ARREST or AN ALLEGED sWlNnlsa.

Detective Tieman yesterday arrested man named
Adolph or Wolf Meyer, alias Miller, who arrived in
this city on Sunday from Germany with his daugh.

country to Frankfort banker named Jaegar, and to
the Darmstadt Bank, OF Hesse Darmstadt, was in
formed few days ago that the man had left in the
steamship City Of Cork for this port, and requesting
Mr.. Kapp to exert himself as to effect his arrest

lars, or quilders. In what manner the swim.
die had been been perpetrated was not stated
in the telegram but it is expected that letters VIII
be forthcoming by steamer in few days which will
fully detail the facts which led the Darmstadt Bank
TO order the arrest OF Meyer.
on Sunday afternoon, when the steamer City OF
Cork arrived at this port, the passengers were all
put ashore Immediately the vessel cast anchor 1t
was intended that the steamer should be got ready
for her return trip in a few days. Meyer, with his
daughter, at once repaired to the Exchange HOTEL
in Chambers street, where they were duly registered
and rooms prepared for than, Meyer stating
1t Is alleged, that he intended on Monday
to go to. st. Louis. Detective Tieman on
hearing OF Meyers whereabouts, at once repaired
to the hotel where he was found quietly
enjoying well flied meerschaum. On being told
that he would much crafty the police authorities in
Mulberry street did ne accompany the detectives to
the marble mansion, he begged leave 10 inform Mr..
Tieman that he was not the man that was wanted;
that his name was not Meyer but Miller and that he
felt very much nsuted at the thought that any
body should consider him q dishonest nun. But Mr..
Meyer did go to headquarters where he is now, I'm
durance not very vile, awaiting the arrival Of the
steamer which IL to bring the necessary papers to
convict him of the alleged swndle lie win also be
brought this morning before Commissioner Osborne.
The baggage OF Meyer was searched at the hotel
and among other papers trade license was found

public in the society Of nations. BY that proceeding,
II was alleged the Powers had dissolved their
treaties with Mexico which 1t would be for them 10

The works OF the Isthmus OF Suez canal are fast
approaching completion. From January 4 to Feb
ruary one hundred and thrty-seven merchant sh:os
passed from Port Said TO Suez on Februa,y a at
Port Said there were four three maste1 vessels and
three smaller ships employed in landing cargoes OF
coal. The English government already profit by
the enterprise as men and war material are sent TO
Abyssinia with much greater rapidty and ease v

that there is nothing doing at Alexandria or cairo
whereas traffic is brisk at Port Said.

of the progress of the War on the La Plata says:-

or commercial interests connected with the subject,
lew LII thiS country would know or care whether
there werf war or peace on the Plate. With all our
improvements in the means Of locomotion and in
the transmission Of intelligence, those coun-
tries seem rather to recede from than to
drew near to us. The time is gone by since the
wars and revolutions the secessions and annexa-
tions of those parts of the New World were matters
OF concern to u.s. since the rise and fall OF such men
as Franca and Rosas, Urquiza and Oribe Flores and
Lopez affected US as much as the fortunes Of Kos
suth and Garibaldi did in later times. The close Of
the war and the liberation OF the English subjects
detained in Paraguay should be made the object of
negotiation.
