O’Brien arrived at Thuries, County Tipperary, to-day. While on his way from the railway station tothe Episcopal Talace, the residence of Archbishop Croke, Je was recognized by a number of Parnellites, who followed him. They were joined by others until finally Mr. O’Brien was surrounded by a menacing crowd, who kept him company to the very gates of the palace. He was hooted and jeered, and all manner of epithets were hurled at him. Some of the mildest names of reproach addressed to him were *‘renegade’’ and ‘‘murderer.’’ HOME OF ALIENS. PLEA AGAINST UNDESIRABLE IMMIGRATION TO ENGLAND. Loxpox, Jan. 30.—The London papers have broken out in protest against the stream of undesirable immigration allowed to pour into and out of England without let or hind- rance. The Evening News to-day says that London continues to be more than ever the home of destitute aliens. Official returns show that last year 38,142 immigrants entered the city. Here most of them have stopped, adding to the worst part of the population of East End. All et- forts to Anglicize these people have failed. Filth, disease and crime, according to the News are unrestrained among them. ‘‘The prospect before us, it adds, is an influx of 40,000 of these foreigners yearly. How, the News asks, will Englishmen beable tw live unless this stream is dammed. The paper then predicts that there will bean explosion some time from the accumulation of this ob- jectionable element and the forces it is sure to generate against it. Thecitizens of Lon- don by their apathy, according tothe paper mentioned, are ‘‘earningthe anathemas of posterity.’’ This agitation in England has been going on for months past and is now taking a fresh spurt from the fact that the German govern- ment is known to be occupied in drawing up a bill regulating emigration. The main object of this measure ig to put a check upon the doings of steamship and other agents whose business it is to induce poor people to emigrate. In the future these agents will have to give certain guarantees and allow their books and entire business methods to be under the supervision of the authorities. Swiss legislation on the same sudjecet is to be taken as the pattern of similar German legislation. In Switzerland emigration agents are prohibited from forwarding per- sons who, on account of old age, illness or infirmity are unable two work unless it is proved that they will be amply provided for at their place of destination. In addition, persons under age, without the permission of thelr guardians, persons who would arrive abroad without means, those Habie to military service and parents who would leave uneducated children behind them are not allowed to emigrate. The prohibition already in force against the Ger- man steamship companies carrying German emigrants at the expense of foreign States or enterprises, willbe extended to agents also. Finally there will be created a special emi- gration Gepartment in the ministry of the in- terior. A peculiarly distressing incident showing the sad effects of thoughtless emigration where the emigrant is ignorant of the lan- guage or customs of the country was recently made public here. It seems that a poor woman arrived at Southampton a week or two ago by the Royal Man Steamer Thames, in a state of utter penni- lessness. ©n her return to the Argentine Republic it appears that the woman, Mrs. Emily Dickson, and her husband, with their boy, had emigrated tothe Argentine Repub- lic in the bope of finding remunerative work. But trouble had prededed them. Work was to be had, but not of the kind they had deen ied to expect. The financial troubles of the country have great- ly —— the value of the paper cur- reucy in which laboris paid. The woman in exchange for a dollar bill, which represented for shillings for work done, received a shil- ling and three half-pence in coin. She had with her a little lad who had lost bis sight in consequence of an attack of yellow fever. The poor mother, who seemed overcome with grief when they mentioned the matter, said that soon after her boy had lost his sight her busband was also attacked and was taken to the hospital. On ber arrival at south- — | nothing to do but sign the receipt for his an- ee — — = ampton she at once applied to the author!i- | ties. applied to the borough bench of Magistrates later for help. She stated that all she wanted was to go on to Dublin and then ber mother and father would take her in. The sight of the lad was a pathetic one as he clung to his mother’s skirts. The magistrates who directed that her pas- sage should be paid to London, and gave her a substantial sum to help her and the boy un- til they landed there. This is only one of the thousands of similar instances of deluded immigrants returnipg penniless to their homes and the newspapers are again clamoring for some measure which will prevent the landing in England of undesirable emigram@s and which will also provide protection and advice for emigrants who may contemplate seeking homes in foreign lands. KIPLING AND HIS BRIDE. HOW THEY SECURED SECLUSION—DR. SPURGEON Ans MAYBRICK—LOS DUN NOTES. Lordo, Jan. g0.—Rudyard Kipling spent his honeymoon in a very. Kiplinish fashion, after a secret wedding at Portiand place. it was said he took his bride to a quiet retreat in the country.

Every day Kipling took a cab to bis London lodging to get his mall. He usedto meet re- porters there nearly every time, who asked him if he knew where Kipling was and when he would return. Kipling said he would let Kipling know when he saw him that people were inquiring for him. He was very gar during the time he was at Brown's devoted to his wife. He acted like a boy off ror a holiday and rare- ly went to theaters or concerts for fear he would be known and his hiding place discov- ered.

His death seems im- minent. A large edition of Mrs. Humphe ry Ward's new novel was exhausted on the day of publication. A second edition has nearly gone and a third willbe ready early next week. The public interest aroused in the book is very great. All sorts of rumors are published as to the whereabouts of Mrs. Osborne. The fact is that ber retreat is well known at Scotland Yard,as is also Huribert’s, but arrest in either case is not expected unless the police is forced to action public opinion. The next ann dinner of the political economy circle at the National Liberal Club takes place on Feb. 24 jwhentbeRev, Wm. Moore Ede, Rector of Gateshead, will be the principal speaker. His subject. will be The Poor Law and State Pensions,’’ a question that is now engaging much attention. The marriage of Miss Jane Cobden and Mr. T. Fisher Urwin will take place on Tuesday next at the Parish Church at Heyshott, Sus- sex, the place where Richard Cobden was born, and near where his remains are buried. Mr. T. B. Potter, M. P., will give the bride away. The money raisedto pay the Lumleys Yor preparing for thle Maybrick trial has all been used, but the case is not yet ready. Manchester fund came to a standstill soon after it started. Baronde Rogue, who had contributed $100, asked to have it back, wishing to turn it over to the Lumileys. The situation now is rather awkward. Sofaronly British lawyers have reaped any benefit from the fund, since American women raised this sum, which the lawyers said was sufficient to procure a new trial. The present condition of the case is not likely to gratify the subscribers. What money has been hitherto donated is practi- cally thrown away, uniess more is forth- coming. Mr. A. G. Menocal, chief engineer of the Nicaragua Canal, is seriously ill at Crown’s Hotel with the influenza. For fourteen days his life was despaired of. Happily he has mended now, and hopes soon to escape Lon- don’s disease-laden air. He has visited the principal engineering works in Engiand and on the Continent getting points for the Nicagagua Canal. Menocal says no attempt is now being made to float stock on the London. When the work is further com- pleted he will work the market on this side. Only a mile has been done as yet. Menocal thinks there is no doubt that the Nicaragua Canal will be a greater financial success than the Suez Canal. Intense interest is felt here as to whether extradition laws can bring the strong Sam- son back for trial on a charge ot theft. Sam son is a native of Detroit. His appearance in the dock here would probably have ied to disclosures of immorality almost incredible in its details, which were current gossip during Samson’s appearance at the Aquarium. Prince George’s health still gives cause for anxiety. It is for his sake that the Princess of Wales and her daughters are going to St. Raphael next month. The Prince of Wales intends leaving En- gland for the south or France whence he proceeds to Egypt. Nothing will be seen of them in London this season. Public mourning for the Duke of Clarence does not appear likely to last long. Tradesmen are Aliscovraging the sale of mourning goods and are doing their best to inject some life into the ap- proaching season. The theaters are fairly full. D’Oyley Carte’s new opera, The Vicar of Bray, last Thursday was attended by a fairly fash- jonable audience and promises to become a moderate success. Teddy Solomon's music is hardiy up to his average. Isabel Urquhart salled for Australia to-day with Mrs. Bernard Beeres’ Co. Isabel has cropped comic opera for comedy. Gilberts new opera, ‘*The Mountebanks’’ has proved the popular success. A company was formed yesterday to take the play into the provinces. Jennie Dickerson, a New- burg girl, who had a great success last year in Carl Rosa’s Opera Co. has been engaged as | prima donna. LORNE AND LOUISE:. KINDLY REMEMBERED BY QUEEN VICTORIA— GIVEN A SINECURE. | Loxvpox, Jan. 30.—Thereis no end of scan- dal because the Marquis of Lorne has re- | ceived a practical token of the Queen’s inter- est, she giving him the post of Governor of Windsor Castle, where he has absolutely nual salary of over 7,000. Lorne has had more kicks than kisses from his royal relatives by marriage. Rumor as cribed the Queen’s coldness to him tothe factor his wife, the Princess Louise, being the only one of her Majesty’s children who has not supplied her with grandchildren. Count Gleichen, just deceased, was the last Governor of Windsor Castle. The House of Commons would have wiped out this ridicu- lous sinecure long ago, but it is absolutely in the Queen’s hands and canpot be touched. Princess of Battenberg made every effort to secure this plum for Henry, but despite the recent appearance Of another little Batten- berg, the Queen beld firmly tothe busband Lorne may not figure so prominently now in the list of the directors of American companies floated over here as he used to eke a livelihood. He got a pretty sum for his weak Life of Lord Falmerston, just published. He was chosen for The task be- cause it was believed he could consult many papers which Palmerston kept tn the archives of Buckingham Palace and Windsor. TO THE MOURNEES.’’ LORD TEXNY60N’S TRIBUTE TO THE MEMORY OF PRINCE ALBERT VICTOR. London, Jan. 20.—Though Tennyson, as poet laureate, enjoys a large salary as an employe of the civil list on condition of writ- ing poems on national occasions, be has sold the brief effasion on the Duke of Clarence’s death tothe highest bicder. Those fortun- ate enougf to obtain advance copies of the February Nimeteenth Century to-day can read it. But the general mass of the reading public will not see it, forin view of the stiff price paid Tennyson for this poem, the pub- lishers issued a notice that quoting more The | ger to their country in the THE KOLAO HUI Riot and Massacre Threatened by the Chinese Murder Society.

Younghusband to Lecture on the Pamir—The Russian Famine — The Pope’s Health—Engiand’s Way of De- manding an Apoleogy—General Foreign News. SHANGHAI, Jan. 30.—6pecial telegrams of a disquieting nature have been received here from Ichang on the Yang-Tse- Kiang, 950 miles from its mouth, and from Chung King on the same river, 1,250 miles from its mouth. Bgth of these cities are COmparatively near the province of Hunan, men from which prov- mee were the prime organizers in the recent disturbances. Ichang was the scene of the riot and Massacre of thousands of Christians during the late troubles. The telegrams above referred to state that great hostility is being shown toward foreigners, and it is feared that further trouble will fol. low. The British gunDogt Esk, three guns, is stationed at Ichang gd the natives have shown a menacing attitude toward that ves- sel. It is in the Province of Hunan where the greatest antipathy to Preignert exists in China. It was in this territory that the people refused to perm it the erection of the telegraph, and have also refused to see in- troduced among them any of the modern inventions of the foreign devils.’’ It is likewise in Huna that the terrible Kolao Hul, the secret society to which the anti-foreign outrages in the Yangtze Valley are attributed, is the most powerful. Indeed this Chinese Mafia had its origin in Hunan. Unlike many Chinese secret societies, it is non-religious and is largely military. It has existed for about fifty years, and attained great power among the Huhan men engaged on the imperial side in the Taeping rebellion. At first the object seems to have been mutual protection against the plunder and extor- tion practised by the civil officials in dealing with the pay and migintenance of the troops, and this object is = pti preserved, but now its maimobject seems to be to drive out the hated foreigners and over- throw the Tartar dynasty. ne Kolao Hul in course of time admitted tajts membership persons who had no connection with the army, and k also laraged its objects.

It will be seen from the poem that Tennyson’s tribute tothe deceased Duke is but a lowly flight of the imureate’s muse, rich in adulatory phrase, commonplace in thoughtand short enough to demand every excellence. The otiose laureate did not even elect the sonnet form so much more fitting for this short élegiac than biank heroic verse. The poem igs addressed To the Mourners,’’ and read as follows: The bride! gariand falls upon the bier: The shadow of « crown that o'er Mm hung Hes vanish'd in the shadow cast by death; Se princely, tender, truthful, reverent.

ABOUT THE PAMIR. TOUNRGHUSBAND TO LECTURE ON HIS JOURNEY IN ASIA. Lowpor, Jan. %.—Capt. Youngblood of Central Asia fame is not spending his three months’ furlough in idleness. He has already consented to read a paper on the Pamir region at the meeting ofthe Royal Geograph ical Society, on Monday evening, Feb. 8, and Society of Arts, also on the subject of his experiences on the roof of the worid. Capt. Younghusband is one of the most CAPT. ‘daring travelers and explorers of modern | times. The beginning of the recent troubies in the Pamir, which recently promised to in- volve England and Russia, had its origin in what has passed into history asthe Young- husband incident. Late last summer a party of Russians, numbering eight officers, sixty horsemen and forty infantry soldiers, made an exploring expedition toward Afghan Chitral ana the Chinese boundaries, which all approach each other on the Pamir. Capt. Younghusband, a British officer, and probably a Eritish agent, was then on a journey t© Chinese Turkestan, and hearing of the presence of the Kussian detachment in question he started out to meet it. At Bozali Gumbaz he met a Russian advance post, and sent word of its presence to Gilgit, the nearest British fort. The Rus sian party wet by Capt. Younghusband con- sisted of ten Cossack infantry soldiers in charge of supplies. Five Russian officers, a surveyor and an escort of thirty mounted Cossacks, he learned, had goné forward in the direction of Chitral. The last party soon after return ed to Bozat Gumbaz and treated Capt. Young- husband very well. The officer in command, however, informed the British officer that Russia claimed the Whale country up to the Khore Bahdt Pass. This party, under Col. Tano, then went on to join a Russian ad- Vance party of sixty men and officers who were on the Great Pamir. Un the following day a number of Russian horsemen rode upto Capt. Younghusband’s camp, surrounded his tent, and their com- manding officer, Col. Yanoff, informed him that orders had been received that morning from the Russian Governor-General that Capt. Younghugband and another British officer with him, Lieut. Davison, were to be Geported to Chinese territory. Col. Yanoff, however, informed Capt. Younghusband that f he would unaertake to proceed thither without re-entering the | Under protest, Capt. Younghusband agreed ' | bash Pamir. and retired to Taghdum- He reached Giigit Oct.

In a letter to the Government Count Leo Tolstoi declares that the relief distribution of flour is inadequate in method to meet the needs of the situation. Hie says that there are three types of peas- ants. The first of these is relatively well to do, having twelve acres of land and probably four horses, and those next in possession of less land and two horses. Over the second class—those with two hbhorses—the sword of famine is continually suspended, and they must be helped to keep them from sinking to the level of the third and lowest class, who are actually starving, and for whom lack of assistance meang death. The Government is, however, only helping the lowest class. REMARKABLE MANIFESTO. Loxpown, Jan. 20,.—The Datly Graphic to-aay publishes a manifesto which it says has been issued by the Russian Zemstovs (local ad- ministrative bodies), which are composed of country gentlemen and land-owners, on the famine in Russia and the inadequacy of measures to afford relief. The Globe and other papers commenting on this manifesto declare that it is the most re- markable expression of public opinion that Russia has ever given. The lotteries for the benefit of the famine fundandthe way in which public benevolence is so systematically thwarted is especially condemned. The manifesto declares that Tolstol’s efforts to lighten the sufferings of the famine-stricken people are only tolerated because he is a cel- ebrity. CANADIAN INDEPENDENCE. A MEETING AT TORONTO DECLARES IN FAVOR OF SEVERANCE. TORONTO, Ontario, Jan. #0.—A public meet- ing called by the Mayor was held here last night to discuss Canadian i inde- pendence. The attendance was small and a majority of those present were strongly opposed to the views expressed by those who advocated any change in the relations exist- ing between Canada and the Motherland. Mr. Charles Watt occupied the chair. Ex- Alderman A. k. McDonald addressed the meeting and said: Me have arrived at that state of misgov- ernment which no change can make worse. Every one acknowledges that something must be done. Some want imperial federa- tion, others commercial union and others au- bexation. If the people want any they must bring it about themselves. some people had satd that country Was too moral to unite with the Yankees, I look at Quebec and find that every other politician is a thief.’’ Mr. McDonald moved the follow- ing resolution: Resolved, Thatthis meeting pledge itself to en- constitutional means the complete and immediate in- representatives, Dominion, Provinelal aud — „ to aid us in this great and beneficent undertak- AK Mr. MacDonald was constantly interrupted during the reading of this resolutjon. Mr. Charles Durand, a lawyer ot thiscity, made a speech in which he strongly deprecated any such step as that proposed in the resolu- tion and afterwards proposed an amendment embodying his views. This was carried by a majority of those present, and the meeting dis persed. ENGLAND’S WAY. N HOW SHE PUNISHES REFELLIOUS SAVAGES IN AFRICA. Paris, Jan. W. — An example of Engiand’s treatment of inferior people is now being re- corded in the press, which is an odd accom- paniment of the severe comments in the British press upon America’s high-handed course toward Chill. Four British gunboats recently ascended the GamDia Kiver in Africa, a distance of 200 miles, to chastise a negro chief, who was accused of some hostile act, though the proof of his gutt was not complete. Three hundred armed British troops surrounded the chief’s village and began shooting. Thechief,a man of great daring and fine physique, boldly advanced, forcing his way through the enemy ranks and galloping away unharmed amid a shower of bullets. His followers scattered and made shiit to escape as best they might. The pur suing sallors kept up a merciless fire upon the almost defenseless biacks and killed fifteen of them, mostly women. They then burned the buts of the village and proudly retired, singing ‘‘Rule Erittania.’’ THE POPE’S HEALTH, CONFLICTING REPORTS FROM ROME—PROB- ABLE SUCCES#0OK. Lon bos, Jan. W. —Conflieting reports come from Rome about the actual condition of the Pope’s health. A private letter from an American priest who is inside the Vatican walls tothe SunpaY Post-Disratcn London office says that his condition gives cause for real anxiety and that at this moment there is grave concern bout the Pope’s suc- cessor. The custom of centuries will probably be observed and an Italian Cardinal will be elected to the chair of St. Peter. The popular opinion in Rome inclines to the belief that Cardinal Lavaliete, Bishop of Ostia, will be the successor of Pope Leo XIII. Perhaps the Bishop of Ostia will not satisfy the priests or those people who would desire to see the Vatican ranging itself in vioient opposition to the Quirinal, but he would satisfy the aposties of Compromise, who desire a quiet and moderate policy, UNDER POLICE EtCortT. THE SALVATION ARMY STILL PARADES THROUGH THE STREETS OF EASTBOURSE. being that the meetings must be only sum mons, and on no aggrieved persons that a nuisance has been committed.“ The opposition to the Salvationists contin- unes to be of any exciting character, when the hostile crowds assume extensive propor- tions. The usual row is about as follows: Aftera ‘‘preliminary council of war,’’ the members of the army,a number carrying brass instruments, emerge fromthe ‘‘Cita- del, and are received with groans and derisive laughter by a considerable crowd. Escorted by a strong body of police, the Sal- vationists go through the streets leading to the sea front, until they reach the foreshore just eastward ofthe pier. On their way, and particularly after their arrival on the sea front they are vigorously pelted with snowbalis. This practice appears to afford the on-lookers intense delight, but the processionists take the attack in quite a good-humored way and only sing more lustily than ever. A police officer attempt- ing to make an arrest is sure to receive such a heavy shower of snowballs that he is com- pelied to beataretreat. After that generally the police are specially marked out for tar- gets. The fSalvationists having marched on the beach, described a large circie, and the leader, Capt. Lune, gives out a hymn, which is sung with comparative freedom from in- terruption. Instructions are then given to the band to play, but a police in- spector interposes and informs the army officers that the instrumental music will not be allowed. He also warns the bandsmen individually against using theirinstruments. Amid increasing uproar anda gradual closing up of the crowd,a lively verbal altercation generally follows between the Inspector and Capt. Lyne, whereupon the latter repeats his orders to the band to proceed. The bands men raise their instruments to their mouths and are on the point of playing, but they are then prevented from so doing by the police, who knock the instruments down and break up the meeting.

Miss Mitcheli’s Attorneys Will Try to Avoid Publicity—Pubiic Sentiment. MemrPuis, Tenn., Jan. As announced in an earlier dispatch to-day, the Grand jary returned a true bill against Miss Alice Mitch- eliand Lillie Johnson, charging them with the murder of Freda Ward an4 with the stab- bing of Miss Joe Ward, the dead giri’s stster. The joint indictment of Miss Mitchell and Miss Johnson was more than was expected. When the news was conveyed to Miss Johnson this evening that she too would have to answer for Alice Mitchell’s act, the young lady became frantic and it was hours before she regained composure. Miss Mitchell, however, paid no attention to the fact that she would have to fight for her ptf but turned away and walked out on the land- ing and viewed the other prisoners. It was learned at a late hour to-night that Miss Mitchell’s attorneys will take a new tack. They propose to ask for a writ de lunatico inquirendo at once and try to get Miss Mitchell adjudged a iunatic and thus avoid the publicity of a trial. The State, however, will make a determined effort to have Miss Mitchell put on trial for her te, though oung and surpassinziy beautiful and rich in bor own right and by prospective iniherit- ance.

THE SULTAN’S WISHES RESPECTED BY FRANCE, A Levantine Journalist Expelled From French Tersitory on a Hint From the Sublime Porte—A Counter Incident to the Chadouine Episode in Sulgaria— International Complications May lok low—M, Marengo’s Appeal to Minister Constans. Paris, Jan. 30.—Advices from London to- Gay say there is no truth in the dispatch which the Figaro has received from London stating that Lord Salisbury is about to send a circular to the ’owers announcing that, ow- ing to to the succession of the youthful Khedive, the evacuation of Egypt has become impossible. According to the bedt informa- tion Lord Salisbury wij! not intimate that the succession makes any practical change in the situation, The brothers of the late Khedive, one of whom is with Ismail Pasha in Constantinople and the other at Cairo, have never thought of disputing the succession by the law of primogeniture. The suggestion madein the London Times the other day, that Ismail Pasha, the ex-Khedive, is detained at Con- stantipople for political reasons, may be termed as not strictly correct. It is the wealth rather than the polley of the ex-Khedive which causes hig detention. When Sir William Marriott went to Cairo, appearing at once as Her Majeaty’s advocate general and also as special counsel for Ismail, he obtained a settlement in cash and property valued at nearly £2,000,000, to say nothing of a fee which amounted to more than £20,00for himself. It is this wealth which detains Ismail Pasha in the cov webs in the sublime Porte. Had he been poor, with an income depending on the British Government, Ismail would have been free to wander where he pleased. But he was too rich for freedom, and the report ig strangely wrong if ismail's wealth is not now surely passing into the hands of the greedy governing class at Stamboul. Ismati was deposed by the Sultan of Turkey and was succeeded by his son Tewfk, who died a few days ago. OPENING THE ASSEMBLY. Carro, Jan, H. — The Khedive in person to- day opened the General Assembly. He con- gratulated the members on the result of their past action, and said that he would continue tne work his father had begun. EXPELLED FROM FRANCE. A MEASURE OF RETALIATION FOR THE CHADOU- INE INCIDENT IN BULGARIA, Pants, Jan, . — There now seems to have been some needless hagte in the expul- sion of M. Justin Managofrom French terrt- tory. His case of course recalls the Bulgar- jan affair of a few weeks ago, when M. Chad- oulne, a French jourpalist, was expelled from the Balkan State by order of Premier stumbouloff. M. Marengo has appealed to M. De Freyci- net, President of the Council, prot ng against his expulsion from France, and 00 manding that he be allowed to return. in his letter to the French Premier, M. Marengo recalied the fact that it was through him that the Moniteur Oriental of Constantinople became a Franco-Kussian organ and the sele controversial exponent of French ideas against the hostility of the otber powers, Through the Montteur Oriental, M. Marengo, it would appear, fought against English in- fluence in the Kast. M. Marengo, it would also seem, for some reason or other left the staff Of the Moniteur Oriental and came to this city, where he edited a paper which attacked Turkey and advocated forcing Abdul Hamid to renew the constitution of Midhad Pasha, and, itis presumed, he was expelled from France on demand of the Sultan. M. Marengo is now petitioning to have this sentence of expulsion commuted and to be allowed to return to France and his request is being considered by the French govern- ment to the extent of consulting the wishes of the Porte in the matter. M. Marengo’s expulsion took piace on Jan, 9, but the facts in the case have only recentiy become public. The following is M. Marengo’s account of the affair: The expulsion took place without the slightest previous warning. on Jan. 4%, . at s in the evening, two police officers ap- peared at my house, No. % Rue de ta Vic- totre, and requested me to call on the dis- trict commissary of police, who had a ‘little communication to make to me. ‘Your hus- band will not be away more than a quarter of an hour at the most,’ they said tomy wife, who wished to prevent me from going out, as I had been ill for a week. .
