ferred in this conversation to Moses
Taylor and Marshall o. Roberts as
capitalists with whom the McGar-
han party were negotiating for
means. ID. o. Mills went back to
California after agreeing to leave
the offer open till the Goth. On the
9TH Barron, President Of the New
Idria Company, arrived from
Europe and asked witness for in
formation as to what parties were
conducting the negotiations. Wit
ness up to that time had known
only Shaw & Frank in the matter,
but Shaw then informed him that
Simon Stevens was the gentleman
who was negotiating for McGarra-
han with capitalists. Witness in
troduced Stevens to Barron about
the Sth or 9th of November and
Stevens thanked him for the intro
duction. On the 10th of Novem-
Der Barron informed witness that
Lees & Waller, New York cores
pondents of the New Idria Com
pany, had received telegram from
San Francisco withdrawing the
Mills proposition. Barron inti-
mated to him the evening before
that this would probably be done
as the parties did not seem dis
posed to raise the money.

Tho McGarrahan I.vos.igntiOn.
WASHINGTON, April 2Oth.-The
McGarrahan investigation was re-
sumed by the Senate Committee
on Public Lands this morning. An
hour or more was consumed by
disputes between counsel as to the
admissability Of documents offered
by the New Idria Company. They
consisted of q letter from Secretary
Cox to the Commissioner OF the
General Land Office in reference to
the status of the Panoche Grande
controversy In 1870 and its previous
history, o letter from President
Grant to Secretary Cox directing
him to withhold the issuance OF
the patent to the New IdrIa Com
pany while McGarrahan's claim
remained pending in Congress and
Secretary Cox's reply to this letter,
all of which have heretofore been
published. The committee decided
that, under its previous rulings,
they cannot now be received in ev-
idence. The committee also ex-
cluded a letter written by Acting
Secretary Cowen, of August 4th, in.
forming McGarrahan that the de.
partment declined to erase the
cancellation which had been writ
ten across the Paneche Grande
patent by order of Secretary Cox.

ROME, April 20th.-At the Easter
reception of Cardinals to-day, Pope
Leo dwelt upon the strength and
vitality of the Pontificate. He said
the war which has been declared
against the Papacy from the earli-
est times continues with undimin-
ished fierceness. Trusting in the
good will of the faithful we are
ready to carry on the warfare and
to uphold the rights Of the church.
The Pontif concluded by express
ing the hope that the erring chill
dren would finally submit.
The Peace Congress.
LONDON, April 20th.-The week
closes with tho prospects of the
Eastern difficulty no brighter. The
belief that Bismarck had contrived
form of invitation removing all
objections and soothing all suscep-
Utilities, seemed to be corroborated
by news from Vienna, that the
parliamentary business of the
Austro Hungarian Government
was being pushed forward in order
to set Count Andrassy at liberty to
attend the Congress, and in the
suggestion that the powers should
meet to consider how, in conse-
quence of the facts which occa-
stoned the treaty of San Stefano,
the treaties of 1855 and 1871 should
be modified, had, it was hoped,
been found a recognition at once
of the treaties for which England
contended and the claim of Russia
that her achievements in the late
war should be respected; but, as the
Times states, however hopeful
such suggestions may appear, eve.
rything depends on the specific
form in which, they are presented,
and, as it seems that has not borne
the test of strict confederation, it
is possible that Russia attaches
some reserve to her consent to dis
cuss all the clauses OF the treaty of
San Stefano, and that she cannot
be brought to recognize distinctly
the claim of the great powers to
voice in all the new arrangements
which affect the Eastern question.
The Turki.h Ministerial Crisis.
LONDON, April 2Oth.-The situa-
ton in and around Constantinople
attracts much attention. A Vien-
ia dispatch says the min
isterial crisis is viewed
with misgivings as capable
OF introducing a distracting ele.
ment into the negotiations. What
ever may be the cause Of the crisis,
and whatever may have so sudden
ly determined its final issue, the
removal of Ahmed Vefik Effendi is
sufficient to indicate the character
of the changes. 1t would never.
theless, perhaps, be premature to.say
that Russian influence has now be-
come paramount in his Cabinet.
1t rather looks as if the object of
the change had been to check too
extreme Tenderness and, at the same
time, the friction thereby caused
between them in the Cabinet. The
decision Of the struggle between
England and Russia for influence
in Constantinople, has thus, appa-
rently, been postponed. The rela-
tive position Of the two can scarce
ly be said to remain unaltered,
since, with AIMED Vefik Effendi as
Premier, England had the key of
influence in the Cabinet and was
thus as it we're in possession. Now,
however, this security Is in great
measure gone, while there is some

THE elements of disintegration

THE elements OF dlslntegratlon
10 the Republican party are stead
ily on the increase. There is an
Intense bitterness between the old
line Republicans Of the "bloody
shirt pattern and the Hayes fac
lion. Either would far rather see
the Democracy succeed than assist
IN the elevation of the enemy Of Its
own household. 1t looks very much
asif the Republican party is destin-
ed to be slaughtered In the house of
its friends. While Evarts, Sher-
man, Devens and Schurz may not
be very popular public men, they
nevertheless have their friends, land
they represent an element in the
Republican party which Is by no
means without a certain influence.
Conkling, Blaine, old Simon Cam
eron, both the Chambers and Ben
Butler, have time and again poured
the vitriol of their invective upon
Hayes and his Cabinet, and now
comes along George G. Gorham, Of
California, who has lately acquit-
ted himself OF a political brochure
Of which the following extract af-
fords 4 sample. We quote:

regarded as Republican in my

that the presence of Evarts in the
