In view of thetToitsd SitatesPresident's decision ia the case of the bids of the Detroit Dry D<xk Company, that trader exfeting treaties naval vtMsel* cannot be built on the Great LvJt»s» the TJoited State* Na**l Department will now press opoo Coogws* the importance of allowing It* estimate of MCMKWdoL for theaccamulatfoa of » supply of rapid- firing rifles for the awriEary navy. One of the most forcible arguments that will be presented ia the fact that Oraat Britain already has a. number of smalt vessels which can be £ deftly taken into the Great Lakes rough the Canadian canals, and in ttme of warrantee the American Great lakes cities,, which are now defenceless. With » proper supply of guns oo hand, however, it is argued that » large number of the magnificent American lake steamen could be rapidly armed in an emergency, and could easily overpower the British gunboats, which are not armoured vessels. As it would take several years to make these guns* the department will ask that the appropriation desired be made immediately* in order that the work of coo■traction may begin. A telegram from Little Rock. Ark.. dated Sad November, says : The criminal cases against Fttzaimmoos and Julian. Brady and Corbett. were dismissed at noon oo condition that the men leave the State as soon as they can conveniently do so. The restrainina order preventing the men from fighting in the State of Arkansas remains in force, and all chance of bringing off the fight in th» State » over, even if Fitzsimmoos would be wißinst to fight in this State, and be stated unmistakably yesterday that he would do nothfag of the kind. Alarming news has again been recexved In Paris regarding the health of the Cfcarawitch. The Figaro states that in consequence of his serious condition, his Imperial Highness wiß not be able to proceed to La Turbie, near Nice. *& e *® * villa has been prepared for him. The Gaufois publishes the same news, and adds that the Csirewitcb has been much affected by the recent sudden change of temperature. He has had several attacks of blood-splitting, and the hemorrhage has been so profuse that the patient has been much weakened. The English Football Union have not found fa possible to get together a team to undertake a tour in New Sooth Wales* and announce the abandonment of the undertaking This outcome of the Invitation Issued by the New South Wales Union is scarcely surprising (remarks the Home NewsX for 20 men at least would have been necessary to form a team and to provide for disablements* while the number of players who could rorsake their vocations for six months in order t»t»ke a trip to Australia roust necessarily be very limited. Thoasrh the tour in Australia has fallen through the authorities announce the receipt of another invitation to send a team to South Africa, and that they wit!, if possible, get a side together. As a similar aflair. under the auspices of the Bogey Union, was successfully organbed only a few years back there can be no very strong reason why the trip should not be undertaken, provided that players of an ability sufficient to uphold in worthy fashion the reputation of British football can get away for three months. Should the authorities succeed in their endeavor —and no such formidable side as left these shores on the last occasion will be absolutely necessary—Lord Hawke's team of cricketers will scarcely have left the Cap* before the Rugby Union band of football players set sail for the South Afrkxan cofoaies. r An interestinst presentation has been mad* to Madame Antoinette Sterling (who- wiß shortly leave for America) by a deputation of ladies representing the National British Woman's Temperance Assocfetfen. the gift taking the form of a heart-shaped brooch, composed of dramoods> to which was attached a bow of white ribbon, the official badge of the society. _ ...,., Kfar Kbama and suite arrvved tn Glasgow oo the 24th Oct. from Edinburgh, and were received by the Lord Provost and magistrates.
