The elections have an extreme im- portan s the conscillers, besides being ocal magnates, have a voice in the elections for the FFrench senate. The voting is watched with keen anxiety, The royalists are eager to hail the brightest success of a grow- ing movement in favor of the monarchists. The republicaus, on the other hand, are equally eager to interpret even a trifling gain as a symptom of the stability of existing in- stitutions. The monarchist victories of last October have made the republicans caution They have taken a hint from the anti-Glac stonites.

French Aeronauts Make Successful Experiments With Torpedoes, LoxDoN, August L—[New York Herald Cable—Special o the Bee. |—M. I'Hoste, the famous French wronaut, has been all day the lion of the hour, more than Salisbury. He and M, Joseph Mangat, a young astronomer of Paris, have made from Cherbourg to Otten- ham, a suburb of Northern London near the Alexandria palace, the most successful baloon voyage ever made, and of a character often predicted but never before realized, The @ronaut had determined that he could con- struct a balloon which eould be directed near the point of intended arrival or be utilized to drop torpedoes. His balloon, In view of the latter idea, was named the “Tarpilleur.” It was fitted with gear of I'Hoste’s invention. Both voyegers wore the uniform of the French navy, blue, braided with gold, and the tri-color overhung the basket. TIE BTART MADE, Haying made the customary preparations for Inflation and baliasting, they left Cher- bourg, inthe midst of the shouts of a vast concourse, about sunset, Little apprehen- sion was felt there be @ of the confidence in I'Hoste, who is secretary of 1'Academic d’Acrostation Meteorologique de France, and who had once before erossed the channel in Dis balloon, Tue substance of his story was hus told by him on being inter viewed: ” THE AERONAUT'S STORY, 'I intended and hoped to arrive at Finsbury Square at the top of the street running north- ward from the bank of England, Idecended, however, about five wmiles north of it. My gear worked pretty well, in about a twelve hours' journey, coming northeastward in a pretty straight line course. My main object was, however, not so much at experiment to prove the power or accuraey in steering as to prove the possibility to maintsin an equal at- titute above the waves in crossing the chan- nel or any ocean, and particularly to test the possibility of keeping in direet view a vessel over which to drop torpedoes, HOW HIS RIG WORKED, My rig 1or preserving my attitude, which I tried to adjust at about forty eight metres or one hundred and fifty feet, was a platteur or sooker pipe, by which, or reaching the waves. »e could draw up water to be used for ballast, eounteracting the condersation a rarefaction of gas which so oftan obliges balloons to shoot upon. This vlatteur has the effect of making the balloon, as it were, captive, modi- fied by a small sail. Althouzh it worked ex- cellently until the Isle of Wizht was reached, when the baloon shot up. But as was used agan in the Solent, and at this point and near the Isle of Wight we successfully dropped tiny torpedoes over the swmall craft thereabouts, NOT SUCCESSFUL 1N STEERING. Please remember that land ballast, once over, is gone, but water bailast is within con- trol. Lcanuot claiin suecess n steering for curvents favorable to the point of destina- tion, 1sailed over St. Paul’s dome, wanting 10 drop in the actillery ground, not far off, but was eompelled to continue a few wiles gan, rather neryous wportbward, This water ballast was first sug- | gested by the celebrated ower. The bal- loon came down quietly about half past 6 o'clock in the morning, at a point in the marshes about a few hundred yards distant from Tottenham Station, on the Great East- ern railway. A rash was made toward it, some bathiers not walting to dress them- selves DROPPED IS A DITCIf, As they were running up the bank of the a the car dropped into what is known nd if it had remained there the aeronauts would have found them- selves ina place far from comfortable. The ballast wa s thrown out and the balloon rose, but not many feet. The gas was let out and the balloon again came down. Caught by a gust of wind, however, it was carried towara * the mver and the sand bags were emptied once more, The balloon arose and nearly came in contact with the telegraph wires on the poles by the side of the river, and weich were eseaped by arapid disel The next attempt to descend was per! y suceessful, the car alighting on a piece of marsh free from any obstruetion. QUITE A COINCIDENCE, In the immediate vicinity lived Mr. Cors- well, a member of the balloon soclety, who made the aeronauts his guests, with a better bre t ballast than water or sand. The aftornoon Paris papers, this instant received, make much of thi: ceess, and take warlike views of it. The Gaulois he voyage which has been so hap- complished is certain to make a great nowse in the tific world. M. I’Lloste had with him miuniature torpedoes whis he dropped successtully on the forts and arsen- als over which the balloon passed in ap- proaching the shore. Oune can easily di -} what impression will ba produced in En: land by this novei experience. Its succe: and the natuve of the results possible have something about them calculated to be dis- quieting.

They know, to be sure, thatan army cannot be transported to England in bal- loous, but the fact that their island is no longer inaccessible constitutes for the Eng- lish a vertible danger. It is demonstrated thattheir posts are no longer secure from at- tack. If the torpepoes of M. I'Hoste and Mangot had not been harmless ones the ef- fect they would have produced is incaleula- ble. From the day when their ports can be destro; from above, how will these island- ers protect fheir co and repel invasion? ‘This very serious question will hardly fail to to be discussed in Enzland where they are so itive concerning the defense of the coust.” SALE OF JERSEYS, Mr. Blythe's Herd Auctioneered Off at Low Prices. LoNDON, Ang. L—[New York Hergld Cable—Sp 1 to the B —One of the greates of Jersey cattle ever announced In Great Britain, as regards breeding, took place at Mr.James Blythe’s new farm, Blythe- wood, about thirty-two miles from London. They were exposed for sale without resery excepting five choice animals, two bulls and three cows, the winners at most of the lead- ing English shows, at the prohibitory price of 250 guineas each. Mr. Blythe is one of the partners in a large firm of wine merchants. He started farming six years ago under the guidance of the principal of his firm, who founded not only the Dairy society of tireat Britain, but the Shire Stud Book soeiety. For along time it had been well understood that the London supply of milk came from the cows described as mongrels, crosses be- tween the Short Horn and Hereford breeds predominating. As far back as 1821 an at- tempt was made to introduce Jerseys, which then included in the title of Alder- neys and Guernseys, but down to the last twenty years the little milk maker of the orchard’s island had not sncceeded in establishing herself among the metropolitan dairymen. A large number of these to-day journeyed to Blythewood through the pleas- ant valley of the river. It was considered that THE PRICES WERE LOW. About 1 o’clock the Duke of Marlborough drove on the ground, accompauied by his steward. Very soon afterwards he was fol- lowed by Lady Brooke, formerly the hel ynard, accompanied by her husvand, who is heir to the earldom of Warwick. She drove four bright bays before an old time drag into the reserved paddock, It ishard to say whethér the action of her animals’or her skill in handling the ribbons was the most admred. Lord March, who is a great agri- culturist at his Welch and Ivish seats, joined the company. This included nearly all the breeders of dairy stock in England. Lord Brooke presided at luncheon in a large barn, where over four hundred persons were pres- cnt. The toasts customary to all large Eng- lish sales wero proposed. ‘Phe absence of any United States breeders was alluded to, and the fact that the bought directly from the Ist- and of Jersey instead of from the best main- land stocks brought from Jersey Into Great Britain was commented on, OPENING THE SALE. The rale was started with a plain looking cow;, but said to be one of the best bred in the bard. Only very ordinary prices were reaiized for some time, The reserve prices seemed to check the sale. Auctioneer Thorn- ton, the Tattersall of farm yard animals, found his sand glass, which measure: auctioneer’s discretion In England, before there was any bid for the reservations. But when some tender-eyed thoroughbreds, not reserved, were brought into the ring, a brisk competition at small rising bids set in, the Duke of Marlborough, the Earl of Abingdon and Lord Brooke, seemingly urged by his wife, who from time to time expressed her admira- tion for the many beautiful and docile ani- mals, bidding, But in no ease did thé prices rise to what is called high, and the sand glass was repeatedly held up to allow bidders to make up their minds, The total for fifty- three Jersey animals realized $8,640, being an average only of $163 each, The anctioneer expressed himself satistied, but Mr. Blythe, the owner, who doubtless was the best judge, seemed disappointed, because for many choicer animals exposed he had received larger private offers. AMONG THE CHIEF BUYERS was the Duke of Marlborough, who is found- ing a Jersey herd at Blenheim, while he is auctioning his pictures; also Mr, C. W, Tin- dall, well-known in America Short Horn breeder. The average prices were not much above those for dairy cattle and far under the prices réalized at several great Jersey sales a few years back. All the animals had senti- mental names, which the auctioneer rolled on his tongue: “lHow much for ‘Rosy,’ or *Sweeter Secret,” or ‘Derby Dalsy,’ or ‘Olivia,’ or ‘Bell Awerican? * The farmers doubtless recognize the nawes of some af the sives, such as “Longueville Beauw,” “Jersey King,” “Wolseley's Glory,” A BIG MILK YIELD. 1 was informed that one little animal in the herd had, between February 1 last and the first of the present month, yielded 501 gallons that wade 282 pounds of butter. The prices serve to indicate great agricultural depres- OMAHA, MONDAY MORNING, AUGUST sion, because Mr. Blythe's herd s admitted to be as highly bred to Jersey cattle as any vn the channel island or on mainland, STARTED FOR AMERICA. Ireiand’s Lincrosse Team Leaves for the Unired States. QUEENSTOWN, August L.—| New York Her- ald Cable al to the Bex he lacrosse team chosen to represent Ireland in the matches with the United States and Canada left here to-day on the Exuria. ‘The members of the team are in the best of health. Your correspondent interviewed Macdonald, who sald: “Most of us have already played in America. Our first match takes place on August 10 on Staten Island. We left Belfast on Friday night. when a large gathering was present to witness our departure, and showers of rockets were fired as our steamer left the quay. We have permission from Captain Cook to traln during the voyage on the promenade deck in tho early hours of the morning, when the passengers are below. These extreme mensures for training would not be resorted to, but as our first match takes place immediately after arrival, we don’t wish to be caught napping.

A band of music yesterday marched to meet a party of protestant Sunday sehool children, who wete returning from an excursion. The crowd that accompanied the band groamed at a number of cathe oli who wete assembled on Carrick Hill. The latter replied with stones aud the others retaliated, Wild rumors spread throughout the city and a large mob of Orangemen gathered. The police tried o disperse the crowd but their efforts were use- lessand the Orangenien continued to increase. The mob attacked and wrecked a large tavern owned by a Catholic named Mc&Kenna. The police frequently charged the mob but were repulsed with stones, The rioters then wrecked a number of Louses believed to be in- habited by Catholics. They uprooted the pavement and fired volleys of stones at the police. The latter were finally ordered to fire buckshot and the command was promptly obeyed, A boy named Knox, who was going ou an eriand was shot dead. Many persons were wounded, some of them seriously. The riot had reached such pro- portions t it was deemed necessary to call out the militia. The rioters 3 by the appearance of the soldiers, and . dispersed to their homes. The fighting was renewed to-day, and the police were again compelled to fire on the mob. Many of the rioters were wqunded. Subsequently the mob wrecked several buildings and the military wes in u Many policemen were ly cut by missiles thrown at them by the rioters. Forty-six _arrests have been inade.

Loxnox, August 1.—An exchange of views among the Parnellites has led toa decision to give the government time to prepare an Irish bill, but the Parnellites will demand a_meas- ure for the suspension of evictions. Owing to the fall in prices numerous tenants in Ire- land are in arrears and are unable to pay their rents. If the introduction of the Irish bill be postponed until spring the landlords will, in_all likelihood, resort to_ wholesale evictions unless restrained from doing so. M.

Idon’t know him and only heard of him once, and that was when he once went out of his way to speak against me at a banguet in New York. When he answered to the toastof “‘democracy,” it was all adaressed against me as register of the treasury.

Just then Matthews himself passed by, but the ex-senator and the rejected recorder did not speak. It is generally thought that Mr. Bruce hada great deal to do with the rejec- tion.

Curiously enough the highest average prices for the year to this thne have been reached almoston the anniver- sary of the maxium last July. There las been none of thatactive speculation buoyant, upward movement in everything, and the wild rush to buy that delighted the hearts of brokers a year ago, and kept the telegraph wires hot. But the market has been firm every day. with a single exception, when London raised the profits to a degreo sufii- cient to cheek the advance and depress the market a little without upsetting it in the least, There was nothing but crop news to set it back, and now that these are taken wiih proper seasoning they are digested with- outany injury to the stock brokers’ system.
