GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS.

Advices from the City Of Mexico state that
"the Mexican official organ has published
memorandum of Minister Foster, explaining
the intentions of the United States in issuing
orders to Gen. Ord. Perfect tranquility is re-
ported. Measures for bringing the border
question to satisfactory settlement are being
discussed"
The late news from Spain is that the failure
to subdue the insurrection in Cuba is mainly
due to corruption, incompetency and malad-
ministration on the part of Spanish officials,
but there are no indications that Spain has any
intention of abandoning the contest or that
she fears outsiders.
On account Of numerous accidents on the
overworked Roumanian railways, an agree
ment has been made by which the railways pay
1000 francs for every soldier killed, and 12,0OO
francs for every officer killed.

1t is asserted in England that Osman Pasha,

less a parsonage than the celebrated Marshal
Bazaine.
IL is officially announced that all the great
powers and Belgium Holland, Sweden and
Portugal have adhered to the German protest
against Turkish cruelties.
United States Minister Noyes and family
have arrived in Paris.
Already the famine in India has cost the
Government $40, 600, 900, and is adding to the

following platform

years, have failed TO legislate on behalf OF the
producing class and

city of Chicago and State of Illinois do hereby

dustrial classes of the Union, whether agri-
cultural, mechanical or commercial, and al
others who sympathize in our views, an imme-
date organization to promote the general well

action on the following principles and pur-
poses
/. That we demand the repeal Of the Re-
sumption act of Jan. ii, 1875 reconciliation
and free coinage of the silver dollar, and the
perpetuation of the treasury note for all dues
and demands.

TRADE AND INDUSTRY.

The Macon, Ga, refractory is turn
ing out 10000 pounds day, at a cent a
pound.
The striking coal-miners in Sangamon
county, ILL.,, have resumed work at the
old rates.
THE Buckeye Agricultural Machine
Shops at Akron, o., have closed for a
month or 30, being somewhat in advance
of work and the times.
THE Vicksburg Herald claims that
80, 900 industrious laborers could obtain
a comfortable subsistence from the SOIL
within easy distance OF that city. s
The grain receipts at Chicago are be-
coming enormous. In one day, recent
ly, nearly 1000 carloads were received
by rail, and over $4,000 bushels by
canal.
THE Pittsburgh Gazette says there is
no especial change in financial circles
in that city, but general tendency
toward increased activity, the approach
of which is very perceptible in the COM
munity. - Ef1f Ffe
JAY GOULD and Sidney Dillon offer to
build narrow-gauge railroad from the
Union Pacific at Cheyenne to the Black
hills if the local money men will put in
half the money, which one-half will be
about $75, 900.
INSPIRED by the reports of Western
crops, an eminent banker of New York,
and one of the most sagacious observers
and best-informed tinanciers of the coun-
try, predicts that within two years the
United States will be overhowing with
prosperity and wealth.
In some respects the strike on the
Baltimore and Ohio road was successful.
The road is now employing the same
number of men as before the strike, and
many favors are granted employees here
tofore denied. Nearly all the men are
now enabled to make full time.
THE widespread influence of dull trade
after unhealthy speculation is traceable
in the failure of several Lyons silk
houses, one with liabilities amounting to
81, 900, 900. The condition of the French
manufacturers has been rendered ex-
ceptionally precarious by the partial loss
of the American market, and the prefer
ence which has been for some time ac-
corded to woolen fabrics.
WE are doing q great deal of national
wailing over hard times, but compare
| lively we haven't sc, much to weep over.
In Southern India 10000, 900 of people
are threatened with starvation. Their
crops have failed for two years because
of drought, and it will be some months
before the growing crop will be avail
able for food. The British Government
is sending relief, but the job is a large
one and thousands are dying.
THERE is annually imported into the
United States from Italy, Sicily, Spain,
Portugal and other Mediterranean coun-
tries, 25,000,000 pounds of sumach,
which is used by all morocco manufact-
urers. 1t has just been demonstrated
that it can be cultivated with profit in
California, and in quantities large enough
to supply the home demand. Agricult-
ural societies sre circulating directions
for its culture and treatment.

Destruction of Seals.

1t is time that some restriction was
put upon the wasteful manner in which
the Greenland seal fishery is prosecuted.
If the work of destruction is tolerated
much longer it will not be many years
before this source of commercial revenue
will come to a close. A recent English
paper contains an account of the take of
four ships which secured $4,000 seals.
AS 20 per cent. may be added to the num-
Der of seals actually taken for those
mortally wounded and lost, and, as these
are breeding seals, each old one viii
leave young one to die of starvation,
the result will be that these four vessels
destroyed 213,000 seals. 1t can readily
be seen that at this rate the seal fishery
will soon come TO an end.

CURRENT EVENTS.

THE Georgia constitutional Conven-
ton has decided to give the Legislature
power to regulate freights and fares on
railroads.
BEFORE the end Of September more
than 7 ZOO men will be sent from Spain
to reinforce the useless army engaged in
the hopeless attempt TO reduce the in
surgent banditti of Cuba to submission
The Maryland State militia have all
been paid for their services during the
strike, men and officers receiving the
same rate of pay as in the regular army
Over 800, 900 was required to meet this
expense.
IT is said the real inventor of the pres
ent Russian war is Gen. Ignatieff, the
shrewd Ambassador who played so sue
cessfully against all the diplomats of
Europe. Gortschakoff is credited with
opposition to the war, and Ionatieff with
an ambition to succeed Gortschakotf as
Prime Minister.
INDIAN and other outrages are con-
stantly reported on the Texas frontier,
and the movements of Gen. Ord's troops
are watched and signaled to the Mexican
robbers by some of their confreres on
this side of the river. The Rio Grande
frontier has become name of terror,
and is now the grand eliminating point
of border ruffianism, both America and
Mexico furnishing their full quota of
rascals
THE East Indian famine is assuming
alarming proportions. 1t is now feared
that the entire country may suffer from
scarcity of food, owing to the dearth of
rain. In Madras and Mysore it is
deemed certain that the famine will con-
tinue with increased intensity for six
months longer. No doubt the royal
promise to do all that is possible to miti-
gate the terrible calamity will be carried
strictly into effect.
PEACE is concluded between Egypt
and Abyssinia, on terms which make the
miserable war between the Khedive and
King John a drawn battle. The I'D
frontiers are TO be restored, and the
Bogos country will be given to Egypt;
and, on the other hand, Abyssinla is to
be at liberty to have an agent at Masso-
wah, and to have free communication
with foreign countries, except that the
importation of powder and guns is linn
tied to fifty pounds of powder, ten guns
and 5000 caps-an arrangement not
likely to be long satisfactory TO warlike,
powder-loving Abyssinians. Col. Cor
don is not, however, yet free to begin his
often-postponed task of putting down
the slave trade in the Red sea, for an in
surrection has broken out in the prov
ince of Darfur, and he is busy suppress
ing it.
