The Flood Rock (Hell Gate) explosion will be made on Friday or Saturday, and will probably be more interesting affair to spectators than was that at Hallet's Point in 1875. There is 8 much larger area of rock to be broken up than in the former case, and vastly greater quantity of explosive material is to be used. At the first He'll Gate explosion there was something like AS, GOO pounds of dynimite exploded This week close upon 300, pounds of that material and ''rackarock" will be used. Then, again, it will be more interesting sight, Lieutenant Derby explains, because in the present instance a good deal of the direct force of the ex- plosion will be visited upon rocks appear ing above the surface of the rive. It will be somewhat noteworthy occurrence to cause whole island suddenly to disappear from view by artificial means. The spec tacle of flying rocks, piles, bulkheads, etc., which Flood Rock Island will present as it ascends toward the heavens and then drops hack into the discolored waters of the East river, there to be swallowed up until dredged out some future day in frag- ments, will, he thinks, be worth looking at

 Pendleton of Ohio, are pointed as warn ings to such statesmen as presume to ex- patriate themselves from their native states and build castles in Washington. But even these deposed statesmen have the consolation that their castles have been a good speculation in real estate. A Chicago millionaire rents the palace that MT. Blaine built, while Mir. Blaine rents the house of Ex-Senator Windom. Any of the residences owned by retired statesmen can be sold to-day at a handsome advance on the purchase or cost price.
 There are very few statesmen of wealth, acting CT retired, who do not own proper ty in Washington, and glance at the books in the recorders office will show corner lots and eligible building sites he)a by men whose names are or have Eeen household words.
 The appearance of the capitol and other public buildings have been greatly i'm proved during the summer. The marble fronts and columns have been carefully cleaned and .tholy-stoned, and are now as pure and white as when first put Ill place.
 The streets, especially those about the city hall, the pension building ana clty post office, have been much improved. 1Qo OOWn-tOWu uOtClS utsfC AnN AAs'AA thousands of dollars put into them and outside them in furniture, paint and deco ration. 1t is evident that hotel keepers and boarding house keepers have faith ID the coming season. Rumors reach me from many directions indicating that the winter will be one of unusual interest, tho probably not of unusual gayety. The change of regime has created revolution in the old social order of things. The trained leaders who have held social sway have been supplanted by those to whom social life in Washington is new. At the receptions of the coming winter many ia miliar faces will be conspicuous by thei absence.
 The president has passed another com paratively uneventful week. There ha not been as much annoyance from otfic seekers as usual. Mrs. Hoyt, his sister has been visiting him, and is his companion in evening drives instead of Colonel La mont. Mrs. Hoyt will remain until tn 1st of November, when it IS expected he sister, Miss Rose Cleveland, will resum her arduous duties as mistress of the whit house.

THE Rockville Journal refers to The Press strictures on the issue of bills by the Rockville society, advertising its fair as in the ''Eastern Connecticut Trotting Cir cuit," and says that
 'sThe criticism is recognized as just, and yet the committee of arrangements feel that the consequences of an error on the part of the secretary in issuing the bill ln question should not be visited upon them. It is regretted that the mistake was made, and no dishonorable act was intended. We doubt if any of the horsemen, who alone received the bills, were very much deceived"
 The fact that the attempt at deception was failure does not lessen the offence of the attempt to deceive. And in answer to the Journals saying that
 ''The Rockville fair management feel that there is stamina enough in the old society not to need to look to the Stafford child for capital or special assistance.
 However that may be the managers are self-convicted by their own declarations of looking to the Stafford fair for ideas. As for the change of date for the Stafford fair that the Journal and the Rockville society com plalns of-the Rockville society as early as August selected date for its fair. Its officers had told officers of the Stafford society that the bills were already printed. The Stafford society changed its date at request of its colleagues on the circuit, not knowing that the Rockville society had changed its time, and probably as early, if not before, the change was made by that society. When the fact came out that both had changed to the same week the Stafford society could not yield for the reason that the circuit was already advertised, and there was no reason why it should yield, as the Rockville fair had yet its original date open to it for which its bills were already printed. Further the Journal asks:
 ''By the way, Stafford, were you really in the aforesaid circuit at the tune those bills were issued ?"
 She were, Mir. Journal. -a...t.l.

Great excitement was caused Saturday in St. Sauveur, near Quebec, when the public vaccinator entered two of the largest French schools there for the purpose of vaccinating the scholars. The pupils be- came greatly alarmed, owing to previous erroneous statements about the severity of vaccination, and also that they would be put to the severe test by force, if they would not submit. Entire classes rushed from the schools and home to their parents, who consequently became exasperated and proceeded to the schools in no peaceful state of mind. They were met by the mayor of the municipality who expostu- lated with them and finally got them to understand the necessity of vaccination, when the crowd dispersed without using any violence. The clergy in the several Roman Catholic churches spoke of the necessity of vaccination and of having pa tients removed to the hospital should the dread disease make it's appearance in their midst.
 Sixty convicts made desperate break for liberty Sunday in Angelina county, Tex. The men who were being worked on the railroad, had just finished their supper, when with deafening yells they started up in body and rushed for the neighboring woods The guards opened deadly fire, and 9 of the convicts were killed or wounded. Many were serving ont life sentences, and were desperate characters. Every means possible is be- ing used to recaptnre the B who escaped.

IT 10 sFoRFEITABLK.-Fof q mouth past
the railroad organs from one end Of the
Territory TO the other have been repub-
fishing an article from the New York
Sua attempting to prove that the North
ern Pacific land grant was an absolute
dedication, and not forfeitable under
any circumstances. To one who gets
about all the papers of the Territory.
the daily appearance and reappearance
Of this article has been nauseating, &C.
pecially when il was known to be based
upon error and wrong throughout, and
the papers approvingly publishing it
we're ceguizant they we're Publishing q
falsehood. Since the Sun article ap-
peared. Senator Dolph, whom no one
will accuse OF being an enemy Of the
Northern Pacific Company. has intro
duced q bill in Congress to forfeit q
portion OF the Northern Pacific grant.
Considering his relations with the COM
pany no one will accuse him OF being q
demagogue iu this connection; no one
will say 1t 10 out Of the power of Con-
grsss to do what his bill provides fer
doing; and II passed the company and
its papers will accept its validity. and
the consequent falsity Of the argument
Of the Ssa. Unoer the circumstances
Senator Dolph may be considered good
authority, bot even . higher one has re-
GENTLY spoken. namely: the Supreme
Court OF the United States. In Da-
kota case affecting the right to tax
Northern Pacific iand-so- called, at
least-the Court held that the lands
we're not taxable, a. the title was still
in the United States, where il had been
left by the company for the purpose OF
evading It's duties 10 the puolic. The
Court declared there vas no remedy IN
the Law a. it nov exists, but remedy
lay With Congress. and was OF easy ap
plication. IL said. "If that body will
take steps TO enforce its liens for these
costs of survey by the sale of the lands,
or BY the forfeiture Of the title, the
treasury of the United States would
soon be reimbursed for its expenses in
making these surveys, and the Mates
aud erritories IN which these lands lie
should be remitted TO their appropriate
rights Of saxation." Hero is not only
an express recognition by the highest
court in the land Of the power Of Con
oress TO forfeit, bat IN actual call BY
that bsdv upon Congress TO forfeit. De
the organs want any better anthsrity
upon this question: There is abundant
reason for believing that the entire
grant Is forseitable from Lake Supefios
