country, which he thought would soon be
realized, were favorably received.
DR.. Muir also spoke of the good work
which was Being accomplishedby by the Amer

Gospel to the destitute portions of our
own country and in establishing Sunday
schools and churches in these regions.

granted free transportation by all the rail
roads. AFTER rev remarks by the super

THERE seems to have been an influx OF
visitors from England yesterday, no
less than twelve persons from that
country being registered at the different
hotels
Among them was Col. Brent Dutton, who
is occupying rooms at the Shoreham. He
has been In the United States for several
months purely on pleasure trip. During
that time he has been clear across the CON-
tient and back and has visited nearly every
city OF Importance.
The first impression which n foreigner re-
ceives In passing through the country, he
says, is one OF wonder at the Immense
distances. In England one can hardly
ride ON the trains for ten minutes without
passing a village, so that naturally an Eng
llshman wonders when he travels for an
hour through the central and western parts
Il the States without seeing the sign OF
a habitation
When all the section west OF the ALLIE
gheny mountains becomes as thickly set
tied as England now is, the colonel predicts
that the United States will WELD an in
fluence and power such as the world has
lever experienced.
The interest which American people gen.
orally evince in. comparative strangers also
pleased Col Dutton highly. Everywhere he
Went he said, he found people who took an
Interest in him as a stranger and who often
Pr themselves To n gre. deal of trouble in
order to show him attention.
This Is in marked contrast to European
countries, where the people particularly \
the lover classes, never offer to do the
least favor for a tourist unless there is a
prospect Of pay.

Stnngfellow, of New Orleans.
Not withstanuing tie fact that they are
such near neighbors 10 Cuba, said he, the
sympathies OF the people OF New Orleans
are not at all with Cubans in the present
struggle. This is partly accounted for
by the fact that New Orleans has larger
proportion OF Spanish population than any
city In the Union Another matter which
bears upon this is that if Cuba should be-
come free, and closer relations should Dc
entered upon between her and the United
States. the sugar trade of Louisiana would
be an immense sufferer.
From s,ihanoth er point of view Louisi-
ana, as well as the other Southern States.
look at the Cuban struggle forindependencc
with disfavor. For If the Cubans gain their
point, tn ere is n strong possibility of their
being admitted into the United States. This
would mean an infusion Of many tn housa nds
of negroes into the population of this eoun-
try, and a corresponding intensification Of
the question. For all of which reasons New
Orleans is, on tn e whole, inclined to frown
upon Tn e Cuban cause.
