The COMING war ON Hayes.

Washington special to the New York Herald
In calling the extra session so
soon instead of deferriDg it until the
new fiscal year has begun, or, say
until August or September, the Pres
ident is likened to the Swiss peasant
in the gorge of the Alps who insisted
on whistling, and thereby brought
down upon himself the Dire AIDED ava
lanche. The widest predictions are
made as to the course which the
anti-Administratio Republicans will
take. 1t is even said that they will
90 so far as to indorse a resolution
questioning the Presidents title, and
that they will give what help they
can to facilitate proceedings under a
writ of quo l0arrGntO should Mr.. Til
den choose to revive aud try the is
sue in that shape. Report has it
that another conspicuous and infu-
entail Senator has thrown down the
gauntlet to the President, and will
range himself with Senator Blaine 10
the expected battle on the floor of
the Senate. On the other hand,
Mr.. Hayes is assured that for every
detection of this kind on account of
his policy toward the South he gains
five adherents from among conserVa-
tive Democrats.

A Terribly Calamity.

Tbs Lee County Sentinel says:
"the family of the late DR.. J. I.
Lloyd, who have within the last year
been so sorely scourged by the death
Of two members of the family, have
again been called upon to taste the
bitter cup of affection and disap-
pointment. About twelve days ago
Mrs. Lloyd and her daughter, Miss
Lollie, were both taken i'll of ty-
phoid fever, and on Sunday Miss
Lollie died. In a short time, pro-
badly an hour after the death, all
was quiet. and the preparation of
the corpse was being made, some
one passed out of the house was
confronted with horror and amase-
ment to find that the building was
on fire In a moment all was con-
fusion and excitement; the mad
flames were furiously leaping from
the roof high up into the air, from
near the center Of the building, and
no time could be lost in making es-
cape, as a moments delay would be
most perilous. The alarm was
given, and those who we're present
nearly all of whom were ladies ex-
ercised great presence of mind by
first rushing through the several
rooms and arousing the weary
sleepers. Mrs. Lloyd was very low
and was delirious, and when she
was removed from her bed, she
would not agree to quit the place,
but tore away and got into another
bed, and had TO be forcibly removed
and placed upon bed in the road
in front of the house. There was
now only a moment left in which to
remove the corpse, and as quickly as
possible in the confusion of the mo-
ment, the almost freDzied specta-
tors rushed into the flaming building
and with difficulty barely escaped
bearing the corpse.
The CONSERVATION, so suddenly
added to the great grief of the hour,
is said to have been the most heart
rendering and pitiable scene known
in the history of our county.
The fire, which seemed TO have
originated in a store room at the end
of the hall on the first floor, had
made its way up the ceiling to the
roof, and as soon as the roof had
been broken by it, the flames spread
with incredible speed. and only a
few moments after its discovery the
whole building was a mass of flame.
The house was well furnished, but
nothing was saved except two beds
upon which the sick mother and de-
ceased daughter were carried. The
loss will amount to some "a, 900 we
presume, and was totally uninsur-
ed"

What is the Protocol 2

Our readers may be familiar with
the protocol which Turkey refused
to sign, and which is made the imme-
date pretext for beginning war, but
if they are not the following from
the Philadelphia Press gives it in a
nutshell:
What is the protocol? There has
been a world of writing of diplomacy
OF intrigue, and of speculation about
it, yet no one newspaper reader out
of hundred seems EXACTLY TO un-
derstand what it is, though it has
been accepted and signed by Aus
tria, Germany, Great Britton, France
Italy and Russia. 1t is document,
at once brief and clear, in which the
the above powers state what they
think of the Eastern question-alias,
what ought to be done with Turkey
under existing circumstances. 1t
affirms that the Sultan shall make
peace with his semi-independent
Province OF Montenegro, by consent
ing to a rectifcation of its frontier
and the free navigation ofthe Bojana;
footing, and should proceed, with as
little delay as possible, to carry in
to effect the governmental reforms
promised by the new constitution of
last December necessary for restor-
ing tranquility to Bosnia, Herzegovi
ma, and Bulgaria, and for making
religious federation fact and not a
mere name. This is all.
The powers do not pretend by this
protocol to coerce Turkey if the re-
forms are not carried out largely and
honestly. The protocol is, in fact,
only a recorded opinion. and the mo-
ment it was signed a written declara-
tion was handed in by Lord Derby,
declaring that if Turkey and Russia
did not both disarm the protocol
would be null; and another from
Court Schouvalof. asserting that if
peace were made with Montenegro,
and If Turkey set about reforms in
earnest, and if the Porte sent an
embassy to St. Petersburg to treat
of disarmament, the Gear would con-
sent to that measure. But, up to
the present time, Turkey refuses to
disarm unless Russia, taking the
initiative. unmobilizes her army, re-.
fuses to make any satisfactory ar
rangement with Montenegro, and,
above all. positively declines to send
an Ambassador to st. Petersburg to
treat of peace and disarmament, and
the silly pretext that to do so would
be regarded throughout the Sultan's
dominions as sort of submission
and acknowledgement Of inferiority
to the Gear.

deep loss sustained, not only by our
selves as individuals, but as a Church, in

faithful and useful vcstryman.
Deprived, by death, OF the presence

and a warm-hearted, generous frend;
and in justice to that memory we bear
record to his many beneiactions be-
slowed upon the Church of the Redeem
err, and, that his good deeds may live
after him, we think il but right that a
page OF our records should be devoted
to his obituary.

care of the Great Father above, the God
of the widow and the fatherless, we ten
der to her copy of this humble tribute
to the many virtues Of her deceased hus
