from a distance, and when they are
all ready, "The Committee conclude
by recording their opinion that it
would be presumptuous to place alb
solute reliance upon even the most
comprehensive and complete arrange
ments which can be devised, witha
view of rendering the tunnel abso-
lutcly useless to an enemy in every
imaginary contingency" If, then,
it is impossible to be certain Of clos
ing the Tunnel, the Tunnel must
be an additional source of danger,
and, a JortjOyj, Of recurrent panics.

will be held to have been dependent
on an old treaty, and to have expir-
ed. This amounts to a pretension to
a superiority in the whole island Of
Madagascar, and, if rightly reported,
will be regarded there as equivalent
to a declaration Of war. AS the Ho-
Vi are as brave us the Maoris, more
numerous, and in possession OF a more
defensible country, the conflict will
be a very serious one, and require
twenty thousand men for some years.
France does not succeed in such con-
ficts, her soldiers detesting the exile,
the heavy sick list, and the work
but it may be commenced, for all
that. The French Government has
evidently decided, while hampered
in Europe, to enlarge its foreign pos
sessions, but it distributes its efforts
too widely. 1t could effect more by
combining It's expansion to Indo-Chi-
ma, than by threatening Morocco, the
Congo Valley, Madagascar, Tonquin
and Corea, all at the same time. W.
should like to see a clear account of
the outlay on Colonies made in ac-
tual cash by France since 1870. 1t
would astonish fnanciers.
The Sultan for the third time in
his reign, has removed the Grand
Shereef Of Mecca, the second person
age in Islam, and appointed a success
0 This time, he has chosen a
Young man of about thirty-two, nam
ed Aoun Refk, of course a descen-
dank of the Prophet, but said to be "a
man of enlightened liberal views,
free from all fanaticiSm," and resi-
dent for a long time-in Constantine
pie. He is a younger brother of the
man who was a~ssassinated, and has
always been looked to by the Arab
party as their future head, and we
had rather hear his opinions des-
cribed after he has reached Mecca
than before. An educated Arab of
the great race, who had resided at
Constantinople, and has a blood feud
with the Sultan, is not likely to be-
lieve very strongly in an Ottoman
Khalif, and though mon have heard
for many centuries Of Liberal"
Popes-Liberal, that is, as against
the Papal claims-no n ever saw
one. The new Shereef will hardly
prove, because he is enlightened, a
faithful yassal Of the Turks,
The Geneva correspondent of the
Times reports a most singular reli-

there, who are important, both from
their position among Continental
Protestants, and the energy they have
always displayed upon the subject Of
Missions, Basic being in fact, the

airy life, would appear to have come
to the conclusion that of all the
Christian ordinances, Baptism is the
least necessary. They are not NOV

The Editor of the Irish World has
announced publicly that he will for
ward no more subscriptions for the
Irish Land League, the Parnellites
having virtually abandoned their old
programme of the land for the peo-
pie" He adds, that all parliament
tary action must be futile. This de-
cision must be a serious blow to the
Parnellites, who owe at least three
fourths OF all the funds they have re-
ceived to the subscriptions of the
Irish-Americans represented by the
Irish World. 1t has not, however,
dauntcd Nh. Parnell, who has tele-
graphed to the Chairman of the land
league Of the United States that he
shall advise the Conference on the
18th " to adopt a prudent, though
firm policy, strictly maintaining our
original programme,-abolition of
rack-rents, pending the attainment
of peasant proprietary. [ am con-
fdent that this policy will secure the
minimum of oppressive coercion and
the maximum of progress for our
people, and that it will meet the APP
proVal of Irishmen at home and
abroad. Ireland looks for continued
support" 1.-THE " attainment Ofpea-
SAINT proprietary" e its attain
ment by purchase, Mr.. Parnell will
find his programme too tame for
his American friends.
The withdrawal of American aid
from the Land League shows what
was always suspected, = hat the
American-lrish were the real instiga-
tors of violent action. They were
not, in fact, DESTROYS of any Land
Act at all, except as a means to an
end, Or of any policy in Parliament
but fought for two objects,-the de-
claration of a separate Republic in
Ireland !; and the seizure of the land;
with a view to its ultimate "nationali-
sation," and the creation of a prece-
dent which might be copied in Anne
RIGA. That the American : Irish
should have mistaken the depth of
the Separatist feeling in Ireland is
natural enough, for the depth of a
true feeling cannot be easily gagged,
but that they should have believed
that Irish peasants, who are always
SO jealous of their land-rights and so
distrustiul of the State, would accept
any project whatever for transferring
land to the State, is almost unintelli-
gible. We suppose the mistake is
another illustration of the old truth
that no man understands the temper
of his own country so little as an
exile from it. If there is a people
in the world which will. reject Social
ism, when once its tenure is secure,
it is the Irish.

A Rrufal Assault.

The brutal murder Of yesterday morning
was closely followed by another tragedy, the
details Of which were as follows For several
years past Sherman Edmondsop, O colored
butcher of the X street market, has been llv-
ing ON Bakery Hill with woman known MS
Jennie Edmondson, as his wife. Lately George
Robertson, n colored boatman, has been pay
Ing frequent visits TO Jennie, and Edmondson,
feeling himself rejected, concluded to leave
quietly. SO last evening he went to the house
after his clothes, but Jennie said he had no
clothes there and enforced her statement by
the presence OF Robertson. Edmondson then
left tho house, but he had not gone more than
two or three squares when Robertson ran up
behind him and knocked him down with a
brick, beating him fearfully. Tho police ap.
peared on the scene and took both men to tho
Fourth Precinct Station. Edmondson was In
q very weak condition and bleeding terribly
from deep gashes cut In his head. DR.. New
man was sent for and he dressed the wounds,
saying that they were of q very serious nature
and the man might die during the night, but
the wounds were of such nature that he
could not positively say. The man was taken
TO his home, the blood stlll oozlng from his
wounds.
sherman Edmouston was found to be less
and although his wound may result seriously
he was able TO appear at Police Court to-day.
Robertson was called.up out of the dock and
charged with simple assault and pleaded not
guilty. Edmonston testified to tho assault
and exhibited the horrible cash In his head.
Judge Smell sentenced the defendant to six
months In jail. Edmonston Is an elderly
man and is apparently suffering intensely
from his wound.

lawyer, OF Harrisburg, Pa. The young people
Of the church and Sunday.school had OF their
own accord decorated the church for tho occa-

church and Sunday-school, and at the same
time principal soprano singer, for several
years. They decorated the church very beau

dahlias was hnng over each aisle, tho one
entered, bearing on Its Keystone the
initial sd and that on the right tho letter

foliage, plants, vines and flowers. A beautiful
floral arch was pCt up In front OF tho pulpit
against tho chancel railing; crownlng this
arch was the word "Mizpah," meaning, May
the Lord watch between me and thee when we
are absent ono from another" and suspended
under the arch was magnificent floral bell,
made of dahlias, roses, tuberoses and other
flowers, under which the bridal party stood
