New YoRE, August 2O,-There was
considerable excitement at the pier ol
the French Steamship Line yesterday
over the expected arrival Of NJ, Daniel
Wilson, son-in,law Of ex,President
Grevy Of France, and his wife, News

see one who had played such O promi-

Der Of men were approached In the vain
hope Of receiving an affirmative answer
10 the question, "Are you Mr., Wilson ?"
With the aid ofthe steward, however,
the search OF the newspaper man was
soon ended and q tall, fine looking man
dressed Ia a neatly fitting suit OF gray
was pointed out as Mr., Wilson, All
doubt was dispelled, also, when he
acknowledged his identity at once in a
good humored way, The reporters felt
still happier when in astonishingly ly per-
feet English he said he was always
friendly to the press, and weuld be glad
10 see them as soon as he attended 10 his

During the intervening minutes Mr.,
Wilson received many words Of praise.

he was unanimously chosen spokesman,

SALT LAKE, UrAu, August 2O.-The
Senate Committee on Irrigation arrived
here Sunday night from Boise City. The
party consists Of Senator Stewart, of
Nevada, (ohairman), Senator Plumb, Of
Kansas, Senator Reagan, Of Texas, and
Senator Jones, Of Arkansas. They are
accompanied by Major Powell, Director
OF the Geological Survey. Yesterday
the committee held a session in the
Governors room and heard statements
OF various parties regarding tho need OF
irrigation In Utah and the results Of
irrigation as far as II has been resorted
TO In this territory. Governor Thomas
presented and filed with the committee q
number OF papers and statistics bearing
ON the project. Judge Elias A. Smith
was examined and gave detailed &c.
count Of the manner in which the work
Of irrigation had been followed in the
neighborhood OF Salt Lake. The peo.
pie originally had no laws, ho said, to
govern the distribution OF water and
appropriated themselves together by
agreement and irrigated their lands by
directing the courses Of the streams.
The only instance known TO him Of q
corporation being organized with q view
10 controlling the water oil river was
the case OF the Boutwell, Canal Company
operating on Bear river, and ther legal
right to control the stream was queS.
toned. A number Of other witnesses

AN lMPORTANT POINT.

lhe RCai Significance Perhaps of Mrs. May
bricks ExpreSSiOn, "Sick Unto Death"
NEw YoRK, August 2O,-The New
York attorneys for Mrs. NIaybrick re.
ceiyed this morningirom an anonymous
correspondent, a letter explaining the
use Of the expression, "He is sick unto
DEATH" which occurred In Mrs, May
bricks letter to Briefly, and upon which
Judge Stephen placed much importance.
The correspondent writes:
"Iyield to the solicitations Of friends
To communicate with you on=behalf Of
Mrs. Maybrick. You will learn from
SOutherners that tho sentence-'unto
Ceath'-used In tho Briefly letter, and
construed by the Judge to mean darkly
aud an intent TO kill, is a Southern
vernacular in common use among women
in the Gulf and other States To express
any painful interest, however slight II
may bO. She would say, l ain sick unto
death II merely suffering with q sick
headache, or sickness OF the stomach. To
express dangerous illness, she would be
very apt to say, very Ill or very sick"
The attorneys think this Is an import
ant point, and will send the letter to the
British Home Secretary,

nothing can bs done for several days,
