WHILE clerks in the Brooklyn Port- office were sorting mail on Monday there was a loud explosion, immediately fol­ lowed by a blaze from one of the pack­ ages. It was followed by two other explosions of less force. A clerk rushed up to the counter on which was a burn­ ing package, threw it to the floor and emothered the flames. An examination of the package showed that it contained twenty-five combustible disks wrapped in a German newspaper. There was no writing inside the package, but that por­ tion of the address which was not de­ stroyed showed that it was directed to Bayville, Long Island. BY a lire which broke out at McKees- port, Pa., the Coursln Street Methodist Church, a handsome structure, was ruined and four dwellings completely gutted.

REPRESENTATIVE MCKENKA, of the Sixth District of California, has resigned hfe seat in Congress, MR. MILLS, of Texas, has resigned from the House of Representatives to take the place in the United States Sen­ ate to which he was recently elected. WILLIAM D. BYNUM, Congressman from Indiana, talked very freely in na­ tional matters the other night at Provi-' denee, R. I. "What do you think of Cleveland's chances for the Presidential nomination?" he was asked. "I think they are improving every day. I cannot express an opinion as to whether or not he will bo nominated, for the condition of things is constantly changing. I can c-ay, however, that ho is very strong in the WAt, and is constantly growing stronger. Indiana's delegation to the National Convention will probably cast a complimentary vote for Gray, pro­ vided he docs not attempt to swing the delegation against Cleveland after it is sure that he cannot be nominated. The people of Indiana--that is, fully 90 per cent, of them--are strong for Cleveland as against any outside man." FOREIGN.

The treaty or convention providing for arbitration in the settlement of the dif­ ferences between Great Britain and the United States over the jurisdiction of Behring Sea has been ratified by the Senate by a unanimous vote. The treaty does not stipulate the language in which the proceedings shall be con­ ducted. Mr. Sherman said that the suggestion that they be conducted in English had been communicated to Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British Minister, who replied that'he had no objection, but preferred to communicate with his own government before agreeing to it. This he did, and Lord Salisbury ap­ proved. After Mr. Sherman had made this statement the trenty was amended so that English should be the language used In conducting of proceedings. The time allowed the arbitrators for decision was extended to four months and the treaty was ratified without the passage of any resolution (by a yea and nay vote), and resolutions informing the President of its ratification and remov­ ing the inJun"tio;j of secrecy from the vote were adopted. Officials of the North American Com­ mercial Company, to whom the contract was awarded for taking seals on the Pribylov Islands for a term of twenty years, were riotified that arrangements should be made for this seasou on the basis of a catch of 7,500 skins, the same as last year, under the provisions of the modus vivendi still in force. Informa­ tion to this effect came direct from the State -Department, coupled with the statement that, with the exception of arranging a few deals, the United States and Great Britain had practically reached an agreement to continue last ^year's proposition in force during the sealing season of 1892.

Joseph Lyttle was taken from the jail at Findlay, Ohio, by an angry mob and lynched. Lyttle evidently anticipated death, for he left a note asking that his body be turned over to his brother, with the request that he be buried beside his mother. As the mob entered the jail Lyttle called their attention to the cell he was occupying as the one they were looking for. It took thirty minutes to batter down the cell door, when the doomed man was dragged out and thence to the Main street bridge. After the first attempt was made to hang Lyttle he was dragged by the neck through the street to the fatal telegraph pole, and shots from two score revolvers were fired into the lifeless body. The mob is said to have been composed of the best citizens, but was poorly organized and lacking a leader. The crime for which Lyttle was lynched was a most brutal one. Lyttle was an old soldier whose wife obtained a divorce from him some time ago on the ground of cruelty. He went to the Soldiers' Home at Dayton, but returned Sunday night and tried to,get his wife to live with him again, land she permitted him to stay at the house a few days. His grown daughters wero bitterly opposed to this move, and this Lyttle resented and threatened to kill the girls if his plans wore interfered with. Tuesday night, after a wrangle of this character, the old man went upstairs to b^d, but got up about o'clock the following morning and, going to the kitchen, got a hatchet and attacked his daughter Dellia as she came into the room, splitting her, skull and mutilating her head horribly. The eldest daughter, Emma, came to her sister's rescue and met the same fate, being frightfully in­ jured, but Is yet alive. The mother, hearing the affray, came into the room. Lyttle began cutting her head with his hatehet, inSicting six ghastly wounds, which will prove fatal, although the woman is yet alive. , Lyttle has served >ne term in the penitentiary for inhu­ manly treating a child. His whole life The Peach Crop. THE fact that the Western peach crop has been ruined on schodule time is an assurance that as usual this autumn great measures will be taken for pre­ serving it.--Philadelphia Times.

A PROPOSITION is under discussion in certain circles to ask Congress to enact a law creating a Secretary ot Public Health. The Journal of the American Medical Association takes up the idea earnestly. It says: "We hope that every physician who re­ ceives this journal will take one hour in which to write to his Congressional Representative and Senator, and ask their favorable and active support of this measure. Direct their attention to the filling of American hospitals, infirmaries, insane asylums, and other public and charity institutions with recent immigrants, and to the fact that from these people spread disease and death. Tell them that a cabinet officer would exercise a great power in the control of immigrant-carrying vessels. That such an officer would be able to formulate laws and regula­ tions which would prove of the ut­ most value. Direct their attention to the rapid growth of associate char­ ity organizations in all our large cities and centers of population, whose chief function is to provide for these very immigrants. Tell them of the addi­ tion to the tax duplicates in eve»*y city, because of the immoral, diseased and defective classes of Europe that more than half fill our jails, work­ houses and asylums. Tell your Con­ gressman and Senator this, and tell it to them so strongly that they will not forget it." THE peop'e of Canada dispose ot boodl?.ig statesmen in a summary and satisfactory manner. At the last election for membersof the provincial legislature, although Mercier, the late premier, was successful, his party was disastrously beaten. However, the Canadian government was not con­ tent to leave Mercier alone, even in a minority. He was notified that un­ less he resigned from the legislature and abandoned politics, he would bo prosecuted in the courts for his crimes. It was doubtless a painful performance, but in order to escape punishment for his corrupt practices while at the head of the ministry, he resigned and issued a letter to his followers announcing his retirement to private life. GLADSTONE is said to bo one of the most pronounced believers in the e cacy of stale bread. NOTE FROM SALISBURY.! THE NATIONAL S0L0NS. HE WOULD RENEWTHg MODUS i SENATE AND HOUSE OF%£|*$fe*, VIVENDI. ( SENTATIVES. His Lofflihlp Insists* Howerer, that the Pending Treaty First Be Ratified, and that Provision Be Made for the AMIF inent of Damages. Salisbury Sauoe. Lord Salisbury has replied as follows to Sir Julian Pauncefote in response to Mr. Wharton's note: "In repiy to your telegram notice has been given to owners of ships sailing for Behring Sea that both agreements at present under discussion between Great Britain and the United States--that as to arbitration and that, as to an inter­ mediate arrangeLaent>--may affect the liberty of sealing in Behring Sea. They have, therefore, notice of their liability to possible interruption, and will sail subject to that notice. The question of time is not, therefore, urgent. "Inform the President that we concur in thinking that, when the treaty has been ratified there will arise a new state of things. Until it is ratified our conduct is governed by the language of your note of the 14th of June, 1890. But when it is ratified both parties must admit, that contingent rights have be­ come vested in the other, which both de­ sire to profect. "We think that the prohibition of seal­ ing, if it stands alone, will be unjust to British sealers if the decision of the arbitrators should be adverse to the United States. We are, however, will­ ing, when the treaty has been ratified, to agree to an arrangement similar to that of last year if the United States will consent that the arbitrators should, in the event of a decision adverse to the United States, assess the damages which the prohibition of sealing shall have in- fflicted on British sealers during the pendency of the arbitration, and in tlie event of a decision adverse to Great Britain should assess the damages which .the limitation of slaughter shall, during the pendency of arbitration, have inflicted on the United States or their lessees. "As an alternative course we are also willing, after the ratification of the treaty, to prohibit sealing in the disputed waters if vessels be excepted from pro­ hibition which produce a certificate that they haVe given security for such dam­ ages as the arbitrators may assess in case of a decision averse to Great Britain, the arbitrators to receive the necessary authority on that behalf. In this case a restriction of slaughter on the islands will not in point of equity be necessary. "Bier Majesty's Government are un­ able. to see any other than one of these two methods of restricting seal hunting in the disputed waters during the arbi­ tration which would be equitable to both parties." Salisbury States His Terms. A later note from Lord Salisbury to Sir Julian Pauncefote says: Witu lurtber reference to your telegram, I am not prepared to admit, as I gather that the Presiaent thinks, that we have ob­ jected to tlib arbitrators having jurisdic­ tion as to the damages inflicted In the past by the party against whom the award is given, I only objected to her Malesty's Government being liable for acts they have not committed. 1 am ready to consent to reference oa this point on the following term^: That In case the arbitrators shall decide in favor of the British Government, that. Government may ask them further to de­ cide whether the United States Government has, sir^ce 1885, taken any action in Behring Sea directly inflicting wrongful loss on Brit­ ish subjects, and, If so, to assess the dam­ ages Incurred thereby. That in case the arbitrators shall decide In favor of the Government of; the United htates that Government may ask them to decide further whether the British Gov­ ernment have, since 1885, taken any act on in Bering Sea, directly Inflicting wrongful lis? on the United States or their lessees, and, K so, to assess the damages incurrwl thereby. , * The note to Sir Julian Pauncefote of June 14, 1890, referred to in Lord Salis­ bury's reply, is as follows: WASHINOTON, June 14.--With reference to the note uhich I had the honor to au- dress you 'on .the 11th I desire to express my deep regret at having tailed up to the present time to receive from you the as­ surance which I had hoped to receive, that during the continuance of our negotiations for the settlement of the fur -seal question British sealing vessels would not bo inter­ fered with by United States revenue cruis­ ers in the Behring Sea outside of territorial waters. Having learned from statements In the public press and from other sources that the revenue cruisers Rush and Corwln are now about to bo dispatched to the Behring Sea, I cannot, consistently with the instruc­ tions I have received from my Govern­ ment, deter any longe*- the communication of their formal protest announced in my notes of the 23d ult and the 11th inst. against any such Interference with British vessels. I have accordingly the honor to transmit the same herewith. I have, etc., JULIAN PAUNCEFOTV. (Inclosure.) (Received June 14. 13:33, 180).) The undersigned, her Britaunic majesty's envoy extraordinary and minister plenipo­ tentiary to the United States of America, has the honor, by instruction of his Gov­ ernment, to make to the Honorable James G. Blaine, Secretary of Stat.) of the United States, the<fdIlowiiig: Her Majesty's Government has learned with deep reiret from notices which have appeared in the public press, tho accuracy of which has been confirmed by Mr Blaine's statements to the undersigned, that the United States have issued instructions to their revenue cutters about to be dis­ patched to Behring Sea under which tho !vet>sels of British subjects will again be ex­ posed under the prosecution of their legiti­ mate Industry on the high seas to unlawful lnter.erence nt tho hands of American officers. Her Britannic Majesty's Govern­ ment are anxious to co-operate to the fullest extent of their potter with the government of the United States In such measure us may ^e found to be ex­ pedient for the protection of tho seal iisherlea. They are at the present moment engaged In examining, In concert with the Government, of the United States, the best method of arriving at an agreement upon this point. But they cannot admit the right of the United States of their own sole motion to restrict for this purpose the free­ dom of navigation of Behring Sea, which the United States have themselves in former years convincingly and successfully vindi­ cated, nor to enforce their municipal legis­ lation against British vessels on the high f-eas beyond the limits of 'their territorial jurisdiction. Her Britannic Majesty's Government are therefore unable to pass over without no­ tice the public announcement of an inten­ tion on the part of the Government of the United States to renew the acts of inter­ ference with British vessels navigating outside the territorial waters of tho United States, of which they have previously had to complain. The undersigned Is. In consequence. In­ structed formally to protest against such Interference, and to declare that her Britannic Majesty's Government must hold the Government of the United States re­ sponsible for the consequences that may ensue from acts which are contrary to the established principles of international law. The undersigned, etc. J ULIAN PAUNCEFOTE. MRS.

UNCLE SAM boasts two negro women lawyers. ' To DO so no more is the truest re­ pentance. PEOPLE who have to live alone never find out who they are. • SALVATION ARMY women have been forbidden to wear ear-rings. THE man who lives only for himself is engaged in very small business. THE woman with the prettiest face is not always the most beautiful woman. IF you want to make a boy work with­ out knowing it, get him a safety bicycle. THE first woman to pass examination as a lawyer in Connecticut is Miss Mary Hill. Two OUNCES of attar of roses repre­ sent the refined product of a ton of rose­ buds. THERE are nearly 1,700 lawyers in» Boston, with scarcely enough business for 200. WHEN men are the most sure and ar­ rogant they are commonly the most mistaken. "How DO you like school, Tommy?" "Pretty well, mother; bat it's such a-, waste of my playtime." * THE only woman delegate sent to the International Labor Congress at Brus­ sels was from Poland. PARENTS tell others a great deal about themselves by the names they give their children. THE man who leaves a woman best pleased with herself is the one she twilS soonest wish to see.

THE woman who wears diamonds lav­ ishly always seems a vulgar creature to the woman who hasn't any diamonds to- wear. BECAUSE a Fresno (Cal.) woman was in the habit of mixing dough without first washing her ha&ds, her husband sought for a divorce. THE prejudice against the wearing of whiskers is reported to be becoming very marked in the leading clubs and res­ taurants of New York City.
