Wasnincton, August Il. -—- Only 32 vessels last year made the long trip from 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.

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.

The Mainichi, commenting upon the annexation question, says: “The reason why Japan made a protest, a8 soon as the signing of the annexation treaty | - vs . co - became known, is that she has done it simply out of friendship so #s to make | State to Japan’s first protest it appears that the determination of America ou the subject is very firm. The Japanese Goy- ernment, however, haa not relied on the attitude of other countries from the outset, aud this policy will be adhered to to the ma.” 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 ish The symptoms in his case certain~ ly tend to support belief in his senility, in the His despatch on the Beh- when the question was ip of settlement can only be explained on the theory that bis mind 1s blank on tue whole subject.” 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.

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. fhis view is the most charitable circumstance, ring S ¢ Sea matter course tions,” ene 2 PERSONAL.
