Tho Seattle Past-Intelligencer says : The fool who wants this territory admitted into the Union under some other name' than Washington is beginning to write letters to the newspapers again. Ho ought to have died long ago. An American exchange says: The Harrison inauguration fund is receiving liberal subscribtions in Washington, and inaguration day of 1889 will bo a grand affair. It is expected that more people wili congregute in the federal city on that occasion than have before attended a similar festival. ■ A New York alderman has found that it is a praetico of the sinful contractors of that eity to put into the sewers an occasional beer keg instead of two foet of brickwork, the keg being of exactly the right calibre. It is said upon pretty good authority that a connection between a main and a lateral sewer in Toronto lias been made with a flour barrel. The plain unvarnished account of the parting between tho German Emperor and the Dowager Empress Victoria, reveals no sign of any estrangement between mother and son. The faet that the German ambassador in England was requested by his imperial master to wait upon and pay due respect to the Dowager Empress in England is a mark of respect which disturbs some of the stories that have been set afloat. A cose of honesty over trying cir- uinstances is recorded by the correspondent of a Montreal paper. A lady lost her purse containing a sum of money, and advertised the same, hoping it might be recovered in that way. So it was to tho loser's agreeable surprise, the purse and contents being returned intact. -The finder refused to accept any reward, beyond making a request that the advertiser would assist him in get- ting n situation, lie being u stranger out of work at the beginning of a cold winter. Under these circumstances, the temptation to keep the purse must have been great. There are probably many instances of such integrity which the world ivevo hears of. Says an exchange : Charles H. Sampson, a New York strong man, engaged to slay a steer with his fist. The -feat wai -performed with a single blow in the presence of Emperor Wilhelm and Emperor Francis Joseph. He wears a handsome decoration commemorating that event. This fact of skill and strength was repeated at Ems, Germany, St Petersburg, and Paris, Mr. Sampson striking but a single blow upon each of' the occasions except the last. In this case the steer was running, and his. aim was not true, bnt the first blow knocked the animal down and a second crushed its skull. During his professional experience this Hereules has suffered broken arms no less than seventeen times. He does not attribute his great strength to any freak of nature, but says it is tbe result of careful training and exercise The newest thing in dinner favors is a jewelled dagger, not a papier- mache affair nor yet a stage weapon, but a keen-bladed dagger, which, if your neighbor at dinner be not to your liking or provo tiresome in conversation, you may use upon him with speedy and fatal effect. In the meantime, no murderous tendency taking possession of you, you are expected to use this weapon to cut up your meat. The fashion is an expensive one, because it is important that the hilt be jewelled. Without the sparkle of the gem to gratify one's resthetio taste the glitter of the steel will have something lacking. Truo, there is tho possibility of paste jewels, and, if this savage fashion grows, doubtless dealers ill Rhine stones will murk an advance in trade. No doubt a dagger drill might be invented to follow the repast, when the playfully inclined might smite tho steel together. Thus docs civilization advance with mighty strides. RUSSIAN INTRIGUES In Persia Defeated by British Diplomacy ~ Emperor of Austria Pleased with the Charities. The Life of the Queen and Empress at Windsor. Great Devotion for Each Other. The Standard Attacks President Cleveland's Message and Criticizes His Actions. Tho Baltimore Sun lays: The public mind is settling down to the conviction that our presidential contests are fast becoming mere bouts of money-spending. A victory thui obtained is, of course, without moral force, however profitable it may be for a while to its beneficiaries. The pooplo cannot, in the long run, sanction proceedings whioh in effect pervert their will, and that, too, by corrupt methods which strike at the very foundations of free government Venality must be followed by demoralization and distrust. Patriotism cannot long survive as a potent force in our politics if the longest purse it to determine the settlement of publio questions, When It comes to be understood that our present economic system is so profitable to the rich, banded together in trusts and othor forms of monopoly, that in order to presorve it they are able nnd willing to give millions to debauch tho poor, to carry pivotal states, and thus obtain control of the fedoralgoverntucntand its policy, its shrift, it is io be feared, wilt be short, Children Cry for Pitcher'sCastorla RIX'ALLKD HER AMUASSAUOR. London, Deo, 4.—It Ib repotted Hus* sia has recalled her ambassador from Teheran owing to the refusal of Persia to grant an exequatur to a Russian consul at Meshed. Russia has for a long time endeavored to establish a recognized agent at Meshed, which Is situated near tho frontier, and is the harbor of refuge and the centre of agitation for malcontents of Aghanistan. Kus-na lias been constantly baffled In her efforts by England who seeks to keep her formidable rival out of a port from whence tho tatter could conduct her intrigues in Afghanistan with dangerous effect. ME. YATRS* CABLE LBTX££, Nbw York, Dec. 4.—Those who seo thorn together say that nothing is more touching than the absolute un- BelfishnoBs of devotion of the queen to the Empress Frederick. Tlio queen's one thought from morning to night is to minister to her daughter's comfort and to endeavor to diminish her -grief. Tho smallest wish of the empress is attended to and carried out with most affectionate assiduity. The empress is looking very worn and tired and Bleeps badly, but.the rest and quiet of Windsor which she enjoys thoroughly, and which she and her daughters never weary of expatiating on, are already beginning to have a good effect on her health and spirits. There was something very touohing in the visit of tlie queen and empress Frederick to Stafford on Tuesday. Bain was following in torrents as they alighted from the carriage which brought them from Paddiugtou. The, empress wore a heavy cerf of crape which PruBstan etiquette prescribes. Lady Churchill, also a widow, carried a cross of white flowers whioh the queen had prepared with her own hands, Lord Tarbat received them at the door and they nt once followed him up stairs to the room where the duchess waB lying and the queen placed the cross beside the body of the dead friend. The recollection of tho last visit she paid to Stafford House in tho company of her husbnnd caused the empress to burst into tears. Both she nud the queen remained for some time in the green library where the queen spoke ninny words of womanly sympathy to Lord and Lady Stafford, Lord and Lady Tarbat, Lord Ronald Gower and Lady Alexandra Leveson Gower, who were there, and expressed strong hope that the duke of Sutherland would quickly return to England. HOUSEHOLD llEFQRMS., : There is no attempt to disguise the object of the economical reforms in the royal household. It has become clear that no parliament will sanction grants to the grand children of the queen, excepting only to children of the Prince of Wales, so her majesty considers it her imperative duty to save as much money as possible in order that all hor descendants may be adequately provided fo* by herself. It is quito certain thnt tho Duke b! Connaught and Princess Beatrice will be the queen's principal heirs, Her majesty hns three other families to look after, namely, those of. the late Duke of Albany, of tho Princess Christian and of tho Into Princess Alice. SALISBURY IN SCOTLAND. Lord Salisbury's visit to Edinburgh has been an unqualified triumph from beginning to end. There hns not been a hitch. The meeting in the Corn Exchange was enthusiastic and as representative as the strongest toiy could desire. But the most interesting and striking incident of the whole programme was the presentation of tho addresses of 02 unionist associations in the same building on Friday in - tbe presence of over 6,000 people. Those who know Scotland know that these vast meetings and enthusiastic assemblages are tbe sign of fl change that will be as lasting as the so-called conservatism from which they are a ro* action. LADY ■JODiTS' PARTY. Lady Burdetto Coutts' parties are ul ways successful aud nothing could have been pleasanter than her dinner reception on Wednesday evening. Among tho guests in Stratton at. Lady Gal way was conspicuous in black diamonds with her famous crutch stick. Mrs. Phelps, wife nf the American minister, lnukcd charming in gray and gold. Lord Chmwilliam rotated Irish stories with much huuiur, and Mr. Ed ward Stanhope Ashmead Bnrtlett discussed the now chief commission ership. Tho Hov, Homy Whito, of Savoy Chnpol, stated that out ot the 1500 couples which he hod assisted to join together only one pair had found marriage a failure. ALMOST EXHAUSTED, London, Dec, 4.—Bulletins from Rochdnle give little hopo for Mr. Bright. The chronic disease increases and the resisting power of tho patient is nearly exhausted. THE EMPEKOK PLEASE*. Vienna, Deo. 4.—The emperor has written to Count Von Tnafo, president of the council, saying it haa given him great pleasure that the people throughout the empire have acted in accordance with his advices on observing the anniversary of his ascension to the throne by devoting money to charity rather than to pompous fetes. They have in this given another proof of their loyalty. PAID TO COMMIT OUTRAGED. London, Dec. 4,—In the Parnell commission to-day Thos. O'Connor, son of a farmer near Castle Island, was on witneu stand, called by the Times. He swore that Timothy Harrington, member of parliament, paid Brosnan nnd himself tho sum of seven pounds to commit outrages in 1880. THE " STANDARD " SPEAKS. London, Dec. 4.—The morning papers indulge! iu long editorials reviewing tho president's message. The Standard resents the reference to Sackville by saying, "Cleveland's farewell mossago to congress might have' been a gracious and dignified composition if the president could only have effaced from hia recollection the unsuccessful electioneering coup by which he sullied his otherwise honorable record. Englishmen can afford to smilo at such puerile nonsense for even Cleveland's own countrymen will not pretend to tako in good earnest. Vaporings of this kind were well enough while | the presidential campaign was on, but it is post and done with now, and the attempt to exhibit ono of the half-forgotten bits of stage furniture as ti genuine work of art is a failure. Thero is no sens*.', no consistency, in Cleveland's prospective account of a deplorable transaction. Sackville was technically wrung no doubt, Mr. Russell Lowell •?nd Mr. Phelps have committed them- i elves in the same way, though not iu .he same degree. It is no ono's interest to perpetuate bad blood." PRESS COMMENTS ON THE MESSAGE. London, Dec. 4.—This morning's Post, commenting on President Cleveland's message to tho American congress, says if the Americans are really ; inclined to resume negotations with « view to a settlement of tho Canadian fisheries question they will find the English'" mfnTstcfrfi willing to moot them. The Daily News says: "We would regret President Cleveland's acrimony with reference to the Sackville incident much more if it were not for the fact that Lord Salisbury set the example. Mr, Cleveland evident iy possesses Lord Salisbury's bitterness of tongue, but otherwise hia message is n great document." The Shtnnurd says tho message could havo been made more dignified if Mr. Cleveland had effaced from tlie records, of the recent elections hia unsuccessful cotyi, meaning the Sackville incident. The 'CVu'oniWe thinks Mr, Cleveland uses strong but neverthless true language on the subject of protection. SHIPPING DISASTER. London, Dec. 4.—A gale of great violence prevailed to-day, A tierce aouth east wind in the channel drove a great number of vessels in for shelter at Ramsey, Isle of Man. Many vessels took shelter in the bay, but were only discernable at intervals owing to the dense clowd of spray. At Cardiff the French str. Louis ran into and sunk the bark Erminie, of Swan-sea. The sailing vessels Macedon, of St. John, and Beaconsfield, of Nova Soatia, were driven against the pier head and badly damaged. A despatch last night snys tho fishing smack Henry Welsley, of Lowestoft, foundered in tho North Sea with all hands. LONDON STOCK MARKET. London, Deo, 4, > - American stocks have been firm with influential buying. Erie, Lake Shore, Union Pacifio and Norfolk preference have been in demand. Reading hns been unusually dull. A favorable statement with regard to the St, Paul is expected iu a few days, undoubtedly the time of president Miller's visit. Money easier from dny to dny at 3% to 3Jj three months, 3J.

Several On both Bides were stabbed. The in juries of Andrew Scnrrilti, Anthony Sook rind John Carrillo may prove fatal. The authorities have arrested the rioters. AN UNKNOWN VESSEL LOST. Philadelphia, Nov. 20. — Captain Chabot, of the French steamship Panama, reports that 'during n tremenduotts storm about 8 o'clock at night signals of a vessel hi distress were seen shooting up from a dark liulk which was near a level with the water. Captain Chabot bore down on the craft as near as possible, but was unable to get near enough to rescue tlio crew. Ho could distinctly aee men oliaging to .the aftorhousc waving lighteand begging to bo taken off. Ho believes the vessel to havo been a full rigged ship. She waa deeply laden and doubtless foundered with all on board. Whon he left thorn they wero waving torches, but after a few moments all the lights went out. . * -*>_-«> i Miss Shadyside— How borod that poor Mr. Jtmesy looks with that frivolous youug thing ho is with.

Ottawa, Do. 4.—It hat-been announced that the supreme court will deliver judgement in the crossings Case of the 14th, but I have diroot authority for the statement Uut no Judgement will be delivered at-dl. There ia no auit at law only a request by ihe railway commission for an opinion of the court, not on tlio merits of the catt'lUtf M6A the' mere question of law as limited by Sir John Thompson, and thi oourt will simply makea report to the nihiaterof justice for the information of the privy council, Tho government may or may not make it .publio,. just aa they choose, aud they may ignore the court's opinion, whleh not being A, judgment on a auit, haa no force of law aud binds nobody. Theae being the facta there will be nothing to prevent the 0. P.

It wili 'settle nothing end Manitoba may yet be fooled by both tbe C. P. R. and the railway committee. At least two of the judges of the supreme court resent a reference to them which is open to such an important conclusion aa being in derogation of tho dignity of the highest judicial body, ana doubtless their views are shared by- other members of the court. It ia an unquestionable fact, at any rate,, that the conclusions of the court are merely advice to Messrs. McD6nald,Thompson, Pope and Calling that there will be no "judgment" and that theae conclusions have no legal force or effect, Manitoba may well ask of thia reference "(Wi bono?'1 '.
