One Ofthe mos hopeful Ofthe signs
Ofrhe times, the efforts of the UNIVERSE
ties to take part in improving the rela-
tons between the educated and the
poorest Of he poor in East London,
was iIJustra ed last Saturday by the
opening of The Oxford Hall, at the
rear of he University Club, Bethnal
Green. The Oxford House was
established three years ago, and
consists Of four Working Mems
Clubs, the main object of which
is to provide a centre of religious,
sOcial, and educational work in the
East of London. The Oxford House
ispresided over bvthe Rev.H n. Hen
son, OfA'l Souls College, Oxford, and
the Oxford Hall has now been added
for the purpose Of social gatherings
and recreation. 1t was opened on
Saturday by the Archbishop of
Canterbury, who was received by
the Warden of Keble College (the
Rev. r. 5. Talbot, Lord Stanford,
Lord Norton, Sir William AnsOn,
Sir John Mowbray, and others
of the Oxford Committee. DR..
W. sham How, the Bishop-Desig

own ransfer from the field of this
noble Oxford movement intended
to join roge her he East and West

of labour in The North. But he
will probably find that the very

During a discussion ON Wednesday
in the French Chamber on foreign
affairs, a new Parliamentary fgur"
appeared The Marquis de Brereuil,
a R"yalist Deputy from the HauteT
Pyr9r6pS, not yet forty years old,
made - speech which rlveIedthe atten-
ton of the Chamber. lie maintained
that France should not be precipitate,
for that with time the League OF Peace
would dissolve; the Emperor of
G"rmany was ll,and it had been noted
in history that conluerrrs do not
! ave c%onquering successors. France
should keep friends with Russia
With whose designs, including Con-
s'autiuoplr, she had no point 0frivalry
but discrertly, and should Steodily
make friends with England, especially
in regard to Egypt, behaving, too,
towards Italy as if she did not fear
ItaIiaU "expansion." If France was
only moderate, and avoided changing
Ministries at the rate of seventeen
ar Mini ters in seventeen years,
tim, would work tor her. The policy
>k tchrd in this speech is impractlca-
be bur it is a policy, and II which,
If ltussia was more trustworthy and
France less susceptible, might be the
basis. ofan understanding. 1t is utter
ed, too, with a certain frankness,
and unaccompauied by the usual
vague ralk Of French honour and
foreign ambitions. France just now
is SO poor in men, that the rise Of a
moderate and capable politician who
knows what lie means, even when he
is iIl-rnfolmed, may be watched with
interest.

JUST at present, the French Govern
meni is not inclined 10 accept NJ. de
Br%etruiI's advice-m least, as regards
aly-and the two Governments have
engaged in II war of tariffs. The
French Chamber has passed a Bill
placing n duty of so per cent. upon
raw : Tx from Italy. the effect of which
will be, it il said, TO close half the
mills in Lyons, while it will hardly
hurt the italian silk growers, who can
accumulate their stocks, which are
never equal to the demand. On the
other hand, the Italian Government
has taxed French iron 20 per cent,
French machines 80 per cent, and
French copper so per cent, and has
greatly rails d the duties upon every
Other article imported. Both coun-
tries are simply taxing their W
subjects exorbituntIy but it is said
bo'h have a secret object in view
France desires, by raising duties on
Italian articles, to deprive Germany
of her present power of exporting
goods, under "the most favoured-
nation clause" at Italian rates Of duty
while Italy is anxious to protect her
ally. NJ. Crispi had much better
have responded by taking all duties
off French articles except alcohol,
and so enriching all his own people
except those who export to France.
Nothing, however, will teach the
stations the elementary truth that to-
pay more than you need for anything
is to throw away money.

II 1SCel as.
(SpectatOr Feb. 25th 1887

Government has stated, through
an official journal, that it never
had an intention of pressing its
claims in Bulgaria by any use of
force, and that it would now pro-
coed automatically. It's method,
it is understood. is to represent to
the Powers that Prince Ferdinand's
election, not having been sanction
ed by them, is illegal. OOnse-
quently, he must be sent away, to
begin with. A similar view will
be pressed upon the Porte, and will
be strongly supported by Prince
Bismarck, whose organ, the National
Zeitung, afirms that the Porte
ought to interfere, and that the ad-
heslon of all the Powers to the
declaration Of illegality is not re-
quired. According to all reports
from COnstantinople, the Sultan
will decline to interpOse, and will
certainly not use force but there
has been as yet no formal cOmmu-
nication to the Palace of the Rus
sian request. 1t is probable that
the Russian Government, and
more especially the Gar, is sin
Cerely DESTROYS for the present of
proceeding automatically; out it
will be observed that the immense
remittance of stores from the South
to the West of Russia does not stop.
The railways are now so complete
ly occupied in Government work,
that the transmission of heavy ar
ticles Of produce is practically
stopped, grain in particular accu-
mulating in the dep6ts to a most

parations are expensive, the Gov

be very ~sanguine of success through
diplomacy.
The Treaty with the United
States about Canadian fish has
been published, and is sufficiently
described in another column. 1t
seems a perfectly fair and honour
able Treaty, and is so described by
President Cleveland in his message
to the Senate recommending its
adoption. 1t is also acceptable to
the ruling party in Canada, while
the Nova Scotians declare them
selves perfectly content with its
provisions. 1t should, Their fore,
pass but there is said to be danger
Of its rejection by the United States
Senate. The fishermen of New
England are disappointed, because
they wished for the privilege Of
buying bait in Canadian ports with
out paying for it by giving up the
Protective duties on their own fish;
and the Irish are irate at the pros
pect of a cause of quarrel between
England and the Union disappear
ing. The Republican Party, there

Treaty, they may catch the Irish
vote; and as the time for COnven.

How Cmsar Got Ahead.

From the Senoid Gao Sentinel.
1t was an ex Confederate soldier at Shelf
field, Ala, who was giving some of his ex-
periences at the battle of Fort Donelson.
He was an officer and had young coored
man for hiseook. When the Confederates,
or the great bulk of them, decided, after
hot fight, to withdraw from the fort, the
Captain looked around for his servant, but
the negro was nowhere to be seen. The
officer mounted log and called out in loud
tones for his servant, and pretty soon was
answered, but in such faint tones that he
could not for awhile locate the cook. Caesar
finally made it plain that he was in the log
under the officers feet, and was ordered to
come out
Cant do lt!n he shouted in reply.
But you must. The fight is all over"

And when the officer investigated he found
that such was the fact. They crawished
out, one after another, each having an ex-
cuse to urge. and finally the darkey APP

him, but Caesar protested:

SEDALIA, No., Jan. about o'clock
this evening a telephone message was
received from East Sedalia to send police
man there without delay, as a stranger,
partly intoxicated was flourishing his re-
volver and threatening every man he met.
Policeman Joseph Gossage was sent. AT
Third and Engineer streets he was con
fronted by the Desperate, who was just
emerging from Behren's cigar store, where
he had shamefully abused the EN-
ployes. Without a word the stranger
opened fire on Gossage. He
fired three shots. Ciossage re-
turned the compliment with two shots, but
neither took effect, and the stranger made
his escape. The wounded officer was brought
down town and his wound dressed, and a
posse started in pursuit of the fugitive.
Among the number was Policeman James
GOssage, a brother of the wounded man,
and one of the best members of the force.
lie was bent on avenging the attack on
his brother, and forged ahead of his com
panions.
On Harvey street Gossage was surprised
by shot, followed by three or four more,
and he fell TO the ground shot through the
left lung, but not until he had fired three
shots at his assailant, all of which went
wide Of the mark.
The desperate started east on the Missouri
Pacific railway track, and seeing switch
engine and three cars approach him, he
threw the switch and derailed the engine.
He then continued his fight, and at this
writing has not been captured. The
wounded officer may possibly recover.
The news of the second shooting caused
the most intense excitement, and Mayor
Stevens at the head of 100 men fastened IN
pursuit of the fugitive They followed his
trail for a half mile from the city limits, but
failed to find their man, when rOrtion OF
the posse returned to the city, while Officers
Dixon, Mooney and Fifer, with several clti-
zens continued on the trail. A capture
means hanging bee. The mans name is
johnson, and be arrived today from Texas.
