Ignored.
London, .June 13.—The Queen, it is
gaiii, is delighted over Gladstone’s down
fall. The Parnellltes, who accomplished
his overthrow, are going to eucoiinter the
hardest times they have ever had. The
Marquis of Salisbury, everybody begins
lo geo, lacks self-confidence. He has been
bold, but never far-sighted, as the leader
of the opposition, hut the very moment
the Gladstone Ministry resigned the Mar
quis ot Salisbury became a supplioant for
public help, abd vuwed he would not take
power unless the Liberals “gave his gov
ernment a show.” dir. Gladstone never
asked a “show” from anybody.
KEVKB LIKED GLADSTONE.
The Queen could not conceal her satis
faction over the change in politics. She
never liked Mr. Gladstone. He was too
superior to etiquette, could not flatter,
and was impatient as a state servant to
the throne. Her Majesty was so pleased
over the prospect oi again having a
Tot and an autocrat at the head of af
fairs that she telegraphed her acceptance
oi Premier Gladstone’s resignation, and
by w ire summoned the Marquis of Salis
bury to Balmoral to accept the trust of
Gritting it new government.
1: in understood that the Marquis of
;-1’ "i \ will refrain from entering upon
• work of forming anew Cabi
: i uutii after he has had confer
ences with all the Conservative
loaders. Singular as it may appear to
I ii rm is, the chief political iuterest of
Britons just now does cot seem to be in
the construction of anew Ministry, hut
principally in the foreign policy and sec
ondly .a die Irish policy oi the Conserva
tive government.
IAIPOKTANCK OF IRELAND.
Mr. Parnell certainly must have the
’measure of his ambition nearly tilled when
he has succeeded in malting the affairs
of Ireland the most important subject of
British interest after English foreign af
faire. When the Irish members on Mon
day night threw their votes with the To
ne. am! wrought the ruin of the Ministry
tbit gave Ireland church disestablishment
in tin l and act, they jumped upon their
seats and hurrahed. They were then
certain that the Tories, lilted to power by
Irish help, would at once “Darnel lize”
tlic government, nut tbe Tories having re
cover* .1 front their first excitement ap
pear to at tribute Gladstone’s defeat not to
liis fairness toward Ireland, but to the
ins,.if Liberal votes, driven from him bv
disgust at bis '‘submission to Irish bull
taiug.”
PROPOSED ALLIANCES.
N \ this “disgusted Liberal vote” is far
larger than tbe Home Rule vote. The
Tnri-s knew this. They are wise in their
day iind generation. They are playing for
Fir.'--- vote, and the Irish are “going to
¥ ..ii.” Tbe Conservative party is
■iirjily controlled bv the prevalent
■;>inion of the Tory clubs. Tie
■LV.rlhin and ether leading Tory
Kin!., all favor a theory advocated by
Bhrl Spencer, the Irish Viceroy, that
■i. n i- an absolute necessity for the con
■niimiee i t the coercion policy in Ireland,
■in ibis, p unt ihe Tories and a majority of
■ic Liberals will agree and on it, they
■mv cnniiiine against the Radicals and
■iirmcliies. If they do the Home Rulers
Hrii he in such a pitiable minority that
■bu voice will count for nothing in Bar-
Banicht, and a long lease of life will be
■wun I to the present mode of English
■ulc m Ireland.
■ SALISBURY’S PLANS.
Hit i- mu believed that the Marquis of
■Mishin v will seek assistance from any
H' r - Gladstone's Ministers in forming
■wi.ii|i'-> low aids Ireland. His plan will
Bl -si.lit tin Liberal parly completely by
Bfi>osing a measure of corcion
B*|| on Earl Spencer's re-
B |) n—a measure flic same as
■jinMarquis of Hartinaton, Gladstone's
Br Minister, and a majority of Glsd
■knii-'s cabinet insisted on continuing.
■' q>iie ot the opposition ol Sir Charles
H 1' 1 . Joseph Chamberlain and
fIF 'l'revelyn, such a line ot
Bfbli policy would be almost
■mam in lead to at least a temporary

■iiil Toi'ies a amsl the Radicals and I’ar-
Bjl'dea, and give tbe new government a
majority. It would tie haul

EFFECT OF GLADSTONE’S RETIREMENT.
Mr. Gladstone’s intimation of a deter
mination to retire from public life has for
the present utterly disorganized the
Liberal arrangements for the coming elec
toral struggle. Desperate efforts have
been made to secure front him a number of
engagements to make campaign speeches
during the ensuing election. The otilv
engagement admitted by Mr. Gladstone
is one tor Midlothian, in a recent letter
declining a request for a speeoh elsewhere,
the Premier states that he has given a
verbal promise to his political agents in
Midlothian that he will not retire without
addressing that (his present) constitu
ency.
Tbe Liberal election agents generally
report great difficulty in obtaining candi
dates to contest seats on the Liberal plat
form. Radical candidates are, however,
reported to be plentiful.
DEMANDS FROM BIRMINGHAM.
The Birmingham Liberal caucus has
adopted in its programme lor the cam
paign tbe proposals formulated by the re
cent miners’ parliamentary conference.
These proposals call for the reformation
of the House oi Lords by the exclusion of
Bishops from seats and by a specific
limitation ot the power of the peers to de
lay or prevent necessary legislation.
SALISBURY ON UIS RETURN.
The Marquis of Salisbury is on bis way
to London from Balmoral. His accept
ance of the responsibility to form a Cabi
net is still uncertain.
The Marquis of Salisbury passed
through Edinburgh this evening on his
way from Balmoral to London. He was
met at tbe station by a large crowd of en
thusiastic Conservatives, who vainlv
clamored for a speech.
THE COBDEN CLUB DINNER.
Sir Charles Dilke on ihe Government of
Egypt and Ireland.
London, June 13.—The annual dinner
of the Cobden Club took place to-night-
Among the speakers was Sir Charles
Dilke, who said that although England
bad great interests in Egypt, other
European powers were also entitled to a
voice in the settlement of the future of
that country. Those powers, however,
ought to give a guarantee for the neu
trality of Egypt similar to tnat establish
ing the neutrality of Belgium. He be
lieved that the co-operation of the powers
and tbe Porte would insure tranquility
in Egypt.
In respect to Ireland, he said he de
sired fur that country the same forms of
good government as for England. He
urged Englishmen to give Ireland the
same municipal and imperial franchises
as are effjoyed by themselves. English
men, he said, have no conception of the
imperfections of the municipal
government, or the meaniug of
the grand jury system (or
grievance) imposed upon the people of
Cork, Limerick and Belfast. These peo
ple are compelled to obtain the sanction
of England for every small private bill
affecting local interests. These abuses,
he contended, were a source of weakness
and danger to English connection.
Mr. Chamberlain, in the course of bis
address, said he ootiid conceive no nobler
or more genial task of a reformed Parlia
ment than to carry out the legislation ex
pounded by Sir Charles Dilke. It must
also deal with the obstruction of parlia
ment,ary business, which resulted in
saddling tbe government with petty de
tails that ought to be referred to other
bodies. What was wanted was a remedy
for the deep-rooted discontent which is
the natural result of one nation trying to
interfere with and control the domestic
life and social economy of another,
whose genius and requirements are not
understood. He looked to the new Par
liament to accomplish this great work,
which was the only hope to pacify Ire
land and uiaintaiu the strength and in
tegrity of the empire.
The speeches of Messrs. Chamberlain
and Dilke at the Cobden Club dinner to
night will, it is thought, make a great
sensation. They are regarded as a direct
bid by the Radicals for an Irish alliance
against both W nigs and Tories.
BKC'HIIANALAND ANNEXED.
The Fecple ot the Transvaal Incensed
and Trying to Foment. War.
London, June 13. —The Earl of Derby (
Colonial Minister in the Cabinet of Pre
mier Gladstone, in an official communi
cation to tbe government of Cape Colony,
has intimated bis approval of the action
of Gen. Sir Charles Warren in the annex
ation of Beohuannland. This expansion
ot (.'ape Colony excites an interest in
England that is subordinate only to the
resignation of Ihe Gladstone Cabinet, and
this Interest is made even greater by the
glowing descriptions being published of
the capacities and possibilities of tho new
territory.
Tue London Times, in an article des
cribing Bechuanalaud, says: “In terri
torial extent it is much greater than
Spain, ll is well provided with food, and
contains the best pasture land In South
Africa. It will grow anything,” says the
enthusiastic writer, “trorn wheat to
oranges, and the finest of grapes. It wiU
furnish tiesides many thousands of farms
for nettlurft.”
The Spectator, alarmed apparently at
the possible outcome of this annexation
of territory, comments at length upon the
subject nd says: “In the same week
England assumes a protectorate over the
Lover Niger ami annexe* the vast prov
ince of Bechuauu. Can anything be said
now about tho rapacity of Germany iu
wanting the territory of the Sultan of
VRu, or of Franco in claiming the Congo
country?”
The government of too I ransvaal re
public arc Incensed at the annexation yt
Bechuanalaud to Cape Colony, and will
*o„k an alliance with tribes In MasUuua-
Innd. just north of BeohUanaland, ami will
try to foment vwr with England in the
nope that Heobuaua may bo reclaimed
to Transvaal territory.

Turpin Case.
Atlanta, Juno 13.-Just at present
the many friends of I)r. Feudal D. Thur
man are using ovory effort to ascertain
las whereabouts. Ten days or two weeks
ago Dr. Thurmon left Atlanta for New
Orleans, accompanied by a colored man.
W Idle tn New Orleans the doctor gave tho
negro the slip aud has not since been heard
from.
Dr. Thurmon, accompanied by hts wife,
camo to Atlanta twenty-eight years ago,
from bis homo in Vlrgmin, and has since
resided here. He appeared to be in good
financial circumstances, and soon com
menced the practice of his profession,
which was that of dentistry, lie did well
for a number of years, and a short time
ago retired from his proiosslon a very
wealthy man. His property consisted of
bonds of various characters, and a quan
tity of valuable real estate located
on Wbltehull street, Which to
still) owns. A few years ago
Dr. Thurmon built a handsome
brick residence on Wst Peachtree, which
cost him $25,000. liis house was hand
somely furnished, and the grounds about
the mansion t>eauliflod to such an extent
that il was known as one of tho hand
somest places about Atlanta. Here he
has sinoe resided with his wife.
He has always been an eccentric indi
vidual, and seemed to find more pleasure
in life by remaining to himself than iu
making friends and associating with
them. Whenever in the city he drove in
his two-wheel vehicle, the dutdlcuto of
which has never been seen in this section,
and probably never was made. The har
ness of his horse consist**! ot a pair of
reins, a bridle and a wooden collar, whloh
was hooked in some way to the shafts.
Borne weeks since he told his wife that
he had dreamed that if he did not go to
Mexico he would die, anu hud made up
his mind to go at once. His wile tried to
talk him out ot the Idea, and went so tar
as to call in some assistance. The old
doctor was firm, however, and insisted
that lie would die if he remained here.
Finally, alter much pleading, the doctor
compromised by agreeing to taao his
negro servant ana go to Now Orleans.
Immediately upon arranging the compro
mise Dr. Thurmon, accompanied
by his servant, left for New Orleans.
A few days after their departure the
negre returned to Atlanta and informed
Mrs. Thurmon that the doctor bad given
him the slip, and left the city. The negro
said that the doctor disappeared suddenly
while they were walking down the street,
and when he looked for him he could not
be found. The negro then returned home
and Is now at the Thurmon mansion.
When Dr. Thurmon left Atlanta he
carried with him several thousand dollars
• n money and a package of bond* repre
senting great value.

who has known Dr. Thurmon
ever since ho came to At
lanta, Informed your correspondent that
he hud written to Gen. Henry R. Jackson
asking him to give such assistance as may
be in Ills power to ascertain something

to points where it is thought likely Dr.
Thornton may visit in his travels. In the
meantime Mrs. Thurmon ami the Irlemts
of the doctor are feeling much uneasiness
