SE1roN's recent speeches in the House OF
Commons, read like American stump
speeches-full of telling points and witty
sallies. The manner in which he pays his
respects to Churchill and occasionally to
other prominent members OF the Worry
party reminds one Of a Western speaker.
There have been few better things said in
debate for a long time than Sections re-
mark, after speaking On Chamberlain's
apathy in regard to the condition OF Ire
land, that IF Chamberlain had lived in the
time OF Nero he would have played second
fiddle while Rome was burning" Sexton
is one of the most effective Irish speakers
Of the day.

JOHN P. Glow had a prize fight in Lead
vile last Sunday with a slugger by the
name OF Davis. According to reports fur
nished by the Denver papers it was a
brutal rough and tumble affair without
the shadow of ring science in it. Both
men were badly punished, and Glow was
taken off the stage after the interference
Of the police. Davis remained upon it
and the referee awarded him the fight. The
stakeholder, however, will not give up the
money to him. The sympathies OF the
crowd, it appears, were with Davis.

The report that the Parrot Company
has shut down it's mine and smelter is un.
true. The other reports which one hears
outside Of Butte concerning the shutting
down OF prominent works also have no
foundation in fact. The Anaconda Com
pany has suspended work upon thu Ana
conda and St. Lawrence mines but it still
employs quite a number of men upon
other properties in the district. One must
60 away from home to hear the news.

WASHINGTON, September 1.-Mr. Green.
Uol. Casey's assistant in charge OF the
Washington monument, has been making
sclentitc observations of the structure orin
technical phrase ''leveling'' it to-day with
me view " to noting any change in it's posi-

ton because of the desire to know whether
the earthquake affected the structure. The
observation proves that the shaking had
effect upon the monument.

INTERNATIONAL SCULLING RACE.
Beach Beats Teemer With Ease and Wins
the Race and Prize.

Beach Beats Teemsr With Ease and Wins
the Race and Prize.
LONDON, September 1.-The weather is
brilliant and most favorable for a race.
The tide was in the right direction, the
wind light and not a ripple On the water.
The crowd was the greatest ever gathered
along the Thames. Both men appeared
punctually, but the start was delayed by
the number Of craft which encountered the
course. When given the signal, Teemer
with thirty.six strokes, was the quickest at
starting but Beach, pulling thirty-eight
strokes caught up with him Instantly and
in a short time led by one-half length. At
Walden's Beach he had increased the lead
to two lengths. Teemer spurted with the
utmost gameness, but without avail. Beach
without increasing the rate of stroke kept
advancing and at Hammersmith was four
lengths ahead Of Teemer. who was then
rowing a hopeless stern race, though still
working pluckily to lessen the distance.
From this point Beach almost padded
home, winning with ease by ten lengths.
Authorities declare Beach to be the great
est sculler that has been seen in England.
He looked to-day as though he could row
ten miles at racing speed. Betting on
Beach was two to one, but this increased
when the rowers reached Hammersmith to
twenty to one. Time OF the race, twenty
two minutes and fifty seconds.

AREA OF THE EARTHQUAKES.

Opinion of One Who has Made q Study
of Earthquakes and Their Area.
WASHINGTON, September 1.-Prof. Men,
denhall, OF the Signal Service, has made a
study OF earthquakes for many years and
felt the shock of a number of severe ones
in Japan. He says that of last night while
not especially severe was nevertheless the
worst he ever experienced. He expresses
surprise at it's wide extent, and thinks it
likely that when reports are in it will be
found that the area affected is larger Than
that OF any previous earthquake of which
there is a record. Upon a globe ten inches
in diameter, he says one can usually cover
the area OF an earthquake, ever a severe
one, with the end OF his little %forefnger. but
this one seems to have affected half OF a
continent, and We don't know how much
more.

ing OF their names and exploits constantly
before the public does more to educate the
youth OF the country to become prize
fighters than all other causes combined.

Mr.. BLAINE seems determined to make
the fisheries question the leading issue.
We fail to see how this is going to help his
aspirations in 1858. The question is not
a burning one in any OF the doubtful
States. and there is every possibility that
it may be satisfactorily settled by negotia-
ton by the present administration. The
trouble with Mr.. Blaine seems to be that
he can find very little lew to talk about,
and hence grasps eargerly at anything
likely to interest his Maine hearers.

UNDEs1RABLE 1Mn19RANTs.

In view OF the attempt of a ship load Of
Mormons day before yesterday to effect q
landing upon American soil at Castle Gar
den. and in view of the fact that the Eng
lish Government intends to open an emf
grafton bureau in October next it behooves
the American Government to prepare itself
either to receive a horde OF undesirable
immigrants OF to adopt measures which
will shut them nj OF the country.
In Parliament the Ministry hints mod
estly that the limit of it's operations will
be to supply information, but it does not
call it's proposed organization an ''informa-
ton bureau" And we may judge OF it's in
tentions not so much by what it tells as by
what we know of the operations OF the
English and Irish authorities in the same
field. England is preparing systematically
a scheme for shooting it's rubbish upon our
shores. It proposes to empty it's work
houses upon the cities and towns of this
country, There is to be in Ireland this
winter q combined reign of terror and star
walton. Warned THAT the ~tenantry cannot
pay the rents, and that victions will be re-

IRENE step Of forming extensive camps in
the country, a step that amounts to mill
tary occupation, and will aggravate the
number of evils. An enormous addition
will be made to the number of persons u1-
able to take care of themselves, and these
are to be worked off as assisted ,emigrants.
With this scheme before us, it will not
strike the people as wise to lessen in any
degree the obstacles that the law already
places to the introduction OF undesirable
additions to the population. People who
have lived mainly in the workhouse are d
degraded breed otherwise than by mere
poverty; and even though som one will
support them we do lot want them. Our
laws on this point should be enforced to the
full extent. Recent events have strength
ened the opinion hat immigration is going
too far for the welfare of the country. We
should make more rather than less stringent
the limitations OF the law.
