The Prince Imperial.
LONDON, June 20@The following are
additional particulars of the death of the
Prince Imperial: The body of the
Prince, when found, lay on its back.
There were eighteen assegai stabs In it,
two of them piercing the body from the
chest to the back, two inside and one de-
stroying the right eye A lOcket with
the hair of MedalliOns and Keliquary was
found around his neck. The face wore
placid expression. He had evidently
Intellectually tried to mount, and the
leather of the flap tearing, he ran along
path to where he found two troopers,
and they Jay near the body, both assegai-
ed. The prince was very adventurous.
An official account says the prince, with
Lieut.. Carry of the nineteenth regiment,
with SIX men and one friendly Zulu, left
the camp for Kilitz mountain, seven
miles beyond Blood river, the first inst,
for reconnaissance. They halted and
unsaddled when ten miles from camp.
Just as he gave the order to remount, "a

The President Approves.
WASHINGTON, June 20.-The Presi-
dent has approved the joint resolution
relating to a bridge across the Detroit
| river, at or near Detroit.
| Senator Carpenter, in his speech on the
army bill, stated that the intent of it was
to prevent any use of IL whatever on cleo
ton day, and forbade the President to
respond to the call of any state for aid.
1t was cunningly devised to mix in with
the provisions of other laws on this sub
ject. If he was wrong, the Senator from
New York (Conkling) had prepared seY-
eral testaments which would make it
perfectly plain, and if the other side
meant what he thought they did the OBJ
lection would stand out, and be reason
enough for the bill not to be passed by
an American congress.
/ Senator Ingalls, thought the concilato-
ry policy of the President toward the
south had been badly rewarded by the
course taken by that section; that the
use by the Democrats of the military in
| Kansas did more to weaken that party
than any other of their actions. The
Senator pronounced the circular which
had been promulgated among the blacks,
promising government support in Kan
sas and saying that congress intended
depriving them of their rights, a forgery
invented for the precisepurposet to which
it had been put.
The House legislative appropriation
bill was reported by the committee on
enrolled bills, and signed by the speaker
The house then went into committee on
the private calendar.
