England's Plans.

The London Times of May Both re-
turns to the subject Of British protector
ate over Asiatic Turkey, and says the con-
stitutional ministry is but dream. There
must be some central force to control the
shifting elements Of personal will or caprice,
and urges that the Porte consent to accept
the same at the hands Of the British gov
ernment. A correspondent says there is
little doubt that England is determined to
exercise control In Turkey; not that the
authority OF the Sultans shall be interfered
with, but care will be taken that under the
new treaty reforms and good government
shall be inaugurated. Dispatches from st.
Petersburg Of the 3Oth indicated fears Of
hostilities at tConstantlnople. though no ap-
prehensions vere felt in London. Hints
were thrown out that the British should
make some concessions In proof OF their
pacific disposition. which explains the rea-
son Of delay In the negotiations. An i'm
preston is prevalent in Constantinople
that peace isinsured. Further troublef from
the Turks Is altogether improbable. 1t is
understood that England and Russia have
arrived at an understanding, subject to the
act Of Congress, which 1t is settled, will
meet. A Vienna dispatch reports that the

Murdered by Harsh Words.

The Providence Journal says: "a
curious and painful case occurred at
New Bedford, Mass, Thursday, which
may raise the question whether man
slaughter may not be caused by threat
and demonstration of violence, and the
consequent effect of fear on feeble
constitution, as well as by actual bodily
harm. AS to the moral guilt of the
criminal there can be no doubt. One
Frederick Jenney, a middle-aged man,
addicted toliquor, had been maltreating
and abusing his wife until she had been
compelled to ask the interference of
tho police. She was in feeble health,
and her mother, woman of nervous
temperament and seventy years of age,
was in attendance upon her. Thursday
evening Jenney came into the house
and addressed the old lady in such abu-
sive and threatening language that she
left the house and fled to neighbours
for protection. She returned at later
hour in the hope of attending upon her
daughter unmolested, but the man at
tackled heragain so wickedly with threats
that, although neighbor was with her
as protector, she was seized with O
tremor Of terror, and in a short time
fell to the floor dead, her thread Of life
having been undoubtedly snapped by
fear and excitement. The violentb brute

THE MARKETS.
WEEKLY GRAIN REVIEW.

We are indebted to Messrs. Powers,
Lynde & Wright, of Kansas City, for the fol-
lowing reliable review of the grain trade:
Wheat-The peaceful feeling that has lat
terly arisen between Russia and England,
seems to have exerted marked influence
in tho value OF breadstuffs In foreign mar
kets, and necessarily in our own. Coming
at time when the growing crops in both
Europe and this country promise bountful
harvests, when English granaries are well
supplied, and Russia and America have
large reserves yet to 90 forward, it has re-
lieved the tension Of Overstrained markets
due to war excitement, and occasioned a re-
action that has not yet settled to any estab-
lished basis. Already from the previous
week decline of 4c to sc In spring wheat,
and SC to lOc In winter wheat, has been
quoted in our markets In full sympathy
with lower foreign markets. Shipments to
interior markets and the seaboard have in
creased with the fear of still further depre-
citation, more than meeting the demands of
buyers. Millers are buying sparingly from
day TO day, and will add nothing to present
stocks till their large accumulated supplies
Of flour will have been called for.
Coma week ago this cereal had reached
price not known before for years and the
er without stopping country deliveries
We have to note, however. still more SER
ious reduction OF &c to 4c abushel, bringing
the range of values lower than has been re-
ported in the past ten years. We have also
to report the largest receipts at interior
points chronicled within year.
Rye-Large purchases Of this grain for
foreign account have tended to maintain
values fairly. though the decline of other
cereals has affected rye and quotations are
2@Sc lower with active trading.
Oats-Large receipts of oats, with less
demand on foreign account have depress-
ed this market also, and quotations show
the same generalweakness of other markets. |
Freights-Lake freights continue low
l24c bushel of corn from Chicago to But-
falo, and contracts have been made at even |
less figures. Rail freights are firm and un-
changed.

A recent English writer says in re-
gard to Russia that there is no third es-
tate. There have been palace revolu-
tions and outbreaks Of peasants, but the
latter have either been against the no.
bles or in favor of some pretender to
the throne. 1 was in the country q
short time after the emancipation of
the serfs. The smaller nobles-a vast
class-were agitating against the Gov
ernment. I was talking one day with
the Grand Duke Of Constantine, a very
intelligent man, about this. "My broth
err" he said, would only have to raise
his finger for the peasants to sweep these
gentry out of existence" This is no ex-
aggeration. Russia, people in England
never will understand, is q sort of Com
munistic autocracy. The peasants re-
gard the Emperor as their protector
against the injustices of landlords and
officials. They would consider Parlia-
mentary representation as design to
strengthen those whom they view as
their natural enemies against their re-
preventative, the Emperor.
