OTHER MATTERS. -
LONDON, May 22.-The Turks have de-
feated the Cretan Insurgents in several en-
counters. The British consul ut Canca has
proposed an armistice.
There is no truth in the report that the
Russian military authorities have forbidden
the Bessarabian deputies in the Roumanian
Parliament to attend the sittings OF Assem-
bly,.
Though Austria refuses to permit Mon
tenegro to acquire AntiYari, lest it become
virtually Russian port, she does not OBJ
iect to the acquisition OF Spczzia, which
will give the Montenegrins access to the sea.
The Austrian precautions in Transylva-
MIA are being FASTENED.
The Daily Telegraph says the relations
between Austria and Roumania have be-
come closer. Italso says Emperor William
has advised Prince Charles to yield Bessa-
rabia and abdicate il the Roumanians raised
difficulties, but the Prince has refused and
gone to the army. The German inter-
ference has given offence at Vienna.
General Manteutiel has arrived at Vienna.
1t is reported be is the bearer OF an auto
graph letter from Emperor William to En-
peror Francis Joseph.
[Note.-Whether there is any foundation
for these rumors or not, it seems certain that
the feeling in Austrian ministerial circles is
becoming distrustful OF successful issue,
and more and more anti-Russian.

yLVTH CONGRESS--Second Session
WASHINGTON, May %, 1878.


| A bill was reported in the Senate to-day
from the Committee on Indian Affairs au-
tboriZing the Eastern Band Of Cherokee
Indians to bring suit in the Court Of Claims
against the Cherokee Nation, and provides
tor judicial settling OF controversy that
has been pending since 1885. The claim is
for q Dro rata share Of the moneys arising
from the sale by the Western Nation of
! land and other property which the Eastern
Rand maintain belonged to the whole PEG.
Dle of the Cherokees. The Eastern Band is
authorized to employ one or more attorneys
by contract, subject to the approval OF the
Chief Justice OF the Conrt OF Claims, to
| prosecute the suit, and directs the Secre-
| tary of the Interior to pay the incidental
EXPENSES. The bill provides that the
limited States shall be made party to the
suit. and be represented by the Attorney
General.
| After the morning hour the regular order
! was laid aside, and Senator Lamar proceed
| ed to address the Senate in advocacy OF the
| Texas-Pacifc railroad, which he claimed
had done valuable, service in developing the
| country through which it passed. 1t was
already finished to the. length OF 40 miles,
leaving 1,400 miles to be completed; Tor
| which latter its friends asked the aid OF the
Government TO the extent OF q thlrty-tWo-
| million obligation, requiring the yearly eX-
penditure. OF two million and interest by
the United States. He argued that there
were no constitutional grounds against
the Governments affording aid in the con-
struction Of the road, and read letter OF
r. M. It. Hunter, of Virginia, who formerly
| opposcd the bill on constitutional grounds,
stating that he still retained these general
1 views, but in many respects they had heen
modified, by experience and the results OF
the war. Mr.. Lamar was satisfied that the
construction OF the TeXas-P Pacific railroad
would be the promptest and most efficient
means for, the development of southern
commerce and agriculture
u In conclusion, he appealed to senators
from the New England States especially to
support the measure as q work OF national
importance in the interest o. the whole
| American people. 1:,.s aa

that he desired to address the Senate upon
this bill, but was not prepared to do SO TO-
