London, May 12—In view of the resolution introduced by the Dr. Horton, in the Assembly of the Congregation Union yester day, denouncing the execution of negroes in the United States by lynch law as a reproach to humanity, a representative of the United Press had an inter view today with Wells, the voung colored woman from Memphis, who is here on a mis sion to arouse British public opinion against the prevalent custom in the Southern States of summarily punishing hein ous crimes of negroes by hang ing, burning, etc. Miss Wells declared that the negro was the very Christian, meek in spirit and suffering cruelties with which the worst tortures of the inquisition cannot be compared.

It can do South Carolina I South Carolina will be no good, but a vast deal of in- the same advantages jury, and the true man, wheth er a Tillmanite or Straight- out, will disapprove of the ev. ident purpose of the “reform ers” of Cypress to keep up fratricidal strife. Those who persist in such a course when the prosperity of the whole peo ple depends upon peace, will deserve the disapprobation, which they will surely receive, of their feilow citizens. W bile these extraordinary res olutions are represented as coming from the “reformers” of Cypress, we believe that there are good citizens in that township of the “reform" faith who do not endorse the senti ments expressed; that there are many men in that section who, like a large number in other parts of the county and State, are beginning to feel that the only salvation for South Caro lina and her people lies in the allaying of strife and discord. As to the truth, or rather the absence of truth, in the resolu tions, it is not necessary for us to dwell at length. Every de tail of the trouble in Darlington has been thoroughly ventilated and the whole world to-day knows that not a single lawless act of any consequence was committed here by the citizens of the community during that terrible time that truly tried men’s souls. Darlington has gained a reputation throughout the universe for forbearance and love of law and order that any town would be justly proud to claim. Her people have proved that they are law abiding, the resolutions of the “Cypress re- J formers” to the contrary not- - withstanding. All the evidence shows that the “insurrection,” , a* Governor Tillman and the State has too long delayed the duty she owes to her daughters in the matter of higher educa tion and we welcome the dawn of the era when the women of given as the men.

A correspondent of the West Minister Gazette, who has just returned to London from a four years’ sojourn in the Southern States, tells an entirely different story. In a letter to the Ga zette, the writer says that the attempt to agitate Great Britan over the down-trodden black man in America is ridiculous. The negroes in the United States, North and South, he says, are better paid and better treated than the laborers in England, and when willing to work, they have no reason to complain.

The copper case containing the sealed fUm tube was sent down to a depth of >,000 fathoms aud drawn up again. It was then found that the copper wall of the case was bulged and bent inward opposite the place where the glass tube lay, just as if it had been crumpled in ward by being violently squeezed. The glam tube itself, within its flannel wrapper, was found when withdrawn reduced to a fine powder, like snow al- What had happened was that the seal- ad glam tube, sinking to gradually in creasing depths, had held out long against the pressure, but this at last had become too great for the glass to sustain, and the tube had suddenly given way. So violent had been the collapse that the water had not had time to rush in at the perforations, bat instead had crushed in the copper wall and brought equilibrium in that manner, and this process is exactly the reverse of an ex plosion and is termed by Sir Wyville Thompson an "imp’osioo."—Philadel phia Press.
