Foreign Affairs.

The Sultan OF Turkey Dethroned-Abdul
Aziz Deposed by the Popular Will-order
Maintaihed.-M Efendi Declared Sui
tan-More Fighting in Herzegovina.
Abdul Aziz, who has been the Sultan
of Turkey since 1861, was deposed by his
Ministers on Monday night. His nephew,
Murad Eflendi, being the heir presump-
tive, was Immediately proclaimed Sultan.
The immediate cause Of the ex-Sultans
downfall was the discomfort of the Soitas
Officials and attendants Of the mosques,)
who demanded last week that the Sultan
should cease to be Caliph, that is, spiri-
tual head Of the Mohammedans. The
boldness of this request appears to have
rendered him powerless TO resist further
concessions. The change is regarded with
comparative favor in Europe. II is I'M
derstood that the new Sultan will intro
duce reforms. Order is maintained at
Constantinople,
Advices from Panama to the 2lst inst,
state that preliminary treaty of peace
was concluded between Guatemala and
Salvador on the 18th of April. The treaty
stipulates that the President aud Vice
President of Salvador shall abdicate, and
new President and other State officers
be elected within a month Nicaragua
was preparing for invasion. y Returns
of the election in Peru show that General
Prado is the almost unanimous choice for
President. In Chill the election for mu-
nicipal councillors in Valparaiso and San
tiago were attended with riot and blood
shed. They showed small mojority for
the Government.
The steamship Gaelic, from China and
japan, arrived at San Francisco Monday,
Fifteen cities were in open rebellion in
the Chinese province Of Hupoh, and the
Western army had been compelled by
repeated disasters to call for assistance.
The Prince of Wales is confined to his
home by an inflammation of the veins of
the leg; rumors on the Stock Exchange
Saturday were to the effect that the attack
is more serious than the announcement
indicated.
The King of Greece and the Crown
Prince Of Denmark are i'll at Copenhagen,
supposed to be from fever contracted at
Rome.
It is said that Prince Arthur will shortly
marry one of thedaughters of the ex- King
of Hanover.

Destructive Fire in Quebec.

A disastrous conAagration broke out in
the ST. Louis suburb Of Quebec on Tues
day afternoon, when, for some reason, the
water was turned of from that district.
The fire continued to rage until, at ten
o'clock at night, it was estimated that one
thousand houses had been destroyed. A
high wind was blowing most Of the time.
At ten o'clock the fire still burned fiercely,
but was somewhat under control" the
wind having moderated, and water become
plentiful. The fire, which started in Scott
street, passed through the centre of the
st. Louis suburb, from the western to the
eastern limit, facing the Notifications, then
southerly to the Grand Alice, and norther-
ly to the third street south of St. John
street. As none of the buildings we're
valuable, the loss is estimated at little
more than 100000, The fields around
the burned district were covered with
goods of all descriptions, and hundreds of
poor people were obliged to remain in the
open air. Later accounts state several
children were burned up, and the number
Of houses destroyed is put at 700.

Pagan Rites.

The funeral of Baron de Palm, accord
ing to ancient Egyptian rites, took place
from the Masonic Temple in New York
Sunday afternoon. The ceremonies were
conducted by the Philosophical Society, {"
Of which De Palm was a member. Col
Olcott was master Of ceremonies, and he
was assisted by six others clad in long
black robes, who made responses to certain
questions "from an ancient Egyptian
liturgy" The questions and responses
were interspersed with music. There were
seven lights on the coffin, arranged as a
triangle; aserpent twisted around wooden
frame stood beside the coffin, and incense
was burned. The musical portion of the
programme was eurtailed by the action of
an old gentleman, who, not liking the
notions expressed iu the ritual, ordered
his daughter to quit the organ. Iu place
of,a sermon, Colonel 0leott delivered
long address on "Theosophism." After
the ceremonies the body was removed to a
vault in the Lutheran Cemetery, and will.
it is said, be crematcd, if permission be
given by the authorities.

Indian Depredations.

Numerous murders by Indians of min
ers in the Black Hills are reported Such
a result has all along been feared. The
white men there are trespassers they
went after receiving fair warning from the
Government that in so doing they placed
themselves outside of its protection. But
while the United States cannot with pro-
priety undertake to protect the miners in
their trespass, the object will probably be
attained indirectly by means Of military
expeditions against the hostile Sioux.
Captain Nickerson, aid to Gen. Crook,
telegraphs from Fort Fetterman Monday
that all the young warriors had left Red
Cloud to join Sitting Bull, leaving their
families to be protected at the agencies.
1t is believed that the military will have
to contend against the whole force Of the
Sioux. Gen. Crooks command left Fort
Fetterman yesterday morning. Captain
Egan returned to Fort Laramie Yesterday
after securing the country to Custer over
a Unveiled road and returning by the
agency road. He found 900 Indians at
lacking an ox-train on Sage Creek, and
drove them off He says that fully 1000
young warriors have left two agencies.
A citizen who arrived at Omaha Monday
from Custer City reports that on the night
of the 18th ult. that place was attacked
by Indians. They set fire to the ammu.
milton house in the centre of the town,
which blew up and destroyed several
houses. The informant's party left Custer
the next morning, and he can give no
further particulars. Additional murders
and robberies by Indians in that region
are reported. Among the bodies found
was that of T. p. Hermann, of Carlisle
Pa, which has been forwarded to his
home. Twenty-four out of one party of
Black Hills miners were killed and scaiped
A despatch received at Cincinnati from
Lincoln, Neb., states that Captain Stones

attacked by the Indians at a point about
tifty-nine miles from Red Cloud, and
forty-nine men were killed. 1t is stated
that nearly all the Indians have left the
Agency.

The NATIONAL NOMINATING Con-
vEsrIoNs.-These bodies will have 1866
votes each. In the Democratic Conyen-
ton the two-thirds rule makes it necessary
for the nominee to receive 504 votes to
252 for all others. In the Republican
Convention the majority viii determine
who is the nominee, which is but 1873
votes. It will thus be seen that it is a
much easier matter to effect nomination
in the Republican Convention than in the
Democratic. When the Democratic Con-
vention meets at St. Louis, the first thing
il ought to do is to repeal that obnoxious
.wo-thirds rule, which has killed Of all
the popular favorites in the party from
the time Of its adoption until now, and
unless repealed is likely to do a similar
disseryice for the party at St. Louis.

We CLEAN the following from the Ball.
more Amsrican, of Monday, promising
that that Journal is hardly considered ca.
nonical authority in matters pertaining to
Democratic politics.
During the last few weeks there has been,
It is stated, considerable wrangling among the
managers IN the city and State. Hon. Viii
liam Pinkney Whyte Is reported TO have cut
loose from Mr.. Arthur German, Mr.. Michael
Bannon and company, and is using his inaa-
ence for reconciliation and harmony
whatever that may mean--in the Democratic
party.
In reference to the prospective nominations
Of candidates for Congress this fall, the opiR-
ion was expressed that Ex-Governor Philip
Frank Thomas would be renominated in the
First district
In the Second district there would be some
opposition to the denomination of Mr.. Roberts,
as Hon. Stevenson Archers f.;ends are anx.
ions 70 see him again in the House Of Repre-
sentatives, but the chances were all in favor
OF the denomination Of Mr.. Roberts.
In the Third district the present Represen-
tatiye, Hon. w. ]. O'Brien, is said to have
Nv chouco nuotcNcH tut the uOuiuhtlOu hbAlu.
Messrs John NJ. Carter, x.Mayor Yansant,
Colonel VIM. Kimmell, Major William E,
Stewart and FetteyS. Hoblitzel are in the
field for the nomination. The Ring some.
time since, i is said, promised the nomina.
ton to Mr.. Vansant, but it is now thought
they cannot fill the contract.
II is denied that Hon. Thomas Swami will
have any opposition in his own party in the
Fourth district. Mr. McLane, who was ex.
pected to have been his competitor for the
nomination, will not be candidate, and Mr..
H. Clay Dallam, according to rumor, has
also gotten out of the way, leaving Mr.. Swami
an open track SO far as the Democratic party
is concerned.
In the Fifth and Sixth districts, in accor.
dance with what is called ''party usage" the
present members Of the House Of Represen
tatiyes, Messrs. Henkle and Walsh, will, It'll:
thought, both be renominated,
The friends of Mr.. Archer deny the
above statement in reference to their op.
position to the denomination of Mr.. Ro-
berts. On the contrary the district will
support him with great unanimity,
