THE SITUATION AS 1T Is.

Whatever confidence the Republicans
may feel as to the outcome Of the cam
paign results from long and uninterrupted
tenure Of power. They have been in so
long that they cannot imagine going out.
They recall the fact that, even when
voted out in 1876, they still staid in.
They find encouragement in the refec-
tion that, when defeat stared them in
the face four years ago, they bought a
victory with millions Of money derived
from the sale of legislation and the
bartering of offices. They have come to
regard themselves as permanently fixed
in the control of the country, whether in
minority or majority, and agree with
Senator Hoar that the election of Cleve-
land will be a mere conspiracy.
As for any substantial basis for Re.
publican confidence it does not exist. 1t
cannot be found in the election returns
Of 1874, 1876, 1878, 1880 or 1882. With
the Democrats in possession of the gov
eminent Of 25 States and an overwhelm-
ing majority in the National House of
Representatives; with a formidable re.
volt in the Republican party; with a
Republican candidate whom many of his
adherents have denounced as unfit for
the Presidency; with a platform every
line of which takes issue with the party
record; with the Prohibitionists moving
out OF the party on one side and the Anti.
Prohibitionists moving off on the other;
with armies Of workingmen in idleness
and want, arraigning the party for viola.
tion of pledges; with revenues from sale
of Offices and intimidation of officials
greatly reduced; with small receipts from
sources which have heretofore poured
millions into their corruption funds
with all these discouraging conditions it
is absolutely impossible for the Republi.
cans to base the confidence they express
ON anything more tangible than the
Micawber hope that something will
turn up"
The Democratic sky is bright. The
condition of the Republican party is all
that Democrats could desire. The up.
roar that the hippodrome is raising in
Ohio is nearer q wall of despair than a
shout Of victory.

CAIRO, Oct. ia messenger from Am
bukel reports that after Gorden had re-
turned from Khsrtoum 8 boat with 40
Europeans and Egyptians, accompanied by
five negroes and three servants, grounded
st salamat. The Sheiks offered hospitality
to the party, and enticed them to their
houses, where they msssaored all but ii,
who are now prisoners. 1t is unknown
whether any Europeans are among the
survivors.
WADY HALFA, Oct. IA message sent
out to Col. Kitchener has returned. He
confirms the report Of Stewards murder,
and says that the only survivors are four
black slaves. All the Europeans, includ-
ing NJ. Nicolai, the Greek Consul, were
killed.
LONDON, Oct. 1.-THE British Commo-
dore on the Australian station has been in
structed TO proceed TO New Guinea and
proclaim the British protectorate over the
southern coasts of that Island to the east
ward of 141 south meridian east longitude.
The protectorste will include the Islands
adjacent. The southern New Guinea set
Element, within the protectorate, will not,
at present, be admitted.
PARIS, Oct. lit is stated that the
French Government is negotiating with the
owners Of several large English steamships
with the object Of chartering vessels to
convey troops to China.
ROME, Oct. 11.-To-day's advices from
CatAnis show the recent cyclone far more
destructive than at first announced. The
entire country about Catsnia is devastated.
Vineyards and olive gardens have van
ished. Fully 5000 dwellings were de-
stroyed.
CAIRo, Oct. 10.-Col. Kitchener tele-
graphs that a umor is current at Am
bukel that the rebels captured three Euro
peans with their dragomen. II the report
is true, the prisoners are presumably Col.
Stewart, Power, correspondent Of the
London Times, NJ. Herbin, French Con-
sui OF Khartoum. Thus there is some
hope that the lives Of these three have
been spared. One hundred rowboats,
forming a part of the Nile expedition, have
arrived at Sassewan.

Herr Saur has produced an electric
battery which will work in the sunlight
and not in the shade. The point is
that the sunlight, whether by chemical
effect or in some other way, is made to
help work an electric battery. The
object viii be to get the sunlight to do
as much Of the work as possible. and to
reduce the cost Of the other elements
to a minimum. Then, supposiug that
cheap and portable accumulators can
be invented, instead of the cumbrous
aud expensive appliances now in use for
storing electricity, force enough may be
obtained ou. of the sunshine Of single
summer to drive all the mills and rail-
road trains in the country for years.

THE OLDEST TREE in THE WORLD.

The oldest tree in the world, so far
as any body knows, is the Bo tree
of the sacred city of Amarapoora, in
Burmah. 1t was planted 299 B. c.,
and is therefore now 2170 years old.
Sir James Emmerson Tennet gives
reasons for believing that the tree is
really of this wonderful age, and re-
fers to. historic documents in which it
is mentioned at different dates, as
1872 A. d., 223 A. D., and so on to
the present day. ''To it," says Sir
James, ''kings have even dedicated
their dominions, in testimony of their
belief that it is branch of the identi-
cal fig tree under which Buddha re-
clined at Urumelya when he UNDER
went his apotheosis. :" Its leaves are
carried away as streamers by pill
grims, but it is too sacred to touch
with a knife, and therefore they are
only gathered when they fall. The
king oall in Windsor forest, England,
is 1000 years old.-ScotSnadn.

A NEW COMPASS.

Capt. Magnagin. has invented and
lately introduced in the italian navy q
compass which is thus described by
the Jeacellers' Circu1ar:-
cts needle floats upon a pool of
water, tinctured with spirits of wine
to prevent freezing. The water is
contained in glass vessel, with an
elastic vessel to allow its expansion
and contraction without breaking the
vessel. The needle consists of six
bundles of fine magnets, built up of
cast ribbon steel, and fixed on cord.
1t is inclosed in Theoretically sealed
case, which is delicately poised on a
brass pivot. The pivot has a sap
phire top and jade point, all highly
polished to diminish friction. The
advantage of the compass is that the
resistance of the water being great to
rapid movement is comparatively
slight to slow ones, and hence the
ordinary movements of the needle
are free enough, whereas those due
to sudden shocks from without are
resisted, with a consequent staying
of the indications. Tried on board
the Duilio, it is found that the dis
charge of 100 ton gun or the motion
of the screw does not affect the read
ing of the compass. The effects of
the rolling and pitching of the vessel
are guarded against by suspending
the floating case very little above
its centre of oraYitY.o

0GEAN BEACH DISASTER.

The Cliff House suspension bridge
from the cliff to the rock above near
est the shore, was overturned Sun
day afternoon at about 4 O'Clock
and of the persons upon it twenty
were precipitated TO the beach below,
falling on the rocks and sand, receiv-
ing painful, and in some cases, seri-
Gus injuries, but escaping drowning
because the tide was out. There are
many accounts of the occurrence.
All agree that the bridge was unsta.
bic, but that the accident was brought
about Immediately by the actions of
reckless boys, who swung the bridge
at both ends, rocking it dangerously,
no one interfering with them, and
that thereby a panic was caused.
According to the version of II.
McCrum, one of the proprietors of
the Cliff House, he at 2 o'clock
requested Policeman j. Maloney to
prevent the crowding Of the bridge.
A large number of persons were
gathered about the structure, and
this led to the request, that an acct
dent might be prevented. But all the
policeman could do was to keep order,
the rush was so great.
Several persons were seriously
injured, but up to date there has
been no fatal results. r. BuI-
