has just been published by the British
government Interest in the book CEN
tiers in the dispatch dated October 24th,
to MIR. Phelps, in which, observing that
in the Judgment OF the government,
Lord Sackville's conduct has ceased to
De of Importance, President Cleveland
having already sent him his passport.
Lord Salisbury scouts the idel that the
acceptance or retention of a minister is a
question to be determined solely with or
without reasons assigned by the govern
ment to which he is accredited In this
matter Lord Salisbury says, general prin-
ciples are of more Importance than the
particular case under discussion. The
London Post, commenting on the subject,
says: Lord Salisbury acted with due
regard for the national dignity. Lord
Sackville's indiscretion does not condone
Mr.. B,yard's neglect Of decent interna-
tional observance.

A MODERN SAMSON.
SCATTERING Cobblestones With His
Fists-MuscIes Like Tumors.

Professor Sebastian Miller gave an
exhibition OF human strength and deve-
lopment ut the Clinic hall of the Penn
sylvania hospital in Philadelphia. The
hall was packed not only with male, but
also with female students.
The exhibition was prefaced by bring
ing in small, square, yellow painted
pine table, on which were placed an
immense iron ball, huge ring, and an
assorted collection of the best Philadel-
phia cobblestones. There was buzz of
excitement and craning of necks by
the vast audience when the door opened,
and the leading Philadelphia medical
practitioners, professors in the various
colleges, and number of well.known
newspaper men entered and completely
filled the arena and the doorway. Fin
ally DIR. Morton appeared, accompanied
by the man whose great strength was to
be tested, who was barred to the waist,
with blanket thrown over his should
ers.
In introducing him to the assembled
audience DR.. Morton said that he had
been brought to his notice by presenting
himself to be treated for slight con-
fusion of the finger, His name is
Sebastian Miller, he is 26 years old, o
native of Munich, and has given exhibit
lions of strength in various parts of .Eu-
rope.
The exhibition of strength consisted
IN shattering with his fist several pieces
of cobblestone. The stone was first
placed in the ring, and then put on the
iron ball. In preparing for the blows
which were to break the stone, he first
braced one foot firmly against the rung
which ran across the legs of the table
near the floor. He then gave three
powerful circular swings with his right
arm, bringing the blow from the shout
der. The first cracked the stone, the
| second broke it, and the third shattered
it into bits. These feats were greeted
with deafening rounds OF applause.
At the conclusion of these feats of
strength, Miller, who is man OF
average height, with pleasant face,
chestnut brown hair and moustache and
blue eyes, stood up in the centre of the
arena, while DR.. Morton drew the at
tention of the audience to his great
muscular development, which, he said,
reminded him of Hercules of old, in the
muscles of the arm and the great breadth
of chest. A tape measure was furnished
by one of the nurses with which to take
his measurements. 1t was too small for
the purpose, which amused the assembly.
suitable one was finally procured, and
the desired measurements taken. The
distance around the chest is 47t inches
most prominent part of the biceps, 153
inches, with 16l inches around the right
arm. When he stood up with folded
arms the muscles were SO prominent as
to resemble tumors.
