CARDINAL FRANcHI DEAD.
LONDON, Aug. IA dispatch just re-
ceved from Rome announces the death
this morning of Cardinal Franchi, the Pom
tifical Secretary of State.
LONDON, Aug. IA dispatch from Rome
says Cardinal Franchi's death is deeply
lamented by the Pope, who was not only
greatly attached to him, but had the ut
most confidence in his discretion and sagac-
ity.
1t was through his skill that the suspend
ed negotiations with Prince Bismarck had
been resumed, and the Papal Nuncio at
Munich sent to Berlin. Cardinal Franchi
was visited during his illness twice each
day by the Pope, and His Holiness was
alone with him for some time before his
death.
He suffered much pain in his last mo-
ments. Masses for his soul are to be said
in St. Peters and in all churches of Rome.
Speculation is rife as to his successor, but
the Pope has as yet given no indication of
his choice

THE GERMAN ELECTION.
LONDON, Aug. IA later dispatch from
Berlin says the National Liberals have sue
caa1oI in ratIrnipu hipu thar
one hundred and twenty members. The
vote of the Social Democrats has in every
case shown an increase, but the combina-
tions against them have proved more sue
cessful than was at first thought probable.
THE RESISTANCE OF BOSNIA.
VIENNA, Aug 1.-The city was thrown
into state of excitement yesterday by the
receipt of intelligence that the populace of
Saracievo, otherwise known as Bosnia Serai
the capital of Bosnia, had risen en- masse,
seized the armory, and avowed their inten-
ton of resisting the entrance of the Austrian
army into the city at all hazards. The
Mahommedan population of Saracievo,
which constitutes the majority of the in
habitants, are reported to be prominent in
the revolt, but the Greek Christians are said
to be also concerned in it.
The populacs having first taken pos
session of the armory and the citadel which
defends the city, made the preparations for
manning those positions of the ancient
walls which command the approaches, and
they avowed their intention of resisting the
entrance Of General Philippovich at what
ever cost. The position of Saraceyo would
enable garrison of skilled soldiers, fur
nshed with modern arms to defend it with
some success; but the armory in The citadel
was poorly supplied with arms, and it is
thought that General Philippovich will not
have much trouble in taking the place
The city contains about fifty thousand in
habtants 1t occupies the declivities of sew
eral hills, and is situated on the River
Migliazza, near the Bosnian.
1t contains one hundred and five Mahom-
medan mosques, eight Greek churches and
few Roman Catholic monasteries. The
first dispatch announcing the revolt came
direct from Saracievo, but later on telegraph
communication was suspended, and much
doubt exists as to the authenticity of numer-
ous rumors since received concerning the
progress of affairs. One account says the
Mahommedan commander of the city him
self instigated the revolt in order to free
himself from the responsibility of either
surrendering the city to General Philippe
vich or making what he knew would be a
futile resistance.
