What with murders and suicides and train
robberies and fires, with considerable atmos-
pheric disturbance thrown in, the past few days
have, in the United States, been reasonably ex-
citing, but there has been . remarkable paucity
Of great events. Chen Ole Lum, China's spe-
cial ambassador to the United States, has ar
rived; came just in time to be met by the off,
cial announcement that Of the 10000 Chinese
in the United States only IS, ITO have registered
as required by the Geary law. Some Of the
governments employees ON Puget Sound who
regarded not their oaths were favorably in
clined toward the incoming Of Celestials and Of
opium. and for this Partially, only recently
discovered, have been discharged The great
Borden case came to an end, Lizzie Borden be-
ing acquitted Of the charge Of murder. The
detail Of a number of army officers as Indian
agents indicated President Cleveland 9 approval
Of the policy which originated In the last Con-
gress and achieved great popularity. Death
came speedily and Unexpectedly to Senator Le-
land Stanford Of California, who was q multi
millionaire and truly good man at one and
the same time. Among the conventions held
during the week were those of the Amalgamated
Association Of Iron and Steel Workers at Pitts
burg aud the Grand Lodge of Elks and the Ju-
nior Order Of United American Mechanics at
Detroit. Kansas and Missouri both suffered
heavily from cyclonic disturbances Of more
than average power.

The sinking Of the British battle ship Victoria
by a sister ship, the Camperdown, and the
drowning OF Vice Admiral Tryon and more
than $50 officers and seameu was the becloudinp
horror Of the past few days. There has been no
such calamity in recent years. Home rule for
Ireland seems to be distant, for many of the
Irish members who are annoyed by changes in
the financial clauses are making Gladstone's road
a rough one. Ambassador Bayard has been
royalty received in England, and was for a time
the queens guest. The German elections were in
decisive; 215 members were elected. and Of that
number 101 were for the bill and I'm 1S1
other districts reballots will be necessary and
It ia in those places that the fight is to be made
Proceedings before the Boring Sea court of ar
bitration continue to drag on: their weary
length; Sir Richard Webster was severely re-
buked by Baron de Courcel for intimating that
Great Britain might not abide by the courts de-
cision. An effort on the part Of M. Clemen-
ceau to fight dues with NJ. Deroulede and NJ
Mlllevoye was . total failure, both the challenged
being sensible enough to refuse. Dr0uth in
France and Great Britain is causing damage Of
serious Sort but there is less of seriousness as
to cholera in the former country than prevailed
a week ago. The Gear of Russia officially thanked
the commissioners who negotiated the extra
just then the anarchists Of Breslau aud Andri-
chow broke loose and made much disturbances;
many were killed by the police. At Madrid the
anarchists have taken to using bombs that will
explode, and the police are puzzled. Two
princes OF the royal blood were killed - Q re-
suit Of the use Of dynamite.
