General News Summary,
THE OLD WORLD.

The German papers state that the Ameri-
can press has greatly exaggerated the ac-
ton of the Prussian Government looking
toward the checking of emigration. The
partial revocation of reduced fares for emil
grants on the German railways is required
by motives of political economy and private
interest"
Bismark has received formal notice from
the King of the acceptance of his resigna-
ton of the Premiership.
The King of the Sandwich Islands is dead,
and as he left no direct heir, and did not
name his successor, the throne continued
vacant at last accounts, and revolution
was expected.
By the terms of the bill read in the Span
ish Cortes on the Oath, slavery is to cease in
Porto Rico in four months from the time the
measure of emancipation is passed, and the
Shareholders are to be paid for the slave
property thus confscated.
A large portion of the famous Dover Cliff,
in England, fell recently during terrible
storm of wind and rain, crushing two
houses and filling several yards with debris
and masses of chalk. The fall was antici-
pated, and the houses were therefore unoc
cupied.
By the recent wrecking of the steamship
Germany thirty persons were lost, twelve of
whom were passengers, only one being
American.
During missionary meeting at Stafford,
England, on the night of the 25th, the floor
of the building gave way, precipitating
hundred persons considerable distance.
Many were injured, some fatally.
A special from Berlin on the 9th ult. says
the British Ambassador at st. Petersburg
had delivered a note to Prince Gortschakoff,
informing him that England would abstain
from interfering with Russian progress in
Central Asia if it did not threaten Afghan
istan. Nine thousand Khivan troops were
besieging Russian forts on the Euerba River.
Another force of 1900 Khivese were depre-
dating on the Russian fisheries at the mouth
of the Euerba. Reinforcements had been
sent to the Russian troops in that locality.
Persons entering Germany from France
are not now required to provide themselves
with passports.
Details of the great storms in England
show that two hundred and twenty-one ma
rine accidents occurred in November, and
over one hundred lives were lost at sea in
December.

The Accident on the Buffalo & Cory
Railroad.
ERIE, Pa, December 2

ERIE, Pa, December &C.
The immediate cause of the accident at
Prospect Station was a broken fange on
the tender-wheel. About sixty rods west
of the station is a trestle work some
thirty-feet high over which the locomotive
and tender of the Eastern-bound express
passed in safety, but the baggage and
passenger cars (only two coaches being
in the train) were thrown from the trestle,
fell thirty feet, and struck top downward.
The weight of the trucks crushed in the
cars, closing up the windows, and, to
render the situation even more terrible,
the passenger coach was partially tilted
upon its side so that, for the occupants OF
that side, there were absolutely no means
of escape. Almost Immediately the cars
took fire, the passenger coach burning at
both ends. Some half dozen persons
waiting at the station were soon at the
scene of the accident, but they worked at
an immense disadvantage. No water
could be had, and the snow that was
scraped up had little effect in staying the
flames.

IT has been decided in England that
bankrupt may not refuse to answer ques-
tions which are put TO him touching his
estates and effects, even when such ques-
tions tend to criminate him. Such rule
might possibly be initiated to good ad-
vantage everywhere, though it has been
the custom to treat bankrupts in this
country with the same immunity in this
regard as if they were arraigned as GRIM
inals. But the English courts seem to
have gone too far in the other direction,
as it has been recently held that such an
examination may be introduced as eVl-
dence in any criminal suit that may fol-
low: and man has been actually con-
victed in a criminal prosecution by Nis
own testimony given previously in bank.

After all that we have written and said about
the urgency and wisdom Of tree planting it is
particularly gratifying to note the hundreds,
yes thousands of trees that have been trans
planted in Wichita this spring. On both sides
Of Emporia, Lawrence and Topeka avenues,
in Mead's addition, in particular, have the
property holders come fully up to the spirit of
tree adornment. On these avenues, for a half
mile, symmetrical rows Of forest trees have
been carefully and tastefully set. All that is
needed now is proper care. Trim properly,
and In case of dry weather, mulch the top Of
the ground around the roots, and in four or
five years those avenues will become beautiful
drives and pleasant places Of resort, while
property will be valuable. Our city site is
very level and the only way to diversity and
beautify its scenery is by the planting of trees.
The kind of tree is not 20 much Of Importance,
so it is q thrifty and rapid grower, with
plenty OF foliage. Costly frs, pines, &C.
dars and fancy naples and poplars here and
there in yards for variety are all very well,
yet after all our native cottonwood is hard to
excel. The city Of Houston, Texas, is situated
exactly like Wichita, yet it is a most delight
fuI place. and all its beauty is wing to its trees
and shrubs, which line every street and fill
every yard, empowering the city in forest of
densest green. To see such place, every
street has to be travelled in turn, while every
turn and every square sets forth new beauties.
We have in Wichita the finest natural streets.
the finest natural drives in the world, but for one
thing, the lack Of trees. Let us have forest
of them throughout the city. which will break
the winds, lay the dust, will give us shade and
cool walks, and render our location almost
paradise upon earth.

The Fl. Scott Monitor in giving a Inst Of rail-

Mr.. Millison as the member from the 18th dis

mination to keep John NJ. Steele out OF the
position. ID. L. Payne went up to Topeka and
claimed the seat. We know Of but one Milli-
.on in this district. He is a printer. lives in
Wichita and could not have been an applicant
for the place. as he was not a voter at the time
Of the election. We guess there is SOME mis-
take upon the part Of the Monitor. John NJ.
Steele was the regular republican nominee.

prises us that there should have even arose q
