TURKEY

LONDON, juno IA special despatch from
Vienna to the Times says the united efforts OF
the Powers might still succeed in making
Sorvia respect an armistioe if one was conclud-
ed with the insurgents.
Prince GortsobakoG's recent telegram eau
tioniDg Prince Milan, Of Servia, seems to be
without effect.
A special despatch from Berlin to the Times
says the Latoh, the organ Of the Servian Cabinet,
declares war unavoidable now that the Turk
has trtumphed and the programme of the
Northern Powers been rejected.
The Official Russian Invalide says the insur.
gents are not likely to accept the armistice.
PARIS, June 7th.-There is no inten.
ton at present of oonvening q European
Congress. 1t is expected that the
Powers will consider themselves relieved of
further responsibility in consequence of the
granting of the armistioe by the Porte, and
will permit the Turks to deal with the iDsur-
gents if the latter refuse to accept the
armistioe.
CoNsTANTIHoPLE, June 7.-The official re.
port on the cause Of tho death of tho late
Sultan signed by nineteen physicians of all
natl0nalities, contain the following statement =
Upon being summoned by the Sultan to
ascertain the cause of death of Abdul-Aziz
Khan, we found the body lying on a mattress.
All parts of the body were cold and bloodless,
except that the outside was covered with
coagulated blood. The body was not rigid.
The eyes and mouth were partially open.
Limpid streaks of blood were upon the arms
and legs. The veins and cnbital artery below
the bend of the left arm were cut. Only the
small veins of the right arm we're cut ; the
arteries were intact. We were shown a pair
of very sharp and blood-stained scissors and
were told that Abdul-Aziz himself inflicted
the above described wounds Herewith.
We are unanimously of the opinion that
death resulted from hemorrhage of the vessels
of the arms, and the scissors might have pro-
duoed the wounds. Lastly, the direction and
nature of the wounds and the instrument which
is said to have produced them caused US to
come to the conclusion that the case is one of
suicide"
VIENNA, June Ill is said that the Russian
Ambassador has complained to the government

culture which has been carried on under favour
able circumstances, will determine the remune-
rative capabilities Of the plant.
Fair samples Of the Assam variety Of Tea

tanist says no plant in the Island grows with
more luxurianoe aud facility, and he can see no
reason why it could not be extensively grown,
For example, Jamaica has maintained her posi-
ton in the markets Of the world with regard to
Coffee, Notwithstanding the almost universal
competition. Many thousands of acres Of land
on the slopes Of the Blue Mountain range, that
could be obtainable for a few shillings an acre
are admirably adapted to this product, and this
land Is quite unsuited to Coffee culture, owing
to its being too humid,

PUBLIC INFORMER8 IN. ITALY.
Times Coryespondent.)

Among other official documents kept
in the archives of the Italian Ministry Of
the Interior is a :" LibYo Nero, " containing
an sr parte record, duly posted up, of all
that can be ascertajned to the discredit,
net only of the political but the social
careers of Senators, Deputies, and public
men in general. The discovery of this
BLACK Book by the present Ministers,
who had the pleasant satisfaction of read
ing their own biographies therein, written
by no 1atterer's pen, has created q great
scandal, given rise to an infinite number
Of comments in the daily papers, and
caused an angry debate in the Chamber of
Deputies. The debate followed upon the
Deputy Cavallotti i~nterrogating the Min
lister Of the Interior on the subject-an
interrogation which resulted both in es-
tabIishing the fact Of the existence of this
chr0nique Scandaleuse, and in showing that
the vivid description of it's contents which
had got about was neither exaggerated
nor Ov~er-coloured.
Signor Cavallotti was requested to
withdraw his interrogation. A high sem
timent Of d~elicacy and respect for the
National Representative Assembly, Sig
nor Nicotera said, prompted him in
begging the honorable Deputy not to
press the subject. At the same time he
was ready to say that SO far from its being
possible to look upon the documents in
question as State Papers, they were IN
absolute contradiction to the dispositions
Of the Statute. To this Signor Lama
who, it will be remembered, held the
portfolio of the Interior in the Admins
~tration of which he was also the head
took exception, and-had he desired to
second Signor Cavallotti's intention he
could not have done it better-drew from
Signor Nicotera q more explicit declara-
ton as to the character Of the records
kept. He was not of opinion that infa-
nous libels upon members of Parliament
could be called State Papers. He weuld
ask of the Honorable LAMA by force
of what law, by force of what regulation,
o Minister of the Interior could consider
himself authorized, not merely to receive,
but to seek for information regarding
members of Parliament. Would Signor
LAMA cite the example of any Statesman

ST LOUIS, June e2-Comparatively few
delegates to the Democratic National Conven-
ton have arrived yet and there is really nothing
to report directly touching the Struggle between
the aspirantS for nomination No state delega-
tons have yet arrived excepting that of Califor-
MIA, which arrived tonight and took quarters at
Barnums. Tomorrow others will arrive and
then the contest will begin. Augustus Schell,
chairman of The National Committee, arrived
this morning and is at the Lindell House.
Several other prominent New Workers are al
so.here, including Lieutenant Governor DORIS
heimer, Hon. John Kelley and two or three rel
atives of Gov Tilden. Hon. Montgomery
Blair, ex Senator Doolitle and a number Of
prominent gentlemen from Indiana, are among
those who arrived today. Gov. Hendricks head
quarters will be at the Southern Hotel, those of
Gov. Tilden at Lindel, and by Saturday live
ly scene will be enacted in each.
Most of the New Workers so far arrived are
opposed to Tilden and assert he is about the
least available man among the aspirants for
the nomination. They say he has lost strength
in New York and that he cannot carry the
state. while Hendricks, Bayard or almost any
other good man can.
The executive committee of the national
committee held meeting today. Nothing ex-
cept some routine business relating to prepara-
tions for the convention was transacted. The
merchants vacated their hall at the close
of change this noon. The room was given up
to the hall committee to put in order for the
convention. 1t will be conveniently arranged
and handsomely decorated for the occasion. Its
seating capacity including delegates, will be
about 5000. There will be accommodations for
$50 reporters at tables, and space for perhaps
so more will be provided, but without writing
facilities. The Geographic facilities of the
Western Union Co. will be equal to almost any
emergency. From % to 36 wires will be run

Discovery effect perfect cure that it seemed more
like magic and perfect wonder to myself and since
that time we have been without bottle of the
Discovery and Purgative Pellets in the house. They
are solid sound family physician in the house and
ready at all times to fly to the relief of sickness
without charge. We have never had a doctor in the
house since we first began the use Of your Pellets and
Discovery. 1 have recommended the use of these
medicines in several severe and complicated cases
arising FROM as 1 thought, an impure state of the
blood, and in no one case have they failed to more
than accomplish all they are claimed to do. will
only mention one remarkable, Though could give
you dozens) Henry Hester, furniture dealer, OF
this place. who one of the most pitiful objects
seen, his face swollen out of shape, scales and
eruptons without end, extending to his body, which
was completely covered with blotches and scales.
Nothing that he took seemed to affect 1t particle 1
finally induced him to try few bottles of the Golden
Medical Discovery, with daily use of the Pellets
surfing him 1t would surely cure him. He commenced
its some six weeks snce taking two Pellets each
night for week, then one each night, and the Dis
covery as directed The result is to-day his skin is
perfectly smooth, and the scaly eruptions gone.
He has taken some seven or eight bottles in ALL and
considers himself cured. This case had baf1ed the
skill Of our best physicians. Messrs. Dunsford Co.,

they give perfect satisfaction in every case.
