LONDON SNowBouNo.
The Big City Shut in by the Furious NIarcl
Blizzard.

The Big City Shut in by the Furious March
Blizzard.
LONDON, March 1.-THE storm now rag
ing in the United Kingdom is generally
admitted to be the worst of the century.
London looks like a city that has had a
pail thrown over it, street traffic having
been brought to q standstill, and only g
stray pedestrian being here and there Wis
isble.
What the snow may conceal is not yet
known, but 1t Is certain that many lives
have been lost and much property de-
stroyed. A fearful amount of distress is
reported in all parts of the country.
The state of affairs on the coast and in
the English and st. Georges Channels is
simply APPALLING. Many vessels have been
torn from their moorings at quays, and
along the whole coast the greatest excite
ment prevails, the loss in fishing boats
being immense.
The Duke of Edinburgh, who was on
his way to resume his naval command at
Davenport, has been showed in at Taun-
ton.
The blizzard is undated in some Sec
tions, and at Tiverton the snowdrifts are
twenty feet high. Continental mailboats
are hours late, and Norwegian bark has
been burned in the Channel trying to light
signals of distress.

MONTREAL, March 11.--An officer of the
British navy, who is in the city on bust
ness, says that there is more significance
to be attached to the approaching visit Of
Lord Wolsely to Canada than is generally
believed. Lord Wolseley, he said, will
sail shortly for Canada, and will proceed
at once to the Pacific coast, where, in COM
pany with General Herbert, he will in
spect the defences Of British Columbia,
and more particularly the naval yard at
Esquimault. He will remain at Victoria
until tie United States have given their
Sea question.
When asked what he thought of the
outlook and the possibility of an early
settlement of the matters Of dispute be-
tween Canada and the United States, he
said:
"I would not be surprised to find Great
Britain and the United States at war be-
fore the year il out. The British Govern
ment has been remaining quiet in view
of the possibility of the Liberal party in
Canada getting into power, through
whom, Lord Salisbury believed, a more
satisfactory settlement of matters in dis
pute could have been reached than
through the administration of Sir John
Macdonald, whose policy has been more
in the direction Of intensifying hostilities
than effecting o reconciliation.
Gust mark my words, !" he added, eff
Great Britain and the United States do
not measure swords before the year closes
they will come so close to it that only the
greatest amount of strategy will avert it. -

The desire to. catch all the fish there
are, and a few more, threatens the ex-
tinction of the shad that are now begin
ming to rum up the Connecticut rivers,
says an exchange. They have used nets
whose meshes were 80 fine that very lit
tie fish could not pass through them, and
they have stretched their traps far out
into the sound from the mouth of the
shad rivers, in order to make extra hauls.
The result has been that they have not
only violated the fisheries law of the
state, but have nearly killed the goose
that laid for them the golden egg. In
1879 the catch of Connecticut shad was
reported to be 439, 1881; in 1890 the num-
Der reported was 34,31s, Connecticut is
the only shad state on the Atlantic coast
where the excessive depredations of the
fishermen have been allowed. In New
York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland
and Virginia the reports of the num-
Der caught have varied but little from
year to year, but in Connections the in
dustry has been very nearly destroyed
by the illegal greed of the fishermen. If
the Connecticut legislature ever decides
who is entitled to the office of governor,
one of the first duties will be the enact.
ment of law protecting the shad in its
rivers

ANOTHER example of republican .'fa

ANOTHER example of republican "fair
play" By the death of Hon Calvin H.
Carter, on September IS, 1887, a
vacancy occurred in the board of agents
of the Bronson library fund. Mr. Carter
was a democrat and had been elected to
succeed a democratic member of the
board. And yet every attempt of the
democrats to elect successor to Mr.
Carter was blocked by the republican
members of the council for fifteen
months. Fair play, indeed.

EDWARD EaGLEsToN, who has been
doing Ireland, expresses his surprise at
the real weakness of Mr. Parnelrs posi-
ton there. He finds that the noise
made by Parnellites in the papers, the
show of strength given to him by the
support of the Dublin Freeman, the osten-
tatious exaggeration of his forces by the
conservative papers, are calculated to
deceive outsiders, and it doesn't take
long for an intelligent observer on the
spot to find that the drift is all the other
way.

proceeded on the basis that Parnell's lead

LATITUDE and locality seem to have a
very slight influence in the causation of
pneumonia, according to the Lancet,
"but on the other hand, the influence of
season is very decided. Two-thirds of
the cases occurring in Europe are found
to arise during the months of December
and May, and only one-third during the
remainder of the year. The opinion
that pneumonia is not simple inflam-
nation, but a specific febrile disease,
probably of parasitic origin, has steadily
gained ground within the last few
years, although the results of bacteria
logical research in this matter have
been conflicting and inconclusive."
