LIVERPOOL IN DANGER.
A Movement on Foot to Take Away the
Transatlantic Trade.


LIVERPOOL, January 1Sth.-Rumor is re-
vive6 that the Atlantic steamer lines intend
to land at Holyhead instead of Liverpool
next summer. This would avoid Queens
town.
Holyhead has the advantage of having
no bar and is available in all weathers.
The only element of danger in rough
weather would be Platter Rock, which
could be removed at 3 cost of million
pounds sterling. The question now being
discussed is whether This should be done by
the Government or by the Northwestern
Railway.
The project meets with strong opposition
in Liverpool, but it appears likely to take
an experimental form next summer.
Milford Haven, which was under similar
discussion, has been dropped on account of
its tortuous channel, which is exposed in
rough weather and westerly gales. An agent
admitted that the project is under consider
alton. He thought that the plan would
probably be adopted.
The project OF the embarkiDg and land
ing of Atlantic passengers at Holyhead is
intended to forestall the plan of making
Milford Haven take the place of Liver
pool. The railroad journey from London
to Liverpool is from seven to eight hours
It would at best be only calling point
however. Liverpool people evidently be-
lieve that Milford Haven will be the seri-
Gus competitor when any American line
of steamers adopts that point as its landing
place.
1t is the finest land-locked harbor on the
west coast of England. 1t is nine miles
long and three wide, and was the harbor to
which Lord Nelson had a great fondness
for taking his fleet and keeping it there as
long as he could in order TO be with Lady
Hamilton in the villa up on the nights.
The entrance is about quarter of mile
wide. Years ago an American speculator
spent q fortune and made himself bank
rupt in building decks and a new
town there. The houses of Milford proper
are now deserted, and scarcely 1000 people
live where 10000 could find dwelling room.
1t is the only harbor in England where the
Great Eastern could lie ct anchor year
after year 10 rot in peace uninjuTed by the
gale. 1t is now in the hands of an Eng
lish company which was in financial
straits some time ago. It must eventually
become the harbor for American passenger
traffic. Its distance from London is at
present seven hours, but can be reduced to
five.

are beginning to have their patience well
tried.
In the Senate, Abbott, Government
leader, made an important statement in re-
ply to the Opposition. He said there was
no reason why Canada should precipitate
matters for the value of two schooners,
which, he assured the Senate, would be
compensated for very shortly. VI can also
assure the country, on he highest possible
authority, that the matter will be settled
very amicably and satisfactorily shortly,
and with much less friction than alarmists
would have US imagine"
Abbott has recently been in England and
has had a conference with the Colonial
Office. His assurance created q sensation
and blocked the criticisms which the Or
position had ready TO launch at the Govern
ment. 1t is privately learned that the mat

Lecherous Reprobate.
New YORK, January 1Sth.-The breach
of-promise case of pretty Miss Caroline
Cammerer against Clemens Muller for
500 600 became highly sensational by
virtue OF the remarkable evidence pro-
duced by the lawyers.
The contention of the great agnosic,
Colonel Ingersoll, was that Miss Cam
merer knew that Muller was already mar
ried, and therefore could not valiGly prom
Use to marry him, more especially as the
cause, Mrs. Muller's insanity, was not suffi-
Gent ground for a divorce in this or any
other State. Ingersoll contended that the
fair plaintiff knew the facts, and therefore
could not have been deceived as to the
true nature of the agreement between her
and Muller. This Colonel Ipgersoll de-
clared to be an understanding that Miss
Cammerer should pisy the part of Rachel
to Rebecca.
Such an arrangement, with just the pc
culiar circumstances, had never been heard
of before in a New York Court, and there
fore the introduction by Colonel Ingersoll
of a letter written to Muller by Miss Cam
merer's father, with postscript by Miss
Cammerer. caused veritable sensation.
In this letter Cammerer pere suggested if
defendant could not get the desired divorce,

out West who would do it in ninety days,
and that he himself would get the wit
nesses. However, in case the divorce
could not be procured, SO it is stated, Papa
Cammerer insisted upon house and lot
being decided to him, and for this purpose
he made visit to the office of Mr.. Muller's
lawyers.
There Patriarch Muller had the real
estate all ready, but at the last moment
Cammerer discovered that there was
mortgage on it. He would much prefer
some money, he said. which he could in
vest, and named $1,000, and Muller OBJ
jected. After some haggling Cammerer
exclaimed:
well you can have the girl for five
thousand"
This sum was practically agreed upon,
but subsequently the old man went back en-
his bargain and wanted both real estate
and money. Muller got out of patience
and Withdrew fIom all negotiations and

Views Expressed by a Prominent Citizen
of Montreal
New YORK, January 1Sh.-The Ereling
Posts Montreal special says: Perrault, Ca
madam Government Commissioner at the
Paris and Philadelphia Expositions, an
ex-member of Parliament and knight of
the French Legion Of Honor, publishes
letter in La Clarion, one of Premier Mer-
cier's organs, in favor Of the annexation of
Canada to the United States, and calling
upon Mercier to lead the movement in this
direction, and to have the principle of an
nexGtion proclaimed by the Legislature
from the nights of Quebec, that starting
point of all political changes in Canada.
He declares that the Americans are the
natural allies of the French Canadian Cath
olics, who, he holds, are being bounded
down in Manitoba, the Territories and
Ontario, where their language is being pro-
scribed and the separate schools closed.
He predicts that Mercier will yet bring
about annexation, and thus unite the en-
tire French Canadian element in both
countries under one flag. Mercier, he says,
is now looked upon by the Pope as the
recognized leader of 1900 900 of Cath
olics in America, as By his rank he is the
highest layman on the continent.

Dies MONIES (Ia), January 1S,h.-The
situation last night as regards the organiza-
ton of the House was very much mixed.
The Democrats instructed their Conference
Committee to propose that the Democrats

have the Craftsmanship of the four follow
ing committees: Judiciary, Railways, APP
preparations and Suppression of Intempe1-
ance. These are the four most important
committees of this session.
They offered 10 permit the Republicans
to settle on any other four, and then the
remainder of the committees were to be
divided equally between the two parties.
The Republicans refused to consider this
proposition, so everybody is at sea again.
But the Conference Committees are at work
trying to fix up some arrangement which
will permit Of temporary organization to-
day.
The Senators have gone home, 10 be gone
until next Tuesday, hoping in the mean
time the House will reach some kind of an
understanding by which it can do bust
ness. Governor Beehr has also gone home.
He thinks he can wait at Waterloo for the
Inauguration quite as well as here, and will
escape the opportunities of office. seekers
by so doing. Senator Allison will probably
remain till tonight.
