THE ANGLo-TURKIsH TREATY.
LONDON, July 9.-The scene in the House
of Commons yesterday, when the Home
Secretary confirmed the statement that En-
gland had assumed the protectorate of
Asiatic Turkey, was highly exciting. The
House was crowded with the members.
The diplomatic gallery was filled. The
Home Secretary spoke with unusual clear
ness and deliberation. The treaty, he said,
had nothing to do with the questions that
have been or are to be discussed at Berlin.
1t may be communicated to the Congress as
a matter of courtesy but no representa-
tions concerning it or a modification of its
provisions will be listened to. The treaty
has been signed and sealed, and goes into
instant operation. A copy of it will be laid
upon the table of the House in due season.
The Home Secretary closed his remarks
amid loud cheering by saying that the pro-
visions of the treaty will be found well cal
culated to preserve and forward the best
and highest interests of England and Tur-
key. The exultation OF the conservatives
is great.
1t is understood that the seven thousand
Indian troops now at Malta are to proceed
forthwith to Cyprus. Sir Garnet Woolsey
is to be made Governor of the Island.

The Chicago Daily News in writing
up the Deakin Liliputian opera troupe,
has this to say of Miss Ella Kirkland, one
of the members, who has many warm
friends in our village:

thirty-six inches in height, and tipping
the scales at fifty-One pounds. She be-

at an early age Miss Ella was stage struck

could satisfy her but to make her de-

a bell i'm fact, but 1t is to be hoped that
no operatic heart-burnings will ensue on
this account, and that no ROse-Kellogg
squabble will arise as to- which is the
smaller OF the two.
A funny story is told of this little
voman. 1t seems that when first on ex-
hibitiUn she attracted SO much adfnira-
tiOn from the audience that her manager
begged her to. say something original

The National Banks.

A special dispatch to the Post and Tri-
bune from Washington says: "HOn. j..
L. Langworthy, Deputy C0mptrOllef Of
the currency, has, in the absence OF
Comptroller Knox, compiled from the
quarterly sta:emnnts of the national
banks of the United States an abstract
showing their condition ut the close busi-
ness on the last day of June. The report
SHOWS that there are now i'm active busi-
ness 2,Q56 national banks, a decrease of
three since the last statement was issued,
and decrease OF % from the correspond
ing period last year.
COmpared with the quarterly state
ment compiled from the condition of
banks at the close of business OH the 18th
of March las. it appears that the loans
and discounts are reduced over $4,000
600 i'm the the three months and half
intervening, while the aggregate of dep
osits is increased more than that amo mt.
This decrease of laaiis and increase of de-
posits, Mr.. LangwOrthy thinks. indicates
u revival of business.
During the three Eonths past the ma
| tional bank circulation was increased
over $4,t0O,06O, while the amount oil
specie in the vaults OF the banks was re-
duoetl from S54, ~, ,058F OF to $29, 9,25l, ,469
~.
The capital stock of the national banks
has been reduced over $3,5O0,000 during
the last three months, and more thai
$11, 100000 in the past year. This is be-
cause of the burden Of taxation, rs it hg
become pretty well understood that Con
gress will not consent to the abolish
ment or even reduction of the tax OF
capital and deposits"

Dedication of the Chippewa County
Court House.

The dedication of the new court house
of Chippewa county. of which announce
ment has been made i'm the various
papers of the ctate, duly took place last
Saturday afternoon at half-pase two.
The exercises were held in the court
room of the building, and the attendance
was far beyond its capacity to accommo
date, All the tourists stopping in the
place honored the occasion with their
presence, and quite delegation came
from Sault Ste. Marie, in Canada. The
progr imme was not long, and consisted
of a very appropriate Introductory
speech by the chairman, Mr.. II. w. Sey-
mour, followed by an Grafton from j.
Logan Chipman, of Detroit. The speak
er gave brief summary of the historical
events of that region, tracing it through
its vicissitudes under the flags of four
nations, from the time when the black
robed Jesuits first landed below the rap
ids two hundred and sixty years ago,
down to the rearing OF the edihce III
favor of which he spoke. The addresses
were both highly interesting and were
listened to with unusual attention; All
present being pleased with the exercises.
The building in its completed state is a
handsome and substantial structure, and
from IFS elevated position can be seen for
several miles up and down the st. Mary's
river. 1t is built of dressed limestone
from Drummond's island, with Marquette
brown stone finish. 1t has slate roof
a clock i'm the dome, furnace in the
basement, and would be a credit to any
of the older and wealthier counties of the
state. On Monday Judge Goodwin a
once proceeded to utilize it by holding
his court there,

Grain Weighing.

There is some mystery connected with
grain weighing that is past finding out.
Wing it is that some cargoes over-run
and others fall short, when carefully
weighed in and as carefully, apparently,
out, is something that vessel men would
like to know. The following vessels
from Chicago to Goderichs recently un-
loaded at chat port with the following
results: Schooners Homer, "a bushels
over; L. w. Clifford, 63 bushels over; L.
A. Burton, 81 bushels over; Grace Muir.
ray, 20 bushels short; s. Anderson SO
bushels short. There has been a great
deal of complainG on the part OF grain
carriers this season on account of the
great shortage. Freights have been sc
low that there was nothing in the carry
ing. and when compelled to pay heavy
shortage it made it very hard on all in
terested in the vessel.
