a Row.

KINGSTON, Ont, November 19.-There
was a terrible row last night in Victoria
music hall. An ex-member Of the CO
alition, who was intoxicated, entered
the hall and struck several individuals.
Capt. Thompson, aide-de-camp to Major
Moore, undertook to quiet the disturb
ance and was knocked over and choked
on the benches. Then four of the police
entered and arrested the young man,
when some resistance followed. The
crowd surged and pushed about the hall.
The officers of the peace and the army
were surrounded and kicked. One was
knocked down and with the prisoner
scuff1ed on the floor. The disorder was
fearful. The police eventually retired
without the prisoner and found difficulty

The Destitute Emigrants.

OTTAWA, November 21.-The report
made by the combined city charities
point out a terrible state Of restitution
among the poor Irish emigrant families
of this city. To-day's Globe asks: Why
should not the imperial government be
called upon to refund what Toronto and
other Canadian cities may have to pay
for the support of some of those who are
reduced to abject poverty? They are
sen to us because the imperial policy
requires their removal from Ireland.
OTTAWA, November 2l.-There is lit
tie probability that the government will
assist the destitute emigrants sent out
by the imperial authorities. It is sug-
gested that the destitute emigrants be
shipped to the place from whence they
came, as was done by the authorities OF
some of the American ports.

An Interview.

NEW York, November 20.-The Re
publican contains an interview with
VIM. Walter Phelps, member-elect to
the next congress, in which he gives ex-
preston to the general wish among the
republicans of the next house that ex-
Speaker Keifer should refuse to be a
candidate for the empty honor of a re-
nomination. It seems that Phelps has
written Keifer on the subject at the
suggestion Of members from different
parts Of the country, some OF whom have
served before, and others whe enter con
gress for the first time. They believe
their party to be strengthened by taking
a new departure, and that the House Of
Representatives is the best place to be-
gin the new movement ia the selection
of new names for all positions. It is said
that the reason Phelps was selected to
make this correspondence was because
he is not personally acquainted with
Keifer, and being a New Jersey repub-
lican he has not been involved in any
Of the factional quarrels Of the patty s;
he is therefore acceptable to both the
stalwarts and the halfbreeds.
In this interview Phelps expresses
the opinion that the e~x-Speaker, having
the welfare of the republican party at
heart, will not fail to recognize that its
future success depends on united action,
which can only be obtained by mutual,
full and friendly concessions, and the
avoidance Of any action that will tend
to keep up the disagreements Of the past
two or three years. Phelps, in the name
Of the party and country, appealed to
Keifer to announce to his friends that
he would not accept a denomination.
He felt sure that Keifer's action would
be followed by the sergeant-at-arms and
the other officers of the last House.
Keifer's reply has not yet come to hand.

Times Democrat received the following
from the everglades, via Jacksonville,
dated November IL:
The Tynpcs-Denocrdt expedition
through the everglades reached lake
Okeechobee November s. The expedi-
ton encountered two severe gales on the
lake. Two boats were swamped but no
one was lost. We found eight large
rivers running from the lake south into
the everglades, which we partly ex-
plored. We made six unsuccessful at
tempts to cut through a swamp bor-
dering the everglades. On November
10th we went up the IInaes-Denoocrot
river a distance Of two miles. This river
is on the extreme south shore of.the
lake. and from the banks of the river
We cannot travel over a quarter Of a
mile o day, a5 there is neither water TO
float nor any ,and-nothing but mud
and marsh, with grass ten feet high.
We are going through if it is in the
power Of mortal man. We are all
well.n
Subsequent dispatches indicate that
the expedition is in great danger, If not
lost, because Of great fires in the saw
grass. This information m from a
gentleman who accompanied the expe-
dition to the saw grass region bordering
the lake. The Times Democrat tele-
graphed to the Distin company, now
dredging along the upper border of lake
Okeechobee, to send a relief party in
search Of the expedition and discover if
it has been injured by fires.
