Tbs TIDAL WAVE ON THE. NORTH PACIFIC.
We printed on the 3lst OF August a tele-
gram from San Francisco, as follows:
"On the 18th instant a singular tidal phe-
nomenon occurred Off San Pedro, southern
California. series of waves commenced
flowing upon the coast, causing the tide to rise
sixty-three or sixty-four feet above the ordi-
nary high water mark, which was followed
by the falling OF the tide an equal distance
below the usual low water mark. The rise
and fall occurred regularly every half hour
for several hours"
or course the cause is now clear. These
waves were started by the great earthquake
in Peru, and must have Travelled nearly 1900
miles within the two days or less that inter.
vened between the shock in Peru and the
effect in California-that Is nearly 100 miles

Tho Trial Of whelRn-His COnvic,
tiOn-He Addresses the Court.

OTTAWA, ONTARIO, Sept. ia large crowd
Of persons was inside the courtroom this
morning, but very few were admitted. His
Lordship took his seat at 9i5.
The prisoner, on being brought In. looked
pale and serious.
The jury, having been called from the room
In which they had passed the night and an
swering to their names, were asked the usual
questions, when the foreman replied they had
found a verdict of guilty"
The prisoner, who heard the announcement
with great composure, then made long ad
dress to the court, In which he very omph att
cally asserted his entire Innocence. He de-
MED having any connection with Fenianism,
and declared he had been condemned because
he was a Roman Catholic, and that evidence
had been deliberately concooted to convict
him. He was going on to speak OF the cruel
treatment Of Irishmen by England, when he
was interrupted by the Chief Justice, who
pointed out to him that whatever might be
the case elsewhere, in this country Irishmen
and all other classes were treated alike before
the law, and he had no reasonable grounds for
complaint.
After solemnly cautioning the prisoner
against enter tanning any hope of pardon, and
imploring him to prepare for the future, his
Lordship sentenced him to be executed on
Thursday, the 10th of Dece mber next, between
the hours Of ten and four.
The prisoner was then remanded. Intense
excitement prevails.
