TAPPING THE WIRE*.
The Society of the Army of ihe Cumber
land yesterday, after holding a business
meeting in Washington, attempted to pay
visit to Mount Vernon, but were unable, on
account of high winds, to land. On board
the steamer a resolution of thanks
offered to those Virginia and Maryland com
panics which had participated in the cere
monies of unveiling the statue of General
Thomas. Wheu the society returned an ex-
Confederate soldier made a speech, in which
he paid a high tribute to the memory of
that officer. His speech was received with
loud cheers. Ills name is Watkins, of How
ard countj-, Maryland. General Garfield re
plied that the Army of the Cumberland ex
tended its arms to Watkins.
A boat was found empty, and with her
sails and masts gone, near Advocate Bridge,
Nova Scotia, last Sunday morning. It is
supposed she was caught In the gale of
last Saturday, and all on board were lost.
Great indignation i? expressed In Ireland
over the recent arrests of Messrs. Davitt,
Killen and Daly. It is not believed in Dub
lin that the indictment for sedition against
them can be sustained.
Tv.o men named Dennis and Anderson,
armed with rifles, went a day or two ago to
the house of a Miss Williams, at Jamestown,
Tennessee, and after insulting that lady,
ordered a man named Stelncipher to leave.
Steincipher, however, seized a rifle and shot
one of the men dead, and clubbed the other
nearly to death.
The report of tne commission investi
gating the complicity of Ameer Yakoob
Khan in the Cabul massacre has been for
warded to the Viceroy of India. Nothing
has transpired to alter the unfavorable
opinion heretofore current regarding his
conduct.
The American Health Association yester
day elected officers, appointed several stand
ing committees for the ensuing year, and
discussed various papers on yellow fever,
and the promoters of epidemic diseases.
An invitation from New Orleans to hold the
next convention of the body in that city
was accepted. The railroad managers of
the Southwest also held a meeting and
passed resolutions for the appointment of a
committee to point out to the several State
Legislatures the defects in the present
system of quarantine, and to suggest the
means of enforcing a more effective system.
Secretary Schurz has received a telegram
from Los Pinos, endorsing the recommenda
tion of Chief Ouray that a number of lead
ing Ute chiefs proceed to Washington to
hold a conference for the final settlement of
the Ute question. Secretary Schurz con
sents that the embassay may come, but
must not include any of the White River
Ute chiefs concerned in the late massacre.
The arrest of Messrs. Davitt, Killen and
Daly in Ireland is commented on variously
by the Irish press, and the Irish Tunes and
Freeman's Journal criticise the arrests un
favorably, while the Dublin Daily Express
applauds the action of the government.
Mr. Davitt’s arrest has caused much agita
tion among the Irish population of Dundee.
Scotland. As yet no disturbance has arisen,
but a large number of notices of ejectment
have been applied for, and it Is feared that
if they are executed trouble will ensue.
At a Home Rule conference held in Lon
don last night, it was resolved to hold
mass meeting of the Irish inhabitants of
London not later than the 30th inat., to
protest against the arrest of Daly, Killen
and Davitt. The Irish organizations of
Liverpool, Leeds, Newcastle, Birmingham
and Glasgow will also protest. Home Rule
organizations at other points have resolved
to assist the promoters of the land agita
tions.
J. J. Allyn, manager of the Western
Union Telegraph office, in New Orleans,
was before the Spofford-Kellogg committee
yesterday, and was ordered to bring before
the committee all telegrams sent by Kel
logg or any person in the New Orleans cus
tom bouse, in May and June last, but he
refused to do so. The manager of the
Atlantic and Pacific office received similar
instructions, and he likewise refused.
A Lottery Dealer Sues Postmaster
James.—Max Borger, a New York lot
tery dealer, has brought suit against
Postmaster James, in the State Supreme
Court, for alleged illegal detention of
hi3 letters, for which he claims $2,500
damages. The case will probably be
transferred to the [Federal .Court. The
letters were detained under orders from
the Postmaster General, based on the law
authorizing him to detain letters con
cerning lotteries, etc. It is claimed by
counsel that the law is unconstitutional,
as it makes the Postmaster General sole
and exclusive Judge, jury and sheriff,
and deprives the plaintiffs of their prop
erty without due process of law, and in
violation of the Constitution.
The Indianapolis people are exerting
every influence within their command to
have their city selected as the place for
holding the next Republican National
Convention. They are now making use
of an argument against Chicago which
they seem to think will have the effect of
dropping that city from the list of com
petitors for the convention honor. The
good people of Indianapolis say that the
wicked people of Chicago intend to
double the price of beer while the con
vention is in session, should Chicago be
chosen. Indianapolis pledges itself to
sell beer at the same old price to the con
vention, and thinks that is reason enough
to settle the case in its favor.
Astronomers declare that the Vermil
lion colored spot now noticeable on the
planet Jupiter is an affection of the plane
tary body itself and not of its atmos
phere. There is no record of a similar
phenomenon having been previously ob
served, and the explanation generally
given is that it indicates that some great
disturbances are in progress within the
planetary substance. We may obtain
some notion of the extent of the dis
turbance by noting that the size of the
spot with reference to the whole area of
Jupiter’s surface is as large as the whole
of Europe is with reference to the sur
face of the earth.
Rer. Felton’s D. D. Letter Again.
As we have said, the letter of Rev. W.
H. Felton, D. D., as it appeared in the
New York Times, does not place that
gentleman fairly and squarely in the at
titude of an avowed Radical. We had
been led to believe and hoped that be bad
at last boldly thrown off the mask of De
mocracy, with which he has heretofore
invested himself, and that he had reveal
ed himself in his true colors—those of an
out-and-out Radical partisan. But Rev.
Dr.Felton has not yet entirely lost hi3 cun
ning. He does not feel altogether satisfied
that he is sufficiently master of the situa
tion to risk such a venture, so he recognizes
the necessity of, as yet, feeling his way
cautiously along. He therefore begins
his letter with the assertion that he is
“a Jeffersonian Democrat,” and then
goes on, insidiously and artfully, to
endeavor to bring the National Democra
cy into all possible disrepute, evidently
hoping that by adopting this course he
can accomplish more harm to the Demo
cratic and more good for the Republican
party than if he boldly avowed himself
a foe to the one and a friend to the other.
The vaulting cunning of Rev. Mr.
Felton, D. D., has this time o’erleapt
itself, however, and his true designs
stand so plainly revealed that they can
not deceive even the simplest mind. He
stands before the people of his dis -
trict as one whose only principle is to
always be on the strongest side, so as to
secure personal advantage, and we have
every reason to believe that many honest
men, hitherto gulled by his specious
cry of “Independent Democrat,” and
who have thoughtlessly given him
their support, will have their eyes
opened, and will henceforth refuse
to adhere to him. The Columbus
Enquirer-Sun, for instance, which at the
last election heartily advocated the cause
of the reverend politician, now sees and
acknowledges its mistake, and, as will be
seen by the article which we print in an
other column, now as heartily denounces
him. The Enquirer declares that it fa
vored Dr. Felton’s election because it be
lieved him to be a better Democrat than
his opponent, but now, since his letter
appeared, it finds that it was in error,
and asserts that hereafter it will leave
bolters alone, and will stand steadfastly
by the organized Democracy. It frankly
confesses that it has had enough of “In-
dependentism,” and saj’s: “We will
hereafter choose men we can trust; who
will know when to encourage friends,
and not dishearten them, as Dr. Felton
has done. We will cling closer around
our cause. We will nominate men who
will be true to no clique or ring, but to
the State; no Independents but honest
Democrats who can say yes and no and
mean it, and elect them.”
We trust that all those honest Demo
crats of Georgia who have in the past,
like the Enquirer-Sun, been deluded into
wandering away from the true fold to
run after Independent false gods will see
the error of their way equally as plainly
as does that journal. They may now
realize exactly what Independentism is;
that it merely means being independent
of all principle, and living with an eye
single to personal aggrandizement and
nothing else, and that its course leads di
rectly into the embraces of Radicalism.
We trust also that like the Enquirer, they
will determine hereafter to recognise the
Democratic principle that the majority
rules, that organization is necessary to
success, and that the decree of the ma
jority, uttered in convention, should be
binding upon the party. They have
seen Bos3 Kelly, one model Independent
Democrat, so-called, deliberately hand
the great State of New York over to the
Radicals, and they may see the great
danger of the same thing being done in
Georgia by Boss Felton, D.D., and those
of his ilk, if their disorganizing counsels
are followed, and they are accorded
popular support and encouragement.
Important Supreme Conrt Decision.
The Supreme Court of the United
States has decided that the act of Con
gress granting registry and protection to
trade marks is unconstitutional, and this
both with regard to the authors and in
ventors clause of the Constitution and
the clause conferring upon Congress the
power to regulate commerce between
the States. The court reaches the sweep
ing conclusion that under no construe
tion can the trade mark law be sustained.
The court declares that a trade mark
“bears no necessary relation to inven
tion or discovery.” Under this decision
the
owner of
trade marks
will
be
compelled
to rely for
de-
fense
upon
Ihe principles
of
equity. The decision is of special
significance at this time by way of re
vealing that the Supreme Court is not in
the least backward in antagonizing the
action of Congress, and that it is in no
mood to recognize as valid the opinion
advanced by Judge Strong, in delivering
the second legal-tender decision, that
Congress has powers which are “neither
expressly specified nor deducible from
any specified power, or ancillary to it
alone,” but which grow “out of the ag
gregate of powers conferred upon the
government, or out of the sovereignty in
stituted.”
Immediately after the decision of the
court was made known at the Patent
Office on Tuesday orders were given, in
advance of an official copy of the decis-
i, to cease the issue of trade marks.
The granting of trade marks was begun
in 1870, and 121 were issued during that
year. The whole number issued up to
Monday last was 7,777, and these
peating numbers include all the trade
marks that will ever be authorized by
the United States. The last trade marks
issued bear date November 11. The
trade marks, eight in number, ready for
issue on Tuesday, were withheld under
the decision, and have been suppressed.
Upon this decision some interestin,
questions arise. The Patent Office, a
stated, has received $25 for each trade
mark issued, making, since the passage
of the trade mark law, $194,425 received
as fees for trade marks which are now
declared to be valueless and issued with
out authority. It would seem equitable
that these fees should be refunded,
but an appropriation by Congress
will be needed for the purpose. This
decision would abolish the trade mark
division of the Patent Office, but that
this division has charge of letters patent
for labels, and for designs as well as for
trade marks. It is thought that an act
of Congress will be passed before Christ
mas authorizing the holders of trade
marks to enter them, where piacticable,
as labels, etc., without further expense,
and it is certain that most of those to
whom trade marks have been profitable
will make the change, while others, who
do not now need the trade mark, will ask
for the return of their fees. The present
trade mark division comprises one ex
aminer, one assistant examiner, one
clerk and one messenger, and it is under-
derstood that the division will be con
tinued under a new name.
On Tuesday in Cabinet meeting the
decision of the Supreme Court that the
Federal trade mark law is unconstitu
tional was referred to, and in view of the
existence of treaties with several foreign
nations under which we have guaran
teed trade-mark protection in this coun
try to their subjects, it was agreed that
Mr. Hayes should request Congress to
enact some legislation on this subject
which shall be free from the objections
of unconstitutionality, but afford protec
tion to foreign trade marks.
The Macon and Brunswick Railroad
Lease.
By an advertisement published else
where it will be seen that Governor Col
quitt reoffers for sale the lease of the
Macon and Brunswick Railroad under
the provisions of the act of the Legisla
ture authorizing such lease, and ap
proved September 3d last. The sale will
take place at the court house in Macon
within the legal hours of sale, on Tues
day, the 13th of January, 1880.
It will be also seen that the Governor is
determined that the provisions of the
act disqualifying certain persons from
bidding at said sale shall be strictly ob
served. These disqualifications refer to
all railroads or express companies or in-
dividuals.interested therein which may
in any way be competitors with or rivals
of the proposed road. It will be
membered that some confusion resulted
when the lease was offered for sale
on the Gth instant, from the fact that
one of the prominent bidders openly an
nounced that he was a stockholder of
the Central Road. To avoid this at the
approaching sale, it is required that
every bidder shall make affidavit that he
does not directly or 4 indirectly represent
any such railroad or express company,
or that he has any interest in any com
pany running to or from the Atlantic
coast at any other point than the city of
Brunswick. It seems to us that if any
thing can prevent all such disqualified
parties from bidding on said lease, the
action of the Governor will certainly
have the desired effect. And while we
are inclined to doubt the constitutionality
of a law which so obviously interferes
with the private personal rights of citi
zens, under the act as it now stands the
Governor undoubtedly has a right to in
sist upon such requirement.
The committee to organize a National
Agricultural Society have issued from
New York an address stating that the aim
of thesociet3 r is the advancement of agri
culture in the Uni tod States by practical
methods, such as periodical exhibition of
soil products in the principal cities of the
country, the encouragement of emigra
tion, the discussion of questions of agri
culture and of commerce in its products,
and the collection and dissemination of
thought and experience thereon. A con
vention, to which all persons interested
in the subject are invited, will be held
at the Metropolitan Hotel, in New York,
December 10.
A Good Showing for the Postmas
ters.—During the two years ended June
30, 1878, the receipts from all sales of
postage stamps amounted to $56,809,102,
and the aggregate sum paid into the
hands of postmasters for money orders
was $158,154,625. All this was account
ed for to the department, except $3,041,
now given up as “bad debts,” and
$96,286 now in suit. The per cent, of
loss is one-twentieth of one per cent
The topic of all of ex-President Grant’s
speeches during his trip from San Fran
cisco to Chicago has been “nationality.”
He has steadily advocated the “nation”
idea, and has referred incessantly to the
great strength of this country as com
pared with the foreign powers. The
idea of a great American military power
seems to monopolize the mind of “ The
Man of Destiny,” or “The American
King,” as his Iowa friends prefer to
designate him.
The roll of Grant boomers in Georgia
is reported as follows: CoL R. A. Craw
ford, of Atlanta; Col. Luther J. Glenn,
of Atlanta; CoL Geo. T. Fry, of Atlanta;
and Judge O. A. Lochrane, of Atlanta.
If there are any other Grant boomers in
Georgia, that faithful chronicler, Henry
W. Grady, failed to include them in his
report to the New York Herald.
T. H. Murch, Chairman of the Con
gressional Greenback Committee, and
F. P. Dewees, Chairman of the National
Greenback Committee, issue an address,
“in view of the gravity of public affairs
and the imminent peril to representative
government,” inviting a general confer
ence of leaders of the party in Washing
ton, January 8, 1880.
The New York Times (Rep.) com
mends Jthe “Independent Democratic
movementjjin Georgia” to the watchful
care and affection of Southern Republi
cans, and seems to believe that the votes
controlled by this Independent faction
can be polled for Grant next year.
A Famous Cruiser Sunk.—The one
time Confederate steamer Shenandoah
has been sunk in the Indian ocean, off
Socotra, nearty all the crew going down
with the vessel, which, at the time of
the disaster, was the property of the
Sultan of Zanzibar. The Shenandoah
was built at Glasgow in 1863, nominally
for the China trade, and was launched
under the name of the Sea King. In
1864, off Madeira, she was transferred to
the Confederate service, under command
of Captain James Iredell Waddell, who
changed her name to Shenandoah, and
immediately started her upon her fa
mous cruise, which lasted thirteen
months, ending in August, 1865, long
after the war was over. In this cruise
the Shenandoah sailed 58,000 miles, a
fourth of the time among icebergs, cap
tured thirty-eight vessels and destroyed
property valued at over $G,000,000. The
Shenandoah visited all the oceans ex
cept the Antarctic, never lost a chase nor
met with an accident. When he reached
Liverpool Captain Waddell turned his
vessel over to the British Government
and landed. Captain Waddell returned
home and entered the Pacific Mail ser
vice, where his conduct last year, on
occasion of the wreck of his steamer,
won high encomiums.
A majority of the steamship lines in
New York have acceded to the demand
of the longshoremen for an advance of
wages to twenty-five cents an hour for
the present, hut some hold out. There
is an immense amount of freight to be
handled, and the companies are at the
mercy of the strikers. On the Brooklyn
side nearly all the companies have ac
ceded to the demands of the strikers.
The men say ..that twenty-five cents an
hour is no more than they are justly en
titled to, as the prices of provisions have
advanced so high recently that they can
not support their families at the old
rates.

The Ameer and the Cahnl Massacre.
Foreign and Domestic News Items*
The late Senator Chandler, says the
Cleveland Plaindealcr, told a friend in
Washington, last winter, that the “elec
tion” of Kayes cost him $37,000. Speak-
; of the alleged “pecuniary mean
ness ” of Hayes, Chandler said, previous
to Hayes’ flop to the stalwart side: “I
am told that he only spends $6,000 a
year and saves $44,000 out of his salary.
When you go back to Washington you
tell Hayes I will fix it so that he can save
his entire salary. He will receive $150,-
000 more salary if he lives out his term.
I will give him a check for that amount,
payable when he will write his resigna
tion on the back of it.”
Miss Lillie E. Barr writes to the Chris
tian Unian, of New York, that while in
specting the convicts at the Dade coal
ics, in this State, she found a boy
fourteen years old who, when only ten,
had been sentenced to forty years im
prisonment for burglary. As the severest
punishment affixed to this crime by the
law of Georgia is twenty 3 T ears imprison
ment, the Augusta Chronicle concludes
that the gentle Lillie must have drawn
on her imagination for the other twenty.
The Boston Post thinks it a very hard
case that the white people of the South
should go to work and raise more than
half of the largest cotton crop ever made
in the United States, and that John
Sherman should then turn around and
impudently attribute the prosperity of
this country, to which this cotton so
largely contributed, to bis financial
policy. *
The last Atlanta sensation, the Grant
boom in Georgia, like Professor Tice’s
meteoric shower, has been indefinitely
postponed.
FURTHER REGARDING THE IRISn ARRESTS.
London, November 20.—The Dublin cor
respondent of the Globe says: “Itis believed
here that the arrests of Messrs. Davitt,
Killen and Daly are in reality due to a notice
S ubjished recently calling upon the men of
layo to meet on Saturday to protest
against the threatened eviction of a farmer.
The document apparently hinted at a resist
ance to the law.”
The Dublin Irish Times blames the gov
ernment for molesting the meaner and
smaller agitators who have nothing to lose
by being made heroes. The. government’s
action may revive Mr. Parnell’s expiring in
fluence.
The Dublin Freeman's Journal 6ays the
arrests are unconstitutional, an act of arbi
trary power intended to paralvze the land
agitation by terrorism. The Dublin Daily
Express applauds the action of the govern
ment.
The news of the arrest of Mr.
Davitt has caused much agitation
amongst the large Irish population of
Dundee, Scotland, whom he intended to ad
dress Sunday. But as yet there has been no
disturbance. It is understood that a large
number of processes of ejectment have been
applied for, and It is feared that their ex-
(_ ecution may give rise to 6ome disturbance.
At a Home Rule conference here to night,
It was resolved to hold a mass meeting of
the Irish inhabitants of London, and all
sympathizers with Ireland, in Hyde Park,
not later than the 30th instant, to protest
against the arrest of Daly, Killen and Davitt.
All of the Home Rule members of Parlia
ment, resident in London, will be invited to
attend. The Irish organizations in Liverpool,
Leeds, Newcastle, Birmingham and Glas
gow have determined to make a public pro
test. At a meeting of the Home Rule or
ganizations in North London, Sout.hwick
and Greenwich, it was resolved to assist the
promoters of the land agitations. Several
subscriptions were handed in at the Home
Rule offices to-day.
THE AMERICAN HEALTH ASSOCIATION.
Nashville, November 20.—The following
were elected officers of the American Health
Association at the morning session to-daj':
President, John S. Billings, United States
Navy; First Vice President, Samuel Cbop-
S in, of New Orleans; Second Vice President,
C. Heazie, of Lancing, Michigan;
Treasurer,- J. B. Lindsley, of Nashville.
Executive Committee—C. B. White of
Louisiana, J. L. Cabel of Virginia, E. M.
Hunt of New Jersey, J. D. Plunkett of Ten
nessee, Chas. F. Fulsom of Massachusetts,
A. L. Gibson, United States Navy. Drs.
Gihon, Griffith, Sternberg, Kelly aud Bail-
bach were appointed a committee to report
upon the best means of preventing the
spread of venereal diseases. An invitation
from New Orleans to hold the next conven
tion in that city was accepted by almost a
unanimous vote. Dr. Plunkett, of Nash
ville, read a paper on “Cotton as a Fomite.”
Dr. Brewer read a paper on “Rotten Wood.”
Dr. Thornton, President of the Memphis
Board of Health, read a paper on “The
yellow fever epidemic in Memphis In 1879.”
At the night session, “Yellow* fever quar
antine of the future,” was treated in a paper
by Dr. Campbell, of Georgia.
At a meeting of the railroad managers of
the Southwest to-day, resolutions were
adopted that a committee be appointed to
lay before the several State Legislatures the
practical defects of the present system of
quarantine, and that a more effective sys
tem be enforced by proper legislation, and
ask from Congress for an appropriation for
the enforcement of State quarantines, to be
expended under the approval of the Na
tional Board of Health.
THE UTE QUESTION.
Washington, November 20.—Secretary
Schurz has received a telegram from Gen.
Hatch, dated Los Pinos, 17th inst., contain
ing and endorsing the recommendation of
Chief Ouray, that eight or ten of the lead
ing Ute Chiefs be brought to Washington,
with a view to a conference and final settle
ment of the Ute question. To this Secre
tary Schurz has replied that the Chiefs may
come, but that the embassy must not In
clude any of the White river Ute Chiefs
concerned in the late massacre. Their as
sumed ignorance of the circumstances of
that outrage, he says, raises strong presump
tion against themselves, and 6hows they are
not fit men to treat with. They can clear
themselves 60 as to be received here only by
pointing out and surrendering the guilty
parties. Until this is done the whole tribe
must be held responsible.

THE KELLOGG-SPOFFORD INVESTIGATION.
New* Orleans, November- 20.—J. J.
All3*n, manager of the Western Union Tele
graph office here, was subpoenaed to-day by

Gen. Toombs’ Brigade.
Editor Morning News : In 3*our issue of
yesterday an article appeared, headed
“ The Toombs Scarce,” in which the fol
lowing sentence occurs: “Gen. Toombs’
brigade was disbanded immediately after
the surrender at Appomattox.” Gen.
Toombs relinquished the command of
his brigade in 1862, and was succeeded
b3’ the gallant Paul J. Semmes, of Co
lumbus, Ga., who fell, mortally wounded,
at the battle of Sharpsburg. The late
Col. Henry L. Benning, “ Old Rock,” as
he was affectionately termed by his men,
was the successor of Gen. Semmes, and
surrendered at Appomattox what few
was left of that gallant command.
Yes, Mr. Editor, it was a gallant bri
gade, and the writer of this, who was
himself a soldier of the Army of Northern
Virginia, cannot let you unconsciously
pluck from memory the well earned
laurels of our gallant dead. If my
memor3* is not af fault, Gen. Toombs
severed liis connection with the Con
federate army earl3 r in 1862, and if he
ever did anything after that to aid our
cause, I never heard of it, and “ I knew
him, Horatio.” V.

The ravages of diphtheria in Russia
have attracted a great deal of attention.
In some towns and cities it is said that
more than half the entire infant popula
tion has been carried off by the frightful
disease. Now it is reported that typhoid
fever of a most malignant and unusual
type has appeared in Montreal, and that
its ravages cannot be arrested. Modern
investigations have well nigh established
that both these diseases, while undoubt-
enh 7 communicable from person to per
son, are due in their origin to filth, to
bad air and water, and to defective
»erage. The germs of the blood poi
son are kept alive by the fact that proper
sanitar3* precautions have in some respect
or other been neglected. To prevent
their spread, therefore, a sanitary survey
should be made in every case where they
threaten to become epidemic. It will
nearly alwa3*s be found that there is a
local cause which can be removed, and,
when it has been removed, that the dis-
e disappears. Some experiments
made in this respect in London, in
instances where typhoid and scarlet
fevers prevailed, are very conclusive in
establishing the connection with the local
cause and the diseases.
That Russia expects to fight before
long some great maritime power is indi
cated by various facts, the significance of
which is not to be concealed. She has
asked for specifications for swift steam
ers from all parts of the world where
such vessels are built, and is providing
herself with every attainable facility for
harassing commerce and enabling her
ships that are to he used for such a pur
pose to escape heavy cruisers. The Rus
sian Admiralty has also lately caused to
be published a book called the “ Cruises
of the Sumter and Alabama,” which of
course show the immense mischief that
single fast steamships can do when ably
and audaciously handled. The volume
has been distributed freely among the
officers of the Russian navy, and it is
plain that thc3* are expected to profit by
the exploits it sets forth when a fit occa
sion arises. As Russia is, and from the
situation is sure to continue to be friend
ly to France, and as Germany has, no
merchant marine of any considerable
dimensions, the Russian preparations are
obviously intended for the benefit 3f Eng
land, and are so interpreted by the Eu
ropean press. The struggle may be a
long time in coming, but it is pretty cer
tain to come at last.
