The Hernld's storm Warnings 4
Europe.


1t is extremely gratifying to us that the
work which we have undertaken in warning
the seaports of Great Britain and Western
Europe, through our London and Paris Blu
reaus, Of the advent Of dangerous storms,
should be already productive of increased
safety to the mercantile marine. AS in
formed by our London cable letter of this
morning the HERALD warning Of tho 18th
inst, which was forwarded to London
five days in advance of the arrival of the
recent disastrous storm on the British and
French coasts, was undoubtedly the means
of preserving many vessels from shipwreck
and hundreds of mariners from death. AL
though warnings of similar character had
been repeatedly sent from this side tho
officer in charge Of the London meteor
illogical Office states cmphaticaily that
the HERALDs prediction was the first
that has ever been fulfilled. The in
terest awakened in England by our storm
warnings for the benefit of international
commerce is justified by their importance
to science and navigation. While our first
prediction was fulfilled to the letter, our
second warming which embraced the extern
sive western coast line of the European con-
tinent, is proved by our cable letter to have
been equally justified. With this success
ut the very commencement of our labors we
feel confident that the HERALD will become
an infalliblc guide to the shipmaster and
the merchant, informing the first when he
can safely leave his anchorage and the Sec
ond when he can intrust his goods to the
care Of the seaman. The practical advan-
tages to commerce that must inevitably fol-
low this newest phase of journalism cannot
be overestmatcd. They will enter into
the closest relationship with the events of
our daily life and cannot fail to influence
them beneficialy. Science is making glori-
GUS strides toward the accomplishment of
human happiness, and the HERALD but en-
! deavors to keep by her side.
Mr.. CoyKLING ON OREGON. Conkling
made q brief and sensible speech in the
Senate yesterday on the resolution to sus-
| tain tho decision of the Electoral Commits
for him." he said, "that the people of Ore
pon, bv plain and undened majority,
honestly and Intentionally voted for
the republican electors" The vote OF
the State ought to be counted in ac-
cordanco with the decision of the majority
fairly cast at the ballot box. All beyond
that he disclaimed F; but, as it was unneces-
sary to enter into any argument on other
points, he confined himself to this reason
for his vote ind yielded the floor. Mr..
Conkling expressed the wish that the count
might proceed to its close without further
obstruction, so that the result might be
announced and the country be relieved
from further unsettlement and anxiety

An Incident.

He was sitting on a rail. in front Of a
saloon. where people were in the habit of
hitclliDg their horses. when No. 2 came
along and hit him tap above the eye. His
equilibrium was disturbed somewhat. and
he dropped on the ground upon the other
side of the rail like chunk of lead. No.
2 then walked out in the middle of the
street, pulled out a fierce looking dagger.
and in language more forcible than polite,
asked No. ! to come ont and see him.
Nothing dauHted. No. l pulled out his
knife and rushed at his man. They were
hands with knives. and when
severed by disinterested parties, it was
found that both had cut fearful and fright
full gashes in each others clothing, and that
neither one had scratch on him. They
were arrested, taken before Judge Ne
Pherson, who persuaded them to give $50
each toward educating the young and ris-
ing generation that man was made to live
a high and noble life. and not to sink down
below the level of the brute.
