TIE INTEROOEANIO CANAL.

to Washington. and his exposition before the
House committee OF his interoceanic canal
project has intensified public interest not
only In the matter OF the special canal In
which he Is Interested but In all the various
projects for connecting the two oceans, and
has also brought out most Enthusiastically an
expression Of national sentiment In regard to
the NJ 1nroe doctrine.

Encouraged by the late successes 81 the
Conservative party In Liverpool and London,
Lord Beaconstield has determined to dissolve
the present Parliament, the longest one that
England has known this century. about Eas-
Ter, and appeal to the country, by ordering
new election. This general election will pc
ordered st an early date, as Parliament Is ex-
pected to be In session again In May. Az to
the result 1t is, Of course. impossible to pre-
dict with anything like certainty. 1t was
generally believed, a short time ago, that the
conflicts into which Beaconsiield had plunged
Great Britain In Af9hanistan, Zuluiand and
the Transvaal, had brought 1t into popular
disfaror, and would result In an overwheim-
Inc defeat, but late parliamentary elections
would seem to show that the popular senti-
ment is that Beconstield's aggressive foreign
policy should have an opportunity OF vindi-
eating itself, and not be condemned prema-
tureiy. In the coming canvass the Irish
question will play as important, If not more
important part than the Afghan var. Both
PARTIES hope to gain by 1t; the Liberals by OBJ

The refueal OF the French government to
surrender the Nihilist Hartmann threatens to
destroy the friendly feelings that have lately
grown up between Ruesia and France For
ncme time past an offensive and defensive al
lance between these two powers has been
spoken OF, and France has undoubtedly
locked forward to the day when. backed by
the double-he&ded eagle Of the Romanoffs,
she could enjoy that long deferred revenge on
Germany FOR the disasters that followed Sc
dan. All this ia changed now by the unlucky
episode or Hartmann. The Russians are evil

Germans, and Il is impossible for them TO be

the refusal to surrender Hartmann as an in
Sensational discourtcsy. II not insult, unless

viii be impossible to show this. Indeed, the
French government has admitted that Hart
mann was the man wanted BY the Gear by
shipping him to England. The action OF the
French government Ia alternating the friend

and influence or the Radical Republicans
who regard the Russian Nihilist as friend
and a brother.

The colored Republicans OF the Virginia
Legislature are called upon to explain very
sudden change OF base. Peter j. Carter, q
leading colored politician OF the State, says
under oath that at conference ut which all
the colored members Of the Legislature were
present except one, 1t was agreed to support
Hamilton's bill for the settlement OF the
State debt, which preserved the principal OF
the debt and reduced the interest to per
cent. When vote was reached In the House
OF Delegates Hamilton was the only negro
member who voted for his bill, the others
supporting the Readjusters' measure. known
as the Riddlebarger bill. Carter wants an
explanation Of this very singular proceeding,
and SO does Hamilton. They naturally are
curious to know what worked such q sudden
change OF sentiment

The Repubti1te Francaise, dambetta's or

two other lending races OF civilized Europe
the English and the Germans were making
up for this deficiency Instead OF this being
the case. It is found that the Germans have
fallen from 20 per cent In 1889 to 1G per cent
to-day. and that the English have barely
maintained their original position, i21lI per

It will be remembered that Horace Creole,

1t will be remembered that Horace Greeley
died In 1872, between the time presidential
electors were chosen and the day upon which
they were required to cast their votes. How
to vote became then matter OF discretion
with the electors chosen on the Greeley ticket.
The Greeley ticket prevailed In six States
with sixty-six votes In all. Three given for
Greeley were not counted for the reason that
he (having died) was not q ''person" by the
terms Of the constitution. or the sixty-tnree
votes counted for the Democrats Nj. Hem
