Another Fast Trim.

New York, July 31.-The City of Paris,
from Liverpool, arrived at Sandy Hook
lightship at STA this morning, having
completed the journey in five days,
twenty-three hours and ten minutes,
which is within three minutes of her
former record, and beats the records OF
all other ships from Queenstown. In her
former record-beating VOYAGE. the actual
miles run by chart were 2 1876, whereas in
the present voyage the actual distance
was 2,797 miles, so she is behind her
former record three minutes and ninety.
eight miles.
Among the passengers were Murat
Halstead and M. II. De Young.

Tne sewer Propositions I'm General

The sewer Propositions I'm General.
Probably the strongest argument that
has been advanced in favor of an Outfall
Sewer to the ocean is the pledge by the
municipal conventions Of both parties to
construct such work. Such an obliga-
ton, however, rests on the individuals
who made it, and they certainly ought
to feel themselves estopped from figuring
conspicuously amongst the opponents of
the scheme. Clearer examination into
the matter, however, has converted
thousands who had a vague notion that
an outfall sewer is absolutely necessary
to the well-being of Los Angeles to quite
the contrary opinion. Many Angeleflos
think that an outfall sewer will never be
required, and still others that if it
ever is, that contingency will not arise
for years and years to come.
A quite general opinion is that the
sewage should be utilized and not
wasted, and that the process is an easy
one, perfectly feasible, quite innocuous
and in every way desirable. Science
and business sagacity go hand in hand in
providing satisfactory and beneficial
solutions of the sewage problem. From
the London Chemical Meas and Journal
of Physical Science we take the following
description of the treatment of the
sewage at Kingston.on-Thames
On Saturday, June Goth, the works for
the tire eatment of the sewage of Kingston
and Surbition we're formally inaugursted
in presence OF numerous gathering OF
municipal authorities, medical practi-
TONERS, chemists, engineers, and others
interested in sanitary questions. The
process adopted is that form of the ab-
sorption-precipitation system known as
the "a B c." and is conducted by the
Native Guano Company, Limited. The
offensive matters are first absorbed or
occluded by the addition of finely ground
clay and carbon, and the whole is then
treated with salt of aluminium. The
mixture is then allowed to subside in a
series of tanks; whence the effiuent
water passes out to the Thames, clear,
inodorous, and having that family blue
tint which marks the removal of dissolved
organic impurities. So complete was the
deodorization that, though the day was
hot and almost calm, the visitors, when
sitting down to lunch in a marquee on
the leeward side of the works, tanks,
etc., could perceive no offensive smell.
The works, as at present constructed,
meet the requirements of $4,000 people,
and we are told that with some compara-
lively trifing additions they can be ar
ranged for population of $4,000.
This same system has been substan-
TALLY applied to the handling of the sew.
age of London and other large cities. 1t
is peculiarly easy of application in Los
Angeles because of the large quantities
of land which require both water and
fertilizers in the porous soil along the
course of the Los Angeles river.

LONDON, July 31.-Lord Salisbury,
speaking at the annual Ministerial
banquet at the Mansion House this
evening, said England's aim in foreign
affairs was always fPeace with
honor" Clouds of war still overcast
Europe. Concerning the immediate
danger of conflict, he regarded the vast
preparation that had been made as a
great security of peace. The events in
Egypt did not menace the permanent
prosperity of that country. The disaster
on the frontier would be suppressed.
England had entered into engagements
not to abandon Egypt until the latter
was capable of maintaining her own gov
ernment in the face of foes, and these
engagements England would assuredly
fulfill. Referring to Crete, he did not
consider that there was need to fear that
the present movement would lead to any
European disturbance. He repudiated
the remotest desire OF seeing England in
the possession of Crete. Referring
briefly to Ireland, he held that the result
of the Governments action was bringing
order and prosperity throughout the
country, and if ever any section of the
peasantry believed that their interests
lay rather in defying than in obeying the
law, that illusion was rapidly disappear.

WASHINGTON, July 31.-Assistant Sec

Great Britain is in the habit of claiming

absurd. The matter will be treated as a
