TURKEY.

VIENNA, July 12.-The insuTectiOn in
Herzegovina extends along the Dalmatian
border. 1t is much more serious than the
usual disturbances in that quarter. The
pOpUlace have attacked the Turkish author
tiles on the frontier towns, and in many
places the Austrian flag has been raised.
LONDON, July ia special dispatch
to the StGld0rd represents that the disturb
ance IN Herzegovina consists, apparently,
of a number Of riots among the SclavOnian
inhabitants of villages in the Western dis
trict, who have teen aroused to resistance
by an endeayOr Of the Turkish officials to
collect arrears Of taxes. Large bands Of
fugitives, composed mainly Of women and
children. cross the border into Dalmatia
daily. The Turkish troops, on the night
Of July 4, made an attack on the defenses
erected by the insurgents at 4 bridge over
the Erupa river, near Celevo. After long
and bloody combat, they were defeated, and
fell back in disorder.
LONDON, July y, 4 A. M.-The Stand
ard publishes advices from YOra, the
capital Of Dalmatia, which represent that
Panslayic emissaries spread reports among
the HeTZegOvinians that the Turks intend
ed to extirpate Christians. These false
hoods caused the iusuTrectiOn. Masses of
insurgents surrounded the towns Of GaSkO,
NeVinsini and StOtals. Six hundred fami-
lies have fed into CroSatia and Servia, and
twelve hundred have arrived in Dalmatia
at different points along the frontier.

COMMISSION MERCHANT.

readily harmoniZe on such a proposition
as would be presented IN view of the
present emergency, could hardly be ex-
pected.
BuJ il it be the desire Of the authori-
ties to pay the July interest, what ne
cessity is there for further legislative
uctions Nothing the Legislature might
now do would hasten a dollar Of reVe-
nue. into the Treasury IN time for the
purpose. No further power to negO-
tiate a loan is needed. That power is
already granted. If the Baltimore Sun
is correct in its quotation from the let
ter Of the State Treasurer, ''the proper
officers had an offer Of the money at 5
PER cent. 3nd declined" Could any
act of the Legislature secure a loan at
less rate2 If the money was offered at
S per cent, might it not still be secured
mt that rates How much would
this cost the Statcs Our revenue IS
now suspended, but it is drawing inter-
est for ite State n. ibe rate Of 6per cent
per annum. This interest is GH eEtra-
ordinary payment by the people in con-
sequence Of the suspension Of CCllec-
tiOns. So it follows that, 50 far as the
State Treasury IS concerned, a loan at
the rate proposed would cost but . per
cent per annum over and above the or
dinary revenue. While paying per
cent on the loan, the State would be
collecting 6 per ceht ON the like sum
from the people. So that upon
the S6OO,OOO to be borrowed, say
for nine months, while the State
would pay SD, 600 interest, she would
receive S27, 900, leaving Just $4,000 as
the net cost Of the loan for nine months.
But this is not all. The State is charg-
ing six per cent interest upon the entire
amount Of suspended revenue-say at
least 81 ,OOO,OOO 10 Sl,jOOOOO - for
twelve months from last November.
This, ut the lover estimate, viii amount
o. $4,000 int rest. What could have
been the object IA imposing This ertrGOT-
diHaIy tar Of interest upon the people, If
It were not t. provide for the interest
upon iOGR rendered necessary by the
suspension of the revenues We pro-
pound these questions. mall seriousness.
According to our arithmetic, with the
offer of q loau even at 3 per cent per
Iunum, the State is Just $4,000 worse
of for purposes Of present payment
tO say nothing Of additional interest on
gross revenuc-than she would be had
her suspended revenue been paid into
the Treasury. Yet for the sakeO Ofsuch
4 consideration as that, the great State
Of Tennessee. with her new obligations
scarcely dry IN the holders hands, must
now step, IN dishonor, to the rear Of
such State as South Carolina, where,
without injustice, "the scorner may
snecr ut, and the willing deflIne her.

THERE is a hearty glow of patriot
ism about this paragraph from the
Memphis appeal, which is extremely
pleasant: Democrats we are, and Ten
nesseeans, and full Of love for our
thrice-blessed Southland; but over all
there laps the claim of the Union, with
its great achievements and Its greater
destiny. God bless the flag, and God
bless the Union, and may He strengthen
all hearts, both North and South, to
labor for an everlasting peace between
the States. .'-NelU York Tribune.
Yet, according to the Independent
acceptation of the term, the Appeal and
all other Southern journals of similar
views belong to the Bourbon stripe.
It's about time to overhaul and revise
the political vocabulary.

eighteen years, will be disproven, or that

The Miners Again on a strik


louisville, PA, July l2.-Since re-
sumption took place there have been signs
Of discomfort among miners in the employ
of individual operators against ten per cent.
reduction. The men aver that cOmprO-
mise would be more inst to all parties
concerned. Though dissatisfaction among
them has existed in various parts
of the region for some time,
there was no strike inaugurated
until to-day, when the miners turned out
at >. Clair to 4 man. At Wadesyille all
outside laborers struck. It was hoped
there would be a compromise at st. Clair,
but dispatches from there tonight report
that the men will not go to work. The
CoIlieries at both places are owned and
operated by individual enterprise, and
give employment to a large number of men
and boys.

ANOTHER GREAT WATER ROUTE.


In letter to the editor Of the Knoz-
riLIe Press and Herald, Mr.. Thomas J.
Perry, of Rome, Ga, thus refers to a
new and important enterprise in which
that State, Alabama and Tennessee are
interested:
The citizens Of Mobile, Selma, Mont
gomery, Wetumpka, and IN fact all
along the line of the river, are taking
active steps to open the Coosa to navi-
CATION from Mobile to Rome, and from
Rome to your city, via the Oostanaula
and Hiwassee rivers to the Tennessee
river, which viii give you new
and q very important water route
and the shortest route TO the coast, a
distance Of about 300 miles. You will
see 10y the enclosed call Of our Mayor,
that we will hold a citizens meeting to
take steps to hold a convention IN this
city during Fair week, IN October, in
the interest Of this national enterprise,
and viii invite the representative men
of your city to meet those of Mobile IN
this city and those all along the entire
line. from your city to Mobile, TO aid
In this great waTk. Practical and eX-
perienced engineers say this connec-
ton can be easily made, and at a
comparatively. small cost. 1t would
be worth a 81, 100000 year to East
Tennessee to have water transporta-
ton to Mobile. VIII you stir up your
people to examine into this matter:
But few, suppose, have ever thought
of it, but when they do, l feel sure
they will be co-wokers in consummat-
ing this desirable object. The Ala
bamisns want your hog and hominy
and forage for their stock, and you
will want their cotton, etc, etc.
We see that the Mayor Of Rome has
called a meeting of the citizens of that
,FIoydJ county for tomorrow, to make
arrangements for holding the October
convention.

AN OHIO MARROW GAUGE EXPER-
IMENT.

EmE ENI.
The PainesviIle and Youngstown
Narrow Gauge Railroad, in Ohio, is
nearly completed to the latter place,
and has already begun transporting
coal to It's northern terminus at Fair
port, on Lake Erie. 1t will soon be In
full operation and the test it viii afford
of the relative economy Of the three
feet and ordinary gauges will be
watched with interest. The line Is
about sixty miles long, and runs nearly
a little west Of north from Youngstown
to the lake. 1t will have IN the coal
traffic the active competition Of three
roads of the usual gauge Of five feet
According to the claims of its officers,
the advantage Of the narrow-gauge is
that on a car weighing only four
tons it can carry eight tons Of coal,
while the five feet gauge roads trans
port only ten tons on 4 car weighing
ten. Thus the narrow gauge gets pay
for four tons as freight on each car
which its competitors must haul for
nothing in the shape of rolling stock.
The cost Of building the line was about
$4,000, probably one-fourth less thana
wide gauge road would have cost.
There is not much saving in operating
expenses, as it takes just as many
hands to run a narrow train as a wide
one. Considerable saving is effected,
however, in the equipment. As pas
sengcr road the line answers all the
requirements Of the country it ira
verses. Its cars are comfortable, anC
as soon as the Toad-bed becomes firm
the trains Will run with as much stead
iness as on other roads.
