JAPAN.
Resisting Quarantine Against Cholera
Grant Mt TOXIC.


YOKOHAMA, July 17.-There is consider
able excitement in consequence of the
British Minister'S interference with the
Japan quarantine regulations. Cholera
prevails in the southern ports and there is
q strict quarantine in Yokohama. The U.
S. Minister issued an order of instructions
for the compliance of Americans, but the
British Minister denied the right of the
Japanese, on account of extra jurisdiction,
and declared that any English ships that
should break the quarantine would be
protected in doing SO by a British man-of-
war. Owing to indignant remonstrances
in influential circles, especially from Gov.
Hennesey, of Hong Kong, the British Min
lister modified his attitude and consented
to cooperate with the Japanese Govern
ment, but still asserts his right to break
quarantine at any place. The German
Minister supports him. All other diplo-
matte representatives are indifferent, ex-
cept the Russian, who sides with the
American.
The Grant reception in Toxic was un-
precedented in Japanese history. In adj
dition to the government demonstrations
the citizens have given lavish entertain
ments on sumptuous scale. Every day
and night there are fresh novelties for his
diversion. He had an audience with the
Emperor on July 4th, and His Majesty
alluded happily to the coincidence of dates.
English officers persistently keep aloof
from Grant and decline to give salutes.
This occasions much comment, as il is
distinctly known that Grant Is keenly
sensitive to sights.

THE USUAL RESULTS
From KindlInE Fire with Kerosene.

ALTOONA. August 2.-The fire depart
ment was called out this morning, in re-
sponse to an alarm of fire, and proceeded
to No. 1914 Fourteenth Avenue, of this
city, where was witnessed one of the
most horrible and heart-rending SIGHTS
that has ever been seen in Altoona. Mrs.
Maggie Newton, woman of twenty-three
years, was attempting to make the fire
burn faster by an application of coal oil
from can, when an explosion occurred.
and she was Immediately shrouded in
flames. She ran franticaliy to the closed
door to open it and get out, and was
burned to black crisp, with both hands
on the door knob. Life was extinguished
instantaneously. Nothing was left on her
person except her shoes. Her ewes were
burned out of her head. Airs. Newton's
parents reside in New Castle, Pa. She
leaves a husband and one child. Tie
child was sitting on the stairsteps with the
door closed, about two feet away from it's
mother, crying toget down. Mr.. Newton,
the husband, is a sewing machine agent

FRANCE.
uNvE1I1Ne OF THEIRS noNUMENr.


NANCY, August 3.-An enormous crowd
was present to-day at the unveiling of the
statue of ex-President Theirs. De Mar
cere, Minister of the Interior, declared in
his speech that the government was re-
solved to remain true to the noble ideas of
Th1ers, viz: a conservative republic,
guarding the national traditions and just
influence of France, in Europe and in the
whole world.
Jules Simon dwelt upon the frmness OF
Theirs in resisting even his own party
when his liberal conservative convictions
were touched. Simon concluded by say
ing that France is saved. She possesses a
Republican government, and liberty to
think, teach and write. She has issued
from combat. 1t is necessary for her
to vanquish her enemies or to reassure
them that the definitive form OF the revo-
luton of 1870 is conservative liberal re-
public, such as NJ Thiers created.
Martel, President of the Senate, also
spoke a speech of Simon, interesting as
iustifying his resistance to Jules Ferry's
educational policy by pointing to the ex-
ample OF Thiers. Simon had been accus-
ed by the Gambettlsts of intending to make
bid for the premiership at the Nancy
demonstration.

noisome and pestilent. It is true that the
running water can and does clear itself
rapidly of these Impurities, but our pres
ent arrangement is such that we collect
and save them for our use through hout the
year. In other words, we pump into the
basins of the Water Works during each of
these periods of impurity, several tons of
solid filth, and allow this collective mass
to tester and bubble at the bottom of the
reservoirs from one annual cleaning to an
other.
We have no desire to disgust readers
with any description of the contamina-
ton resulting from the present plan.
Most of those who have taken the trouble
to look into the matter have supplied
themselves with filtering apparatus of.
their own, and others will doubtless fol-
low their example. The point to be con-
sidered, is whether system could not be
devised by which the city water could be
filtered and purified beforeit distributed,
or better still, before it is even pumped
into the distributing reservoirs. That
such an arrangement could he made seems
to be the opinion of good many practical
people who have given the subject consid
Grafton. City Surveyor Peterson thinks it
could be secured at comparatively little ex=
pense. His plan proposes the sinking of a
oflarge tubes through the
permanent sand bar opposite the present
water works, and taking up the sand FL
tered water through minute perforations
in the sides of these tubes, by means of
a connecting main and pumps such as are
now used. The plan has the advantage of
a practical test, several of the large brew
cries and other factories requiring pure
water having adopted it, and it is thought
that its efficiency could be shown here at
anexpense of very few dollars.
Doubtless there are other plans that
would serve the purpose. The matter to
be settled is whether Council is disposed
% look into any of them or whether We

would have accepted six months ago. The
Roane Iron Company of this city have
booked orders ahead for several months,
covering their full capacity of both steel
and iron railroad bars. Both these pro-
ducts are having a stiff market with a
tendency to advance.
The nail market here is worked by an ex-

to the factories on account of the cutting of
prices by the Wheeling and Pittsburgh
mills to point below a good sale for bar
iron. That feature is, however, improv-

stricted capacity, will do fairly well on the

THE Springfield (Mass.) Rpttblican says
that along the coast in that nefghborhood
people are spending the season away from
home this year at rates which have not
been equaled in cheapness for many
wears. Families live on the beach in cot
taees, tents, and more or less cooperative
arrangements, nearly as cheap as they can
live at houe. Shirley Dare makes some
calculations, of cheapness in the New York
Tribune. which show how this may be ac-
complished. She says thatseyery intelll-
gent housekeeper knows that the cost OF
food for each member of her family per
week in the city where everything must
be bought does not exceed 81, and that
