S'ttt:v[Hi MA"AZINE for August is a fic-

seven years. It swains six complete short
stones, by H. C. Bestow, T. R. Sullivan,
William 11. Shelton, W. Gaily Hewitt,uc-
tare l'iaon., and Harrison Robertson, the
author of ase of the most famous stories
ever published i Scribner s, " How the
Herby was %Von." All those stories are dia-
ti.guished by an individuality and delicate
fancy that maks them of unusual .tuality,
even for the high standard of short fiction
in American magazines. Mr. Benner, in
•' Frisch for a Fortnight," describes the
adventures which befell • strict clergyman
while living with • French familyon the
Bros:, near New York ; Mr. Rortson's
" 4h. and Journalism " is • love story that

Evidence in the ('ase of the People genus
1►angerkiog," te1ls an old•fashiroed deter
atm, story of the most ex0ftur kid:Octave
l'ranne's " The Find of Books " is • peep
into the future, when books and newspapers
will be furnished by the phonographin•
steal of type; "An Undtseovered Muder,"
by T. R. Sullivan, is • tale of real imagina-
tion, while the element of simple pathos is
furnished in the little sketch, " Awaiting
Judgment," by W. Cr'aily Hewitt, an Eng-
lish writer new to Americas readers. The
Betio. is beautifully illustrated by Um -
Wipe, Sterner, Hatherell and the distia-
geiabed Fried' artist, Rebid*, in addition
to the short fiction there is se amu.inr ia•
stalemate of George W. Chide% aerial story,

\‘ASHiNGTuN, July 23 -- Will
Piero be any tariff legislation at th•s Damien
otl'onyrees' That is the conundrum which
everybody in Washington has been try fog
to gums ever since l'reatdeot llevelud,
through chairman Wilson, sprung that re•
markable letter, favoring the original Wilt
on bill and opposing the Senate hill, on
1'oogrms and the public. At this tome
there 1. a dead lock apparently as firm as a
granite mountain between the House and
the Senate, each standing by its own tariff
bill: but these Congressional dead locks
have • way off getting unlocked just at the
tome that everybody thinks they have be-
come permanent and this one may not prove i
an exception. Had the 1'reetdent been ,
more diplomatic in the language he u.ed I
nonoeralug his party members of the Senate
then would be more probability of an
agreement : also of future harntooy in the
Itemocratic party.
It is stated that the letter never would
have been made public it Mr. Wilma had
not ascertained hat a movement was on
Mt to suthorl/c the House conferees to I
agree to the moor important Senate amend-
me0t• and that sixty Democrats had prom •
ised to vote for it, which with the solid Re
publican would have come dangerously 'tear
to panting such a motion. .As •hewn by his j
letter Mr. Cleveland prefers no tariff legie• i
tatios to the Senate bill with its duty en
Deal, iron ore, and other o-oelled raw ma-
r rials, o the letter was made pgblic to
prevent the surrender of the House.
The conference oommitwe will resume its
meetiafts this week, but with each side in-
structed to stand by la own bill there is ,
little probability that any agreement will
be roaches by the committee and less that

THE CURRAN BRIDGE STEAL.
Montreal Witness " In any otbercoun•

be followed by the resignation of the l:ov-
Cnn meat. "
TorontoWorld Tarry. Hun, .lchn Hag-
gett and the 1;•ieroment at ()Mier& have
frankly admitted that the department of
Railways and I'anal. was grossly defrauded
by the contractors and others identified
with the construction of the pow notorious
Curren 'badge. Some of the Government
officers have been dismissed In disgrace
others may fellow, and there is every reason
for refusing to pay sixty thousand dollars
and over, the unsettled claims of St Louts,
the contractor, until he clears his skirts, if
he out, of being • party to the fraud.
Toronto Empire . It is Nutto apparent
that the public have been robbed iso a large
orale In connection with the ereitton rd the
Curran bridge over the 'Achim" canal in
Montreal, and the revelations bay• laid bare
dishonesty of a very ttasrant kind. There
seems to have been systematic swindling
tarried on in cotnectlot with the work, and
the public funds have been etploited to
• shameful extent. The evidence brought
nut both in the preliminary enquiry and be-
fore the parliamentary committee indicates
• very oomplet.e system for hoodwinking
the department and making the country
pay an Immense sum which want into the
pocket* of dishonest person.
Toronto News 'Ind.: But the main
fact ID the business is that the robbery
which took place an co0sectron with the
Curran bridge a the direct result of the
weakness shows by the iovernnient in deal-
