Probab,e rate of a steamer.

NEW YORK, April 5.-From inquiries made to-day there is good ground for the belief that the steamer Mercator, with her entire
 crew of thirty-three souls, has been lost at
 sea. The chief officer of the Valner, which
 arrived yesterday, says that his ship was en route where the Mercator should have been on March 26th, and ran into an immense ice foe during binding snow storm. This was in latitude A degrees and longitude AS de- grees. What is believed to have been the missing steamer was seen fast in the ice long distance off three days afterward. The barometer feli to IS degrees, an unprecedented ly low pressure. The storm which it indicated did not reach the Valner, but extended over the ice field. The opinion is held by seafarine men that the Mercator went down in the gale.

Responsibility of Elevated Railroads.
 NEW YORK, April 5.-The general term of the Superior Court to-day rendered their de- cision in the suit of Dr. Caro against the Metropolitan Elevated railroad, which is in effect a sweeping victory for the property holders. It will be remembered that Dr. Caro sued as representative of other prop erty holders on Fifty-third street to recover damages for injuries to the property of plaintiff caused by the building of the road. The importance of the issues involved had not been overlooked, and the public, and par ticularly the stockholders of the company, have looked forward to the result with great deal of anxiety. The case came before the court on the report of the referee sustaining the demurrer to the complaint on the ground that it does not set forth facts sufficient to constitute cause of action. The opinion of the judges is that the appellant is entitled to relief and that the judgment should be re- versed with costs.

GladstOnc's Tfiumph-Elected After a
 Most Exciting Contest.
 SCARBOROUGH, April 5.-After a most ex- citing contest, in which every vote on both sides has been brought to the polls, Right Hon. W. B. Gladstone has been returned for the precinct legally known as Edinburgh county, otherwise as Edinburghshire or Mid lothian. At the last general election in this precinct only 2,69s votes went to the polls, and the election result ed in the return of the Earl of DaIkeiIh, who is the son and heir of the Duke of Buccleuch. who is the owner of nearly the whole of Midlothian and the patron of twelve liv1ngs. The Earl of Dalkeith is forty. nine years of age and popular among the tenants of his father, far more so indeed than the old Duke ever was. But the magic of Gladstone's eloquence won the latter. MT.

General Burt, city postmaster, blew the build ing up, acting on general orders from the chief engineer. The court below decided against the claim on the ground that the act was not done in accordance with the statute, and though it saved greater destruction of prop srty, including the new city postofice, plaintiff could not recover. This court held that ss there was no common law remedy the State statute was only conditional benefit confer red in certain cases. and plaintiffs not being one he could not claim damages.

The Demand for Higher Wages

: NEW YORK, April 5.-An tho bricklayers who had not heretofore made demand for an advance of fifty cents to the present rate of wages, which is $2 50 per day, did so to- day and met with very little opposition. Most of the ''boss masons" yielded at once, and the men are confident that the few who have resisted the demands will yield in day or two.
 The tile layers and ship joiners also de- manded from 25 to 50 cents more psr day, and it WAS generally granted them.
 The strike at the Higgins carpet factory is over. Last week the hands, numbering 1,6O0, most of them girls, struck for an ad- vance of 9 per cent. and no overwork. The firm compromised the matter by giving them an advance of ten per cent. and disoontinu- ing night work.

The places above mentioned have had in the last Parliament joint Conservative majority of sixteen, and they have only to hold their own to reduce by that number the present Liberal majority in the kingdom. It is further anticipated that several seats in Ire- land may yet be retained by the Conserva- lives on account of Parnell's action in forcing ultra Home Rule candidates in several bor- oughs and towns where moderate Home Rule or Liberal candidates had been fa7orably re- ceived by the people.

An ObHoxiens Italian Measure.
 LONDON, April 5.-A dispatch from Rome says the announcement of 8 new measure of taxation, or rather the application of an old one, has caused considerable murmuring among travellers, and especially foreign bank CTS. It is announced that hereafter the circu- lar notes which ara so generally used by Eng glish and American travellers must, before be- ing cashed by banker here, be taken to the stamp effice to be stamped and small tax is levied. The carrying of the document to the office will cost some ten times the amount of tax. It will be hard measure to enforce, as some bankers pur- pose cashing the notes in question as hith- erto and absolutely ignoring the required for mality. If called upon to show their books they will decline to comply, there being no existing law to make such refusal illegal. It will be necessary, however, that holders of executive notes should bring them to be cashed by the banker named in his English or American bankers letter, not, as has hereto fore been common, by any money changer, seeing that the former will simply draw on London or New York for the amount without saying anything to anybody, whereas the lat ter must get rid of the bill by some means which might perhaps enable the revenue off, cers to catch it in transitu.
