New York, June 3.-The silk mer-
chants here are uniting to protect
themselves against the smugglers, and
invite the cooperation of merchants
in other cities.
The great forest fires are still raging
in parts of Pennsylvania. In Monroe
County several lives have been lost.
The inhabitants of Locust Ridge,
Evergreen, Stoddartsville, Gouldsboro
and many of the numbering settle
ments were all driven from their
homes, and hundreds of people saved
only what clothing they wore. Many
families were driven for miles before
the advancing confagratiou, and sew
eral old and feeble persons were
burned to death.

Cincinnati, June Sin the brewers
congress to-day, the committee on
resolutions made a lengthy report,
which recites the fact that brewers pay
about S9,OOO,O 900 revenue tax, and
would probably pay more but for the
stringent rules of the revenue officers.
They request the government to re-
move the unnecessary restrictions un-
der which the malt liquor interest
la6ors, aud ask that Congress be petit
toned to amend the Internal Revenue
laws so as to limit the power assumed
by the Commissioner of Internal Rev
enue, in deciding the amount Of tax a
brewer is liable to pay.

Pottsville, Pa, June 3.-The situa-
ton is becoming critical. The citizens
of Shenandoah have applied for the
military, as large bodies of miners are
coming to the town to compel the sus-
pension of work, and as Deputy
Sheriff Hester has only a posse of
fifty men, he will be unable to prstect
the working miners. Gov. Hartranft
has telegraphed from Williamsport to
Gen. Siegfried, directing him to call
out the military in case the Sheriff is
unable to disperse the mob. The
troops in other localities have been
ordered to hold themselves in readi-
ness. The troops here are assembled
in their respective armories.
This mornings dispatch, received
from Mahoney City, stating that large
crowds of men from Hazleton and
vicinity had arrived in Mahoney City
this morning, and were compelling all
TO go with them to stop the working
in the mines that had resumed work
since Monday last. About one thou
sand men are now marching from
colliery to colliery, compelling the
miners to suspend work.

Washington, June S.-The Presi-
dent and Mrs. Grant, Mr.. and Mrs.
Sartoris, Mrs. Col. Grant and Gen.
Babcock left this morning for Long
Branch, to spend the summer The
President, before leaving. signed a
proclamation to extend the duration
of the Court of Commissioners on the
Alabama claims, for six months from
the 22nd of July.
NAt council with the Indians at
their hotel, to-day, Red Cloud urged
that six commissioners be appointed
to go out with them. If possible, and
on his part nominated Todd Randall
and Mr.. Collins for two Of the six.
The Commissioner agreed that the
stakes of the Nebraska line, which
trouble the Indians so much, should
be removed, and said that the Presi-
dent would consider the appointment
Of commissioners.
Secretatary Delano has concluded to
suspend the sale of Indian lands in
Kansas till January, 1876. This action
is taken upon the recommendation of
Gen. ingalls,, Commissioners Smith
and others, in consequence of the suf-
fering of the settlers by drought and
grasshoppers.
