DR.. pALToN's LECTURE.
The Probable Relation and Growth
of Races

Don't prophesy unless you know" This,
said the Doctor, Is good advice, and so far as
applicable to nations requires US to rely on
statistics. What do they show? First, that
the Latin races have declined, and the Teu-
tonic steadily advanced. for three hundred
years. The probability OF the future then Is
In this direction. The Teutonic races in
clude. OF course. the English and American
(mostly). One hundred years ago the En-
glish speaking races were twelve per cent, OF
one-eighth Of the European or civilized ma
tions. Today, they are thirty-three per cent
or one-third. They were eighteen millions
and are one hundred and eighteen millions.
The United States alone. in one hundred
years, will have from four to five hundred
millions, and in two hundred years, more
than the present population of the globe,
(,ixteen hundred milions). England and
her colonies will grow in proportion. in all of
which the Irish will lhave prominent pant.
DR.. Dalton proceeded to discuss the Euro
pean situation, showing The peculiar perlls
OF each power. England in her relations to
France and Russia. Ffance as between Eng-
land and Germany, Germany between France
and Russia, Austria and Italy ditto; Rus
sia's relations to England. Germany and
China, the possibility Of China becoming a
great power, threatening the western ma
tlons; and finally the relative resources Of
the races known as Slqvs, Latin and leu.
tons.
The conclusion is that Russia will rule
the Chinese out of Europe, aud over them
more or less in China; but. In her turn, will
be restrained from advancing westward, by
the rentons, who will also resist all Latin
aggreSsions as Ia the late Franco German
war. In brief, the TeutOnic races will be
easily the first, unless they fall to fighting
each other. That event might reduce them
to second place, or even ruin ALL

the stern Of the Lisbonenese. Both vessels
escaped serious injury, and no person was
hurt. After the collision the Lisbonenese
proceeded on her way TO her dock at Brook
lyn.
Captain Boyer, of La Champagne,
says; I'VE sighted the Lisbonenese coming
towards us quite speedily. Our pilot sig-
nailed the other vessel that we would cross
her bow, we having the right of way. The
other vessel answered that she would cross
our bow. gave the signal to stop my ship.
The vessels approached each other steadily,
and finally came together. 1t was very dark

GEN. BUTLER ONLY SMILED
When Accused OF sharo Practice by
the Opposing Counsel.

General Butler as counsel, Joe V. Meigs
as witness, models Of railroad wheels and
rails, and big blackboard covered with
mysterious characters and diagrams, proved
a sufficient attraction to draw a large crowd
in the stuffy little room occupied by the
United States District Court Thursday
morning in Boston. The matter being con-
sidered was the claim Of James O'Reilly for
$4,000 against the Boston & Albany rail-
road for injuries sustained In an accident
which occurred near Springfield in 1857.
While Mr.. Meigs was giving his testimony
A. A. Strout, counsel for the defendant cor
poratioD, intimated pretty strongly that the
witness was answering question. not In ac-
cordance with his own knowledge OF the
matter, but in obedience to instructions re-
ceived from General Butler. This provoked
an angry retort from the general, who said
the answer was based on the testimony OF a
witness for the defense. whose exact testi-
mony he had obtained from a copy Of the
stenographic report.
"Yes," said Mr.. Strout, I'VE permitted
you to have the use Of our stenograpnic re
port. on condition that you would share the
cost. You agreed to pay half the expense,
but you won't even do that"

body laughed
