A Poor Opinion OF the English
Army

Major General Synge, of the British
army, who Is now in New York, in con-
versation with reporter, was very en-
phatic In the expression of his opinions
as to the forlorn condition of the British
army. He said that the men were of
light weight and undersized, and that
the impression seems to prevail that one
man was as good as another for soldier.
There was no unity of feeling between
the officers and men, while the whole
standard of the troops was much lower
than formerly. Ever since the abolish
ment of the Duke of Wellington's rule,
or perhaps since the Crimean war,
the English army had deteriorated.
At present such deplorable
state of things existed that the officers
were frequently made to appear ridicu-
lous. The war with the Beers had been
conducted in a most scandalous way,
English officers and men being murdered
under flag of truce, and this almost
with the connivance of English states
men. The condition of Ireland being
referred to, the General said: 1.-The late
administration warned the present one
that there would be trouble if the peace
act was repealed, but to no avail. The
act was repealed; the inhabitants imme-
diately armed themselves, and now the
British Government has sent over troops
to shoot down the inhabitants that 1t has
been the means of arming"

the elephant Lizzie's wonderful reoop-

Of the procession to greet him at his sbop

IN such manner as to cause some alarm

Bluffs-The Wealth of the Valley
and the Value of the Stream

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa, June % The
Inter State Convention for the improve
ment of the Missouri river met here yester-
day. Hon. r. L. Van Horne, Of Kansas
City, was elected permanent Chairman. Ad-
dresses were made by Governor Gear,
United States Senator McDll, of Iowa,
Senator Saunders, of Nebraska, G. s. Chase,
of Omaha, and Hon. Jno. Hogan, of St.
Louis.
The resolutions reported recite that the
wealth of the Missouri valley is $500 600 =
600, and it produces annually SOC, 900 600
bushels of grain, and is increasing at the
rate, in produce interests and wealth, of
per cent. per annum. That water trans
portation is the cheapest known to
commerce, and the Missouri river
was, prior to its artificial obstruction,
a great national highway, and can be so
again by the removal Of the obstruction,
whereby the cost of transportation will be
REDUCED one half, and landed property en-
HANGED. That it has always been che policy
of the General Government to appropriate
money for the improvement Of rivers and
harbors, and prevent property from
the government having iOge'hOws; sxnended ded
more than S20O, O,000. 900 already for
river and harbor improvements, of which
but $67O,0OO in all have been expended on
the Missouri river, wherefore, 1t Is
Resolged, That this convention most re-
spectfully but earnestly demands that Con
gress bestow upon the Missouri river a con-
sideration commensurate with the magni-
tude OF the interests secured by It's improve
ment; that Congress provide thorough
remedy for all the artificial distractions it has
permitted to be created on the Missouri
river by railroad bridges, etc., aud also for
a thorough removal of all distractions,
natural or artificial, and for a thorough sur
vey OF the river, with view of deepening
the channel, after which Congress will be
asked to make such an appropriation as
will secure its permanent and adequate i'm
provement; that an appropriation of $780,
OCO for this purpose is Just and peopsr.

made to find the connecting links of evil

numerous important political prisoners,
which must be held next fall. The for
tresses and prisons are crowded. 1t is OBJ

possibly make such an exhibition
of herself before the world as to try thou
sand or two of political offenders, and as
something must be done with all these
prisoners, to make room for others, the only
way to dispose of them quietly and expe-
ditiously, is by the system of administra-
tive deportation, which General Melikoff,
the late Minister of the Interior, sought to
abolish.
