were delight 10 learn Oh Saturday
last that the gentleman whose name
heads this article had been appointed

ably the high position we are glad
the hoBors have fallen upon him.
Thsre 10 no party leader known to
mo who has rendered abler party ser
vice. and NO one whose steady efforts
for his party's success have remained
more completely uarewardsd. These

Gee, the duties OF which Col. Saun-
'dsrs has ably discharged for many
7ssrs.

SACRAMENTO, March 17.-As foretold in
this correspondence NJ. Il. de Young's name
was to-day stricken from the roll of candi-
dates for the United States Senatorship and
his followers went over in a body to FELTON,
Most of Blanchard's followers forsook him
for Estee and the aged granger of Sacra-
mento, ex-senator William Johnston, was
replaced on the list of aspirants.
De Young's name was withdrawn by Dib-
BILE, who said This is the seventh day of
the contest over the election for United
States Senator. In this convention it was
my pleasure and privilege tOnominate cam
didate, 4 gentleman who has since been 10y
ally supported by those who voted for him
on the first day. This gentleman may well
be proud of the devotion Of his followers
They would like to see him elected and the
party would be wise to elect him, but it
must be borne in mind that this Legislature
was not sent here for that purpose. In his
name I therefore withdraw him from the
contest in behalf of Hon. Charles y. FELTON,.
BRUsIE's CANDIDATE.
Brusie, who has just returned from the
East, nominated William J. Johnston, the
farmers candidate, who. he said, has no
stain upon his name, and is respected from one
end Of the State to the other. He appealed 10
The Democrats to support Johnston.
Robertson OF Siskiyou, nominated Stephen NJ.
White, who has been dominated so often that
every resident Of the State knows his many
esiimable qualities of mind and heart
Wetmore's support, composed Of Assemblyman
Fowler, had very harmonious and enthusiastic
caucus this morning and voted unanimously TO
transfer its Influence and vote 10 Estee.

GIBRALTAR, March IT, - The British
steamship Utopia, from Italian ports, bound
to New York, with 700 italian emgrants
aboard, collided to-day with the British
ironclad Rodney, which was anchored in
Gibraltar Bay, and sank soon after. A
southeast gale was blowing at the time.
Man7 women and children were drowned.
A large number who were clinging to the
rigging have been rescued by boats from
the channel squadron. Intense excitement
prevails on shore.
On entering the bay the Utopia, before
colliding with the Rodney. ran into the Brit
ish ironcIad Anson. The Utopia sank with
in few minutes. Boats were Immediately
lowered from the British ironclads and also
from the Swedish man-0f-war Freya. These
boats rescued $50 persons, who are now on
board the various vessels. Many others
who were rescued we're lodged in the Gov
ernment buildings on shore. 1t is reported
that the crew of the Utopia were saved, but
that over 200 passengers perished.
NEW YORK, March 1.-THE Utopia
which was wrecked in Gibraltar Bay, be-
longed to the Anchor Line Steamship Com

foundland nto the Union.
MONTREAL, March IA private letter
has been received here from a Government
official at ST. John. Newfoundland, which
says of the existing difficulties: at is
known that England has arrived at no
agreement with France in the settlement of
our difficulties, but instead has consented to
arbitrate the question Of French rights to
build lobster factories on the coast. which
never have even been claimed By France,
and England has or will refuse to ratify our
commercial treaty with the United States.
The day for reconciliation Is now past, and
movement is now on foot. not tor reel
procity, but for admission into the American
Union. We have had too much experience
with British injustice to seek more by enter
ing into the Canadian federation. The peo-
Pile are not alone in this matter, but have the
support of many members of both Govern
ments. What is more, 1t is almost an open
secret that the delegation now preparing to
visit Washington will gauge the feeling and
see whether the terms for this could be
brought about"
PARIS, March 1.-THE preamble OF the
Newfoundland bill, which was laid on the
table in the Senate to-day, says that France
has protested frequently against the English
lobster factories on the French shore rs con-
trary to existing treaties. The arbitration,
it is added, ought to result in lasting condi-
ti"ns which will satisfy Newfoundland.

arbitration as a means of the settlement of
the Newfoundland lobster controversy be-
tween that country and England, think it
satisfactory and just what Newfoundland
should desire.
