An Attempt to Destroy an Ocean
Palace.

NHw YoRK, October 1.-THE police
have been informed that an attempt
was made on Sunday evening to burn
the Cunard steamer Bothnea. The
chief steward saya "The first
l knew Of it Was when

Second Officer. Stevens, and with his
help and that OF some OF my own men,
l started to fold up the runners. As
soon as l did, the carpets, in conse-
quence OF friction presume,
Immediately burst ont in q
blaze and We threw them on the dock.
As they continued to burn and there
was imminent danger OF the wharf and
other property catching fire, We threw
the burning carpets into the water,
where they continued to blaze
until in fear OF the ship
being burned We sunk. Four
bottles smelling OF PHOSPHORUS
and gasoline were found near the loca
ton OF the fire. Two visitors to the ship
are suspected, and the police are looking
for them. What connection the affair
may have with the present troubles in
Ireland is not now known.

SENATOR THURhIAN's RE-
TURN.
Time Required for Bringing
About Uniform Money Values.

NEW YoRk, October II. - Senator
Thurman. one OF the United States
Commissioners 10 the recent Monetary
Conference in Geneva, who has just re-
turned from Europe, said yesterday to
reporter in the Fifth Avenue Hotel: 81
had a pleasant sojourn abroad and an
opportunity to see a good deal OF Eu-
rope, but l found no country l liked as

"Where were you when you heard of
the assassination OF President Garfield?"
"In Paris, and the excitement it seems
to me could hardly have been greater
in this country. Everywhere l went l
heard expressions of the deepest SYM
pathy. Iwas in Glasgow when heard
Of;his death, and the feeling OF sorrow
was universal and heartfelt"
"Do you think the assassination has
injured at ell the cause of Republican
ism abroaS?"
"Not at all. No one associated it with
politics"
"Have you watched the progress of
political events in this country during
your absence?"
81 have given no attention whatever
to politics"
"What seemed to be the opinion
abroad OF the fitness OF General Arthur
to be the successor of General Gar.
held?"
ale was an unknown man, and no
opinion could be generally formed in
the matter. Many inquired of me as to
his antecedent history"
"What do you think will be the effect
of the Monetary ConferenCe?"
81 think that the proceedings and de-
bates OF the Monetary Conference have
produced considerable effect upon the
minds OF those who in Europe have
given attention to monetary science, and
that the tendency of public opinion
there is toward the views entertained in
America-that is, toward rehabilita.
ton of silver and fixing by convention
or statutory enaCtments uniform ratio
between the two metals. That the tluc
tuations of value between these metals
is productive OF serious evils seems
to be generally admitted, and that
remedy, ought, il possible, to be discov.
covered and applied vas not denied.
IIiS Va tbO
some pains had been taken to spread
the impression that the United States
advocated bimetalism in order to OBJ.
tain market for their silver and Tor no
other purpose; but the facts laid before
the Conference and the speeches OF the
American delegates completely dispell-
ed that error"
"Do you think that the uniform in.
ternational money system is likely to
be establishedp"
"It will take time to bring about an
understanding among the nations on
the monetary question-how long no
one can safely predict-but it is proba-
Bile that it will be brought about. Mean.
time the United States suffer as little, if
not less than any other nation from the
existing arrangement"
