AGROUND IN A FOG.
The Constellation S'ps Ashore Near
 Capc Henry.
CADETS ARE ON BOARD
Boats, and Much Anxiety in Naval the Scene.

NORFOLK, Va., June l9.-The United States practice ship Constellation, with the naval cudets from Annapolis on board, out on their annual summer cruise, went ashore yesterday afternoon one mile inside of Cape Henry while try ing to make Lynn Haven bay, where she intended lying for two or three days. It was very foggy at the time. She went broadside on, and very probably lies in a dangerous position for the safety of the vessel and those on board. Tho wind is blowing on shore thirty miles an hour and heavy sea Is on.
 Lieutenant Archer, of the Constella- tion. and a boats crew got ashore and came up to the navy yard and reported to Commodore Brown and asked for as- siStance. The Fortune having just left for New York and tho Mayilowcr being laid up no tug could be had at the yard. and the wrecking steamer Victoria Peed was chartered and left for the stranded vessel. Two powerful tugs of the New York, Philadelphia and Norfolk railroad, will leave Cape Charles and be at Lynn Haven also.
 There is considerable anxiety In naval circles about the ship, as she Is poorly supplied with boats, and storm from tho gulf is reported coming up the coast
 Information from the beach at very
 late hour states that the Constellation is
 about 300 yards from the shore and coming In to shore gradually. The sig nal men have gotten a line to her from the shore and are preparing to send the | brooches buoy to the ship to get some ono ashore
 No signals of distrc ss have yet bee n sent up from the Constellation and the officers on board are evidently not much | alarmed. The signal men and a throng | of farmers remained on the beach all | night. It Is believed that something can l be done when the tugs get to the ship. | The storm don't amount to much in Nor folk

 Nocnted by Canada.

Vocnted by Canada.
 OTTAWA, Ont, June 19. It Is re- ported in official circles here that the Canadian government has impressed on the imperial authorities the urgent ne- cessity of an carly settlement of tho Behring sea difficulty, and suggests that the British ambassador at Was shington be instructed to learn from tho Wash ington government whether it is willing to agree to the appointment of an in ternational commission to inquire fully into tho whole question of the scai fish cries of Alaska.
 Tho government here Is of tho opinion that the question of the right of the United States to the exclusive privileges in Behring sea could be satisfactorily gone into and decided upon by such a commission, and that the report of such a commission to the legislatures of both countries would be of incalculable value in tending toward final settlement.
 member of the government says that the government did not take so serious a view of the difficulty as the newspapers. The United States government, he thought took the same moderate view.

Doctors In German y.

A strange difficulty has arisen in Ger many with regard to the medical profess sion. It seems that the public authori- ties are much concerned on account of the very great number of physicians and of the ever-increasing lists of students in the medical faculty. Not only does the government refuse to open now schools, but also the landtag has shown itselt un willing to allow the credits necessary for the doctors chairs at Halle and Magde- burg. There arc now in Germany, as in France, many young men holding diplo- loas who have no position, and who have ilr vain applied to tho state. Steps are therefor sought to be taken which will destroy the evil at it's roots.-N. Y. Con- mercial Advertiser.

Crime i'm Itnlv.

From statistics recently published in that country it would appear that mur- dors are committed in Italy three times oftener than in Austria. four times oftener than in Prussia, five times oftener than in Sweden, fourteen times oftener than in Denmark and sixteen times oftener than in Britain. Cripe has also unfortunately been increasing instead of decreasing in Italy of late years. Of the foreign countries which stand favorably in 0 comparison of the criminal classes with the population may be mentioned l: Russia, where they number 13 in each 10000; Portugal, 16 per 10000 Norway,
 15 per 10000; while Sweden appears to be a very law abiding country, the per sons convicted in 1885 being only per 10000 of the population.-N. Y. Tele-

Paper Building Material.

Paper for building purposes has many advantages. It can be made in rolls of almost any width or length, and will stop the passage of air because there are no joints. It has no grain liko wood and will not split. It is not effected by change of temperature, and, therefore, has the advantage over sheet metal as roofing material. It may be rendered water proof by saturation with asphalt or other methods. It is non-resquant. It is a non-conductor of heat and can be made tire-resisting by chemical treat ment. By being solihed it can replace wood for many purposes, and after proper preparation it is unaffected by heat, cold, or mpness.-Exchange
