While the statement la correct, it is also true that is was contemplated that the canal was about to be constructed at the time the treaty was negotiated and that the survey therefore was tb«o made, and that thereby three years have elapsed without Great Britian rendering the consideration on which the treaty was based, and this failure wo think affects the treaty in the same manner that a failure by Great Britain t • give the consideration within a definite time, had one been fixed by the convention, would have af- HELDBYTHEFRENCH FREEZING OUT PAIN SARAH'S ANGER.

Washington, Dec. 31.— Mr. Kendall, of Pennsylvania, endeavored to obtain unanimous consent to parniit the call of stated for the introduction of bills for reference, but objection was made. Then followed a long controversy over a proposition by Mr. Geddes, of Ohio, to pay to discharged employes a month's extra salary to compensate them for coming from their homes at tho opening of the session and returning thereto. Finally, after a statement, by Mr. Cobb, of Indiana, t nat employes who performed tho work during the last session were removed and others put in their places, doing no work, the resolution was, 011 motion of Mr. Reagan, of Texas, referred to the committee on accounts, with instructions to inquire into the truth of Mr. Cobb's allegation. A report from the committee on rules, increasing the membership on certain committees, so as to swell the aggregate to fifty one, was discussed nuil adopted. Mr. Horr, of Michigan, made a semi humorous speech in opposition to the creation of a committee on rivers and harbors. Ho.no Koko, Dec. 31.—The French turem have captured the principal outposts of Sontay, embracing five strongly fortified yiD lages. The enemy made a stubborn resistance. The French loss was 300 men and 15 officers killed and wounded. Admiral Cour» bet, who commanded the expedition, has 7,000 men, of which 4,000 engaged in His action, tip balance being held in resegre. The Chinese still hold the fortress of Sontay.

Lord Granville is cor- ob grammar. rect in saying that I stated in my instructions to you of May 8th, 188"), that her majesty's government was not called upon either to admit or to deny the views therein expressed as to Monroe doctrine, and this was so for the reason there given, to wit: Because her majesty's government placed no time to Join in tho protection of the Inter Oceanic canal in a treaty which, if binding, certainly modified the Monroe doctrine: but the fact that this government, for a promised consideration, modified by treaty what is called the Monroe doctrine, I think does not In any manner affect th.it doctrine after the treaty has fallen, because of its infraction, and because of tho failure of the consideration contemplated. The committee appointed to conduct the •lection of members on the Permanent Certificate Committee reported that J. Frank Nuss of Wyoming* D. W. Dodson, of Wansmie, H. L. Morgan, of Foster, A. W.

New York, Dec. 21.—A d.npatoh from Montreal say* that daring the excitement concerning the Graphic company last Monday and Tuesday r several rhareholders sold their stock a', exceedingly law prices. Strasting Brothers, brokers, and Geo. W. Bimp son & Co., bankers, bought nil that wa» offered and it has since been discovered that they were actio; for J. W. Hinckley, the chairman of the board of directors of the Graphic company. This denounient create; the suspicion that Mr. Hinckley has l«on winking at the attacks upon that company and adverse litigation in the hope that it would give him a chance to "gobble up" the entire concern. Mr. Hincklcy's friends strenuously deny any such attempt upon his part, insisting that he is buying stock simply because lie thinks it cheap, and that he lias a perfect right to take advantage of a favorable opportunity. The Graphic Company. The first outcomo of t his abominable book was a duel Wednesday between Octavo Mirbeau, who wrote a scathing criticism of the book, and M. Paul Bonentain, who wrote the prefaco to the memoirs. M. Bonnetain received two slight wounds. M. Bonnetain's seconds were Princo Karageorgevitch and the Marquis de Talleyrand. The duel bogun in tho morning by the men was continued in the afternoon by the women, and under the most unique circumstances. In the afternoon Prof. Uariis, of the Keystone 4qp4eiuy, gave a brief address, giving encouragement to the teachers. Pref. L. B.

Granville says that her majesty's government have reached the conclusion that a prolongation of this discussion is not likely to lead to any practical result, anil also says that Great Britain has large  sions and great commercial interests which render any means of unobstructed and rapid access from the Atlantic to the Pacific a matter of the greatest importance to Great Britain. Mr. Springer, of Illinois, argued that if the improvement of the Mississippi river was left in charge of the river and harbor committee it would be made a pack mule, to carry improvements of all the little rivers. He moved an amendment creating a committee on the levees and improvement of the Mississippi river, to whom all matters relating to the improvement of the Mississippi river shall be referred, with the satin power to report appropriations as possessed by the appropriations and river and harbor committees. Disagreed to, and the original report creating the river ami harbor committee was adopted.

London, Dec. 21.—Government official* have lately been kept busy denying disquieting rumors however, refuse to be put at rest and pertinaciously return to tho surface with additional details which require supplementary denials. "Toose dreadful Fenians" have kept timid Londoners in a ferment for a week, and tho other day, when extrordinary police precautions were taken at Hawarden for Mr. Gladstone's safety, the police made haste to say that they had no information of any plot against the premier's life and had OHly acted on vague rumors. Now the police declare that the principal menaces of which they have been informed are directed against the home secretary, Sir William Vernon Harcourf, the only man in England who could have respited O'Donnell. Meanwhile Maurice Bernhardt, assuming tlid obligation of avengiug his mother's honor, hastened to the apartment of M. Bonnetain, bdMluding that he bad already gone out to fight a duel with M. Mirlwau, he changed his mind and went to No. 9 Rue de Thann where Marie Colombier resides. In the conclusion of the discussion you may soy to Lord Gt'auvillo that tho government fully appreciates the importance to Great Britain of an unobstructed and rapid access from ocean to ocean, and has no disposition, as stated in my instructions to you, May 8, 1882, to impede Great Britain in the enjoyment of such ail access; and that this government believes that the two nations wgll indue time reach u satisfactory solution of the questions that have been considered in this correspondence. You may read this instruction to Lord Granville and leave a copy of it with him should he desire it. From Savant's Journal The Coal Trad*. The anthracite coal trade may be set down as being iu slightly improved condition ; this »tat* of affairs is likely to continue iu ii.ereasing proportions, with anything like the ordinary wiuter temperature to be expected at thia season of, the year. The change in the weather coupled with the short time at the mines may bring about more steadiness in prices than was anticipated, this wiuter. An a matter of fact, stocks of anthracite aro not large, at any joint of the country v. here supplies eould possibly bo received in the winter months. The tonnago to the first of December was aomo 29,700,000 tons, as against 26,- 520,557 torn to the same period last year. In Dec. last year there was an output of 2,599,- 439 tone in twenty-live days; therefore in proportion, the mouth of December this year will give ua but 1,600,000 tons. It will then be upparent that our total for 1883 is some 31,300,000 tons, or an increase of 2,200,000 tons. Inasmuch as 1,400,010 toas of thia increase waa obtained before June of this year, it will be seen that there has been a great deal of unneceaaary alarm about the inareascd output. In any event, it puts the markot in good shape tor next year to have so much less coal on hand than we expected. With the suspensions in the wiuter months of sufficient exteut, a solid basis is formed for beginning the shipping seasen of 1884. There is a very good trade at all the interior pointa and coal is now moving off quite briskly. Connecticut's Parallel Road. New Havkn, Ct., Doc. 21.—'The belief is gaining ground that Mr. Vanderbilt ma; be interested in the now parallel road, a scheme recently advertised in a Meriden newspaper. The reasons for this may be found in the friendly relations existing between the Cousolidated road and the New York and New England, and a desire on the part of the Boston and Albany for a direct connection with New Tork, fearing that direct passenger traffic might lie diverted at Hartford instead of going via the Boston and Albany at Spri. gfield, as at present. President Wartrous thinks it improbable that the road will be built, unless in the event of a does alliance between the Consolidated road and the New York and New England road, and probably not then. Mr. Kicfer, of Ohio, called up the pending resolution ci-eating a committee on womun suffrage, which was opiDosed by Mr. Keagan, of Texas, and warmly advocated by Mr. Belford, of Colorado. Mr. Kiefer also urg«d the adoption of the resolution. By a yea and nay vote the resolution was defeated.—Yeas, 88; nays, 124. Mr. Hoblitzell, of Maryland, from tho select committee to consider the subject, reported a resolution requesting the president to issue a proclamation recommending special observation of tho centennial anniversary of the surrender of his commission by General 'Washington, December 23, 1783. Unanimously adopted. On motion of Mr. Morrison it was ordered that when the house adjourn it be to meet on Monday, with an understanding that no business shall be done on that day beyond tho announcement of committees. "1 shall not lower myself by striking a woman," said he to her, "but I warn you if you talk any more about my mother vous aures affair* a moi." Maurice then went Mora*. ~fw-i Meanwhile Sarah Bernhardt, with her blood thoroughly aroused and too impatient to wait for legal technicalities to suppres) the book, took justice in her own hands and sallied forth, armed, not with a sword, nor a revolver, nor a mitrailleuse, but with o plain, stout horsewhip. Humors Regarding the Chairman- ship of the Committees. Washington, Dec. 31.—Tho talk about the capital today regai-ding the committees is that Mr. Blackburn is to be given tho chairmanship of the new committee on Rivers and harbors, and that Mr. Cox will be put at the head of the new committee on American shipbuilding and sliipowning. If Mr. Cox is thus to be disposed of, it will be done in order to place Perry Belmont at the head of foreign affairs. Representative Morrison, who in credited with being the secret adviser or Speaker Carlisle, is said to be earnestly in favor of giving Belmont this place for the reason, as the story goes, that August Belmont Ifou intimated that hs thinks Mr. Morrison will be a strong candidate for the presidency. As the president&l boo is buzzing about Mr. Morrison, his advocacy of the claims of Perry Belmont for the chairmanship of the committee on foreign affairs excites no surprise. Events seem to show that the police did have some reason to believe that Sir Vernon was to bo attacked. Again the grounds and castle at Hawarden have swarmed with policemen, in and out of uniform, the occasion being a dinner given- by Mj. Gladstone, at which the home secretary was the chief guest, the rest of the company including Mr. Hugh C. Childers, chancellor of the exchequer, and a score of other notable gentlemen, several of whom are also members of the cabinet. The invitations for the dinner were issued a month ago and the date was fixed without the slightest reference to O'Donnsll's execution, but the police evidently thought that this gathering would be bait for the "avengers," and everything in and around Hawarden Castle was sedulously guarded during the night. Detectives from Scotland yard were as numerous in the castle as the footmen whose livery tbey copied, the grounds were scoured by policemen who looked like underkeepers with wary eyes for poachers.  Sarah drove straight to the apartment of Marie Colombier. At the moment of her departure Sarah, boiling over with fury, did not conceal what she meant to do, and ber friends present—namely, Mile. Antonine, MM Jean Rlchepin and Kirbirnhardt— who knew well where a woman's anger txtgins, but not at all where it ends, also jumped into a carriage and followed Sarah. Washington, Dec. 21.—Co umander A. H. McCormick, commanding the United States steamship Essex, in a report to the navy department dated Nagasaki, Japan, October 30, commends Oeorge Hittinger, apprentice of thr.t vessel, for his gallantry ia resetting front drowning a eraar sMpatale wit* had jumped ever hoard with the iuteutieu of committing suicide. Thomas McLerraau, second ciass fireman, had exhibited suicidal tendencies to such an extent that ha was being quietly guarded by his messmates. On the night of Oatober 25, he went to the forcastlu and from there jumped overboard. Hittinger, who who was .ware of his intentions, immediately jumped after him and supported him in the water until assistance c.mld be rendered. A. Young Tar's Bravery. POWDER Mr. Henley, of California, asked but failed to obtain leave to introduce a bill prepared by the Pacific coast members amendatory of the Chinese immigration act. Arrived at the Rue de Thann, Sarah glided up the staircase and rang the bell. The momeat the servant opened the door she darted like lightning into the salon, and suddenly found herself face to face with Marie Colombier. The two women for an inftant eyed each other, then like a hungry tigress Sarah sprang at Marie Colombier, vociferating murderous epithets, and la lied her adversary straight across the face with her whip. The house adjourned until Monday Bills Presented In the Senate. Washington, Dec. 21.—Among the bills presonted in the senate were the following: By Mr. Cullum—to establish a board of railroad commissioners to regulate inter state commerce, anil for other purjioses; by Mr. Haulsbliry—to amend the act relating to longevity pay to certain officers in the navy; by Mr. Dolph—to prevent practical difficulties arising with regard to the discharge of vessels within collection districts and not, within tho limits of ports of entry; by Mr. Bowen—for tho payment of claims for depredations committed by the -Ute Indians; by Mr. Blair—to fix the rank of certain retired officers of the nrmy, also for the erection of a public building at Manchester, N.

Hubbard, of Cobleskill, Scholiario county, N. Y., entered a restaurant here and, dropping a traveling bag containing soiled linen, said: "I have to fight a duel with knives pretty soon, aud if I fall send this to my father." He then hastily left, and, going to George A. Graves' hardware store, examined some revolvers, but found none to suit him. At 5 o'clock he returned and selected a thirty two calibre, five barrelled revolver of the bulldog pattern, aud turned his hand as if to put the weapon iu his inside coat pocket, when it was discharged. The ball entered just above the left nipple, went through the lung and came out at the back, and then went crashing through the glass of a show case in which it was sebsequently found. The news spread rapidly and soveral hundred people gathered at the entrance, but the victim was taken to a less exposed place. The discharge was at first supposed to have been accidental, but articles un his person indicated suicide. A bottle found upon him contained muriatic acid, which he claims was to cure warts on the hands. A paper in his memorandum book bore the following words: "If I fall send mo to my father, Joseph P. Hubbard, Cobleskill, Schoharie county, N. Y. [Signed] Robert P. Hubbard." He was taken to the city hospital aud Mayor Phillips telegraphed to the abovo address. Medical examiner Breck says the man cannot live.

Ferry expressed himself as being confident that Sontay is defended enly by Black Flags, whom the Chinese government has disavowed, and* declared that the oocupation of that place by the French cannot therefore be construed into a warlike demonstration against China. He further stated that effort* to fix upon a basis of agreement to settle the differences between China and Franoe are still being made by the French government with reasonable expectations of success. France also enjoys friendly relations with England and Germany, and cordial communications respecting the commercial and maritime relations of thoee countries in event of the failure of China to accede to the fair and reasonable expositions of France are almost daily interchanged. "The Powers," he said, "are daily concerting with a view to the protection of their respective subjects and commercial interests in caee wy should actually occur, but he took occasion to assure the world that whatever the result of pending final negotiations with the Chinese government. France will not wage a maritime war, nor will tho interests of any country other than Chiua be imperiled. Trenton, Dec. 21.— A reduction of tan per cent, without notice has been made in the wages of laborers at the New Jersey Steal and Iron works. Mr. Van Wyck called up his resolution directing the secretary of the interior to inform the senate how much land has been certified or patented for the benefit of railroad companies since the decision of the supreme court in 1875 in the case of the Loaveuworth, Lawrence and Galveston Railroad company a* indemnity for lands sold or otherwise disposed of by tho United States prior to the dates of the respective grants. The wild pursuit continued into one room and out of another, nobody being able to stop them, Barah and her victim jumping over chairs and tables and dashing into a thousand pieces, mirrors, etageres, bibelots and pictures, Sarah all the time whipping Marie, who was shrieking with pain and terror.

Its object ii to discus plans for securing signatures to the petitions to congress. These petitions wUi probably be placed in the hands of branch organisations all over tbe country for this purpose and will subsequently be presentod to congress by a committee of the interested parties. At last Mille. Colombier managed to escape by the servants' stairway. Sarah Bernhardt, utterly exhausted, but revenged, withdrew. In passing through the front door Sarah Bernhardt showed her horsewhip to the concierge, saying, "Marshal Canroebert gave it to me, but I give it to Mile. Colombier as • souvenir." An hour later Sarah Bernhardt played her role at the Theatre Porte Saint- Martin in the dress rehearsal for "Nana Sahib." Mr. Ingalls took exception to the recital of facts in the preamble to this resolution, and Mr. Van Wyck contended that it was in accord with the decision of the court and necessary to get exact information oil tho question. The recital was eventually modified and the resolution adopted. Kennedy's Zephyrs and Farcy Bhcnlls. LOCAL CORRESPONDENCE Pleasaut Valley.

When the open session was resumed, and the consideration of the rules proceeded with, a long discussion arose on tho proposition to refer bills for the expense of the District of Colu bia to the district committee. Mr. Bayard opposed this rule, as trenching upon objectionable ground. He was in favor of leaving all appropriations in the hands of the appropriation committee. Mr. Ingalls defended the proposition. Iu the courso of his remarks he declarod that the money expended for the district was a good investment. The men who had planned tho improvements for the district nad been vilified in the press, but they would soon have monuments erected to their memory. The rule was still under discussion when the house resolution in regard to the celebration on Monday next—the anniversary of Washington's resignation of his commission—was reported. It was adopted, aud the senate adjourned until MoDi Jay. Arrested After Twelve Years. Philadelphia, Dec. 81.— Thefunoralof the late Dr. Thomas Kirkbrido took place at the Friends' meeting house, which was crowded with friends. Before going to the church the inmates of the lunatic asD lum over which the deceased presided for so many lyears ware taken to the house and permitted to take a last look at the remains. The scene was an exceedingly affecting one, for the expressions of grief were many and peculiar. Several well known friends made addresses. The interment was at Laurel hill. The Condition of the Western Swine. Washington, Dec. 21.—Mr. Curtis, of the commission appointed to investigate diseases among swine, has returned from the west. He reports that thero is a great deal less disease among western swine than has been reported. So far as feeding is concerned, he is satisfied that it is conducted in a manner ooaducive to the health of the animals, and ha declares there is absolutely no foundation for the reports that have been circulated, to the effect that hogs are fed on offal from the slaughter houses and farm. The western people are anxious for the adoption of some efficient system of inspection of pork, so that tbey themselves as well as the foreign market may be protected against trichina and similar diseases, and are willing to cooperate with the government to give American pork a good reputation. Philadelphia, Dec. 21.—John Hoffman, a prominent citizen of Ca[De May, N. J., was shot in that city about twelve years ago and instantly killed by some person unknown. The crime at tho time caused considerable excitement, as Mr. Hoffman was known as a quiet and peaceable citizen. Detectives were engaged to ferret out the mystery, and were stimulated by a reviard of $1,000 for the urrest and conviction of the murderer, offered by tho city authorities. Every effort on their part proved futile and the search was abandoned. A few weeks ago a daughter of Mrs. Hoffman was severely whipped by her mother, when she threatened to tell something that she knew alDout the Killing of her father. Neighbors hearing of the remark informed the city ofileials, and Doteetive Dukes was engaged a few days since to make an investigation After carefully questioning the youug woman Ellwood Loper, of Salem, was arrested on the charge of committing the murder. He was taken before the grand jury of Cape county today, and after hearing evidence he was locked up in the county jail. Cape May is intensely sxcited over the unex|Dectod developments.

Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup skillfully prepared for immediate use, is for sale by all druggists. England's Attitude Towards Egypt, London, DeJ. 21.—Another denial was officially made by the government today. It denies that it is the intention of the government to reinforce the British troops now iu Egypt. This report has been circulated in many shapes within the past few days, and this morning it was repeated in some of the papers in a circumstantial form, professing to give the names of certain regiments, both of infantry and cavalry, which had been ordered to Egypt. The Times, which is supposed to have exceptional facilities for obtafging news at the horse guards, discredited the rumor, and now the war office gives it an official contradiction. On the other hand the Admiralty has just ordered another ironclad to proceed from India to Suakim, presumably to protect British residents aud commercial interests on the coast of the Red sea, ind there is a growing impression that ths land forces of England in Egypt will, sooner or later, be augmented.
