Ctf fa Sttjj Jlstotm ASTORIA, OREGON: WEDNESDAY- .AUGUST 13, 18SJ FRANCE AND ENGLAND IN THE PACIFIC. Thebe is likely to bo an interna tional question between England and France, arising out of tbe colonial policy of the latter country. Prance has resolved to get rid of the trouble and expense of keeping its hardened criminals under restraint, and has hit upon the simple expedient of transporting them across the seas. Cayenne, in South America, and New Caledonia, in the western Pacific, are to be the two principal points for French penal transportation under the Becidiveste bill, which recently passed the French Parliament, de spite the protest of the British gov ernment and the threatened resistance of the Australian colonies, backed by New Zealand. France, however, con templates a wholesale transportation scheme, and threatens to seize upon such islands in the west Pacific ocean as may not bo claimed by any civil ized power upon which to found pe nal colonies. It is needless to say that tho great Anglo-Saxon commonwealths in the southseas will not submit to this. They were strong enough to compel the British government to close its penal establishments in Australia, and they are not going to submit to be over run by Fienoh criminals from New Caledonia, the New Hebrides and neighboring islands. Indeed it has been proposed by the governments of Queensland and Tasmania that all intercourse between the French set tlements and the Australian colonies should be forbidden, as a practical answer to M. Jules Ferry's reply to Earl Granville, that it was no for eigner's business what Franco did in New Caledonia or her other colonies. The moderation of New South Wales for the time being prevented tho adoption of this measure, out of con sideration for the home government, which has treaty engagements with France. But it is simply a question of time when all Frenchmen visiting the Australian colonies will be com pelled to produce passports before landing. This is apparent from tho tone of colonial opinion by latest advices, as well as from the expres sions in English newspapers, which strongly back up the colonies in their hostile attitude to French criminal aggression. The United States is interested in this question. Should tho fertile islands of the Pacific pass into Brit ish hands thoy will buy largely of American manufacturers and prod ucts, just as .Fiji, a British colony of about teny ears' standing, is now do ing. Should they become French penal colonies they will buy nothing from us, aud the last state of the ab original native will bo worse than the first The Bourbon legislature of Vir ginia was so busy at its last session passing laws depriving the Keadjust- ers of all rights and powers that it neglected a very important matter. Under the latest congressional appor tionment Virginia is entitled to twelve presidential electors instead of eleven as before. But it was nec essary to enact a state law to carry the change into effect. The Bour bons failed to do so, aud under ex isting statutes Virginia can elect but eleven presidential electors. The consequences of their neglect have just dawned upon the minds of the legislators, and they have had the governor call a special session of the legislature for the purpose of making an apportionment and enacting a new electoral law. The act of congress, "to relieve cer tain soldiers of the charge of deser tion," which was signed by the presi dent on the 15th of July, will prove a veritable bonanza to deserters. Un der its provisions the secretary of war is empowered to remove charges of desertion now standing against more than 100,000 men, and the re moval of these charges will involve an expenditure which is variously estimated at from 811,000,000 to 850, 000,000. There are now seven regularly nominated presidential tickets in the field, and Gen. Benjamin F. Butler's name appears on two of them. They are the Bepublican, Democratic, Pro hibition, National Christian, Anti. Monopoly, and ;Greenback Labor. The names of the nominees for Pres ident in the order named are: James G. Blaine, Grover Cleveland, Jchn P. St John, Samuel C. Pomeroy, Jonathan Blanchard and Benjamin F. Butler. Gebman emigration, despite theob stacles thrown in its wav bv tho Tm perial Government, does not fall off materially, the record for the first five months of thj present year being 80,101, or only 709 less than in the corresponding period last year. There is naturally a diminution from the flush times of 1S31 and 1882. when the figures were 102,519 and 102,324, respectively. An Italian, Nicholas Nicolini, upon marrying in New York, a few days ago, adopted his wife's family name, Brown. Some time ago a Chinaman dropped his name, under like circum stances, and assumed that of Mur- pny, in deference to his bride's wishes. Ik view of the fact that the first section of the act "To remove cer tain burdens on the American merch ant marine and to encourage tho American foreign carrying trade," ap proved Juno 16, 1881, repeals in sub stance the aot approved April 17, 1874, entitled "An act to authorize the employment of certain aliens as engineers and pilots," the acting sec-( retary of the treasury has instructed supervising and local inspectors of steam vessels to refuse to issue orig inal or renew licenses to any officer of a steam vessel, except upon satis factory evidence that the persons ap plying for such licenses are citizens of the United States, either by birth or by naturalization. The Chinese Vice Consul at Victor ia, British Columbia, was stoned while walking in the streets of that city a short time since. It is proba ble that an apology will be demanded. The affair has caused considerable excitement in Chinatown-, a suburb of Victoria and it was feared tho insult might lead to a serious disturbance. The feeling against the Chinese is daily growing 'Stronger and should the Chinese Commission now taking evidence in British Columbia report in favor of continuing Chinese emi gration as is expected, the natives will probably take the matter into their own hands. In 1883 Great Britain had 550 war vessels, France 356, the United States 139 and Germany not quite 100. Great Britain had 4,9S0 naval officers, France 6,649, Jhe United States 2,033 and Germany 682. The British navy costs $51,800,000 a year, the French 41,000,000, the American 816,000,000 and the German 821,164,000. .,.. ... - ... - Eev. Geobge N. BaiiL, of Buffalo who made himself so prominent in connection with the Cleveland scan dal, has sued the Boston Herald for 825,000 damages for libel, on account of an article on his connection with the Cleveland scandal.
