REPORTED Loss OF STEAMERS.

Two large English steamers, both of
them in the freight trade, are reported to
have been lost recently, and regarding one
of them-the City of London report has
got abroad that she was destroyed by
dynamite. In the case of vessel which
founders at sea with all hands of course it
is always possible to imagine anything.
Thus it might be suggested that the loss of
che President, on which Tyrone Power
was, may have been caused by an internal
machine. And since there are fools of the
Donovan Rosa kind. who wish to appear
&c be much greater ruffians and scoundrels
than they really are, it is conceivable that
when suspicion of this kind is engendered
somebody viii very likely come forward to
confirm it. But it is proper to point out
that so far this report does not rest upon
xny evidence, and that it is simply con.
5esture on the part of one of the owners of
the missing vessel. OF course the shame
full announcement of the Fenians that they
intended to employ internal machines has
seemed to Justify suspicion whenever a
wreck occurred since, but there is very
good ground for believing that those who
talked so loudly about dynamite had no
serious intention of using it.

SPAIN AND THE CHURCH.

1t appears that Spain is no longer en-
titled to carry the gonfalon of the Church,
for her submissiveness to Rome has been
interrupted quite rudely The Nuncio at
Madrid demanded that the Spanish Gov.
eminent should address strong remon-
strsnces to the Court OF Italy in regard to
the outrages which took place on the inter.
ment of Plus the Ninth. Spain, it seems,
was the only Christian power which could
be asked to take action of this kind. OF
course it was hopeless to ask the "eldest

tremely angry, and to have appealed to the
King, but the latter had sense enough to
refer the question to Senior Sagosta, hi;
Premier, and the Papal representative got
no satisfaction. And now the Spanish
devout propose to hold a pilgrimage to
the tomb of Plus the Ninth, and the Nun
clio demanded that the Government should
prohibit it. This again was refused, though
for some time it was a moot question
whether the pilgrimage should be permit

that light line of railway should be con.

Moody, and that this Province should receive
a money compensation for the delays in rail-

1t Is said that the House Committee has
decided to report against both Cannon and
Campbell; against Cannon, we suppose, on
The ground that he was not eligible, and
against Campbell on the ground that he
was not elected. This is the most judi
<sious settlement of the case, in our
opinion. It would be scandal to admit
Cannon, and an abuse to seat Campbell.
There remains nothing, therefore, but to
refer the matter back to the people, and
meantime keep the seat vacant. If, mean.

sasa easy matter to re-elect Cannon.

Austria has twice seized the occasion of
treaty congresses to put in her demand for
the cession of parts of this country to
which she had no title whatever how the
Dalmatians, being free and spirited peo-
pie, have stubbornly resisted Austrian en-
croachments; how, twelve years ago, that
government made its first attempt to force
them into the Landwehr how the men
of the Bocche di CdHaro defeated the Aus
trian troops and hurled them down into the
valleys; and how Austria has now under
taken once more to force all these people,
together with those of Bosnia, into her
military service. Mr.. Freeman's account
of these events is full of the liveliest indig.

pictures the Dalmatians as a people

! however, that at the Berlin Congress Eng
/ land deliberately, or at least without hest
tation, abandoned these her former allies
and proteges, TO Austria, though she must
have known that this was doing them the
most cruel injury. But the truth is that
the Dalmatians are Slaves, and that the
Austrian policy has been dictated by Mag
var and Teuton influences. To them the
Slavonic interests of the empire have been
sacrificed, and one result evidently must
be the growth of friendlier feeling to-
wards Russia. The more Austria neglects
and abuses the Slayopic races under her
administration, the stronger will the Pansla-
vistic possibilities of Russia become. And
though at present it seems that Germany
has secured whatever the Austrian alliance
may be worth, it is by no means certain
that declaration of war between Germany

SARGENT poR MINISTER TO GERMANY

The nomination of ex-senator Sargent
as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister
Plenipotentiary to Germany was yester.
day sent to the Senate. While we believe
that the interests of the Pacific coast
would have been greatly promoted by Mr..
Sargent's appointment as Secretary of the
Interior, we feel that this far higher honor
thus conferred upon him has been most
worthily bestowed. The Mission to
which he is nominated is the second high
est appointment in the gift of the Execu-
tive. 1t is of the very first Importance,
and it demands very high order OF talent
in him who is to administer it well. Mr.
Sargent possesses the necessary ability, and
we have no doubt that he will display at
Berlin the same indefatigable industry,
the same resolute courage, and the same
genial and conciliatory manners, which
have distinguished his political career.
His long familiarity with foreign affairs
during his Congressional and Sena-
torial life renders it certain that he
will not have to s:cram TO pre-
pare himself for his diplomatic duties. He
possesses a fair acquaintance with the Ger
man language and literature an acquaint-
ance which, with his perseverance and
quickness, will soon broaden into a thor
ough knowledge. It is curious crcum.
stance that his enemies, in striving to
crush him and force him out of public life,
should thus have been the means of placing
him in higher position than he himself
ever thought of. But he can relinquish his
! Cabinet aspirations with perfect content
now, and he has the particular satisfaction
of having won the case of the Sobrante set
tiers just before this honor was conferred
upon him. Nor is the honor for him alone.
Mr.. Sargent represents California and the
Pacific coast, and that coast is honored
in the selection OF one of its most prom
inent men for so responsible and exact.
ing post. Affairs in Europe are now
| in a critical condition. 1t is impossi-
BILE for anyone to foresee how long
peace may be maintained between the
great powers. Russia and Germany and
France and Italy and Austria are already
viewing one another with jealous suspicion
and mistrust. The speck of war in Dial.
malta is quite capable of reopening the
Eastern Question, and of entangling the
great military powers in gigantic war.
Or the Egyptian question may lead to hos
tilities; or Russia may be driven to seek
relief from intestine commissions in foreign
conquest. In short it is possible that Eu-
rope may be ablaze before the end of the
year, and at such juncture it is specially
| desirable that the United States should
have trustworthy and able representatives
at the seats of government. The German
Mission has been vacant already too long,
but it will be well filled when Mr.. Sargent
occupies it, and the country will not be
long in realizing that President Arthur's
choice in this instance was wise one.
