THE newspaper stories about the Kid
mapping of negroes from Florida have
more than a sensational foundation, 1t
appears. The Secretary of State has been
advised to institute investigation into
the matter, and will probably do so. 1t is
asserted that cOlored men have been
forcibly taken from the Gulf States to
Cuba and there put to enforced work.
The case is such as to warrant careful
consideration.

A SPECIAL from Berlin throws some
light on the English objections to the
German form of invitation to the con-
gress. The despatch says the proposed
form, the British government say, ex-
presses an assumption that the treaties of
1886 and 1871 are already modified by
The result Of the war. England insists
on the contrary that the necessity of SUI
perceding or amending those treaties is
not to be assumed in advance in way
which might prejudice negotiations.

THE police of Chicago report that there
are 1000 or 5000 communists in that
city who are drilling with arms every
night, who have watchworGs and signs
and who are organized for Spontaneous
uprising over the whole city. They are
expecting the coming summer to repeat
the rios of last summer which were pre-
mature. This time they will be prepared
for fight in favor OF an equal distribu-
ton of property, inaugurated by the
hanging OF everyone who owns anything.
The business men are subscribing for the
purchase of arms for the police, including
battery and gatling gun. On the other
hand, it is said that the reports are in
vented by the police in the hope of
frightening the business men into a
movement for raising their pay.

A CORRESPONDENT says it is not yet
known whether the British government
will accept the new formula, viz: that
the Congress shall consider the treaties of
1856 and 1871 in relation to the treaty oil
San Slefano. Ihs- British Cabinet does
not insist on any particular form OF words
but merely demands that Russia should
in some way formally recognize the SUI
premacy of Europe relative to the eastern
question. The truth is that the discus
sions about formula cover more impor-
tant matters. Ole issue out OF the pres
ent complications consists in undoing
much of Russia's work and giving the
rest European instead of Il specifically
Russian character. Another consists in
what is called the principle of equivalents
or compensation to the powers for Rus
sia's acquisitions. The latter solution is
the one Russia desires, while Great
Britain seems resolved TO insist on the
former.

THE preparations being made by En-
gland indicate determination to crowd
the Russians back from CODstantinOple.
Negotiations for the peaceful withdraw
al of both armies from the Turkish cap
ital have failed, according to q Vienna
dispatch. This report seems more prob
able because of the continued troubles in
Roumelia. With an Instruction upon
its hands, ard the snake which it scotched
but did not kill, writing about Its feet,
Russia is in no special humor to treat of
peace. There is no real desire to with
draw from the BOsphorus on the part OF
the grand duke. Indeed. the prospect OF
war is much greater now than for sever
al weeks past, but the troublesome ques-
tions will probably be settled aud the
warlike energies of both nations eXpend
themselves in prelininaries. Russia. as
well as England, has dangerous elt
ment to keep watch of, against fire in
the rear. There can be little doubt about
the possibility of Instructions at home
having great weight with Russia, as fear
of Indian feyolts affects England's policy.

ALTHOUGH the reports of the insurrec-
ton in Bulgaria are undoubtedly exag-
gerated, there is sufficient reason for be-
lieving that grave condition. Of affairs
exists in Roumelia. or the region south
of the Balkans which is occupied by the
Russo-Bulgarian troops. Spirit of re-
venge has seized holdsof the hearts OF
Mussulmans, and a state of anarchy.
equal TO that which shocked the Chris
tain world two years ago, now exists.
The occupying forces have been guilty
OF outrages upon the Turkish inhabitants,
while engagedsin the protested work of
pacification. The irregular native troops
haye arisen to take summary vengeance
upon the invaders. In fact, the situation
in Bulgaria to day is but slightly changed
from that of 1876. except for the worst.
from the progress of war of practical
determination.

THE bill which has been passed bv
the Senate extending the time for the
completion of the Northern Pacific
Railroad adds ten years from the date
of its final passage to the life of that
corporations land grant. 1t does not in
crease that grant, however, but does and
new conditions to those included in the
original measure for the protection of
the public interests. Under its pro-
visions work must be promptly COM
menced and persistently pushed on the
western end of the road. During the
debate it appeared that the rapid filling
up Of the country with immigrants
where the eastern portion of the line is
built, is developing the agricultural re-
sources of the section, and that the rail-
road company is doing all in its power
to encourage this growth. The House
will undoubtedly soon pass the measure.
The passage in the pope's encyclicaI
issue which was announced April 25th
regarding the civil power OF the church
is as follows: "The hopes of Italy and
the world rest on the beneficent influence
OF the Holy See, and on the intimate
union OF all the faithful with the romau
Pontiff. 1t therefore stands to reason
that we should with all diligence, do all
in our power preserve intact the dig
nifty of the Roman Cathedra, i'm order be-
fore all things to guard the rights and
liberty OF the Holy See. We shall never
cease to insist that our authority be re-
spected that our ministry and our power
be lett fully free and Independent. and
that the position be restored to us in
which divine wisdom long ago placed
us. 1t is no vain desire of the dominion
which moves us to demand the re-estab-
lishment of our civil power. We demand
| it because orr duties and our solemn
oaths exact it, and because it is not only
necessary to conserve fully the lib
erty OF spiritual power, out also because
it is evident that, when it is question
of temporal dominion of the Apostolic
See. it involves the we'll being and safety
of the whole human family" The
Pope distinctly sendorses the policy
and acts of his predecessors; con-
dennis civil marriages and de-
plores the rejection OF the author
ity of the church proclaimng that to be
the cause of all the existing evils, but in
language OF calmness and dignity, devoid
throughout of any tone of offence or
violence. The encyclical contains no at
tack whatever upon the civil government
of Italy, nor any mention direct or indi-
rect of the House OF Savoy.

Fluctuations Of Silver In London.

interesting account Of the variations in
the price Of SILVER during 1877. The
highest rate was obtained in january,

the demand for India having been for
some time very active; afterwards u
gradual but uninterrupted decline com
mcnccd and continued until June,

I'd. For the subsequent three months
silver ruled about Did, but in October
had 4 very rapid rise, III consequence
Of Indian orders, and reached 55ld;
lattcrly, however, the price has again
been about Sid The transactions Of
the year have been very large, the
total imports having been nearly TWEEN
ty millions, the exports nearly nineteen
millions OF the imports about twelve
millions have been received from Ger
many, an amount which would prob
ably have seriously depressed the price
but for the extraordinary demand caused
ed by the famine in India, the exports

been relatively inconsiderablc, not cx-
cocding two millions, Notwithstanding
