A rupture has arisen in the negotiations which were proceeding between France and England on the subject of Madagascar. Envoys from the latter country, who recently went, to France, have now arrived in London. Serious Outrage in Ireland. Police being Armed with RevolversNews is to hand from Dublin of a serious outrage committed there to-day. A mao who had just alighted from a V cab, deliberately stabbed a juror in the case of Hynes who is now under trial. The juryman now lies in a moribund state. A bailiff who was a witness of the outrage made an attempt to seize the assassin. The latter, however, escaped in the car from which he had alighted, but only after a struggle, in which he was severely stabbed by the bailiff. Consequent on the recent outrages, the force of police in Dublin is being amalgamated, and all the constables are now armed with revolvers. Mr Gladstone’s Resolutions-
