The On e.t's Fp tune.

LONDON, July 27.-Mr Peter A. Taylor is
understood TO have prepared statement
respecting the private wealth Of the Queen,
which he intends to present when he moves
the rejection of the vote of annuity to the
Duke Of COnnaught. This statement will cali
attention to the fact that the will of the Queens
husband, contrary to law, was never admitted
to probate; that its contents have never
been made known; that the Prince Consort
died possessed of very large estates in South
been disposed of by secret agents Of the
Queen for immense sums of money; that her
Majesty is at present in possession Of vast
wealth, and is more than abundantly able to
provide the marriage portions Of her children,
without taxing her subjects for that purpose.

CONFLICT OF JURISDICTION
Between the state of sOuth Carolina and
the General GnYernmenf.


WASHINGTON, July 27.-The South Carolina
troubles, caused by the government enforcing
the revenue laws In that State seem likely to
bring the State and general government into
open collision. The event which carries the
dispute between the United States and the
local authorities to q serious pitch Is the re-
cent atfray in Pickens county, in which an
alleged Illicit distiller was shot and killed, it
who were about to arrest him.
The four officials Immediately surrendered
themselves, and were indicted for murder by
the State. A writ of hubeHs corpus was is
sued by the United States authorities, and
formal demand made for the custody Of the
prisoners, which was refused. No further
action was taken at the time.
On the same day Judge Kershaw, of the
Greenville Circuit Court, refused motion to
transfer the case to the United States court,
on the ground that section CAB Of the Revised
Statutes did not come under the statutes OF
the State.
The whole subject was discussed In the
Cabinet, when it was decided to hold special
term of the United States District Court,
Judge Bond presiding, for the purpose of re-
leasing the revenue officers from prison,
through the operations of writ of hGbeas
COrpusY
Mr. Earl, of South Carolina, recently ap-
pointed Special Assistant District Attorney
In charge of this case, arrived here to consult
with the President and Attorney General,
and was directed to proceed to Baltimore and
confer with Judge Bond as to the time for
special session. 1t Is expected that he will
decide to proceed to South Carolina and at
once and open court.

WASHING
Sighting RECEIPT On of the Chinese Am-
bas~ RdOr.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 27.-Among the pas
sengers who arrived in the city by the
steamer City of Toxic, were the Chinese
Minister Chin Ian Pin, and members OF his
suite. Extensive preparations had been made
by the Chinese residents to give the repre-
sentativeS Of their nation fitting reception,
and as soon as the announcement OF the ar
rival Of the Toxic spread among them, they
began to flock towards the steamship COM
pany's premises in large numbers.
AS the ambassadors carriage and those OF
his retinue passed out OF the gate Of the
steamship cOmpany's premises disgraceful
gr0anlng began, but the prompt action Of the
officers in drawing their clubs and command
ing silence, quickly checked the intended in
suit 1t Is painful to note that no other show
OF courtesy was witnessed all along the line
OF the procession.
Large crowds of Chinese and citizens had
assembled at the hotel, and on their arrival
there the six presidents OF the Chinese COM
panies escorted the embassy TO their rooms.
Shortly afterwards the Chinese merchants
passed before the embassy, the surgeon gen
eral and chief dignitaries receiving each per-
sonal recognition from beginning to end Not
q single representative of the municipal au-
thor1tles or Federal officers was present.
The ambassador, however, took no offense
at this neglect, as he does not consider he
has any standing in the country before his
official recognition by the United States gov
ernment.
He thinks that he will proceed to Washing
ton in few days, but the Chinese residents
OF this city desired to give him a banquet

StrikIngly Imposing sCenes-The Great
Cathedral Filled to OverfIOwlng-
The ateremnnIpE

TAH ceremonies.
LONDON, July 28-The scene in st. Paul's
to-day was strikingly imposing. The bishops
and arChbishOps constituting The Pan-ADgli-
can Conference had assent bled in the SaCrtSty
of the cathedral, where they assumed their
Episcopal robes. Meanwhile that portion Of
the cathedral under the great dome had been
filled by an immense assemblage OF people,
among whom were many Clergymen. Their
numbers increased until the crowd surged
back into the nave BY the time the process
sion appeared the immense cathedral was
filled to overflowing
At the appointed moment the great organ
began to play the air Of the professional
hymn, and the spectators all arose to see the
procession enter. It came from the sacristy
on the south side Of the church, and, turning
to the right, entered the ChanGel. 1t was
headed by the senior verger of the cathedral,
wearing black sOuteane and carrying his
rod of office, a black staff tipped with silver
Then came the choir boys and men, thirty
In number, wearing, white supplies. Then
the Canons Of the church in their surpltceS
and wearing the hoods and scarfs OF their
university. Then the bishops in their robes,
the younger walking in advance, finally the
archbisnOps, his grace, the Archbishop OF
Canterbery, coming last.
AS the procession advanced into the ChanCnl
the ushers directed each Of the bishops to the
stall he was to occupy Each one, as he
reached his appointed place. knelt In prayer.
The cathedral at this time presented beauti-

followed were impressive. The choral service
was rendered with great effect by the MEM
berS OF the choir, whose voices we're trained
to high degree OF excellence, and the prayers
were intoned admirably.
The sermon was delivered by the Rt. Rev.
VIM. Bacon Stephens, Bishop Of Pennsyl-
vania; although he spoke with clear enuncia-
tion, his voice could not be heard by the great
majority Of the spectators, so vast was the
assemblage. Hedwelt upon the happy omens
which attended the opening Of the conference;
upon the harmony which attended It's deliber-
ations, and the wholesome results which
would flow from 1t. The Anglican Church, he
said, had once more called its pre-
lates together In order that they
might take counsel, and they had come from
q distance, from all parts of English speaking
Christendom. The con erence had demon
strated the essential unity of the Church in
itself, and it's record will be handed down as
the most illustrious event in the history Of
this branch of the universal Church Of Christ
1t is understood that the conference decided
not to publish pastoral address, but one has
been prepared, and it is rumored that on re-
consideration they have decided to publish 1t.

A wOmnn's Wrongs,

NEW YORK, July GA morning paper
says: Sensible people often tell stories more
improbable than Mrs. Philomeno Knoffer-
stitch, who has just been discharged, after five
years Imprisonment as criminal and luna
tic, The trick OF which she asserts she is the
victim, has been played very often, though,
perhaps, not by husbands upon wives.
Mrs. KnOfferstich, rather intelligent
woman, says that she came to this country
about 1871, and for q long time resided in st.
Louis, where in common with many OF her
country folks, she followed the trade of a
cigar maker. She possessed little money Of
her own when she arrived here and by indus
try added to it, until she had accumulated
enough to open savings bank account.
Her husband in the meantime had become
enamOred of another woman, and, as she al
leges, formed q plot to get rid Of her. To ef-
feet his purpose he caused her to be followed
In Washington Market, and pocket-book to
be slipped into her market basket Her ar
rest and conviction followed, and her husband
took advantage she claims, of her incarcera-
tion to procure divorce, draw her money
from the bank and abandoned her to her fate.

THE RACE YESTERDAY.

BAY ST.. LOUIS, July 27.-The match race
between the New York yacht Nathalie G. and
the New Orleans built yacht Cydnus attract
ed acrowd Of about one thousand visitors to
this place to-day.
During the early part of the day the pros
poets for q good day were very unpropitious,
overhanging clouds, sultry atmosphere and
almost calm sea, betokening evil for the
lovers of the sport and the participants.
At about half-past 10 o'clock, however, the
heavens cleared up somewhat, and the boats
were ordered to their positions. In drawing
for positions, the Cydnus won the windward
position. The start was made at Al p. m.,
wind southeast, light. The first stake was
south southeast, making dead head to wind
ward, which brought out fully the qualities
OF the two boats in eating up In the wind as
will be seen by the official table below.
After rounding the first stake the wind
boulded round to the northwest, when the
Cydnus was slightly in the lead, owing to
when both were nearing the stake SO closely
that the spectators from on shore were unable
to determine which boat rounded first.
Going free the wind varied somewhat and
both were trying to secure the windward DO
sition. Passing the second or southwark stake
the wind shifted again, making dead beat
home, wherein the excellent sailing qualities
of the Nathalie G. showed themselves.

the enthusiasm OF the spectators was exhibit
ed by rounds of cheers.

was made by each without tack, so nearly

race, race, though the breeze was steadily
increasing, and 1t was thought by many that
the Cyndus, with her spread of canvass,
soon overhaul her competitor. This. how
ever, proved delusion, as the Nathalie g kept
well her distance, rounding the southwark
stake 051a ahead. The wind veerinp again
to the northeast, and still fresh, made chase
home which for intense interest and excite |
ment has never been witnessed on this coast. |
The unprecedented time of two hours and
ten minutes was made under many disadvan-
tages, and the crack yacht of America is the
victor by the insignificant time of one minute
and fifty-four seconds over an untrled and
entirely new vessel. The gentlemen who

Warren.

NEW YORK, July 27.-Among the soldiers
criticized by President Grant, as reported
in the famous Hamburg letter, was Gen. g.
Fl. Warren, and to-day is published digni-
officer. Gen. Warren not only denies that he
was in any way responsible for the failure at
Petersburg, after the mine explosion, but
calls attention to the fact that Gen. Hancock S
court of inquiry upon Farline charged no
part of the responsibility upon him. He also
claims that he was not only not relieved at
Five Forks until after the battle, but that he
led the final attack which completed the vic
tory He declares that there was no cause
for removing him for misconduct, and that
because he could have proved this before q
court of inquiry, Gen. Grant would never al
low him that opportunity.

Another Miners strike Threatened.

SCRANTON, Pa, July 27-The employees Of
the Pennsylvania Central Railroad Company,
who have recently been working four days a
week in the mines, held large meeting at
Pittston yesterday and discussed their griev-
ances in a calm and determined manner. The
wages received are not sufficient to sustain
their families, and the tone Of the speeches
looks as If a strike was coming.
The men organized and elected officers, and
will make demand on the company for an
advance in wages at an early date. They say
that if they could have full time, even at the
present pay, they would be content, but that
they have been running in debt, until the
merchants will no longer trust them, and
they are growing desperate.
