England, Germany, America, Russia and
France will participate in the Joint protec.
ton OF their subjects and interests in China,
In the event Of war between France and
China. The object is to protect the lives
and property Of Europeans and Americans
In the event Of the recurrence of Incidents
similar to the Canton trouble last summer.
In order to accomplish this the five powers
would form = flot'l,a of gunboats on the
Canton river, the command of which TO be
given to the power having the largest naval
force in Chinese waters. At the present
time France has the greatest number of YES
sells there.
IRELAND.
At meeting of Irish farmers at
Dublin, priest presiding, resolutions were
adopted asking the National league to start
fund for the payment of Irish members of
parliament, cOndemning emigration and
pledging those present to forbid hunting
over their land while landiordism exists. AT
meeting of natiOnalists at Londonderry it
was resolved to hold an outdoor demon
stration on the 18th inst. on which date oc-
ours the anniversary Of the apprentice boys
shutting the gates of Derry.
ENGLAND.
O'DOnnell's solicitor is endeayorinp
to induce the jury to sign memorial to the
home secretary, asking him to commute the
death sentence Of O'Donnell. Some of the
1urymen are willing to sign the paper, but
1t Is expected that the majority will decline.
The Times thinks President Arthur's
message somewhat colorless, and sees a
tribute to the Irish vote in the language
used in regard to pauper emigrants. The
press generally express disappointment that
the president did not recommend reductions
in tariff this season. All, however, refer to
the picture drawn by the message of the
the present great prosperity of the U niied
States.5
FRANCE.
The Liberte says it believes tn at Fer
rvs negotiations with Marquis Tseng aim at
the conclusion Of treaty on the basis of
formation of neutral tone between China
and AMMAN. The same paper asserts that
Earl Granville informed Marquis Tseng that
II China does not make important conces-
sions England will leave France at complete
liberty for action. There is talk of posi-
BILE fall of the cabinet and the formation of a
new ministry under Fallieres or Deves.
ITALY.
AT Rome, on the 9th, Signor Nicotera,
formerly minister Of the interior, grossly in
suited Senior LOvita, secretary of the minis
ter OF the interior, declaring that he would
like to spit in his face. Several deputies in
terfered and separated the men. Senior |
Loylta subsequently sent a challenge to Sig |
nor Nicotera to fight duel The latter ac- |
cepted the challenge and appointed his Sec
Onds. The trouble arose from the fact that |
certain native of Calabria, who had writ
ten pamphlet insulting Signor Nicotera,
employment under the govern
ment. Signor Sicotera's action is generally |
,ensured, especially because it has hitherto
been regarded probable that he would again
become minister

ITALY.
The Moniteur De Rome, the Papal
rgan, strongly censures the Catholic clergy,
t NeWry, Ireland, for their attitude during
he recent agitation there. 1t especially
ondemns Father Maccarten's sermon in
he cathedral of Newry on Sunday, in which
lie characterizes the action of the govern
nent in prohibiting the nationalist meeting
here as having tendency to drive the peo-
lie to rebel, and a direct insult to the
,atholic church. The Moniteur points to I
ne paragraph in the United Irishman, Of {
dublin, asking its friends in London to fur
1sh the addresses and biographies of the S
lrymen in the O'Donnell case, in order to {
nable their obituaries to be prepared. {
