The Austrian Emperor Visits the
American Department.
High Compliment Paid to Ameri-
can Industry.

NEW YORK, July 23.-A Vienna despatch
states that Emperor Joseph OF Austria, visited
the most of the American department of the
Exposition Yesterday, accompanied by the
Commissioners He inspected carefully the
sewing machines, and the map of Philadelphia,
enquiring about the centennial. He looked at
the school house models and enquired as to the
methods of instructions and statistics of the
school attendance. He was curious ab0nt the
model of the Helleate excavation, and was
interested in the contributions of citron, sugar
and rice from the Southern States. He decn-
ed a glass of American wine. He studied the
map of the Northern Pacific Railroad, saying,
''You have an immense country, but don't the
Indians trouble your settlers and travelers?'
He and his suite were interested in the bank
notes and chromos the gold pens and especial
ly the specimens of American ores and iron.
He raised his hat to acknowledge the playing
of the Austrian national hymn on an Ameri-
can parlor organ, and critically viewed the dis
Plassaf boots, shoes and leather. The emperor
andsliis officers were impressed with the mod
els of guns saddles and cannon, and carefully
inspected the model for the hospital for the re-
lief of wounded soldiers. He closed his two
hours view by stating that he would devote an
other occasion for the inspection of agricultural
implements, machinery and the American
school houses The Emperor said that for i'm
provement in inventions and new inventions
sincesthe last exposition, America is without a
comparison in the entire building America
makes here more varied, instructive and in-
teresting dplay than it has shown in any pre-
vious foreign exhibition. Beyond that, the
most noticeable feature in your display of in
dustry and art is the constant evidence which il
affords that ths artificers are thinking men and
that your laborers are inspired by constant and
active intelligence. The Emperor then visited
the British exhibition. --.
The Recognition of the CarIists.
PARIs, July 23-[New York Herald Special
Appropriation for the recognition of the Car
lists has been more than once discussed in the
French Cabinet. The Duke De Bioglie favors
treating with the government of Don Carlos,
a. the only power capable OF performing the
functions of the government of Spain.
President M3Mahon is willing to accept sthe
Duke de Broglac's terms, even if he may not
himself compromise by his promise the frie ads
of Don Carlos But other members of the min
-istry apprehend that such a course would great
ly excite France, and too glaringly countenance
and recognize mOnarchial tendencies as right.
The Carlsts however are confident of early rec
ignition and are encouraged by their recent
SD ccesses everywhere, the general disorgani-
zation in Spain of every power that could have
opposed them, and the dependency and hope
lesspess that seem to have seized the republi-
cansk

way of French Territory, thus tactly admit
ting their Incapacity to supply that place by
the route through Spain on account OF the
Carlists. France refuses permission and Puy-
cerda will therefore probably fall

WASHINGTON, July 23.-The report of Com
mander Mahan of the Wasp, dated ''of Monte
vedio June 14th," says: The reported capture

be confiscated The journals estimate $4,000 in
