Henry Smith, the manager of the Associated Press, who was a passenger in the train which harrowly escaped destruction by the flood, gives a graphic picture of the way the flood came, He declares that the reservoir, the bursting of which caused such great loss of life and property, was maintained by a pleasure club that was forced to give a bond of $3000.000 for its safety. He declares that the criminal responsibility for the awful calamity is brought home directly to this club. General Beaver has issued an appeal for aid. Subscriptions to the relief fund are rapidly, pouring in, and about $350,000 was given yes- terday in various cities, San Francisco contri- buting nearly $10,000.
NEW YORK, June 4th. The Herald's cable special from Dover of June 3rd says: The channel yacht races were continued at Dover to-day, the matches being Baited under the flag of the Royal Cinque Pons Yacht Club. The weather was delightfully fresh, and a good breeze made the racing much more effective than on Saturday.
1
The first match was started at 10:30 o'clock for prizes of £30 and 15, presented by the vicc-commodore, The course was from the Daler-mark boat, an the portward past line indicated by the inner mark, and finishing between two mark boats, twice around, the distance being forty-four miles. The entries were the Yarana, the Valkyrie and the Frex,
A splendid start was made and the vessels beat down the course to Varne buoy with a favorable breeze. Before the craft had all disappeared from view it was observed that the Valkyrie was gradually losing and that the frer, was getting ahead. The Valkyrie was evidently not built for such a heavy breeze, and when returning from the South Sands head lightship it could be seen that the frer was greatly increasing the gap between them. The Faran kept close in the wake of the Valkyrie, but still lost a little. At the con- clusion of the first round the frex passed the home buoy at 1h. 2m. 545, and was followed by the Valkyrie at th. 13m. 285., while the Varana was signaled at th. 14m. 38s.
After turning the buoy, however, matters began to bear a still more serious aspect for Earl Dunraven's yacht, and the Irux made more headway, the Yarana soon lessened the gap between herself andthe Valkyrie, and eventually forged ahead. In the fish the frex rounded the buoy at 3h. 35m. 51s, winning the prize by two minutes and two seconds. The Farana was signaled at 4h. 9m. 74. and took second prize, the Valkyrie coming in fifty-one seconds later, the lime being 4h. 9m. 585.

OITAWA, June 6th.
A gentleman in Victoria who is interested in the seizure of Canadian vessels in Behring Sea two years ago, writing to a friend in Ottawa, says: "The Canadian sealers will go north as usual in a few days, and if asked to 'heave to will resist seizure. If overpowered they will be retaken by British cruisers Canadian vessel owners entered Behring Sea last summer and were not molested, though frequently sighted by American cutters. They feel confident that the American cutters will again keep out of their way

BERLIN, June 8th,
Murat Halstend contradicts the rumors as to his renomination to the Berlin mission. He says the President does not think of doing it, and that anyway his own circumstances positively render it impossible. Mr. Halstead looks weak and worn and has been consulting with the German physicians about the best watering place' to which to go.
It is impossible to convey to you any idea of the terrible strength which one finds in Parnell when he takes a definite position like this. His words are like molten lead hissing out from a furnace, rather than mere spoken words. When- ever Parnell appears thus the House hrapies silent and almost cowed, and Balfour the other night gave one of his sickly smiles as Parnell hissed cut defiance. Parnell is almost himself again.

The Impatience of the Foreign Office to close the matter does not hasten the action of Lord Salisbury any more than it has laine. The English commissioners do not attach the slightest importance to the dilatory procedure of their Foreign Office. As soon as the Washington
Government cables "sign," Lord Salisbury's assent will be ready. From the nature of the latest communications to the American Commission it is expected the conference will meet Wednesday for the last time. Blaine has asked concerning the arrangement for the return of Malietoa. It is settled that the electoral decision of the natives will be taken some time after Malietoa is reinstated.
Bismarck's period of repose at Schonhausen was probably cut short by advices from. St. Petersburg showing the renewal of an openly hostile policy by the Crar. The Emperor's pro gramme for his visit to England for the reception of Emperor Francis Joreph, and other plans, remain uncertain through the Czar's tacit 'refusal to settle the preliminaries for a projected interview with Emperor William. Hismarck sent to St. Petersburg asking the appointment of a date and place for the meeting of the Emperors. The Czar declined to appoint a date further than that on returning from Copenhagen' he might meet Emperor William at Kiel. The tame response from Russis renders the sending of a formal invitation from Berlin doubtful. Semi-official newspapers say the cordial personal relations between the Czar and Emperor William are un- changed, but they ignore the fact of the renewal of the strained relations of the Berlin and Vienna Governments toward Russia.
There is no abatement in the general strike movement. The masons and carpenters of Berlin are steadfast in their demand and are confident of final victory. The Volksblatt announces combined action among the workmen on the royal estates, the coachmen, stablemen and gardeners, for increased pay. The Emperor has already ordered the wages of married men to be raised. The police are more offensively ac- tive to suppress workmen's meetings everywhere.
The conservative journals bitterly comment upon the imperial protection of the workmen. "Correspondence is still in progress between They declare that it is misplaced and the work the British and Canadian Governments relative men are becoming corrupted by Socialism and to the erection of proposed defenses on the the friends of France.

EASTBOURNE (England), June 6th. The launch of the yacht Paradez, which will compete for the America's cup if it answers expectations, was effected here this afternoon in the presence of a large concourse of spectators. The vessel was moved to within ten feet of the sea, and will enter the water at high tide to- morrow morning at 4 o'clock. It is more than a generation since the lugger-rigged yacht bas been seen in English waters. In the case of the Paradox the necessity of lowering the sail when moving it from one side of the mast to the other will be obviated by an ingenious arrangement. The foremast is 60 feet high, the mizzen mast 70 feet high and the foreyard 52 feet long. The
sail area will be about 2000 aquare feet.
The Parador is the largest yacht ever built at Eastboufne and is the largest in the world. It has been constructed by G. Gausden, a well- known shipbuilder of that town. The peculiarity of the hull is that it is perfectly straight at the how and tapers off toward the rudder. Mr. Rapham, the owner, will command the yacht, which will take part in the yacht race at Queens town June 17th.

Sugar still continues to advance.. Beet sugar market indicates a still higher advance. The revision of the sugar statistics only tends to emphasize the fact that the world's visible supplies will be required for actual consumption between now and the beginning of the new crop year, Very much higher prices will prevail, it is thought, when the season of the heaviest consumption arrives.
Apart from the Czar's ominous toast to Prince Nicholas of Montenegro and his sending Prince Nicholas on a special mission to Paris, followed by Grand Duke George, who will sail on a war- ship from Cronstadt for Havre, and thence pro- ceed to Paris, there are signs of activity rising in response to activities on the part of the Triple Alliance. Prince George, the Czar's favorite Bon, and probably his successor, in view of the weak brain and general debility of the Czurewitch. begins a tour of the world, starting from Paris," where his presence is intended to mark the Czar's adhesion to the French alliance.
