O , .Inly 24.— The Behring sea corresponden t) w hs the main topio of conversation iu C ; gn sgional ntid diplomatic oircles lu-.lay. Tiio general sentiment, seems to pievail tliat so lar Secretary Maine has by far the best of the argument. There is some wild speculation of course, as to whether Great Haitian's at titnde iu the matter in abruptly closing negotiations 3an bo construed into a casus belli, but the general opinion is that the United States Government will win in the controversy, no matter how threatening the iiritish attitude may be. The Evening Star to-day sums tip the situation very concisely, and presents the view that seems most generally accepted here. It says: "The correspondence shows that the British jiress has been misrepresenting cur claims by stating that our contention wts for jurisdiction over the whole ol' Behring sea as over a harbor. No such claim was made by Mr. Bayard, nor is it made by his correspondence. The claim, as very clearly stated by Mr. Blaine, is the right to protect the seal as a herdsman protects his stock that has wandered oil' the range. As Mr. Blaine states, the destruction of seal is a wrong against tho whole of mankind. They must bo protected. Their homes being on our shores, thoy are ours to protect wherever they may wander. There is no claim on the pure of tho United States that affects free navigation of the ISehring sea. The British Government had practically conceeded all that wo claim, and negotiations wore drawing to a conclusion last spring, when as Mr. Blaine says, 'Lord Salisbury abruptly closed the negotiations because tho Canadian Government objected, and ho assigned 110 other reason.' Since then the contention seems to have beou largely as to whether or not Lord Salisbury had actually reached an agreement with Minister Phelps. The correspondence has been frequent and volumiuious since then, but there does not appear to bo any basis for negotiations agreed upon, as the correspondence t mis all negotiations have been dropped where Lord Salisbury closed them abruptly beoause of Canada's objections, and not one step of progress toward an agreement has been made since. By his letters Mr. Blaine has clearly defined our position, and niado us master of tho argument. On the surface England has niado an implied threat that trouble will follow any seizure of Oana dian sealers, aud the United States has refused to change its policy in this matter. But neither Nation wants any trouble, and there is considerable bluff on the part of tho British. Tho ollicers of the United States cutters have doubtless been instruct cd to act with great discretion aud not to provoko trouble unnecessarily. On the other hand, the British authorities are apparently exorcising their power to restrain the poaching sealers, so that a collision is not probable."

ERNST, PHYSICIAN AND SURGEON, We would say to any who may want a Fine Suit or a handsome Overcoat that wr are going cast this week for the purpose of buying our Fall and Winter stock, and we can assure our friends that if there is any nobby styles and novelties in Men's Suits, Overcoats, or Boys' and Children's Cletliing, we will get our share of nice styles.

Finally wo reached tho object of our (rip viz. tho famous "Gray's Rocks.'' One who lias never seen these rooks can scarcely cocceivoof a sight more grand. When you stand below and look up nt those masses of huge vock piled upon eacli other you almost imagine you are und >r the classic skies of Italy or viewing the ro- o mountains ot historic Switzerland man The rocks oover more than half an acrei and l'i'otn the highest paint to t!i • foot of the rocks is nearly --!00 feet. After exploring the numerous ledges and caves we all olimbed to the highest point and there upon :i large ilat rock we spread our table and partook of one of the most deliciii 'n suppers that was over sot before m.ui. The lailies of our party certainly deserve great prima for tho success 01 this supper. Supper being over, l'rof. Lukehart was called upon to make an address, which he did very eloquently, and in ho spoke to ih of separation, a feeling of sirrow came to each of us, although Mr, Lukehart came among us as an entire stranger, and although his stay has heon short yet ho gained tho rospeet of all, '«id wo realized that a true and useful matt was about to leave us. At the close of his addreea we sang "My Country 'Tis of Thee1* and we made the caverns of tho quaint old place rosound with echos of melody, and now the grand old hymn has a new significance for us. Then others of the party were called upon to speak. Mr. 'J'. D» Shaffer and Mr. Earl Petl'er responded. After which we gave threo cheers for Gray's Rocks and descended the hill to lie- giu our jouruey homeward Many interesting sights were seen as ws came along, perhaps the most interesting was tho gas well near Canoe, here our party stopped to look around for a short t i mis after which we again started tor Covode where we arrived about 10 o'clock p. m. Every one of our party felt thoy never had enjoyed a more p!e»sant afternoou: nml now another school term is ended, to Prof, Lukeliart we say farewell, you have labored diligently in our interests anil wo <me and all unite in wishing for you a bright and joyous future.

There was one at least and he of the minority, whose actions indicated a semi-hypnotic condition of tlio mind. This was Senator George, of Mississippi. lie sat for a long time with his eyes closed, making a peaceful picture of of dignity, in repose. When an idea seemed to strike him, opening his eyes slowly, ho very deliberately stooped down and pulling oil' one of his low-quartored shoes, placed his stockinged foot in a comfortable position on the desk in front of him and taking a largo pocket-knife from his trouser's pocket began very solemnly to sharpen the blade 011 the sole of the cast-off-shoe. Although his actions were deliberate and without intention, for some reason orother the attention of the Senate and gallery was soon attracted to his position. It was certainly a strange sight. The Senator is a large man and past three score and his toot corresponds in size to his body aud possessed all the irregularities that ago usually brings to that member. It was not a pretty foot by any means and littlo knobs aud protuberances showed through the cotton stocking that were very suggestive of bunions and other unpleasant things. It must be said also that the stocking was not pat ticularly fresh and clean, and a cute little hole in the toe indicated a job for the housewife. An amused titter ran around the Senate, but Mr. George was entirely ob'ivious to it and continued "stropping" his knife industriously on the smooth solo of his shoe. Senator Gray quietly stepped over to tl e old man aud whispered a few words in his ear. Mr. George thereupon withdrew his foot from the desk, shut his jackknifo, placed it) in his pocket, and very deliberately and calmly drew on his comfortable and handy shoe. This little episode, while it contributed a little diversion to the otherwise dull proceedings, seems to 8 tow about how much attention is paid to the sot speeches in the Senate, which are nearly all delivered that they may appear in print. "Washimgtox, D. C., July 23.—Xo one seems to disputo the fact that the Senate of the United States is a very deliberative body. This Upper House transacts its business as though continuous sessions were matters demanded by the Constitution, and as though such a thing as adjournment were never provided for. There is not tho slightest radiance of haste in the Senate's proceedings, and from the calm deliberative manner in which the Senators talk against time it would seem that they are perfectly content to stay in Washington until next December. This morning Senator Cockrell took it into his head that the time had not yet arrived for a vote on the bill transferring the revenite marine to the navy and consumed nearly all (he morning hour in reading from a report of the Secretary of the Xavy to the Fortyseventh Congress. He blathered away until the hour of 1 o'clock was reached and the Tariff bill was taken up as unfinished business. Senator Vance was the first to occupy the lloor, and as lie proceeded in a highly uninteresting manner the Senators one by one sought refuge in the cloak and committee rooms until there was scarccly a corporal's guard left to hear the arguments of the North Carolinain. The Senator continued to read figures, and attempted to grow eloquent for an hour or so, when Senator McPherson of New Jersey, got the iloor. Tho dullness of the proceedings grew absolutely oppressive, and a sort of somnolent ellect was noticed 011 the Senators who out of courtesy remained in their seals. NORTH & WILSON / YOUXO TOWKiHJP.

At the station we were met by quite a delegation of Indians, the first wo have seen thus far. fhey were dressed in fancy colored blankets and stood solemnly blinking at lis like a lot of owls. After a stop of a half hour for passengers and refreshments we vsoro again under way. The sleeping car conveniences of the N.

Sleep, however, under the circumstances, seuuied iiupofsi hie, as added to the rush and roar ot the train, the confusion of voice and broken sentences of conversation that made the car a veiitaule paudeuK'nium on a small soale—"Yes, as I was a say in' John bought a quarter section of—Mary's ilress with a stripe—Aoross both horns—I could have swore sbo had the—Original Package— With a liver pad—The biggest jou ever saw on—Tue 1 ng haul, the commissi oi don't know anything about a—Maria eit about tel. feet— Ouch, confound—Blmt.e did have the—Measles and—Butter tif'y cents—For a m-u 1 e s n o-r r r- - -t!"
