Anaconda's System of Sewerage.

Says the Review: An effort is being
made by the city council to arrange for q
system OF sewerage throughout Anaconda.
The general plan is to put mains down the
three principal STREETS to the east end OF
town and there connect them and carry the
main to the Anaconda company ditch a
mile east Of town. The diameter OF the
main sewer is to be twelve inches and they
are to be buried ten feet under ground.
The estimated cost of this system would be
about $40 1000. Theplan proposed by the
council is to issue 30-year bonds for the
amount and go ahead and complete the
work. The plan certainly is q good one
Anaconda should have a complete system
Of sewer &c and at a comparatively small
cost and can have our city in the very best
sanitary condition.

The Queens aspeechn-It Touches Every
Subject Except that Of Behring Sea.
LONDON, August 3O.-Parliament was
prorogued until November 49, The Queen,
In her speech of ~prorogation, said:
"Our relations with other powers con
tinue most cordial. Since the beginning Of
the session nothing has happened to di-
minish u confident expectations OF an I'M
broken European peace"
After referring TO the successful campaign
in Egypt against the Dervishes the speech
continues:
"The conference upon the affairs OF
Samoa, consisting of representatives OF
Great Britain, Germany and America,
which assembled at Berlin, last spring,
agreed upon convention regulating the gov
eminent Of these islands. This instrument
has been accepted by me and by the EN-
peror OF Germany, and now awaits the as
sent OF the American senate"
The speech then touched upon the coming
conference at Brussels on
THE AFRICAN SLAVE TRADE,
the settlement Of the African boundaries,
the conference with France and other mat
ters OF minor interest. No reference al
made to the Behring sea controversy.
II much regret" she continues, that the
pressure upon your time prevented your
passing the bill comforting q responsible
government on my subjects in western
Australia, and trust this desirable object
will be effected at an early period.
II have sssented, with much pleasure, to
the bill for bringing the less prosperous
portions of Ireland into rapid communities
ton with the principal markets OF the
United Kingdom by mean Of a systematic
extension OF railways. This provision will
confirm the increasing agricultural and
commercial well being which has accom-
panied the gradual suppression OF disorder
in Ireland. l sincerely hope the new board
Of agriculture will be the means OF still fur.
ther developing the oldest of our national
industries.
81 am thankful to be able to recognize
the signs Of growing prosperity and the
fruit Of returning confidence every where
d~iscernible."
