Grants Moderation Commended by
the Spanish Press.

MADRID, Nov. 20.-SenOr Pielton, late
Captain-GeneralO of Cuba, arrived in this
city, and since has been in close conference
with President CASTELAR,. The report that
Senior Saler, Colonial Minister, who was
sent on a special mission to Cuba, has been
summoned to return Immediately to Spain,
is contradicted. The Impartial asserts
that the Virginius was openly equipped in
the port of New York. The Spanish press
generally praise President Grants mOdera-
ton in reseving for Congress the settle
ment of the questions which have arisen
between the United States and Spain.

patch from Cape Coast Castle, Oct. 81,
says: Gen. Wolselley returned yesterday
from a reconnaissance in front. He reports
10000 Ashantees encamped at Maripion.
An attack was considered hazardous with a
handful of marines, but learning that the
enemy had withdrawn a separate column
toward the Prah, the general advanced, ar
irving next morning at Ambracampia, and
made several prisoners there. AT the same
time Col. Fesling advanced from Dunquat,
a fortified post on the way to Coomassie,
and destroyed some camps of the enemy
The latter rallied under cover Of the brush
and assailed the British forces-an engage
ment followed, lasting two hours, when the
savages were beaten off. The British force
then returned to Dunquat. They had Al
wounded.

Carpenters Case.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-The success
sion to Senator Carpenter as pro TEN,
President of The Senate, will come up at or
before the holidays. 1t is presumed that
Carpenter will anticipate the dilemma OF
his party colleagues 10y declining the nomi-
nation. Senator Anthony is weary of the
position, and 1t is thought that Freling-
huvsen will be chosen, in order to give the
chair the reputation of his family austerity
and purity. Little attempt will be made
to reorganize the committees in the Senate,
as the new Senators were all provided with
places during the special session of last

Cros.ias Niagara On q Rope.

slgnor Henry Balleni, an Italian, aston
ishcd the visitors at Niagara Falls, Monday
afternoon, by crossing the chasm on tight
ropo, as Blondln did years ago, and subse-
quently diving from the middle OF the rope
Into the river below, feat which his prede-
cessor did not attempt. Tho rope, 1900 feet
In length, was stretched from Prospect Park,
on the American side, To near tho Clifton
house, on the other. Both shores were
crowded with spectators long before the tlme
announced for the performance. About
o'clock Ballenl appeared on the Canadian
side and began to walk out, but after few
steps returned and ordered the cable to be
frightened. When this was done, at AS
o'clock the start was made. "All action aud
conversation" says the Buffalo Express, In
Its report OF the affair, twas now suspended,
and every ones attention was. given to the
man on the rope, who marched along, appar-
emily with the greatest ease, to the music of
the Drummondsvillo band, which was sta
toned In front Of the Clifton house. At
4:54 o'clock Ballenl reached the middle
his salutatlon to the tremendous applause
which greeted his exploit. After resting
himself for brief period the Slgnor again
started on his tramp. This was the only stop
made, and at 5:10 o'clock the perambulst
looking as pale as death, had reached the
American end Of his rope, he having made
the trip In twenty-five minutes. After another
rest Of thirteen minutes, Signor Ballenl again
took his pole In hand and was of to the mid
die Of the rope to make the great leap. 1t
took him Just six minutes to arrive at the
centre Of the rope, and when there he at once
began making preparations 10 jump. While
thus engaged he lost his balancing pole. which
fell Into the water and sank. A cord six feet
long, made Of rubber bands, was attached to
the rope at point Just lis feet above the
surface Of the water. Balleni caught hold
Of one end Of the elastic cord before the spec
tators thought he was ready TO go. He de-
seconded like an arrow, and the recovering
snap of the rubber was almost simultaneous
with the loud splash Of his fall In the water.
No sooner was the splash heard than the
head Of the signor came peeping out Of the
water, and he struck out vigorously and
heartily toward the boat which was there to
pick him up. He was quickly hauled into
the little craft, carefully wrapped up with
heavy blankets, and rowed to shore.
The Siguor intends to give exhibitions OF
this character every Monday and Wednesday
during the season.
