He also requires that the referee be named after the last deposit is made.

 LONDON, Dec. 24.-Parliament was pro- rogued to-day. The Queens speech was follows:
 "I have great satisfaction in being able to release you from your protracted labors. My relations with all foreign powers continue friendly. I regret that the convention con- cluded between myself and the President of the United States for the adjustment of the questions which have arisen with reference to the fisheries in North American waters has not commended itself to the judgment of the United States Senate, in whom, according to the Constitution of the United States, the power of ratification is vested. The tempo- rary arrangements, however, which have been adopted will, I trust, prevent any immediate inconvenience arising from this decision.
 "The conference which has been held on the subject of the bouutiss upon sugar for export has been brought to 8 satisfactory is- sue by the conclusion of g convention for their abolition, which has been signed by the representatives of most of the sugar -produc- ing countries"
 The remainder of the speech was devoted to England's foreign relations. The Queen referred to the recent brilliant victory at Sua kim, to the united efforts of England and Germany to crush the African slave trade, to the peaceful state of India, and to the sup- pression of Zulu insurrection. The speech concluded with the usual formal coDgratula-

A Bitter Addres. by she Pope.

RoHE, Dec. 24.-The Pope, addressing the Sacred college today, gave thanks to God for the blessings which his jubilee had brought him. He affirmed, with much feeling, his former utterances on the question of tenn poral power and indignantly rejected the ac~ cusation that he was an enemy of Italy. He urged Catholics everywhere to agitate, in legal manner, for the restoration of the Papal supremacy, and spoke in deprecation of recent liberal enactments in Italy. His address throughout was unusually violent and bitter

DEER SHOOTING IN MAINE.
Danger fin Gke Woods on Account of
 Cranks Who Shoot at Random.

Danger fin tke Woods on Account of
 Cranks Who Shoot at Random.
 From the New York Sum-
 Since the recent light SHOWS fell deer tracking has been as easy rolling off log, and all the poor sportsmen who failed to kill any venison on bare ground can now get satisfaction. It is getting dangerous however, to go into the woods at all lately, on account of the number
 of cranks abroad with Winchester rifles,
 firing at random and never by any chance
 hitting what they aim at number of
 persons have been shot during the past few
 months by these idiots, and still the prac-
 ice continues. The next amendment to
 the game laws ought to prove for a close
 time of twelve months a year on the fool gunner.
 Old Jock Darling, the mighty hunter of Nicatous lake, says that an immense number of deer have been killed in his neighborhood
 this season, repeating rifles beiug heard in every direction on still days. great many wounded deer have escaped from the hun- ters and wandered off into the deep woods to die.
 The famous hunting ground around Mi catous lake is a burnt district, most of 1t very open and kept so by the still hun ters' fires, which they set for the purpose of making good feeding grounds for the deer, and to keep the young growth down so that they can see 8 deer & mile of.
 This practice not only keeps the young growth from coming up, but frequently causes the destruction of valuable adjacent timber. A few years ago several entire town ships were burned over in this way around Nicatous.
 Down on Machias river the other day Game Warden French of Calais made 8 lively raid among the poachers. He csp-
 tured six hounds and arrested four men
 for hunting deer with dogs. The men
 were fined $40 and costs each, which will
 make quite hole in their pile. The
 Passamsquaddy Indians are luxurious lot of copper skins. They are not satis-
 fled with all the venison they can eat them- selves, but feed their dogs it, the
 warden having discovered three of their
 hounds feasting on newly killed deer the other day. The game wardens in this immediate vicin- ity, if not so very successful in overhauling professional poachers, are great hands to follow up trifing affairs and bring petty offenders to justice. In common with many other Maine statutes the game laws have a silly streak running through them. Section 27 of chapter xxx, revised statutes, says: Sunday is close time, on which it is not lawful to hunt, kill, or destroy game or bird of any kind, under the penal- ties imposed therefor during other close times" And now because a man shot a deer on Mount Hope avenue, Bangor, last Sunday all the eagle-eyed wardens and over zealous constables in the place are going out of their way to find and arrest him. If he had shot the deer six hours later, every thing would have been all right-it would have been Monday and open time. It Is about time that the absurd section p structed to look out for bigger business than chasing after a workingman who shoots game that runs into his dooryard on Sunday.

 CHICAGO, Dec. 24.-The Evening News says the first real and decided opposition to the leadership of Powderly in the Knights of Labor to bear fruit that is ominous was the unanimous withdrawal from the order last Friday night of the local coopers' assembly. A red letter meeting was called to take place for the purpose of considering this very ques- tion, and when it came to vote not dis senting voice was raised to the proposition that the coopers' assembly should withdraw. It is probable that within two weeks all of the seventy-one local coopers' assemblies in the United States will also withdraw from the Knights of Labor and form themselves into national organization, with govern ment and officers to suit the radical ideas of the mem haTa

FACTS ABOUT FOOTBALLs How the Game is Played 1n Japan
 Tho Rugby Game.


 From the New York Sun.1
 'There is really nothing new in football, |" explained 8 much travelled man to group of friends, as they went on to the polo grounds. 'FThe game has been played in Japan for 8 thousand years. But there were some differ ences of detail in the rules. They couldn't play the Rugby game, don't you see, because when they began there wasn't any Rugby.
 ''The Japanese game was sadly efete. You can learn all about it in the Ogasawara code of manners, the standard Japanese book of etiquette. It was a favorite sport of the court exquisites who surrounded the Mikado in the days when he was kept in glass case, so to speak, in his palace at Kioto, as too sa- cred to be seen by ordinary mortals.
 The ball was dainty thing of cotton, and it was kicked around neat kept lawn by the gentlemen, while the ladies sat on the verandas of the palace and applsuded, and sang songs and composed poetry. There wasn't any ftackling' or 'scrimmages' or gore. If any of the gentlemen kicked the ball of the lawn one of the other players would pick it up on his fan-for they all played with fans in their girdles for use in case they grew warm with the exercise-and would hand it back to the kicker with a compliment.
 "Whenever the gentlemen became tired they stopped playing and went back into the palace where the ladies were and had tea. You see the Japanese game was very difer- ent from ours.
 "When was in Yokohama I asked Jap aness gentleman to go with me to see . foot ball match between two teams chosen from the foreign residents. He accepted my invi- tation and then read up the rules of the game in his copy of the Ogasawara code, SC as to commit no indecorums as 8 spectator. When we got to the ground the match waa already in progress, and in the middle of the field we saw group of furious, half naked hairy devils clinging around one struggling foreigner, who was trying desperately hard to get away with round bundle under hil arm.
 t'Shades of Yorotomil" exclaimed my companion. Where are the policel Set that desperate thief trying to escape! And they will kill him They have him dowL now and are stamping him. It is dreadtui!
 "As soon and as we'll as could explaineG to him the Rugby game, but with Oriental conservatism he said, after it was all over and the players had imped home, that he l preferred the rules of Ogasa"ara
