— ♦ ■ Eiy Electric Telegraph. — Copyright A LOVE TRAGEDY. BESULT: THREE DEATHS. CONFLICT BETWEEN LYNCHERS AND MILITARY. 11 PEOPLE KILLED AND 19 WOUNDED. CHICAGO EXHIBITION CLOSES IN OCTOBER. EMPEROR WILLIAM AND PRINCE BISMARCK. (PER PRESS ASSOCIATION.) London, September 21. L. O. Percy, a discarded lover, shot dead Bessie Montague, an actre?s at the Empire Theatre, and his rival named Gamer* Ho then committed suicide. There are signs of a collapse of the miners' strike everywhere, except in Yorkshire and Lancashire. The quay was crowded when the Germanic left for America with the Aus tralian cricketers. Three cheers', were given for the team, who replied with three for England. It is unlikely that they will play in New Zealand, and it has not yet been decided whether to visit Queensland or not. It is reported that Archbishop Walsh has gone on a secret mission to America to induce the Catholic Hierarchy to assist in forming the Parliamentary fund. The Home Secretary has promised to hold an enquiry into the circumstances connected with the firing by the troops on the miners at Featherstone on the Bth September when several were shot dead. It is rumoured that New South Wales is about to fioat one and a half million worth of 4 J per cent of Treasury Bills having a currency for four years. The Financial Times asserts the Victorian Government favor issuing a conversion loan at a minimum of 98, but a majority of the dealers and brokers prefer 3.V per cent the loan to be issued at 84 and that the latter course is likely to be adopted. The Rugby Union has rejected a proposal to legalise professionalism in football. Geortje Hill, who asserted he was an Australian millionaire, Golding, an architect, and Bowerman, an accountant, are being tried for fraud. It is alleged that they obtained and misused bills of exchange, and it is stated that the evidence discloses a gigantic conspiracy. Bowerman confessed that he had defrauded the Eari of Dudley of L3OOO. The Standard is astounded at Sir H. Norman's decision, and thinks the reasons given are inexplicable. The Times, on the other hand, considers the prudence and moral courage dictating the refusal ought to command general respect. Pakip, September 21. The French miners have agreed to submit the matters in dispute to arbitration. Berlin, September 20. Owing to Prince Bismarck's illness, the Emperor has offered him residence in an Imperial castle, but the doctors have forbidden him to accept the offer. The German press warmly applaud the Emperor's offer to Prince Bismarck of a rosidence in an Imperial Castle during the latter s illness. Washington, September 21. In a conflict botweon a number of lynchers and the military at Koanoke gaol, 11 were killed and 19 wounded. The Chicago Exhibition will close at the end of October.
