The International Law Conference which has been meeting at Bremen wound up its proceedings on Sa-. turday, at the invitation of the North German Lloyd, with an excursion by special train to Bremerhaven and an inspection of the liner Kronprinzessin Cecilie, followed by a dinner in the ship’s salon. Herr Plate, the President of the supervisory Board, bade the guests welcome and thanked them for the friend ly feelings to Bremen which they had evinced during the Conference. V Dr. Franck, of Antwerp, the General Secretary of the Comite maritime international, in responding, said the North German Lloyd had done much to establish good relations between the peoples. He then spoke in feeling terms of the late Director General Wiegand who, he said had been a most sympathetic supporter of 1he idea of international maritime law; and con cluded by calling for cheers for Bremen and the North German Lloyd. Mr. Suketado Ito having expressed his gratitude for the friendly reception that had been accorded to him in Bremen ais the representative of the Far East, Mr. Tomalin, Secretary of the London Chamber of Commerce, said he interpreted the feelings of the merchants of Great Britain who were all ani mated with friendly sentiments towards Germany. If a few English newspapers affirmed the contrary they should not be credited. England’s feelings for Ger many were cordial, and no one thought of petty jealousies. Director Heineken, immediately following Mr. To malin, said the North German Lloyd could not ac cept the thanks that had been, offered them: on the contrary they, as shipowners, owed their thanks to the International Maritime Law Conference for de voting their abilities and knowledge to questions of great importance the settlement of which was a mat ter oi supreme interest to shipowners, in order that they might know where they were and not be dif- ferently treated in different countries. The words of the last speaker had, hd. said, been heard by the Germans present with great satisfaction. He was himself convinced that the fact was as well known in England as in Germany that the two peoples were mutually dependent. Peaceful competition could never be in jurious; it brought nations nearer to one an other. Referring to the efforts that were being made everywhere to conclude international treaties, Herr Heineken expressed his conviction that international treaties on maritime law would also have the effect of bringing the parties to them together, and his wish that further progress might be made in the path they had entered upon. The Director conclud ed by proposing tee final toast, “The nations here represented,” which was duly honoured. THE HUDSON-FULTON CELEBRATIONS. New York and the banks of the Hudson are decked in festive garb. A powerful squadron of war ships is lying at anchor in thp river, consisting of 54 American,, 5 British, 4 German, 3 French, 3 Austro-Hungarian, 2 Italian, one Argentine, one Dutch, one Mexican, and one Cuban vessel. The wea ther on Saturday was magnificent when torpedo-boats towed the “Halve Maen,” the ship wheron Hudson explored the Hudson river 300 yea,rs ago, and the “Clermont,” Fulton’s steam-boat which made its first trip 100 years ago, from the lower .harbour past the fleet.. Each vessel saluted these models as they passed. They were then presented to the City. The “Halve Maen,” which was presented by Hol land, collided with the “Clermont,” causing slight dimage to both vessels. A naval parade followed in which besides the warships 100 merchantmen took part. Over two mil lion people were present on the occasion. In the evening all the craft of the river, and New York City itself were illuminated, the picture thus presented being a magnificent and brilliant one. DEATH OF THE DANISH PRIMATE.

While Dr. Cook is being feasted and dined in Nev\ York and generally made much of, Commander Peary remains in seclusion. The fight between the two camps, however, continues, and the world at large is -still at. a loss to decide which of the two is labouring under a delusion, whether both of them or neither has been at the Pole. It is natural that scientists should refrain from expressing an authoritative opinion as to the merit of either explorer, until their reports have been officially presented and examined: but now and then the newspapers—who are to be blamed for a good deal of the untimely criticisms—report utterances of men whose opinions are worth considering. Among these we mention particularly Professor Penck, ot Berlin, one of the well-known American exchange Professors, who in a paper read before the Con ference of German Naturalists and Doctors now sit ting at Salzburg, on the discovery of the North-Po!e, slated that he could not side with either Pearv or Cook, as a scientific proof of the discovery of the North Pole could only be given by ascertaining the depths of the sea at the North Pole, and by the correctness of this measurement being certified bv subsequent visitors to the Pole. In a like manner the geo-physical observations would have to be in vestigated, and verified by other explorers before they could be accepted as proof positive. The learn ed Professor pooh-poohs the testimony of Esquimaux, and very rightly in our opinion. He said their state ments could .no more be accepted as proof, than could the testimony of the attendants in the labora tory of scientific explorers be used as conclusive evidence of a scientific discovery. Not so disparaging to their achievements and the observations supposed to be taken by Dr. Cook and Commander Peary, can be Sir Robert Ball, the fam ous Astronomer at Cambridge, who has offered to examine Dr. Cook’s notes, saying that he did not believe in the possibility of forging drawings of scientific observations. He claims that after a month’s investigation he could positively say whether Dr. Cook h&d reached the Pole or not. It is very much to be desired, and no doubt will come about that such a scientific examination will soon be made ; in the meantime, however, the pub lic will continue to be pelted with slanderous stories from both camps—although, on second thought, it would be more correct for us to say from the Pearv camp, because so far the sympathies of the public are with Dr. Cook: sympathies based not on po sitive knowledge, based not even on the dignified demeanour of the explorer, but rather on the agres- siveness of the Peary messages, which we still hop? do not emanate from Commander Peary himself, but rather from his so-called friends. The latest from that quarter, and perhaps the most atrocious slander of all, is that Commander Pearv declares he has 30 charges which* he intends to bring against Dr. Cook. Peary says any one of them will convince competent judges of the shal lowness of his rival’s claim to have reached the Pole. Commander Peary has left Sydney, and is now en route for Portland, Maine. So there will soon be light thrown on this ii|brk subject, and the pub lic will hail the scientific verdict with a sigh of relief, whoever may be the victor. MAGNETIC STORM. A magnetic storm was experienced in London last Saturday, just after noon, and soon afterwards the full defection of the galvanometers rendered tele graph lines absolutely useless, either for simplex or duplex working. At 12.5 the Post Office sent the following message to all the cable offices in London: “No lines workable.” The direct result of such a visitation is to produce a magnetic current from the earth, and it is sug gested by a cable expert that this is due to the Aurora Borealis. All long distance lines are un workable, but short distance lines have not been so greatly affected. The force of the storm was such that it was im possible to work any lines without interruption for several hours. The underground lines were more affected than the aerial wires, particularly lines run ning from east to west, while the lines running north escaped with comparatively little interruption. All cable work to the Continent, South Africa, and America had to be held up. Interviewed by a Central News representative Mr. White, the Deputy Acting Controller of the Tele graph Department at the G.P.O., said that all their wires were seriously affected by the magnetic storm. Particularly affected were the principal towns in the United Kingdom with which the G.P.O. was in direct communication. The Continental wires were also affected. The delay ranged, he added, from an hour and a hall to, two hpurs. Asked if the effect of the storm was conspicuously acute in any one district, Mr. White said it was being particularly felt in the principal towns of Ireland and Scotland, and the chief places of industry in England. The effect on the wires vva-s that false currents were given. In fact, sometimes they got a permanent current on the wire, and during That time the opera tor was unable to work at alL The magnetic storm in no way affected the trunk telephone service. The phenomenal magnetic storm is stated to be unprecedented in its force in the telegraph service of the country. A Reuter telegram from New York states that the telegraph and cable service was badly crippled there because of disturbances in the electrical cur rents of the earth and air. The disturbances were ascribed to the aurora borealis. The aurora borealis was plainly visible in Stock holm and St. Petersburg on Saturday. Likewise in Wcnden, Livadia, where chiefly violet rays were observed. We also received information by cable frou Montevideo to the effect that all over Uruguay ; telluric current, running North to South, was ob served which caused disturbances in the telegraphic services. The effects of the magnetic storm were also notice able in Strassburg, Berlin, and other cities. THE NEW YORK MAYORALTY. Tammany is exulting over the now admitted dis sensions in the camp of its enemies, says a New York oorrespondet of The Globe. The movement for se lecting an independent candidate for Mayor and a full Reform ticket at the coming municipal elec trons, upon which all sections of anti-Tammany could unite, has collapsed. On Wednesday it look ed as though the reform alliance was secure, and there was every prospect of Judge Charles S. Whit man being selected for the mayoral nomination by the fusionist leaders assembled in conference. Personal rivalries upset everything at the last mo ment, however, and the Republicans proceeded to select Mr. Otto Bannard for the coveted honour. The local leaders of the party also agreed upon a full Republican ticket, and to all appearance the split cannot be closed up. It is not surprising that Charles F. Murphy and the other Tammanv chiefs are today described as “perfectly satisfied with the position.” The enemy have played into their hands more completely than they had ventured to hope. If they can now persuade Judge Gaynor to accept their nomination, they stand to win hands dawn.
