case Of political offences. The great

act of Congress of august IL, 1s4S.

Lord Derby briefly reviews the nego-
tIations in ls7l-72 and '73. and says
the violation In the case of Winslow
was not the act of Her Majesty's gov

government. He believes that the
United States is actuated by sincere
desire to maintain the rights which in
their Judgment are demanded by the
treaty OF 1912, and they wish the same
construction put ON England's mo-

derstanding between the two govern

A Peace Posg-WosD.

A Peace P0i0-WotU.
The session of the Universal Peace
society, at Carpenters hall. this morn
ing, came to q summary and peculiar
termination at noon. DIR. Chas. Pink
ham, Of California, began to address
the meeting. His manner was excited
and his remarks were wild and discon-
nected. 1t soon became manifest he
was insane, and calls to order were
heard on all points. President Love
insisted that the speaker be allowed to
proceed, and Pinkham went on, be-
coming more and more excited and
violent, until at length he sprang
Upon = chair, brandishing a sword In
q furious manner.
At this point several of the members
went out after the police and several
officers came in to remove the dis
turber, but President Love insisted
that he should not be interfered with,
and that the principle of non-resist-
ance be consistently adhered to, and
there was q consequent clearing
of the hall. A large crowd from out
side gathered, and there was great
excitement. At length Pinkham be-
came quiet and said in explanation
that he had been possessed of the inn
mortal spirit of Washington, but had
at last succeeded in shaking off the
spiri-. The spirit. he explained, had
attempted through him to pronounce
a new declaration.
There is great dissatisfaction at Pres
ident Loves course to-day, and here
tofore, and members say that If he
occupies the chair tomorrow there
will be no attendance.

Earl Derby on Ertrddition.
London, July 13. Earl Derby In his
report to Parliament on the extradi-

England, are that the person surren-

for which he Is surrendered. This Is

The Tribune says a few more re-

President without the support of q
single Republican in Washington. As
it is, many of thsoe who have hereto
fore defended him on almost every
occasion when defense has been neces-
sary, or at least held their peace an d
refused to criticise his actions, are to-
day outspoken in their condemnation
of Grants unwise, and to the Repub-
lican party almost fatal policy. The
explanations offered for the Presi-
dents course are that he has taken this
method to revenge himself on the
Republican party and upon the coun-
try, first for defeating him in his pet
scheme for q third term, and secondly
for the neglect with which he was
treated by the Cincinnati convention,
the ignominious defeat of his favorite
candidate, Conkling, and the indirect

IHE CAINO. TExAs Ann Pacific
HAloHOAD

The Texas Pacific railroad IL project
OF great national importance; and OF
such Importance is it to Cairo that II Is
difficult for us to conceive of circim-
stances under which we would not favor
its construction. We must confess, now
ever. that we find features in Mr. ATKINS
supplementary bill. introduced into the
house of congress last January, that We
coujJ MT from q national standpoint,
approve.
For instance. in section it is provided
that iiny-year ) per cent bonds shall DE
issued by the company. at the rate OF
$4,000 per mile ; and that the govern
inent shall guarantee the semi-annual
payment of the interest in gold. This is
nothing more ar less than asking the
government tn obligatc itself TO pay the
sum Of one hundred thousand dollars in
gold for every mile of the road that is
constructed. Twenty alternate sections
OF land. per mile in the territories. ard
ten III the States. having already been do
mated 10 the 7. l.. and the Atlantic and
Pacific railroad. we submit that the APP
plication for use CT the government
credit to the extent of 500, 600 per mile,
| in addition, is. TO say the least of it, a de-
mand that no other railroad project, ma
tional or international, would warrant.
The bonds TO which we have referred,
and which would amount to a total OF
over $50. O0O, 600. are TO lee deposited with
| the secretary OF the treasury, and are to
| be drawn therclrom ut the rate of $780,
900 for every mile of road constructed
| through the open county. and $4,000
for every mile through mountainous
country; "and for this purpose onc-half
| the road is tp be considered us located in
half in the open country" The adroit
phrlacology here employed gives the
company mountain prices for nearly
three hundred miles Of road that will
any other extraordinary outlay. To
| provide sinking fund for the payment
! OF the bonds, the company agrees to pay
into the treasury one per cent. per an
mum from the year lSS6 10 1900. and two
per cent. per annum thereafter until
the sinking i, large enough TO pay of the
bonds. This slow process would not
provide Il fund sufficient to meet the
bonds, at maturity: and 10 penalty or
forfeiture i, to DC cNactcd should the com.
pany disregard thi. provision Of the law
altogether.
Hence, while u member of congress
may be a warm friend OF the project. and
disposed 10 extend To il all safe and
reasonable governmental aid he might,
without subiecting himself to the charge
of Inconsistency, vote against Mr.. At
kin's bill
The road, as we have said, is one OF
great national, even international lnpor-
| lance; and until il is built and placed in
| operation the country can never have Il
reliable and ever open railway connect.

and more manifest every year; and ",

fourth congress may yet be able To pro
vide for its speedy construction.
