A WAR FLUTTER.

There has been war fiutter in Eng
land. The Cabinet was called together
hurriedly last Tuesday. and a report
spread that the country was threatened
with a rupture with France. The Stock
Exchange was excited, and spectators
began knocking securities about like the
ball In a college game OF football
1t was soon discovered that nothing
was the matter with France; that she
was all right. and that no bone OF con-
tention was threatened In Madagascar.
Rut IL the outlook so wholly free from
danger? The Cabinet meeting. It APP
pears, was called TO consider the expedi-
ercy of sending English troops and bat
tle-sh!ps to China for the protection OF
British residents.
What danger is really to be guarded
against-Chinese disturbances or Rus

Mr.. Con- made the session OF the
Lexow Commission lively yesterday. but
II was not as sensational as that of the
preceding day
One witness testified to the arrest OF
a sandwich peddler for plying his trade
on Sunday. Mr.. Meredith, the banker,
related the particulars of the assault
on him by some thieves in chowder
club procession. Thomas Lucas. the
dubbed truckman, told the story of the
needless violence alleged to have been
used upon him. Mrs. Sarah Brown,
colored, who kept Russian and sulphur
baths and asserts that she was perse-
Cuted by the police because she would
not submit to blackmail graphically
described the wrongs she claims to have
suffered. A witness from Brooklyn de-
scrbed how his brother had been ar
rested and made to pay SIS for having
erected an awning in this city without
a permit

NO PUGILIsTIC IvANH0E NOW.

From purely pugilistic point of view,
It is eminently gratifying TO note that
Mr. James j. Corbett. champion. ETC.,
has returned to his proper senses and &C
ceded TO the determined demand OF Mr..
Robert Fltzslmmons for a meeting In a
squared circle arranged for two. But
the matter Ia not without its disappoint-
ments for the select few who had grasped
at recent straw OF nope for a new and
chivalrlc turn In the affairs of the prize
ring.
When Mr. Corbett issued his now SUI
perseded manifesto, declaring for a
weeks steady occupation OF the arena,
with a fresh opponent every night. there
was in the proposition suggestion OF a
return to the fashion of that ehivalric
period when armored knights met each
other in the tournament; when champion
downed champion, one after another.
until the lists were exhausted and one
remained victor over all to receive the
conqueror's garland from the Queen of
Love and Beauty. To be sure, the old
knights broke lances. while the spe'
cIal,y of Mr.. Corbett and his ilk lies In
breaking faces. But that IL matter OF

ton to see. in the minds eye, Front-de-

IT SHOULD BE FIVE CENTS.

A lively contest is going on between
rival applicants for the Staten Island
ferry. The old Company wanted the
lease. John II. Starin wanted 1t and set

complications arise and no one knows
what the end will be.
1t Is noteworthy that all this time the
last thirgs seemingly thought about
are the interests and wishes of the peo-
PIE OF Staten Island. The value of real
estate there will, of course, always he
de pendent in great measure on the
character of the ferry facilities. The
business of the county can be aided or

crease of ferry accommodations. But

The summing up tells that an army of
