Advices from Professor Hayden exploring
expedition IN the Yellow Stone Lake region
have jeen received up TO the oth OF August
last, and contain a satisfactory exhibit OF pro-
..ress. Alter establishing the depOc OF sup
plies already referred TO on the Yellow Stone
river, about one hundred and forty miles
below the lake, the party ascended tue river,
and reached the lake on the 10th OF July,
where they made u new camp. They then
b gan at once to survey the lake with the
most approved apparatus, by the aid OF \
boat taken along ior the purpose, and ex-
pected to be able to ascertain the exact con
tour as well as the principal depths. They
had already found seveta al places IN tt lake
where the depth reached three hundred feet,
esLecially along the line Of a certain channel
way, and they confidently expected to find
soundings Of at least five hundred feet.
They explored one of the islands in the
lake, which they called Stevenson s Island,
and found 1t to contain about fifteen hundred
acres, densely wooded, and with thick and
almost impenetrable underbrush, consisting
Iarqely OF goosebcrry and currant bushes,
loaded down with ripe fruit. On the
threshold only of the wonderful natural phe-
nomena in the way of geysers, boiling
surinrs. ETC., described by Lieut.. Doane and
Governor Langford, they were satisfied that
the description fell far short of the reality
which they, indeed, despa ired Of being able
60 portray even with the aid Of Photographic
views and sketches.
one Of these geysers once in thirty--two
hours threw up column OF water about
oight ia diameter TO a height OF over 200
ieet. Hundreds were met with having
columns from ten TO fifty feet high, some
playing all the time, and others only at in
tervas The hottest springs were found to
-,z in tennerature from 1873 . to 1913 , the
mailing point at that altitude amounting TO
about l95 , Most of the springs were as
certained to be divisIble into two principal
classes. one class containing silica, sulphur,
and iron, and the other, silica and IRON only

to be about $500 feet the altitude OF the

\ curious fatality exists among tue horn
pouts in Goose Pond this season. They
die in great numbers, and in fact seem like
ly to become extinct. They come to the
surface and are blown to the edge Of the
pond By the wind, where bushels Of them
have been skinned out and buried by the
workmen under the direction of the Water
Board The dead fish are observed to be
almost always minus a tail, and with more
or less of the body missing, with the spinal
bones Protruding. In few cases the side
of the fish shows piece missing, and ap-
pears to have been the point attacked by
the disease. Among the victims washed
ashore are pouts of all sizes, from small TO
fry to those Of one or two pounds. Since
the enlargement of the pond by the over
flow of more territory, these fish have been
noticed to increase very rapidly IN num-
bers and size, and have been caught in
large numbers. The nature of this fish
disease Is not explained though it Is thought
by some to be the work of a parasite
which eats into the flesh. 4 very general
sensation of squeamishness was the result
when the above facts became known, and
use ofthe water for culinary purposes AMI as
beverage was very much diminished. But
there IS probably no occasion for alarm, as
theprompt action in removing these fish and
the recent abundant rain which must have
changed the water of the pond, leave 1t
far more free from decaying matter than

NEWS FROM CHINA AND JAPAN tele-
graph from San Francisco we have q news
report from China and Japan, dated at Hong
Kong on the Goth of October and Yokohama
on the Sd Of November. The intelligence is
not Of an important character. The Japanese
and foreigners in Japan commented with some
surprise on The withdrawal of the United States
expedition to Corea. 1t is evident that much
hope was entertained by the foreign population
in both the Asiatic empires that their interests
were about to be benefited by o vigorous
display Of the American banners, sustained by
a vigorous eastern policy directed from Wash
ington. 1t was reported that the Coreans
had attacked the Japanese settlement on the
island of Tausinia. The Japanese Ambassa-
dors to China returned home dissatisfied.
The members of the aristocracy Of japan
were disposed to be exceedingly troublesome
to the government, even in their humiliation
of rank and class privileges. Rice was un-
usually plentiful. The railroad and telegraph
works were still in progress, but not by any
means completed, in Japan.

THE MINISTERIAL CRISIS IN BRUssELs.-
Little people as we'll as big people get into
trouble. 1t is not otherwise with little States
and big States. We have had of late Cabinet
crises in London, in Vienna, in Madrid. Now
we have one in Brussels. 1t is gratifying to
know that the Cabinet crisis in Brussels is bMt
little likely to lead to a European. war OF .
universal conaagration. Still this little
trouble in Brussels saows that the Belgian
people are livery and wide awake az to their
interests and their power. The healthful
effect of this popular vigilance is shown in
the fact that the Ministry rendered its resig-
nation to the King of the Belgians yesterday
and that His Majesty accepted. His Majesty
draws closer to the liberals. The citizens Of
Ghent have undertaken to deliver hint to
the Crown in the shape of an indirect nomi-
nation of Jules Bura, the reformcr, for lead
ing position in the national Council. The
European democracy becomes more animated
daily.

The PRINCE OF WALES ILLNEss.-The ply
sicians in attendance on the Prince Of Wales
issued bulletin at six o'clock yesterday even
ing, which stated that His Royal Highness
''passed quiet day" This news was partic-
ularly satisfactory al the moment, owing to
the fact that the mind Of the people was not
assured agreeably by the morning report Of
the doctors as to the progress and phases OF
the fever during the night, from Tuesday even
ing to daybreak. The first statement said
there was no change in the condition
of the patient, but that the fever was
not so severe, and the Prince had gained
strength by sleep. The words no change
left the public uneasy, until they were re-
lieved by the publication OF the later and
more decisive words from Sandringham. The
Prince may tide over the crisis of the disease
to-day. cable telegram dated in London at
midnight informs us that there was mo
change to note in the condition Of the Prince"
at the early moment Of this morning. This is
not exactly encouraging. He holds his own
but the disease has been active and is still
malignant In its attack.

IT Is USUAL IN MASSACHUSETTS on Thanks
giving Day to pardon the most meritorious
convcts in the State Prison. Sngularly
enough, this practice has been the means this
year of creating q row between the Warden Of
the prison and the Governor, who, of course,
possesses the pardoning power. The Warden
recommended some prisoner for the exercise
of executive clemency which the Governor
did not see ft to grant. Hence the Warden
threatens to resign, and the usual Thanksgiv-
ing festivities in the State Prison of Massachu-
setts this year are, unfortunately, likely to bs
a little marred.

THE POPE SUBMITS, BUT STILL PROTESTS. =
On Tuesday an address was presented to the
Holy Father. The address necessitating o
reply gave the Pope an opportunity to touch
upon the situation. The Pope stands firm on
the rock. Why should he not2 The rock can
not be removed. Why should he? The good
old man, bewldered somewhat by this age Of
telegraphs and railroads and nationalities and
races, is perplexed; but his faith in the ulti-
mate triumph of the Church is unwavering.
The Church in the end, he says, must tri-
umph and he protests against all ideas of
compromise with the rulers of Italy II is
well, we think, that while the Pope protests
he submits.

PHILADELPHIA is BECOMING QUITE SENsA-
TIoNAL.-Yesterday the case of cx-City Treas
urer Marcer was before the Court of Common
Pleas, aud Judge Paxson, true to the cause Of
reform, rendered judgment against the pecu-
lating official for the full amount of the defal-
cations discovered by the Auditors. This
Judgment covers the trifng amount of four
hundred and seventy-eight thousand dollars,
which, it appears, Marcer has not promised to
pay. Late in the evening, and while the
aforesaid suit was being discussed by
the citizens, report was circulated that
culvert on Tenth street had sunk;
and again, scarcely was this piece
of Information swallowed when another
report came to hand that large hole ten feet
in diameter, and apparently without q bottom,
was discovered in the same neighborhood. Iu
the latter place it was stated that the rushing
OF water or something like it could be dis
tinctly heard, but how far 1t was off or what
liquid it was could not be discovered. Verify,
strange things happen nowadays, but it would
be scarcely consistent to believe that the city
of saints was built over some important oil
springs, or that, like the report recently OF
Scranton, it was about to seek other quarters.

from North Carolina, in which he states that
1t is simply his intention to hold the position
of Senator until he can get vote on bis Pc
tition for relief from his disabilities, and II
that vote is against him he will promptly re-
sign. General J. 9. Abbott, from New Hamp-
shire, is working strenuously to retain his seat
against the positive wish Of majority OF tho
people of the State of his adoption.

THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION.
The editor of the Baltimore Amcrican who
is member Of the Republican National Com
mittee, issues proclamation on his own
account, through the columns of his paper,
that he will introduce in that committee at
its meeting in Washington in January next
resolution recommending republicans in all
the States to refrain from sending federal
ofice-holders as delegates to the R,pub-
lican National Convention. This is evil
dently movement intended to head the
great national and general reform agitation OF
the day, and make il take shape for the benefit
Of the republicans in the next Presidential
campaign. But the spectacle of o national po-
litical convention of either Of the great parties
being held without the attendance Of federal
of1ice-holders would hardly be considered a
count in reform indictment, drawn by even
so virtuous body as our own Committee OF
Seventy.

PRUssIAN SOLDIERS MURDERED IN
FRANCE.-Prussian soldiers serving in the
hostaged districts Of France are as.assi-
nated-many Of them, 1t is said-by the
French. So it is charged in Berlin. The
perpetrators of the murders escape with i'm
punity. The Prussian press demands that the
War ONCE autho lies adopt the most ener-
getc measures In order TO stop such outrages.
The call win be endorsed universally. W.
are astonished il was left 10 the press to make
1t, or that II was necessary to be made at all,
considering the exact degree OF care with
which military affairs are managed in Prussia.

THE ALABAMA State Journal republican J
adopts novel method to get the ear or eye of
General Grant. II publishes a three column
editorial addressed ito the President" and
advising him of the condition OF the Union
republican party of Alabama. The writer
concludes by stating, "We shall await pa
tently for the President to give us advice"
If the President has the patience to peruse the
homily il will be about as much as could be
reasonably expected of him. To give advice
thereupon Is asking rather too much.

THE SPEAKERsHIP OF THE AssEMBLY.-Thi
subject is being widely discussed by our inte-
rior exchanges. The Buffalo Ezpress favors
Mr.. Alberger, of that city. The Mohawk VAL
ley Register would have Henry Smith, of
Albany, or Thomas G. Alvord, Of Onondaga.
The Montgomery Republican also favors
Henry Smith. The Troy Times says mo
man about whom there is the slightest suspi-
cion in respect to his legislative integrity aud
his constant fidelity to his party in the trying
times Of the last two sessions of the Legisla-
ture ought to be Speaker" This may hit
hard some aspirants already spoken of. The
Malone Palladium says the Speaker should
represent no clique or faction, but is favorable
to the election of Henry Smith. We are in
clined to think that our country contempora-
ries need not trouble themselves much about
the Speakership. That matter is very likely
to be settled in caucus, under compromises
calculated to heal, as far as possible, the dis
sensons among the republicans in the State.

Tho Famine and Auarchy In Persia.


To the terrible calamity which has fallen
on the Inhabitants of Persia must be added the
misfortunes of revolution. Discomfort pre-
walls generally throughout the country, the
Shah personally is unpopular and his govern
ment reviled. He is incompetent as ruler
and unequal to the heavy responsibility wnicn
rests upon him. short time since be lett MS
palace in the capital to 60 on hunting ex-
cursion, utterly oblivious to the fact that MS
people were suffering and that his presence
was needed at the seat Of government. The
desire for personal indulgence, however, was
more potent than the appeals OF suffering
humanity, and he departed on an expedition OF
pleasure, leaving the management of State
affairs to an unpopular regent and the people
at the mercy of a mutinous army. The people
were maddened almost to despair, and revolu-
tionary displays ensued, so much so that on
his return he, In fear of personal Violence
repaired to summer palace, instead OF taxing
up his residence in the capital. The people
gathered in thousands round the palace in the
capital, uttering seditious cries and making
rebellous demonstrations. These may be but
the precursors of other outbreaks, which will
result more disastrously in the near future.
Winter is approaching and the grain supplies
are almost exhausted. Bad as have been the
scenes recently witnessed, when in and about
the city and country of Meschid, for example,
over eighty thousand persons perished from
famine and disease, worse will in all
probability ensue during the winter months.
The cholera, also, as if to add to the calamity
of the Persians, prevails throughout the land,
and in almost every instance with fatal
results.

THE New GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS AND I'M
PRovEMENTs. The supervising architect to
the government has just made lengthy aud
exhaustive report upon the numerous public
buildings now in course OF construction in
various parts of the United States. From the
manner in which he writes on these matters 1t
is evident he has made the most minute cal
culations, and practically studied the ques-
tions Of cost of material and labor. Hence
the subject matter published in another
column will prove more than ordinarily inter-
esting.

molly In Ludlow Street Hail.


molly In Ludlow Street JaiI.
Rumor was busy and excitement was at
fever heat yesterday on the subject of our city
complications, but when the few facts had
been extracted from the liberal supply Of Gc-
tion by our vigilant and active reporters IL
was found that no material change had taken
place in any OF the main features, except that
ex-Comptroller Connolly, after vigorous efforts
had been made to secure the necessary amount
of bail, and had all proved futile, was trans.
ferred to the common County Jail and tbera
incarcerated. The injunction obtained from
Judge Brady to prohibit Tweed from disposing
of his property until after the decision of the
pending suit brought by the Attorney General
of the State through Charles O'Conor was
generally discussed and approved but as
Tweed is known to have been turning all his
real estate, railroad shares and other securi-
ties into cash for several weeks past, the
chances are that the movement on the part
of the people comes too late. The Committee
OF Seventy appear to have got into Q
muddle, and are endeavoring to break up
their subcommittee on legislation and to take
the drafting of charter into their own hands.
In the meantime the work before the Grand
Jury goes steadily on, Judge Bedford having
extended the term of the General Sess:vos to
the 18th December. The other startling ru-
mors of arrests and designations with which
the air was filled yesterday afternoon were
simply the productions of imaginative minds
and had no foundation in fact.

to nominate Tom Scott for the Presidency.
