NEWFOUYDLANDS LARGE CONCESSIONS.

In the PROPOSALS submitted TO the British Gov
eminent at the bar of the House OF Lords, the
Newfoundland delegates departed far from the
position taken by the Legislature the. repre-
sented That position, stated as tersely as pos
sible demanded the settlement OF all the tfench
controversies on the basis OF the reclamation OF
the French shore. This, in other words, was
to be fixed condition precedent to all negotia-
tion No adjustment of particular disputes was
of any value so long as the cause OF them all
remained to breed new ones. TO decide who
might fish where there was no fishing, or who
might can Holsters where the canning trade was
trivial incident of great and complex scheme
OF industrial development, decided nothing
New subjects of dispute must instantly arise.
A railroad to the French Shore would bring
them along in bunch, and Great Britain had
already authorized the railroad and offered to
lend the capital to build it. In holding that the
only thing they would consent to was the COM
pete withdrawal Of the French, the Colonial
Legislature seized the bull by the horns. The
bull was big and strong, and his mastery mat
ter of the gravest doubt, but as he could only
be managed by subjugaton, and as the life and
death issue was bound TO come, what was TO be
lost by courage and action?
These were the sentiments OF the Colonial
Legislature and Of their delegates when they
left st. Johns The delegates are the leaders
of the two controlling parties in the colony.
They included Sir William Whiteway and
Speaker Emerson of the dominant party, and
Mr. Monroe and Mr.. Morine of the Opposition.
They are all men of great ability, and it is safe
to presume that what they cannot do TO infu-
ence Lord Salisbury no body of delegates could.
What they have done in that direction is abso-
lutely nothing, for their proposals 90 much fur
ther to justify Engand's course than to obtain
what the colony Is asking. In the first place,

From the present outlook there will be no

there appears to be an excellent chance of passing
the Sullivan Bridge bill. A large delegation of

fore the Committee on Commerce and Navigation

4 JACK THE RIPPER IN METZ YORK


There is a Jack the Ripper in New-York.
That he is the notorious original remains to be
proved. The revolving murder committed in a
Water-st lodging house bears many evidences
of the frenzy, skill and cunning that accom-
plished long series of butcheries in London.
The scene, the incidents and the victim of the
crime testify strongly to an identity Of impulses
and agents If the murderer is merely disciple,
then he has achieved a very close imitation.
The city is naturally startled, and there may
be something like panic among the miserable
outcasts from whom the sacrifice was chosen (;
but still we venture to say that London is more
excited by the news than New-York. There is
every reason for official zeal but none whatever
for general state Of terror,
Not only the most important but the most
interesting question Of the moment is whether
the police will sustain their reputation in this
emergency 1t has been asserted thousand
times in their behalf that the man who has
eluded his English pursuers so long could never
have baned the skill of New-York detectives /;
and that we believe has been the complacent
assumption of the Police Department, There
is now an unexpected and perfect opportunity
TO vindicate this opinion. The task suddenly
imposed upon lu2ectOr Byrnes and his men is
not harder than What TO which Scotland Yard
has proved so lamentably unequal. woman
employed in the Water-st. dive saw the muir

believes she could identify him, and her de-
scription is not the only direct clew, for the
knife has been found. Moreover, the mutiation
was as great as in the London cases. and quite

Governor Hill has devoted so much time for
the last week to suppressing the canal investi-
CATION that he has allowed his grip on the AS
semby to relax. The result is that the body
has reyolted three times within that period, and
evidently in few more days it would become
thoroughly demoralized. Yesterday enough
Democrats joined with the Republicans to dis
charge the Committee on Ways and Means from
the further consideration Of the bill for the dis
tribution Of the direct-tax money among the
counties in accordance with the valuation of
property in 1861, when the tax was levied. Mr..
Hill must devote some attention to his Assem-
bymen, or they will get away from him alto
