Under the same administration, Mr.. EYERETr,
Secretary Of State addressed letter 10 our Min
lister at Berlin, under date of 18th of January,
1885, in reference to several cases which had been
presented By that Minister. "The question raised,'
Mr. EvERErT writes, ''Aas rsceirsd the portic,ar
attention Of tie President" The following extracts
sufficiently state the doctrine ..,
aft, then, a Prussian subisct, born and living
under this state Of law, chooses TO emigra.e to
foreign country without obtaining the certificate
which alone can discharge him from the obligation
Of military services, he takes that step at his
risk He ele,ts TO 60 abroad under the burden of
duty Whiohs he owes to his government. His
departure is Of the nature Of an escape from her
laws and it, at any subsequent period he is indis-
Greet enough to return to his native country, he
cannot complain if those laws are executed TO his
disadvantage. His case resembles tina. of q SOL
der or sailor enlisted by CONSUMPTION or other COM
pulsory process ia the army or navy. II he should
desert the service of his country and thereby rem
der himself smensble to military Law, no one would
expect that be could return to his native land aud
bid defiance TO its laws because in the mean time
he might have become nsturslizsd citizen Of
foreign State.
For these reasons, and without entering into the
discussion Of the question Of perpetual allegiance,
the President is Of opinion that II q subject Of
Prussia, lying under legal obligation in that coun-
try 20 perform certain amount Of military duty,
leaves his native land and without performing that
duty or obtaining "cer,Gcats Of emigration"
comes 10 the United States and is nsturahzed, and
for aay purpose whatever. goes bsck To

Francis Joseph, who, in the first instance,
snubbed Baron Hess for his cautious plan OF
campaign, which was to remain around fla-
cenza. and to accept the battle under the can
mons of the fortress, has now lost his conn.,
dence in the more daring plan of Gyulal, ana
will. in few days, set out with Baron hess 10
supersede Gyulai in the command. The con-
tinuous rain and the retrOgrade movements
have considerably damped the military ardor
of the Young Austrian officers, who thought
they might within few days, destroy the
Sandman forces, and occupy and plumber Iu-
rim.
As regards England, as was said lately by
very influential man, Lord Derby is at least,
for non-intervention Prince Albert for inter
yention in favor of Austria; and Lord Falm-
erston for intervention in favor OF France
The elections gave a good opportunity to the
boroughs and counties for expressing their
wishes for complete non-intervention and hon

OYERCRowDING OF CALIFORNIA STEAM
ERs.-There is a law of the United States
regulating the number of passengers which
shall be carried by ships upon the high seas.
The California steamer John L. Stephens, by
custom-house measurement, is entitled to car
ry thirteen hundred and sixteen passengers /:
yet this steamer, in late trip, carried into
San Francisco Sirteen hundred passengers One
thousand of these have signed statement, in
which 1t is said that, when three days out
from Panama, fresh water fell short, the pas
sengers were forced TO wash with salt water.
temporary berths were distributed about the
ship, to the annoyance of those who occupied
state-rooms which were thus INSTRUCTED, and
generally, the whole were made as uncomfort-
able in mind and body as could well be mag
ined. 1t appears that in the event of an acct
dent like that TO the Central America, hardly
the women and children on board could have
been saved in the boats and the remainder of
the living freight would have drowned. In adj
dition to this, one of the passengers makes aft
davit to this effect he was lying on a table in
the dining saloon = apparently asleep =
when he overheard two of the crew saw
that an understanding existed among the
hands to seize the boats in case of anv nc.
cident, to distribute themselves among the
same, and to abandon the passengers to their
fate. AT the time the vessel was in n heavy
dead sea, and the pumps were going at their
utmost speed. On the other hand, the Officers
OF the boat swear that she did not leak. nor
was she in danger. The Steamer Bulletin
suggests that criminal indictment should be
found in the United States Courts against the
owners.
