tracted from recent issue of the

An incident occurred on San
Francisco horse railroad, recently.
An elderly and very portly lady
passenger signaled for car to
stop at o certain street, but of
course tho rear platform went q
little beyond the dry crossing. The
old lady growled a great deal, and
the conductor stepped off the car
and offered his hands to guide her
to the crossing, when, forgetting
her exceeding weight, she sank
bodily into his outstretched arms,
and, as a consequence, the con-
ductor sat quietly down in the
mud, and the passenger fell over
his head. He swore and she
stormed, and the other passengers
laughed, but being behind time,
the conductor was obliged TO 60 on
his way, leaving the old lady try
ing to wipe the mud off her clothes
with a seyen-inch square handker-
chief.

Stokes in His Cell.

A New York correspondent
writes as follows:
I visited Mr.. Stokes and was al
lowed to enter his cell tho other
day. A great many of the stories
about his place of confinement and
what he says about the trial are
made up. He has held no inter
views with any gentlemen con-
nected with the press, and is not
allowed to state anything con-
nected with the Fisk difficulties.
His counsel have bound him by an
oath not to speak to any one on
the matter. They threaten to
throw up his case if he breaks his
word. His cell is as uncomfortable
and prisoH-like as his worst enemy
could desire. It is very small, ad-
hitting only q narrow bedstead
and a chair. The stories of the
elegant furniture, black walnut
bedstead, lace drapery and sump-
tuOus arrangements are all fctions.
It is q common cell of the old
prison stamp, A cheap, coarse
paper has been put upon the walls
to keep away the vermin. An old,
ragged drugget, that has done ser
vice for fifty prisoners, covers a
part of the stone floor. A marrow
iron bedstead of the most common
stamp, with bedclothes that would
be none too good for sailors
bunk, a pine light-stand and a
camp-stool compose the furniture.
A few rough shelves, put up by the
jailOr, evidently with a Ratchet and
hammer, with nails in the walls for
clothes, complete the adornment.
A cash in the wall near the ceiling
let's in light, but no ventilation.
Besides the grated door, there is
close iron door, and this has to be
shut to secure any privacy.
The gaping crowd surge around
the platform on the outside and
gaze at the inmates in their cells.
Stokes leaves his cell once a day
and goes down stairs into a room
where he holds conference with his
counsel for about q quarter of an
hour. The stories about his separa-
ton from his family are not true.
His wife, who belongs to a wealthy
family, has been travelling in EG-
rope. She was attended to the YES
sci by her husband when she sailed
for her trip. All of his neighbors
speak Of his affection for his little
girl. just before she sailed with
her mother for Europe some per-
sons tried to detain her from going
home. IT can't stay" She little
girl said !" l must run home and
get my papa's shaving cup. He
SAINT shave without me-" Stokes
feels bitterly and deeply his deqra-
lation. The terms assassin and
gall him to the quick.
He is satisfied that when his story
Is told the public sympathy will be
with him. The line 81 defence IA a |
very strong one, and the betting on |
5he street is go to 40 that the iury
will disagree or acquit.

The AIaBan1a treaty.

There is terrible row at the
North and in England about the
Interpretation of the treaty of
Washington. Lord Chief Justice
Cockburn having been appointed
one of the Commissioners to the
convention which is to carry out
the stipulations of that treaty, has
discovered a great and impractical
BILE flaw in this famous document.
1t is the article referring to the
damages to be paid by Great Bri-
tain, for the losses and injuries, re-
sulting from che operations of the
Alabama. 1t was intended by the
United States that this provision
should include the damages to pri-
yate ships and citizens, and that
the convention should be empow-
cred to estimate and adjudge these
private claims of our citizens.
But the Lord Chief Justice says
that his Government cannot con-
sent to such an Interpretation, and
that the demands of the United
States must be cut down to the
mere expenses incurred by the
Government in the pursuit of the
Alabama, and in the extra naval
force it had to employ to protect
our merchant marine.
If this narrow Interpretation be
adopted by the ministry, the IA
nous treaty, which was so much
auded as the great diplomatic tri-
lmph of Grants administration,
will prove a very sorry piece of ne
collation. and diplomacy, and We
shall be thrown back again into
another Alabama excitement and
There will be awful sorrowing and
bowling among the claim agents and
their lawyers. The treaty will be pro-
nOunced a great "sell, and the high
oints a set of old humbugs, who
passed their time in eating good dinners
md inventing new drinks, instead of
writing the treaty, so that the Chief
Justice could not drive q coach and six
through it. We imagine that this act of
Lord Cockburn will produce quite as
great stir and panic about Washington
'ity as the advent of his namesake and
'elative, the famous Admiral Cockbhrn,
lid on the occasion of his visit to our
rational capital in 1914. Tt was the par

says the English Government, in
the stand it has taken, has only
! obliged the unanimous impulse Of

Of Mr.. Gladstone are indiscreet,
and will probably prove mis-

In the House of Commons to-
day Mr.. Gladstone moved that a
vote of thanks be rendered to Mr.
Dennison, the retiring Speaker of
the House, and also a resolution
recommending his elevation to the
Peerage.
Mr.. Disraeli seconded both mo>

clamation.
In accordance with the notice
given yesterday, Mr.. Milbanks pro-
posed to call on Sir Charles Dixie
to justify before the House his re-
cent speeches against the crown,
but he was ruled out of order.
Mr.. Forester introduced q secret
ballot bill.
Mr.. Newdegate opposed it, ar
guing that it would lead to univer-
sal suffrage.
The bill passed on it's first read

The steamers Colorado and Ara
bian colIided just outside the Mer-
sey. The Colorado was run ashore
to prevent her sinking with all on
board. The Arabian, comparative
ly uninjured, rescued the Colora-
dos passengers, except five in the
steerage, who jumped overheard in
the panic caused by the collision.
The English press are generally
moderate i'll tone regarding the
Alabama claims, but maintain that
Parliament is almost unanimous
against allowing American de-
mands.
The Times, reviewing the de-
bates in the House of Commons
yesterday, says it is evident the
House favors reputation of Amer
lean claims for indirect losses.
Gladstone's language is not likely
to induce the Americans to with
draw their demands.
