Every day pours more books into the already
Overlooking library or Congress, and adds aidi-
tional arguments for the favorable consideration
OF the bill providing for 1t new building which is
the special order for December twelfth In the
House OF Representatives. The Toner collection,
valuable In its medical and historical varieties and
Its biographies, the gift OF which accepted by
special act OF Congress last summer is now nearly
all removed to the Capitol and occupies certain
alcoveS OF the main library, as we'll as aslarge

The masses Of bound newspapers, American and
foreign, which filed the upper Il Cors or the State
department, and were removed TO make room for a
force OF clerks engaged upon pension business, are
now, with the exception of certain files retained
Tor reference in the Department OF State, added to
the library OF Congress, and viii be accessible to
the public as soon shelving Is provided. The
library has also acquired by recent impOrtatiOnS
and purchases at auction about 5000 volumes of
law and miscellaneous books, among which may
be named a complete collection OF treatiSe5 on the
law OF copyright, embracing several hundred
monographs in all the languages OF Europe.
Transfers from the departments, purchases dona-
TONS and acceS5iOnS un1er the law of copyright
all combine to enrich the floor OF the library.
There is every reason to believe that Congress,
soon after converting, will relieve the pressure by
providing more commoliOu5 quarters for the great
mass OF the collection Disputes over the site of
the new building may postpone decision for a
while, but in view of the urgent need for immediate
action any long delay will be objectionable

a DIFFICULTY IN NAVAL WARFARE,

London Engineering, discussing the bonn
bsrdment at Alexandris, points out very
serious difficulty in naval attacks. 1t says
The difficulty of fighting the guns with
precision, and of defending ship against
torpedoes and torpedo boats, will be very
"great after an action has commenced, by
treason of the accumulation of smoke and
" the time it takes to clear away. As soon
"as the ships began to fire at Alexandria
ga bank of smoke rose like wall, and
prevented the results of the fire from
"being watched. From the very COM
menoement it was SO dense that nothing
"could be seen of what the enemy were do.
ling" Orders had TO be given several
times to cease firing until the smoke had
cleared away; but it always settled down
again as heavily as before, the moment fir.
ing was resumed. The danger from tor.
pedoes and torpedo boats is of course the
most serioas one in this connection. Had
the Egyptians possessed torpedoes and
known how to use them, it does not seem
possible thst the English could have de-

MR.. HARRISON WANTED.

Mr.. Harrison, whisky.seller of San
Francisco, recently delivered aspeechagainst
the railroad contract system. In the course
of it he quoted what he claimed to be a
letter written to him by Mr.. Vining,
Freight Agent Of tine Unien Pacific, and in
which he was threatened with ostracism
by that corporation. Mr.. Vining now
writes to the Chronicle, saying that he
never wrote the letter referred to, and
that he never uttered any such expressions
as were employed in it. The Chronicle tries
to defend Harrison, but in so doing only
infuses a new element of falsehood into the
case. 1t says that Harrison introduced the
letter as having been written to some one
else. He did not. He distinctly said that
Vining lad written it TO him, and he went
on TO relate how he had taken it to Mr..
Stubs and shown it to the latter. It looks
now as though the letter was fabrication,

necessary for Mr.. Harrison to come for.

"cAPTAIE PAYsE.

Captain Payne, the Indian Territory
invader, has once more been captured by
the troops, and is in custody. The Gov.
eminent evidently does not know what to
DC with him now that it has got him. The
laws are so defective that he can only be
imprisoned short time, and there is moth
ing to hinder him from passing the re-
mainder of his life in making similar raids.
The man appesrs to hava raonomania ON
the subjscs, hut it is very inconvenient
and expensive one for the Government,
Congress ought to so amend the laws that
deliberate trespass upon Indian territory
shall be crime punishable with severe and
deterrent penalties. That is the only way
to deal with this class of cases, but when
the Government is assailed, and its author
isy set at nought, in the case of Indians, it
is almost impossible to get anything done.
Congressman are afraid of their constit-
uents, and prefer to subject the Govern.
ment to the charge of bad faith with the
Indiana, TO protecting it's treaties.

EGYPTIAN EXPECTATIONS.


The dispatches state that General Wolse-
ley has completed his preparations, and
that an immediate advance of the whole
English army will be made. II is expected
that serious engagement will take place
on Monday or Tuesday, always provided
that Arab does not fall back and abandon
his position. Recent information regarding
the strength of his army represents it az
being very much larger than had been pre-.
viously supposed. 1t is said now that he
has about SO, coo men of all arms, of which
"A, COO are infantry. It does not appear
doubtful that he has many more guns than
his opponents, and as his artillery is very
well served, according TO the testimony of
General Wolseley himself, THE is a serious
advantage. The British cannot apparently
make their advance with much more than
70, 600 men, and as they will have to as
sault intrenchments, and possess an infe.
rIor artillery, it is possible that the work
OF driving Arab back may be very costly
undertaking. OF course, however, it is
possible that half of his men are of no &C.
count, and that they may throw away their
arms and run, instead of fighting.

waiting this smoke embarrassment. At sea
it might be done by maneuvering, but
when forts are to be attacked the vessels
cannot chose their own positions, and must
take their chances of being completely
blinded by their own smoke. AS regards
the great question of ships persus forts,
military opinion is unchanged by the Alex
andria bombardment. 1t remains to the
effect that no ships have yet been built, or
are likely to be, which could successfully
assault forts armed with the heaviest guns
of the time.

Henry George has succeeded in persuading

matter of fact, the naturalization of
land is not being demanded in any country
on the face of the earth to-day. In Ireland
Michael Davitt's scheme has been repudi-
ated in the most emphatic way, nor is
there any country in which the idea of
land naturalization is more repugnant to
the prevailing theories than in that island.
Michael Davitt even thought it utterly i'm
practicable to propose land naturalization
unless coupled with provision for the
purchase of the land, and then his propo.
sal was rejected. Henry George, how
ever, insists that the State should take pos.
session of all the land everywhere without
rendering any compensation, and whoever
goes forth to advocate SO preposterous and
dishonest a policy is certain to have his
labor for his pains. Henry Georges theory

1t is said that Major McQuiddy considers

NO ROOM roR CONTROVERSY.


Those who say that the Sunday law plank
of the Republican Convention satisfies them,
thereby confess that they have no desire
to see any Sunday law in operation. About
this there is no room for doubt, since the
Republican plank only declares in favor of
the present laws, or similar ones. Now
any laws which are similar to the present
ones will be as ineffective as the present
ones. 1t is mere nonsense to pretend that
the words similar laws" mean "better
claws" They do not mean anything of
the kind. Whoever, therefore, affirms
that the Republican party ia pledged by
its platform to the passage of more effect
i've Sunday laws than the present ones,
either willfully intends to deceive, or is in.
capable of comprehending the plainest Ian.
guage. The truth Is that no man who
earnestly believes in the necessity of more
effective legislation for the preservation of
the Sunday holiday can accept the Repub-
lican plank on that question, or can regard

A STARTLING DISCOVERY.

Judge Wylie, now trying the Star Route
cases, announced in Court on Thursday
that efforts had been made to corrupt sev-
eral members OF the jury in the interest of
the defendants. It is stated that the
jurors who were approached have informed
the Court OF the nature Of the propositions
made to them. It is also suspected that
one or two of the jury have taken brides
and said nothing to the Court. As it can
not be believed that Judge Wylie would
have made the announcement unless ne
was sure of the facts, the discovery must
be regarded as real one. The counsel for
the defense seems at first to have thought
1t possible to shift the responsibility for
the alleged corruption on to the Govern
ment, but as one of the jurors ia under
stood to have stated that he was asked to
acquit the two Dorseys, this line will evil
IDENTIFY not answer. If the attempts at
corruption are proved they will throw
somewhat lurid light upon Colonel Inger-
soils recent ellogy of the honesty of the
Dorsey brothers. This development is
also very likely to render the acquistal of
the defendants impossible, since it can only
