davitt and other National Leaguers for the promotion of Irish industry, sailed yesterday for New York. SHIPWRIGHTS’ STRIKE. The shipwrights of Belfast have struck for weekly, instead of fortnightly payments. REFUSED THE WRIT. DvuBLIN, April 29.—In the Exchequer Court to-day, anurse named Dillon applied for the issne of a writ beyond the court’s jurisdic- tion, against Mr. Balfour, Chief Secretary for Ireland, for slender, in having, as complain- ant alleges, stated against her professionally that she had refused to nurse the wife of a man employed by a person under boycott. The court refused to grant the writ. p Kussia. THE NEW GOVERNMENT LOAN. Sr. PETERSBURG, April 29.—Subscriptions for the new Government loan have reached the sum of two milliards of roubles, of which sum 5 per cent will be allotted. DISARMED BY GERMANS. PaRIs, April 29.—The Soleil says that some Germans disarmed a Russian sentinel, who tried to preventa German from crossing the Silesian frontier. The Dominion. INDIANS ON THE WARPATH. MONTREAL, April 29.—Reports from Medicine Hat say that the Blood Indians are becoming bold, and are firing upon scouting parties of mounted police. A strong detachment has been sentin pursuit. The Indians are killing right and left. REORGANIZING THE GOVERNMENT. OTTawa, Ontario, April 29.—The Canadian Government’s proposal to appoint a Solicitor General is part of a general reorganization of the departments now in contemplation, which will inauguzate the British system of members of the Government as distinct from members of the Cabinet, the former partaking more of the character of Under Secretaries. There will be a Comptroller of the Customs and a Comptrolier of Inland Revenue, having seats in the Parliament and replacingin the same the present ministers and two new cabinet officers, of whom the Minister of Trade and Commerce will be one. The duties of the Finance Minister will be lightened by the transfer of that regulation of the tariff to the Customs and Trade and Commerce Departments. This enlargement of the offices and distribution of labor ig said to be rendered necessary by the pressure of work upon the Department of Justice and the new duties to be undertaken by the Government in relation to labor questions, the extension of foreign trade, ete. Should these new measures be adopted the Government will consist of fif- teen members, of whom thirteen will be mem- bers of the Cabinet. RETALIATION. Mr. Foster, Minister of Fisheries, said yes- terday: The Government has no informa- tion tending to confirm the statements in a New York newspaper to the effect that the American Government proposed declaring non-intercourse prior to the appointment of a joint commission to adjust the matters in dis- pute. I do not believe the story, which is liable to prove as false as stories in the same connection telegraphed from Ottawa. It is certain at any rate that Canada’s rights will be properly looked after. The position of the Federal government in the past is a guarantee of its present attitude on the question.’’ Charles Clark’s Team Runs Away. At 12:35 this afternoon Charles Clark’s Gran- ite Mountain carriage team became unman.- ageable at Twenty-third and Pine streets and ranaway. They dashed down Pine street, and at Nineteenth street collided with a one-horse delivery wagon owned by Herman Stoffregen the r of No. 1272 South roadway. he wagon was upset and Robert Fe the 22 was thrown out witha lot of empty egg-cases.

Katt Orders Out the Militia—Jennie Bowman Dying— A Baise Alarm Causes Thousands of Citizens to Turn Out at Noon To-day. LOUISVILLE, Ky., April 29.—Everything is quiet about the jail this morning, though the talk over the town isthat another and a more determined effort will be made to lynch the negroes to-night. Rumors that Miss Jennie Bowman had died of her injuries in circula- tion yesterday afternoon tended to revive the excitement over the outrage. Toward evening crowds began to collect onthe streets in the vicinity of the jail, and ‘as night came on they increase until lo o’ clock several thousand men and boys were in the neighborhoed. There was considerable disorder and numer- ous arrests were made. Later another crowd assembled, probably five hundred strong. The line of March wasdown Jefferson street, and they came steadily and silently until near the corner of Sixth and Jefferson streets, when they were met by a line of about one hundred police, who had rushed eut of the hall where they were bivouacked. As soon as the police appeared in front, the crowd began shouting and jeering and came on in a determined man- ner that seemed likely to force the police aside. The latter, however, stood firm, and for atime there was a peli-mei, hand-to-hand fight, which resulted in several broken heads and prominent arrests. LEADERS ARRESTED. The leaders were soon taken and rushed off to the station-house. The crowd, as soon as the leaders were taken, began to give way and took to their heels. In a moment they were in full flight, and the police, after pursuing them a short distance, returned and formed ‘a line across the street, where they remained on guard. Among those who were arrested and taken to the station house, were John Letterle and Allan McDon- ald. Ide former was a member of the last Kentucky Legislature, and the latter is a leader in an association organized to promote purity in the city government. McDonald was also a leading light in the Law and Order Olub, now defunct. JENNIE BOWMAN DYING. This morning Jennie Bowman is still sink- ing. She is worse than at any time yet, and may die at any moment. The feeling is that her death will precipitate trpubie. THE MILITIA ORDERED OUT. The answer of the Governor to the follow- ing call for aid from the militia has just been received at 11:15 a. m., and several companies have been ordered to guard the jail. Gov. J. Proctor Knott: From representations made to me by the Chief of Police and jailor, there is imminent danger of domestic violence and dl shed, growing out of the assault on Jennie Bowman, unless you callout the militia reserve here. Iconcarinthe opinion, and place the facts before you for 3875 3 ya crisis may be reached to- 9 . L. JACKSON, 2 Jetterson Circuit Court. Louisville, april A FALSE — At 12:30 o clock p. m., eleven taps were given on the fire-belis, being the signal for the members of the Legion (the military) to reports for duty at the Armory. The sigaal, however, was misunderstood by the people, and everybody hurried towards the jail. The report spread rapidly that a mob was attacking the jail, and nearly 3,000 people assembled in the square. As soon as the mis- take was discovered the police and militia had no tréubie in dispersing the mob. No more trouble is feared at present. MATTERS IN COURT.
