New Yore, March 17.—The North German Lloyd steamer Bree, with Secretary Foster on board, arrived off Fire Island at 11 o'clock last night, reaching quarantine at 1:20. At 7 a.m. the Secretary was transferred to the Laura M. Starin, which immediately left quarantine for the city. ‘The Secretary had a rather rough voyage. On the 12th the sea was very rough. Mr. Fos ter was seated in a steamer chair on the upper deck when the steamer lurched heavily, throw- ing the Secretary to the deck, hie head striking the port rail and blackening hia right eye. His health has been much improved by the trip. In an interview today the Secretary said in regurd tq the terms ‘‘clam-mouthed” and “flannel-thouthed” Irishmen, elleged to have been used by him in an interview abroad. “I certainly made use of no such terms as are imputed to me, or any word derogatory to the Irish race, Neither did I have an interview with anyone for publication. The story, I imagine, grew out of a conversation I had in my room with a number of friends end callers, The subject of immigration, which is one of great interest to an Englishman just now, was being discussed. In speaking of the character of the immigration coming to our shores, Tincidentally touched upon the case with ‘which the Irish assimilated with us and became thoroughly Americanized. Even among the commonest classes of Irish immigrants was this noticeable. ‘The same, I remarked,could be said of the German immi- grants, who soon became imbued with Ameri- ean ideas. This was in contrast to the people from the south of Europe, who wero slower in assimilation and who maintained the charac- teristic state of their nation for a longer pe- riod.” Speaking of his trip to Londoa, Secretary Foster said: “It will be understood that J did not go abroad in my official capacity, but for the benefit of my health. pi a) REFUSED TO RAISE IT. ‘The New York Assembly Keeps the World’s Fair Appropriation at 300,000.

The impression among a great many is that a coglition between the demo- crate and "8 in those state where the Farmers’ Alliance movement is strong might have avery important influence upon the presidential election. Speaking with a Stan reporter this afternoon Representative Jerry Simpson said that be did not know whether or not the statements in the dispatch were true, but ifthey were the coalition would not be confined to Kansas alone, but would extend to Nebraska, thotwo Dakotes, Minnesota and possi- bly Iowa. There is some doubt about Iowa, it is thought, chiefly because the democrats fought so strongly there that they might not want to enter intos combination. Mr. Simpson anid that he thought the people's purty and the democrats _toget could "carry Kansas by 60,000 and they could also earry Ne- braska, tho two Dakotasand Minnesota.

Only one thing is certain, and that is that the long-expected reply from Lord Salisbury to the President's most recent letter has not yet been received. The British minister called at the State De- partment twice yesterday, and on the second Visit, late in the afternoon, he saw Acting Sec- rotary Wharton.
