( Special Telegram to TUB ir.v.The \ \ situation in New Jersey , HO far as thu republican ticket Is ronccrnpd , 1s more hopeful than It has been at any time. That the republicans will carry the state there Is little doubt. Reports from thu south ern countli's have been so favorable that there is a general strengthening all along the line. The discovery of great democratic frauds has hail n great deal to do with this renewed confidence. Leon W. Kendnck of Hobokcn has unearthed a gigantic mass of fraud in the district , and under his super vision the first day's ' registration has been overhauled. It shows that 1,700 fraudulent names are enrolled in the registry books. Thu list Is composed of men who formerly ro- Hidcd in Hobokcn , dead men nnd fictitious iianic-s. The names were copied from the old poll lists for the past fifteen years , and names of men that were long since gathered to their fathers , or have moved out of Urn district , were entered by scores regaidless of the law. There will be n great falling off In the pro hibition vote in the state this year. It is to bo noticed that General Fisk , prohibition candidate for presldont , has not been stump ing his native state , as might havu been Tlio republican majoiity in this state Is estimated a t il.UOO. _ Democratic Discord. NKW YoitK , Nov. 4. [ Special Telegram to TIIK BKK. | A portent of some significance in thu midst of democratic boasting has cropped out. It IH a reiteration on behalf of Senator Gorman and W. II. Hnrnum of the fact that they are managing the campaign In compliance with the president's wishes , and that they have deferred their own jink-mcnl In many things to the vic'vs of Chairman liricu and Mr. Cleveland. lien Lofevro , Col. Brico's errand boy , was hurrying around the Fifth Avenue hotel last night , and his presence brought out the story of the protest Gorman made against thu employment of nn Ohio ex-congressman In any confiden tial capacity. A quarrel With Hrico resulted , the chairman declaring that Lcfevro was Ins personal friend , nnd would have to stay. Gorman had no important business which ho was willing to trust to Lefevro , but Chair man Brice sent him to the president at Wash ington with messages of the most confiden tial character. Lately there have been some leaks about matters which were considered campaign secrets , and Gorman and Harnuni have been furious. They have emphasized their former declarations concerning the limit of their re sponsibility. Whatever disaster hanpuns , it IH plain that thesu two shrewd maimpors do not propose to have their reputations wrecked , nor do they intend to bo held up us scapegoats in the event of Cleveland's de feat. feat.Gorman Gorman was not enthusiastic over the parade - rado last night. Hu thought the money useti for it might have been spent U better pur2 pose , and ho did not agree with the local leaders who explained that it was necessary for the boys to have a grand "whooji-up" be fore the election. A fresh contingent of Marylandem has been around , nnd through them some of George's alleged views have been allowed to leak out. While Chairman Brice is babbling over with expectancy , nnd Harniim Is claimIng - Ing everything after his usual fashion , the Maryland leader is merely hopeful that the Vote in New York city will bo big enough to offset the republican majority above Harlem. UcsortliiR to New YOIIK , Nov. 4. [ Special Telegram to Tun Hr.u.J Nothing more plainly Illustrates the fact that the democrats realize that de- cat IB staring them in the face than the desperate methods to which they are resortIng - Ing in order to try to save themselves. It has been a pet project of Hrico , Uarnum nnd other democratic leaders In New York to devise some move whereby they ojuld arrest members of thu republican national execu tive committee under charges of corruption or contemplated violation of election laws. Tno frantic attempt against Colonel Dudley In this way and the attempted forgery of the name of Senator Quay simply proves the desperation of the democrats. In further following this desperate resort the home of Hon. Samuel Fessenden , the Connecticut member of the national executive committee , was burglarized Friday night and all the desks and tables in the house having drawers were broken open in the hope of finding Homo letters or papers which could be dis torted to the pet purpose of proving that the republicans aru contemplating corruption at the election. AU papers that were found in thu desks or drawers of the tables wore opened and examined and the floor left Htravvn witti-thcm. It was evidentl.v the hope that something could be found that could be made to servo the democratic party. It is needless to say that nothing was found In thu homo of Senator Fessenden either to scandalize the national committee or that could Ijo used In furthering fho democratic plot to gum thu vote of Connecticut by foul means. Tin * Outlook in Connecticut. IlAKTroun , Conn. , Nov. 4. [ Special Tele gram to Tin : Ur.e. ] This state will give the republican national ticket not less than 2,000 majority. Figures are hero in the possession of the state committee to show it. As for the state ticket , the democrats conccdo it to thu republicans. The total vote of thu state Is likely to roach 14. ' ,000. The republican es timate is : Harrison , 72,000 , or possibly 72,500 ; Cleveland , CO.WX ) , leaving between Jl.OOO and I ! , .MX ) for the prohibitionist nnd labor tickets together. Thu democrats nro not disposed to intrust anybody with their estimates , but from an authoritative source your correspon dent learned that their reticence U duo to the fact that a poll of the state shows such largo { julns for the republicans as to frighten the managers into silence. The troubles in the southern part of the state over the dis posal of patronage have been apparently ef- fcctuallv smoothed , but if such is n fact it is duo more to the local managers' interference than to any action taken by Chairman Bar- mint , and it may bo assumed that it will not uffect the uesult. The Sackvillo letter won hundred * of doubtful Irishmen , and the Irish vote of the state fs now practically solid for Harrison , Morton and protection. Double Fatality at a Rally.

LOCKHAVEN , Pa. , Nov. 4. There was nn explosion last night In the Kettle Creek Coal company's mine , thirty mites west of this city. The explosion occurred In a new drift in which twenty-one persons were at work. As soon as possible after the explosion the mine was entered and fifteen dead bodies carried out. Four other men badly Injured were found , one of whom has sinre died , and the others are likely todie. . The cause of the explosion is unknown , but Is supposed to have been the striking of a fissure or a pocket of gas. This afternoon the disfigured and naked body of a miner was found fifty feet from the mouth of the air shaft , through which it hud been blown. The names of the dead so far as learned are : Samuel Killinger , Park Donnelly , Michael Cm-ran and the three Carlstou brothers. All but those named above were Hungari ans ur Italians , whose names are not fur nished. A driver named Furrol was enter ing the drift when the explosion occurred- He was thrown toward thu mouth and cs. capcd. His mule was killed , The force of the explosion was shown in the fact that the bodies were blown clear out of the mouth of the drift. Everything possible was done for the injured by the mine physician. The bodies of the dead were taken charge of by an undertaker and prepared for intermont. The coroner of the countv w.is notified and will hold an inquest to-morrow. The niiuo inspector of the district has also been sum moned. Although the accident occurred before dark yesterday , it was not given out by the officials of the company until to-day , they being advised of it late last night. It is thought that In making a blast a"ga feeder" was struck , filling thu chamber with gus , which , coming in contact with a naked lamp , produced the explosion. A "gas feeder" is u pocket of gas imbedded in the coal. The superintendent says that the accident could not have been foreseen , and no blame at taches to anycne. I'liu.MiKi.riiiA , Pa. , Nov. 4. A special from Williamsport says : It is rumored that the direct cause of the explosion was the In experienced use of dynamite. In conversa tion with one of the drivers who escaped , it was learned that an Italian had gotten 100 sticks of dynamite from the store-keeper in the morning and had also gotten 100 caps , and had returned after a fuse , but as there were none in stock , It is supposed that he tried to set it off In some other way , thus causing the explosion. In a blacksmith shon near the scene of thr disaster lays the charred and unrecognizable remains of August PierRon , who was blown out through the air shaft fifty feet In the air , and some of his clothes can bo seen banging to the limb of a largo tree near by. Next tc him is Mike Curran , who was blown 200 feel outpf the uiouth of the mine , and was fount dead in a ditcb , Rtill clinging to the handle ol hrs shovel. Ho leaves a wife and sever small chileren. licsidu him lay P J. Don nelly , who was also blown out of the moutl of the mine. Donnelly leave's ' a wife ant four chjldron. John Farrel. the mule driver , tells thli story : "I was behind pushing a car , and ii sticking up my head , saw n flash. : immediately dropped to the groUnd , and , moving as quickly as possible towards thi mouth of the drift , escaped uninjured , Mj mule and a Swede miner alongside of tin animal were kilted Instantly. I felt but lit tie of the effect of the explosion , and Iti farce must have been nil above mo , althougt all the timbers at the uiouth of the shaf were carried out 200 feet beyond the uioutl of the drift.

The largo farmers' movement in wheat that sprang up so sud denly a few days ago continues well up to the high mark and Is. , beginning to be felt in large receipts at'thc terminal stations.

AN ERlfviNtJ 1USHOI * . Ho Dies U'hllo graveling in Europe With His MlatrcHs. GIUND lUrins , Mich. , Nov. 4. Ever since the death In Franco , a mouth ago , of Bishop D. D. Patterson ot the little sect known as "The Children of Zlon , " scandalous stories have been afloat regarding his relations to Mary Hawlcy , a woman of his flock , who was designated as "The Handmaid of Christ. " When the bishop , who was married and had n family , left hero two years ago , Mary joined him In New Yorn and accompanied him In his European travels until his death. A child was born to them , and when Elder Spencer of this city visited the oishop In Scotland and became ac quainted with all the facts , ho deposed Bishop Patterson , relegating him to private life. Since the bishop's death the story has been spreading , und at last the church lead ers have been compelled to toke notice of it. After frequently considering the subject , an address has been. Issued to the public , signed by Elders John Patterson , who is a brother of the dead bishop , David Spencer and C. K Hevell , saying they had felt every confidence in Bishop Pattcrsop. and could Dot believe the rumors of wrong until they had complete evidence that ovil.exi.sted. They have inves tigated and discovered the shameful truth , and now clear themselves and wish the pub lic to know they uphold no evil. Henceforth all meetings of these "Children ofAnn" will bo open to the public , and the mysterious so crct rites established by the bishop will bo abolished. The Weather Indication * .

Therefore , if I make some suggestions upon that subject , its hard ships , the remedy atralnst admitted wrongs , ho motives of party loaders with the view of entrapping the people and subserving cor- Kir.itions , you will , 1 trust , consider It alone md beyond politics. It is to be hoped wo are caching the dividing line between patient suffering , submission and the arrogance of > ride and the avarice of wealth. This you an only approach through the avenue of cgislatiou and by the arm of the law. That .he producers have Just cause of complaint tgalnst railroad corporation appeals , poll- .Ions , high taxes , high rates of interest , nortcages on farms and chattels attest. The icopfe of this state have sought relief by cgislation and failed. They have sought It by commissioners and 'ailed. These attcmuts have usually icon followed by corporations giving n stone when you asked for bread and increasing the stripes to punish your temerity. In Impotent Icspalr you sometimes ask : How long , oh -.ord , how long ! 1 reply , when you can s- suinu thu feeling of Indignation , if you have lot thu courage to imitate the deeds ol your revolutionary lathers , when to check wrong they threw the tea in Boston harbor. When you can organize , unite and act for your own nterest. When politics shall end with the national ticket and you can say to the ringster , the corporation capper. Thus far and no farther. Three-fourths of the people of this state arc farmers. Wnat secures and > rotects the interest of one does of all re- rardless of politics.

Neither legislature nor commission furnish redress against extortionate rates , Even o-day charges are doubled and trebled west of the Missouri river. A very eminent lawyer one of the com mission clerks , Judge Mason after illus- .rating . the enormity of these excesses spoke of thorn as "like highway robbery. " The commission boiled over with indignation and were begging some one , any ono to hold them , and weru eager apparently that the court should decide If it had power to fix rates. Finally the court so held and the commission , except Attorney General Leeso md Treasurer Willard , collapsed. Its courage all departed and it at once became as'dovelikc as the most grasping corporation might desire. Until the time for nominating state ofilccrs by the republican or dominant partiba o > mo-when it rallied Into life. Then ; ho commission actually issued au ordux. compelling roads to transport on something ilear thd ba < ls of charges oust of the river. This spasm of virtue served its purpose. Laws was rcnomiiuited. Then the cry went up that the order would bankrupt the roads , confiscate their property , and orga'n , lawyer and statesman wrung their hands , fell on each other's nocks and wept , and Laws wilted. He was equal to the occasion. With out courage to reverse the order , he cunning ly submits a resolution , carried by his voto- sollclting corporation , which the roads will probably not answer until the day after the day of Judgment. The politics of the man who fills the ofllco of the secretary of st.ato is of no importance to cither party , but his action as member of the commission is of great importance to the [ icople , and ho has notified them In advance that he is against them. It will be curious to note how far the people will stand for their own interests by rebuking a faithless public ofllcer. So with the whin and spur of tills same corporation controlled machine you will , under the threat of political damnation , bo forced to elect a legislature to do their bidding , and you must endure the same humiliation you always experience nt the dis solution of every legislature , of wanton ex travagance , reckless expenditure , base be trayal , by corrupt use of money. This was fully illustrated two years ago when the Union Pacific and H. & M. generously pro vided shrewd attorneys , eloquent politicians and unscrupulous editors to manipulate pri maries , conventions and the legislature. The Union Pacific not only robbed the people by extortionate rates , but robbed the govern ment by refusing to make payment even of the interest on the bonds loaned , and con gress provided a commission to examine how their enormous revenues were disposed of , and they did. Princely salaries were paid to president , attorneys , managers , and officials generally. To day your state issues are real. The only question Is whether corporations or the people shall control. You know it well , and you know In some counties the roads run con ventions and nominate men known to bo their tools , and then the people tire forced by party ties to be their own executioners , by electing corrupt men to power , well knowing that power will bo exercised to their injury. Let me read some testimony taken before the Union Pacific investigating commission. Mr. Thomas L. Kimhall , n general ofllcer of the Union Pacific with n largo salary , with all his influence , patronage and money to bo used for the road against the people a straight republican when straight republi canism , as generally happens , can bo made subservient to the roads when sworn as a witness and asked as to his duties , said : "I have written for the press more or less in de fense of the policy of the Union Pacific com pany , not voluntarily but by request of the company. Also , when questions of legisla tion have come up , I have been detailed oc casionally to assist in explaining to thu law makers , the position of the Union Pacific company , ti.o effect of the proposed legisla tion against its interest and , in some ill- ' stances' , to do what 1 could on my own Judg ment to defeat thu proposed legislation. " That fully explains the straight politics ol men like Kimball and Thurston. Ho also says his articles were of ten used as editorials in many papers. This fully explains the independence am : Integrity of straight republican railroad organs. When asked who assisted , ho said : "Tho employes , the legal department. " Their duties were tlio Bamo as his , they would bo at the legislature for the purpose of "pre venting the passage of unfriendly legislation hostile legislation , measures that 1 wantci' defeated in the interests of the company. " When asked If ho aided in the defeat of mem bers ho replied : "I have influenced thu horn ( nation and tlio election or defeat of candi dates for the legislature. " It was also proven that the other pious , straight republican , Thuniton , organized anil paid Union P.icillu money to a Hessian bane : of men , , who agreed to be called straight re publicans and solid democrats and were massed upon the men thu people elected as legislators , as illustrated in the testimony of Crawford ; a .solid democrat , dvldcntly tuo most conscientious and truthful of the band Ho said ho Was' employed aa n lobbyist .by John M. ThurRton , and.paldby him "to en lighten' ' members , af the legislature. Tim was good , "to enlighten. " The people hue lcltcr send men who need no onllghtenlnt , from such source. ' .

The ellort.s wo uulo were successful and legislation inlm- c.il to the Union Pacific railway was pro- cnted. Who were associated wltti yoo In this vorkl Mr. Van Dorvnrt , Mr. Gurlo.y and Mr. 'liurston , of course. After Thurston finished fishing ho comic- cended to testify , and said : "A part of my luty was to take charge of the Interests of he Union Pacific In the legislature of the itate. 1 amended bills to make them reason- bio from n railroad standpoint. Hear In nlnd , I was not there arbitrating between he people and the railways ; I was thcro em-eventing the railway interest , from n allwily standpoint , and endeavoring to mod- fy proposed legislation us the managers of he company represented to mo were proper or raihy.iy Interests. "Watched for bills that weio dangerous to allway Interests. " Hero vou have the vholo conspiracy , A humiliating picture. There is no objection that Mr. Kimball and Thurston should give to the Union Pa- Hie all their talent for u liberal salary. Mr. I'hurston's salary Is now said to be $1,000 per lonth , nnd his principal business for the last vo months has been to organize Clubs and inko political speeches. For whose benefit ! V company which cannot pay its debts cer- ainly will not donate the eloquent attorney o defend the people against their cncroacll- ncnts. Mr. Thurston is frank. Ho swears 10 nets and thinks from the railroad stand- lolnt us against the people. Hut wo do ob- ect that the people that the republican Kirty should place its Interests nnd destiny n the hands of men who are paid and pledged .o defeat their interest. When men like rhurston , miisked behind saintly cowls , vear broad phylacteries nnd thank God they iru not as other men , and refuse to eat wth mbllcans and sinners , yet boldly swear they ndeavor to control legislation from a rail- oad standpoint. They ask you to duplicate such a legislature s they had last session. You are nsked for ympatuy toward the suffering corporations , vhilo they huvo mocked at your complaints heso many years. The roads nro unchecked nd defiant and extortionate to-day. Let mo rive you two cases : Within u few miles of his very spot one of your neighbors sends pples by the car load to Broken How , Ouster ounty , about two hundred and twenty miles , nd pays over $120 per car load , while from icro to Chicago , double the distance , one-half hat sum is charged , so ttiat four times as nach Is charged for a Nebraska product , be- we n Nebraska points , sold in a county vhero farmers pay from ! ) to 5 per cent > er month for the nso of money md ret 15 cents per bushel for corn , "cstcrday another of your neighbors returned rom Omaha , where lie conferred with u .illroad manager as to the rate for apples by arload to Clmdron , a distance of MO miles , lo was startled when told $25' ! . Ho asked vhat was the rate to Chicago , the same dis- ancoand was answered$50. Homcekly asked vhy this difl'uronce , why charges were five lines as much within the state as without , ind was politely informed that apples were cry high at Chadron , that they retailed nt cents each. That was the bold and infa- nous excuse of the highwayman. The road , meaner than an ordinary thief , takes tlc | dlf- erenee between the cost of apples in Ne- nnha county and the fabulous price induced jy their highway robbery and puts ( t in their iwn treasury , and when the legislature gives he people of this state no relief , you are asked to elect another such legislature as the ast , who will vote against tlio wishes.and In- Lcrests of three-fourths of tlio people of this couuty nnd State. Wonderful that party zeal ind'dovotlon can bp Indulged mat _ such fear- 'ul cbstT'lhey wa'nt'you to elect the anmo meii who Will 'attest .Tliureton's gang of itrnlglit republicans and solid democrats to leal the people. Crawford says this Hessian > und sum ; songs , told anecdotes , fed them on cigars and wine , but don't believe that influ enced legislators. Evidently Thurston or some other official came along afterwards vith the saddle bng wnlch contained the hirty pieces of silver. A FATAL RUNAWAY. John Human Sustains n Concussion of the Bruin. A probably fatal runaway occurred last evening on Thirteenth street Just north of Douglas. John Human , who resides with ils mother and sister on Davenport street , was out driving In a single rig with another , -oung man whose name could not bo nscer- .alned. In rounding tbo corner from Doug las into Thirteenth street In front of the MUlard at a moderate rate of speed , one of the rear axles of the buggy gave away with a loud crack , and the horse becoming frightened by the letting down of the ve- ilclo started down Thirteenth street ai a furious pace. Both men kept their seats in .ho buggy until in front of the Turf and Field , when they were both thrown out , Hainan first , with the other man on top of him The horse with Lho shattered buggr kept on down Thir teenth. The man , whose name could not bo learned , leaped to his feet and pursued the Hying horse , leaving Hainan outstretched in the street unconscious. Ho was picked up by Ofllcer Shields and several bystanders and carried Into Dr. Cou's office In thu med ical institute , where a hasty examination showed that there was no fracture of the skull , but that the man had sustained a seri ous if not fatal concussion of the brain. His breathing came In short , quick gasps nnd the froth and blood exuded from his lips in great clots. The doctor thought ho could not hvu. In thu course of an hour his friends arrived. Hu was still unconscious , and nothing could bo learned ot thu man who was with him. AHKKSTHD IN KION'VKH. A fiwlnillci1 Who Worked tlio Frank .lames Deal Here , in the Tollx. Word has reached this city to the effect that nn individual , passing himself off on the uninformed public us being Frank James , the well-known bandit , was arrested at Den ver , Colo. , Friday. This .samo individual visited Omaha about three weeks ago , and made similar pretentious. The fact that ho swindled Dan Farrell , of Council Hluffs , out of 120 , was made known , but that he oper ated extensively la Omaha , has Just been ad mitted by the authorities. Ho represented himsulf to thu manairi'munt of the Union Pa cific here as being Frank James , and stated that ho was in the employ of tlio Union Pa cific as a spy Ho produced a letter to Unit eflect , purporting to have been written by General Manager Kimball , and upon thu btrcngth of this was furnished transporta tion over the road and was advanced rnonov to defray expenses. He made a similar rail on the Burlington , and reaped n like linrvost. Other roads wore visited , in enoh case the sharper being remunerated for his "troublu" but to what extent has not yet boon di vulged. At the time hu called at the Union Pacific Mr. Kimball was absent from the city , and he experienced no difficulty In ob taining anything hu requested.

The sub Ject mutter arises from thu Suekvillo Incl- ilunt iiml thu great conservative- meeting Saturday night. At thin meeting there wora several speeches and n rattling letter fiom Lord Randolph Churchill. The loading orator - tor said : "Parliament on Tuesday must pay attention to the insult 1'resident Cleveland - land has paid Unhand. In order to win Irish support the United States government has utoopod to an act of gross vulgarity and barbarous Insolence- her ' - majesty's am bassador , which placed It beyond the palo ol clvIlUcd polities for the low and paltry pur pose of catching the Irish vote. The presi dent of tlio United States has turned her majesty's ambassador out of doors with nn little ceremony as n publican ejects o drunuen pot-boy. What 1 wish you to marie about that Incident was that in America the short , plain way to get the Irish vote was to. ussuino a forming hatred towards England and to load ICnghmd with insults. " Inasmuch as tlio .Sunday Observer is to church day what the Times is to week day readers In cost and inltncnce , I select Its edi torials n t a perfect echo of the general senti ments of the English public on the presiden tial question. It thus begins its leader : "It Is Just as wull , perhaps , In the interest of Anglo-American amity that next Tuesday determines the presidential contest. He- tween now and then then ) is scarcely thno to developa [ fresh occasion for twisting the taij of the Hritish lion with a view to propitia ting the Irish vote. Once the quadrennial saturnalia of the professional politician are over the common sense of the American im- tivo Is sure to assert itself , and all the sooner , perhaps , because of the sorry specta cle which its tlr.st magistrate lias presented Within the last few days. " After reviewing the Sackvillo Incident the Observer continues : "There is nothing that pleases the American public better than fern n secretary of state to take down 11. Britisher n peg or two , and , paradoxical as i" " may seem , the feeling is not uncomplimentary to us. There is no nation for whoso opinion the American raren a straw as compared with that of the mother country. If this bo a sentiment wo ought to know notli- Ing about , the Americans have themselves , to blame , as any Englishman who has enjoyed the unbounded hospitality of our cousins on the other side of the Atlantic can testify. But thcro Is nothing that an Amor- lean bates worse ihan for his country to ba put In tho-wrong with us. It Inattcrs not whether through official mil or stupidity or more interested motives. " The editorial in respect to English inter ests in the presidential contest remarks : "If there was anything of moment In thu words Lord Snckvillc used It would bo the implica- ion that the American democratic party fav ored England more than the republican party did. As u matter of fact this country han nothing to choose between them. Krom President Uuchaimn's tuna to that of Presi dent Cleveland our foreign ofllce lias had" to do with a United States government drawn exclusively from the republican party , and barring thu episodes connected with the wr.r of the secession uml the Fenian raids on Canada , wo huvo had nothing whatever to complain of. During this long republican Ascendancy our relations with the United States were most amicable , and oven as regards the fisheries question It WAS settled for the time bciujt in the most friendly way by the Washington treaty of 1871 , nor must It bo forgotten that it was President Arthur , a republican of ro- mblicuns , who flrst suggested In his presl- ilcntial message the formation of an Interna tional commission to determine the rights and wrongs of the fisheries matter. The evi- ilcnco of an open mind which tlio Cleveland administration manifested during the nego- latlons identified with Mr. Chamberlain in dicated rather the fair-mindedness of the American nation than the policy of a polit ical parly. It is in that light certainly that wo in this country accept It. Nor is there anything to show that American * , whether they choose Mr. Cleveland for their next president or Mr. Harrison , mean to depart from the common sense course which they have pursued during such time as wo IMVB indicated. The idea of the British government seeking to tuko up a party sldo In American domestic politics is so absurd as to make us Incredulous of the whole accusation. It can not bo too distinctly understood that whether the democrats or republicans triumph at next Tuesday's election , we in this country shall still expect that the American nation will deal with foreign matters as a people and not as n faction. " J. learn from the foreign ofllco that n blue book containing the correspondence of the Sarkvillc incident , now in course of rapid preparation , will bo laid before parliament us soon as possible after the resumption of the session next Tuesday.
