WAsHINGToN May SIN view of the absolute
certainty of war between England and Russia in
the very near future, the report Of United States
Consul general Merritt, at London giving con-
densed statement of the commerce of the United
Kingdom, is of peculiar interest at present. This
report, which has just been issued by the State
Department, shows that the total tonnage en-
tered at British ports during the year 1883
81, los, $50 TONS During the same time the clear
ances footed up 49, S56673 Of this vast amount
total Of y per cent were British bottoms. The
total number of vessels belonging to the United
Kingdom is set down at "a, 675 with tonnage
of 1912 zig, Of these 49, AS were sailing vessels,
and 6.26O were steam. The foreign carrying trade
gave employment to 145. 248 men. The total
number manning the British mercantile marine
(coasting and foreign) was 200727.
The total value of imports into the United
Kingdom was So. 134, 457, S95. The exports dur
ing the some period aggregated in value $1,527,-
1885, $50 These figures give some idea Of the
foreign trade of the United Kingdom, and offer
a basis on which to estimate the damage that
Russian cruisers and prvateers might do in the
event of war. 1t must be remembered, too, that
Canada, Australia, India, the West Indian islands
and other British possessions also have ships
that wo uld be exposed. England's colonies in
every quarter of the globe are too extensive to
be left without protection, and while her
navy is the best in the world it is entirely made
quate to protect her commerce and her colonies
at the same time. Russia, on the other hand,
has the smallest maritime interested any of the
great powers, and no colonies and very few sea-
ports to protect If America had the ships, the
opportunity to master the commerce of the world
would be ours. But without ships we shall not
derive great benefits from European war.

upon false principles of legislation can alone
justify leader of party in rushing into opposi
tion 1t is in my opinion highly impolitic for any
one who fails to get an Office to cry out that the
party is lost. and then fall to railing against the
administration. Mr.. Cleveland has not given me

was very anxious that Mr.. Mcdonald should be
appointed to the Cabinet and I worked hard to
secure that result. but 1 told Mr.. Cleveland
that if, after maturely considering all
1 had said upon the subject he
did not see his way to act in
harmony with our Indiana views and desires, it
would not be fatal to us. 1t is Mr.. Cleveland's
administration, not mine. 1t is for him to look
on every side, and perhaps his appointments are
wiser than those might suggest to him. To the
men who are before the country accusing the ad
ministration of moving slowly, it ought to be
sufficient answer that the Democratic party
takes possession of the government which has
been for twenty five years in the hands of the
Republicans, and that the Senate is still Repub-
lican. If the administration went to work with
reckless rapidity in making changes the mem
bers of it would prove thereby their unfit
ness for their places. refuse to discuss
any such proposition as that Mr. Cleveland
may prove disoyal to his party or the principles
upon which they elected him. My-cpnfdence in
his integrity is absolute. A more conscientious
President in his sense of duty never crossed the
threshold of the White House. The personnel
of the Cabinet he has chosen is also remarkably
high. 1t is not well selected in my judgment,
from geographical point of view, perhaps.
do not think the Northwest was sufficiently rec
ognized, and there was no apparent necessity for
taking two members from New York: but better
men than Secretaries Manning and Whitney,
individually, could not be found. The Cabinet
stands in marked contrast to some we
have recently had. 1t is not conceivable
that these men will fail to dis
charge their obligations to the Democratic
party, believe very firmly that the President
and his advisers should administer the govern

An Insane Mother Kills Her Babe.

NEWARK, N. j., May Sat IL o'clock this
morning, Lucy Gilchrist wife of John Glchrist,
while insane, seized her six-months old baby.
and placing it on block, chopped its head,
neck and body with an ak, killing it instantly.
Another of her children gave an alarm, and
neighbors rushed in, but too late to save the
baby. The woman is, without doubt, insane.
She says she did the deed because the spirits
told her to, and because she must save Ireland.
When her husband arrived, soon after the child
was killed. it was with great difficulty that he
was restrained from attacking her. The woman,
who is about thirty-eight years old, has three re-
naming children, aged fourteen, eleven and
five years. She was taken in custody.
