The Hanlan- Clifford Boat Race.

The City of Sydney arrived at San Fran.

particulars of the Hanlan. Clifford boat
race, which took place at Sydney on Feb.
ruary 18th, and was won:by Harlan. The
match was for $1,000. An immense gath
ering Of people was present. Clifford was
the first to grip the water. He rowcd
thirty -four strokes to the minute; Hanlan
thirty.eight. Cliford's work at the start
attracted all the attention. 1t seemed to
promise something prodigious, but the SUR
prise dwindled away as Hanlan gradually
drew up. For a half of mile Clifford
made splendid race, Hanlan contenting
himself with keeping near enough to watch
him without trouble. Hanlan then drop
ped his stroke to thirty.two, and his old
smile, indicative OF victory, settled on his
face. After this Hanlan drew quickly
away to three lengths ahead, then to four
and five. Clifford, who was pulling man.
fully, spurted, but Hanlan met him, and
put another length between them. AS
they passed the Sydney Rowing Club
Hanlan was nine lengths ahead. He then
slackened, and finished winner by seven

GOLD ALTERATION"
Rum, Romanism, Rebellion and Bu-
char(l.

Rev. DR.. Burchard delivered lecture on
"Men Have Met" at the United Presby.
terian church, New York city, last Sunday
night. He complained of pains in the head,
heart and back before he began. He told
the reporters that if they came to hear any
mention Of the prominent men who had
lately been before the public eye they
would be disappointed. DR.. Burchard said
the daily papers had taken him for "a re-
ligious slouct, an ecclesiastical dude, an old
fool, mule with ears like the mule that
Balaam rode He had been called every
thing but a thief and Il oafer. Only last
week he had been taken for plumber. He
had also been mistaken for the head waiter
OF a hotel in Venice. Referring 10 pride
and riches the speaker made use of the
words "2erson, pulse and palace and then
added, "you see am given to ALTERATION" !"
[Laughter.] DR.. Burchard said he had
been called a bigot. He denied that he was
a bigot, 'who was one who stood on a seq
ment of truth and never looked around the
circle"

british POLITICS.
The Democratic Element Likely to Con.
troll the Next House Of Commons.

In England both Liberal and Conserva-
tive political agents are preparing for
general election in November next. They
almost unanimously concur in reporting
that Of the present members of the House
Of Commons almost half will decline re-
election. If this calculation proves accu-
rate the next Parliament will be the pro.
duct Of one Of the most thorough political
changes ever witnessed in England. The
majority OF the members of the House
who it is thought will decline renewal Of
their candidacy are the older Tories and
Wings. The bulk Of these will not re-.
tire from politics because of advancing
age and increasing physical disability,
but because Of profound discomfort
at the progress Of Democracy in Great
Britain. Old Tories and old Wings are
convinced that the Democratic element
will SO largely control the next House of
Commons as to make the parliamentary
methods and their position disagreeble to
English gentlemen Of old fashion. Hence
these gentlemen will refrain from politics,
and from their own standpoint matters will
get worse. If ever there is to be real and
established Democracy in England its ad.
vent will apparently be much fastened by
the very disposition Of these Tories and
Wings to run away from it. The whole
tenor Of the reports from Provincial cen.
ters is to the effect that in the next Parlia
ment the number of aristocratic, nilitar,
and law representatives will be greatly les
sened, and the number Of commercial
men, traders and members Of local bour
geois in the House will be astonisl,ingl,
augmented. Tory agents have advises
their leaders to adopt an electoral pro
gramme based on Democratic lines
Churchill, the young and erratic Tor,
member of the Commons, who, in fit O
disgust with the clumsy Conservatism Q
his colleagues, abruptly started on tou
of India, has been asked by cable to return
to London as speedily as possible, to con
suit with Salisbury, leader of the Tor,
Peers and Sir Michael Hicks Beach, re
ported successor in Tory leadership in tn

A REMARKABLE PETITION.
The Fashionable and Wealthy Ladies' Op-
pose Female Suffrage.

A remarkable petition against female
suffrage was presented in the New York
State Senate. A .Swn special says it is
signed by the most fashionable and wealthy
women on and around Murray Hill, whose
names call TO mind a host of distinguished
merchants, bankers and professional men,
Knickerbocker families, leaders in society
and millionaires. Among the signers are
the wives of Eugene Dutilh, John Lee
Carroll, Alfred Ogden, G. b. Ogden, c. A.
Camnan, Morgan Dix, Augustus Jay, De-
lancey Kane, F. K. Sturgess, Frederick
Chauncey, Frank Work and Bayard Gut
ting. The ladies who got the petition
signed evidently went from house to house,
for the names Of all the women in certain
households follow one another. They told
Senator Otis that it seemed to them that
every year the woman sutfragists get more
and more attention, simply because they
are persistent, while the great mass of the
women have refrained from making them.

The Discussion Postponed.

In the English Commons on the even
ing OF the csd Northcote again demanded
the postponernent Of the discussion of the
Egyptian financial agreement Gladstone
refused postponement. Northcote moved
an adjournment, saying that the House
was entitled to leisure to digest the mass Of
papers bearing on the subject. Gladstone,
in reply, said it was the absolute duty of
Parliament to discuss before the Easter
holidays. The Egyptian finances had
reached the end Of the tether. Early in
April the amounts for the month will be
due, which Egypt would be utterly unable
to pay unless the financial agreement
should be previously approved. The whole
financial burden would devolve upon Eng.
land. Northcote's motion was withdrawn,
and discussion of the agreement was fixed
for Thursday.

An Interesting Study.

The New York IHovAd's Washington
special says: DR.. lie Plongeon, who was
introduced at the State Department last
week by Justice Field, was next door
neighbor Of Fields when the latter lived in
Marysville, California, and is now doing
on this continent what Champollion lie
Jeune has done SO well in Egypt. lie
Plongeon has discovered wonderful evil
dences Of the ruined cities of the Mayas in
Mexico. He believes that the Mayas were
contemporary with the ancient Egyptians: !:
that they were Of the same race, and their
language very similar. He has discovered
hiercglyrhics which are exactly similar to
those recorded by Champollion in the rec
ord Of his researches in Egypt.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.
The New Jersey State Capitol Burned.

Last Saturday large portion OF the Cap
itol building at Newark, New Jersey, was
burned. The flames were extinguished
after four hours fight. The loss is said
to be enormous. The chancery Office, con.
tanning all the records Of the courts, State
deeds, etc, were destroyed Two explo-
sions were heard in the Quartermaster
Generals office, on the first floor at the
northwest corner of the State House, and
they were followed by the flames that shot
through the windows, and in ten minutes
the apartments were in ruins. The flames
followed the steam pipe to the floor above,
and quickly set fire to the offices of the
clerks in chancery. From these the con-
fagration extended to the geological mu-
scum on the third floor. In this there
were many valuable State relics, but the
most valuable were sent to the New Or
leans Exposition month ago. The battle
flags were rescued by the fremcn at the
risk Of their lives. The sword and saddle OF
General kearney were destroyed. The
| fire then moved back toward the dome, and
it looked as though the Supreme Court
room the Chancery Court room aud the
Legislative chambers would have to CO.
The books and documents would have to
be hastily removed from the Offices of the
Comptroller of State, the Treasurer and
Secretary Of State. The fire was finally
checked at o'clock, although the engines
continued playing ON the ruins in order
that access might be had to the chancery
vaults, where exceedingly valuable papers
relating to thousands of estates are kept
The vaults are not burned, but are believ-
ed to be full of water, which may cause
almost as much damage as the fire. The
loss will not fall much below $1,ooo,ooo.
The part destroyed is the facade Of the
original State House, built in 1875. Only
that portion containing the Quartermaster
Generals Office and the Chancery Office
were completely destroyed. The other de-
parttnents were somewha: damaged by the
water. The Chancery and Supreme Court
rooms, the Senate and Legislative Assem-
bly chambers remain intact The entire
building was worth $5oo,ooo. There was
liberal insurance on the structure. The
explosion in the Quarterm aster's room is
thought to have been caused by confined
gas, which some way ignited..

THE WAR SOUDAN.
The Irish 1.amcers Achieve Il Victory for
the British.

Another account Of the late battle, dated
battle between the British troops and Os.
man Digna lasted five hours. The marines
were first sent to the front to drive tive
Arabs out Of the hills west Of Hasheen.
AS soon as possible they were reinforced
by batteries of Gardner and krupp guns
and by cavalry. There was a hot engage
ment for few hours, during Which the
British cavalry repeatedly charged on the
Arabs, while the machine guns were work
ed with deadly effect wherever their fire
could be made available. Great bravery
was displayed ON both sides at the engage.
ment. The Arabs retreated slowly toward
To;naii. The Arab loss is estimated at
GOO, and the British loss at 10. The ma
rines drove the Arabs from, the hills, and
forced them to retire to the plains. Then
the Indian troops charged the Arab posi-
ton, but were outilanked, and an unsus-
pected body Of Arabs succeeded in getting
behind their lines. The Indians found
| themselves between two fires and fled.
| During this retreat they were closely
pressed by the Arabs, who hamstrung the
horses and speared their riders. The Ben
galesc fell back in confusion upon the Eng
lish infantry and guards, who mad formed
in hollow square, and the square leisurely
retired, while the Arabs were yelling that
they had regained their lost position. Al
this juncture the artillery came to the res
cue, and brisk fire of small shot from the
machine guns and shells from The krupE
field mortars drove the Arabs from theil
positions. The marines maintained stead,
fire throughout the engagement, but the
honors Of the day are probably due to thu

women and children back into the hills,
and preparing to make desperate resist

loon sent up from the zareba remained up
several hours. The observers obtained in.

WOOD RIVER STRIKE r..
The Reason Why the Miners Are Holding
Out.

The miners employed in the Queen Of
the Hills mine at Wood River, Idaho,
made strike some time ago for So day,
but thinking the matter would soon be
amicably settled, we have made but brief
mention of it. 1t appears, however, that
the miners are banded together, and on the
principle of the dog in the manger, will not
work themselves nor allow any one else to
do SO until their demands are granted. The
owners of the nine declare that the cost Of
mining, reducing and shipping the ore, to.
gether with the recent reduction of $15~
per ton in its price, and the general de-
preston in business, render it impossible
for them to comply with the demands of
the miners, and that they are obliged to
close down entirely if they cannot employ
men at $3.50 per day. They also claim that
miners wages in other Idaho camps are
only $3.50; in Colorado, Arizona and Mon
tana, So, and in Utah, from $3.50 to So,
while provisions and supplies are as cheap
at Wood River as in this city.
On the other hand the miners claim that
last year the dividends amounted to about
S $4,000, and that two have already been
declared in 1855. They are obliged to pay
IS per week for board, and as the mine
furnishes them no bunk houses, they have
to pay from 81 to Sc per month for shan
ties 10 sleep in. Besides this, mines at
Wood River are worked only few
months in Il year, and the men are idle a
great portion of the time. For these and
other reasons, they are holding out for S.
day, and claim that the company can
well afford to pay it.

The Catholics and Methodists in differ.

In some town in Pennsylvania the boards
of education have adopted resolutions that
if teachers attend the roller skating rink it
will be regarded as equivalent to a resigna-
ton Of their positions, and they will pro-

There is scarcely an issue of our daily
papers that doesn't contain accounts of one
or more skating rink escapades. AS a pro-

riages and social evils Of the worst kind,
the roller skating rink is now without a

AN exchange says: THE scramble for
place reminds an old Government EN-
ploye of the time the Republican party
came into power. He recalls the case
of particularly tenacious office seeker
who had gone through all the stages
from hotel to boarding house and finally
had landed in the cheapest of cheap,
down by the Potomac river. His asri-
rations had likewise decreased, and his
sole ambition was to become watch
man in the Treasury. One day while
crossing the canal bridge, at Seventh
street, he discovered mans body float
ing in the water. On examination he
found that the dead man was none 9TH
er than a watchman in the Treasury
whom the very day before he had seen
about the building. Giving a hasty
alarm he ran to the Treasury, and rush
ing breathlessly into the presence of the
Secretary, he demanded an appoint
ment to the vacancy: "Why, friend. >.
said the Secretay, "the place has already
been filled" "Filled," shrieked the
mad man, "by whom? why, 1 just saw
his dead body pulled out of the canal"
II don't doubt that, said the Secretary,
"but the place is filled nevertheless. I
have just given it to the man who saw
him fall in"
