London, aug. 10, / a. m.-Mr. Croker's closest
ssociates adhere to the statement that he Will
tau for New-York a week from Saturday or
wednesday of the following week He is not
hooked for the American liner OF August "a
unless passage has been taken under another
name. and il is probable that he will sail by the
Cunarder reaching America on August 81. This
will be a week fortnight earlier than he has
assured various politicians that he would as
sume active direction of the Democratic cam
paien Mr.. Croker is fairly hunted down
bv interviewers. and finds delight in misleading
rben and throwing them off the right scent 1t
cannot he doubted that he takes a contemptuous
view Of all attempts at revolt against him, and
that he expects TO establish absolute discipline
as soon he arrives. According TO his own
phrase, he Will stand 'em up all around and
have no further trouble"
Bourke Cochran has gone off 10 Homburg
without displaying much interest in New-York
politics.
Senator Depew finds the last days Of his stay
here crowded with social engagements before
sailing on Saturday for New-York with his son
and niece. He laughs merrily over the hubbub
caused by his third term talk few weeks ago,
and draws a striking parallel between English
and American politics He sees in each country
q strong government ard a united party sup
ported by the overwhelming mass of public
opnion, and opposed by demoralized factions in
capable Of uniting upon policies and principles
and employed exclusively in wranglng and fight
ing among themselves. He also finds a close
analogy between the large and comprehensive
policies with which the party in power is identi-
fed in each country. and the lack of cohesive
md fp
rayed in opposition. The Senator has avoided
interviewers and escaped public observation as
far as possible while he has been in London.
Sir Thomas Upton received a sendoff yester-
day which seemed to imply that the Cup was
already as good as won. His neighbors Joined
in a demonstration Of friendly feeling when he
left southgate. and the platform at Euston
Station was crowded with a mob of admirers
cheering and singing wildly. A brother Of Sir
Francis Knollys was present TO say goodby and
flower girls, with a costly model OF the challenger
IN chrysanthemums, asters, shamrocks and
thistles, provided a pretty bit Of stage business
Sir Thomas Upton had a long quarter of an
hour in which to share his confidence with a
swarm Of reporters and scatter compliments far
and wide, Americans not being neglected, but
taken to his heart as honorable opponents
famous for love of fair play. The scenes en-
were repeated before larger crowd. with more
feryid enthusiasm. Sir Thomas made a hearty
speech, and was hinging his arms about ex-
oitedy when the train trundled out of the sta
ton, while the crowd cheered Justify Talkative
he was his main theme was the advantage
of seventeen minutes figured out for the sec
ond over the first Shamrock and the thousand
feet Of additional sail. Upton will win the Cup
81 money and the best English expert talent can
% Dd less rr-ill
the reward from the King.
The statement made by Lord James Of Here
ford in the House OF Lords last evening fore
shadowing new fast line Of steamers between
Berehaven. County Cork, and America has al
ready given rise TO much discussion and specu-
laion as to the precise nature Of the project
Lord James said the steamers would be built in
this country and the omission OF the words "and
owned" after built lends color TO the idea that
the new line will be run by an American COM
pany. As the steamers are TO accomplish the
voyage in four and half days 1t is believed they
VIII be worked on the turbine principle. Further
"details eagerly awaited by shipowners in
Liverpool interested IN the Atlantic trade.
