An EnsIIsh view Of the 9. r. G. G.

LONDON, Dec. 3O-The TelegrdDh speaking
Of the arrest OF Mr. Mapleson at the instance
Of y society for the prevention Of cruelty to
chlqfen. says: Though no business Of ours
to hhd fault with the regulations under which
Americans choose to live we may be thank
full that our own children and young persons
are looked after with little more regard for
expediency. There are times when certain
good resulting from stage employment OF two
or three children OF q needy family outweighs
whatever risk to body or mind 1t may involve.
In England, though apparently not In the
States, this fact receives due recognition.

New YORK, Dec. 30-The Evening Posts
Washington special says that a Senator
who is well Informed on Western politics
says that Its looks now as II Mr.. Howe
would be reelected to the Senate In
Wisconsin. Mr.. Keys, the Wisconsin Boss,
has become the rival instead OF the backer Of

chances very good. The Illinois Senatorship
Is doubtful, the Republican majority in the

BAD NEWS FROM THE ENGLISH ARMY
In AFGHANIsTAN.
AfEhans In the Khyber Pass-The AmeeI
Not Fugitive, and YacOOb Khan
Not Surrendered.


LONDON, Dec. 30.-The fears that affairs in
Afghanistan are not going SO well as was re-
ported were strengthened to-day by the re-
ception of dispatches from Calcutta. It Is
positively asserted in these dispatches, which
have been sent to commercial houses In Lon
don, that the reports respecting the flight Of
the Ameer. his abandonment of Cabul, the ap-
pearance of bis son Yacoob Khan at Jellala-
bad are untrue.
The dispatches state that the Ameer has
carried on systematic process OF deceptions
and has caused false reports concerning his
movements to be sent to British headQuar-
ters This ill-omened intelligence appears to
be confirmed by dispatch from Lahore to-
day, stating that q large force OF Afreedes at
tackled the British troops on Saturday In
Khyber Pass. Up to this time the dispatches
OF the viceroy, Lord LyttoD, and such
OF the newspaper correspondence dispatches
as were permitted to reach London
have reported that the Khyler Pass was
wholly free from the presence OF the enemy,
and that no danger to the British forces there
was to be apprehended. A dispatch from La
hor6 says that the Afreedes were repulsed
with severe loss. but their presence in the
pass and their attack on the British column
Is considered as an evidence OF resistance to
be overcome before the British forces can be
at oil secure during the winter months, Is
very great.

that the Gar desires nothing more than the

tions with England.

financial and commercial measures increases
and manifests itself In unexpected methods.
A great meeting Of the leaders engaged In

Gated by the Chancellor. 1t Ii thought proba-
ble that the police will receive instructions to
prevent this meeting from being held; but, In
that event. the leaders OF the opposition will
probably find means to make their opinions

of the stlte in pursuance of a resolve of the leg
isla'ure tp roved Feb. 8, 1877, Yesterday submit
ted to tAe legislature report upon the claims of
settlers under the treaty of Washington. 1t is a
lona thy and very able and exhaustive report We
give an abstract of the same.
An IN t0ricsl sketch is given of the successive
steps leading to the adoption Of the Treaty, going
back to the Treaty OF Pans IN 1888, by which
American Independence va, finally acknowledg ed
by Great Btit,in. and the northeastern boundary
Of the United States was agreed upon.
The vast wilderness between the Atlantic and
St. Lawrence al not then been surveyed nor

The Hurricane leland Case.

The House yesterday decided by a most en-
phatic vote, that the reasonable petition of the in
habitants Of Hurricane Island, that they may be
allowed to set up housekeeping on their own &C.
count and be incorporated into town, should be
granted. In doing this the majority have re-as
serted the good old republican doctrine that rep
re-entation should go along with taxation; thai
the man who has built up property of fifty thou
sand dollars in value from "desoate island il
the sea, T." employing hundreds of artizans and com
mon workmeu, paying out in six years more thar
two million of dollars for labor alone; building ~
an industrious, thriving, temperate and homes
community, should have the encouragement o
the State legislature, and hidden God speed. i
will be a sorry day for Maine when the legisla
tuyc turns the cold shoulder to such men a s Gen
Tllsou and the army of laboring men whom he
Lead and represents. And therefore the vote of
yesterday was more gratifying and significant ant
of greater Importance than it could have been re-
sarded by the public generally, or those not en-
uroly couvcrslnt with all the facts 10 the case.
At the opening of the debate yesterday, Mr..
