London, May 15.—It is now regarded as almost absolutely certain that the government will make no proposals with reference to t tie office of viceroy of Ireland until the ministry moves a local government bill for Ireland iu the house of commons next year. Then the office will probably be abolished and the government ol the country placed in the hands of the chief secretary for Ireland, who will be promoted to the dignity of a secretary of stale.

Meanwhile efforts are continued to induce a member of the royal family to accept the position of lord lieutenant of Ireland for a year, and there is every likelihood of their being successful. It is said that the Prince of Wales has intimated that he would not be averse to residing in Dublin half the time, and this hint has beon widely circulated as evidence that his royal highness will be the next viceroy of Ireland. All of the Irish leaders who have as yet publicly expressed their opinion on the subject avow their belief that the Prince of Wales would exercise his power with more fairness and generosity toward the Irish peasantry than any man who has yet served or is likely to be asked by the Tories to serve in the capacity of viceroy, and his acceptance of the office, even f jr the brief period mentiunud, would give generul satisfaction. In the next race Zelica, a handsome daughter of Virgil, was the pick of the talent, and she won cleverly, with Millie Williams decidedly the best of the others, second. Time, 1:04. Storrs is 29 years old and his wife is 80. This is his second marriage. The letter on which the blackmail suit is based is said to contain scurrilous language.

Further testimony was introduced showing that Labee's treatment of his wife had been so bad that she was compelled to leave him. Afterwards he sought reconciliation. She yielded to his request, and on the 29th of February last went with him to the ■house of Mrs. Martha Schumaker, in Chestnut street There they quareled, after having had some refreshment. The quarrel was on account of her final decision not to live with him again. He stabbed her repeatedly with a knife, slashing her in a horrible manner, and kept it up until she died of her wounds. She had thirty-four cuts and stab wounds on her body. Most of the testimony was corroborative of that given before.

Viknna, May 15.—A dispatch from Vienna gives another version of the attempt to take the life of tho czar at Gatschina last Friday, news of which was telegraphed from Paris. The story in circulation in Vienna is that the czar was walking in the garden of the palace when he was approached by an officer, who fired a revolver at him, slightly wounding him in the forearm. The guards near at hand rushed forward to seize the assassin, but before they could reach him he placed the pistol to his temple and shot himself dead. lint.

Paris, May 15—Clinton Ferry, the millionaire from Tacoma, now nurses a broken rib in addition to the mutilated nose and other injuries consequent upon bis domestic troubles. , The court room was crowded with people anxious to hear the sentence and mark its effect upon the prisoner. Kemlnler, like most men capable of such brutality as that which marked his murder of his mistress, Tillie Zeigler, last March, is an arrant coward at heart. He is much frightened over the matter and manner of his execution, and may prove a difficult subject upon whom to try the first experiment under the new law. How Tliey Started.

After one or two breakaways they were dispatched, with Come-to-Taw iu front and the others very closely bunched, Once Again being last At the stand the latter had his head in front, the others being necks apart in the following order: Spokane, Proctor Knott and Come-to Taw. His rib hod been fractured in a street encounter with Leclerc, the young salesman whose intimacy with the fascinating Mrs. Ferry led to all the millionaire's conjugal unhappiness, and to the scene ot' a f'.v weeks ago, when Mrs. Ferry flew at her husband and bit off a piece of his nose.

Suddenly a tremendous storm came up from the southwest, which struck the building with full force. The structure collapsed, burying the workmen in the ruins. Those on the spot were paralyzed by the sight, but the citizens and laborers just returning home from work began to gather around the wrecked building, and hundreds were soon at work endeavoring to rescue the imprisoned men. W. H. Snell, who was a week ago elected city attorney, and who was a son-in-law of Bates, was soon after taken out so seriously injured that it is feared be cannot recover. On the turn Proctor Knott went to the front and led by the quarter by one length, Spokane second, the others head and head, a length further back.
