BRITISH EXHIBITS.
England to Be Represented by Royal Com

mission.
LONDON, July 13.-The Times to-day, in
long article on the Worlds Fair, reviews
the growth and Importance of Chicago and
says it is. not doubted that the exhibition
will in many respects surpass all those pre-
viously held. The paper says it is decided
that a Royal Commission is to represe mt
Great Britain at the Worlds Fair, to be
composed of the Council of the Society of
Arts, which carries with it the prestige of
having the Prince of Wales as its President
and Sir Richard Webster, the Attorney
General, as the Chairman. The Royal Com
mission received a grant of Sl25, 900 which
Is less in amount that any previous grant
made for similar purpose. The council is
confident Of having sufficient funds to in
sure the success of the British exhibit.
In an interview on the subject of the
Governments grant Sir Henry Wood, Sec
retary of the Society of Arts, and conSe-
q uently Secretary of the Royal Commission
for the Worlds Fair, said the grant was
expected solely to cover the expenses of the
commission. The British merchants, he
added, who were represented at the recent
Paris EXPOSITION, spent S750,000 in exhibit
Ing, and there was every reason to suppose
considering the trade between Great Britain
and the United States, that the British eX-
hibitors who will be represented at Chicago
IN 1888 viii contribute at least million dol
lars toward the expenses of their exhibit.

THE FRENCH FLEET.
Successful Naval Maneuvers in the Gulf OF
LYONS

Successful Naval Maneuvers in the Gulf OF
Lyons.
PARIS, July 13.-The French naval ma
neuvers in the Gulf of Lyons ended to-day
in the whole feet attacking Toulon. Min
listers Ripot and Barley. the military at
taches of the American, British and Ger
man legations and many Senators and Dep
uties witnessed the attack. The torpedo
vessels and shore batteries defended
the roadstead against sixty war-ships
After a furious cannonade the ships
advanced in one long line and broke
through the defenses. Among the features
of the maneuyers was the use Of balloons TO
tow the steamers.
The official report of the French ma
neuvers in the Mediterranean concludes:
The ironclads during three days MAIN
taiDed without accident a high rate of
speed. 1t is incontestable that an ironclad
squadron Of inferior speed, if attended by
number Of light craft, can be kept informed
of the movements of a faster squadron and
can thus be enabled TO counteract the
enemy's designs. Hence it is advisable to
provide large, swift cruisers"

STARVATION FEARED.
Closing Of the Lobster Canneries Will Cause
Great Destitution.

ST. GEORGE BAY On. F. July 13.-The
proclamation closing the British lobster
factories along the coast Of Newfoundland
is practically an edict of starvation to h un-
dreds of people. and unless the people of
Halifax and other parts of Canada organize
q Relief Fund, great desttution, if not actual
starvation, must ensue. The scattered peo-
pie on the west coast are also dependent up
on the fisheries. but the most important
question is: viii the British Government
compensate the thousands of people whom
It prohibits from making a living? These
sixty factories are closed down by British
war-shins at the demand of the French
naval officers, without any regard to their
interference or otherwise with French fac
tories or fisheries. The French assert they
were open In violation of the modus viyendi.
