BERLIN, June lit is stated in some
quarters that document. printed London
l4th inst, contains proposals submitted by
Russia and rejected by England; that their
publication was procured by the Russians
to prove they are not repugnant to English
public opinion and thus to limit the
concession English representatives may
demand in the congress. The congress
meets at 2 o'clock this afternoon.
LONDON, June II. 1t is believed the
questions which threaten the congress are
the cession of Antivari to Montenegro, the
position of Roumelia regarding Turkey,
and the administration and governmental
organization of Roumelia, Bessarabia will
be yielded to the personal wishes of the
Gar, and Roumania will accept the
Dobrudja in exchange, Territorial couces-
slons In Armenia will not meet with opposi-
tion from England. The question of war
indemnity will be settled by the appoint
ment OF comission to collect the Turkish
revenues and pay over a certain proper
ton to Russia annually, or to capitalize
such proportion by foreign loan and pay
the Russian claim in bulk In all these
speculations there is 10 account of possible

in his presence but could not be positive as
to that; did not know where Levissee. CT

second set of certificates and could not say
positively whether or not they signed
personally, but was Of the opinion that III e

DENVER. COL, April 10.-It is an
nounced here that H. A. Mcintyre,
president of the First National Bank
OF Colorado Springs, has absconded
with $4,000. The first disclosures
we're made quite recently, showing
that Mcintyre had in the interim
following the death of the late presi-
dent of the Bank of Colorado Springs,
and before the vacancy was supplied,
secured from deposits of the bank
between $4,000 and $4,000. In
addition to this he has hypotheca-
ted stock of the two banks with
which he was connected amounting
to $25, 900. It is feared the effect
upon the Lake City Bank will be ir-
reparable.

A Good Example Of Cheek.

Cheek? What, that's no name
for it. He was an itinerant vend-
er of lamp burners, this one, and
he generally gained his end
wherever he was permitted 10
enter house. Yesterday, while
travelling about the city, he
wandered into house in the
southern part of the town, where
sorrow evidently relgned. The
lamp man, finding the door open,
walked right in, and there found
a poor woman in tears, with a
friend or two trying to console
her for the loss of her husband,
who lay dead in the same room.
"Can l sell you my new pat
ent lamp burner, ma'am?' said
the vender.
"No, sir,' replied the woman,
between her sobs, 81 don't wish
anything of the kind"
"Please let me explain it's
beauties, ma'am," he said, "and
I'm sure you'll take one. You
see this"
"But l don't want it, SIR" she
said; II wish you would go
away. Don't you see my poor,
dear husband living here? Leave
me with my sorrow"
ooh, yes'm, | sympathize deep
Iy with you, ma'am Excuse me.
| can't keep back these tears.
Oh, ma'am, if you only knew
what a great consolation these
patent lamp burners of mine are,
on such occasions as these, you
would not be without one a
single minute. Why, ma'am put
one of these in his hand, and 1T
would light him through all the
darkness he has to pass through
without any trouble, and when
you come to die he could hold
the lamp for you when you go
to ascend the golden stairs?'
And the specious scoundrel
kept on in that strain until he
had sold half a dozen to every
female in the room. Cheek
Oh, no!-LoWsrihe Commercial.

Improvement and defense Of Northern

We have in passing upon the question OF
continuing pensions to Union soldiers or
granting pensions to Rebel veterans A
solid North in defense of interests so
menaced is but self-defence.
This power too has been acquired and
held in defiance Of the laws of the coun-
try. The fourteenth amendment to the
Constitution provides that if any class Of
voters be denied, or in any way abridged
in the right of suffrage that class shall
not be counted in the basis of represent
alton. 1t is matter Of common know
ledge that the Southern negro has not the
privilege of voting as he chooses, nor of
having his vote honestly counted when
given, that the political power belonging
TO him is seized and used by the Demo
cratic party. Mr. Blaine simply pro-
poses to inquire how far and in what man.
ner the Constitution and the laws have
been disregarded. The inquiry is proper
and necessary, and must be prosecuted ;
for, as Mr.. Blaine intimates, the people
of this country, though they may forget
or ignore the rights of the negro, will
never consent that white mans vote in
the South shall be twice as powerful in
the administration Of the Government u
q white mans vote in the North.

Tho Boston Herald sensihlu

The Boston Herald sensibly says,
speaking OF the clamor for retrenchment
in State expenditure made by some jour
nails in Maine "Somc Of the papers in
the State are indulging good deal in
talk about the reduction of expenditures
and the consequent lessening of taxes,
but we regret to believe there is very
little honest foundation for the complaints
which are made and the remedies suggest
ed. In those sections OF the State in
which taxation has been most onerous, it
will be found that it is the impositions of
the local authorities generally Endorsed
by those who are now growing, which
are chiefly responsible. Affairs in Maine,
we feel justified in saying, have been con-
Quoted very differently from the method
which has been followed in Massachusetts.
4 Governor with $500 a year, a Secre-
tary of State with $500, State Treas
urer with $4,000 and an Attorney-Gen-
eral with $1,000, cannot be called expen-
sive luxuries. Salaries will not bear much
reducing even by a reform Legislature, of
which so much is expected as Of the one
soon to meet. The chances for retrench-
ment will be sought and found elsewhere. "
