demonstrations of disapproval. The

CINCINNATI.
Disturbance by Two Negroes OH n
Passenger Train.

CINCINNATI, November lS.-This az
ternoon two coiored men, somewhat in
toxicated, got on the down passenger
train Of the indianapolis, Cincinnati
and Lafayette railroad at Greensburg,
Indiana. When the conductor, John c..
Smith, came around demanding tickets,
one OF the men, Captain Scott, of this
city, manifested q disposition to play
with the conductor and TO delay mat
ters by handing him piece Of paper.
The patience OF the conductor gave out
and he stopped the train and put both
men off by force, though it appears that
the second party had not participated in
the delay, and, after the bell had rang,
agreed, according to the statement of a
passenger, to pay his fare. This 80
enraged the second man, who was a
barber from Gremsburg, that he drew
a revolver and discharged it twice at
the conductor, one ball taking effect in
the hip. Finally they were induced to
come on the train, and, manifesting a
disposition for a further fight, the
brakeman undertook 10 knock the bar
Der down. This failed, and the latter
discharged a pistol, this time at the
brakeman, though without effect. The
two were finally arrested and sent back
to Grcensburg. The conductor is seri-
ouslv. though not dangerously, wounded

LONDON, November 1S.-Advices

the Alabama legislature is owing to the
boiling Republican ticket run in Mo
bile, Baldwin and Madison counties, In
Mobile county five boilers ran indepen-
dent of the regular nominee, receiving
some 200 votes. just sufficient to defeat
the regular candidates who had about
fnnr thousand votes. The Republicans
would have had majority on JOINT pal
lot, sufficient to have elected a Senator

How GranvilIe's Circular Is Regard
ed by Political Leaders-The Tn
derstanding between Bismarck
and GOrtschakOH.

LONDON, November l7.-Granvilles
circular is approved in very opposite
quarters. lts firmness OF tone has
occasioned astonishment, especially
among the Tories, whose organ this
morning is silent Leading Liberals
are scarcely less surprised. Yesterday
they expected an acquiescent policy,
and were prepared to defend it, To-day
there is no such indication. Granville
has gone beyond the point where
public opinion will support him. Some
of the diplomats say openly that they
can see no way out of it but war; but
it is equally difficult to see how this
Cabinet can go to war, or take steps
leading directly to war, without being
first reconstructed nor is 1t yet the
opinion of the Foreign Office that Rus.
sia means to bring, or that England will
be bound to accept the conflict. They
say the situation is undoubtedly grave
but before an opinion can be formed the
answer of Gortschakoff must be known
which cannot be for several days Prob
ably it will not be for fortnight.
Granville's dispatch was delivered by
Queens messenger to :: Andrew
Buchanan, at St Petersburg on Tues
day, and by him to Gort-chakotf on
Wednesday. 1t is not expected he will
reply instantly, nor isit believed he an
t;cipates an answer like that he has re-
ceiyed. Itis also affirmed that, although
an understanding is believed to exist be
tween Gortschakoff and Bismarck, the
former did not consult Bismarck s
wishes as to the time Of promulgating
this declaration, and that Bismarck de-
sired it to be postponed, bu, Gortscha-
koff thought himself in a position to
force the Chancellors hand.
The second element necessary IN es-
timating a probability OF war, is
knowledge Of Prussia's exact position,
which NAV not be obtained immedi-
ately, Bismarck was advised Of Odo
Russelrs mission, and it has since been
announced that he would be obliged TO
leave headquarters for short absence
on account of his health, and to meet
the Countess. Both at st. Petersburg
and Versailles, therefore, it is probable
delays may occur. Anxiety is express
ed to know whether the American Gov
ernment was privy to this step, OF
which its delegations at London and
St. Petersburg are reported to have been
utterly unaware.
LONDON, November iS.-The feeling
to-day in financial circles is somewat
quieter. The Times remarks that Rus
sia has placed herself in the position oil

ment for the Turkish Army.
General Sherman continued: 1--WE
have sold over three hundred thousand
muskets to Turkey-good barrels, good
stocks, good bayonets They have all
been changed into breech-loaders, and
made almost perfect guns. The Turks
have done with them exactly what we
have done with the old rammer guns
made perfect breech-loaders out OF them.
All the arms we have to sell are taken
as soon as Offered. Seventy-five field
batteries have been asked for by
American merchants. They will be
sold by the Secretary of War to
American merchants, who can dis
pose of them to any one they please.
The field howitzers that we have
to sell are among the best in the world.
They are capable Of four discharges
minute. A shell containing fifty shot
has barely reached its destination be-
fore three cheers are following in In
stant succession. The idea Of disposing
of 80 many arms is to have uniform
lty of small arms and cannon OF small
caljber in unison, so that the army and
navy can at all times supply each other
with ammunition; also, to have a liked
cartridge for our small arms. 1t will
be great saving, and add much to the
effectiveness of both our army and
navy"
General Sherman was of the opinion
that all private arms manufactures OF
our country would have their hands
full for some time, and ought to realize
great profits out OF the contracts said to
have been given them for the manufac.
ture of arms. He said that General
Sheridan was now en- route to London,
and his purpose was to return home IN
January; but if general European
war should commence, he was not to
return for six months. He has an IN
definite leave of absence.
