He does Ant know what precipitated this action on the part of tbe men. Tlaree loa,ds of Pink- eeton men lame lose (6,30) left the depot to proteet non.union men at work at West Albany, and trouble is anticipated. VIODTING }VIVI PINDERTON SsEN, Tho Pinkerton men on the Arta freight train moved from east Albeny were stoned ne they passed through the lumber diatriot, and.three of Jinni received severe bruises. About six o'cloole toaxight severe' hundred people were etanding on the bilge span. ning the freight tredve in West Albany yard& The Pinleerton men had been tame. ed there, and were looking after the safety of the railroad men who bad oome from Chicago and were then making prepare. tions to begin work to -morrow. The etrikers have repeatedly asserted tlaat they would stone any men who should engage iu moviug the freight there, and the deteco -Lived, fearing they would put their resolve into execution, endeavored to clear the bridgee. They met with some resietance, and in the melee which followed one a the spectators was eeverely hurt by being struck with a club in the liana's of one of the Pinkerton men. One ot the latter was also hurt, and was carried down to the paint ehop by his oolleagues. The Pinker,' ton men had no authority to disturb the speotatore at this bridge, being a public highway. The Albany police are now in charge of the bridge and everything is quiet there. TEM D. & 1. STRIDE OVER. The committee from the D. di H. strikers came out of Superintendent Hammonds office after 10 o'clock. One of the men said the D. re H. mdioials claimed they were not aware they were handling Centre,' freight. Superintendent Hammond sad: " The men asked for an explanation of oar- -Min matters and that was given them. The committee said the explanation was satis- factory to them, and that tlaey did not want to strike. I then told them if they wished to remain in the employ of the company to return to work in the morning, otherwise they would all be paid off to. morrow and the places filled with new men. A NEW MAN KILLED. Henry Wendell, of Brooklyn, conductor of an extra freight on the New York Cen- tral, wae struck by a bridge near Montrose station this afternoon and killed. He was a new man on the road, having taken the place of one of the strikers. An Albany despatch says: The hundred yardmen who are oat on strike on the Delaware &Hudson road at this point have agreed to return to work. The night forces went on at 6 o'clock to.night and the day force will go on at 8 o'olock tonteorrow morning. The men have become satisfied that their suspiMons of the Delaware et Hudson knowingly handling Centred freight were unjustified. The strikers continue to speak with con. fidenoe of the final results of the strike. The passenger service on the Central road was to -day beyond oritioiem. Six freights were eent west and seven south from the West Albany yards thie afternoon. There 'was no reight moved there to -night. The yardmaster at West albany said he had cleared two tacks through the blockade of cars, and that through freights to•day came over those tracks where as formerly pe.seen- ger tracks were used. A New York despatch says : Ur. Pow- derly and the Executive Board of the K. of It, ere net expected till this evening. Mr. 'Webb tan they would not find enything to -tawnier here on their arrival. Matters were progreseing favorably, and he was en- tirely Satiiffed with the situtteion as things now stood. During the evening a number of the Pinkerton men statiened on the tracks in the northern section of this city were stoned by persona hidden in or about houses in that neighborhood. Five reeeived in- juries and were taken to the Pinkerton oar in the Union station, where their wounds were dressed by physicians. Superintendent Bissell said to•night that the company had succeded in sending eight freight trains west and five south from West Albany and this vicinity. He thought the outlook good. THE STRIDERS STILL FIRM. The Central railroad strikers here are firm, and claim to be sure of ultimate suc- cess. They say there has been no intention of moving until the General Executive Board has given Instructions. Master 'Workman Lee says that unless the troubles are settled by arbitration the strike will be extended to all the Vanderbilt lines to Chicago and Denver and all roads handlint freight sent over the Central road. The passenger system of the Central Hudson road is again in full operation from this city. Mr. Webb has filled the places of the strikers in every part of the system. He said to -day the freight yards here were all clear. He hopes to start out through freights by Monday, and to begin receiving freight then as usual. Until the West Albany yards are cleared, however, not much freight can be moved westward. The strikers deny that Local Assembly 1,705 has gone baok to work in a body. No nisrunnANon. An Albany despatch says: The air brake hose on the Harlem train sent out from Chatham this morning was fonnd to have been out, and resort was made to the old brakes. Men are at work in the Emit and West Albany yards on the confneed maw of cars. One freight was sent west from East Al- bany at 10 o'clock. The strikers- are as quiet and orderly as ordinary speotators. elm STRIDERS' REPORT OF THE SITUATION. The railway strikers claim the news- papers are misrepresenting matters, and havo issued a bulletin which says: The c.ondition at present is a great improve- ment tipon the strike as it steed at 7 o'clook on August 8th. The best of feeling prevails all along the line, all our members being hopeful, and remaining staunch and true to the cause, Reports which are constantly being received lhero that the company are moving freight as well as paesengers are entirely tintrne, and none is being moved to any extent, and still refuse to receive all shipments of freight offered them, which entirely disproves Mr. Webbs assertions. The efforts of the convexly to incite our people to riot and violence by employing Pinkerton's men with club e and Winches - tees have so for been an utter failure. We eantion all our brothers to tuatara firm and 'vigilant and all will end in our favor. TIM Vint tam' =Sown. A Syracuse &match Says : The Esteem thee Board- of LocelliotiVe Firemen that beta been in minion in Mica fer the plot WO days, adjourned tonight, and the delta getee have returned to their homes. The meeting of the Exectitive Baud confided of fehrteen delegates, representing the Ione. teen ledges compritfing the New York lien. *MI dietriot, Theee fietirteett delegetee represent over 700 firemen in the employ of the Central, The delegate from Syraouse Ida& returned here to -night and talked quite freely et what was done at the meet - mg. He said that the meeting, though protraoted, wee one of harmony, and that all were agreed upon mattes of any im- portance. The meeting, he said, had been called to digc”.1 the advisability of strik- ing. Numerous speechee were need°, both in favor of etriking and against it, When the matter was finally put to the vote, it waa decided to tend by the constitution of the Order and not strike unites a enike was maenad by a higher authority. They concluded that they themselves had no grievanoes but what could be anaioably eettled with the company without the ex- pense of a strike. AN USIVILLINO BRIDE. A Young Lady Said to have been Drugged and Married. white UnoonaciouS. A New Haven, Ct , deapatch say° : On July 4th Mies Clara Fales, of Newark, came to this city to visit Mrs. Charles Stevens. There she met Frank R. Stevens, o brakeman. Stevens is a brother of Mrs. Stevens' husband, and was at the house more or less, although he did not live there, Miss Fales and Stevens became intimate, and the latter secured a mama ge license. The two were married by the Rev. I. C. Mereervi, one of the most prominent clergy- men in this city. The age of the young lady was given as 21 years, when, as a matter of foot, she ie only 18. She returned to Newark: four days after, but said nothing to her parents about the marriage until Stevens appeared there and claimed her for his wife, at the same time showing a marriage certificate duly certified. The girl denied that she was married to Stevens and refused to accompany him to title city. She has no recollection of the marriage ceremony, and says that she had been kept under the influence of drugs front the time she arrived in this city until a few /mare before she left, and that she would still be there had she not refused to drink the coffee Stevens' people gave her every day, which ehe claims was drugged. She said that if any ceremony was performed it was while she was under the influence of drugs. Mts. Fales, mother of the girl, came here on Wednesday and retained counsel to pro. secute Stevens. Miss Fales is a very pretty girl, highly accomplished, and is the lead. ing soprano in the First Baptist Church at Newark. "NONE TO TELL THE TALE. The Schooner Itichard Thompson Lost With All on Board. A Halifax despatch says: On the 4th of August the schooner Richard Thompson (Capt. Joseph 0. Green) left Pesten for Summerside, P.E.I., with a cargo of coal and a deckload of empty barrels. Since then nothing has been heard of vessel or crew, and it is the general impreseion that the vessel was struck by lightning on the night she left port and immediately went down with all on board. The storm passed over in the direction the vessel would naturally take: The belief that a disaster has occurred is strengthened—in fact, is almost put beyond doubt—bythe fact that some eighteen empty and broken barrels, together with several others that wereruore or less wrecked, wore found on the shore of Crapand, P.E.I., on Tuesday. The voyage is ordinarily maie in about three or four day, with a fair wind. W. T. Green and Pape Green, sons of the captain, have left for the island to assist in the search being made along the shore for the bodies of the victims. Besides the captain, there were on boaed the solemner John Richard, of Summereide, a Frenchman, name un. known, and a young man named Reeves, of Freetown, who was a passenger taking a eslt water tour for his health. Victimized by the Boom. A special from Paris, Ky., says : Last evening startling disclosures were made that throw some light on the disappear• ance of Hume Clay. Several protested notes turned up yesterday, and now it leaks out that he forged the name of his grand- father, Matthew Hume, for many thee:w- ands of dollars. The Bourbon Bank of Paris was caught for $4,000. The Clark County National Bank of Wincheeter suffers a lose of $20,000, and another bank is said to have been caught for $30,000. Young Clay lost about $13,000 booming lots in Winchester last spring, and is said to have dropped a pile in other booms. All hie property at Winchester has been attached. He is only 27 yens old, and is connected with some of the best people in Kentucky. His grandfather, Matthew Hume, is -many times a millionaire. Clay has a wife and a 2-year.old daughter, with whom he lived in apparently the happiest circumstances. Saved From a Terrible Fate. A New York despatch says: Four Euro- pean steamships yesterday landed 1,643 immigrants. Among the passengers on the Wisconsin were 80 Mormons on their way to Utah. One WAS a beautiful seventeen- year -old girl from England, Eliza Gee. She was a convert and was on her way to join her father, a Mormon. His conver- sion twelve years ago caused hie wife to die of grief. Eliza was trained by a rola. tive, and recently her father sent an elder to convert the girl and he eneceeded. On the way aver passengers dissuaded Eliza from going to Utah. The elder Willa farious and denounced them, but in vain. The girl will return to her English relatives. A Village Blown Up. A Radcliffe, Col., despatoh says : The contractors for the Denver & Rio Grande Railway, finding they could not finish a piece of road accor ding to contract, pub in a heavy blast, containing over a ton of powder, after notifying all the people to leave the town and seek ettfety up the mountains. The blast was touched oft and after the smoke olearea away it was found that the whole village had been demolished. Nothing was left of five houses, wbile 30 others were badly wrecked and rendered uninhabitable. The hcuses will be rebnilt at the expense of the contractors. In the meantime 35 families will be compelled to live in tents. Stout party, to life saver—You have saved my only child. What can I do for you ?

The first passenger Coach fell on the eegine, the atter having toppled., over.The engine set fire to the train. The fireman we instantly killed and the engineer fatally injured. As ar ae learned eight paesengers Were killed and about twenty injare4: The scene of the accident is near the scene of the frightful Woolaston disaster of fewo years ago. The train was the Vine- yard express, due in Boston at2.1.0 pan, and consisted of five or six parlor and pee- senger oars, usually fully loaded. It generally rune at the rate of 40 miles an hour at this point. TEE VICTIMS. The following were taken from the wreok : Mrs. Orontt Allen, Philadelphia; Mrs. Mary El. Fennelly, spa 70, Louisville, KY-; F. T. Johnson, Montpellier, Vt.; Jno. Ryan, South Boston, fireman of the train, and four women, two men and two chi'. dren, one a boy of 14, unidentified; total, twelve. The following died during the afternoon and evening: Dire. A. 0, Wells, Hartford, Conn., a daughter of H. L. Welch, of Waterville, Conn.; Alice and Catharine, daughters of Um E. Feunelly, of Louisville. The follovsiog are fatally injured: Mrs. E. Fennelly, of Louisville, wife of the cashier of the Citizens' National Bank Louisville'C. M. Copp, Cleveland; E. 0. Beiley, of Dorchester, formerly pro- prietor of the Boston Herald. Many ethers were seriously injured. A PASSENUER'S STORY. Wm. Fennelly, who was in the fourth oar, describes his experience in the wrecked oar as follows "Thirty seconds after the oar struck I would have given $1,000 for a drink of any kind, from whiskey to water. I thought I should enffecate. The death. dealing eteam entered the car in dense clouds from the locomotive boiler. It filled every crevice and nook, and almost suffia oated those whom it did not burn to death. It caused all the deathe, in my opinion. Serione injuries would have been the worst to report but for those deathly fumes. Men and women were gasping about nee, as they tried to shriek and shoat, and they beoame weaker and weaker as the steam filled their lungs. I could see them push their hands two feet through the broken windows, trying in vain to get a breath of frtsh air. It seemed as though eight or ten died right there before me. There were 40 or 50 passengers in the oar and all seemed wounded more or lase, twenty-five at least eeriously. I saw them crying for help and I did what I could. I saw the flesh burned from men and women as the cursed steam enveloped them and I heard them groaning in their death struggles as the Badding fumes became hotter and denser. The sights I saw and the sounds I heard will never go from my memory. Finally I reached the hole in the bottom of tbe oar and in eome way crawled out. All about was wreck and nein. The pas- sengers from the other cars had then hardly gathered themselves together and were not to be seen. Bat over on a fence bordering the railway track were ten or twenty men, and it seemed to me 100, watching the rain and powerless from fright and astonish- ment. I screamed, shouted and swore at them, but they would not move, and the more I cursed the more helpless they became. These men—I hate to ,call them that—eaw me rise from my perilous posi- tion ; saw me tear at the boards of the car bottom with all my might; saw me pull helpless women from the interior of the steaming cars; eaw me caught beneath a falling bar of iron and unable to extricate myself to aid others, and they refused to aid me. I do not now whether they were fools or cowards, but they received a sound and thorough cursing from me. I got out of the cars es best I could, and did what I was able to do in assisting othere." REVENGED A DRUNKEN INSULT, Two Alen Killed by an Enraged Husband with an Axe. A Bloomebarg, Pa., despatch says; A shocking tragedy oconrred at Danville last night, the details of which have just reached here. The reports as far ae re. oeived do not say that the principala of the affair were killed instantly, but subsequent developments show that their wounds are fatal. The names of the victims are Frank Sohnraski and Patrick Monohan. Joliet Mininiee, who committed the orimet is now in jail. Public opinion is in enmpathy with the prisoner, as evidence, as far as oan be learned, shows he committed the deed while resenting an insult to his wife. Sohuraski and Monohan went to Mininie's house during the night under the influence of liquor. After reaohing it some noise was made which attracted the attention of Mini- nies, who appeared in the door with a lamp followed by bis wife. One of the men told her to go in and mind her own business, but this she declined to do, a,t the same time making a retort, but before it was finished the lamp which her husband held was grabbed and thrown across the room in the direction the woman was standing. Mininiesat tame became furious, and seiz- ing an axe slashed right and left with ter- rible effect. The light was now extinguithed and a terrible struggle ensued. Mrs. Min- inies was knocked to the floor senseless, where she was found when the rescuers arrived Mininies was also overcome by a blow in the head, but soon rallied. Mono. hem was found on the step with his skull split, a deep gash in his shoulder, and otherwise bruised. His companion, Schur- aski, was found in the home, where he had been knocked by a blow in the forehead, which was split clear aorose. Neither of the men can recover. • A Suicide at elanistee. A Manistee, Mich., despatch says: Mrs. H. N. Dustin, the wife of a life insurance agent here, committed suicide last night by drowning in Lake Aliohigan. She and her husband have been reeidente of Mania. tee for eighteen years, and were prominent in church work. Both attended church in the forenoon. Mre. Dustin was subject to dolt headaohes, and had one last evening and remained at home while her husband went to thumb. She wee not at home when he returned, bat a note was left on the °entre table dating "11 you want to find mel will be in the lake." At 10 o'clock this morning the body was washed ashore nearly oppoRite her home. She was 40 years of age and had no children.

The rowers' apeenhetion on Vaetition of tho Sault Man's Empire, A, London Cable sayo A. report prevailo in diplomatic querters that a disoolution ef the Turkish Empire having, become in. evitable, Emperor Williem's visite to his imperial relatives and neighbore have been undertaken with a view to securing, it poosible'a peaceful divieion of Turkey anaong the interested powers, thus eettling the Eastern questione fee many yeara to come. Concerning this Earl Granville, who was Mr. Gladstone's Foreign' Seer°, tary, said to -day " If any one were to collect from day to day the evidence fur- nished by the telegrams from Turkeylas to the condition of the Oteomen Adinimetra. tion he would be convinoed that nothing ohort of a mirdede keeps the Turkish Empire in existence. Recently, for ex. ample, if was reported from Constanti- nople that the spread of brigandage in Asia Minor is so serious that additional troops =nit be oent to protect the workmen eonstrueting railroads. The State of Anatolia leas been inutile the same for the last twelve years. The adminis• tration is powerless alike to preserve order and to carry on the ordinary work of government. Only a few days ago atten. tion was called to the complaints of the Sultan's Mussulman subjects in regard to the misgovernment of Asia Minor. This is the most significent sign of the near collapse of Turkey. The Christians may be ill-used freely, but so long as the Muesul. mane are loyal the stability of the Sultan's rule, at leaet in his Asiatic dominions, is not dangerouely menaced from within. But as soon as the Turks themeelves are ripe for revolt the end must come. What keeps the fabric atill in appearance erect and atrong is not ite own solidity; but the deeire of the great powers that it eheal not at present collapse. This will enable the show of government to be carried on so long as the machinery does not fall to pieces from within. But the dry rot within the empire has spread so rapidly in recent years that the powers may at any time be confronted with a new problem—that of propping up the Sultan against the force of his own Moslem subjects. Whether in view of this necessity the powere will be able to make arrangements to put aside their quarrels is a queatibn not to be settled by epeculation. In all probability those powers which foresee the event and are prepared with a policy will best secure their own interests—their own share of the plunder." A MAN OF CONSCIENCE. A Faith Curist Figures Prominently in a Divorce Suit, A New York despatch rays: Judge Bartlett, et the Kings County County Court, rendered a decision to -day in the action for divorce brought by Samuel Casey against his wife, Emma C., on the ground of infidelity. The couple were members of the Christian acientists' Society, and so is the co-respondent, Geo. A. Stack, who is a manufacturer of dye stuffs and chemicals at Tompkinsville, Staten Island. The eon - duct of the wife and co-respondent caused quite a scandal in tho society, and •Judge Bartlett was greatly surprised at the ap• pearanoe of the co-respondent and defend- ant, who appeared in court to confirm the allegation of the complainant. When the judge asked the co•respondent why he ap- peared in court to testify to the defendant's shame and his disgrace, he mid he was a Christian man and was there to tell the truth. The plaintiff's counsel said the co-respondent was a faith curist and that his conscience troubled him. He therefore desired to make what amends he could and do better in the future. The judge con- cluded that the plaintiff was entitled to a judgement of divorce, and therefore granted it. The Evidence–of His Senses. A well-known San Francisco politicers who was returning on the nearow.gemge train from Los Gatos the other day, had a wild experience in a parlor oar. Juet as he was Mine to his lips the sixth cocktail taken on thetrainand the twenty.seventh that afternoon, he saw a huge snake crawl- ing up the outer edge of hie $16 pants. One glance at the reptile, as the glass dropped from his nerveless fingers, was enough for the horrified etatesman. "Great Scott 1 I've got 'em again," he yelled, as he rushed to the front of the car to flood his lower levels with seltzer water and lemon and rub ice on the back of his head. The pursnasive eloquence of the conduotor and porter was powerless to con- vince him that the serpent was only a harm. lees pet gopher snake that had escaped from the custody of the youneblady who was emuggling him up to the oity to astonish her metropolitan friends. The politiee,n shook hie head gravely and con. tinned the irrigation of his interior districts with ice water until he reached Market street and took the swiftest haols to his doctor's office. The Preacher Who Wouldn't Stop. An old Scotch lady who lived at a con- siderable distance from the parish church was in the habit of driving over to the ser- vice. Her coachman, when he considered the sermon nearly at an end, would slip out quietly for the purpose of having the carriage ready by the time tao service was concluded. One Sunday John returned to the ohnroh, and, after hanging about the door for a considerable time, grew nn - patient, and, popping in his head, dis- covered the minister arguing as hard as ever. Creeping down the aisle toward his mistress, he whispered in her ear " Is he no near dune yet? " "Dune!" returned the old lady in a high state of indignation, for her patipnce had long since been ex- hausted," be's dune half an hoor syn, but he'll no' atop." What a Man Eats. A curious calculation of the amount of food consumed in a lifetime of seventy years has recently been made by M. Soyer, a French savant, now chef of the Reforna Chile of London. Among other things M. Boyer says that the average epioure of three score and ten will have consumed -30 oxen, 200 sheep, 100 oalvee, 200 Iambs, 60 pigs, 2200,fowls, 1,000 fish of different ninth!, 30,000 oyaters, 5,475 pounds of vege- tables, 243 pounds of butter, 24,000 egos, and four tons of bread, besides several hogsheads of wine, tee, coffee, etc. This enormous amount of food will sveigh but little short of forty tons.—St. Louis Republic. A lady had been three hours in a jaded. er's store. She looked at eveterthing ; she bought nothing. At hist she inquired : "Are these the newest styles ?" "They were, madam, when you began to look at them." The Drake of Fife is one of the shrewdest of business men. All his investments turn out well.

Queen Efiatole enoe)tn'tenleras4,irAdodrrtel to the Tr It wee on or about this day in August, 1088, that Queen Elizabeth delivered her famooe harengue to the 20,000 soldiero compin Tiibury fort, The whole country reSrartmthoaristiihmaet itah: ffeovrmerldoLleex°Sitlrieliht armada was about to enter the Thatnes end begin its assault upon the nation. Both eideci of the river were hastily fortified and troope summoned. After having reviewed the aoldiers in London, Elizabeth determined to visit those at TilDRry fort, She rode on a war.charger, wore arum, and carried a marshal's truntheon in her hand. Her appearaine created great eothuoiaern among the troops, and their cheers 110 d011bt helped to inspire her with eloquence. All are familiar with the speech, in which the following ringing passages occur " have always so behaved myself that, uoder God, I have placed my ehiefest strength and safeguard in the loyal hearts and good- will of my subjects, and therefore I have come among you at thio time, not as for my recreation and sport, but being resolved in the millet and heat of the battle to live or die among you all; to lay down for my God, my kingdom, and for my people'my honor and my blood, even in the dust. I know that I have but the body of a weak and feeble woman, but I have the heart of a king, and of a king of England, too, and think foul scorn that Parma or Spam or any prince of Europe should dare to invade the borders of my realm." The speech completely won the hearts of the soldiers, and had the armada appeared they would un doubtedly have proved themselves worthy of their heroic queen. SEVEN AGAINST ONE. How an Extgl14h Officer Desert -_,d By His Escort Acquitted Himself. In the Nile campaign of 1889 Serra was the scene of an sot of great pareonal brav- ery on the part of an English officer whith it is a pleasure to record. It will well ex- pl aim, says Blackuood's Magazine, the kind of warfare they were engaged in. Bim- bashi Judge, of the Thirteenth Battalion, had been ordered to land at Serra village with fifty men, as a strong party of der. vishes threatened an attack there. He landed his men, and taking twelve of them with him he proceeded on foot to the western side of the village to see if there was any sign of the enemy. Suddenly a number of the enemy's cavalry appeared from behind the sand hills. The men with him precipitately fell back and left him alone. Calling on them to stand he fell back slowly. There were seven dervish horsemen altogether. Instead of cbarging down on him in a body and dispatching him, they tried to deliberately eurround him. This enabled him to use his revolver and disable three of them as they closed round him. By this time the fourth man, an Emir, wee on him. Judge, finding that his sword had no effect on the thick, padded coat and turban of the Emir, and being a very tall and powerful man him- eelf, as a last desperate resort seized the man by the ooliar, tore him from hie horse, and ran his sword through him. Just then all his men came up and dispatched the re- mainder of the enemy. The twelve men, who had suddenly lost their presence of mind and deeerted him, on their return to their regiment went up to their command- ing officer and reported the matter. Not a Mare osmium. If we were to concede that Behring Sea was by the law of nation's a cloeed see, and this it; most assuredly it is not, still by the Convention of St. Petersburg it was either made or declared to be an open sea as to ns, and so it has continued. When the United States acquired Alaska from Russia she acquired it as Ruseia held it Russia could not convey to her a more absolute title than she then had. What was settled by the Treaty of St. Petersburg must so continue until it is made otherwise by the joint agreement of the sovereign parties. When Mr. Blaine says that Ennis acted upon the assumption that the North Pacific was mare olansum, his statement cannot be correct as applied to as, for between Great Britain and Russia it was declared to be an open eea forever, and upon this assumption they subsequently acted. And if there were no subsisting obligation it would not the less be an open sea ; it is not endued between the jaws of the land. Behring Straits is 36 miles wide in its narrowest part. By what rule can the United States go more than one marine league beyond the point of land on the American side ? RUSSia may do the same, and so there will remain at the straits 30 miles of open eea. To what point south. ward is this line to be drawn? To the most western of the Kurile Islands? Most assuredly not, for these islands are isolated pointe in the water, each surrounded by a sea belt three milee in width, and where these circles of sea do not touch each other there is open sea, and no line of closure oan be drawn acrosathese highways. The line marking the outer limit of United States jurisdiction must be drawn with reference to the coast of the continent, as it would be drawn in the case of other States. Nor can the United States and Russia together do what neither can do separately. What would be thought if Spain and Morocco were to put forward a simibr claim to the straits of the Mediter- ranean and to so much of the sea as lies between the two countries? It is true there are other countries behind Spain and Morocco on the Mediterranean; so, too there are behind the United States and Russia upon the Pacific. China, Japan and India upon the one side and Canada and Mexico on the other have their rights. A claim by Spain and Morocco to olose tho Mediterranean would be less preposterous than that now put forward by the United States.—Hon. David Mills at Dresden on the Behring Sea question. Stellar Changes. One of the most notable examples of the constant and yet almost imperceptible changes taking place in the heavens is to he found in the motion of the seven bright stars collectively known as the Big Dipper. Huggins, the noted astronomer, IS now en. geged in proving that five of these stars ere moving in the same direction, while the other two aro moving in a direction directly opposite. Professor Flammarion has reduced Hug. gins' calculations to a system, arranging them upon charts. These ingeniously con- structed heavenly outlines ehow that 100,000 goers agothe " Dipper " stare were arranged in the outline of a large and irregular shaped cross, and that 100,000 year hence they will have assumed tho form of an elongated diamond, stretching over three or four times the extent of sky now oceupied.—St. Louis Republic.

THE CYCLOYZI, Eurron --- Toys with the Choicest Treasures from Webster's Unabridged. Monday was a hot day; the meronry climbed the tube for a brtath of freskaer way up to the 100.degree level. Aim* 3 o'clock groat banks of fleecy clouds began to pile in fantastic shapes high over the mountain tops. By 4 o'clock puffs of wind and miniature whirlwinds began to scurry through the valley, toying with the foliage and Fending np columns of sportive • leave's. Higher and thicker and darker the cloud battlements piled in the west, while those in the east, like caetles of light riding on billows of resplendent silver, loomed in magnificent grandeur. Over and among these aerial mountains the sun poured a flood of dazzling glory. " It was a summer day, a day of clouds." By 6.. o'olocle the western clouds had floated up. ward, leaving a broad belt of gorgeously sun- lit sky along the western horizon. Soon serpentine lines of glittering fire began to leap and wind among the crag -like cliffs of the floating eastern storm tower, and it was evident a storm had gethered up Rogue River. In a short time the loud detona- tions from the battlementon high pro. claimed the triumphent march of the storm. It swept the mountain side on the north side of Rogue River, from Evans Creek down to Jones (meek. Here it deflected to the north and moved along the hills, taking ebout the course of the old stage road to LOME. Creek and Jump-off-• Joe.
