She sailed from Gibraltar July 7 and is supposed to have been taken in the Red Sea, where the Malacca was held up. She is a large steamer and a valuable prize. The news of her capture created a veritable sensation and war risks, which were yesterday but a few shillings, were today quoted at Lloyds as ten guineas.

The resolutions adopted, after a general reaffirmation of the national platform, are devoted chiefly to expressions of approval of the national irrigation law. QUALITY GUARANTEED. "While not one rash word should be said which could have the effect of increasing tension of an anxious and dangerous Interval, It would be futile to disguise the character or to minimize the risks of the situation which has arisen. We hope and believe that a solution of the difficulty may still be found in the withdrawal of tlie Russian government from its false position. It is obvious if the volunteers passed the Dardanelles as merchant vessels they cannot be allowed to scour the Red sea as warships. The doors of the Black sea must either be open or shut. If open to warships, they must be so to all warships. If the Russian fleet is to be permitted to emerge in violation of treaty provisions, the British fleet must be allowed to enter upon these terms." OUR BRANDS OF FLOUR ARE THE BEST TO BE HAD. A later dispatch to Lloyds from Perim says the Pak Ling passed there all right. It is believed that the vessel was only stopped and was then permitted to proceed.

"If this country were capable under any circumstances of tamely enduring so grave an injury to the most vital of its interests and so great an insult to its honor, we should have forfeited our claim to be a great nation.

Five hours after the strike had been called Mr. Donnelly received a communication from the packers offering to arbitrate the whole difficulty. Mr. Donnelly declared the offer had come too late to prevent the walkout, although the packers claimed that the communication had been mailed to Donnelly twenty-four hours before the latter received it. Mr. Donnelly offered to accept the arbitration proposition, but insisted that all the old employees be put to work with the acceptance of the proposition. The packers refused this demand, but offered to re-employ the strikers in the order of their application. St. Louis, July 21.—XV. T.
