Washington, Oct. 17.—Secretary Bayard was seen today by the Mail's correspondent and asked to set at rest the contradictory state tnents relative to the fishery dispute. He said:—This matter is not one ' that oan be settled in a breath, but is of such gravity and importance that time should be taken in its consideration. The State department proposes to take all proper time for its consideration. It does not intend to blunder through haste. It is a question whieh has been intertwined through the history of the country for a hundred years; for it is really a question as to whether our relations with Oanada shall be neighborly and friendly or whethor they shall be the other extreme, with both nations standing ready to take every advantage of the other. Tho policy of the State department has not been determined on fully, and can only be as the case fully develops itself. Personally, 1 wish and hope to settle the thing amicably, but the United States must have her rights. The thing to be determined, therefore, is what are the rights of American fishermen in Canadian waters. When that has been ascertained, then and then only can we determine as to what course it will be best to pursue to secure those rights.

At the late conference of the Ontario W. 0. T. TJ., the^hairman introduced the Hon. John Robson, who had come to Napanee in company with tho Hon. Mr. Foster, and expressly at his request fnr the purpose of addressing the meeting. Tlie honorable gentleman reviewed the state of public opinion on the temperance question in British Columbia, and thanked the Toronto W, 0. T. 1 J. for having sent Mrs. Youmans and Miss Bowes to talk to British Columbians. He said woman was first in the transgression, and he was to glad find her first at the sepulchre nnd first in the temperance reform. For every dollar given the extension of Christ's Kingdom 70 dollars are spent in rum. Yet the Gospel is not a failure, neither is the temperance cause. He complimented the union upon their orgun, the Woman's Joariutl, but thought it ought to be a weekly publication. He was willing to be ono of a few to bear the expense. The Hon. Mr. Foster followed Mr. Robson, and thought when such eloquent true temperance voices came from British Columbia it augured a brighter future for that province. Mr. Foster reviewed tho life and work of the W. 0. T. U. at length to the gratification of all present. But when he ventured into deeper water, and made the suggestion that the sentiment of the country was not yet educated up to prohibitory law, an ominous cloud gathered and darkened. A promise to bo one of the few to join Mr. Robson in his oiler and n cheque for $25 were gratefully received. Yet still ti half suppressed murmur of discontent made itself felt, if not heard, and as he set down Mrs. Youniaiif, Dominion President, in terse but eloquent language, is reported to have dissipated that fallacy. She hoped the time would soon come when the boys of Canada would lie as well protected as the Iish of Canada. The country was ready for prohibition twenty-live years ago, The Dominion government found no difficulty in prohibiting oleomargarine—the members of the government were not fond of it themselves. Her concluding appeal touched the hearts of all present, and brought tears to many oyos.—Ex. Miiiiiroas Fires In Montreal.—Kuril*. men! Over llie llcnliuyon Suicide In TrIsoi,.*.Stcauishlp Burueil.

Dublin, Oot. 24.—Woodford, County Galway, was to-day the scene of a disturbance. As previously announced, it was intended' to hold a home rule meeting there to-day, and the town was placarded this morning with posters announcing that an indignation meeting against coercion would bo held under the auspices of the British Home Rule Union, and that Wilfred Blunt, a famous philanthropist and defender of Arabi Pasha, who was formerly a Conservative, but is now an ardent home rule advocate, would preside at the meeting, assisted by Mr. James Rowlands, M. P., and other British members of parliament. Tho government had previously proclaimed the meeting and to-day sent large reinforcements to the police and troops already in town. They paraded the streets, and Woodford was put under military discipline. Thousands from the neighborhood flocked into the town, and the streets wero filled with people The platform for the speakers wns erected in a large field behind the main Btreet. When the spoakem mounted upon the platform, Tudge Byrne, the provincial magistrate, forbade Mr. Blunt to hold a meeting. Thereupon Mr. Blunt defied the polico, who were at once ordered to clear the platform. Several policemen seized hold of tho speaker, who violently resisted, being thrown from the platform. Twice ho cried out loudly, "Are you such cowards that you do not dare to arrest me?" The district inspector replied, "I arrest you." Mr. Blunt was then marched off under a heavy escort of police, with his wife following, the peoplo pressing upon the officers and blocking the way. The latter were ordered to charge upon the crowd, which they did, injuring many. Mr. Rowland, who wns left with his tconfreres on the stand, called for threo cheers for Blunt, which were heartily given. The Fusileers restrained tho crowd, and kept them from making any outbreak. Blunt was taken before two magistrates aud commanded to refrain from holding nny meeting, hut tho Englishman refused to comply with tlieir demands, and was retained iu custody. This evening Mr. Blunt and another prisoner were conveyed to Loughrea jail. During the row at the plntform Constable Connor threw his baton into the rrir mid refused to charge upon tho peoplo. lie wns afterwards arrested. Two meetings were afterwards held on the outskirts of the town, at which Bluut's arrest was denounced. Gladstone's health.

THE 11ENHAYON MYSTERY. San Franoisco, Oct, 25— Benlrsy- ons death hi looked upon this morning as undoubtedly a case of suicide. The latest theory is that it waa brought about by Bowers ti the lattera friends and that letters supposed to be left by tho deceased ate forgeries, does not. receive much faith in polioe circles, the latter believing that the whole affair iB but a scheme to throw ■ a viel of doubt over Bowers case and thereby ultimately accomplished his escape - from the gallows. Others belief* that i tho room iii which Benhayon died wis not rented by him but by others who have thus far refrained from making themselves known to the police ana Benhayon was probably invited there and foully murdered. Tha story about a menorandura book may. bay* been a blind and believing in the murder theory they do not think that there was suoh a book in existence, as it was very improbable that the man who commited the crime would carry around in his pocket evidence wbien might at any time lead to hia detection and conviction. Coroner Stanton said today in regard to the murder theory. Oh,the very morning that he committed tlie suioide, I received a letter from him with immediate delivery stamp on it announcing he Was about to commit suicide, because he was terribly worried on a vital subject. I cannot tell you exactly what be maaat disclosing subsequent developments hut there is no doubt but he waa veiy much exercised over the position in which he stood regarding Bowers case. The murder theory is growing to-day; Benhayon's friends all unite in saying that his head did not contain brains of sufficient sizo to have ever carried oat such a system of poisoning as that practiced upon the unlortunate Mrs. Cecilia Bowors. The fact that, the, ooronor was notified in advance that Benhayon would be found dead at a certain place is fastened upon as a decidedly Buspicious circumstance. Added to this link in favor of the theory of murder is the startling and mysterious story told by Mrs. Higgson, landlady at 22 Geary st. She says.. "The room in which the young man was found dead was not engaged by him, and I am confident he nover saw the inside of it until he went there or waa taken there to die. One week ago last Saturday two rather gay appearing young men called at thia house and said that they desired to rent a room for a month, I showed them several, ' and when I opened the one in which the man was-found dend thayaaid they would take that one, and immediately handed me ten dollar's as a ride- posit. They did not again visit tha house to my knowledge, and how Benhayon ever got to tbat room I cannot imagine. The father of young Benhayon declares that his son waa not a murderer. He says that the papers loft by him were forgeries. " If," said he, " it should transpire bay ond doubt that he did write them, than it was with a pistol at his head. I mean that man who held the pistol was the agont of Bowers." THIS AFTKENOON'S MSPATCMI. CHANGE OF TACTICS. London, Oot. 25.—The remarkable demonstrations of the non-employed in the streets of London oontinue. The police have entirely changed their tactics, they no longer pretend to atop meetings in Hyde Park or in Trafalgar Square, neither do they seek to prevent parades of socialists in tha streets, and nearly all the afternoon Trafalgar Square was filled with people listening to various labor orators. Everyone wonders at the vaoillatini policy of tho polico. Laat week and before they would not permit meetings or parades: now workingmen meat where they please and aav what they please Since tbe police have osaaed to interfere there have been no aeenaa of violence but owing to the general uneasiness and apprehension, business is undoubtedly seriously retaraed. The official report for the laat week in October places the non-employed, exclusive of those who take refuge In casuals, at the enormous number of 01,441. HARD ON NIIIOERS.

SJ, 1 Dr. Dawson, assistant director of tho Canadian geographical sorvicc, has returned from his exploring expedition in tho Yukon country. The object of Dr. Dawson's exploration was to obtain materials which would assist in determining the boundary between Britisli Columbia and Alaska, and, also, to ascertain the resources of that part of tho country. Ho reports abundance of timber, and indications of rich gold deposits. Tho country is extremely difficult of access, howevor, and it will bo a long time before its resources will become available to civilization. Contrary to some reports, it is stated that during soveral months tlio weathor is mild and open, and that inhospitable region is not without vegetation. The explorations will bo vory valuable. A portion of tho party will remain at Port Simpson all winter and resume operations in the spring. Every year furnishes fresh proof of the superiority of the climate of British Columbia when compared with that of any other Canadian province. About a week ago the customary storms of wind and snow, accompanied by extreme cold, were being experienced in the east and in Manitoba. Snow has fallen in some places to the depth of several inches, and people without proper protection have nearly perished with cold. While this state of things exists in the east, we are enjoying the beauties of summer long drawn out. For a day or two the weather has been somewhat disagreeable, but that is merely a momentary chill. We look forward with confidence to tho enjoyment of six or eight weeks of fine weather before winter comes to stay. At present tho whole face of nature is covered with verdure. Flowers in the gardens continue to blossom und mingle their fragrance with the air. Cattle find abundance of fresh pasturage on the commons. And when winter does conic with its damp and chilly breath, it comes silently and behaves itself judiciously during its brief stay. We are happily tree from those sudden and awful ohanges which thrust one from Jnne into January without a moment's warning. Our transitions (rom heat to cold and from cold to heat are gradual as a rule, and the periods of cold are both moderate and brief. Complaints are coming from several parts of the city to the effect that the absence of efficient drainage is becoming very seriously felt. Several of our citizens are now suffering from low fevers said to be the result of bad drainage, and if the winter happens to be unusually open it is to be feared that many more will be added to the sick list. From its splendid situation Westminster ought to be drained without difficulty. It is naturally one of the most healthy places in the province, and it is only necessary to take advantage of nature's provisions to keep it so. We have more than once wiled attention to the necessity of inaugurating some comprehensive and efficient system of drainage, and the more rapidly tho population increases the more urgent become the questions of drainage and sanitary regulations. The open spaces are gradually being closed up, the sod is being turned over, and the imparities which constantly accumulate and percolate through the surface soil become increasingly multiplied. It was hoped that during the past summer tho oity would undertake a loan sufficient to cover the cost of providing ample drainage, as well as accomplishing several other important and much-needed works. The necessity for a loan has, we think, been mado apparent to all, and we hope the council of 1888 will lose no time in bringing forward a well-considered and comprehensive scheme of city improvements. For many years there hns been, a continuous contest in military circles between the powers of assault and defense.' The improvements in heavy guns have been extraordinary, and have necessitated an enormous increase in the thickness of the plates used on armored vessels. Lately the weapons of offense have got away decidedly with the defensive appliances. The 100 and 110 ton guns throw projectiles of such prodigious weight and with such enormous (one that the hope of constructing manageable vessels strong enough to resist them has been practically abandoned. A late despatch from London announces that a newly-discovered metallic plate has just been tested which promises to put a new phase on the offensive and defensive contest. The composition ol the new metal is not given bnt it is said to have resisted all attempts to fracture it Projectiles weighing 400 pounds wore fired at it from an 18-ton gun with 70 pounds ot powder, at short range; and while the »hots were completely shattered, the metal target remained uninjured. K this new metal pos- seaaes the remarkable qualities indicated by the test, it will doubtless be used almost exclusively in constructing the war vessels of the future. The enormously heavy plates of our present monster ironclads will becomo practically of littlo value, and iron anil steel will givo place to the now material. This process of construction and ribrin donment has beon going on for many years, and it will probably go on till we reach tho iiiilleniuiii. when tho occupations of war .ire oxpoctsd to cease. S.
