FOREIGN ITEMS.

The German emperor's letter to Pope
Leo Kill, while extremely courteous in the
expression of a willingness to entertain
friendly relations with the vatican, gives no
indication of a basis for negotiations.
It is officially reported that two thou.

The Russians are completing the lines
of earthworks commenced by the Turks,
about fifteen miles from COnstantinopIe,
when the Grand Duke Nicholas came over
the Balkans and the city was threatened.
These works run from Chekmedje, near the
Sea OF AarmOra, across the country north to
Serkos, on the Black sea. The line is slightly
irregular, but forms a curve, crossing the
AdTianople railroad a few miles west of
Hadem-Koi, through Natosh and Bahama
kutch, and then turns northwest to Serkos
and Yeni-Koi. These Notifications were
intended by the Turks to form the final
barrier to the approach of the Russians, but
they began them too late, and, as they had
neglected to fortify the strategical points in
Roumelia, further west, their work was
HuitIess. The Russians are evidently pre-
pairing for possible British attack, Cor their
line of defense extends from the vicinity of
COnstantinOple to the Gulf of Salonica,
while troops are posted within striking dis
tance of the Bosporus. In the meantime
the entire remnant of the Turkish army is
camped about ConstantinOple, and fresh war
material has been ordered by the porte

Death of Wm. NJ. Tweed.

William M. Tweed died in Ludlow
street Jail at precisely II o'clock, on the
18th. He was attended by DR.. Carno-
chan, who was with him from an early
hour this morning; also, Foster Dewey,
his secretary; Mr.. Douglass, his SON in
law, and Mr.. ILdelstein, of his counsel
All hope of his recovery was abandoned
soon after eleven o'clock, when DIR.
Carnochan announced clogging of the
throat and complete nervous exhaustion.
At the time of his death there was no
struggle, and he passed away in sleep
with his head lying upon his arm. His
last words to DR.. Carnochan were: "I
have tried TO do some good; if 1 have
no. had good luck am not afraid to die;
1 believe the guardian angels will pro
tect me. "Mr. Tweed had been i'll for sew
eral davs, and his death resulted from d
complication of disorders, but was
caused directly by nervous exhaus-
ton and clogging of the action of the
heart. He was conscious up to a few
moments before his death.
Tweed, shortly before his death, said
to Mr.. Edelstein, a lawyer, something
with reference to the effect upon his
health and fortunes of his confinement in
Jail, and, mentioning some persons by
name, exclaimed: "They will be satisfied
now" No member O. his family was in
his room when he died, although his
daughter, Mrs. Douglass, was in an
adjoining apartment. His wife, his sons,
Richard and William M. ir., and other
relatives, near and remote, are in Europe,
where they have been for some months
His room was sumptuously furnished
but his meals had been brought to him
from the Jail. His beard was snow
white, and so was his hair. His face wa:
very thin, but the dimensions of hi
figure had not been perceptibly reduced
To reporter OF the Evening Post Mr.
Townsend said he had been told by Mr.
Edelstein that Tweed made the folloWinG
remark to him about twenty minute
before his death: % Tilden and Fairchild
/ guess they have killed me at last
have tried hard to do the pest 1 coulC
latterly, but they wouldn't let me
They will probably be satisfied when
am carried out of here to morrow"
