PoRILAND, Or, June l6.-Comment;no

ing pistol and the instant death of another
Dase destroyer Of home and happiness. has
again shocked the people of San Francisco
ano Vakiand-apeople whose composure is
lgg ruined by accounts of mans perfidy
anu Woman's dishOnor unless the results
Is written IN blood. The Oakland tragedy
eported yesterday in our telegraphic col
umns repeats the old story of the base
minded wretch, who used the most exalted
9! aA callines, that Of physicianentrusted
wieh the physical life of another, as cloak
ior arts that compassed social degradation
ana moral death. The husband, as hus-
bands viii, when brought face to face with
g knowledge thatfirst appals, then mad
dens, scorned to Geek redress by legal pro-
cess Tor an injury that can be family
avenged, but never redressed, asked
no explanation of the offender,
but shot him down. Much as murder may
be under other circumstances deplored, in
a case of this kind the world bristles with
the pens OF it's ready defenders and the air
is resonant with voices extenuating the act.
II any case OF murder admits the plea of
emotional insanity in it's defense, an ex-
ample OF this kind furnishes one. Pity was
never called to a more reluctant task than
that of ministering unto the miserable
creature, the Outcast wife, against whom
and mental weakness and the
subtle arts Of the tempter havecombined to
work shame SO bitter, a downfall SO com
plete. Mankind's historian, though divine,
might weep while recording these dark
chapters OF sin and suffering. To divide
the blame in such a case, where the fault of
each is so complete that there is no portion
that can justly be remitted or taxed upon
the other. seems a hopeless task. Yet the
80 widely. prevalent among men
of lax morality, that all women are lawful
prey, except as they beat back by force of
purity alone the Wiles that may be brought
against them, is largely responsible for the
conditions that make these tragedies pos
sible, while to every sense IF pity, of chiv-
llry, OF justice, the stronger party to any
mutual crime, should be the more reprehen-
sible. The verdict Of the world is contrary
to this In general expression, but throbbing
down deep in the great, true heart of hu-
manity, are emotions and feelings which,
though held in check by the strong, oppos-
ing tide of public opinion, make pleadings in
The name OF pity for the lost one, though
dare not lift it's voice, even in
the dear name OF charity. The husband
suffers, but he is in a certain sense compen-
sated by the not subdued voice of approba-
zion; but the miserable wife, victim of
weakness and disease, and the artful wiles
of the betrayer, surely mercy might rejoice
n believing her insane, since that belief
alone can afford her the slightest shield.
Alas, for humanity Their strength is often
10 small; their temptations SO many and
subtle.
The tide of wrong is difficult to stem,
And ii to u.s. more Il arly than to them
Is given the knowledge of the good and true,
More do they need our help and pity too.

Grants Waning Strength.

Mt. McGREGoR, J June Isl "a. .m.-General
Grants throat and neck appeared better
than on Tuesday night. 1t is possible that
the Generals walk yesterday afternoon
tested his waning strength. 1t was too far,
and the reaction has brought to him a
sense of the weakness chat he himself feels
is not to be lightly disregarded. Whether
his weakness tonight is the immediate re-
suit OF undue exertion yesterday, or whether
it is a weakness from the reaction OF his
journey, is a question the doctors only may
presume to answer. At 10 O'Clock the
General seemed to be sleeping in his room,
the family at that hour, as during the entire
evening, were gathered in the parlor, and
DR.. Douglas was with them ior the night.
At II o'clock they retired, and the cottage
was dark, Dr. Sands left New York at IL
O'Clock tonight, and will reach here in the
morning. DR.. Douglas feels no apprehen-
sions for tonight.

THE NICARAGUA CANAL.
What Senator Miller Thinks of Its Con-
structiOn

SAN FRANCISCO, June Ex-senator John
L. Miller OF California, Chairman OF the
Senate Committee on Foreign Relations,
addressed large meeting Of representative
business men in the Chamber OF Commerce
this afternoon. He spoke at great length
on the proposed Nicaraguan Canal and the
treaties with Great Britain and other coun-
tries; strongly emphasized the right of the
United States under the present existing
circumstances to control the isthmus tran
sit. The United States has need, he said,
Of Il canal of her own for the uses of her
own commerce and for her own defense.
The French canal at Panama was a menace
to the interest and safety of our Pacific
coast possessions. Referring to the Clayton
Bulwer treaty, he said: "It does not seem
to me that any OF ourexisting engagements
with Great Britain are violated by the pro-,
pose arrangement with the Nicarauguans
for Il canal, nor should there be any fear OF
war with England. There will be
NO QUESTION OF NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
growing out of such an arrangement, which
will not be susceptible OF honorable settle
ment by negotiations between the two Gov
whether Great Britain will interpose any
objection to our going forward with the
great work which will promote her interests
as well as ours, and benefit mankind. Ger
tainly she has no right to object to con-
Guiding the treaty. The advantages and
benefits which the control OF this canal
will bring to this coast, and the whole
United States, are incalculable. It's con-
struction will be an achievement worthy OF
the first nation OF the earth. 1t will be an
illustration of the power nerve and sagac-
ity OF the American people, which will chal-
lenge the respect of all mankind. It will be
a lesson to the nations of Europe, teaching
them
THE AMERICAN METHOD
of dealig with great affairs and illustrating
in a practical way the future policy of his
Government in respect to the nations and
people of this hemisphere. It will make a
new ear in the life of this nation. The con-
sumation OF this work will be a triumph OF
peace. no less renowned than the greatest
victories OF war. This is the nations op-
portunity and turning point in the destiny
of the Pacific States. This is the age OF
prodigous enterprises and great utilities.
1t is the age of action. The day OF the
manifesto has passed. National greatness
is measured by national performance. This
nation has taught the Western nations
lessons of progress by example. Why
should we halt or hesitate now? Shall we
ask the consent OF Great Britain before we
proceed to the execution OF this great de-
sign, or shall we go forward, without fear,
with IL firm and steady step in the grand
marbh OF progress toward the fulfillment OF
American destiny"

Union Pacific Railroad for April show a
decrease OF $214, ACT from April, 1884,
cutting the net gain for the first four
months down to $2,6O1,5 ,5S2. The earn
ings for May are expected to be larger than

Santa Fe Railway for May are understood
to show an approximate gross decrease OF
S15O,OOO, and thus far in June there is no
improvement over May.

Sullivan in Powder and Tights.

PHILADELPHIA, June 16.-Accordlng to
programme, John L. Sullivan appeared at
the National Theater last night in the or
thodox imitation OF ancient statuary, with
white tights and powdered face. His poses
were good, and his physique made him LOOK
a good deal as Herculese or AJAX mlsh1 oe
imagined to have looked. It is something
new to him, and his attitudes in Begging
for Mercy and 1.-THE Dying Gladiator"
were anything but such as audiences who
have seen him knock out fistic competitors
were accustomed to. The climax was
reached when he posed as Sullivan himself,
in prize-ring fighting position, and the audi
ence applauded until he was compelled to
appear before the curtain.

REBELLIOUS RIEL.
The Canadian Government Having Much
Trouble Over Him.

OTTAWA, June 15.-The Crown counsel
who are to conduct the prosecution on be-
half OF the Government in the Riel trial are
here receiving Instructions. This TACT es-
tablished, his counsel will point out that ne
can only be tried for waging war against
foreign country. The trial would then nave
to be under a court martial, but as 6he
martial law was not proclaimed IN tne 70

are not half-breeds, it is believed that the

new trial, when the same difficulty would
undoubtedly be encountered.
