REPORT- The I 8 Government to Lxclude Socialists and Anarchists Londojj Aug A dispatch from Brussels says that considerable consternation was caused there among some the American del gates to the mbor congress most of whom are not Americans by report that the American government intended to take advantage of the absence of such a large number of socialists and anarchists by denying admittance to the United States to all of them who are not citizens on their return As most of them had been demonstrating wbat an unhappy country the United States was it as not thought that the rumor would affect them as much as it evidently did Foreigners who had been running down America in thtir speeches turned pale at-the Idea of not being permitted to go back to America and seemed suddenly to conceive an intense affection for that country British delegates seemed much amused at the situation and one of them remarked that it might be a good idea forFngland to follow suit TbeBeigiun authorities are much stirred up lest any anarchists should conclude to-take up a permanent abode in Brussels and tho police are keeping a vigilant watch on undesirable foreigners The English delegates that is those who are really British and not fugitives from continental Europe appear thoroughly disgusted with tbeir experience and have shown their determination not to take any part in the socialistic propaganda WONDERFUL SKIN GRAFTING iglit Hundred Pieces of 1 leslt Put on tVilliain Shaw's Body Lima0 Aug 21 One of the most wonderful oases of skin grafting that hms been made in the history of the medical science is in progress here up to the present writing over 800 pieces of flesh having been taken from human arms and grafted to the body of Wiliam Hhaw who was scalded at the Standard oil refinery on the fourth of July fuy "aIo gt 1 1 uew as on the verge oi the grave Careful treatment and gentle nursing Raved him hut bis lower limbs were so badly scaldedas to render him entirely helpless The grnfts are about three-eightbs of an inch in diameter and are taken from the arms between the elbow and the shoulder The lifeless skin on the scalded parts is torn away and the grafts applied A thin silk is bouud around the parts bolding the grnfts in their places and servuig to prevtnt putrt faction Frequently the grafts fail to attach and have to lie replaced by fresh ones This explains why 800 of them have nlreadj' been used This Is a most extraordinary number and jet many more are expected to be used before entire recovery is looked for tsterday six men some of them even unacquainted ith tho sufferer came over from the refinery and had graft taken from their arms Hince the grafting wascommenced Hhaw has steadily improved and ill now undoubtedly recover fully Parnell Dillon and Morlcy London Aug 21 Nothing has been heard from the rank and tile of the Irish party regarding the recent charges and countercharges made by their leaders However tbe contest goes merrily ou Parnell has published a long double-barrelled reply to Dillon and Morlcy in which he reiterates and maintains bis former statements and declares that £2000 were paid out of the party fund for the forfeited Tipperary bail bonds He also says that if the bouse in Dublin Iwfore referred to did not belong to Dillon he so represented it and it was generally believed to be his It is probable that this second letter ill draw forth further de niiilB from Morlcy and Dillon but it is the general opinion that these bi kenngs ill only harm the party as a hole T1is xar'a Fyeeoii Aiiatria IjONDon Aug The

has visited Martinique is the most severe since the year 1817 The disaster is said to equal the famous cyclone which swept over tbe £slsnd of Antigua in 1871 Bo far as can be learned there have been nearly if not quite 80 deaths as a result of tbe visitation hut it will be some time before the full extent of tbe disaster is known At Fort De France alone there have been 12 lives lost and in both Fort De France and Bt Pierre to say nothing of the country distant there have been a large number of people injured At St Pierre five persons are known to havobeen killed but it is feared that this number does not represent the entire loss ol life in the capital (kunmnnioation with the different ports of the island was never an easy matter and it IB extremely difficult to get detailed news at present- As tbe reports from the various sections reach St Pierre it becomes evident that the extent of the devastations has not been much exaggerated Destruction of property and loss of life are reported from all parts of the coast The latest report received at 8t Pierre from Lamentin shows that the hurricane counts ten Victims in that place alone in addrtton tom fargenumher or Injured At Francois there have been 16 people killed and large numbers injured and at Hivierre Pilote there have been two or more deaths and aoon from all parts of the island comes tbe tale of woe and desolation La Trimte sends In the list of its dead at 10 and numbers of more or less severely injured The damages done to shipping and property may safely be classed as stupendous About two-fifths of the island were under cultivation and the mountain slopes were covered with forests All the cultivation and all the forests in the path of the hurricane appear to have been swept away The numerous sugar coffee cotton ana cocoa plantations which have tell the force of the tornado seem to have teen utterly destroyed Houses and barns store-houses and stables have been crushed out of existence end a considerable period must elapse before the island recovers from its terrible visitation Every hour adds to the list of horrors already long enough to startle any body The governor and privy council assisted by the colonial coudcII are doing everything possible to relieve distress and to abccrtain the full extent of the calamity OUR FLAG ON THE HIGH SEAS A Start iu the Resumption of Commerce

competition with European sailing vessels which for ears have had the monopoly of the lumber trade from southern ports to Europe Low freights and slow despatch in ourcoal ports have In some measure forced -the fore-and-afters to seek business in a new line A letter to a local ship firm gives a list of vessels already chartered to load lumber at Bt Island Ga for united kingdom torts at 90
