WAS 1T ANDRES BALLOON?
Manitoba Farmer Says He Saw
Large GhOst-Lf1e Air Ship.

WINNIPEG, Man, Aug. IA White
mouth dispatch to the Free Press says:
Inquiries regarding large balloon which
was seen passing in a northeasterly direc-
ton on the evening of the 29th, three miles
from Whitemouth, have elected the fact
that the evening was remarkably calm
and clear. Farmer Henderson was
standing at the door OF his barn and was
taking a glance around the sky when he
saw a large oblong object sailing slowly
across the horizon. Gradually he made out
the car when he saw large sail swing into
view. Astonishment held him spellbound.
Again and again the gnost-like sail swung
and tibed full in view, showing its enor-
nous proportions, then slowly drifted out
of sight in the twilight. Henderson, on re-
turning TO his house, consulted a news
paper having d picture of Andree's bal
loon, and declares the airship he saw is
of the same character. The balloon was
floating very low and Henderson says it
could not have been more than half mile
away. He could see no signs of life and
it showed no lights.

COMMENT ON THE DENUNCIATION OF
COMMERCIAL TREATIES.
Editors of London and Continental
Newspapers Divided in the Views
as to the Object.

LONDON, Aug. 2.-The denunciation by
Great Britain of the commercial treaties
with Belgium and Germany is the chief
theme of discussion in the European news
papers. The Daily Chronicle says: 1T is
the first triumph of free trade on a great
and imperial scale 1t is a curious irony
of fate that it should be the work of a
Ministery permeated by the fallacies of pro-
lection" Discussing the effect of Great
Britain's action on the United States and
Germany, the Chronicle expresses the opin-
ion that the former will certainly not be the
gamer, while Canada cannot lose by the
new condition of affairs, adding: Nor is it
likely that Germanys natural wrath will
last long" .aD.
Other papers express similar opinions.
All are agreed tt 1T great step has oeen
taken, which will bring England nothing
but gain 1t has been long time since
an important act of the government has
met with such universal, approval in Great
Britain.
The chief Belgian organs receive the an
nouncement without protest. Belgium an
nually exports to England 100000 sterling
more than she imports. 1t is not likely
therefore that the government will place
any obstacle in the way of the proposed
new treaty
The French press displays undisguised
satisfaction at the prospect of a tariff war
between England and Germany, conflict
from which it cannot but derive some ad-
vantages. The Journal DIES Debats is anx-
iOus to know whether England is about to
return to a protective policy. NJ. Meline's
paper, the Republique Franchise, regards
Great Britain's act as a confederation of
the soundness of the principles of protec-
ton and predicts a general rise of Euro
pean tariffs against British and colonial
products.
The German papers. on the contrary,
maintain comparative calm, with the ex-
Greater anxiety is felt as to the possible
motive of British colonies in favoring a
protective policy with reference to sugar,
in which Germany is strongly interested.
The Liberal papers accuse the Agrarians
of being largely responsible for this blow
to German trade" and argue that Canada,
finding her products excluded from other
land fearing the result of the rising tide
of agraranism in Germany, desired to be
prepared in time for all eventualities The
Kolnische Zeitung says: Nobody believes
that England is actuated by a desire to
&insure advantages for Canadian prod
ucts. Her sole. object was to an
initiate German export trade to the
the detested German manufacturers a
fatal blow. For Englands aim is to avail
herself of the 20 per cent remission granted
by the Dingley tariff to countries according
the same treatment to the United States.
Taking the German press as a whole, how
ever it is to safe to say that no great diff
ticulties will be placed in the way of new

PIONEER PREACHER GONE
DEATH OF REV. HENRY DAY AT THE
HOME OF NICHOLAS M'CARTY.
Had Been a Long Sufferer-Mns Pastor
OF the First Baptist Church
for Fifteen Years.

Rev. Henry Day, remembered by the old
er generation of church goers as one of the
most forcible and vigorous preachers of the
last decade, died last night st 1880 at the
home of Nicholas McCarty 122 North Penn
sylvania street. Mr.. Day had been in de-
Ginning health since he retired from the
pastorate of the First Baptist Church a.
number of years ago. His i'll health was
purely physical. and up to the last his mind
and memory We're unfailing. For the last
three years he had suffered with partial
paralysis. which rendered his limbs useless.
The end came last night without suffering.
His children and friends were at his bed
side.
Rev. Henry Day was the youngest son
of Rev. Ambrose Day He was born May
"A, ISIS, at Westdeld Mass. The early years
of his life were passed On a farm Here
he received preparatory Instructions from
his father. Afterward he went TO Brown
University, Mt Providence, II l.. where he
graduated in 1S43. After graduating he be-
came a member OF the faculty of the univer-
slty'taktnS the chair of natural philosophy.
civil engineering and astronomy He re-
manned at the university until 1855. when
ne accepted call to the pulpit to the Broad
street Baptist Church in Philadelphia pa
While pastor of this church Mr.. Dav was
married to susanna McCarty. daughter of
Nicholas and Margaret McCarty of this
cry and sister OF the present Nicholas
MCCarty Mr.. Day remained in Phiiadel-
phla until the winter of 1858 and 1853 when
ne resigned on account of i'll health. Short
Iy afterward he came to indianapolis
For the next year or two Mr. Day re-
framed from preaching. bur in 1861 he ac-
cepted an invitation to become pastor of the
First Baptist Church of this city He was
installed on the first Sunday of that year
During the fifteen years that he was pastor
OF the First Baptist Church Mr. Day made
a strong impression by his force and abil-
ity, and he was one of the popular pastors
or the State. His preaching gave evidence
of the thorough education he had received
on his fathers New England farm. and
afterward in the University. Much regret
was expressed when he resigned in 1876. In
1882 he and his children made a prolonged
tour of Europe. and, although he was bene-
hted by it, his health continued to decline.
susanna McCarty was Mr.. Days second
Wife. To them were born a son and daugh-
ter Harry McCarty and Margaret McCarty
Day, both of whom survive their father.
Beside his children Mr.. Day left brother,
who is engaged in the banking business in
New York city, and another who resides in
the West. Until communication is had with
relatives arrangements for the funeral will
not be completed.

stem Towards Protection.

BERLIN, Aug 1.-The Kreuz Zeitung
says the denunciation of the commercial
treaty with the German ZOllverein is
Great Britain's first step towards the pro-
tectionist system, and adds: But there is
no ground for serious alarm; because she
has her carrying trades to protect and re-
taiiation to fear. Moreover, a one-sided
preference shown to Canada might provoke
a conflict with the United States
The National Zeitung says that Great
Britain is herself the nation most interested
in the conclusion of a new treaty and that
Germany may gain much by skillful, cold
blCoded diplomacy.
The Vossische Zetung says: 80 far as
Germany's relations to England are con-
cerned, it is a matter of Indifference wheth-
er we have a treaty or not.
The Berliner Tageblatt says: Great Brit
aims intention to join the mother country
and the colonies in a customs union will not
influence her to restrict British trade with
Germany any further than is necessary to
attain this object.
The Tageblatt, the Vossische Zeitung and
the National Zeitung all agree that it is
quite out of the question for England to
adopt protection.
