THE BRITISH CHANCELLOR on THE WAR.
InNnnN- InnsanN- AM % laZZ-

LONDON. Tuesday, Aug. q. 1877.
Sir Stafford Northcote. in a speech at Plymouth
last night declared that the duty of England at the
present moment vas to pursue policy of the strict
est neutrality An occasion might arise on which
definite policy would be necessary, but under pres
ont circumstances the duty of the Government
was to keep in view and maintain in every possible
way the position Of influence Of England, that it
could be of assistance in bringing this most msera-
bic. disastrous cruel and barbarous war to a close
As the struggle became moro and more mortal
the necessity increased for England so TO plan hcr
conduct as to avoid the possibility Of her motives or
sincerity being misunderstood or suspected on
either side They had said the interests OF
England must be protected if attacked, and he
maintained this position, but not in the and
selfish sense which had been ascribed to the phrase.
What they wished was, in the interest Of humanity
and the world at large to bring about, If possible
settlement of the unhappy quarrel which at present
desolated Europe.
He hoped the Government would be allowed with
out having to contend with excited out
bursts, to exercise according to the best of
their Judgment and with firm resolution to do
their duty, the influence which still remained to
Great Britain in the councils Of Europe. He be-
lieved that influence was still growing and that it
would not be less powerful for good at the close If
the nineteenth century than it was at the COM
mencement.

QUESTIONS WE CAN'T ANSWER.
SALMON Cry, |. T !, July 90, 1877.


Ep1roR WoRLD:-Some few months
ago, while hunting in the neighbor
hood of Red Rock Station on the Mon
tana stage line, came across traces
of regularly surveyed line. Being
curious to know more about the traces
saw, l enquired at the station and
found that a few years ago a party Of
Idaho surveyors, in running merldl
an line to reach Salmon City, had
made mistake and crossed the Rocky
mountains, reaching a point near said
station, and then ofsetting west,
again crossing the boundary between
Montana and Idaho (the Rocky noun
tainsl to a certain range, then strlk-
ing northward to Salmon City. On
due examination of the work done, |
found that the facts stated by the peo-
ple at the station were correct, though
not expressed in technical language.
Knowing the nature of a surveyors
oath-that he swears to do correct
work, &C., &C., my curiosity was ex-
cited as to the nature Of the notes
said Surveyor handed into the Survey
or Generals Office. What was my
surprise to find that the map in said
office represented the meridian line as
just reaching the summit of the Rocky
mountains, and from that point the oft
set is made! Now, Mr.. Editor, wish
for information on few points that
perplex me at present. If you cannot
answer perhaps some one else can.
I have learned in Salmon City that
on that survey there were two
school teachers, graduate of some
university, a sturdy honest Scotch
man, Spaniard, besides the Survey.
or. Surely some Of these will explain
the few questions that are troubling
me-
Was II q mistake to cross the Rocky
Mountains, run few miles into Mon
tana, then offset west into Idaho, max
ing this westward line the standard
for the surveys in Lenhi county? If
this were not a mistake, why does the
map Of the Territory prepared from
the surveyors notes represent the me-
Fidian line as just reaching the sum
nit of the Rocky Mountains, and that
the Offset west is from said point? If
this were not mistake, would not the
line be put down on the map as it re-
ally is? Was it mistake made by
the craftsman in preparing the map,
and, if SO, why made in just the right
place on a line Of over hundred miles
in length? Can the people in Salmon
City TELL what Range they are in,
when the Standard Parallel for their
township is run from Meridian Line,
whose northern terminus is near Red
Rock Station, in Montana? Hoping
that you, Mr. Editor, or some kind
friend. will answer these inquiries.
