AN OWL Is the best watchdog. A thief broke
into shop In Providence recently, and looked
about TO see what he could steal. Suddenly an
owl which Is Gagged by day but Is set at liberty
after sunset pounced upon the intruder and
frightened him out Of his senses. SO savage
was the attack that he retreated In extreme dis
order, leaving his hat and jimmy behind him.
When the storekeeper opened the shop the next
morning he found blood stains on the floor and
desk. The owls feathers were ruflled and its
claws were red with blood

POLITICAL.
The Outlook in Maine,

New York, Aug. 27.-Daniel F.
Davis, republican candidate for gov
ernor of Maine, has been giving his
views on the result Of the forthcoming
election in that state to the Boston
Herald. He is reported as saying that
he feels sure of election by the people.
He has correspondents in over one hum
dred town and cities, with whom he
keeps communication while he is going
about the state making speeches, and
they all send him information of green
hackers returning to the republican
fold. He expresses the opinion that
the democrats will, during the last
week of the campaign abandon the idea
of electing Smith, the greenback can
didate, by the people, which is their
present intention, and will give Garce-
lon nearly as large vote as last year,
while Smiths vote will fall much below
what it was last year.

Yokohama, Aug. 13.-The breaking
of quarantine by the German merchant
ships, continues to be an exciting topic.
The correspondence between the Ger
man envoy the Japanese foreign min
lister has been published. The Japan.
ese officer takes the position that in
time Of great public danger that sani-
tary regulations must be imperatively
enforced and controlled by the govern
ment alone. TIE German official holds
that under the extra territorial system
Japan can impose no rules, no matter
what the emergency, except with the
consent and cooperation of foreign
representatives. While he strongly de-
fends his act of bringing the ship from
the infected port through the barriers,
the Japanese minister protests in way
requiring immediate notice from Ger
many.

Gen. Grants Movements

Gen. Grant returned to the capital
since the last dispatch, and started on
new excursion to Kamakura, the
ancient seat of the military government,
and neighbornood. He Is now In the
mountain range Of Hakone.
During his stay at Toxic he was WIS.,
tied by the mikado, who consulted him
on many important points of interna-
tional policy and to some extent domes-
tic policy. The confidence and reliance
manifested by the government and peo-
pie is unprecedented.
Grant returns to Toxic on the 10th
of August, exchanges series Of formal
visits and sails for America by the next
mail.
A movement is in progress for the
formation of new society, having in
view the extension of protecting In
fluence for eastern nations against the
perpetual aggressions of European
powers. The organization will doubt.
less be completed before the departure
of Grant, who has consented to sup
port it warmly and actively.

A Valued Man Dead


London, Aug. 27.-Sir Rowland Hill
died at half past four this morning,
aged 81.
Sir Rowland Hill, K. c. B., D. C. L.,
and F. r. s. author of the penny postal
system of England, was the son of a
schoolmaster at Birmingham, In which
place he was born in 1895. In 1885 he
was appointed secretary to the engi-
neers for the colonization Of South
Australia, and two years afterwards he
published a pamphlet developing his
postal system. In the following year a
committee of the house of commons
recommended its adoption, but it was
not till 1910 that his system was carried
into effect, Hill being appointed by the
government to superintend 1t. In 1e46
he was rewarded by a public testimo-
NAL to the value of about 100000. In
1943 he was made manager Of the Lon
don & Brighton railroad company. In
1916 he was appointed secretary to the
postmaster general, and in 1854 was
promoted to the rank of chief secretary.
In March, 1864, he retired from this
position, and the government, declar-
ing the entire success Of his plans,
awarded him for life his full salary Of
$4,000 year, and parliamentary
grant of 100000, accompanied by a
medal Of the Society of Arts, and the
degree of D. c. L. in the University of
Oxford.

Detroit, Aug. 27.-Harry Ball, of
this city, won the junior single scull
race to-day; time 17:25. The Monahan
brothers, of Albany, won the junior
double scull race; time 14:3S. The
German brothers, of Albany, won the
pair oars race; time 1880. All the
above races were for mile and return.
The most exciting event was the mile
and half straight away four-oared
race, for which the Shoewaccaemettes,
Excelsiors of Detroit, Michigans and
Wyandottes. The race was principally
between the two former crews, and was
won by the Excelsiors by half length,
but owing to the Wyandottes fouling
the Showaccaemettes it was decided
that the "Shoes" and Excelsior's should
pull the race over again tomorrow
morning.

CHINA AND JAPAN.
The Missionary Case.

&AS hAiooiSdaty ShbC.
San Francisco, Aug. 27.-The steam
ship Oceanic, from Hong Kong August
/, via Yokohama, brings news that the
missionary case, which for the past
year attracted much attention, has
been finally decided by the British
court at Shanghai. The missionaries
complained of an alleged outrage by a
mob near Foo Chow, declaring that
their property was wantonly destroyed
and their premises invaded. The
Chinese claimed that the missionaries
had aggressively encroached upon the
native temple grounds until the popu-
lace were aroused to violent measures.
The Chinese confidently submitted the
case to the English tribunal. The re-
suit was complete vindication for
them and the overthrow of the whole
missionary position. The suit is con-
sidered important, as establishing pre-
cedents for numerous similar affairs.

Dixon's Assassination.

New York, Aug. 27.-The Times
prints two column statement of Frank
Dixon, brother of Yazoo, the victim,
giving the origin and details of the
difficulty, which he offered to corrob-
crate under oath. He said there was
not the least doubt in his mind that his
brother was murdered by order of the
democratic committee. and he knows
that the chairman of that committee
planned the assassination. Barksdale
proved willing tool, and was selected
to commit the deed. Had he refused
or failed there were forty or fifty others
who would have done 1t. He says fur
ther, that other plans of assassination
had been made, but none had proved
succassful

Cambridge, Ohio, Aug. H.-At the
soldiers reunion to-day Gen. Ewing
denounced the state rights theory. He
blamed the south for its radical views
upon 1t, in which they held the right to
secede, and the north for its extreme
opposition. which led them to some
acts unauthorized by the constitution,
and which tended to excite the south.
The war he believed settled the Ques-
tion, and he did not believe there are
q thousand sane men in the country
who believed in the state right of Sc
cession.

As to Ger. Grant.

New York, Aug. 27.-The Herald,
which seems to have taken charge of
Grant, prints nearly two solid pages of
interviews of prominent men as to
whether Grant will accept another
nomination; all his friends represented
believing he will not. The Herald
pretends to have known all about
Grants intention to accept the presi-
dency Of the Nicaraguan canal COM
pany, and says telegram received by
Ammen on the 7th, contained only two
words: 81 approve" and what he ap-
proved could only be known to Am
men, inasmuch as the reply was an
Endorsement Of letter sent to Giant
shortly after Ammen's return from the
Paris congress.

SPORT.
Hanlan,s Uitimatum.

New York, Aug. PA Toronto
special states that Hanlan, in speaking
at st. Thomas last night, said he would
row any man in the world on Toronto
bay, stalking $4,000 to $4,000, and
allowing 81, 900 for expenses. He will
not row a race elsewhere except for
very large stakes. The reason alleged
is because Toronto has befriended him,
and he thinks that town should have
the benefit Of the circulation of money.
Bedford, Basin, n. s., Aug. 27.-The
Ross-Smith race was again postponed,
owing to breeze.
