RUSSIAN FINANCES.

The Novoe Vremya, in an article on
the financial resources of Russia, asserts
that, though they have been greatly
strained by the expenses of the late war,
they are still sufficient to bear the cost of
IAN energetic foreign policy" Animpor-
tant test of the prosperity of the masses in
Russia is, according to the writer, the
produce of the excise duty on spirituous
liquors. This was in 1877, 207, 1886, ,79S
roubles, being 199, 1853 roubles more than
in 1876. The receipts from the excise
duties on tobacco and sugar were also
larger in 1877 than in the previous year.
AS to the customs duties, the receipts
from the beginning of the year up to
the 4th of May amounted to 15,205, ,922
roubles, being 1885, ,576 roubles more
than in the same period of 1877. Fur.
ther, in January, 1873, 1881 versts Of
railways were open for traffic, and the
number of railway passengers exclusive
of soldiers) was 1858, ,25S, against / ,4l9,.
799 in January, 1877; while the weight
of the goods conveyed by railroad was
7s2,4s1 pounds against 451, 1862 in
January, 1870 by express trains, and
135, ,o96,O5 pounds against 119, ,s7S, 1893
in January, 1870 by luggage trains.
The receipts of the Russian railways,
too, amounted last January to 15,4l1,.
9SS roubles, being 81 per cent. more
] than in the previous year.

The Fraud Committee.

The principal point in the investigation
ON the 10th was the introduction before the
Committee, by Hon. Benz. F. Butler, of the
dispatch sent to Lieut.. Governor Young, by
Boulds A. Baker, Secretary of the Confer
ence of Southern Republicans and old-line
Wings, suggesting material for Mr.. Hayes
Cabinet. The dispatch was sent on Febru-
ary "a, 1877. Mr.. Butler is of opinion that
the present investigation will lead to start
ling developments. He remarked that
what has already come is but the SUBJ
stance that is coming. He said there would
be sensation enough come out of it to last
the newspapers all through the summer.
The dispa ch suggested the names of a mum.
Der of prominent Southern men for the
cabinet OF Mr.. Hayes, among whom were
Ex-United States Senator John Pool, of
North Carolina; Hon. John Hancock, of
Texas; Colonel r. T. Van Horn, of Missouri ;
General Joseph E. Johnston; Senator X ey,
Of Tennessee, and others-all regarded as
Southern Union men, or moderate secession
in the cabinent would harmonize the South.
Mr.. Cox could not see in what
connection this was competent tes.
timony before the Committee, and ex.
pressed himself as in condition of ardent
curiosity about the matter. Mr.. Butler
SAID: "And must leave you in that condi.
ton until can prove who Boulds Baker is
Mr.. Key, one of the men suggested. was an.
pointed by Mr.. Hayes, and one of the first
acts OF his administration was to appoint
Mr.. Boulds Baker to the best Office in his
gift"
Messrs. Reed and Lilley were brought for
ward as witnesses, and were finally directed
to appear tomorrow with the records. ac
ccounts, and the appointment and recon-
mendations of Boulds Baker as special
agent, and with like information as to
George A. Howard, formerly one of tbe
assistant secretaries to the Electoral Com
mission.

FOREIGN SUMMARY.

THE Russian army corps commenced ad-
vancing on Pitesti, and reached liter and
Gaeste. 1t entered some villages occupied
by Roumanian troops. The Roumanian
Government, fearing bloodshed, ordered
their troops to retire in the direction of
Pitesti and Tiregoresti. The Russian move
ment interrupts the communication of the
RoumaEian army with Bucharest. The
government intends to ask an explanation
of Russia, and if the answer is unsatisfac-
tory, it will address solemn protest to the
powers.
AT Berlin, on June Is, the flag of Ger
many was hoisted over the palace, betoken-
ing that Congress had opened. The first
days sitting was merely devoted to the
formalities of electing a President and
bureau. The Presidency was conferred
upon Prince Bismarck, at the suggestion of
Count Andrassy, who advocated this selec-
ton, not simply on the ground of tradi
tional custom, but for the eminent services
which Bismarck was on all sides acknowl.
edged to have rendered. Count Andrassy
also expressed the warmest hopes for the
recovery of the revered German Emperor

SOME experiments have been made at
Brussels in breaking down horses by
means of an electric bride. The appa-
ratus, called the Engstrom bride, after
its inventor, consists simply in couple
of reins, along which run electric wires.
At the end of the reins small electric
battery is attached, which is entirely in
the power of the experimenter. By
pressing on a little knob the electric
current acts on the corners of the horses
mouth and after a few consecutive or
intermittent shocks the animal becomes
perfectly docile. A very intractable
mare was broken in after one expert
ment with the bride. The inventor
asserts that runaway horses can imme-
diately be brought to stand-still by
means of this apparatus.

Mr.. AMERICUs SYMMEs thus explains
his fathers theory concerning the North
Pole, which he is endeavoring to have
thoroughly tested by the Howgate ex-
pedition. "The explorer will find that
after he passes the eightieth degree, the
weather grows milder; when he reaches
the eighty-6rst degree he will find some
open water; when the eighty-second
degree is reached he will find much open
water and great quantities of wild an
imals and some waterfowls; when the
eighty-third degree is reached he will
find the open Polar sea, that is two
thousand miles in diameter, and if he
will go out into that sea when the
weather is warm and genial, he will
find the country that the Symmes
theory says can be found-large forests
of timber, large rivers and rich land,
and the home of more wild animals
than can be found anywhere else in Gre
alton, and wateriowls in abundance"
