WASHINGTON, Oct. 15-Tho doublo.leaded
appeal that the Republican published this morn

attracted some attention here. mainly because

The principal reason FOR the statement is sup
po-ed TO be the letter written by Attorney Gen
cral Devens. which will shortly be sent to tho
District Attorneys Of Aabamn, Louisiana, and
South Carolina, directing them to enforce the
United States election laws. This letter was
written after such facts hud been laid before
the President as clearly proved that under tho
existing circumstances no fair election could be
held in those States. There was ample proof
that such was tho case before the President and
his Cabinet. and upon this the letiers 10 the
District Attorneys were based. The President
regards the enforcement of tho laws ~ having
no political aspect whatever, II Ia only the Ma;
tional Government performing a duty required

LATEST FOREIGN NEWS.
England.

LONDON, July 1.-The Mark-LHne E1-
press, in its review OF the British corn trade
for the past week. says: There is 4 de-
cided change for the better in the appear
ance of the growing corn, which Is now
in full bloom. At first sight the fields seem
to promise large crop. but in many fields
the ears are small. With tine exception OF
barley and oats, appearances at present
point to i fair average yield OF the cereals.
rs far as quantity is concerned, while the
quality is likely to be mediocre.
The insignificant supplies OF English
wheat OF Mark Lane and the provincial
markets indicate rapid depletion OF stocks
in the farmers hands, and that little or no
thing will be left over at harvcst-timc. The
imports Of foreign wheat into London have
been moderate Of late, but the supplies go
into the granary rather than into consump-
ton. A few small lots OF white wheat
have been taken off the stands for CONT
mental account-principally for Belgium
and the north OF France, where the crops
are unsatisfactory and the prices several
shiIlings higher than in London, but no
further sales OF cargoes off the coast have
taken place. Maize has not undergone
much change on spot, but new mixed Anne
rican, to arrive, was offered at 22s. Cd. q
22s. Cd. per quarter-a price hitherto I'M
known for this article. With liberal arri-
walls at ports OF call, the floating cargo trade
for wheat is dull, and prices declined fully
4 shilling per quarter. Maize and barley
have acceded fully Cd. per quarter.
Work OF the Congress.
LONDON, July with yesterdays ses-
sion OF the congress, the problems present
ed by the reorganization of Turkey in Eu-
rope have been solved with one difficult
eXccption-that OF the border provinces OF
Greece. II the course is followed in this
case which was followed in the considera-
ton OF the other portions OF the European
dominions Of the Porte, the solution would
seem to involve some change, releasing the
control Of the Ottoman Government over the
provinces; but the opposition OF the Sultan
to any such plan, and the difficulty OF get
ting Russia to consent to the extension OF
Greek influence beyond few districts close
to the Greek frontier may render impracti-
cable the scheme proposed by some OF the
members OF the congress, which, according
to 4 Berlin correspondent OF the Times, IS
TO offer to Greece some rights OF supervision
and control over West Roumelia-that is,
Thessaly, Macedonia, and Eplrus-as Aus
tria will be entrusted within Bosnia and
Herzegovina, and possibly in Northern Al
bania. By thus extending the influence OF
neighboring States over adjacent provinces
which have long given trouble the congress
might prevent recurrence OF recent events
and remove cause OF future wars.
