AUSTRIA.


VIENNA, January A. The Spanish
cabinet learned from confidential quar-.

tents Of a circular Of the United States TO
the European powers regarding Cuba,
Spain thereupon instructed her represent
atiyes to explain TO the various govern

only Of American but Of European inter.
est, and that complications between the
United Stated and Spain might have in
calculable consequences for Europe, as
they would encourage the Carlists TO
make a prolonged resistance and revive
the hopes Of the Federalists, Republicans
and Socialists. The Austrian govern
ment received these circulars in friend.

Pennsylvania L Legislature.

HARRISBURG, January 4.-The Senate
was called to order to-day by Lieut.. Gov.
Latta. Z. w. Davis was chosen Presi-
dent pro TEN. by % Republican votes, the
Democrats refusing TO vote on the ground
that that officer had been elected, Davis
having been chosen at the end OF the ses-
sion Of 1875. The House was called to
order by Speaker Patterson, and business
Immediately proceeded.
GOVERNOR HARTIASTr's MESSAGE.
Governor Hartranit, in his annual mes.
sage to the Legislature, says that during
the fiscal year ending November 80,
1875, the total amount Of the debt re-
deemed was 81 1886, ,497; total receipts, ST.
534, $50; total. disbursements, S6;54l ,44S;
balance in the treasury, S993,207. 1t is
estimated that the revenue this year will
be about five hundred thousand dollars
less than last year, which would make
deficiency at the end OF the current fiscal
year OF about 81 100000. The appropri-
ations cannot be materially reduced, and
the deficiency must be provided for either
by imposition ofnew taxes or diversion
into the general fund OF some Of the rev.
enues now flowing into the sinking fund.
To levy new taxes at time when buSi-
ness and industrial interests are prostrat-
ed would be unwise and great hardship,
and would Justly meet with public con-
demnation. The necessity therefore Of
the Redistribution OF revenues is obvious
ly duty that is urgent and demands i'm
mediate attention. The government
therefore recommends that one-third OF
the revenues now assigned to the sinking.
fund be transferred to the general fund.
Referring to the Centennial Exhibition,
the Governor says: Whatever doubts have
hitherto possessed the public mind about
the success Of the Centennial, they are now
happily dispatched, and it is evident that
the country has awakened to the convic-
tion that the exhibition, instead OF being
merely local, will transcend in dignity
and magnitude any Of the expositions
that have preceded it in Europe. 1t be-
comes Pennsylvania, therefore, to bestir
herself and strive to have a full represen-
tation Of her resources and industries on
exhibition.
The Governor calls attention to the
disturbances in the mining regions, and
says some remedy must be devised for
their suppression. 1t must be unders!oo
once for all that any violation Of private
rights or resistance TO public officers
when in discharge Of their duty will be
summarily dealt with, and if the civil
authorities and the power OF the county

A Mysterious Box,

NEW YoRK, January 4.-Captain Ken.
nedy, OF the ninth precinct, was informed
to-day that wooden box OF a very mys-
terious character was found in the store
room pier, SO North River, occupied by
the White Star lime steamers. The Cap
tain investigated and learned that the box
had been brought there on board the
steamer Celtic, which arrived in this port
from Europe on the 24th Of October. The
steamer left Liverpool for Queenstown
and New York on the 14th OF that month.
On the day before she sailed William X.
Thomas, who caused the terrible explo-
sion to the Mosel and who had engaged
passage in the Celtic, had brought the
box on board at Liverpool, representing
it TO contain thirty thousand dollars in
gold coin, and wished to effect an in
surance on the box for its full value.
He was told its insurance was not neces-
sary; that it would-be placed in a sepa-
rate room where it would be kept safely.
He was also informed that before insur-
ing the box it would be necessary to have
it opened for inspection. To this he de-
INJURED, and il was placed in special
room, where it remained undisturbed
throughout the whole voyage. Thomas
came as passenger on the Celtic; and
when the box was brought ashore he
represented TO the CustOm House In
spectors that il contained cartridges
which he had brought to this country for
his own use, as he was going on an extern
siye hunting tour throughout the Western
