Yet the circumstance that Lord Derby, the
Tory leader, desired to retain him in the Cabi-
net which he found it impossible to organize in
1855, and that Lord Palmerston kept him at the
head of the Foreign Office on coming into power
after Derby's failure, was an indication of the
manner in which he managed to conciliate, If
not entirely to satisfy all parties, and to render
England what she so often has been-a unit in
her treatment of foreign nations in time of
trouble and war. On his third re-
tirement from the foreign Office,
in 1885, Lord Derby again, as testimony 10 his
diplomatic skill, invited him to retain his posi-
ton after the radical change in the ministry,
but second time was met with a refusal. Earl
Clarendon's treatment of the questions at issue
between Great Britain and this country has not
rendered him altogether popular with us, but
his position on the Alabama claims question
was simply dictated by the almost unani-
nous sentiment of the leading statesmen
of England, and when he had such
a weak specimen of an immature diplomatist to
deal with as Reverdy johnson, it was not sur
prising that his own views prevailed throughout
the negotiation, and that the treaty, commenced
while Lord Stanley was at the head of the
British Foreign Office, was a complete surren-
der on the part of the United States The
Senate, however, promptly repudiated Mr..
Johnson's course, and Lord Clarendon subse-
quently handled the Alabama claims and other
questions at issue with this coun-
try in a manner rather more reserved than
before. Since Mr.. Motley's appointment to the
English mission, the only important question
affecting the two countries which received atten-
ton was that touching upon naturalization, and
the treaty successfully negotiated by him last
month with Lord Clarendon was one of more
than usual importance, as it sets at rest
questions which have been at issue for
nearly century, which have actually involved
the two countries in war, and which have been
the almost uninterrupted source of trouble
even in time of peace. AS the new treaty is
based upon the American theory of allegiance
and is a practical abandonment of the English
policy its negotiation was as creditable to Lord
Clarendon's liberal craftsmanship as it is salts
factory to the people of the United States
Lord Clarendon, in 1889, married Lady Katha-
rine Grimston, daughter of the Earl of YER

son Edward Lord Hyde, born in February, 1916.

The Great Fire mt Reading.

Special Despatch 10 The Evening IetegTdph
READING, June 27.-The destruction of the
new car works of the Philadelphia and Reading
Railroad Company, located to the north of the
upper station, at this place, has thrown out of
employment some five hundred men, most of
whom have large families The fire burned
fiercely throughout yesterday, and still to-day
there is dense mass of smoke issuing from the
ruins. The building, which was erected in 1865,
cost $4,000, and nothing but the bare walls
now remain. A great portion of these will have
to be taken down, as the intense heat has trans
formed the stone into lime. The loss will not be
so severe as was at first imagined, but will even
then foot up somewhere in the neighborhood of
$1250OO. The building covered a space of 700
by 165 feet, and was the largest of the kind
hereabouts. This is the third shop that the
company has lost. The fire originated in the
vicinity of the oil room, and it is believed that it
was the result of spontaneous combustion. The
company, it is understood, will Immediately
proceed to re-erect the works.

A FEMALE REGATTA,
The Sensation of the Season-SOme of the
Girls Preparing for the Contest-What the
Pittsburg Oarsmen Think of the Matter.


Some weeks ago, says the Pittsburg CONNER
cidI of Saturday, under the head of an Aquatic
Sensation" was published an item to the effect
that young lady of this city proposed to enter
the aquatic lists. Since that time efforts have
been made to arrange a race, and at last it ap-
pears that there is to be female contest on the
upper Monongahela course
The Nonpareil Club of this city give picnic
at Glenwood Grove on the 10th of July, and
offer as a prize to the best female oarswoman a
lady's elegant gold watch and chain. Three
girls have already signifed their intention to
compete for the prize, and two of them are al
ready preparing for the contest. Their names
are Miss Lotta McAlees, Miss Sheridan, of the
South Side, and Miss Miller, of Soho. Word
has been sent to the young lady that the Mckee
Club proposes to put in the field, and 1t is pro-
bable that there will be other contestants.
Miss McAlees and Miss Sheridan have already
commenced practising, and one of them on
Thursday evening rowed about in scull boat,
handling the oars gracefully and skilfully.
Some of the oarsmen deprecate the movement,
and say that it is calculated to make the manly
art of rowing burlesque, and bring it into dis
repute. One of them, on this ground, refused to
allow Lotta the use of his scull boat.
Others think that the girls have perfect right
to enter the aquatic lists if they see fit to, and
say they will do all in their power to make the
race success.
The race will be over the upper Monongahela
course at Glenwood, and will probably be one
mile, q half mile to the stake boat and return,
so that an excellent opportunity will be bad for
viewing the entire contest.

Brooklyn was the scene of another calamity
yesterday morning. resulting in the immediate
death of one child and the injuring of another

of Hamilton Market, situated at the cor
ner of Hamilton avenue and Van Brunt street.
The building is of brick, two stories in height,
and was covered over with what is termed
self-supporting roof. 1t was partly occupied las
a market, and the basement was used for stores,
but all the latter were empty except the corner
one, which was used as q liquor store by A.
Cunningham. About 7'15 o'clock a loud crash
was heard in the vicinity, and soon after dense
volume of dust ascended in the air. The people
focked to the scene, and for time the greatest
excitement prevailed.
CHILDREN FOUND IN THE RUINS.
On looking among the debris on the Van
Brunt street side, two little children were found
partly covered with brick and mortar. They
were soon extricated, and proved to be the chill
dren of Mr.. Edward Mullen, tailor living in
Hamilton avenue opposite the market. The
elder child, Isabella, was about IL years of age,
and was badly cut and battered about the face
and head. She died about an hour or two after
she was taken out The other child, Theresa,
is about years of age, is badly bruised about
the body and cut on the head She cannot re-
cover.
STATEMENT OF THE AGENT.
MT. heraD " DITCH, GHe agent Oh Tue market,
states that the building is owned by Mr.. s. R.
st. John, No. 121 Clinton street, and others. 1t
was built by Jacob Frost in the year 1856, who
also built and owned Atlantic Market, both
being built on the same plan. Hamilton Mar
ket was worth before the accident about $50, 900;
and in the event of its being repaired is dam
aged to the extent of $4,000 at least. 1t was
sold by Mr.. Frost to the present owners and
was used by the Health authorities as cholera
hospital during the prevalence of that disease
If afterwards turn1d
into a cracker bakery, and finally converted
into market again. 1t was insured against
fire for its full value in the Imperial and other
insurance companies, but there was no fire
there at the time. The accident took place aboul
7.15 yesterday morning, when more than two
thirds of the building fell with terrible crash.
The supposition is that the rear wall gave way,
part of which was built on piles. The building
was examined several times by competent
builders, all of whom pronounced it safe. The
owners intended to make a five-story building
of it in September next, and had no doubt
whatever of its entire safety.-N. Y. World this
