FOREIGN FOREBODINGS.
Feelings at the Legations In Washingt.
Significant Indications.

Feelings at the Legations In Washington
Significant Indications.
A correspondent at Washington says
Members of several European legations
here do not disguise their anxiety in regard
to the threatening aspect of affairs on the
European continent, as well as between
England and Russia in connection with
operations upon the frontiers of India. The
dispatches which the English government
allowed to be made public the other day
are looked upon as a means to excite the
English people against Russia and to
create support for the government in it's
eastern operations. 1t is reported here
that the English government now feels
confident that it will receive the popular
support for its Indian policy in case it be-
comes apparent that Russia intends to un-
dertake to check England's movements to
the north of India. 1t is believed that
Russia is attempting to form an alliance
with France for the double purpose of re-
straining both England and Germany
AS to the condition of France in case of
war the talk about the legations is to
the effect that, while dsclaiming any
desire for war, the most active and
energetic efforts have been put forth
for two years past to reorganize her
army and to collect ample stores of war
material of all kinds. In addition, the
work of completing the Notifications of
Paris has been pushed with vigor, and has
just been finished. Paris is now regarded
as impregnable. The collection Of war
material is still in progress. The question
upon which the decision for peace or for
war now mainly depends is declared here
to be whether war could be begun and
carried on without risking the life of the
republic. Those who now manage its
affairs are as yet fearful that a state of
war would be taken advantage of by in
ternal enemies Of the republic to over
throw it.
Among the indications of the approach
of trouble on the European continent it has
become known here that large sums are
now frequently being sent to this country
for investment, with the avowed purpose
of providing against the losses which might
attend the condition of general confusion
at home. These investments are reported
in number of instances to come from
men prominently connected with public
affairs, and in excellent position to
enable them to forecast the immediate
future with accuracy. Another signifi-
cant indication is found in the atten-
ton which several of the legations
are giving to the study of the condition
and prospective capacity of our private
arms companies to turn out rifles and
other ordnance stores. Incidental to this
general subject there is no expectation
at any of the legations here that a
firm stand taken by the United States in
the matter of the Interoceanic canal,
would lead to any trouble with any of
the European powers for the simple reason
that every nation there must, of necessity,
maintain friendly relations with the United

the Press correspondent letter has not
very harmful sting in it. But if there
has been any obstruction to justice, or
failure to punish crime hereabOutS, the
responsibility has been fixed long ago.
Mayor MacGonigle's protest against the
prostitution of justice to save . the best
workers in the ward = has been heard in
every corner of the state and is re-echOed
by hundreds OF thoughtful Repub 8 ;ans
who are not yet ready to hand every
branch of the city government over to
thOse,who barter in justice and who shame
the administration of the law by abusing
the machinery of the courts to save their
best Republican workers in the ward
UNDER the present districting of this
city it is almost impossible for the DEM
Ocrats to obtain a majority in either
branch of the city councils or to get con-
troll of any of the departments even
should they have large majority of the
popular vote in the city at large. Under
the American system of districting gov
| ernmental power 1t IS contemplated that
| the executive branch shall be check on
! the legislative to restrain and prevent
hasty ::and ill-consdered legislation and
the original executive is very inconsider-
! able cOntrasted with the veto privilege.
Experience has shown that with both
houses and the executive in control OF
the same party official responsibility rests
lightly, and no matter how crude or ILL
advised the legislation, its passage gen.
orally secures for it executive control.
| II is to the best interests of every muni.
cipality that if its councils are apt to be
strongly partisan on the one side its
mayor should be of different political
party. so that the intended system OF
checks and balances can be fully realized

An Inscriptions correspondent of the
Philadelphia Press writes to it from this
city about recent incendiarisms and
burglaries, and adds that "there is much
Indignation felt at the inefficiency to
suppress crime of the present Democratic
administration" InaSmuch as there
have been fewer arsons and burglaries in
Lancaster during the past two years
than in any period of the same length for
a long time previous, of course this tail to

{" FATE" "

TergivcrsatiOns of u " Dramatic E!itor.'
The dramatic editor - of the EraminCr
is kept uncOmmOnly busy in the discharge
of his widely diffused duties outside of the
department over which lie ostensibly pre-
sides. Ordinarily therefore lie is fain to
rely on the judgment of foreign critics in
his notices of theatrical performances i'm
this city and not infrequently the Ian
guage of his "critiques' strikes the ear
as the notes of familiar old
tune. A casual investigation of this
phenomenon not a great while ago revealed
the fact that the Eramner's dramatic
editor" had bodily appropriated a notice
kindly furnished by the agent of the COM
pany, which i'll the length of its Sen
tences, quality of its diction, and amount
of discretion pervading it, commended
itself to the highly cultivated judgment Of
the dramatic editor Occasionally,
however, our amiable young contemporary
finds time to write his own notices, and
sometimes with results most perplexing
to the general reader. Under the
caption of "an uninterestins play
poorly presented, the ''dramatic
editor - of the Examiner starts off in his
notice of BARLEY Campbelrs play OF
"Fate," as recently given here by the
Almayne comedy company, with the state
ment that it's plot is similar to that OF
EAST Lynne, but it possesses none OF
the merits of that piece. In the course of
his further remarks the s. dramatic editor
finds room to commend the play as
abounding in "goOd points which fur
nish opportunity for the display OF abil-
ity." Miss Nard Almayne. who played
the leading feminine role. the dramatic
editor thinks, was a triile too subdued,
while in the same breath we have
the statement that she has
some excellent ideas of acting" and the
" dramatic editor is completely carried
away by ''her taste in dress and the man
agement of her toilets" which :. showed
her graceful figure and pretty face to per-
fectiOn." The principal male actor was

harmony did not reign between the 'head-

AS Cameron and Grant have the dele
gates from Lancaster to the national con-
vention, who are certain to obey Cameron's
instructions rather than the instructions
of their constituents, the ring manipulators
of Lancaster city now agree to pass ward
resolutions unanimously in favor of Blaine,
to induce the anti-machine Republicans to
support Boring, the machine candidate for
mayor. 1t may work tolerably we'll on
paper, but how will it be on election day?

On the 11th inst, the hull of the burn
ing vessel Victaux, still ablaze, foated
against the pier occupied by the American
Export lumber company at Hunters Point.
The premises occupied by the company oc-
cupies both sides of Newtown Creek. At
the time the Nictaux came in contact with
the pier they were unloading there. "A
large number of vessels wers set fire i'm
mediately and communicated with the
lumber yard and spread in every direction
with lightning rapidity. From the
lumber yard the fire spread to the YES
sells and Notwithstanding the efforts
made by several tugs which
hastened to their assistance, six barges, one
schooner and one ship were. soon in flames.
Over ten acres of fire were at one time
raging wildly and beyond the control of
the tiremen Several burning vessels
were towed into the river and drifted with
the tide toward Blackwell's island, envel
oped in sheets of flame. The fire spread
in every direction and no estimate can be
formed as to its probable extent at present.
The scene from the river was one of indie
scribable grandeur, the flames rising in
every direction devouring everything in
their path. Fire alarms were sent to some
Williamsburg companies, and later,
general alarm was sent out calling all the
fire companies of the western division of the
Brook yn fire department to the place, in
to three Bassville companies, two
from Hunters Point, one from Dutch Hills,
and the Jackson hose company worked at
the fire.
