London Notes

LONDON, March lin the action brought
to recover $500 penalty from Bradlaugh, for
having sat and votedin the house of commons
without having AIKEN the oath, Justice
Mathew, oft Queens bench,gave Judgment
against Bradlaugh. The defense that the
right to take an intirmation instead of an oath
as allowed in the courts, applies also to the
commons, was wrong. At ~Bradlaugh's re-
quest the execution was stayed to allow an
appeal.
Geurst, (conservative), gave notice in the
house of commons that he would on Monday
next move for a writ of election at North
hampton in the room of Bradlaugh.
Gladstone said he hoped if his proposal to
facilitate business in the committee of supply
was acceded to, he would be able to devote
Thursday week to debate on the Candabar
question.
Gladstone in the house tonight said he be-
lievcd neither Gen. Wood or the Beers had
proposed any armiSlice, but that the president
Of the Orange free state said the question OF
appointing commissioners to examine into the
matters iii dispute is under consideration, but
that all rumors about peace negotiations are
either premature or ~Gr0undleSS.

New York Newst

NEW YORK, March 1.-THE "~TrIbune's',
Washington special says: There IS a curious
piece of gossip respecting the mission to Mex
leo. This mission, it is said, at the request of
Gen. Grant has been placed at his disposal.
He desires to have John Russell Young go as
minister, but Young himself prefers the Chi
nese mission. Should Young decline the
Mexican mission, it is possible Gen. Grant
may suggest the name of ex-United States
Senator Paddock, of Nebraska. Gen. Grant
takes a great interest in the Mexican mission.
He has large business Interests III connection
with the railroad and other enterprises, the
ultimate object of which is the commercial
conquest of Mexico. In two years it is now
expected there will be a direct railroad COM
munication wit. the city of Mexico, and the
Southern Pacific road is already completed.
Through the influence of railroads it is antic-
ipaled the Mexican merchants will gain in
Mexico the commercial supremacy which is
now maintained there by the Europeans.
Gen. Grant much desires to have a progress
i've man sent there as minister who will be
helping the Mexican projects, the object of
which is to facilitate the commercial inter-
course between the two countries. He has
selected John Russell Young as such person.
Those who are conducting the case of
Kinds against Brady review Brady's attack
upon Kinds and claim that Brady has in no
way defended himself from the charges made
by the | tiers which he produces. Kinds
people say he denies nothing, and does not 60
to the merits Of the question. The Kinds
people renew the charge that Brady divided an
$4,000 bride with S. p. Brown, which was
obtained from John Walsh, a wealthy star
route contractor. They say that S. p. Blown
is IA partner Of Brady in solne timber land in
Canada that a regular arrangement was
made through the sixth auditors office by
which Brady, or some one in his interest, re.
ceived money. Mr.. Kinds states that Brown
the alleged partner Of Brady. informed him
(Hinds) that he divided $1,000 with Brady in
the Walker house, ON 10Th street, in April,
1879.
There has been as yet no indication on the
part of the democrats of a purpose to consid-
er the Chinese treaties at the present execu-
tive session. Intelligent Californians here,
who have closely studied the treaties, do not
anticipate any danger will result from a too
liberal Interpretation Of the terms laborers,
students and travellers, and believe the treaties
should be ratified as they give our govern
ment the whole control over the question Of
immigration.

The Inter- Ocean Canal.

LONDON, March I0.-In the house of COM
mons the under secretary, replying to a ques-
ton, said there had been no correspondence
recently with the United States respecting the
inter-oceanic commission, but the subject was
receiving the governments careful attention.
The question recited a passage in Gartield's
inaugural with reference to the canal, and
asked whether, by the Cla~yton-Bulwer
treaty, England and the United States had
not agreed as a general principle to extend
their protection to any practical communities
tion across the Isthmus, and whether the
British government and the United States will
| or have come to an understanding as to the
execution of this treaty in respect to the
canal now contemplated.

KANSAS CITY, March 9.-The greatest con-
Migration ever known in Kansas City for
many years occurred this morning on Union
avenue, between Mulberry and Santa Fe
streets, by which was destroyed that part Of
the magnificent new block of buildings occu-
pied by Woodward, Faxon & Co., wholesale
druggists; Kelly, Wells 81 Co., wholesale
hardware, and Oglebary & Co., wholesale gro
GERS. The flames were first seen to burst
from the rear windows of Faxon d. Co.'S
store, and by the time the tiremen arrived, at
4 O'Clock, the roof and windows gIared ter
rifcally with leaping flames. A series of ex-
plosloils, numbering not less than 10, took
place, caused by a case of gunpowder in the
establishment of Oglebary & Co., and bar
rels OF coal oil in the drug house of Wood
ward, Faxon & Co. These explosions were
loud enough to be heard throughout the city
and by families living two miles from the
scene of the conflagration. The water pres
sure, which should have been 90 pounds to
the square inch, was scarcely sufficient to
carry a stream to the second story window.
Woodward, FaXon Il Co.'S loss is So, 900, in
slrance $4,000; Oglebary g. Co.'S loss is
$4,000, insurance $4,000; Kelly, Wells &
Co.'S loss is $4,000, fully insured. The
buildings, owned by Leach, Ollnstead d
Hall, were valued at $4,000, on which there
was an insurance of $4,000.

change, with branch associations for local
purposes in various cities, all governed by the
same object of getting the most and freshest
news.

distant points, and an answe was received
from New Orleans in a moment-a direct
message, giving the news of the rescue of a
crew Of a vessel lost on Wednesday in the
Gulf of Mexico, and other current items of
news.
