England's Attitude.

The Chicago Times, i'll announcing
the fact that the English Mediterranean
squadron had been dispatched to Besika
bay, at the mouth of the Dardanelles,
says: "There can be no misunder-
standing the hostile feeling which die
tates this movement, and it is not diff
cult to imagine the Premier's object in
Selling the moment of the passage of the
Danube for placing an English fleet
within n few hours voyage of CONSTANT
nople. Disguised and disappointed at
the sudden subsistence of the war feeling
in England, and fearing that his oppor-
tunity for forcing the country into the
struggle is rapidly passing away, he has
sent the feet TO the Dardanelles for the
purpose of extracting from Russia an
indignant protest. This remonstrance,
he reasons, may come in terms that will
be offensive to English pride; and out of
the irritation consequent upon it he
hopes to re-establish some show of
popularity for his policy, and perhaps to
work the sluggish English blood into
passionate heat that will bring him the
support he desires for an immediate
declaration of war. He is likely to be
disappointed. Until the Balkans are
passed, the presence of the fleet at
Besika bay will involve no practical
consequences. The ships may as we'll
lie there as Mt Corfu. But if they hould
pass the Dardanelles when the Russians
force their way through the mountains,
the act would be almost equivalent to
declaration of war. It is not likely that
the prudent majority of the Cabinet will
permit the Russia-hating Premier to go
to that extreme"

Hoist by His Own Petard.

Albert Day, of Belleville, Mo-, quar-
relied with his wife and his son, aud be-
came so incepsed against them that he
devised q novel me thod OF revenge,
which was to blow them up with gun
powder. One night Mrs. Day and her
son sat in a second-story room, afraid to
go to bed, because Day had made vague
threats of killing them. A terrific ex-
plosion below shattered the house, and
set it on fire, but they were not harmed.
The explosion injured only the man
who had caused it, for he used a short
fuse, and the powder was ignited before
he could get away. He was very seri-
usly burned.

A Youthful Murderer.

Aimee Lacaton, girl of Is, in An
gouleme, France, was found running
frantically through the streets be-
smeared with blood, and soon after
dropped dead. Felix Fraiche, youth
of Is, with whose parents she was a SER
want. was found to be the murderer. He
said that he was alone in the house with
the girl, and that he seated himself in
the dining-room to write Latin exer-
else. The girl came to light the fire,
when he became seized with an irresisti-
BILE desire to murder her. He assembled
to his fathers room, took dagger from
the closet, and, on his return, plunged it
into the girls back, as she was on her
knees Mt the fireplace. She rose with a
scream and ran out, while he rushed to
the window to throw himself out, but
did not dare to Jump. He then struck
himself several times with knife, and
drank ether, but without succeeding in
killing himself. The boy was of for
bidding aspect, and deformed, and had
heavy upper lip, which, being para
lyzed, hung over the other. His eyes
were sunken, and he squinted. He was
condemned to Imprisonment until his
goth year. sl, ~ saf .ns

Misunderstanding.

The late Mr.. David Urquhart, among
other oddities, had decided hostility
towards the ancient and approved Gus
tom of shaking hands. He once formed
an association which aimed at abolish
ing the "odious" custom. Between per-
sons of unequal stations in life shaking
hands was, according to Mr.. Urquhart.
base conoescension on one side and an
impertinence on the other. The Turks
did not shake hands, neither would he !;
for shaking hands led to familiarity, ia
miliarity to false notions of equality,
and false notions of equality to Com
munism. Mr.. Urquhart gave express
sion to his views on this subject in a
pamphlet entitled "On the Desolation
of Christendom, through the Substitu-
ton of Familiarity for Politeness.' la

The Silver Report.

A Washington correspondent says that
Senator Jones, Chairman of the Silver
Commission, has practically compiled
his report, and will be ready to submit
it TO Congress Immediately upon its
assembling in October. The report is
an extremely long document. 1t attempts
to cover the whole question of silver as
a circulating medium from the earliest
times. 1t is very forcibly in favor Of
the reconciliation of silver. The re-
port argues that silver has always been
an important factor in the monetary
transactions of all nations, and has al
ways borne the same relative value as
gold, and that the passage of the act of
1873 demonetizing silver was character
lied by extraordinary lack of information
as to the effect that such an act would
produce. In connection with the con-
sideration of the silver question the re-
port discusses the obligations of the
Government in the payment of United
States bonds. The position assumed by
the commission in their report is that
the act of 1870 is n contract under which
all subsequent loans have been issued.
In order, however, that there should
be no doubt as to the specific coin in
which these bonds were to be paid the
act stipulates that they must be paid in
coin of the United States of the standard
value ut that time; 80 that whatever leg
islation might subsequently be had
which would depreciate the value of gold
or silver, it would be the duty of the
Government to pay in gold or silver coin
at the standard value of 1870, even if
obliged to strike coin of the standard
value of that date in order to meet it's
obligations for the redemption of these
bonds

Senator Salisbury then wished to know
how the witness could say it was member

The witness replied that many Democratic
witnesses had said it was generally believed
that the deed was done by friends of VIM

done by the Democratic party.

the conference tomorrow, Will not give
formal refusal 70 the demands of the powers,
The Pad Mall Gazette says editorially;
We have good reason to believe that the
outlook Eastward is at least as dark as the
kilograms make it appear. We were not
prepared for the thOrOugh-gOing Oostruc-
tiOns of the Turkish attitude. Even If Tur
key desire a rupture with Russia, 1t was
unnecessary for them to almost commit
general denunciation by rejecting every,
thing; they might simply have presented
counter proposals which General lgnatietf
could not accept.
On the other hand it may be, that having
determined to fight rather than to submit
10 more onerOus demands, the ministers
think it will serve them best with their own
people to reject all manner OF interference
in one word, and then we hear that General
Ignatieff is instructed to listen to no counter
proposals at all; if so, the next session OF
the conference will probably be the last,
and ny the end of the week Lord Salisbury
will be on his way home.
