GENERAL NEWS.

Tucson is affected with coal oil
famine. A fresh supply cannot arrive
too soon.
The San Fernando oil wells arc now
affording some very encouraging re-
suits. It is thought the district is very
rich in petroleum.
The plague has reached Bagdad, where
there are ten cases daily. The Egyptian
sanitary authorities quarantine arrivals
from the Persian gulf for fifteen days.
The proposed retirement of the Gear
appears partially confirmed. 1t is stated
that the Czsrowitch will be intrusted
with the Regency during the summer,
being temporarily invested with full
sovereign power.
At Santa Barbara, Cal. the body Of q
man apparently about 40 years old,
was found lying on the beach, washed
up by the tide. On the left side OF the
head was long deep cash, as il inflicted
with some heavy instrument. The cir
cumstances seem to point to foul play.

Two st. Petersburg journals--ths
Golas and the Vedemosti-assure the
South Sclavonians that although Russia
Is hardly in position to succor them al
once, she will neither coerce them by
violent measures nor allow another
power 10 coerce them. II the Soutt
Sclavonians feel strong enough to ris'
against the Turks. Russia. according t
the Vedemosti, will guarantee the neu
trality Of other parties. This languag
strangely differs from the intelligence
semi officially propagated, but under thu
Russian press laws it could not be at
tered with impunity il unapproved of.
The French Senate has arranged a
method for a partial renewal OF it,
membership every three years. as pres
cribed by the constitutional laws. TIL
departments are divided according t
alphabetical order into three categories
each represented by 70 Senators. Lot
were then drawn to decide the order j
which the Senators of the three cate
gories must seek selection. and the rosul
was that Senators in the first categor
are to retire after nine years. those i
the second after three years and those II
the third after six years. The secon
category OF Senators thus obliged to n
tire at the expiration Of three years in

The Inyo Independent states that one
j. r. Norton, who is in Jail at 1ndepen-
dencs for the killing Of James Coyls. at
Darwin. is deliberately starving himself
to death, not having taken any nourish-

die, aud that when be is taken from the
Jail Il will be as a corpse. that his
family shall not be disgraced by his
being hung.
In reference to the deadlock in min
ing matters a. Eureka the Sentinel says;
We predicted few days ago that the diff
ferences existing between the Miners
Union and managers Of the Ruby Hill
mining companies would be speedily and
am icably adjusted. Our prediction wal
based upon the statements OF both par.
ties, which, conformity, would appear to
Justify the conclusion; but we have since
received no intimation that any steps
have been taken towards the reconcilia
ton Of difficulties. The Union has made
no announcement Of its Intention to re
cede from Its position in relation to con
tract work and the unemployment b,
the companies Of other than Union men
and we have been authoritatively in
formed that the companies are fully de
termined not to resume operations unde
any dctation in regard to the manner il
which their claims shall be worked, o
as to whom they shall or shall not EN-
ploy. And so the matter stands at
deadlock. In the meantime, miniDl
operations are entirely suspended a
Ruby Hill, and business OF all kinds il
almost at a standstill in Eureka. WheI
there will DO an improvement upon this
condition OF affairs we will not hazard I
conjecture; but certainly the outlook a
present appears anything but favorable

BEECHER AGAIN.

The kilograms published this morning
state that the Beecher crowd are at it
again. Tbis time Il Is tho members Of
the Association Of Congregational Minis
tiers. They propose to again stir up the
Bsscher mess by inviting every one who
knows anything about the matter to
come forward and tell II all or forever
hold their peace. That is all very well
but the court is not very satisfactorily
constituted. That Glendenning business
gave the public a proof Of tho folly Of
trying ministers before members OF the
same profession. We therefore propose
another mode Of getting rid Of Beeoher.

Before Congress adjourns for the
