GERMANY AND THE PopE.-A letter to
the New York Tribune, from Berlin,
Sept. Is, says; Germany is swarmin Q
with confessional congresses, synods,
and other similar gatherings. Adhe-
rents of the Pope have held at Mayence
public congress of three days dura.
ton, which ended Saturday. In their
speeches they have almost proceeded to
a declaration of war against the treach-
erous governments which have left the
Pope in the lurch. They are erganiz.
ing what they call new crusade,' and
pulpits in Bavaria and in the Rhneand
are laundering forth invectives against
the German Ministers, and, sometimes,
even against the crowned heads. 1t is
no secret that Germany and Austria,
since the conference at Gastein, are en-
deavoring to persuade the Italian Gov
eminent into restoring at least the
Quirinal to the Pope, and the confsca-
ted converts to the congregation. Up
to the present time Italy, though COW
citing the alliance Of the two German
powers, has courteously declined to en-
gage in it, pleading political impossi
bility.'
The FAMINE IN PERsIA.-Mr. Savil
Dickinson writes from Teheran, on the
18th of September, giving an account OF
the state of affairs in the famine-strick
en- province of Scherassan. He says
that during the month of July 5000
persons persisted in the city of Meschid
and that 10000 inhabitants of the PROV
ince have been carried off into slavery
by the Afghans, who had taken advan
tage of The general disorganization tc
make incursions for plumber. The
bakers demanded such exorbltant PR
ces for bread that the authorities had
interviewed, and a number of extorton
ers been executed. Mr.. Dickinson says
that the country is disturbed by
frequent instructions. The pestience
still RACES and its horrors are increased
by destructive foundations. Yet, not.
withstanding the fearful situation of the
country and people, the Persian Gov
eminent has refused to avail itself of aid
| proffered by the Governments of Great
Britain and Russia.
THE POSTAL MONEY ORDER SYSTEM
between Great Britain and the United
States went into effect on Monday, and
six money orders were purchased al
Washington on that day, and there is a
prospect that the business will be quite
large. 1t is not generally understood
that remittances to any country in
Europe save, perhaps, France, can be
made under our present arrangements
with Switzerland. That country having
money order connections with all the
other European States, the orders would
necessarily go through Switzerland TO
other countries. Remittances In tho
United States can be in made the same
way.
