GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS. PORTUGUESE GRAIN DUTIES LOWERED—LUDWIG Iv. ILL. LisBox, March 5.—The Government has issued a decree granting permission to traders toimport 60,000 tons of wheat at a duty of 1% reis per kilo. This reduction from the normal duty on the grain is equivalent to aloss of $1,000,000 tothetreasury. The ob- ject of the decrease in the duty is to prevent a rise inthe price of the cereal here through the purchase of large amounts of foreign wheat at the present rate of exchange. It is estimated that this measure will stimulate the cultivation of wheatin this country and eventuate in Portugal growing enough of the grain to supply her own needs. oe STRICKEN WITH PARALYSIS.

Progress of Chicago’s Sensation—Train Robber Perry Attempts to Escape— An Electric Alarm Swindler—Ab- sconder Capturel—A Tough’s Double Crime—The Coldwater Bank Robbery. CHICAGO, March 5.—For another week at least the question of Dr. Henry Martyn Scud- der’s sanity will be undecided, owing to the protection afforded him by the law’s delay. Evidence to the effect that he isa victim of the morphine habit and kindred infirmities is accumulating and is likely to form .much of the testimony introduced by his friends to prove his irresponsibility. The fact that all efforts are being turned tow ard proving that he is insane andthat noefforts is made to deny that he committed the murder as charged must be considered asa virtual ad- mission of his guilt. Adding tothe weight of evidence going to prove the guiltof Dr. Henry M. Scudder in murdering his mother-in-law, Mrs. F. H. Dunton, comes the fact that he had actually so far planned the crime that he could and did make announcement of her death before itcame to pass. From Wm. BE. Clarke, Jr., who is an attorney at room 611 of the First Na- tional Bank building, it is learned that Dr. Scudder secured a continuance of a case against him before Justice Foster by saying that his mother in-law was dead, though it was the day previous to her violent death. Mr. Clarke is the attorney for E. M. Whittle, who had Dr. Scudder arrested for assault two weeks ago. The afidaviton which Justice Brayton is- sued the warrant forthe arrestof Dr. Scud- uer reads as follows: STATE OF ILLINOIS, COUNTY OF COOK, 88.—Han- nahdohnsomt, being duly sworn. says she was 8 domestic serving in the family of Frank H. Duntoa on the 21st day of Febrwary last; that on that das, at 42 Aldine Square, in the said county, she waited on Mrs. Elizabeth Dunton; thet about 8:45 o’ciock in the morning the seid Elizabeth Dunton was up and dressed and sitting in a reclining chair between her bed and a small table upon which deponent placed ther breakfast, ana Mrs. Dunton was reading the newspaper; that at this time no other person except Betty, the nurse, was in the room; that at her request the nurse took the milk down-stairs to warm; that deponent alse left the room; that when she (the deponent) returned to the room afterseven minutes, as she ascended the Stairs she heard a noise, Mr. Standing bent down and and that Dr. Scucder was standing with his back to the stairs and witheone hand was striking Mrs. Dunton vioiently.but with what lnostrument she did not see; that Mr. Dunton, who nad come from an aijoining room, end Mrs. Dunton were screaming; that Dunton was sick, hardly ablieto getup. He came toward Mrs. Dunton. Scudder shoved him back very hard. Scudder’s hands were bloody and left the print of his hand in blood on Mr. Dunton’s night clothing. Scudder, in avery excited andangry voice, told Dunton he could held her (Mrs. Dunton) alone. Mre. Dunton was stili on her feet when Scudder pushed Mr. Dunton, as above stated. She(Mrs. Dunton) did not fall until after Scadder struck Mr. Dunton, whea she fell upon the floor with her head pear the door. Her head wag bleeding prefusely.

RELIGIOUS NEWS. —— Archbishop Ireland Indorsed by the Pope —~Genoeral Mention. Rome, March 5.—A four column article pub- lished yesterday in the Moniteur di Roma en- | titled **Mgr. Lreland and his Calumniators,’’ has caused much discussion. Itisa vigorous defense of the Archbishop and evidentiy inspired, ifmot written by the Pope whose guestthe Metropolitan of St. Paul now is. In conciusion the articie says: Opposition to the Pope underiiesthe attacks on the American tleader, but his accusers can not darken the giory of the church, and can not lessen in the United States the empire ofthe Archbishop, who is to remain the representative of the influence of Leo X11. and of Pome, in the young and robust world where are being worked out new destinies for lhe work of relig- ried to a natural and fruitful result, by the co-opert- ating forces of Rome and the American despite the efforts of calummiators to a: — the im possible result of estranging from his holiness an incomparabie euxiliary.

CLEVELAND BLAMED FOR PRECIPITAT- ING THE NEW YORE “MESS.” Gov. Russell ora Western Man Could Be Elected—An Attempt to Boom the New York Senator Coughed Down-—Gov. Gray’s Territory Sacred From Inva- sion—Case Without a Precedent, New Yorx,. March 5.—Every member of the National Democratic Committee will re- ceive in the next few daysa letter approved by the Provisional Committee of the anti- Hill party in this State. This letter declares in effect that the anti- Hill Democrats are not wedded to Cleveland and will accept any good Democrat who can carry New York, They will contest the Hill delegation chosen atthe mid-winter Albany conyention, be- cause it does not represent New York Democracy. The most important declara- tion in the letter is that Clevelandis himself to be blamed for the ‘‘mess’’ in which the party has got itself. The letter was written originally to Dr. W. A. Anderson, a prominent Cleveland Democrat from Wisconsin. When read to other membDers of the committee, it was ap- proved by Mr. Whitney, ex-Mayor Grace, E. Elery Anderson, ex-Secretary Fairchild and others, and coples were ordered to be sent to every member of the Democratic National Committee. It declares that thou- sands of Democrats are opposed to Hill, re- gardless of Cleveland. The letter continues: **If the contesting delegation is thrown out at Chicago and Ilill ls nominated, we cannot answer for the result, Clevelandand nearly all the leaders will probably support the ticket, but there are many men who are little inclined to submit any further to the imposi- tions practiced for the past few years. These men rightly regard the Hill convention a proceeding which would be set aside in a court of law for fraud and duress. In some counties these men have held off from the contesting movement for the avowed reason that they want to see Hil! nominated so as to finish him forever. The majority against him in this State would be anywhere from 50,000 to 100 ,000 votes. ‘If Cleveland or any leading man of his wing of the party is nominated and an or- ganization of the State Committee forced, the opposition within the party would be a Nobody really cares for Hill, and his whole strength comes from the fact that he is supposedtobe ‘in it.” Tammany is held together by a mere handful of leaders, and even with them, except in the case or Bourke Cockran, it is doubtful whether there is an atom of personal feeling for Hill. ‘*A contest will not injure Cleveland If the trouble is taken in other parts of the country to investigate the real situation tn New York. Whether it does injure him or not cannot affect the movement. Probably he is responsible for letting them (the Hill man- nants) get his friends into sucha bad mess. Of course it would be safer to nominate the man who stands the best chance of carrying otber States than New York, whether he be Cleveland or ‘somebody else. Cleveland would probably poii the most vates here, as his great outside strength would cause the Murphy-Hillmen to run to cover. but it would be as well to nominate a good Western candidate or Gov. Russell, ‘*In fact, we have not voted yet, and we claim the same right to contest at a national convention which our adversaries practiced when they contested county and State con- ventions. We claim to stand on precedent and we claimthat our opponents are irrecu- lar. We are rapidly gathering in the old Til- cen leaders, and if our movement develops as it has promised lately there will be no cifficulty in provingin Chicago that we rep- resent the Democratic party of the State.’ POLITICAL DRIFT.

THE IRON MAREET. Depressed Conditions Demand a Curtail- ing of Product. CLEVELAND, O., March §.—In its resume of the conditions ofthe iron market the Jron Trade Review says: ‘‘The one thing in order is curtailment. There are signs, too, that the work has begun. Five valley furnaces will quit within the week, we are assured. That all that has been said the past three months of the desperately unwholesome condition of the market was founded on fact appears, on the one hand, py the wholesale discharge of employes, on the shutting down of pea milis and, on the other, by the ba failure of a& prominent iron which, there can be little will be followed by the blowing out of more than one stack, Theore men have not sold anything of late, and will not be in a position s00nD to sell, for there is so Mttle demand among furnace men for ore that even any concession the ore men were willing to make inthe matter of prices would be no induce- mentto consumers.

LORD SALISBURY’S PROPOSAL CHARAG a3 * . TERIZED AS ABSURD ’ ae ’ . . A Thirty-Mile Limit Would Be No Barrier to Poachers—Prof. Elliott Says One Seas a son’s Work Would Olear the Seas of , Seals—Preparations for Wholesale Slaughter. NEw YORK, March 5.—A Washington correge © ‘g pondent regards the sealing problem quite gravely, telegraphing his paper thus: If the London dispatch to-day touching the sealing question in Behring sea is authentic, and the State Department considers it probably true, B: then it canbe said on excellent authority that the fur seal rookeries of our Government in the Problioff Islands is doomed to complete annihilation next season. Itis etated thag Lord Salisbury refuses to renew the present modus vivendi pending the arbitration pro» ceedings, but will agree toa lmitation of some thirty miles around the sealing islands, This ig a manifest absurdity on itsface, It means nothing inthe way of protection for the nursing females. Female seals on the islands range, in search of fo004, over @ radius of twoand three hundred miles in the sea around the rookeries, and the sealer . will find more females 100 miles out from the ——— in Behring Sea than he will thirty miles, If thie is the decision of Great Britain then there is no use of further attempts on our part to save these interests from utter ruin, Congress should at once take notice of this result of the conference, which has been locked up in stupid secreacy at the State Department during the last three weeks. A bill should be promptly passed which will repealthe restriction which now prevents the slaughter or molestation of female seals on the islands. The correspondent asked Prof. Elitott, the recognized authority on the Iife and habits of the seale, who spent many seasons in Belhr- ing senasa Government agent investigat- ing the whole matter, to give a statement ag to the effect ofthe English ultimatum. The professor said: **If the alleged ultimatum istruethe ruin and extermination of the fur seal is at hand, Unless the modus vivend! is renewed the poachers will Kill practically all the seals left on the Islands. tThe law now protects these islands by prohibiting the lessees from killing or molesting any of the seals, and the Goy- ernment hasa large force there to see that the law ls obeyed, The seals, as they exist there to-day, are in the ratio of forty females toone male. All the surplus male life that can be teken under the terms of the law next year will not number 40,000 seals, Right on the ground by them rest 600 males. Large as this number is, itis on one-third of what I located on the rook sixteen yearsago. Thef come Kk islands, give birthto their pur 1 nurse them for four months, ¢oming and go- ing constantly in search of food for a distance of 20 or #0 miles. They spread out in seok- ing fish and cover an immense field, Shutting the pelagic fleet out thirty miles would not prevent the sealers from getting as g00d a chance of killing these nursin mothersas though t hers were allo to hunt within three miles of the shore. One hundred and twenty vessels, manned by/2,000 men, pext summer will destroy the herd without oiling within fifty miles of the isiands. ‘The pups will starve and there will not be enough seals to develop a herd of comi- mercial value fortwenty years. ‘‘Oongress,’" Mr. Eilott continued, ‘‘should ascertain at once whether this roposition of Lord Salisbury is final or not, f itis, abill should be passed immediately repealing the law oy gaa the kill of female seals on theislands. Ifthe Ca jan and American poachers are to be allowed to kill the female seals within thirty miles of the islands the law-abiding Americans on the islands ought to be allow a chance to get their share. The poachers will pay the Gov- ernment nothing, but for every seal killed on the islands the Government gets a tax of $10, This money should form a fund for the main- tenance of the unfortunate natives of the seal islands, who are wholly dependent upon this industry.’’ AT THE LONDON FOREION OFFICE. Loxpow, March 5.—Inquiry was made at the Foreign Office to-day by a representative ofthe press regarding the Behring Sea nego- tiatibns.
