| A ST. PETERsBURGH dispatch says the
terms of the Russo-English arrangement
are said 10 besmore satisfactory than eX-
pected. Great confidence is felt i'm the
result of the congress. The most serious
difficulty for the moment is Austria's OBJ
lection to the cessions of Antivari TO
Montenegro.
TIE House refused to take up the
private calender and proceeded with
the deficieniy appropriation bill. This
indicates determination to force an
Adjournment by the 18th. 1t is not
believed, however, that it will be posi-
BILE to do so. Public and private calen-
dars are loaded down with bills, all of
which Congress have go over next ses-
sion again, if dropped now.
IT Is understood that Senator Wallace
has prepared a joint resolution, tn be SUBJ
rntted to both houses of Congress, pro-
viding for a commission, TO consist of a
member from each house, one practical
farmer. one practical manufacturer, and
one experienced merchant, which com
mittee shall inquire into the operation
and effect of the present revenue law and
tariff on the public revenue and the
| trade of the country.
HARD times have struck the Washing
ton City hotels. Wizards closed OH
Friday of last week. The METROPOLITAN
OH Saturday. The SeatOn House, another
large hotel, is without a tenant. The
same reason can not be given that New
York paper gave tor closing the Women's
Hotel, because they chad no bar" for |
in each one of them enough Tom and
Jerry and hot Scotch We're swallowed !
every year, to float the Great Eastern.
REPORTS from Mexico indicate that |
General EscObedO. the leader of the Ler-
doists. has larger force than was at frs:
supposed. The men under his immetli- |
ate command are sail TO be armed with |
Remington rifles, and TO be we'll suppli- |
ed with ammunition and supplies, Esco-
bedo has issued manifesto. so moderate |
in tone as to surprise the Mexicaus, and |
his policy seems to be to act on the de-
fcnsive, and exert all possible influence

FORTY years ago, on the occasion OF
the death of Mr.. Mcdonald, Chief Clerk |
of the United States Senate, Daniel Web
ster introduced a resolution making an
appropriation Tor burial expenses, etc.
Thursdayof last week an exact copy of
that resolution was introduced by Sena-
tor Anthony. making similar aprropri-
alton for the burial of Major Mcdonald.

and who for forty years has been faith
full officer OF the Senate.
TIE International Union of Printers
has put OH record a resolution against
any ism calculated to interfere with the !
friendly relations between employers and
.iourieymen.' Ii the sentiment of most |
trades unions were expressed, it is prob
able that they would be similar to the |
above. 1t is not the skilled orker. nor |
the man who lives to work and works to |
save, who cares to identify himself with |
conspiracies which are intended to revO- |
lulionze society by making, by violence,
the poor rich aud the rich poor.
UNDER the constitution of the German
Empire adopted April l6, 1871, the SUI
preme direction of the military and po-
litical affairs is vested in the King of
Prussia. In case of the death of the |
Emperor William, Prince Frederick Will

enzollern. which has so good a represen-
tative in the Emperor William, is too
firmly rooted in German affection for a
Rspublicans movement TO receive much
