THE UMBRTA SIGHTED.

The intelligence of the Umbra brought by
the Calico serves TO relieve the anxiety OF tho
officers of the line and the friends OF tho pas
soncers. if il does not dispel all apprehenSionS
respecting the safety of the ship As tho ship
was sighted last Sunday about one thousand
miles from this port, end as assistance was de-
clined. it is probable that she has continued the
VOYAGE either under sail or at greatly reduced
speed. and that her safe arrival IS only queS-
ton of time. The high cost of salvage, coupled
with the natural and proper pride which
captain has in taking his ship into port, pre-
vents the acceptance of aid when it Is possible
IN dispense with il. The Umbria was disabled
bnt not unmanageablc and the officers were
evidently confident Of their ability 70 repair
the machinery and to reach Newly ork IN the
course of few days As two other steamers
were subsequently sighted by the Calico while
heading in the direction of the tmbrla, Their"
would have been other opportunities for obtain
ing assistance if il were impcratiycly needed
While intense anxiety is caused whenever
an ocean liner is several days overdue the dan
GERS of navigation have been greatly dimin-
shed during the last twenty years. The ships
in the transatlantic service arc the largest
strongest and most seawOrthy atiOat, and the
compartment method Of construction has Sc
cured them 70 large extent against tho effects
Of collisions and such accidents TO machinery
as occurred on the Spree and on the City Of
Paris. The trained engineer force which such
4 ship as the Umbra carries for ordinary ser
vice is competent 10 repair any damage TO the
machinery that is not exceedingly serious
Moreover, tho ocean lanes followed by the
steamers are constantly traycrsed by a great
commercial marine, - that II * impractirablc
for disabled ship, unless it drifts far ont Of
the ordinary course, TO pass beyond the reach

ERENCU Tendencies.

An explosion in the Paris Prefecture of Po-
lice follows the work of the dynamite fend in
Dublin so closely as to seem like an Anarchist
echo. But the earliest reports of every mys-
terious transaction there are so untrlstworthy
that Judgment upon it must be reserved. It
may prove to be nothing more than an accident
caused by the leakage Of gas. although in the
present excited state Of Paris it is momenarily
accounted for as an Anarchist experiment. From
Mr. Smalley's description of what is now face
tiously known as the Little Terror we Judge
that the COlcctvists, who have united their
forces for campaign against social order have
not yet reached a stage where they can send
out dynqmite sllirmishers. Citizen Andrieux is
as feeble a leader for the social revoutionists
as NJ. Andrieux, the exprefect has shown him
self to be in the political campaign against the
Republic The Little Terrorists arc at the
mercy Of the police, and are already regarded
as so contemplate that a nickname can be in
vented for them. The boulevard wits had no
leisure for pleasantly hundred years ago when
the Bastlc was stormed and the Reign of Terror
opened
In our Paris dispatches will be found some
weighty reflections upon the evils of the present
method of Parliamentary government 1t NAV
be accurately described as a tumble of the
American and English systems which would be
greatly simpiihed and improved by a closer
approach either to the one or to the other.

Club secrets will sometimes leak One of the
newest is Speaker Crisps reply to the letter Of
L. Ellery Anderson, which Mr.. Anderson, in an
impressive manner, has refused to make public
According to all accounts Mr. Crisps letter was not
so dfuse as to forbid its publication, even in an
overcrowded daily newspaper. Indeed, when Mr.
Anderson read the letter he must have felt more
than ever before that brevity is the soul of wit.
From unexceptional authority we learn that the
letter reads in substance follows
Mr.. +. Ellery Anderson.

assurances therein contained in the same spirit In
which they were given. Yours respectfully,

II Will prohibit the manufacture, sale. barter or
exchange or the keeping and Offering for SALE
barter or exchange Of any SprituOus, malt. vnous
fermened. or other intoxicating liquors, or any CON-
pound or mixture thereof. State agents, however.
will be empowered TO sell liquor, but under such
close restrictions will put 1t out Of the power Of
most people to buy 1t. Another clause in the law
makes 1t mlsdcn canor, punishable by fine or I'M
prsOnment, for any club have liquor In Its posses
sion, even II 1t is not sold or given away. Tile
State Legislature tried to pass the most castiron
liquor law In the world. and 1t appears to have done
so. 1t is, however, the opinion Of many who know
the situation. that while the law will be strictly
enforced against "nlggers" the white clvary of the
State Will still b. able TO assuage their thirst much
usual. If this should turn out to be the case. the
law will raise the moral status Of the colored
people, and lower that OF the white people.

for. All through next year, whenever complaint
is made about the condition of the streets, he will

has not sufficient money to do the work with,

that the amount he applied for was reduced TO
