New YORK, September 11th = Paddy
Ryan, who has been in training for the
past two months to meet Sullivan, returned
to this city to-day. He saws he is very
anxious to meet Sullivan. as per agree
ment, TO spar on their merits to a finish.

give him another chance since the Missis-

condition that day that he ever was, and
Ryan claims to have been sick Ryan
further says he knows that Sullivan

The Standard Conservative, in an
editorial says: "Mr. Gladstone's
speech was wholly worthy of the &C.
casion. 1t was manifestIy intended
to convey more than we thought it
we'll to say. The upsh0t Of the whole
is, we take it, that Russia declines to
admit the conduct of her officers to
question"
The Times editorially says eff
Russia's policy is founded upon be-
lief that England will submit to any
exactions rather than rupture rela-
tions. Mr.. Gladstone's speech may
dispel the illusion. The cheers wit h
which the speech was greeted will be
echoed throughout the country"

The new President has had his
first experiment with the typical
Western steamboatman. Capt. Thos.
drummer, one Of the veteran engi-
neers on the Mississippi, called at the
White House to present in his person
his application for a Supervisorship
of Boilers in the New Orleans district.
He was accompanied and introduced
by Representative Ellis. President
Cleveland listened attentiyely, and
then asked: Captain, are you a me.
chanical engineer and machinist ~
"Yes, SIR" responded the old cap
tain, with the emphasis on the "sir."
He then added, in burst Of enthu
siasm: 81 can build an engine that
will pull me into this office" The
President smiled and asked ; "AbOut
what power would you suggest. Cap.
tain, for such an engine?' "Well,'
said the engineer, refiectively, "when
| left New Orleans l thought two
horse engine would pull me in, but
since coming to Washington and talk
ing with numerous other ofhce-seek-
ers | have come to the conclusion
that it will take sixty horse power"
The President laughed outright, and
when the visitors withdrew was still
looking as if something had amused
him greatly. " Chicago Times.

Law Of the Road.

Judge Biddle, CT Philadelphia, last
week expounded the law governing
drivers of vehicles in using the high
ways. A new trial had been asked
for by Moulton Thomas, against
whom verdict had been given for
damages done to the wagon of Henry
Brooks, in a collision with vehicle
OF his. The judge said: "There is
no rule of law which requires trav'
eler to drive over any particular part
of a public highway. He can drive
over the middle or on either side, no
matter in what direction he may be
going. What is called the claw Of
the road" is that persons meeting on
the highway must each keep to the
right. This rule is modified in the
case Ola footman or hOrseman, who
cannot campel a teamster with q
heavy load to turn out of the beaten
track. or even a light wagon with a
heavy draught. In those cases, if
the horseman or light vehicle can
pass with safety on the left of the
heavily-l laden team it is their duty to
give way and leave the choice to the
more unwIeldy vehicle. Travellers

There were five separate and dis
