Mr.. Sedgwick has visited Ell Paso seen Con-
sul Brigham and gone to the City of Mexico.
After consulting with Minister Jackson he will
return to the scene of Cuttings adventures
and make thorough investigation. Meantime
the STATE Department will rest on its oars. Mr..
Bayards determination to learn something
about the Cutting case, late as it is, is praise
worthy. 1t would have been mucL more so if
the idea had occurred to him earlier He has
learned by this time that public opinion is not
a thing to be overlooked in this country.
Boston has good reason to be proud of the
new sloop Mayfower. Over the inside course
where ii was thought not unlikely that either

to the front and held the lead to the finish.

bridge is to be finished in fourteen months.
Ten million dollars are to be expended upon It,

both the New England and Middle States, the
latter being able to supply the former directly
with coal. slate and other products which seek

non-committal Queens speech which said prac-

Gladstone no chance to speak at length on the

his opportunity and outlined the policy to be
pursued by the Ministry without fear of criti-

had special reason to dread.
