FORTRESS MONROE, June 23.-ColOnel James

at 10 o'clock to-day, for furnishing fresh beef
for the elk months ending Dec. 81, 1885, to the
troops and Government employees, drawers of
rations at Fortress Monroe, Camp Hamilton,
Norfolk, and Yorktown. The proposals ranged
from Sl06561ls for 100 pounds net.
The steamer William L. Kennedy, OF the
Boston line of steamers, touched here this
afternoon, and took on board thirty colored men
and women for Boston, where homes in various
families in that city have been procured. On
previous trip the Kennedy took similar number,
and under the arrangement of the Freedmens
Bureau, which has the undertaking in charge,
numerous other lnstalmeIts will be shipped
North as rapidly as employment can be procured
for them. The movement is looked upon with
intense interest by the farmers and residents of
the Peninsula, the whole OF which swarms with
freed people of all ages and sexes, confident that
it will tend to similar movements upon large
SCALE and be productive of the most important
results to the farming interests of this section
of the State. The officers of the Freedmen's
Bureau in this district are entering with renewed
zeal INTO the enterprise and the fact that sixty
thousand Government rations are monthly issued

The United States gunboats Wianepec Sdco

The following outline OF the history Of the
J. omis family is given. The father, George w.
I oomis, came to Oneida county in 1902, and
married Miss Rhoda Mallette, beautiful and
generally esteemed young woman. In 1910 he
was arrested for passing counterfeit money, ana
tried for it; but escaped by cOrrupting q
Jury man. He lett four sons-George Washing
ton. Grove Plumb and Denis. who have all
sustained the family reputation. They renamed
on the homestead, and formed the nucleus of
gang which has spread terror, alarm. and dis
trust, not only throHghout their immediate
neigbborhood, but in the State at large. So
great has been the terror inspired by the name
% the Loomises, that OF late years no one dared
complaln of them, and sudden destruction OF
property or swift calamity has Inevitably be-
fallen the unlucky wight who dared to hint his
suspicious.
"A book has been recently published bv Mr..

was himself Hindu that is, he worshippel the
same delCies as the Hlndus, and professel the
same religic n, there being at that time but one
common idolatry prevalent In that portion of

nlots of the '1liadn and the "Ramayana,n and
Compares the rape of Helen to that OF Sta, and

Austria ana Prussia rhe Austrian

From the London Times, June Is,
The diplomatic rupture between Prussia and
Austria is now complete. Yesterday, Count
Karolyi, the Austrian Minister at Berlin, asked
for his passports, and he will leave Berlin, with
all the legation, to-day Such a consummation
W as TO be expected, after the correspondence
which has passed between the two Gov
ernments during the last few days. The
despatch of Count Bismark went beyond
every such document we have ever read
in discourtesy, inyective, and provocatiOn;
and it has been replied to by Count Mensdorf in
a more guarded style. but in language which
shows offended pride and uDconquerable resolu-
ton The Austrian Minister tor Foreign Affairs
makes solemn protest against the proceedings
in Holstein, and the statements by which 1t has
been attempted to Justify them. He declines all
responsibility for the consequences, and declares
that Tor months Prussia has taken up position
which endangered the former settlement. In
conclusion, Count Mensdorf reserves to the
Imperial Government the right OF taking such
steps as may be found necessary, since nothing
remains for Austria but to defend her honor and
guard her rights from contempt.
Viewed bY the light shed on it by this despatch,
the recall of Count Karolyi is an event of grave
importance. 1t not only puts an end to negOta-
ton, but even TO communication. 1t would
seem to show that Austria will not wait to be
actually attacktd, but looks upon the breach Of

Prince Napoleon to Take the Field.

The Paris CORES pondent OF the London Herald
says, under date Cf June IL
'It is asserted that Prince Napoleon has, with
the Emperor's assent, placed his sword at his
tather-in.law's disposal. Victor Emanuel has
accepted the offer eagerly, and attached the
Prince to his own staff, where he is sure to see
Llenty of active service.
THE rumor OF the day is, that Italy has
relieved the German powers OF their embarrass-
ment. 1t is quite evident that both Prussia and
Austria are at loss how TO begin. Victor
Emanuel has, on DIT, solved the difficulty by
declaring war. It remains to be seen what steps
Italy will take to carry out her defiance. 1t is
thought probable in military quarters here
(~hcre, by the way, the Italians are not at all
popular), that Cialdni, who is the lighting
general of the Italian service, will cross The Pc
and march straight on Venice, the gunboats of
the Italian feet covering his right flank"
