GENERAL SUMMARY.

(Dates from Europe to March 2.) A sensation was caused in naval circles in London by the nonconcurrence of the Lords of the Admiralty in the acquittal of Vice-Admiral Fairfax, of Commander David Dickson, and Captain A. H. Hast ings of the ironclad battle ship Howe, which stranded on .November 2, at the entrance of Ferrol Marb<?r, Spain. Hilton Parker, a leading member of the firm of Parker and Co., London, who failed last June for £50,000, blew out his brains near Putney on February 22. He felt that by his arrest he had been harshly treated. He left a telegram for the Re ceiver, in which he said " Come, fetch your victim." The English papers are again figuring out the amount of the Queen's wealth. The sum ia placed at between £4,000,000 and £5,000,000, exclusive of landed pro perty. It is publicly predicted that by the terms of her Majesty's will her private property will not go to the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Edinburgh, or the German Empress, but that the bulk will be divided between her favorite son, the Duke'of Connaught, and her favorite daughter, the Princess Beatrice. It was reported from Belfast in Feb ruary that the Orange societies in the north of Ireland are preparing for forcible resistance to Home Rule. Ib is being arranged that all Irish opponents to Home j Rule shall simultaneously withdraw their deposits from the Post * Office Savings Banks, and purchase arms to bo used in case physical force is necessary to prevent the assertion of Irish Home Rule in Ulster. Inquiries are already being made with a view to a contract for the supply of the latest improved weapons. The Grange Lodge at Dungannon has received an offer from a Birmingham factory of 10,000 Martini rifles. Excitement is running very high among the Ulster loyalists. Many declare that in the event of "the Home Rule Bill be'.ng passed a civil war will eventually ensue. In circles "peculiarly informed," says a London despatch of February 12, about Egyptian affairs, it is understood that the Khedive will make another act empt to appoint Figrane Pasha his Prime Minis ter, and this time he will try resolutely to stick to it. The Khedive's tour through the Upper Provinces has been for the purpose of making sure that; fchs sheiks and chief men will stand by him, and this they have promised to do with enthusiasm. Tb.9 young man, it mnui, has taken the German Emperor for his model, and is fired with a notion of praying the parb of , "William." In the la&t map of the islands of the Pacific issued by the Bydrographical Bureau, fche United States Navy Depart ment includes the Gilbert Islands in ter ritory claimed by Great Britain, and 'this furnishes a dispute with America. General Yon Caprivi, Chancellor of the German Empire, is about (according to the "Deutsche Adelsblatt") to announce his engagement to the widow of Colonel Lehonan, of Tilsi*. On the sixty-second birthday of the Chancellor, General Yon Caprivi, on February 24, the Kaiser made the first call at the Chancellor's residence, and personally presented him with a sword of honour, gold hilted, and splendidly en crusted witb> precious stones. The gift is regarded as significant in view of the alarming reasons Caprivi has held out for the passage of the Army Bill. Queen Victoria proposes to send the splendid collection of historic tapestries from Windsor Casde to the Chicago World's Exposition, and also a number of paintings from her own brush, among them being water colour sketches of her favorite dog and scenes about her castles. The London " Standard," in a leader on February 22nd on the silver question in the United States, compares President Harrison's attitude with that of Nero fiddling while Rome burns, and suggests ironically that the Americana must ba proud of their Chief Magistrate. " Any thing more hopeless than his inability to grasp the situation," continues the "Standard," "cannot be conceived. It seems that there must be a severe shock in America before the people will show themselves wiser than their rulers and stop the creation of silver certificates circulated as money of full value."

AMERICAN SUMMARY.

Ex-Pfesident Harrison has accepted the Professorship of L>w in Leland Stanford. University, Palo Alto." Talmage, the sensational preacher of Brooklyn tabernacle, contemplates resign^ ing because of the finsneial troubles of his trußt. A lump sum of 24,000 dollars will be due presently. The Ameiican papers give full particu* lars of the launching of the new steel line of battle ship Indiana. She is 348 feet long on the load waterline, and 69J feet broad. Her mean draught is 24 feet, and her displacement 10,200 tons. It is claimed that she is the most formidable of the vessels of the American navy and equal to any war vessel in the world. President Cleveland's Cabinet is as fol lows-.—Secretary of State—Walter G. Gresham, Illinois ; Treasurer—John Car lisle, Kentucky; Minister for War—Daniel g. Laniont, New York j Minister for the 2j aV y__Hiliary A. Herbert, Alabama; Minister for the Interior—Hoke Smith, Georgia j PostmasterrGeneral—Wilson 8. Brissell, New York j Attorney* General— Richard Olney, Boston, Mass. The names are generally well received.

THE HOME RULE BILL.

From early morning the scene around the Palace yard at Westminster on the day of the introduction of the Home I|ule Biil was most animated, and crowds as sembled to witness the arrival of members. When the <?oors were opened there was a disorderly rush for seats, the members shouting and struggl;ng like a mob of excursionists. The veteran member Caleb Wright Was borne down and trampled on, and was with difficulty rescued. While the Premier was speak ing the presence of a lamp to aid his i liling sigh*, adied! pathos to the scene. Mir Gladstone started off in a low mea : suted voice, but his, voice, though clear at the start, weakened manifestly. He re covered bis voice somewhat during the peroration, which was remarkably fin© and impressive. At the conclusion of his speech Mr Gladstone was overwhelmed with congratulations. Throughout the time Mr Gladstone was speaking Messrs Balfour, Goschen, Chapman, Bartlett, and other prominent members of the Op position, listened with intent, and took a copious note. Lord Churchill sat ab sorbed on the front Opposition benches, striking hist beard incessantly. .Justice Hawaii, of th£ United Stated Supreme Court, in'conversation with Mr t^lad 'stbnete Secretary^ declared that the entire speech was a matchless peroration and the most beautiful in P»thos that he hart ever heard.' The London correspondent of the 4f New Tork Tribune" tele graphed to his paper' a? follows:— It was 3.45 o'clock when Mr Gladstone rose to introduce his second and last Pome Rule Bill. At six o'clock he had fimsbed. He spoke to a sympathetic House, and a listening world. He had ™[i\ x n im the expectation of a great English party, and the eager hopes of a maiorii.y. gf tjje Irijsh pep.pljs. He had', Tflieii fje entered' the House', the reception that might have |>eeh p|ven tq a king. The resounding ciieers of his supporters swelled through X I Ijeyer t^ei?

'before. They rose again in the same chorus of coming triumph as he began his speech. When he ended there were cheers, but what a contrast to those which greeted him first. There was still a note of personal loyalty to the great chief, but the enthusiasm and confidence were audible no more. He spoke from more voluminous notes than I ever saw him use, and his reference was constant; yefc with this help he seemed overtaxed. Re was very far from being the Gladstone of ©ther days. He was not even the Gladstone of earlier days at this new session. His ever youthful buoyancy had vanished ; his noble he*d was bowed ; his figure was nevei| quite erect; Ms face was ashen white; his voice came faintly and often it was impossible to catch what he said, and when he sunk into his seat not a few of his great audience felt that such a speech could only be the prelude to a disaster. The Bill is one which a statesman in the prime of his great powers would need ail his powers to carry, and it is only too plain that Mr Glad stone's energy is no longer »o spontaneous and irrepressible as of old."

THE POPE'S JUBILEE.

Three trains left Victoria station, Lon don, on the morning of February 14, con veying 534 pilgrims to Rome to congratu late the Pope on his Episcopal Jubilee. The journey was suggested by Cardinal Archbishop Vaughan, and at his request the organisation of the pilgrimage was undertaken by thb Catholic Union of Great Britain. Thia Jubilee was cele brated on Sunday} January 19, and was very impressive. At daybreak the peal ing of church bells in Rome announced the celebration of the Pope's episcopal jubilee. By four o'clock thousands of pilgrims, tourists, and citizens were crowded before the door of St Peter's. Two battalions of infantry in full unif6rm were drawn up before the cathedral ready to help the gendarme* in preserving order. The crowd grew sttadily but re mained quiet, despite the tremendous pressure caused by some 5000 ticket holders in a hopeless struggle to get near the doors. At six o'clock the Cathedral doors were opened and the f jremobt of the crowds swept in. Within half an hour the great building was crowded to the steps ; 30,000 pilgrims and 25,000 or 30,000 Catholics, residents of Rome gained admission. No fewer than 40,000 per sons were turned away by the military.' The Pope entered the Cathedral at 9.45 a.m., pale but smiling, and apparently in somewhat better health than usual. The Cathedral rang with tumulutous cheering as be was borne towards the altar, His loliness officiated at the special Jubilee Mass, intoning the opening words of the Te Djum and giving his ties sing in a clear, penetrating voice. The Mass lasted until 10.45 o'clock, but apparently aid not fatigue the Pope, who remained in the Cathedral for forty five minutes after the celebration, and then proceeded to his apartment. The crowd dispersedslowly. The scene at the Cathedral was brilliant .and impressive. The interior was hung with crimson, and was profusely dressed with flowers. The Pope, in full canon'cals, was borne to the altar, accompanied by a gorgeous proces sion, richly clad and bejewelled Cardinals aid officers of the Swiss Guard. The vigour of the Pope's movements during Mass tnd the energy of his voice and gestures as he gave his blessing, aston ished the people. During the afternoon the Irish pilgrims attended services in the Church of St Sylvester ana wore blessed by Cardinal Logue. The English pilgrims, at St George's, received the blessing from Cardinal Vau^han. In the evening St I weter's and all other churches, all the convents, and hundreds of private houses were illuminated. The streets were thronged, and the square in front of St Peter's was almost impassable. With out exception, however, the people were orderly, no arrests being reported. The Pope gave a reception to the Armenian patriarch, who presented letters of con gratulation and gifts from the Sultan of Turkey. Afterwards Cardinal Logue introduced the Trieste pilgrims to the Pope, who thanked them in gracious terms for organising the pilgrimage. He said that the Irish faith, piety and devo tion to the Vatican were always the sanae, and he exhorted the pilgrims to perse vere in their attachment to the Church. The Queen of England telegraphed to the Pope on the 21st, as follows : —I congratu late you upon completing the fifty years of your episcopate, and sincerely wish you health and happiness."

THE ABHBURTON GUARDIAN: FRIDAY, MARCH 24, 1893,



I SANDER AMD SON'S jEUCALYPTI EXTRACT There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract in the market now, produces of simple distillation forming crude resinous .oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken for Our I?wre "Volatile £noa> lypfci Extract, which is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government to be of perfectly pure origin, as per information forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we state:— It is proved by tests made by the Medical Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Prussia, and reported by Dr Schulz, Professor of Pharmacology at Bonn, and Professor Dr Mosler, Director of the Medical Clinic at Greifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of acids, resinous and other substances, adherent to primary distillation, will develop the sanative qualities proper to the plant. Ha.nd.er and Sons' ICuoalyptl Extract, according to these authorities, and according to Professor Dr Lister, of England, and to Drs Bauer, Mclntire, Wood, Hazard, etc., of America, is the only extract corresponding to scientific teats, and the only one which possesses the proper therapeutic value. All other crude oils are to be. olassed among the turpentimes, which have, when used as medicine, no therapeutic effect and are abandoned as an internal medicament. These so called Eucalypti Extracts, which may have received distinction at Exhibitions as commercial articles and are used for mechanical purposes only are discernible: 1. By their deficiency in pungent odour (which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extract, develops most freely through its surplus of oxygen). 2. By their alcoholic thin and mobile appearance, being reduced in specific [ density through the presence of acids. | 3. By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and • tannater. ] If these crude oils, or so called eucalypti extracts are applied by mistake in cases of croup, bronchitis, diptheria, internal in flammations, dysentery, wounds, etc., the consequences are most appalling. For safety sake ask always for Sander and. Sons' Eucalypti Ex tract and get the old, well-tested and reliable preparation —Sandhurst, Victoria, Australia.— Sander and Sons " KEATING'B POWDER" destroys BUGS, FLEAS, MOTHS, BEETLES, and all other insects,-whilst quite harmless to domestic animals.
