About Washington.

President Cleveland is about to issue
proclamation putting in force the retaliation
act against Canada. 1t is said timely warn
ing will be given to the Canadian govern
ment that unless a due regard is had for our
commercial rights the awswill be enforced as
strictly as the privileges of the act will allow.
In response to an inquiry as to whether the
president contemplated the issue of a pro-
elamation declaring retaliation against
Canada, Assistant Secretary Rives, of the de-
partment of state, replied that it would be
obviously improper for the department to
announce in advance of action, its Intention
in the matter.
The navy department. has been requested
by the secretary of state to send man-of-
war to Hayti to look after American inter
ests there, which appear to have been leopard
lied by the seizure of the American steamer

distributing events at Port au Prince. At
present all of the vessels of the North Allan
tic station are laid up in navy yards for re-
pairs. except the Boston, which is now at

to communicate with her. and it is expected
that the vessel will be able to reach Rayti in
few days.

Northern Pacific Railroad Accident.

Northern Pacific passenger train No, l,
being the Portland fast express, was wrecked
at the Grow Wing river, but with small loss
of life out of what was a most marrow escape
from a horrible catastrophe, The train con-
ductor Elwell and engineer SWaft, had had
hot box between Brainerd eaha st. Paul, and
was some late leaving Braimerd, to make up
which extra speed was being made. This
train does not stop between Brainerd and
Wadena, SO that at the, Grow Wing river,
just this side OF Motley, the probable speed
was something like forty miles an hour.
which is very close to the east end of
the bridge. The switch of this was, it
seems, left open by an engine coming this
way, which had pulled in there to let this
train pass. Into the track thus left open the
express plunged. The engineer felt his en-
CINE, break from the train at its tender, which,
with the mail car and two baggage cars,
went over the EN- ban kment into the river.

and fireman kept the ties and crossed the
bridge on them. but ran off the ties on.
reaching the west end, rolled over and
over and buried itself in the
embankment, killing the firemen, Alex Brown,
and severely injuring Engineer Swart. The
former was. either SIN uttered in the sand or
had his neck broken. Of the cars which went
down the mail was first, in which were Rail-
way Clerks G. M. Brown, in charge; j. A.
Slatterly and Oscar r. Stevenson. When the
car stopped tumbling they found the side
door directly overhead, and climbing out
and walking along the car side and jump
ing off dropped into the river in water waist
deep. The first two named had wounds, but
all got out of the water in safety Next
came two baggage cars, both down the bank,
but no one hurt; the next car, the smoker,
| was only partly off, and none of the rest Of
| the train damaged, and not person injured,
except from being badly shaken up The
engine that had caused the mischief, whose
| switchman says he must have set the signal
| wrong from being ratified at sight of the
approaching train. ran east to the first tele-
| graph station, and Assistant Superintendent
Vandershie, with o wrecking train from
| Brainerd and surgeons, etc, was soon on the
ground. Driven into the sand bank at the
front of the mail car was found a man named
Clinton Wayne, a member of Company K,
Third regiment, who had been riding on the
front end of the mail car He will probably
die. The dead fireman. Alex Brown, was
brought here. His home is jackson, Mich.
The wounded postal clerks are in the hospital
here. c. NJ. Brown lives at 62S Eight avenue
south Minneapolis. The other. Mr.. SLATER.

opened before noon, and the accumulated
trains each way released.

From Foreign Lands.

The latest rumor in political circles in
Canada is that Sir Charles Upper Canadian
high commissioner to England, will succeed
Lord Sackville as British minister to the
United States. The authorship of the story
is unknown.
In receiving the arch bishop of San Fran
cisco, the pope of Rome complained bitterly
of his position and the action of the italian
government He exhorted the archbishop
to stimulate American Catholics to a peace
ful agitation for the restoration OF its tem
poral power.
The corpses of two richly attired ladies,
one of them bearing a superbly jeweled watch,
have been found in Starnberg lake, near the
scene of the suicide of king Ludwig of Ba-
varia. The identity of the ladies is a COM
plete mystery Two other ladies committed
suicide near the same spot in the summer of
1887, and their bodies were never identified.
Citizens of Portage La Prairie perpetrated
a practical joke on the Canadian Pacific rail
way by marching in a crowd to the Red
River Valley grade and acting in q suspicious
manner and as though about to put in a
diamond. The Canadian Pacific railway
officials came rushing up with locomotives
and hand cars and guarded the crossing for
two hours until convinced that the crowd
had no serious intentions.
A banquet was given at the Hotel Conti-
mental in Paris to commemorate the dedica-
ton of the statue of elderly Enlightening
the World" which was given by the French
people to the United States. Mr.. McLane
the American minister, and M. Goblet, the
French minister of foreign affairs, were
among those present. The American minis
ter. in replying to M. Goblet's toast to his
health, said: The JOY that the Americans
experienced in receiving the Statue of Liberty
was equal to the pleasure you experienced in
Offering it. Before giving the emblem you
truths upon which modern social order is
based were elaborated and spread through
out the world by French genius. We received
them with ardor and finished by developing
them. If we have succeeded in reconciIng the
liberty of each with the liberty of all, we can
not forget that the germ came from France.
The modern world gravitates toward the
political orbit traced by France and America.
The symbol which the Statute of Liberty
represents will become reality

town to the center.
 OLDTowN Me, Sept. 2O.-The people here are very indignant over the action of Mrs. Samuel Hoskins, formerly of this place, later of Bangor, who has, with her two daughters and her household goods, moved into St James, Episcopal church in this village, and set up housekeeping within its consecrated walls The grounds for this extraordinary action were these: Mrs. Hoskins' father, the late Ira Wadleigh, of this town, married for his second wife, Mrs. Fuller, mother of the present chief justice of the United States. Mrs Wadleigh, being a devoted church woman, prevailed on her husband to give the Episcopalian society the lot on which the church stands. He provided for the bequest in his will, wherein he gave the lot to the Episcopal society so long as the building on which it stood should be used as a church, af erward to revert to his heirs He also was the prime mover in erecting the church edi- flee and owned large number of pews, be- sides donating liberally during his life to the running expensee
 The church stands on corner lot ill the center of the business part of the village and is consequently valuable. The building is old, very large and dilapidated, so much SC that it is most uncomfortable in winter and decidedly unsafe at any time A year or two ago the members of the society, fearing to hold services i'll it any longer, repaired to the house of one of them and have since held the meetings there. There has been no regular clergyman here for some years, and thus the matter rested until this invasion. Mrs Hoslkins, having become straitened in circum stances, had long had her eyes upon the corner lot and grasped the first opportunity for getting it into her possession.

Take a Superior Subject.

Few adult minds retain accurately consid- erable masses of isolated facts, and it is com monly observed that minds which are good at that are seldom the best minds. Why do we try to make children do what we do nos try to do ourselvesa Instead of mastering one subject before going to another, it is al- most invariably wise to so on to superior subject before the inferior has been mastered mastery beinga very rare thing. On the mastery theory, how much new reading or thinking should we adults dol Instead of reviewing arithmetic, study algebra; for algebra will illustrate arithmetic and supply many examples of arithmetical processes. Instead of rereading familiar story, read a new one; it will be vastly moro interesting and the common words will all recur-the common words being by far the most valu- able ones Instead of reviewing the physical geography of North America, study South America. There, too, the pupil will find mountain chains, water sheds, high plateaux, broad plains, great streams and isothermal lines. The really profitable time to review 6 subject is not when we have just finished 1t, but when we have used it in studying other subjects and have seen its relations to other subjects and what 1t is good for.--Atlantic Monthly.

Brooklyn Bridge Lights.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.-Acting Attorney General Maury has instructed United States District Attorney Walker, of New York to take the necessary legal steps to compel the trustees of the New York and Brooklyn Bridge company to comply with the law re- lative to the lighting of bridges over navaga- ble streams. It is stated at the light house board that the bridge company will be re quired to expose the usual red and green sig nal lights, and to do away with all false lights which will interfere ill any way with the regulation lights, which are considered as essential aids to the navigation of the river The electric lights now on the bridge will, il Is said, interfere with these lights.
