Their idea is to grow cotton and erect factories to supply the markets of Central Asia with the fabric." The Moscow merchants and manufacturers are much enraged at the proposal of the scheme, which is likely to interfere with their Central Asian business. Their anger is particularly violent and deeprooted because there is a strong possibility that the concession asked by the Rothschilds will be granted them.

A whole family of Americans here, household servants and all, have fallen into the clutches of the English courts on a very singular charge of conspiracy. A few years ago John Edgar | Sherman was United Stated Consul at Manches- ter. He is a Republican and very well known in Washington. After he was removed from the consulship Sherman came to London and went into business. He soon became prominent figure in the American colony and was on the ground floor in a speculation of some magnitude, involving American interests. Last winter he lived at the First Avenue Hotel in this city, but in the summer rented a fine house called The Cellare," at Sunbury, in Middlesex, surrounded by twelve, acres of beautiful grounds. One of his neighbours there was Walter Adam Byrne, a barrister of the Middle Temple, at present acting on the Times staff before the Parnell commission.
Sherman has a son about 20 years old, called Harrow T. Sherman. Byrne has a daughter, 17 years old, named Helena Florence Mary. She very pretty, with a fresh English complexion, dark, wavy hair, block eyes and a graceful figure. Harrow Sherman met her, played tennis with her and fell violently in love with her. Mrs. Byme tried to suppress him, because she thought both too young for such matters, and Florence herself appeared to receive the young man's attentions indifferently, but his persistency won, and finally Mrs. Byrne saw that the affair was getting beyond her control.
According to the affidavit on which a summons was granted, Mr. Sherman urged his son's suit and is alleged to have said he would move heaven and earth to get the girl for him. The curious feature of the case is that there appears to be no →→→motive but the girl's beauty, for her parents are not rich, while the Shermans are prosperous. To get Florence out of the way of the youthful but ardent lover, Mrs. Byrne sent her to Bognor, a little Sussex watering place. This was last September. While she was there Mr. and Mrs.

The big steam ferry-boat Maryland, the second largest craft of her kind in America, which brings Do ten trains from Mott Haven to Jersey City, was burned to the water's edge to-night, and with her two sleepligcars, a mail and a baggage car, There were twenty people asleep in the cars at the time the fire was discovered. Wiign the alarm was given they had to face as best they could. They all e caped with their lives, but lost everything they had with them. The faryland was lying in her ship at Mou Haven, near the Hudson-river depot of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad. The fire was discovered about 11 30 o'clock. With almst incredible speed the flames spread until the vast steamer was a mass of fire. Some of the passengers had very narrow escapes from suffocation.
The flames cut off, all approach to the land and spread with most amazing rapidity. In- stantly almost the entire boat was filled with smoke, and the porters rushed through, shaking up the sleeping passengers and yelling, "fire!" There were about twenty people in their berths, including four ladies. Most of them had not., time to put on clothing. The men rushed out in their night dresses, but thice of the women had time to put on skirts. They were all in their stocking feet as they fled toward the end of the boat pointing out into the river and huddled there, while the flames crept closer, until a tug- boat backed up to the staryland and took them all on board. Then they were transferred to the station of the railroad company, whe e they were made as comfortable as possible while officials of the road made up new train to forward them to their destination. By the time they were hogged the big boat was a mass of flimes.
Meanwhile the employes had pushed the cars toward the land through the flames. There is an incline from the boat to the wharf, and the cars rolled down this to the land, where they were side-tracked and left to be destroyed. Then the men were also taken off the stern of the Maryland by a tug and brought to the station. The fire communicated to several piers, and at 2 o'clock this morning was raging fiercely. Nothing is left of the big, ferry boat but the iron hull, and four cars, with all they contained, were burned down to the tracks,
Many of the passengers had narrow escapes. Mr. Wallen of Baltimore was fast asleep in his berth when he was aroosed by the porter's cry of fire. The car was full of 'smoke, but he managed to grope his way to the door and get cut, with nothing on but his nightshirt. Mrs. Rose Kimball of Baltimore and Mary Malone, from Philadelphia for Springfield, were traveling together. The elder woman had time to put on a dress, but the younger one wrapped herself in a blanket, and both were led out of the car, W. H. Nash was in the Magenta when he felt the hot breath of the fire in a face. He sprang up and fed with his clothing under his arm. Rev. F. 1srael Baltimore, who Hyme came to Landon and took apartmentswim. E. J. Avery of Chicago became aware was in the Cycinus, left all his clothing behind pear the British Museum.

William Finally it was discovered that the day following Duggan rushed out in his stocking feet and was her arrival in Landon with Herbert the girl went taken off by the tug. to the St. Pancras Registrar's office, near the Midland Railway station, and was married to young Sherman.
Mrs. Byrne says that a few days before the maninge she received a telegram from Man- chester purporting to come from her sister, Annie Garside, asking her urgently to come to Man chester. Without delay she went, and on her arrival was met by Mr. Sherman Sr., who got her to stay, after exhausting all the persussion he could bring to bear. The next day Sherman returned to Lendon, leaving Mrs. Byrne at →Manchester, and dropping her a message to say that Important telegram called, him bastily home.
On the day of the wedding Sherman mét Byrne and told him of it, expressing surprise, and saying that he met the bride and groom at Waterloo station. Byrne went to the Registrar's office and found that the witnesses of the wed- ding were Mrs. Herbert, Rebecca Hales, a ser vant of Sherman, and a man named Garrett, who rented the rooms where young Sherman tok hir girl wife the day before the ceremony. After the wedding they went to live at his

WASHINGTON, December 7th.
It is stated that the President has been offi- cially advised of the death of the only King upon the American hemisphere, George Frederick Augustine Handy. His subjects consisted of a few hundred Mosquito Indians on the north coast of Nicaragua. His grandfather was the imine diate subject of the "Monroe doctrine," and it was his establishment upon a throne that called out the celebrated protest from President Monroe. George Frederick Augustus Handy, as well as his father and grandfather, were crowned under the auspices of the British Government and have always been recognized by it as genuine Kings.
When the Spaniards conquered America they were never able to subdue the Mosquito Indians, and in the days of the buccaneers the Mos quito coast, as it is called, was the favorite haunt of English pirates and freebooters. The natives killed all Spaniards, but welcomed Englishmen as friends, and in 1826, aler the Central and South American colonies became independent republics, England had Robert Charles Frederick Handy, hereditary: chief of the Mesquitas, crowned as king, with a protectorate from her Majesty's Government.

NEW YORK, December 7th. Canada is deeply stirred by the article which appeared in the World regarding annexation, and particularly by the mapshowing how Canada would likely be divided into States. The Toronto' Empire, the Government organ, has an article intended to counteract the World's influences. It charges the World with working hand in glove with the French Canadian politicians of Quebec with a view to the rapid propagation of annexation sentiments among the French Cana dian clergy and people.
It says "It is learned that our Quebec an- nexationists have intimated to their brothers in the faith in New York Printing-house square that in order to make any headway towards sedition and treason among the French and Catholics in Canada general opinion from the American Roman Catholic bishops should be obtained by the enterprising World re- porters relative to the status of the Roman Catholic people and institutions of this country were the province of Quebec to throw in her lot with the American republic. It is further alleged that if the Yankee promoters of the movement in question can secure some guaranty from Cardinal Gibbons and other American prelates that the rights of the Canadian church will remain intact, the mask which now bides the inner movements of the French Liberal party will be at once thrown off and that the whole faction will openly and publicly declare themselves favorable to the disintegration of the empire. That such a move on the part of the World, aided and abetted by these Quebec adherents, is now going on cannot admit of doubt, and an opinion of high American digni- taries favorable to the admission of Canada Into into the American Union may be looked for at an carly 'date,”
The Tact'ai of Ningpo has authorised the building of a native lucifer-match, factory and the manufacture of matches by the "Jen Klen" and other native firms of Tze K'i Hien. Japanese workmen will be employed for a time until the Chinese acquire the necessary skill. This is quite a new departure and will give China a share in the profits hitherto monopolised by foreign importers. The factory is to be in a retired place where it cannot become a nuisance or prejudicial to the health of the townsmen. The inferior Chinese authorities and the Com- missioner of Customs have been duly notified by Taot'ai Sich.
