Mr.. JOHN WALTERS, proprietor of the
London Times, and member of parlia-
ment, lis again in. this country, and of course.
has been interviewed, In speaking Of the
English form Of government he said it was
almost republican, except in certain things
which he believed HAD their advantages
the crown, for instance, exercises an ex-
cellent check on the designs Of ambitious
and grasping men, the fact that there is
being SO exalted as to be beyond the reach
of politicians. "A great advantage of the
English system" he said, lis the perma-
nent character of our civil service-the
fact that we.have that vast body of thor
oughly trained civil officers free from all
party affiliations, in whose hands the prac-
teal working Of the state machine rests. 1t
acts in steadying influence, and If il. does
so in an old country full of traditions and
respect for rank how much more beneficial
would it not be in nav country like the
United States" Mr.. Walter thought the
worst feature of our system, though it has
many advantages, is the frequency Of cleo
tons, which are fought with great evils.
He believed it is only question of time
when that will be improved. however, and
the presidents term, for instance, extended
for seven years.

ranks by the coercion act since the last conven-
ton. He said, for every ten imprisoned 1lO

resolutions and said the question OF self gov

questions in regard to rent remain in dispute.
The land act left the rent question as contin-
ual source Of discomfort and strife between diff

this was designedly SO arranged by the British
government He warned the farmers not to
trust to the land act It was, he said, designed
to break the league. Nobody should appeal to
land courts until test cases to be prepared by
the league had been submitted. They should
press forward to abolish landlordism and Sc

to tho most radical wing Of the anti slav-

their advocacy of female suffrage, and for
years past have refused to pay taxes on
their property in Worcester, because wo-
men were denied the ballot. Mr.. Foster

Great Storm at Duluth.

The severest storm that has visited Duluth
ragged on Friday last At nine o'clock the wind
came from the northeast at a velocity of II
miles an hour. The lake, dashed into wild
and furious storm, dashed madly against elevator
A, and sprapg clear over both light houses at
the entrance to the canal. The old light house
on the north pier, after swaying for some time
under the repeated buffetings Of the angry
waves, at last toppled over and fell into the Ca
nal It has not been used for some years. The
waves burst in on elevator A, and swept away
the oil house, but did not do very much
other damage. Nine cars loaded with -four,
standing on the track near this elevator. were
somewhat damaged, but it is thought most of the
flour will be saved. a couple Of cars were
blown over and washed from the track by the
combined force of wind and water. The
water rushed through almost every
house on Minnesota point, carrying away in
it's hurryixg streams, tables, chairs and other
household utensils. So far no one is reported
injured. Considerable damage was done,
which is not yet estimated, and many exciting
incidents occurred. The oldest residents never
Witnessed such grand exhibition Of the power
of wind and waves.

IA STRANGE MURDER.
a Bohemian Boy Of Sixteen Shoots ana Kills
Young Lady Without Cause.


Young Lady Without Cause.
a shocking tragedy happened at Money
reek, in the town Of Wiscoy, about eighteen.
miles from Winona, in Winona county, on the
evening Of the 18th. It was about o'clock
and quite dark, when Miss Anna Martin,
daughter Of Mr. George Martin, was going
home with two other young lady friends from q
neighbours. Suddenly one of them exclaimed.
there's q man in the road!' =, At the same in
slant shot was fred, and Miss Martin fell
mortally wounded She expired in a few min
:ntes. The assassin fled. He was seen to iump
over the fence and escape in the darkness. The
ladies' e, we're mortified beyond description, but
quickly summoned aid and the lifeless form of
nclr companion was carried to the house.
Search was made for The murderer.
and the next morning boy named Jacob
Brucks was arrested. and finally confessed that
he had done the deed. 10 one Of the officers
who asked him why he did the shooting he re-
Piled that his father had been in Jail and said
It was q good place and he wanted to try ittoo.
The victim was an engaging young lady about
nineteen years of age. Her sudden and shock
ing death has plunged the family and commu
Mty into deep grief, and the feeling ran so high
that but for the promptness of the officers in
brlrg lng the boy to jail he would very probably

change though he was removed, at his own re-
quest, from his bed to an extension chair, on
which he remained ha9f an hour. and was less
inclined to drawbacks during the day than
usual The chair was placed in a commanding
view. tof the ocean, and the president enioyed
the change very much.
On Wednesday, 14th, the president, neither
gained nor lost ground. He took his food with
relish, and sat up in g chair, but his pulse ran
up to q high point, and thelung difficulty con-
4anues stubborn. The doctors maintain their
disposition, in the face of constantly recurring
dlscouraging seatures.
On the 4 9th, the attending doctors admitted
for the first time that the president is suffering
from py@mia or blood poisoning, and that Il
Will take five weeks to recover from its effects.

MISS JEWhTr, OF Minnesota, was de-
feated again at Chicago in contest with
Miss Cook, of California. Miss Jewett, as
at Minneapolis, was unfortunate in her
horses. Ifthese equestrienne contests are
to be continued the mileage should be
shortened. A run Of twenty miles, with
eight or ten changes Of horses, is too ex-
hausting to the contestants. Five or ten
miles will afford just as good test Of
Workmanship as twenty and there are
many good people who think these displays
seould be dispensed with altogether.
