Turkey, Tco Late, Attempts to Avert the Dis
es.rous Results That Will Follow War.

London, April 20.--The Vienna col
respondent telegraphs am informed
from Bucharest that Prince Charles has
received copy OF The Russian mani
festo, which CONTAINS the following
declaration
WHEREAS. Every endeavor by the
Emperor of Russia TO preserve peace
has failed, owing to the stubbornness
of the people, while the condition of
the Christians in the cast Is unim-
proved, their lives and property being
menaced. Therefore, Ills Majesty, in
the name of humanity and in the full
consciousness of his sovereign duties
as the natural protector of the Scla-
yonian in the east, has been compelled
to resolve on obtaining. by force of
arms, such guarantees for his dis
tressed fellow-believers on the Turk
ish side as appear absolutely neces-
sary fer the security of their future
welfare.
The document proceeds to state
that this armed Intervention is not
meant for the purpose of conquest,and
will end after securing the above
mentioned results.
A dispatch from Consiantinople con-
lirmiug the above in effect, adds that
the manifesto also declares that Rus
STA intends to occupy Bulgaria, aud
hold the province as Il material guar
aztec for the execution of reforms;
that she will invite other European
powers to take part in the occupation,
and finally that she disclaims any in
tention TO acquire territory perma-
nently.
Bucharest, April 20--In military
circles it IS generally believed that the
bulk of the Russian army, 10 avoid
crossing the river Sereth,in Molduria,
blythe Barbache bridge, and being sur
prised by the Turkish .lotilla on the
Danube, will go b. railroad from
| Ungheni to MarZetti, thence march
by the highroad through Forcesani
and Remodel to BanZco, and after
wards by different road diverging
from Bonzio towards Kalafat. Fiamen-
do. Mazurela, Guirgevy and Calarasis.
The Russian headquarters will prob.
ably be at Banzco, as they were IN
1856, or possibly at Pleosti.
London, April 20.--A Times special
from Athens says that Colonel Becker
the Seryian leader. is attempting &c
bring on hostilities with Turkey, but
public feeling is against him.
A dispatch from Odessa reports that
an early bombardment of that port is
expected. The custom authorities
have warned merchants having goods
in the custom house to remove them
as it is TO be closed temporarily.
Paris, April 20.-The Memorial Dt
plomatique says active negotiations
have been opened between the person
ages surrounding the Sultan and Gen
eral Ignatiefs, confidential agent al
Constantinople. Mahomed Dumatl
and Ralf Pashas are endeavoring &c
effect diplomatic arrangement will

London, April pa Constantine

at the prospect of an imminent war
and would gladly listen to PROPOSE
tons for pacific arrangement, If it il
not too late.

TIE "ARG0NAUT y
THREATENS TO PUBLISH SOME VERY START
LING DOCUMENTS TO THE WORLD,
Relating TO Resolutions in the Next Congress
By Senator Blaine to Gust the President.

The SaE Francisco Argoaaet, Frank
Pixley's new weekly, published the
following on the 2lst inst:
I'VE understand from source
which we believe to be thoroughly
reliable, that there is now in the pos
session of Senator of tho United
States, at present in the city, paper
of the utmost political Importance
TO the country, and one that, if all
that is said about it be true, will
create such sensation as the country
has not known since that of the cleo
toral tribunal. The paper is nothing
more or less than copy of "A set of
resolutions which it is the purpose of
James O.. Blaine TO introduce III the
Senate at the meeting of Congress III
June. setting forth that there exists
grave doubts in the minds of large
proportion Of Americans as to the le-
galilv of the final settlement of the
Presidential question, which resulted
in the Inauguration OF Mr.. Hayes. 1t
goes on TO say that it is due TO the
American people, and particularly to
the millions who, while believing that
he had been fairly defeated, yet ac-
cepted the decision in his favor ia
good faith, to submit the question to
the iiual arbitration of the highest tri-
bunal known TO the constitution-the
Supreme Court of the United States.
That inasmuch as the propriety of
such proceedings may be held to be a
matter of doubt, because of the fact
that five members of that court were
members of the late tribunal. therefore
the resolutions propose grand court
of arbitration, created especially 10
consider all questions that may be
brought before it relating TO the legal
ity of Mr.. Hayes tenure, whether in
the nature of Il quo acdrrdnto or 9TH
erwise that said court be composed
of the Chief Justices of the Supreme
Courts of each State (thirty-eight
judges in alD; that the portion of the
resolutions which proposes this court
takes the form of bill, to which is
added provision that any person
other than the defeated candidate may
bring action to dispossess the present
incumbent"

Statistics of the Eastern Question.

Baron Henry de Worms has annexed
to the fifth edition of his work, Eng
lands policy to The East" which is
just published, two interesting tables.
The first gives the population, trade,
financial, military and naval resources
of each power concerned in the east
ern question. This presents at glance
the religious creeds and number OF
each of the nationalities in the Turk
ish Empire. Besides the millions of
Inhabitants in Russia CSC, 566, 000), Tur-
key (2S, SOC, 000), Austria Hungary (35,-
904, 435), etc, Montenegro looks
strangely Insignificant with popula-
ton of 200, about equal in number
to q third-rate English town. The
revenue of this little State is put f25,-
900, and its fighting capacity is $4,000
men, which is equivalent to saying
that all male Montenegrins of full age
are soldiers. The Russian debt is re-
turned at f301 ,000, 600; the Turkish at
GOO, 100000. The total Russian army
is 1,7S9,75l men, the Turkish, 629,736;
the German, 1,248, 1854, the French, l.,
1885; the Austrian, 64,025: the
Italian, 81, S71; the English, 655, sos.
But of our force only 1884 are regu-
lars, and of these 62,849 are india, and
2l,172 in the colonies. In the other
armies the proportion is about half ac-
tive and half reserve forces, but Tur-
key has, like England, dispropor-
tionate number of irregular and local
troops out Of her total force-namely,
AIS, $50 lrregulars, and 154, $40 regulars.
1t appears from Baron dc Worms sec
ond table that in the whole Ottoman
Empire, including now the tributary
States, there are 100000 Turks, l.
100000 Arabs, 100000 Turcomans, Tar
tars and Gypsies, 5,123,000 Roumans,
100000 Greeks, 3,027 .06S Servians,
and 100000 Bulgarians; that 100000
of the Servians aud 100000 of the Bull
garians profes the Mahomedan relig-
ion. There are $4,000 Servian Roman
Catholics, and 100000 Albanians of
the same faith. With the tributaries,
the total population OF Turkey is 3D.
092, 078, but 10, 100000 Nubians, 5000,
600 Egyptians, as well as Servians, etc,

Tho Confession Of Twssd.

John Kelly, Comptroller of New
York, who has seen the confession of
Tweed, as prepared for and presented
to Attorney General Fairchild, says
the publication the other day was
correct abstract, so far as it goes, with
the exception of the reference to Judge
Folger. Mr.. Kelly adds: 1.-The con-
fession stated that Tweed gave $780,
900 to Winslow, in 1871, to be used for
procuring the passage of charter;
that Winslow afterwards told him that
this money was divided between the
persons named. Tweed also says he
paid various amounts to Wood, Frost,
Morgan, Blood, Bemis, and the others
mentioned-these sums, understand,
being exclusive of the 100000 named
above. In the assembly of 1871, he
says he paid various amounts to VIM.
Murphy, William G. Jones, James E.
Nevin, and other members of the
house whose names are given i'll the
document. The names OF between
two and three hundred persons to
whom he says he paid money for cor
rdpt purposes, are given III the con-
fession. They embrace the names of
prominent persons of both political
parties in this city and i'll the State
many of them not heretofore suspect
ed of completely in the fraud. The
confession will enable the corporation
counsel, who is now bringing suits
against the city, to successfully resist
the payment of several claims founded
upon transactions of the broken Tam
many ring, which amount to defend
ing two millions and half and three
million dollars-one half that amount
was received by suits against Tweed.
Tweed proposes to return everything
he holds; but it apparently amounts
to comparatively little. He says his
property, which consists almost en-
tirely of real estate, has almost disap-
peared by fees to lawyers, expenses of
his long imprisonment and escape, and !
the depreciation of real estate. He |
says he transferred large part of his |
property 10 his sons, to enable them |
to go on his bond, but that they sub |
sequently sold it in his behalf, to pay |
the expenses enumerated-much of it |
at one-third of its value. He gives a
detailed list OF what he now has, in
Guiding his Lake Mahopac property |
aud special lots-in Brooklyn. The es-
tate OH the sound, he says, was bought

name, and over il he has no control.

Twelve Oil Wells in Flames.


A special from Petrolia, Butler conn-
ty, Pennsylvania, says that on Thurs
day afternoon, the 10th inst, a heavy
storm passed over that station, and
about $50 the lightning struck large
tank on the Trautman firm, which
contained $4,000 barrels Of oil. The
was torn to pieces, and the burning
oil set fire to two other large tanks.
One containing $4,000 barrels was de-
stroyed; the other was extinguished
by steam. The burning oil run down
the creek mile, destroying every
thing in its course. II was checked by
the Ralston dam, which was large
enough to hold it and stay further
damage. Twelve oil wells, with tanks
at the wells, were destroyed. The
town of Trautman, consisting of a
hotel, two livery stables, q billiard
room and dwelling houses, was de
stroyed. The 1900 barrels of oil
burned belong TO the United Pipe Line,
aud viii be paid for by pro rata assess
ments By that line. The loss in the
town of Trautman is estimated al
$4,000. The loss of the twelve oil
mells is unknown.

Following the same policy i'll Loui-

Yesterday and the colored people

While the Republicans of the north

blow. Tired of confinement, sick at

Ths Extra Session Of Congress.

There appears TO be no longer any
doubt of an extra session of Congress
at early day. Secretary Sherman tel
eoraphed TO Senator j. j. Ingalls, last
week that Congress would be con
veued by the 4th of June, if not SOON
er. Whether HAYES will be able to or
ganize the House is a mooted cues
ton. 1t seems he has done enough for
the South to at least get some sup
mort from that section.

A Mixed Excursion to the Rockies.

1t seems that the editorial associa-
ton of Kansas had determined upon
an excursion This summer. The mem
bers of the late Legislature determined
the same thing. 1t is now proposed
to combine the two and make one
party. Against this proposed mix
ture of brains and huncombe we pro-
test. If the members of the late Leg
Islature fear that they and their spree
will never be heard from, let them
hire some penny-a-lincrs to write
them up, but this idea of prostituting
the entire brains of the State to such
q thin purpose won't go down. Let
us hold intact what little reputation
we have left, as profession, at least
not throw it away in such cheap
outfit as the last Legislature, the
brainy portion of which excurted after
adjournment.

ED. EAGLE:-I have been taking a
trip over the country west of the Cow
skin, and must say | was highly de-
lighted with the prospect of wheat,
and the beautiful country, wheat fields
as far as the eye could see-scme whole
quarter sections. took pains to ex-
anime several pieces, but never saw a
grasshopper. In Garden Plains town.
ship there are $500 acres of wheat and
of the incest kind, and that be it con-
sidered is very young township.
Now AIR. Editor, take trip to the
Ninnescah, go and see the beautiful
location Of W. 3. Hutchinson just
across the river, which he calls Red
bank, and then drive down TO our Rep
resen;ative, VIM. Ross. home. You
will feel satisfied with Kansas-nearly
every quarter section settled upon and
peach orchards all in bloom, aud Ross
with his home nestled among the TIM
Der, land hedged off in twenty-acre
lots. just look at his stock land luails
SO tame they roost OH his chicken coop.
(Of course his shot guns hang in the
house.) Plum orchards white as snow
with blossoms. Itell you the scenery
is beautiful around his Riverside farm
and it does one so much good to travel
over the country and see the beauty
there is in Kansas.
Many have done planting corn in
this locality, and our wheat is looking
fine. The best way for us is TO go
straight ahead, put in crops and never
fear the hoppers. S. KING.
