THE dixie SCANDAL.
HIS FRENCH MISTRESS TO BE

The Plaintiffs Principal Witness-HIs
Re- apPearance> in the HOnse was
the Signal for Loud Cheering.
A French woman, who was the mistress
of Sir Charles Dixie, has been cited for the
plaintiff in the Crawford divorce case. She
will be the leading witness to prove the
Haison of Sir Charles with Mrs Crawford.
On the first appearance of Sir Charles
Dixie as Speaker since the explosion of the
scandal in which he was involved, his
speech consisted of only few words, and
was of no interest or Importance. 1t did
not devolve upon him to speak at all upon
any subject, and he obviously took occasion
to do so merely to show that he remained
at his post and was not ashamed to be seen
and heard. His appearance was the signal
for round of cheers from the Wings and
Radicals, which were answered by irOnical
cries of "Hear, hear - from the Tories.

The POpe's Policy.
The Pope's suppression of the Moniteur

act of self-assertion, has convinced the most
obstinate ultra-montanes that he has started
firmly on a new path. The chief danger to
a pacific policy is to be apprehended from
the falling off in ''Peter's pence,' which
heretofore diminished greatly whenever the
Vatican gave signs of coneiliatory temper.
Disastrous Earthquake.
Dispatches from Kashden, Asiatic Russia,
say that a great earthquake has visited that

The schooner James A. Garfield, which

crushed in the ice in Behring sea on May
9Th. about P. NJ, in latitude So north,
longitude 17R deg. 40 min. west While
working through a lead she. struck a piece,
of ice and in few minutes was found to be
full of water in her lower hold. Captain.
Smith. with the second and fourth mates
and two boat crews, were picked up on
Nav 9th, at N. Three of the crew had
died of exposure, and in less than "a hours
all would have persisted Two boats are
still missing, without any chance Of ever
being heard from.
The whaling bark Gazelle was stove in
by ice about twenty-five miles south south
east of the southwest cape OF st. Lawrence
island at 3:45 A. n. of June Sd. She was
going under easy sail through some neanng
ice when the second mate reported the
hold full of water. The boats were cleared
away and the vessel was abandoned, with
the water thirteen inches above the bes
tween-decks. Two of the boats reached
St. Lawrence island. On the 9Th these
boats were picked up by the bark Arnold,
which was in company with the schooner j.
A. Hamilton. The other boats had been
picked up the day before bythe barkAbranls

The steam whaleK Balsana was badly
stove.up by the ice, bntsacoaeded in escap-

to continue operations. Owing to the Sc"

season, it is stated that the catch Is not up
to the average. Many Of the sailing vessels
are reported as more or less damaged by the
ice. The losses incurrsd by the two disas-
tiers mentioned will not fall short of 500,
600, as both vessels had taken some whales
before they were lost.

toned the high station in life occupied by
some of her chief patrons. He was several

purpose on the part of certain members to
either lessen the force of the speaker or
force him to abandon his subject and re-

BRITISH TRADE.
Its Depr essed Condition Discussed Nv
the Lords.

Lord Iddesleigh, First Lord of the Treas
ury, moved in the House of Lords that the
Peers approve the appointment of COM
mission to inquire into the cause of the de-
preston in British trade. He said the
commission intended to ascertain if possible
what were the actual facts respecting the
depression and to inquire into the causes of
it, and would report its findings to Parlia-
ment without formulating any trade policv
The Commission would be composed of
men best able to make the desired inquiries.
There had been great complaint concerning
the depression in British trade in recent
years, and he hoped the Lords would sane
ton the appointment of Commission.
Earl Granville opposed the appointment of
the proposed Commission, reiterating his
argument that by appointing it the Govern
ment would encourage the public in the
false belief that Parliament could by legis-
lation remedy the evil.
