London, March Is, 1888. Lady Florence
Dixie, wife of Sir Beaumont Dixie, was attacked at
WIndsor yesterday oy two men disguised in wo-
mems clothes. Her dress was cut with daggers
IN several places, but she received no injury.
Lady Florence was walking in n secluded spot
near the woods when the two men asked her
what time 1t was. She replied that she had no
watch, and afterward noticed that though they
wore women's clothes their faces had been
shaved. Much alarmed she started to walk away,
and was followed by the men, one of whom
seized her. She struggled to escape, but, being
attacked, fell in Il swoon. This took place at
four o'clock IN the afternoon, and she did not
recover her senses until As pm.
The saving of her life is attributed to her St.
Bernard dog, which, it is supposed, protected
her while she lay in the swoon, Lady Florence
had no reason to suspect immediate danger, al
though she had been somewha fearful sincs the
receipt of letters about the Land League. The
last thing she remembers is one of the men push
ing a quantity OF mud into her mouth. On her
recovery she found that both palms were cut
across and her gloves severed. Rhere were two

breast of her dress. A broad steel corset rib had
been broken by the weapon, which had penetrat-
ed to the inner lining of her dress at the first
stroke. Lady Florence supposes that she uncon-
sciously struggled with the men, assisted by her
dog, until the scoundrels were disturbed by a
cart passing the woods. She received threaten
ing letters while in Ireland recently. She states
that she should be sorry to attribute the outrage
to the Land League. The Irish members of
Parliament discredit the whole story.

Crafts engaged in inter-isIand traffic, built in the
United States, Wilder & Co., as We have previ-
ously announced, are having plans drawn in San
francisco for a steamer of some 300 tons burden
for one of his inter-island routes, and now we
learn: A fine iron steamer is to be built at
Philadelphia for Jno. d. Spreckels & Bro, which
is intended for the inter-island trade. Her di-
mansions are-length, 1875 feet, and width of
beam, 33 feet. She is guaranteed to steam II
knots and is to have first-class passenger ac-
commodations with separate state-rooms. These
with the magnificent ocean steamers Mariposa
and Alameda, make four steamers ranging from
900 to 8, coo tons, each built, building or to be
built in one year by Americans for the business
developed by this reciprocity treaty. Who can
honestly after this say that the benefits the
United States gains by the treaty are not equal
to those it confers on our Island friends?-S. f.
