Mr. Henry Labouchere, editor of
Truth, remarks:
mo one is heartier admirer of
Americans than I, but if they are
judged by New York society, a more
corrupt and contemplate crew never
played their pranks before heaven.
They are a parody on the worst feature
of European capitals. The man who
can spend the most is deemed the
leader, while the jeunesse doree is not
satisfied with aping the most vulgar
aspects Of European society, but is anx-
ious to return to the orgies which dis

They had half an hours talk with
Speaker Reed, which ended with the
remark by Sir Richard Cartwright that
it seemed to be the idea of the people of
each country that if they could build a
high tariff wall around their own do
mains, they could enrich themselves at
the expense of their neighbors.
Speaking for the new Canadian ad.
ministration, he said it was it's hope
that the United States would see that
reciprocal arrangements would benefit
both people.

Somewhere on the Storm

Prevailing Gale Reported to
Be One of the Fierc-
est on Record.

CHARLESTON, s. c., Feb. 8.-Admiral
Bunce and the four ships of the North
Atlantic squadron are still somewhere
upon the storm-tossed Atlantic.
Up to late hour the lookout at his.
toric Fort Sumpter has not made out
any ships approaching the harbor. and
great uneasiness is felt regarding the
safety of the squadron. The Clyde line
steamer Comanch arrived late in the
afternoon after a tempestuous trip from
New York, having been blown out of
her course and driven by the storm and
delayed by the force of the gale.
Captain Pennington said that he
wishes never to be out in fiercer gale
on the Atlantic. He saw no trace of
the ships of the squadron ON his way
down, although if they had been upon
what is known as the Southern drill
ground" he would have passed close to
them. No other incoming vessel has
sighted them.
The dispatch boat Fern put out to
sea during the morning with special
dispatches and mail from Washington
from Admiral Bunce, but she could not
find the ships and returned.
Commander Richardson Glover, who
has received orders to join the North
Atlantic squadron, reports that he has
seen nothing Of the missing ships.
