sentiment of antagonism to French control of the canal, in the belief that the bargain is a bad one, and in the deep seated desirs of British ship-owners to have an Krjfilish canal across the Isthmus. I'ho Government, which has acted from motives of political expediency and forethought, and does not believe it wise that the formal control of the canal should be in unglish hands, finds itself opposed by the whole business community, which confines itself to a purely com mercial view of the subject and objects to losing a promising investment.

CAPTAIN WEBB'S FATAL SWIM.

Drowned in the Whirlpool of

Niagara.

Buffalo, July 24.—Captain Matthew Webb, the noted English swimmer, perished la an attempt to swim across the whfrlpool rapids in the Niagara Kiver this afternoon, He was rowed in a stiff to a point in the rivor opposite the old Maid of tho Mist landing by John McClay, ferry man at the falls, and leaped from tbe boat at 4.02 o'clock. The daring awiramer passed the big rapids all right, keeping in the middle of the stream. When he struck the whirlpool, he was rushed to the Ameri can side, wh«re the wavefi, it is estimated, are from thirty to forty feet high. The last Keen of him he was throwing up one arm. His intention had been to pass the whirl pool on the Canada side. Bis shoot of the rapids was extremely thrilling. The refusal of the railroad hotels to have anythiog to do with what they termed " his going to his death" rendered the atiair, liuaucially, a failure. The river has been searched for two miles below tbe whirlpool, but no trace of Webb ha 3 been fouud. It is gene rally believed that he was engulfed in tho whirlpool. Webb leaves a wife and two children in England. He was followed by people in carriages, but they could i.ot get ahead of him, Kml Kyle, manager tor Captain Webb, has arrived from the falls, and gives up all hope oi his safety. jsiaqaea Falls, July 25.—' p to 10 o'clock to-iaght nothing more has been learned as to the fate of Captain Webb. In reply to inquiries before setting out on bis fatal Bwim.he said he first thought of swim ming the rapids last year when Captain Paul Boynton was talkiDg of doing it. However, It was only lately that he resolved on at tempting it. He came to the falls on the Ist of July, and examined the course and then made up his mind. When the rumour which had been circulated that be waa'd go over the falls in a robber bull was referred to, he gave a merry laugh and said the man who made that statement should be pnt into a rubber ball himself and sent over the falls, He said that in going down be would be carried under water by the current, and if he could hold his breath until be came to the surface he would be all right. He could easily, he said, hold his breath under water for a minute and a half. He would have to fight to keep at the top, and if he conld not do so, be said, it would be all up with him, BUFFALO, July 25.—Interest in the fate of Captain Webt> is unabated. The belief ia almost general that he perished in the whirlpool. His manager telegraphed Co Mrs Webb to-day : " Poor Mat has not tamed up yet, Hope tn find him," Some persons say that possibly Webo was alive in Boinc inaccessible place, Beta are said to have been made time he is alive, and one gentleman said he believed it was a dummy that went down the rapids, and that Webb will be found somewhere below the whirl pool. Eye-witnesses insist that there is no ground for such talk, or for the hope that be is alive.

[Later information by cable states tbat the body of the rash swimmer has been found below tho whirlpool in a badly-mangled condition,]

A CIRCUS PANIC.

A Tent Blown Down and Many Persons Sadly Hurt,

NOBFOLK (Va.), July 25.—A thrilling scene took place in the city of Portsmouth last nigbt. Between 4,000 and (,000 men, women, and children attended the exhibition of Nathan and Co.'s circus. After the per formance had commenced the wind began to blow quite heavily, causing a consider able movement of the canvas. The crowd, however, remained quiet, although they watched attentively a large rent which had been made in the canvas by the wind, and which was momentarily growing larger, the canvas being very old. A horse was brought on for the use of one of the bare backed performers. The tider mounted him and attempted to goon with his part of the performance, but the horse eecracd to be aware of the impending danger, atd refused to stay in the ring. It was at this juncture that the wind struck the tent with great. violence, tearing the canvas from the centre pole to the side curtain, and causing many of the poles to fall. The crowd then be came panic-striken, and rushed for the entrance in a wild endeavour to etcipe. Soon a cry of " Fire I" was heard above the screams of the women and childien and the shouts of the men, and ihe panic stricken crowd became peifectly deliriou with terror. The oil lamp in the iinj> had set the canvas on fire and it wa9 burning furiously, but a deluge of rain commenced falling, which extinguished the flames after the tent had been destroyed. Women and children were knocked down and run over, fathers and mothers were separated from tbeir children, and ran about iv every direction, calling for aid in find ing their lost one?. A few men only proved equal to the occasion, and stood bravely fighting the JJaiaea and assisting the women and children out from unions' the debris, .either by tearing or cutting the canvas. To add po the difficulties of escape, all who emerged from the tent were sud denly precipitated into a ditch about five

'eet deep and grown-up with briers. Here j ladies, children and men were piled in con- j fusion, and many were a'raost denuded of j clothing. To add to the terror of tho fire,' bells commenced to rin»and steim whhtleH ; to signal alarms, throwing the city into great excitement and turning out the whole I population. A preat many people were badly hurt and had limbs broken, but no one was killed outright.

The Queen's Health.— Republican Peeps at Royalty.

The New York " Times " London cable f says :—The Queen's lameness is entirely cured, and she is now able to take her usual walking exercise. Her mental in disposition, however, fctill continues. She | will not leave the country this autumn as , proposed, but insists on returning to Bal | moral. ■ The Duke and Duchess of Teck are in a sad plight. Their plate, linen, china and furniture are on sale now at the Kensing ton Palace, including their family relics. Tncre is much severe comment in society on the conduct of the Queen, with all her accumulated wealth, allowing such a dis grace as an auction in the royal family. THE PBINCE OF WALSS SNUBBED. Chicaoo, July B.—A cable special from London says : Henry Irving was greatly disappointed at his failure to receive the order of knighthood at the Fourth of July banquet. He fully expected to be si honoured, and the Prince of Wales was so sanguine of being able to secure his royal mother's consent to confer the order that he caused it to be privately understood among bis imme diate friends that the knighting for the fir*t time of an actor in England would be the great feature of the banquet, There can be no doubt that this understanding was largely inetrumentalinsecuringth* presence of many of the most distinguished guests at the dinner, and was the great motive which piompted the greater names upun the Jiat of 250 stewards to give their countenance to the reception. Ivor can there be any doubt that the Prince of Wales did all in his power to secure for Irving the courted honour and expected up to the last hour to succeed, So bitterly disappointed was the Prince over his failure that although he had consented to act as chief steward and to preside, he remained away from the pro ceedings.

DISLIKE or BER SUCCBSSOR, Ever kince the Queen's injury to her kneo and her consequent illness started talk of her successor, ncr Majesty has ap peared to entertain a certain kind of dis like to Wales. She has seemed to cherish every opportunity to slight or belittle him. She has refused recently to even attend Iris garden parties. It is thought her Majesty acted very ungraciously toward her eldest son in tbe Irving matter. Irving has led a studioun, meritorious, blameless life, and the Queen gave no other reason for her refusal to allow Wales to confer the order of kuight hood upon him on the occasion of the greatest reception ever accorded to an actor in .England than that no mere actor had ever received an order in England, and the Queen saw no reason to warrant a violation of the prece dent. Great wa9 the unklndncss of the Queen tp Irving; it amounted, practically, to a snub to the Prince, and such has been the state of her Majesty's mind for the last three months that many believe she meant to affront Wales more than to refuse Irving. However, London society, which is most affected by the royal action, has already takcu the hint from the Queen's conduct and begun to turn against tbe actor. It is becoming quite common now to hear noble gentlemen and ladies sneer at Irving as rather plebeian, anyhow as a person who dare not wear hia proper name, which is not so euphonious or dramatic aa Henry Irving, but is in reality nothing better than John Henry Broadrib. The Conservative press is beginning to ask whether it is not about lime to call a halt upon this Irving worship, etc.

JOHN BROWN'S MEMORY. The Queen's lameness has much im proved, and Her Majesty has allowed her royal attention to again revert to John Brown's memory. Bey. Mr Campbell, the established minister at Crathie and the Queen's spiritual adviser in Scotland, has felt himself compelled to advise her Majesty to somewhat modify the inscription (he ordered to be made on John Brown's monu. ment In tho Crathie kirkyard. The Qae<n answered that she would think about it, but at once gave orders to have the monument finished just as she had directed, Bayiag that if, when she went to Crathie in the antumn to personally attend the inaugura tion ceremonies, she found any changes.sbe would hold whoever made them responsi ble. Her Msje?ty bas also ordered tbe homo sbe built for John Brown at <Jrathie to be kept iv exactly the condition Brown left it when last witbin it, until the inaugura* tion of the monument, when she will per sonally superintend tho closing of the bouse. She has already ordered tbe per manent closing of the rooms John Brown occupied at Balmoral and Windsor, iv the exact state in which they were left by the gillie.

CANADIAN VILLAGE DES TROYED.

Houses Swept aivay by Floods

and Many Lives Lost,

New Yo»K, July 12. —I he " Herald's " lOndon, i.'nt,, special of yesterday siya ; Two o'clock this morning the school bell in the village of Petersville suburb, London, ie^!an to clang an alarm, which, in dua time, was taken up by the city fire bells, The Imorniog was .calm and still after the storm, to that the citizens when aroused by the bells, heard the air filled with shrieks and cries mlng'ed with sounds of vigorons chopping with axe«. The thriving euburb named, comprising about 1,600 souls, had been sud denly overwhelmed [with a torrrnt, caused by a tiemendous cloud-burst some dozen miles ap the couutry. The water rolled down in one resistless wave.ralsing the riye to twelve feet above the ordinary flood mark and destrojing about 200 dwellings. The village to-day presents a picture of sick) eningiuin, brick houses haying been levelleo and frame ones either carried bodily down the stream or tumbled over and over and left in inextricable confusion. People took refuge on roofs of buildings that remained stauding until relieved by men with boatej which work occupied six hours. Many of these people bad to cut their way out through the roofs with axes. So sudden was the catastrophe (hat men Who )eft home to raise the neigh • bnurs found themselves borne away on the crest of the flood, while their houses and little ones were carried away by aome mad current. One house floated down with lights burning inaide, and inhabited by a lady—Miss Wright. It struck the rai^r way bridge and the lady was taken out a raving maniac. A cradle passed down amid the confusion of furni ture, and contained a baby, which was dead, A little boy passed over the water works dam and was engulted. It is sup posed there was great loss of life, as fifty persons remain to-night unaccounted for. This afternoon the water-works pumping house went by the board. The pleasure steamer Princess Louise, costing §10,000, v/ent over the .dam and took the Byron Bridge along with her. All the iron bridges have gone, except one, and the city is isolated. To-night tie fires at the gssj works were extinguished and the mains broken by the wash-out, and the city is also in darkness, JDaniel Collinss ice house was swept away, together with 5,000 tons of ice and eight houEes. Colin a Hall, in Petersville, is now filled with refugees. The churches and residences on the high ground are also filled. L. V, Jeffrey threw open his house on the neigbi bouring height, and had tables spread on the lawn to feed the hungry refugees, A mass meeting of citizens was held to-night to devise relief measures. The damage done is not more than 830,000. A Later Account. London, Ont,, Jnly 12th,—A special says : The rain of the night before lasted over eight hours, almost continuously, and with tiemendous violence. About S n.ui tbe river rose rapidly,inundating WestLon don,and nearly every one in the village, which numbers about two thousand,had to take re f age on housetops. Many men were drowned Houses were washed over as if built of pasteboard and carried down the river. The water was never before known to teach such height, A full litt of. the fatalities canuotbe given. Only one bridge in the vicinity of London is fit for travel. Three or four are totally carried away, and others damaged. Buth railway bridges arc badly sprung, and traffic is suspended. On the Great Western Bailway men are work ing ham to save the rßtnainirjg bridges, In the neighbourhood rivulets were swollen to torrents and did terrible damage. Thefallon the strsets was so heavy as to undermine them. la some places houses wero carried down the river with people screaming on the roofs and inside. One house was lodged against soma trees a mile below the city, A boat followed, attracted by scream*, but was drawn away by persons on the roof tops, whom they rescued first. When they again went to the house there was no

j sound. The family is supposed to have j been drowned. The facts are not yet I known. The list of drowned will reach ' perhaps 30. The town of London West is : still under water. I 7 HE FLOOD As SKBN FROM THE COURT j HOUSE. The "Advertiser" gives the following description of the view from the roof of the Courthouse : From 9.30 to 10 a.m. the view is that of a lake one mile across In each direction, in which stands dozons of trees and houses. Branches of trees hang in the yellow water, and fhe roofs of the houses and the upper parts of their walls showabove it. The surtace of the lake is strewn with boards, timbers and debris of all kinds, The whole of Kensington makes a part of the lake. N o sign of life is visible in the doomed village, except men in row boats passing from house to house. The houses which are left standing are half submerged in the water. Une stands in the middle of the stream where it was floated and stranded in the early morning. The water in the south branch, which is nearly up to the roadway of the Westminster bridges, rushes impetuonsly into the lake, carrying down large quantities of brushwood, boards and timbers. The Yellow Lake is overhung by a sleepy mist, above which clouds hang heavy and dark, threatening to renew their work of destruction. As she watches the gloomy spectacle, ghastly objects float under Westminster Bridge. The crowds upon it start, and scream to the boatman on the lake. One skiff goes to where the river rushes into the lake, but cannot stem the current. The boat waits and meets a float ing object. One of the men in the boat seizes it, and far down the stream hauls ashore the corpse of a man.

Volcanic Disturbances. — Two Central American Villages Engulfed.

New York, July 3.—-The Panama " Star and Herald " of June 22nd says :— The volcano of umelepe, in Lake Nicaragua, is in eruptiorj. When the crater first broke forth the people fled to the churches, fearing that the whole island would be destroyed. The valley of the Atrats, in the State of Canca, conj tinues to be the centn-Jof volcanic activity. at RioLucio, forty miles from the a tlantir, the earth opened in many places, throwing out very line sand in a heated state, while a subterranean nolae was heard resembling that niado by boiling water. At Turbo, on the gulf of Urabo, the earth opened and water issued, flooding the streets to a depth of two feet. Many houses were shaken down, The small villages of Bujurea and Nicurio were completely engulfed. The mouth of the river Leon, which empties into the Atlantic, is completely closed up, and all over the district the movement of earth is so continuous that the inhabitants aro emigrating. A Blight earthquake who felt at Mampas, on the River Magdalen, followed by a sharper one. Shocks weio also felt at San Salvador and Guayaquil.

French Journalists Duelling.

A duel, arising out of the debate in the Chamber on tbe Tonquin question, was fought near Paris on July 12th. Emanucl a reno Gambetta, delegate from Corsica, and Boubee,a member of the staff of tbe Koyalist journal "Ue Clarion," were the combatants, 'Ihe journalist was wounded twice. Paul de Casiagnac challenged Ferry on account of differences during the same debate ; but Feiry took no notice of the hostile message. On the 13th M. Doryfus, of the "tfrance,"and M. Judet, of tho "Lanterno," fought a duel with swords; Doryfus was wounded in the right side.

France and the New Hebrides.

Speaking of the French in Oceanica, the Paris " Temps " of July 7 says : -"Franco and England made a covenant in 1878 not to annex tbe Hew Hebrides. Since then a company o! colonists of XV ew Caledonia have bought several of those islands and obtained concessions in othora. In order to counter act tbe covetous designs of Australia, it became necessary to supplement the vague covenant by according to that company rights similar to those granted by Great Britain to tho British Worth Borneo Com pany. A despatch, July Bth, says it is stated that the French Cabinet baa resolved to despatch a note to Karl Granvllle pointing out that the contemplated annexation of the Wow Hebrides is contrary to the en» eagement previously entered into by Great Britain.

The black flag was displayed in some obscure places during the celebration of tbe anniversary of the fall of the Baatile, on the Hth July, Unfavourable weather somewhat damped the enthusiasm of the people during the day ; but at night tbe festivities were of surpassing brilliancy. At Koubalx, the rioters tried on the 16th ware sentenced to imprisonment: for from oue to three months. The prisoner* pro tested, and declared they were snarchistc Tho Police Commissioner was threatened with death.

The Pope has summoned a French Bisbop to Home to connilt with him on tbe condition of the Church in France.

A wealthy planter of Misoissippi, and Sylvia Lambert, his houieketper, were gaoled on the 23rd for trying to poison Mrs Dyar, the planter's wife, by cooking the head of a moccasin snake (a venomous rep tile) in her coffee. The r>ev. W. Befcber recently an nouaced himself as a "cordial Christian evolutionist," but does not agree with the agnosticism of Spencer, Hnxley, and Tyndall. He believes the animal part of man is evolved from beings below him, while in his spiritual nature he is the son of God. Man, he said, is not sinful by pature, but becomes so voluntarily. Be does not bolieve in tho fall of Adam or the inheritance of his gnilt.

DROWNING AT WHAN GAROA.

There is now no doubt regarding the fate Of tho man John Beaton, who was sup. posed to have been drowned by the upsetting of a boat at Wliangaroa, on the 13th instant. Constable O'Keilly tele graphed to Superintendent Thomson to-day, stating that the body bad been found this morning at Pupako Kivor by Daniel Hayes. An inquest was to have been held this aftornoon.

The several allotments in the St. Stephen's estate, on a 60 years' lease, btought^from £10 to £14 per annum. At 3.30 this afternoon a number of school children were crossing Queen-street at its junction with Wyndham-street, when a boggy, driven by a Mrs 'Williams, of Ksmuei'd, came past at a canter. The horse knocked down a little girl named Kate Lynch, whose parents live in Princes s'reet, and before she could be recovered one wheel of the vehicle passed over her leg. Singularly enough, however, she did not seem to be much injured, for she at once got np and limped away, ss istod by her companions.
