LIBELING A STEAMER.

Washington, Nov. 15th.-A de-
cision was rendered by the Court in
the case of the steamer Harrisburg
and her owners. The appellants,
Emma S. Richards ct al, appeal
from the United States Circuit Court
for the Eastern district of Pennsyl-
vania. This was suit brought to
recover damages for the loss of a
human life through the alleged care
lessness and negligence of the en-
ployes on board the steamer Harris
burg. The Court holds: First
That in the essence of any national
law giving the'right of action to re-
cover damages for the death of a
human being on the high seas or on
navigable waters communicating
Herewith, suit in admiralty in the
courts of the United States cannot
be maintained. Second-That even
if an action at law has been author
lied by the statute in the State
where the loss of life occurred, and
suit can be maintained in admiral
ty against the offending vessel for
damages Ga point which, however,
the Court does not decide), the pre-
sent case was begun too late. The
law which gives the right of action
in Pennsylvania provides that such
suit should be brought within one
year. Five years elapsed in this
case between the time when suit was
brought, and there was no equitable
excuse for the delay. The decree
of the Circuit Court is reversed,
with costs, and the case remained,
with directions to dismiss the libel.
The opinion is by Chief Justice

PROTECTION.

New York, Nov. Is. THE Worlds
London cablegram says: Right Hon.
Henry Chaplin, NJ. p, created con-
siderable alarm by his speech to land
owners, tenant farmers and laborers
in Lincolnshire, in which he limited
very strongly at protection as a
remedy for the present depression in
English agriculture and manufac-
lures. He said that wheat could
no longer be cultivated with profit
in England and the depression was
effecting other branches of industry.
The destruction of wheat growing
was danger which the Government
could not ignore. The country must
decide what it would do in the face
of so great danger. Duty on the
foreign manufactured article might
be q remedy. If the proceeds of
any such duty were devoted, for
instance, to the encouragement of
wheat-growing in this country, it
would obviate the great danger to
which he alluded, and would tend to
the improvement of both the trade
and agriculture of the Kingdom,
while still maintaining to the utmost
extent the present cheap prices of
food for the people. He did not see
why there should not be consider
able reform in the fiscal system, by
which taxation might he lightened
and the fol- eign producer, who used
English markets, be compelled to
pay his fair share toward the revenue
of the country. Chaplin's speech
has created great sensation here.
While there is growing belief in
the necessity of protection as the
only salvation of farmers, who have
been reduced to the last extremity
by the Importation, free of duty of
products from America and else
where, nobody hitherto had courage
to give it expression. 1t will not,
therefore, cause much surprise if
protective measures are strongly
urged upon Parliament during the
next session. Lord Randolph Church
ill, Chancellor of the Exchequer,
said to-day that protection would
undoubtedly help to raise the party
to ride into power in the event of
another Parliamentary election.

the TEA CARRYING TRADE.

The use of the Suez Canal in
moving the tea crop from China to
America is rapidly being abandoned
for the swifter means afforded by
our transcontinental railways. In
1884 the bulk of the shipments were
via the Suez Canal. In 1885 the
shipments by that route to America
were but 1884, 1877 pounds, while
San Francisco received 12,496, 1877
pounds. This year the imports by
way of San Francisco have reached
20,525, 280 pounds, while those via
the Suez Canal have fallen off to
592,O49 pounds, From Yoko-
hama to New York by the canal
takes sixty days, by San Francisco
forty-nine days. Insurance and
freight charges are diminished, and
the tea, being fresher, is said to be
better when brought by the latter
route.-[N. Y. Sun.
