For the United States to attack Mexico without giving her an opportunity to be heard before an impartial tribunal of arbl-i t ration would be for a great nation of unlimited power to put herself to open shame before the world. There oould not, fellow citizens, in my Judgment, be a more deplorable event than a war between the United States and any other republic of America. The United States must be regarded as the elder sister In that family of commonwealths. Even in the day of our weakness, we gave aid and comfort to thorn in their struggle for independence, and let us Eit fail now to cultivate friendly and timate relations with them. Refraining from war ourselves, we shall gain the influence that will enable us to prevent .war among them—so that peace shall be assurred and perpetual on this continent. If I recall any part of.my own participation in public affairs with special satisfaction It is that I endeavored and almost succeeded in having the American republics assemble in a peace oongreas in order that war between nations on this continent should be made impossible. War in any direction would prove »great'calamity to the United States, but war forced on Mexico woold be a crime, marked in'an especial degree by cruelty. JSSSS^iSSfk'SEE: tariff bill and the question of free trade and protection, and the labor problem, he took upon these points were as follows:London, Aug. 25.—AH the news received here up to this hoar tends to show that the dapositlw at Prince Alexander was the work of a few venal and disaffected politicians who hod beeta won over by the intrigue* of the Russian diplomatic envoy. Tim latter was personally oq such bad terms with the prince that he pointedly avoided putting in an appearand at any oatirt function, such as the prince's birthday, etc. Both the common people and the army are loud in their expressions of dimftafaction at ttw coup d'etat, and they profess the utmost loyalty to the prince. The latter had not only won theiv hearts by the brave mid. courageous manner in which he led the hitherto (lespisod Bulgarian troops to victory in the war with Bervta, but hag further secured their good will by his having delivered them from their Russian taskmasters. During the early years of the prince's reign the Russians wer* «rafywb(re. The mHustors were Russian, the superior officers in the army were Russian and the provincial authorities and revenue inspectors also belonged to the same nationality—in fact, all.the fat government posts in the land were held by the cxar's subjects, who took their final orders from the Russian diplomatic envoy at Atfla. They exasperated their co-religiOnists, the Bulgarians, by treating them very much as the English do the natives in India, and scarcely took the trouble to veil their contempt.The most coatfradictory statements have been received here on the whole matter, which is probatdy due to the fact thatf the telegraph wires are cut and that no messages are allowed to leave Bulgaria without the coowt pf the Russian diplomatic agent. However, as far as I can gather, Alexander had been induced by cleverly circulated false rumors of trouble on the Servian frontier to dispatch his most trusted regiments thither, and the single oavafry regiment which remained in the capital is ytetsd to have been won over by the conspirators, fa the middle of the night the latter, accompanied by some sojdlsrs, forced their way into the prince's bedroom and demanded that he should sign an abdication. This he is reported to have absolutely refined to do, whereupon the conspirators are stated to have carried him off under a strong eacort from the capital to some place of confinement. His present whereabouts appears to be atterlv unknown, although the moat-cooflictlo£ diflnatchea lift vt) Iiaaii received udou the subject. Hie general impression is that he is still in the hands of the revolutionists. The queen is reported to be very much agi tated at the events which have just taken place at Sofia, and dispatches are sent almost hourly to her majusty giving the latest news. The London papers are all full of the Bulgarian revolution again this morning. The Ttpnes has lonf columns of medal dispatches Among them is one from Bucharest, which says thit Prince Alexander is a prisoner an board a yacht, of which the officers ate devoted to Russia. The vessel passed Gulrgevo at S o'clock a- m. on its way to Rsni, in Russian Bessarabia. It is probable that he win be kept in confinement there for a time. It is now beyond doubt that the whole conspiracy against the prince was led by M. Zankoff, who secured the co-operation of tha Eustendji regiment. The Standard's Berlin correspondent sends the news that Prince Alexander is a state prisoner in Riusia. He has been landed on Russian territory and taken charge of by the Imperial authorities. A telegram from Bucharest says that civil war has broken out In Bulgaria. Everywhere the regiment* are declaring far the prince. The regiments are playing the "Prince's March" in the streets qf Nish. A' movement of Russian troops toward Reni, Bessarabia, is reported. „ ;Nhw Tom, Aug. as.—A cloud of steam puffed up from the small smokestack of a peculiar looking craft which lay almost entirely submerged alongside the tog Chance Shot In tin river at the foot of West Bighty. sixth street yesterday. and it is feared tfcat she will die.

In speaking of the matter, Clough said that too much saltpetre bad probably been put In the meat, and had sickened the people who ate it fir. Caldwell said the best was poisoned meat, and the health department took the stuff to its office, whore It will be examined by the health The craft was the submarine boat Peacemaker, the invention of Professor J. H. L. Tuck, of California, who has spent twentyfive years of his life and sunk aver $100,000 in attempting to construct a boat that would Kail under water as well as on top. Professor Tuck k confidant that he has at last achieved his long cherished ambition, and he invited several scientific men and newspaper representatives to see the boat work. The craft looked like the back of an immense turtle as it lay pnfflng in the water There was no ingress except by a small man Mr. Parnellsatd that the people of Irdtsd had every reason to .be: satisfied with the program, whtoh had brought them to their prevent portion.

T™1 oI trpoW* Mr. Gladstones purchase system would have ■afqly settled the land question, and without a settlement of the land question it would be impossible to settle the Irish question. The government must reduce the rent, at tiie expense either of the landlords or of the taxpayers of the kingdom. Mr. ParneU argued that the way to develop the reaoura* of Ireland was to allow the Irish themselves to develop thtm. He accused the government of encouraging the landlords to wholesale evictions, knowing that agrarian crimes always follow evictions. The Irish, he said, would try to bo patient, butUtSMaction by the landlords of impossible rents might produce exasperation. The landlords would then clamor for coercion, which would come, and which would not stop at oriminals but would attack political opponents. Mr ParneU suggested, as an alleviation of tKe ' situation, that judicial tenancies be axed at three years Instead of fifteen years, and that rents be revised. He concluded by excess (ng his belief that the Irtofc people would i never submit to a government not their owp- Referring to the West-Bayard correspondence on the subject, he said: W« find that Mr. West, instead of acting from motives of pure generosity towards American fishermen, was really pavlng the way for a shrewd trade and a new treaty.

The consideration was a pledge from Mr. Bayard, under date of June 19, 1885, that the president would at the next session of congress "reoouunend the appointment of a oomialeatafc, in which the government Of the United Stttes and Great Britain phaU be resperttvWy rs|M Counted, charged with the consideration and settlement upon a just, equitable and honorable basis of the entire questions of the fishing rights of the two governments and of' their respective citizens on the coasts of the United States and British North America."

The pending contest Is marked by the presence of a third party, organized, as its leaders say, to inforoa the prohibition of the liquor traffic in Maine.

The Republican party in Maine from the day at its organisation has been pledged to prohibition—enacting the principal statute now in force in 1857-8, and sinoe amending it from year to year as the leading temperance men requested. The changes .to make it effective have averaged nearly one for every yea* since the original lair was panned. The third party in their convention cheerfully testify that prohibition has been so well enforced by the Republicans, that in their judgment Maine is a quarter of a century ahead of the license states in all that pertains to the temperance reform. The Republicans have this year, with special emphasis in theii state convention, reaffirmed their faith if prohibition and nominated for governor f pronounced supporter of the law.

Six bucks caine forward with a white flag to five Mexicans at the ranch and stated their desire to make peace with the Mexicans and raid into Arizona and New Mexico. A couple of days afterward Capt.

They, however, had become aware of the movement and slipped away several hours before the arrival of the troopa in two bands, one, of ten, coming north and the other, of thirteen, going east This shows how extremely difficult't is to surprise the Apaches, who are as alert as weasels.

In addition to all this Mr. Bayard gave significant intimation to Mr. West that the refunding of duties meanwhile collected under our customs laws upon Canadian fish might be brought before the commission thus promts*!. Accordingly, in the following December, six and a half months after Mr. Bayard's memorandum pk# that the president would make the raqgmiMndation to congresf, the president actually did incorporate it in. his annual message and gave it in language, which was a transcript verbatim of the words which Mr. Bayard gave to Mr. If eat, It wotiMflertaJfcly be apart from desire' to' pisp any personal criticism upon the president, of whom I wish at all times to speak in terms of respect, but, viewing this as a public question, and speaking only with the freedom of a private cltisen, I must express my belief that this transaction was throughout most extraordinary and unprecedented. It was extraordinary and unprecedented, and altogether beyond his proper power, for a secretary of state, in the rmM of congress, to revive any put of a treaty which congress had expressly terminated; it was extraordinary for a secretary of state-to begin negotiation* for the renewal of a treaty which every department of government had just united in annuling; it was extraordinary for a secretary of state to enter into a trade with a foreign minister for a present benefit to be paid for by the future action/tf the government, sod most of all was it extraordinary that a pledge should be given to a foreign government that the president of the United States should in the future—more than a half year distant—make a specific •CsasssSsssSi waddy river at that place burst, making a break of 800 yards wide.

It would certainly be refreshing if we could hear Mr. Webster's words repwted from official sources to-day.

Mr. Webster did not expect and did not intend that his position would lead to war. He simply expected that a firm, decided tone. would bring English officials to their senses and make t£em feel the responsibility and danger of transgressing the right* and touching the sensibilities of u proud and powerful people. Mr. Webster knew, as those who learned from him have since known, that England could even leas than the United States afford to war about the fohprfee. Mr. Webster knew, as those who have learned in his school have sinoe known, that England and the United States can never go to war except on some point that touches the imperial integrity of the one or the other—and even an offenofe of that magnitude we agreed In 1871 to settle by arbitration and not by gage of battle.
