| News has been received that a committee

| purpose to visit this city next October. For
| eign merchants here are inclined to under
| rate the efforts of Americans to supplant
| them. They claim that they can control
| sixty million out of the seventy-six million
| dollars of lmportations annually. The Ger
| mans are monopollzing the importing trade.
| They are charged by the English and French
| merchants with corruptly manipulating the
| customs service so as to enable them to I'M
| dersell all others.

THAT OUTRAGE EXPLAINED AWAY.
LONDON, July 22.-Layard, the British
ambassador at Constantinople, has received
information that when the Russian Circassians
fred upon the English man off, boat near
the Gulf of Saras, on the seventeenth instant,
that there was no officer near them, and also
that the English sailors who had been arrest
ed were released soon as they were brought
before an officer.
THE BRITISH LIBERALS WILL OPPOSE THAT
GOVERNMENTS POLICY ON THE EASTERN
QUESTION.
LONDON, July 22-Hon. w. E. Forster,
presiding at the Golden club dinner last
night, made speech on the eastern question:
taking the same general grounds against the
governments policy as Mr.. Gladstone. He
said that he and other liberals had hesltated
to challenge the government while the nego-
tiations were pending, lest strong opposition
might encourage Russia in her warlike atti-
tude, or a weak one encourage our own rulers;
but he declared that our liberal leaders are
now agreed that they will make their protest
and take the division, regardless of their
weakness or strength. They will give the
country an opportunity, by long debate and
thorough ventilation of the subject, to ma
turely consider whether or not it approves of
the governments acts.
UNSATISFACTORY NEWS FROM BOSNIA.
LONDON, July 22.-The latest news from
Bosnia is unsatisfactory. 1t is feared the
orthodox Savs and Mussulmans will forcibly
resist the Austrians. The Turkish author-
ties encourage demonstrations against the
occupation, and the negotiations at Berlin do
not progress. In my case 1t is thought that
bands of semi brgands in the Bosnian hills
will harrass the Austrians, whether organ
lied resistance is offered or not. With these
probabilities In view, the Austrian prepara-
tons are very elaborate, as the slightest
check might have disastrous moral conse-
quences.
THE DISSOLUTION OF THE BRITISH PARLIA-
MENT STILL TALKED OF.
LONDON, July 22.-Corresponderce of the
provincial Journals continues to be filed with
gossip about an early dissolution of parlia-
ment, to which is added the rumor that Lord
Lord Salisbury to succeed him in the pre-
miership. The predictions of the dissolution
of parliament and the retirement of Lord
Beaconsfeld are probably without the least
foundation. Gladstone seems to wish the
government to dissolve parliament, and thinks
it their duty to do so.
LONDON TIMES COMMENTS.
LONDON, July 22.-The Times, comment
ing on the Marquis of Harrington s resolution
no of loc
says: 1.-The liberals cannot be blind to the
fact that with the exception OF a small but
noisy faction, which clamored for war and
brought Turkey to the brink of ruin by the
folly of its counsels, the great mass of the
people are prepared to give sufficient if not
lin congress. If rashly encountered. the gov
eminent might be tempted to take ad
vantage of that popular favor, and
by the dissolution of parliament increase
the strength of the majority. The
Times also sharply criticises Gladstone
for assuming the right to arrange the liberal
campaign, which is the business of the party
leaders, and Gladstone says he is not one
of these. If, says the Times, he were bent
on completing the ruin of his party, he could
scarcely attain that purpose better than by
driving them into contest for which they
are at present unprepared. Referring to
Gladstone's personal authority in the country,
the entire nation is not to be restored IN any
instance nor can it be charmed back by the
most brilliant declamatory effects.
AUSTRIA KEEPING PEELED OPTIC ON
ITALY.
LONDON, July % "A reliable report from
Vienna declares that Austria has resolved to
take timely precautions against Italian ag-
erosion. 1t is reported that one hundred
Bashl-Bazouk raiders were killed In Dali
malta.
THE APPROACHING ELECTIONS IN GER
MANY.
BERLIN, July 22.-The approaching cleo
tons absorb public attention, and the can
vass is becoming bitterly personal and acri-
monious Apparently little confidence is felt
in ministerial circles that the government will
secure good working majority.
FRENCH LABOR TROUBLES.
PARIS, July 22.-The miners strike at
Anglers continues, the efforts to settle the diff
ferences having failed. There have been
generally quiet. Other labor troubles are re-
ported at Bordeaux, Marseilles and st. Etienne,
but they are of an Insignificant character.
A MOVEMENT TOWARD THE ANNEXATION OF
SOUTH TYROL TO ITALY.
ROME, July pa democratic meeting in
favor of the annexation of south Tyrol to
Italy was held to-day, twenty five hundred
persons were present. Menoti Garibaldi,
son of the general, presided. Letters and
kilograms expressing sympathy with the
movement from General Garibaldi, Signor
Soft Campanello and others were read, and
resolutions were adopted condemning the
violation by the congress of Berlin of the
principle of nationalities and popular
sovereignty :; affirming, the solidarity
of the, Italians with the people bought
and sold by the congress-; reminding Italy
that the Italian countries will still be subject
to foreign domination, and looking for speedy
Justice. The meeting was orderly, but some
what noisy. A demonstration was made in
the evening with shouts OF "Long live
Trieste!' The authorities posted troops
around the cars, and issued new summons
against the demonstrators. A similar meet
ing was held in Genoa.
The ministerial Journal the Diretto, dis
avows any connection of the government with
the present agitation for the annexation of
southern Tyrol. 1t declares that the govern
ment must respect the right of public meet
ing, but will know how to deal with the
movement if it passes beyond the field of free
discussion. The relations between Italy and
Austria are firmly established by treaties
Loyalty signed and accepted.
