the said vessel into their ports or allow her
supplies. The steamer, It appears, was
hired by leaders of the old regime to assist
IN series OF contemplated outbreaks, but
the fact OF her coming was discovered, and
she was not able to receive the recognition
she expected when she arrived of the coast.
The steamer sailed from Havana and took
out papers from the Consul of the United
States of Colombia. She has used the Itsl-
ian, English and French eolors at inter walls,
as circumstances seemed to make necessary.
The wife Of the Grand Duke Nicholas in
tends proceeding this summer with her
children to the White Sea, where 3 cruise
has been recommended by her physicians
for the benefit of her health. The Grand
Duchess will make use Of the msn-of-war
Djemtchoug, which will set out from Cron-
stAdt in few days time and convey the
invalid round Norway aud Sweden to Arch
angel. Here the Grand Duchess will find

lazy cruise round the coast Of the White
Sea.
The striking miners and the employers in
the Cumberland coal regions are still keep
ing up their Improbable fight. It Is true
the employers are nominally working the
miues, or one Of them, with imported labor
advantages, and at such expense for police
force, etc., to protect the new men, that
the operation must be st q heavy loss 10 the
companies Meantime the season for coal
shipment Is rapidly slipping away, the canal
Is idle, and business at that end Of the lire,
as well as at the other, is crippled. When
so many interests are suffering from this
strike, It certainly seems that some mode of
arbitration could be devised to settle these
difficulties, so Improbable all around.
The French spolistion claims, originating
eighty years ago, and for over fifty years in
the hands OF James II. Causten, deceased,
attorney of the original claimants, have
been transferred, with all the papers, to
John I. Pickett aud Luther II. Pike, Wash
ington. 1t IS probable that these claims
all Of them that can be properly presented
will soon be referred to some tribunal for
final adjudication, and the succ essors of
Cousten are DESTROYS OF reaching the heirs
OF the original claimants, who have become
widely scattered and hidden through re-
movals and marriages. II any OF the French
spoliation claimants reside hereawaY they
viii take notice, If they think It worth
while TO pursue further this phantom OF
eighty years.
In the House of Representatives on Mon
day Mr.. Beach, of New York, introduced
bill to grant permission to Fenton Sherwood,
George Teneyck and William Lewis to dig
in the government grounds at West Point
for the treasure said to have been buried
there by Captain Kidd. These men claim
they are able to locate the buried wealth,
and only want the assurance that when 1t IS
found 1t would be theirs. They had written
to the Secretary Of War, but were told that,
in the absence OF legislation, If they sue
nnanod in npaarfhfnn tho frnacnra ~ MID
belong to the government. Under the bill
1t would belong to them, provided they find
IL. Some years ago q company was formed
to make the search, but failed after expend-
ing the sum of $4,000. Their search was
made at point eight miles below West
Point.
AS the summer advances the authorities
of New York begin to stir themselves to
prevent the shores Of the harbor and neigh
boring beaches from being polluted aud
Uttered with carrion, carcasses, garbage
and the endless variety OF rubbish which
naturally finds its way from a great city
into the nearest water, there to drift about
at the mercy OF wind and tide. The expe-
rience OF the past has led to the
appointment OF a shore inspector,
| whose business 1t is to see that the haroor is
not befouled to such an extent as to rem
the resorts OF Coney Island, Rockaway
and the Ike unpleasant for visitors. AS
| sample OF the work done In keeping the bay
| clean five sea CAPTAINS have Just been ar
| rested aud indicted by the grand jury for
| throwing overheard condemned bedding
within the forbidden limits. Al o a number
of employees of the street cleaning depart
ment, and the superintendent OF a dump
/ boat have been hauled up for dumping in
| the wrong waters, and various vessel owners
are In difficulty for emptyiug oils, rotten
| potatoes and the like, where they would
| cause trouble. The regulations require al!
/ dumning to be done in deep water below
the Narrows, 10 the open bay, not nearer to
Rockaway than three miles, and not beyond
the west end Of Coney Island. There Is a
regular patrol along the beach after every
| high tide, &c Jury whatever animals and
refuse may drift ashore.
Gath In q recent letter to the Cincinnati
Enquirer says; "The gain of Republican
Senator in Oregon is OF great importance.
Treasures a Republican majority in the

Whether the Republicans hold or lose their
control in the House OF Representatives in

only loss the Republicans will Sustain. With
the changes unade to date, and count ng the

that of the Republican who is TO be chosen
In Illinois to succeed Judge Davis, the new
