ENGLAND.
LONDON June 1.-The city press comments
as follows on the international boat race yester-
day: The Times says the simple fact is that the
Americans have not yet learned-or they have
lost-the true style OF rowing. They neglect the
cardinal principles of effective rowing. The
wonder is that they were able to make a gallant
effort with such defective method We hope
the Americans will learn how to row; then they
may put our OarSmen TO severer tests.
The Post says the result of the race shows
that we have nothing TO learn from the Ameri-
cans. The latter were inferior in physique and
style. They had everything their own
way. The choice Of water was given
them, delays were conceded, and the
absence of coXswains agreed to; and
although they rowed two strokes lpel
minute more than the Londoners, they were
easily outstripped. The result conyinces us that
the English style is the best now practced. 1t
fears that the American press will eXaggerate
the importance of the unfortunate foul which
the AtalantaS had toward the close of the race.
The Daily Telegraph says: This race illustrates
that our national energy, stalwart strength, anC
dogged adherence 10 ways we deem best, viii
hold their own against the dash and daring o
our American kiusGolk. Both crews belong tC
the Saxon race, which is the only one which has
nerve and pluck 10 preserve manly sports
When the tables are turned, and our neighbOrS
across the water win victory, we shall regalo
it us an English triumph.
The Standard declares that more hollow af
fair was never witnessed. The Americans were
not good enough to win au ordinary country re-
gatta The effect will be to prevent the recur.
renee of International matches for some years
The moral to be drawn is that American oars
men must learn the first elements before coming
three Thousand miles to win.

The Recent Destructive Tornado,

CINCINNATI, June 11.-Later particulars from
the scene of the tornado which visited Quincy
and Degratf, Logan county, ILL.,, show that it was
more destructive than the first reports indicated
In Quincy, fifty or sixty dwellings and stores
and two churches, and as many more shops,
stables and outbuildings were unroofed or rocked
upon their foundations, or demolished. The air
was literally filled with flying weather-boards,
furniture, lath and plaster A parlor stove was
caught up by the wind and hurled through the
air, and falling upon woman crushed her so
that she died.
The tornado on its way to Degraff struck Boggs'
houring mill, five stories high, containing three
thousand bushels of grain, moving the building
nine inches upon its foundation, and carving
away the root and portion of the fifth story
It powed its way through Degratf, scattering
destruction in its path, but hurting fewer per.
sons and injuring a less number of buildings.
After leaving Degraff it passed several settle
ments and finally rose from the earth and was
seen for miles carrying in its funnel-shaped form
timber, rails and debris which it had gathered
in its destructive march. The papers this morn
ing give the names of thirty-ninc persons in
Jured in Quincy and eleven in Degraff, the list
not comprising all the injured in the former vii
lage. Mrs. Rail, reported to have been killed in
Degraff, is yet living, but two of her children
were killed. Morse Click, in Quincy, has since
died from wounds.

New YORK, June ia special to the Her
aid from London says that Earl Granville, see
ondcd by the Italian government, has proposed
a conference of European powers to consider the
course to be adopted, in view of the constant
recurrence of the barbarous outbursts against
the Jews in Roumania, and the propriety Of eX-
erting direct pressure on the Roumanian gov
eminent TO compel preventive measures.
Prince GOrtSchakoii, in reply to Earl Granvlle's
proposal, sympattizes with the prosecuted Jews,
but apprehends That the course proposed would
only excite agitation on the eastern question,
and that therefore, he is not willing to enter
into such conference. He proposes joint note
TO the ROumanian government as TO its intcn-
tiOns, and guarantees that it can afford protec-
tion to the Jews, and thinks this would awaken
it to some sense Of its responsibilities. Should
the reply to his proposals he unsatisfactory, he
would suggest settlement OF the basis of the
treaty of 1858. Prussia takes the same ground.
The answers of the other powers are not yet
known, but it is probable that the suggestion of
GortschakoH will be adopted
