The excitement occasioned by the affair is intense. The Canadians are loath to understand why the American government should not entertain the same opinion regarding international laws and the three mile limit on the Pacific as well as on the Atlantic coast. The authorities here still continue to discuss the Americas pretensions as to exclusive jurisdiction in Behring's sea. the Black Diamond Aflkir, Mrs. Flack Has Been Granted Albany, Aug. 8.—A southbound Delaware and Hudson through train, in charge of Conductor Acker, ran through an open switch at the ten wood junction, near here, about 4:30 and into the West Shore train due here at 4:30.

I made no resistance, and feel oertain they will not try to rub it in on me in any way. I propose to state my case myself to Governor Lowry. The whole fight was forced upon me by the bragging and blowing that had been done at me for two years by that half-Englishman Kilrain and Charlie Mitchell. All the newspapers have treated me very kindly, and I know that what they say will have a great deal to do with the way X am treated in the south. So far the boys have acted 'white' toward me, and I will only be too glad at any time to do anything for them that 1 can. No person will be able to say I was not ready to face the music. I made no attempt to hide in New York, and will now stand whatever may be put upon me. Of course I do not want to go behind the bars, but if I have to, why, I will do it without any kicking. I think, however, you will see me back here before many days." Bhooklyn, Aug. 3—One of the severest storms this cily ever experienced passed over this forenoon. The rain descended in torrents, flooding most of the streets and making veritable rivers out of the gutters and sewers Several Btreet cars were lifted from the track and floated sideways down the rtreet A number of houses were struck by lightning. Old residents say nothing like it in point of suddenness and severity has been known in recent years. The storm, fortunately, was of short duration, otherwife serious damage to properly must have resulted. No loss of life is reported. land—Other News. At present the governor general is in direct communication with the British government, which favors a cautious policy. The Canadian government is indignant over repeated seizures on the bU sea and has asked England in plain language to protect her interests. The effect of a refusal to sacrifice imperial interests for a domestic one is hard to determine. The press of Canada is a unit in denouncing the seizures. Of course nobody thinks of going to war. The dispute, however, has dlrectsd attention to Canada's military strength. New York, Aug. 3. — The sensational Flack divorce case is the topic of discussion about the city. When the story crept out that Sheriff Jamts A. Flack, the prominent Tammany loader, had been divorced from his wife, Mary E Flack, politicians of both parties were greatly surprised, but when Mrs. F.ack declared she knew nothing of the divorce proceedings, having only agreed to a separation, they were very much astonished.Brooklyn, Aug. 8.—A mad Texas steer played havoc on Montrose and Bushwick avenues, and was not captured till it had gored a horse, tossed two children and nearly ended the earthly existence of a man who attempted to catch the animal by tho horns. The steer was one of a drove landed from a cattle boat at the foot of North Ninth street, about 1 o'clock. They were in charge of John McCormick, who is known as "Texas Jack." McCormick was mounted on a stall- Ion and carried a lasso in his hand for the purpose of checking any of the animals that might become unruly while being driven through the streets. When Stagg street was reached a red steer suddenly broke loose from the herd and ran madly down the street Texas Jack galloped after the fleeing animal, and threw his lasso, but failed to catch him. The rope had touched the animal, though, and frightened him, while a crowd of people, shouting with all their might, caused the steer to run along at a lively gait. London, Aug. 8.—Interest in the sensational murder trial now going on in Liverpool grows daily, and the newspapers here print many columns of the evidence morning and evening. When Mrs. Maybrick was first arrested, and the damaging disclosures made of her relations with Mr. Alfred Brierly, popular feeling was all against her, and little doubt was expressed in any quarter of her guilt or of her ultimate conviction on the charge of poisoning her husband. The names of the most seriously injured are: Mrs. E N. Pittman, of Troy, injured about the back and head. Mrs. Hendson, of West Troy, cut on the head and injured internally—not serious. Joseph of Binghamton onginfler of the Delaware and Hudson train; leg injured by jumping. Judge Bookstaver, of the court of common pleas, who granted the divorce to Mis. Flack, allowed the decree to be seen, but not the testimony. He also withheld the name of the co-respondent, generally supposed to be a Miss Raymond. Sir Charles Russell's admirable preparation of her case has, however, completely revolutionized public sentiment, and if his work produces upon the jury anything like the impression it has already made upon the public, Mrs. Maybrick's conviction is out of the question. It is generally believed that she will be acquitted, or, at the worst, that the jury will fail to agrea The medical testimony introduced by the crown is very weak, and is far from supporting tho theory of the prosecution. Public Sentiment Revolutionized, The active military force exceeds 86,000 men. On the basis of the last census Canada can put 1,500,000 men in the field. Matthew Turnoy, fireman of the Delaware and Hudson train, slightly injured about arms by jumping. He resides at Quaker street HALSTEAD GETS A RECEPTION. A "LAUNCHING DAY" FATALITY. The Ohio Editor a Big Man in Politics Now. One Boy Poshes Another Off a New York The tracks were blocked until a late hour. Cincinnati, Aug. 3.—The op3ning gun of the Halatead Senatorial campaign was fired here this mormrg when a public reception, under the auspices CDf the Your g Republican club, was tendered the aspiring editor in Mu;ic Hall. Great enthusiasm prevailed, and the attendance was unexpectedly large. Gov. Foraker was present and delivered the principal speech. He is now openly affiliated with the Halatead boom. Halstead's enemies are chuckling at what they call the previousneas of the demonstration. Pier and Drowns Him. It was William Flack, a son of Sheriff Flack and a notary public, who retained Lawyer Benjamin Wright, in the Potter building, to care for Mrs. Flack's interests. Mrs. Flack says she never knew she had a lawyer, and the paper which she says purported to be a decree of separation was brought to her by her son, in whom she says she would intrust her -life. It was on his statement, she continues, that it was all right that she did not read it, and signed it at the place he designated with his finger. She knew Judge Monell drew up the document, and says in the same breath, that she never applied for a divorce, was never before a refereo, nor was cited to appear by a lawyer or any one else. Lawyer Wright, she declares, she never saw and does not know. _ Her Son Betrayed Her. A DARING DIAMOND THIEF, New York, Aug. 8.—Thomas Robins, aged 12, was pushed off the pier at the foot of West Twenty-sixth street into the North river by Patrick Casey, aged 14, and was drowned. Casey was arrested. The first Friday in August is known among the boys that frequent the river front as "launching day." For more than a generation it has been the custom of the boys on that day to engage in a promiscuous ducking of one another at the piers. While a party of lads were thus "launching" each other, young Casey approached Robins and asked if he could swim. Robins said ho could not, but Casey either misunderstood or disregarded the answer, and began wrestling with Robins, who was finally pushed into the river. He sank at once and was drowned before help could reach him. This is the first fatality connected with "launching day," so far back as any one of those familiar with the custom can remember. It will probably cause the police to break up the practice. He Grabs SI,COO Worth of Precious Stones and Gets Away With Them. The Antl-Jeault Agitation In Canada. Kansas Citt, Aug. 8.—A daring thief entered the jewelry store of F. G. Altman at 3 p. m. secured (1,500 worth of diamonds and made his escape. He was well dressed and when he asked to be shown some diamonds, a tray containiug a largo number of valuable set stones was placed on the countor before him. Ottawa, Aug. 3—The Anti- Jesuit agitation is a domestic quarrel, which tends to estrange Catholics and Protestants. The opposition of the latter to the incorporation of the Jesuits is not diminishing. It has placed tho government in an awkward position, especially after the unqualified support of the government policy last session. Six hundred Protectant petitions signed by 55,000 Canadians, asking for the disallowance of tho Jesuit bill of incorporation, have been prosented to the governor general at Quebec. Little Girls Tossed in Air. The Doctors Disagreed. At Montrose avenue a 12-year-old girl named Gussie Domes, in trying to cross the street in front of the animal, was caught by its horns and tossed high into the air. She landed in a heap of saud and was apparently little the worse for her exciting adventure. About midway between Humboldt street and Busbwick avenue another little girl who was not quick enough to get out of the animal's path was tossed up and hurled one side. Drs. Humphreys and Carter, who attended the deceased in his last illness, and upon whose testimony the prosecution relied very largely, flitly contradicted one another on the stand upon some very material points, and upon their cross-examination by Sir Charles Russell both became confused and showed themselves uncertain of their ground. After a few minutes examination of the jowels be grabbed a handful and bolted for the door. He was followed by Mr. Altman and a large crowd for some distance, but by flourishing a revolver in the faces of his pursuers he succeeded in keeping them at bay. The thief then went through a saloon into an alley where he entered the basemont of a book store, walked up the stairs and passed through the main door unmolested, the clerks having no suspicion that be was a thief. Reaching the street he entered a hack and was driven away, since which time he has not been seen. ' The Coke strike lncrcntlnff. Pittsbubo, Pa., Aug. 3 —Tho indications to-day are that the strike of coko operatives in the Connellsville region, which has been on for several days, will ircrerat largely by next week. Forty-five hundred ovens are oow idle, over a fouith of the entire number. The officials of the Knights of Labor, who are commanding the striking forces, claim that by Monday over 20,000 men will be out, in which event the employers will, they assert, have to yield. Bad for tbe Fair Prisoner. A Horse Gored to Death. A Pugilist and His Wife In Trouble. During the day the prosecution called an analyst, wno testified that he had found traces of arsenic in the pocket of the prisoner's dressing gown, and on a handkerchief and apron belonging to her. Vr hile the drover was still endeavoring tc lasso the wild creature, the steer drove his horns into the side of a peddler's horso. The infuriated animal baoked a few feet and made another lunge forward, but the horse, badly hurt and with the blood streaming from the wounds, ran off up Busbwick avenue.Lansing, Mich., Aug. 8.—Detective Mo- Cauley, of New York city, was here Wednesday with a requisition for Jack Burgess, the prize fighter, and wife Nettie. They are wanted in New York for the larceny of $4,- 000 worth of diamonds and silk dresses from Mrs. Burgess' sister, Mrs. Frank Hurst Tbe prisoners are at Detroit. McCauley procured the necessary documents and will leave with his prisoners at ones. Judge nookntaver Angry. When interviewed Judge Bookstaver was angry, because he believed an attack had been made on his court. He denied be had ordered Clerk Jarvis not to file the decree of divorce in the case in order that the public could not learn of the divorce having been granted. He said that he believed everything in the case was regular at the time it came before him. The papers were properly drawn up and purported to be signed by Mrs. Flack and sworn to by a notary public. Emperor William In England. London, Aug. 3.—At the conclusion of the naval displays at Splthead Emperor William will leave for Aldershot to witness the military review, arriving there Wednesday. He will return to Osborne in the evening to pay a farewell visit to the queen, and will rejoin his fleet on the following day for his homeward voyage. The emperor's proposed visit to the sultan occasions considerable uneasiness in St Petersburg, where the reports oi immense war preparations on the part ol Turkey have already had the effect of quickening Russian sensibilities. Unless some satisfactory explanation is given by Turkey of her warlike attitude it is extremely doubtful if Emperor William will care to assume the risk of offending the czar by visiting Constantinople at this time. Milwaukee, Wis., Aug. 8.—Notwithstanding the action taken by Department Commander Martin, of Illinois, and other heads of G. A. R departments, renewed and extensive preparations are being made for the G. A R national encampment. Tbe committee has assurances from all states and territories of very large delegations now that it is definitely settled that no lower regular rate can be possibly given. Over $10,000 will be expended for the naval battle, which will be the greatest feature ever witnessed in this country at a grand army encampment. A grand parade will also occur on Tuesday, Aug. 27. Between 150,000 and 200.000 visitors are now expected. Excursion steamers will bring large crowds from Chicago and other points on the lakes, and in this way a great number of veterans will come to the encampment, although their commander has ordered them to rumin at home, because of the action of the railroads in not giving a rate of one cent a mile. Tile G. A. R. National Encampment* End of tb« Wild Steor, The Blast Went Off too Soon BECAUSE HE SAW THE FIGHT. Texas Jack finally came up and lassoed the steer but not until the animal had made another stubborn resistance. He was hoisted on a wagon and taken to Levy & May's slaughterhouse.

Saratoga, Aug. 8.—Jay Gould was seen by a United Press reporter and emphatically denied the report printed in several New York papers to the effect that he was here to attend a meeting of railroad magnates with the object of organizing a "Railroad Clearing House." Mr. Qould further stated that he knew nothing of any such meeting. Gould Denies the Report. Baltimore, Aug. 3.—H. Leo Clarke, a reporter for The Sun, was arrested charged with "engaging and participating in an unlawful assemblage" last Sunday, in going to witness a prize fight between Pete Heron and Jerry Sadtler. Mr. Clarke appeared before Justice Gideon Herbert at Towson. His counsel claimed that he was at the fight at the representative of a newspaper. He was there engaged in his professional duty and for the purpose of bringing to the knowledge of the community an unlawful proceeding. Counsel was surprised that the writ was not extended to The Sun itself. "I granted the divorce," he said, "because the testimony was such that I must do so. A verified complaint, signed by the plaintiff, was served, and no answer being filed by Sheriff Flack in the specified time, twenty days, I appointed Joseph Meeks referee, to take testimony. The referee filed his report favoring the divorce and I granted the decree. " TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES. The Big Review Postponed Kllraln Again Talks Fight.

Judge Tuley has decided against the strikers in the Purrington & Kimball trouble at Chicago. It is expected that the old men will go to work again at the old terms. The Qaeen Kissed Him Twice. "Why was the decree in the case sealed up with the testimony. Is it customary to do that!" The queen, in receiving Emperor William of Germany at Osborne, did so with every demonstration of affection, kissing him on both cheeks. At night the vessels of both tbe English and German floets off Cowes anil Osborne were brilliantly illuminated, and the effect as viewed from the shore was magnificent. Emperor William hus been appointed to an honorary admiralship in the British navy. Justice Herbert took the reporter's bond for appearance at court, and he was released in (300 bail. A Western Hallway Disaster, "It is optional on the part of the judge. I had the decree sealed up, ind It must stay so. If Mrs. Flack has been reported correctly and tbe court has been imposed upon, she can either appeal personally before me or some other judge or through counsel by means of an affidavit and have the decree of divorce annulled. I shall instruct Judge Beach, who takes my place on the bench on Monday, to set as I would in the matter. If I thought for a moment there had been a conspiracy I should not have granted the divorce. I don't see how thete could have been a conspiracy. I won't believe it. George W. & S. Taylor, of Smyrna, Del., founders and machinists, have failed with liabilities of $40,000.
