On Tuesday, the ooh ee shIs s.nntb,
Napier & Sons Of Glasgow launched
their first Pacific steamship, which Is
built Of steel. The dimensions are 800
feet long, 40 feet wide and 28 feet inch
es deep. This vessel Is described as of a
peculiar and special design, the main
deck being open all around and clear of
cattle, fruit, ETC., from one point to an
other long the west coast of South Amer
lea. Above this deck, carried on iron
pillars, Is another deck, on which are
placed a row of cabins the whole length
Of the ship. There will be acoommoda-
tons for one hundred passengers, and
this steamer will be fitted with COM
po, n engii Q, of 1000 horse power. The
tonnage and also the cost Of this steamer
are not mentioned In the London jour-
nal from which we take the above fig
ures. Yet without accurate informati on
on these points, it is impossible to de-
termine how far, if at all the Clyde ship
builders can successfully compete with
those on the Delaware in building great
steamers for the trade III The Pacific
Hitherto the construction of such has
been confined to ''Our own romantic riv-
er." BY the way, 1t may here be added
that the Institution OF Mechanical En-
gineers Ia Glasgow came to . conclusion
at the above launch that before long en-
gineers will be building crank shafts of
one hundred toms weight; the expected
result beirg that steamer will leave
In Canada or the United States at the
end of it, this being literally from the
pier or quay of one port to the pier or
quay of the other, which is the fair way
of measuring the distance traversed and
the time in doing it. 3

Blue Law. In Baltimore,

BALTIMoRE, Aug. 19.-The action of
the police authorities in enforcing a
strict observance of the Sunday laws
recently has excited extraordinary in
terest in the community. A society
composed principally of Germans was or
ganized recently having for its object
0stensibly the enforcing of the law
against all classes of viOlators, but its
real object as generally understood was to
render it obnoxious and secure its
modification at the coming session of
the Legislature. II has recently been
intimated that the authorities proposed
to prevent all work in the newspaper
Office on Sunday. Apprehending a pos.
sible Interference with the publication
of the paper, its proprietor announces
editorially tomorrow his intention of
conforming strictly to the law by closing
the establishment from twelve O'Clock
Saturday night until twelve o'clock Sum
day night. This announcement, which
will be made public tomorrow, will
doubtless intensity public opinion on
the subject, which, as stated, is already
very much exercised. The proprietor
of the Gazette, in thus conforming to
the law, assumes that the other daily
and Sunday newspaper proprietOrs will
be compelled to do likewise. The Ga
zette will of course appear on Monday
morning, as usual, but no work will be
allowed any time on Sunday.

Trouble Ahead In Utah.

AS TO AN IMPENDING CONFLICT OF
RACES. " ,'+t - it..'"f
WARRINGTON, Aug. 19..-The state
of affairs in Utah as reported 70 the
Government is serious, and an open rue.
tnre, ending perhaps in bloodshad;, may
occur at any moment. 1t is not believed
that the Morfnons will make any forci-
BILE resistance to the Federal authority:
the trouble, if any occurs, it is thought
will be between the Gentle and Nor
mon populace. The actions Of judge
Boreman do not meet with the approval
of the Administration. His imprison-
ment Of Bishop Caanon,. the Mormon
delegate in Congress, and his two associ-
ate executors Of the will Of Brigham
Young, is believed to be Illegal ana un-
justifiable, and an investigation will at
once be made of all grievances presented
by both sides. While the Government
has no sympathy with the Mormohs In
their attempts to sustain their peculiar
institution of poligamy, it is determined
to accord them the same protection as
every American citizen is entitled to.
