Another Great Marine Canal.
AMSTERDAM, Nov. 1.-The great
maritime canal, connecting this city
with the German ocean, was com.
pleted to-day with imposing cere.
mony, at which the King, members
of the cabinet and foreign represen-
tatives were present. A grand ban
quet took place. This evening the
city is covered with flags, a general
illumination, and a splendid exhibit
ton of fireworks. The canal is 160
miles long, and has at the sea end a
harbor covering $50 acres, which,
however, is not quite completed.
The Noble Red Men Killing Each Other.
SALT LAKE, Nov. "A report from
Stambaugh says: A village of fifty
lodges of Shoshones was attacked
October 30th by large Sioux war
party, estimated at l 200 lodges, at
Painted Rock. near the scene of
Capt. Bates fight in July, 1874, and
about ninety miles miles from Camp
Stambaugh. As far US learned only
one Shoshone, by the name of
Humpy," escaped. He was the
Indian that saved the life of Captain
Henry, in Crooks second fight this
summer.

ham Young that had been sold at
auction by the commissioner. The

but reconsidering his action to-day

stag, Diet of the Realm, and Baron

Liverpool Grain Market.
LIVERPOOL, Nov. 3.-Breadstuffs
quiet. Western wheat, 9@9s lid
for Wisconsin; IS 8d@10s for red
winter; los 5d@2Os Sd for California
club.
LIVERPOOL, Nov. 3.-The leading
grain circular says: With the contin-
ual fine weather favorable to the Ia
bors of husbandry. the British grain
markets are still scantily supplied
with wheat, the value of which re-
mains unchanged. Foreign trade is
at the same time more steady, after
tho slight depression and activity has
been partially resumed. It is now
understood that I'M armistice having
been agreed upon by Turkey
and Servia, the influence of war an
ticipations will not have the effect,
as of late, of exciting speculation;
but as stock taking at the close OF
the month shows that short supplies
coming since September 1ss utee re-
suited in a material reduction in
quantities in granary, there appears
fair element for steadiness at cur
rent rates. At Liverpool we have
204, 900 quarters less in store now
than on August 31st, and our local
consumption with that to the inte-
roir and elsewhere made an average in
the interval of 10000 quarters per
week; with moderate attendance of
county millers at to-day's market,
but sellers of wheat show much firm
ness. A tolerably fair business in
the aggrega te haslbeen done at rates
current on Tuesday. Flour was
steady at quotations. Corn was slow
and dull. Holders would willingly
make an accession of Cd to effect
sales.
Arresting Crooked Voters.
New YORK, Nov. THE U. S.
Marshals were busy all this forenoon,
looking out for those who, having
registered illegally, might attempt to
vote, and by noon fully FIVE hundred
were captured and taken before the
Supervisor of elections, who dispose d
of them in patches of Is. The top
floor of the postof6ce forms the prison
pen, and the court room presents q
curious spectacle. One elevator is
used to carry the captured repeaters
from the street to their quarters, and
it is kept busy. A few of those ar
rested offer resistance, but they have
to 60 with their captors. Those who
registered illegally under misappre-
hension or through ignorance are dis
charged; but the known repeaters
are promptly consigned to prison.
A Trick Of the Trade.
About 2 o'clock it was discovered
the Republicans were distributing
Democlatic electoral tickets headed
with the names of Tilden and Hen
bricks, with the Republican electoral
ticket undesneath, which created in.
tense excitement among the Demo-
crata. A large number of these tick
cts were torn up by Democratic
agents, but it is though there are
some thousands of them in the box.
