4 WAR AGAINST REApISG-MAclTISEs.--
from the Philadelphia Times. C1ncta-
natl, July 2.-Thc destruction OF reaping-
machines by trampiu@ communists in ONO
and Indiana is getting to be OF such ire
uuent occurrence as 10 thoroughly alarm
the farmers, who fear that it is the begin
ming of an organized crusade against agrl-
cultural machinery. Notices are nightly
posted about the rural districts warning the
farmers. who are in the midst OF harvest,
against the use OF patent rcapers. In re-
turn the farmers are posting notices warn
ing the tramps that any man who is caught
burning their barns or stacks or reapcrs VIII
be promptly shot. The number of reapers
already reported destroyed is not less than
twenty or thirty. A few OF the more timld
farmers are discrding machines and cut
ting their grain by hand. Most OF them,
however, will not heed the incendiary no.
tees, and will protect their property at all
hazards. Any man who desires work can
readily secure it now in the harvest-hed.
In some places hands are scarce at 81 90 per
day and board. Farmers think the bread
or.blood plea OF barn-burners is not we'll
founded.

GERMANY AND THE PoPE.-London, July
3.-Tiere is much difference OF opinion
among the Berlin politicians regarding the
intention Of the Government in publishing
the letters OF the German Emperor and
Crown Prince to the Pope in reply to his
notification OF his accession. Some persons
think it is sign that peace will soon be
concluded between the Church and the
State, while others put the opposite inter-
probation upon the event.
In the opinion Of the Berlin correspond
ent OF the Times, there is little doubt that
official usagcs in Berlin would have pro-
hibited the publishing Of such important
documents unless the negotiations were ap-
solutely ended. The correspondent con-
tinueS -.'..ss..
"Thc conservative elements in the Gov
eminent can now no longer hope to Sc
cure Ultramontane support in the elections
or in the new House.
"The Conservatives arc. isolate d, as
ever. They may gain few seats III the pre-
vailinc Socialist and anti-SociallSt excite
mcnt, although they cannot expect any
thing like 4 maj ority.
1.-The result OF il all is that Prince Bis
marck will find it difficult TO dispense with
Liberal support, though the Liberals may
be rs unwilling us ever to raise supplies
after the fashion which would tend to make
the Government practically independent OF
the annual vOtes.'

the attention Of the grand jury to the in
cessant noises of the Metropolitan Elevated
railroad and the injuries which they will
cause to the health OF those who live along
the line OF the road. Mr.. Edison has come
in brief time to be looked upon as such
universal genius. capable of inventing any
thing, and ready and able to cure any OF the
ills flesh is heir to, that nobody will be sur
prised to learn that he has been called in as
a sort of consulting physician. He felt the
pulse OF his patient yesterday by few trips
in the cars, and then announced that he
thought he could devise means to deaden
the sound and condense the smoke in way
to satisfy both the company and the public.
II he succeeds he will do the New York
public great service.

LOUISVILLE, July AT 10 clock this

decorated and unparalleled. Much interest
was felt in the great event OF the day. The
first race was a dash of n mile and three
quarters, and was won by Dan Il, beating
Harkaway easily. Time, PISA. The Sec
ond race was 4 sweepstakes for two-Tcar

LOUISVILLE, July 4.-Wben the drum
tanned for the great four.nile race to-day
Ten Brock and Mollie McCarty went by
the string like twin bullets. Ten Brock
had the outside OF the track, and the mare
being inside ran 10 the front from the start,
and at the first quarter they were side 10y
side and going CALAMITY on to victory. The
baIf-milc did not change the position, and
AZ they moved onward the $4,000 spectators
were held in perfect silence. Between the
half and thrcc-quartcr stretch the mare got
her nose ahead, and great cheer went
I'D: and then as they came past the
string aud she again appeared in front
another cheer was heard-the marc run
ming easf. Ten Brock was being driven
hard. In the second mile Mollie seemed to
be moving with such ease and Ten Brock
labored so hard that Kentuckians wayercd
by thousands, and the certainty OF Califor-
MIA winning produced dead silence at the
half-mile post. BY the second mile Walker
urged Ten Brock quite bard, and Howsen
permitted him to come up side by side. a

quarter post, and coming into the stretch
Mollie McCarty brushed ahead again, pass
ing the grand-stand half-length in the
lead. "She will win, sure" was heard in
all directions, and more confident grew the
cry as her easy movement continued.
She passed the quarter in the third
mile still leading, but the horse hung on to
her close, and made pace so slurderous
that many knew his bottom would have an
effect. Ultimately, at the three-cighth pole
of the third mile, McCarty let up in her
running, Ten Brock taking the track and
passing at the very moment his friends were
giving him up. He increased rapidly the
distance separating them. The mares
breakdown was heard the field over, but
she ran on. Walker, pulling the horse
slightly, was ahead on the third mile ten
lengths, and he increased it all the time.
Although her defeat was now certain
few realized how far and how easy
Ten Brock would win, he little

new York Tribune, 3d.


The Ber,sn congress has nearly completed
the new man OF European Turkey. Lynn,
tiefy,s Bulgaria has been divided, Bosnia
and Herzegovina have virtually been coded
to Austria. the independence Of Montenc-
gro. Seryia, and Roumania has been recog-
ir,ized, the strip OF Bessarabia which Russia
lost In 1850 has been restored to her, the
Dobrudia has been annexed to Roumania,
and the frontiers of Montenegro, and
;Servia have been reIdiusted. We do not
vet know what is to be the precise
fate OF Eastern Roumelia. and are
still disposed to regard the separation
OF the Balkan provinces as an ill-adyised
compromise. In other respects the Con-
gress has acted with sagacity and wisdom.
In debating the conditions Of peace at San
Stcfano Russia was unduly generous to the
southern slavs. The Servian and Monte
inegrin frontiers have been hedged in, but
substantial conquests still remain. The
heroic morntaineers, at the close OF their
four-century war with the Turks, have won
their hearts desire 1.-The harbor OF Antivari.
While the unjustifiable prctensions OF Aus.
tria in this quarter have been resisted, Tue
military occupation OF the Bosnian pro-
yinces has been sanctioned-u measure
that will result in unmiXcd good. The
retrocession OF Dcssarabia has been de-
nounced in England as an act OF barefaced
robbery. although the Government was dis
tinctlv Informed before the Grand Duke
crossed the Danube that this would be one
OF the conditions OF peace. Russia gets
back in her hour OF triumph what Europe
took from her in her hour of defeat. The
plenipotcntisries have madea virtue Of ne.
cessity and arranged an even exchange OF
territory. A strip at the base OF the Do
brudia has been added to the section set
apart in the treaty OF San Stefano, and
new barbor has been acquired, so that Roli-
mania will not suffer in a material sense.

BISHOP KEANE AND THE PAPAL Bulls
When Archbishop Gibbons learned from
Bishop Chatard on Tuesday that he did not
bring with him the papal bulls constituting
Rev. John J. KeaDc Bishop OF Richmond,
he communicated at once with the authori-
ties at Rome regarding the subject. Yes
terdav the Archbishop received in reply a
cablegram from Rome stating that the bulls
were mailed in registered package on
April 18th last. The cahlcSram further
stated that duplicate to the bulls would
be prepared and forwarded at once. The
Archbishop called on General Tyler, the
postmaster, to learn. if possible, how
the package had mscarried. 1t is thought
that the package was mailed in a hurry
without tho necessary postaSe-stamps, and
that it never left Italy. Registered pack
ages are brought here from other countries
in large pouches, which are securely sealed
and receipted for at the varioys points OF
delivery. One package could not, there
