ENGL1sH DIsfRUsT OF RUSSIA.

A Russian diplomatist wrote brief argued that the English suspicious with regard to Russian designs upon India are entirely groundless. A prominent St. Petersburg journal, taking up the matter, says that this truth has been repeatedly emphasized in official notes of the Russian government and in the utterances of leading Russian public ists. Prince Gortchakoff, in the sixties and seventies, carefully explained that the advance of Russia in central Asia was made with the sole object of secur- ing Russian territories from the attacks of half-cvilized tribes and without any design of menacing British rule in h. dia At a later period Professor Mar lated into English, endeavored to prove that a permanent understanding be- tween the two great Powers could best be secured by making their territories in Asia conterminous. But neither the official explanations of Russian states men nor the arguments of Russian pub licists, it complains, have produced any effect in Great Britain. Every step taken by Russia in Asia is still regarded in England with the hostility and the suspicion of thirty years ago. The po- stion taken up last year by Russia in Manchuria is even yet regarded as dire offence. The thought that Russia may secure an opening for her ships into the Indian ocean has thrown the Anglo Indian government and the Lon don press into state of panic, and this in spite of the fact that an opening into the Indian ocean has been sought by Russia since the days of Peter the Great, and now that the Siberian rail- road has been constructed is a neces- sary condition for her economic and commercial development In these cir cumstances, says the writer the hope of an Anglo Russian agreement seems vain.

He knew Aaron Burr, Admiral Decatur Presl- dent Jackson and Santa Ana His boyhood chum had been cabin boy to John Paul Jones. the amous sea fight CT The last time took drink" said Mr. Green, was the day Franklin Pierce was elected.

After I drank my jigger l turned around to the boys and said, That is my last drink. They laughed, but have kept the pledge ever since.
 Referring to Martin Van Buren and why he didn't like him, MT. Green said Maybe 1t is because knew him so familiarity He looked too much like wolf to suit me. Dc you know that always thought, and believe to this day that Van Buren was the illegitimate son of Aaron Burr? Who was he? Nobody knows. He was a ragged boy in our town and nobody seemed to know him. A lawyer educated him and he became president. Aaron Burr lived within one hundred yards of our house and 1 saw him every day. He was lecentious fellow and just the kind of scoundrel that would ruin girls. He killed the brightest man America has prcduced-Alexander Hamilton.

THE PEoGREss oEREFoRm.

At Richmond the other day Delegate Marshall arose and solemnly admonish- ed the other members of the Virginia constitutional convention that they had been talking for seven months. They went on talking. Probably nobody will have to get up in the Connecticut Con- vention and tell it's members that they have talked for seven months, but it is already evident that the convention isn't going to act without what is called due deliberation. Of course it ought not to, and the more talk there is the more likely it is that when action comes it will be of the rigbt kind. It begins to lcol1 as if there might be action some time on the representation matter, which was the chief excuse for the con were introduced yesterday One of them is against the proposition that each town shall have the same number of representatives as each other town, and it resolves that the inherent right of the people of the State to form government upon principles of reasona- ble representation shall be recognized, and that the representation in the low CT house of New Haven, Hartford, Bridgeport, Waterbury, Meriden, New Britain and Norwich, with a population of 351,0 shall not be restricted to an equality with the representation of Marlboro, Andover, Union, Warren, Bolton, Salem and Scotland, with pop ulation of 2,963
 Perhaps there will be more resolu tions against the equality plan, and perhaps there will be action against it. The main issue has been somewhat be- clouded, but it begins to stick out.

REAL WFRELESS TIL EGRIPHY.

How real and useful wireless teleg- aphy already is is indicated by the re- port made by Captain Hogemann of the steamship Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse. which arrived in New York the other day. His ship, he said, when on the way to Bremen the last trip over was in communication with the Cunarder I4ueania three days. The Lucania had sailed three hours in advance of the Kaiser Wilhelm. When the latter ship was off Sandy Hook messages began to be exchanged with the Cunarder then sixty miles away. The signalling was continued all night When the Kaiser Wilhelm passed the Lucania, which was then four miles away, a number of passengers on the Lucania had mes transmitted to the wireless telegraph station at the Lizard and thence by wire to the persons to whom they were addressed in England The ships while drawing apart exchanged signals until they were about eighty-five miles apart, when the instruments ceased to work. On the voyage just completed the Kai- ser Wilhelm exchanged messages with the Kronprinz, her sister ship, east ward bound, which she passed but did not sight. ....
 Sixty of the big steamships are equip ped with the wireless, telegraph appa ratus and there is much talking back and forth between them. Marconi says that talking across the Atlantic is only a question of more power than is used for talking short distances and he says that ''S'' isn't the only letter that can be sent There have been so many wonders lately that we have become somewhat accustomed to wonders but wireless telegraphy is certainly not small wonder

| WikL TT BE 7HH PANAMA ROU1t ? | When the house passed the Nica ragua canal bill with only two votes against it the question was by no means settled. The senate isn't initiating the house, and 1t is evident that the Pan anna route is finding favor there. This route is 134 miles shorter than the Nicaragua route takes but 12 hours for a passage, against 33 hours, and will cost but s2, 100000 annually for opera tion and maintenance, against $3, $50, ,000 for the Nicaragua route. This is say ing for operation and maintenance of $1950,000 per annum, or enough to pay 3 per cent. on 5,000. .000, or 5000, 900 more than the Panama, as partly fn- ished, will cost. Add to this that the Panama route has harbors at both ends, while the Nicaragua route has
 not. and that the Panama route re- quires locks of less height. It is said in fact that the Panama canal can be
 made sea-level canal--like the Suez canal-and this would be a great ad vantage Even including the $40. 100000 the French want for their ditch the total cost will be less than that esti- mated by our engineers for the Nica- ragua route.
 The editor of the Brooklyn Eagle has been in Washington studying the situ- ation, and the Eagle says "No foolish sentiment, no selfish motives, and no amount of rudeness and vulgarity on the part of the advocates of the Mica ragua scheme can prevent M. Lampre, the agent of the Panama Canal Com pany, from obtaining full and re- spectfu1 hearing from the American people. The Isthmian Commission, which has already reviewed the canal situation, will review it again, and in new light The Eagle, with a full knowledge of the gravity of what is here stated, is certain that the report will be in favor of accepting the French offer"
