Alantic to Pacific by way of Cape Horn, the route of very considerable domestic traffic. These 32 vessels, aggre- gating 57,094 tons, were bound mainly from New York toSan Francisco, and only 10, aggregating 17,786 tons, from the Pacific to the Atlantic ports. These were not in regular trade, but sailed by way of the Horn either in ballast or, if fortunate, with cargoes of domestic merchandise, for the purpose of taking at their destination other cargoes for export.

Beruix, August 11.—A special despatch has been received here which says that a great fire has destroyed the graater part of the Russian town of Matislavl, west of Moghilofi, in the Government of Moheeley, on the river Sozh, an attHuent of the Dneiper. Two hundred houses have been burned, and the famous Jewish synagogue and six Jewish seminaries have been ruined. Ma- tislav] has long been a well known edu-

once

cational centre as well as the seat of im- portant religious institutions. It had, in

addition to the synagogue and seminaries which have been destroyed, numerous churches, several monasteries, a college and a school for nobles.

Orrawa, Aug. 11.—The Deputy Minister of Marine and Fisheries received yesterday a letter from Sir Louis H. Davies. In it the Minister intimates that with Sir Wilfrid Laurier he has been enabled to take action in several linea which wil] be of direct benefit to Canada. Further, Sir Louis’ observation i* to the effect that none of the colonial premiers attracted anything like the admiration and favor of Canada's first minister. No colonial has ever wound bh wnself in the same way into the heart of the British nation. (The Minister of Marine also notes his intention

Sypwrey, ©. B., Aug. 11.—-A valuable find in the historic fortress of Louisburg was made yesterday. A party from Sydney Mines, digging for money and relics, dug through a large tunnel, and upon explora- tion found adepth of 60 feet, and travelled

about 75 feet,coming toan obstructionin a

wall blown up, probably by powder. Ex- ploring further, they found an entrance at the southern parade of the old fort and traced it about a quarter mile to the other outlet at the south gate. The tunnel is arched and built magnificently of masonry. Atthe entrance was found part of a skeleton ofaman. The propertv now the late Michael Slattery. The present holders will remove the obstruction in the tunvel. It istnongbt there are other underground passages. Tourists are greatly interested,

New York, August 11.—A Washington despatch to the Times save: An effort is in progress by influeuatial friends of Secre tary Sherman to induce him to leave Washington and go to some quiet resort where he can rest until fall, and it is the belief in administration circles that he wil] go out of the cabinet soon after the Nov- ember elections, The sad condition of the secretary’s health and mind is no longer concealed even by his friends. It was the hope, 1n fact the understanding, when he went to Long Island that he would remain there until the president returned to Wash- ington. His sudden retarn to Washington was wholly unexpected, and (he resulis to the diplomatic relations of the United States has been embarrassing. This moru- ing Secretary Sherman made an absolute denial of all the interviews concerning the Canovas assassination that appeared in the newspapers Monday morning and startled diplomatic world. He seems to remember none of the occurrences of Sunday night, when he brought his chair out on the front step, many newspaper men gathered around him, and he gave out a variety of interviews. The secretary’s condition is painful to bis friends. A physician says collapse may at any time occur,and would create no surprise.

Loxpon, Aug 11.—Some of the papers give prominence to the position take- en by Secretary Scherman, and print long specials quoting American comments on the statements made by him in an inter- view on the death of Senor Canovas, con- currently aliuding to his recent anti-Brit- outbursts. ‘The Daily Newsin an editorial says: “Current events show that we did not miscalculate in leaving the secretary tothe jastice of his own country

Wasuincron, Aug. 11.—The Klondike fever has levied its tribute on Washington. Mr. Sctudds, the Wasnbiugton agent of the great ratlroads here, says that the demaud for through tickets to tne Pacific by gold seekers is unprecedentedly heavy. Quite a number of civil service clerks have re- Signed to join the throng of Klondike pi'- yriuus. Business men sufterivg from bard times have enrolled themselves in the army which issweeping in search of fortune in that tar away land. ‘State cousidera— said Representative James H. Lewis, of Washington, today, “bad, I doubt not, quite a little to do with the Presideats’ reconsideration to send troops to Alaska. He doubtless feared that there might be a clash over the boundary question between the troops and the Northwest police of Cavada, and that being so farfrom_ tele- graphic reach, trouble between this country and Great Britain might ensue. To prevent anything of the sort, he recalled his order, and the troops were not sent. There may have been other reasons, but I warrant the one I have mentioned was the chief reason.

To-pay's Buiow.—The fresh breeze which blew ail morning caused quite a lot of damage amongst the sail and row boats moored off the western end of the town. There was an unusually high tide and the waves In the harbor became tormidable. The Lientenant-Governor’s yacht, Nanita, dragged her anchor and drifted from her moorings Opposite Government House. | She brought up rather roughly at Con- noliy’s wharf and was somewhat damaged before she conid be got safely into the dock. A couple of sailboats and some row boats also dragged their anchors and bumped the wharf. The boats got the worst of the encounter. At full tide the now celebrated ‘‘city rafv”’ began to break up and go adrift. At noontime the harbor was dotted with the loge, wh.ch neariy all floated over tu the Connoily wharves, and will probably be recovered without much trouble.
