The REMAINS OF CAPTAIN HALL. The
stories regarding the death of Captain Hall in
the Arctic Seas have given rise to considerable
comment and speculation. Would it not be
well for the government, when sending out
the next expedition in search Of the Polars,
to instruct the commander to repair to the
place where the remains of the gallant ex-
plorer are deposited and bring them back to
the United States ? The autopsy could then
be made, and chemical analysis would at
once sct at rest the question as to the manner
Of Captain Halls death.

THE SuAHs VISIT TO EUROPE His Majesty
the Shah of Persia is still fated right royalty in
England. Queen Victoria, in company with
the Shah, reviewed seven thousand soldiers on
the Windsor Park grounds yesterday. The
scene was OF an exceedingly brilliant chamc-
ter, the royalties of Britain, Russia and Asia
being worthily and elegantly represented
The republican municipality of Paris has re-
fused to grant a sum of money for the pur-
pose of metropolitan reception to the Shah.
The French festivities in his honor will, there
fore, take place at Versailles. This is an I'm
usual course of action on the part of the Paris
Corporation. 1t may be, however, that the
citizens of the French capital heve seen quite
enough of Imperialism, both Of home manu-!
facture and foreign.

SPAIN AND HER FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES. -
The London Times, specializing on the finan-
cial difficulties of Spain, suggests the farming
OF the Philippine tobacco plantations and the
sale of Treasury bonds. After Cuba, the
Philippines are the most important colonial
possessions Of Spain. What the sale of
Treasury bonds might bring to Spain we
know not. We cannot deny, however, that
money might be made by the farming of the
Philippines. But we think more money
would be made by the selling of Cuba to the
Cubans. We offer this last suggestion as an
amendment.

Catholic colleges, we called attention to the
fact that wealthy Catholics seldom think of
their institutions Of learning, and pointed out
the difference between them and the munif-
cent givers elsewhere. In the same connec-
ton we wish to say that it is no easy task to
appreciate the need Of giving money to
colleges and the constant necessity of
liberal gifts. Without these no institution
can accomplish its full work. Harvard, with
all its wealth, needs and needs constantly No
better season can be found than this Com
mencement season for a consideration of the
wants of our colleges, and, while congratulate
ing them on their achievements in the past
help them to still greater achievements in the
future. To-day hundreds Of young men go
forth with the seal of the Alma Mater to their
scholarship. Hundreds of others follow them
tomorrow. They are all better for their col
legiate training. But for the zeal Of devoted
instructors generation after generation, but
for the forethought of few men who repaid
part of what they received, these young men
could not have attained the high culture
which their universities and the world accord
them. This work. SO excellent and SO rich in
promise, must not begin to be disregarded
now; but the American college, whether it be
in its first decade or its third century, must
constantly receive new elements of life, that
each succeeding college feast week may be
brighter and more glorious than any which
preceded it.

The NEWEST "NEw DEPARTURE The
Syracuse Journal administrator predicts
that if the Ohio Allen county movement
called the newest new departure of the democ-
racy--becomes a general one land the design
now seems to be to make it SOY the same
political wire-pullers who manipulated the
Cincinnati and Baltimore Conventions will be
prominent in it. There is some reason to
believe that this prediction will be realized,
when it is understood according to the Gin
cinnati Enquirer, that the ''active democratic
leaders at Columbus have been considering
the propriety of decided advance in the
direction of the formation of new political
party. This newest new departure Of the
Ohio democracy will probably constitute a
subject OF consideration before the assembled
wisdom of the liberal republican party in this
city tomorrow. III.

FIRES In TILE WooDs. Up the Hudson, and
''away down in Maine and over in Canada,
and out in the mountains of Pennsylvania,
and in other parts north of Mason and Dixons
line, destructive fires in the woods have been
reported for some days past A some
what alarmingly dry season for June over all
the North had lett the dead leaves and under
brush in the forests as combustible as finder,
and in this condition the Goals from wood
cutters pipe, or the wadding from hunters
gun, or a spark from locomotive or the
farmers negligence in burning his brush
heaps, will account for most of these fires
The general rains of the last two days, though
rather light, will doubtless operate to some
extent as a check upon these fires: but with
out legal safeguards and officers in every
State for the protection of the woods against
fires, the work of destruction will go on until
wood will become SO dear. that the repairs of
the fences will consume the profits of the
farm from Maine to Minnesota.

The TREASURY BALANCE keeps well up, not
withstanding the drain upon it for current
expenditures and the payment Of interest on
the debt. There is seventy-seven millions In
coin and eight millions seven hundred thou
sand in currency. Standing against this Is
thirty-six millions in gold certificates. which,
if presented for redemption, would reduce the
gold in the Treasury to forty-one millions.
BY the LIST of July-that is, week hence-the
demand upon this stock for the interest on the
national debt will be nearly twentysix mil
lions. There will be left, then, clear Of all
demands, fifteen millions in gold and the eight
millions seven hundred thousand in currency.
But the incoming stream from GUS
toms and internal revenue is continuous
at the rate of little less than million
day, so that there is no fear of the Treasury
being short of money, or even short of an
ample stock Of specie.

The problem, therefore, is not merely to
cleanse the streets, but to purify the air by
some arrangement which will admit freer VEN
tilation in both the streets and houses. Till
this is done no city can enjoy immunity from
ravaging epidemics or the more silent ravages
of our ordinary but decimating diseases of
Summer The widening of streets, the multi
pication of parks and public baths, the archi-
tectural reform in ventilation, abridging the
number Of stories in our tenements, the rigid
and scrupulous daily and free cleansing and
deodorizing of alleys and all the backs Of
houses not open to the purifying breeze, her.
medically closing all city pumps, wells and
springs, and the stern enforcement of regula-
tions against profusion Of water on our
streets at midday will greatly assist in meet
ing the demands of the great health problem.
But with liberal and earnest policy for
carrying out these ends our medical Swans
must bestir themselves in the study of all
facts that bear on the issues of public health
as devotedly as they do with regard to those
which affect q private patient in their charge.
If this is done, and it cannot be done too soon,
we may hope to rid the great cities of the
mortality stigma under which they now SO
grievously labor.

BANKRUPTCY COMPLICATIONS.
THE GRNNEIL CREDITORS HAMPEEED-THE LUMBER
COMBINATION.


COMBINATION.
Next to the Sprague rumors, the prospect
Of an adjustment OF the complications growing out OF
the Grinne bankruptcy suits was the prominent topic
Of conversation It has been proposed by some OF the
creditors take the proceedings out OF court prior 10
the appointment OF assignee In bankruptcy,
and 10 settle the matter without delay
It f. proposed that the largest creditors VINO
are secured by stock collateral shall take the stocks
at price to be agreed upon, which will enable the
estate to pay all other creditors 1t has been suggested
that the price OF the stock but it is
doubtful " "a settlement be effected on that basis,
lnasmuch the Lake Shore which makes the bulk OF
the colatera Is selling in the open market at 6S ana
the holders Of the collateral would not be willing 10 pay
more for il. The creditors have been urged 70 make
some such settlement as it is intimated that the as
eiguee will interpose claim OF usury against such
mouey-lenders as have charged Grnne & Co. usurous
rates.
MI Williams the Junior member OF the firm Of Grin
nell IL CO.. said yesterday that efforts were making 10
effect an amlcable adjustment OF their troubles but
that nothing positive had been accomplished as yet
All that he could report was progress" He hoped
SOON however TO be able 10 say something Of results
II successful the firm would probably resume business
There was a rumor that Commodore Vanderbilt IN
tended to take up his Lake Shore stuck and that OF the
Clark estate and would insist upon Schel and Banker
taking up theirs. Nothing positive. however could be
learned IN the matter.
The bankruptcy proceedings instituted against Arson
G. Phelps Dodge have excited considerable interest in
commercial circles where the history OF the lumber COM
bination is well known Mr.. Dodge said that ne had
been served with the papers in the case and also with
tbe noners in similar proceedings behalf of Mr. Rip
lev of Newark who has claim against the firm or S5oO
or Sc GOO He was afraid that the firm would be obliged
TO 20 into bankruptcy although every effort had been
made to avoid such result Further than this he was
not disposed to speak OF his affairs, which he wished to
be private between the firm aud its creditors
