IRISH AGITATORS.

The Relations OF the United States and
Great Britain in the Matter
WASHINGTON, March 2g.-The Baltimore
Sun has this information 1.-THE British min
ister has formally called the attention of the
Government 20 the utterauces of the Irish agi-
taiors, bnt in an entirely friendly way and
without any demand for redress other than
might be suggested to the Government after a
full Investigation OF the whole subject The
President, after the communication Of the
British minister had been laid before him by
the Secretary OF State. called the attention OF
the Cabinet to it, and after briefly stating his
own views, requested the members of the Cab
met TO submit their views in writing TO him at
tue next Cabinet meeting. This was done on
Friday last. There was no di ssent in the opin-
ion that In the existing situation of affairs this
Government would not be justified in inierfer-
ing with the Irish sympathizers now in this
country. One OF the papers submitted by the
Cabinet members enters into an exhaustive re-
view OF the policy of the British Governm. MT
with reference to political refugees from other
countries who have sought an asylum in Eng
land, and cites the invariable refusal of Great
Britain to surrender or interfere with them in
any way In the absence OF commission Of
overt acts. This policy the United States Gov
ernment adopts as its own. and has so COM
municated TO the British minister, with the as
surance that our Government will use its Ut
most endeavors 70 observe both national and
international obligations and to see that they
are not violated" I"

Eastern RAILROAD I.,tigat,o,

The Eastern Railroad Corporation has re-
Gently filed bill in equity against William G.
Rogers of Boston, William A. Bacon of Fal-
mouth, and Willard P. Phillips of Salem. The
defendants were appointed by the Supreme
Court of Massachusetts as trustees for
the Eastern railroad mortgage, author
lied by an act of the Legislature,
April %, 1876. Among the property that
stands assigned to them on the books of the
corporation are 15,201 shares of the Maine
Central railroad. The possession of this stock
has practically given the Eastern road con-
trolling voice in the affairs of the Maine Cen
trail, and has afforded it a through route to
Bangor and beyond to the British possessions
in the North and East. 1t has heretofore been
understood that though this stock was in the
hands of the trustees, the right to vote spon
it remained with the Eastern road az long as

Victor Hugo's Liberty with Histo-
ry in lie Roi sAmuse.'

The most satisfactory feature of the rev-
val of Hugo's play, ''Le Roi s'Amuse," the
story of which is so much better known to
Americans through the opera of "Rlgolet-
to-" has been the protest uttered by some of
the more accomplished and outspoken of
the Partisan critics against the monstrous
inaccuracy of the drama, whether it be re-
garded from an artistic and historical point
of view. Though blind Hugolater like NJ.
Jules Claretie are prepared to believe and
defend ''the masters" dictum that, revolt
ing as are many of its scenes, the play pos
sesses "the interest of history" M. sAuguste
Vitu, M. Henri de Pene and several other
journalists of note have treated Gle Roi
sam use' almost as it deserved to be treat
ed-as fable, and stupid and malevolent
fable at that. Among the reasons why Fran.
els could not have abducted and seduced
the daughter of his jester Triboulet NAV be
mentioned the fact that the Jester never
was married and never had a daughter.
The episode of the count of Saint-Vallier
retaining his daughter, Diana of Poitiers,
is fabulous. There is no proof that her hon
or was made the price of her fathers par
don; not till many years after, when she had
worn her Widows weed for seven years, did
she become the mistress-not of Francis but
of his son and it is not easy to see WHY
Saint WALLER should have complained of
her abduction and demanded her return,
seeing that for ten years she had been living
under her husbands roof, and that, if any
body had any cause for complaint, it was that
husband, Louis de Breze. Hugo has made
the cul-de-sac Busy open upon the quay
which did not exist till after the reign of
Francis, and he has made the king speak of
the splendors of court life at Paris and de-
preciate Nine de Cosses intention of shin
ing in provincial sky, whereas Francis was
the least Partisan of all the French kings.
aud the ambassadors used to complain of
the expense to which they were put
in consequence of his passion for
removing the court from one provincial
city to another. As for Hugo's reading of
the character of the opponent of Charles V.
the victor of Marignano and the friend and
patron of Titan, Leonardo da Vinci, An
drea del Sarto and Benvenuto Cellini, that is
purely personal matter. But it is refresh
ing to hear such journalist as Henri de
Pene using language like this: ''If there is
anything more powerful than Hugo's genius
it is the absoluteness of his will. He has
made a language, a humanity, truth,
realism and public for his own use There
was no instance before him aud there will be
no instance after him of ike discretionary
power in the republic of letters"

SENATE TARIFF BILL.


GtOGu oPROSlOlOn W III O6V9lOp6Q.
WARRINGTON, Jan. 6'-There is good deal
of opposition on the part of the representatives
of several New England industries who are
here to the Senate Tariff BILL and the opposi-
tion will undoubtedly increase as the measure
is better understood. The Senate bill proposes
much more sweeping reductions than the
Houe bill, and on that account is likely to ex-
cite greater antagonism. Manufacturers of
barbed fences have one advantage in the bill,
inasmuch as the limitation OF weight and size
in steel ingots other than crucible is stricken
out and the rate left at six-tenths This will
enable these manufacturers to buy these ingots
If the duty on wire rods is continued as at pre-
sent There will be strong opposition to the
proposed reduction of duty on btuminous coal
from Is to 20 cents per ton. Maryland, Penn
sylvania and West Virginia will oppose the re-
duction. Representatives from those states
claim that New England capitalists who own
controlling interests in Nova Scotian coal
mines have been instrumental in securing this
reduction.
The representatives of the whisky distillers
are very confident the bill. will pass the House.
The New England Representatives there will
not be less opposed to 1t than they were in the
Senate. The whiskey lobby is greatly strength
ened, for the reason that great many banks
which are carrying whisky paper in the shape
OF warehouse certificates are greatly interested
in the passage of the bill and the financial
standing of the distillers For this reason
they have used all their influence in favor of
the bill.

PLEURO PNEUMONIA.

Interesting Statistics Contained in the
Report of the Treasury Cattle Commits
sion-The Loss of the Country and It's
Remedy.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-The Secretary of the
Treasury today transmitted to the House the
report of the Treasury cattle commission on
lung plague, or contagious pleuro-pneumonia.
The commission report that they have visit
ed and consulted with the collectors of the
ports of Portland, New York, Philadelphia and
Baltimore, with the view OF securing appropri-
ate sites and buildings as quarantine stations
for imported cattle. They endorse the success
OF the quarantine stations at Quebec, Can.
After careful observation of no less than sixty
sites offered, the commission secured such
places for the ports of Portland, Boston, New
York and Baltimore. There Deing but a very
small importation to the Philadelphia port it
was thought unwise to make purchase there.
The commission observes that it is vain to
hope that England will remove the clause in
her laws requiring that our meat be saugh-
tered before expectation so long as we fail to
show that the least vestige of the infection has
been wiped out from our land, and nothing
but the absolute and undeniable extinction of
this disease in the United States will reopen
the British market TO our live cattle, and save
us those millions that we are now every year
prodigally and we might almost say insanely,
throwing away"
The present yearly losses from the lung
plague in the United States are estimated at
from So, ,000, 900 to $3 900 900, and the prospect
lveyearly losses $5, 100000, until sum be Sc
cured TO stamp out the disease. The capital
represented by the present yearly losses at 5
per cent. is from $40,000000 to $6O.0O0,000.
The capital represented by the prospective
yearly losses az per cent. is $100,0e0,0o0
The legisla tion required for the extinction
of the lnng plague is: First, measures to
prevent the removal Of the cattle from infect
ed State, Territory or district into another
State, Territory or district; second measures
to discover and exclude all injected herds,
and to promptly stamp out the Infection.
The committee also recommends, besides
the quarantine at the sites indicated, that
Congress empower the Secretary of the Treas
ury TO order the instant destruction and prop
or disposal of all cattle, or other animals,
which, during the period sof quarantine, may
manifest any dangerous contagious disease,
unless they can be safely removed to speci al
quarantine ground approved by the cattle COM
mission, ana detained there under such rigid
supervision as the commissioners shall pre-
scribe 10 the owners.
The report goes minutely into the details of
the disease, and the effects it has uEon exports
etc
