FOLLOWING IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF Ottawa, May 14.—Despite the "ocreny maintained by government officials some Interesting circumstances in connection with Mr. O'Brien's visit to Canada have leaked out Among these is the fact that Lord Lanadowne, when certain that Mr. O'Brion was coining to agitato against him in this country, appealed to the privy council to prohibit his speaking, and urged his. immediate arrest on crossing the line on a charge of breach of the peace. His object in making this request was to cause Mr. O'Brien to miss his appointments and prevent him from speaking before public audiences. The council refused on the ground that Canada, as a British colony, was a free country. Failing to obtain Mr. O'Brien's arrest, Lord Lansdowne arranged his visit to Toronto, in which City all protection was promised him. Although not publicly known, the fact remains that two Scotland Yard detectives have shadowed O'Brien since his first intention of visiting Canada was declared, crossing with him and following him in order to report upon any treasonable statements or speech he may make. Action will probably be token on his return according to the report the officers make. The feeling here in favor of Lord Lansdowne is only manifested by the Orangemen. His munificence and generosity either as governor or landlord remain to be discovered. FIGHT ON LONG ISLAND. St. Joan, N.

The water has subsided sufficiently along the Maine Central railroad to admit of getting a train along slowly, but transfers will be made for asveral days fet on the Mew Brunswick end of the line, about twenty-five miles from Bt. John, where the water reaches the tops of the trees. All day yesterds} a working train was at Westfield endeavoring to prevent the water from washing out the New Brunswick railway. After many efforts booms were strung along the shore, and 100 car loads of brush placed inside them and near tike track. This prevented any damage by the water, and allowed trains to pass. At Merepis the track is covered to the depth of six inches, but the trains continue to run over it It has been decided that the race between Hanlan and Qaudaur is to to rowed on May 80, at Pullman, Ills.

Habbisburo, May 14.—Governor Bean joaterday signed the High License bill whlcl was passed by tbe Legislature this week, an it is now a law. Following is a comprehen sivo summary of iU salient points: Tbe first section prohibits the sal* of in toxicaiing liquor at re'sil without a license. The second section requires applicants to h of temperate habits and cittzacs of the Unltei States, and prohibits the sals of a greate mer on a Foul. Nbwpobt, R. I., May 14.—It is stated upon excellent authority that Willie Sprugue, son of ex-Governor William Sprague, and grandson of the late Chief Justice Chase, is to sua for divorce. It will be remembered that he married his stepmother's sister. The ground upon which tbe petition will be based is that Willie, who was a mere boy at the time of the marriage, was not a free agent. Papers will be flleCf at the next term of the supreme court. Willie remained with hiB father when Mrs. Kate Chase Bpragua left Canonchet, and since his mother's divorce he has invariably taken sides with his father. Every one knows Willie Sprague, who led the van in the great battle at Canonchet in the days of the Chaffeo-S prague war. His encounter with Bob Thompson down at Narragansett Pier made him popular, and ever sinco he has been looked on as a remarkably promising young fellow. One Monday night, four years ago, Gov. Sprague sat in the Providence Opera house and seemed to enjoy himself greatly. That night he got on the midnight Shore line train. There was nothing unusual about that, but two days later, when a dispatch annoif&ced ex-Governor Sprague's marriage at 8tautiton, Va., there was a breeze and a bustle throughout the state. The governor came in a few days, and for about a week the new Mrs. Sprague attracted a good deal of attention in ber promenades up and down the streets. Then the family went down to Canonchet that sumjner, and Mrs. Sprague's striking bathing costume furnished seaside correspondent* with material for many letters. Mrs. Sprague's sister, Avis Weed, was also at Canonchet, and they were constant companions in their walks and drives around the pier. In time WSllie forsook his mustang and rifle, and was no longer seen making his wild dashes over hedge and ditch or shooting yellowlegs in the salt marches. R(T became the cavalier of fcis aunt by marriage, and, it is said, read poetry to her down on the rocks, where the roar of the surf furnished the accompaniment.Bbookl.tr, May 14.—In the presence of about fifty sporting men Tommy Kelly, the Harlem Spider, and Paddy Carr, fought for a purse of (ISO shortly after midnight, at a point on Long Island sound about fifty miles from this city.

The sports who paid $5 each for the privilege of seeing the fight met at a well known saloon in New York early in the evening, and in two's and three's quietly proceeded to the battle ground, a dancing hall in a small town overlooking Long Island sound. Neither of the principals arrived until an hour before midnight, but the twenty-four foot ring waa klreadyup. At South Branch the water rose two inches. At this point the railway company has seven boots, and passengers and luggage are transferred with little delay.

At Fredericton many streets are still under water and there is no gas. Two of the public schools have been closed as they are flooded. Alarming reports continue of the destruction along the river in Sanbary and Queens counties and the hundreds who are driven from their homes may not be able to return tor many days. The captain shunned Woolcott after that, so states the letter, and transferred his confidence to the second mate and sustained the ■econd mate in disobeying the orders of the first mate. Woolcott states that the vessel lost a rudder one day; that the captain put one in its place that was no good, and that he refused to permit Woolcott to make one. A few minutes before 11 Kelly, in charge #f his Seconds and trainers, crept through the ropes and seated himself in his chair in the northeast corner of the ring.

Chicago, Hay 14.—At the vary lowest estimate 30,000 mem employed in the building trades are idle to-day. The contractors belonging to the Buildec and Traders' exchange spent yesterday in placing the various jobs now under way in a proper condition for a long siege of idleness. When this siege will be raisod no one can ten. The contractors are calculating upon a long struggle, and have made their preparations accordingly. They consider the present straggle one in which there can be no compromise. "The walking delegate must go I" Is the war cry, and there seems to be no wavering on this point. Every member of the Master Maaons' association has constituted himself a committee of one to prosecute the work of binding all the Interests Involved into a solidified body. Many looked upon the scheme of enlisting the material men as a visionary dream impossible of realisation. This morning it would bother a man wall posted in the building business to purchase the requisite material to construct an average brick building. The brick manufacturers are a unit upon the question and Include among their numbers dealers in all the neighboring cities and suburbs. At 10:90 o'clock the men shook hands and a minute later jumped into position at the call of "time." Carr held himself well together hi the center of the ring, his hands well up, wd watched the "Spider" as he sparred for an opening in his circle around the ring. "The captain and second mate stayed on board," said the letter, "till the boat went back for some sails and ropes for this vessel (meaning the Nord America), and the crew told me the second mate cut holes in the vea•el so as to sink her." "With inferior numbers of men we marched onward fighting for our rights, and battle after battle was fought and won, but the northern historians nover conceded that and indulged in triumphs ef mind over matter. But now those scenes and incidents have passed and they only live in minds and history. United you are now, and if the Union is ever to be broken let the other side break it The army of the south will shine forever around the campflres and will still shine to our children and children's children. The truths we fought for shall not encourage you to ever fight again, but keep your word la good or evil."

Boston, May 14.—An immense number of people witnessed the class races of Harvard on the Charles river yesterday. The tide was favorable and the weather perfect.

But it all died out in time and Willie and his bride settled down to rou ine of life. After a whilb, however, they were seen less in eaoh other* company, and at last, the pier gossip* say, they never met at all. For a month or more nothing was seen of Willie, and servants from Canonchet furnished information that he was busily at work on soma mechanical contrivance on which he proposed to get a patent Then he was seen about the pier at Canonchet for a week or two, but went off to New York very suddenly and did not return. Rumor says he was working in a machine shop there, but down at Canonchet it was reported that a warm friend of Governor Sprague had placed him in an excellent position in a dry goods house in the metropolis. It now transpires that the domestic relations of the young couple were not as pleasant as they should be, and the rupture will lead to a suit for divorce. when Willie walked into the halls of Canon- After a minute's rest they again got into position, Kelly looking confident and Carr with a hideous smile on his face.

London, May 14.—A dispatch juoeived from Cairo gives a graphic picture of the state of consternation iato which the European residents of Lower Egypt have beeDi thrown by the announcement that Sir Harry Drummond Wolff has concluded a convention with the snltan of Turkey settling the question of British occupation of Egypt The terms of the agreement are of course not known, but a deep seated feeling pervades the commercial centres of Egypt that they involve the absolute evacuation of that country by English troops and the unconditional surrender of the future of Egypt into the bands of the sultan's vassal, the khedive. To the resident of Egypt during the last ten years the inevitable result of British withdrawal and the consequent resumption of the old system, or lack of system, in the oonduct of Egyptian affairs presents itself in the shape of a military revolt, a general exodus of Europeans and the financial ruin of everybody having anything to lose. 'Ae actual terms of the new agreement are awaited with great anxiety, but the general opinion is that any change from the present state of things must result disastrously to European residents and investors The carnation at work by the master masons is likely to force into idleness 40,000 men engagad in other branches of building before the end of next week.
