Russians On the Caspian Sen.

Sometimes news comes in roundabout
ways. Occasionally we hear from Chicago
news Of what has happened in London,
and we have moro than once seen in the
Paris papers Brooklyn news of which we
had not heard before. If we were not
aware of this popularity on the part
of late and important intelligence, to be
heard from first in the most unexpected
places, we should deem it rather odd
that news of q Russian, expedition across
tho Caspian should reach London from
Berlin, because in the number of commodi-
ties that the German capital is distin-
guished for not possessing news is the most
conspicuous. No news is contributed by
Berlin to the worlds information except
the occasional statement that Bis
marck has bullied the Deputies or that
Bsmarck's dog has bitten somebody aud
that that dull, prosy and suspicious capital
should suddenly become q centre OF Rus
sian and Asiatic news-with the plague
added to the ordinary difficulties Of inter-
course--is not conceivable. Conseq uently
the latest London news about Russin is sus-
picious in its source. 1t is even more
suspicious as to Its inferences but
between these two difficulties 1t gives
statement that may very possibly be
true. The statement as reported is
that the Russians are moving twenty
thousand troops across the Caspian Sea 4;
and 1t is inferred that these are to go to
Merv, in Turkestan. II the Russians are
moving troops across the Caspian the pur-
nose is perhaps verv different from the one

Captain Williams Arraixned.

The charges preferred against Captain
Williams by the President Of the Police
Commission were formally presented to the
Board yesterday and will be tried next
week. The specification is that Captain
Williams ''wrongfully and unlawfully as
saulted one William v. Blake at Gilmore's
Garden on the 11th inst. ''and bent, kicked
and otherwise maltreated and did not arrest
him." The names of two highly respecta-
BILE citizens are given by Commissioner
Smith as witnesses Of the assault, and it is
said that other gentlemen are ready to sub
stantiate the charge, and to testify, if neces-
sary. to other acts which prove Captain
Williams to be an unfit and dangerous
person to be .intrusted with police au-
thority.
1t is to be hoped that these promised
witnesses will be on hand at the trial, and
that if the present charge against the ac-
cused officer is substantiated neither fear
nor favoritism on the part of any Commis-
sioner will be allowed to retain him on the
force The Twenty-ninth precinct is "a
scandal and disgrace to the city, and the
fact that disorderly houses and gambling
dens in the precinct have been broken up
by officers detailed specially for the pur-
pose and not belonging to the precinct
is sufficient proof that the Captain is
neglectful of his duty. If the charge of as
sault now preferred against the Captain is
established he should be removed from the
force and not simply ordered to patrol
duty. A man who. as captain, is unable
to control his violent temper would be
even more dangerous as o patrolman, and
should not be allowed to wear the police
uniform Mt a1l

of Finance, ito take larger proportion
of the two million dollars out Of our
American neighbors than we do out OF
England" There is q deficiency of two
millions in the revenue of Canada, which
must necessarily be made up by an in
crease of taxes. If revenue We're the
sole object it would not be considered how
the new tariff will affect England or the
United States. But besides tho necessity
of increasing the revenue there is desire
to establish the trade across the border on
o better footing. The new tariff is aimed
against the producers Of the United
States. in the hope that its first
effect will be renewal of negotia-
tions for reciprocity treaty. The
government of Sir John Macdonald could
in no other way SO enhance its popularity
and confirm its stability as by the success
full negotiation of a new reciprocity treaty
with the United States. ''There is tide
in the affairs of men," and Secretary Evarts
will miss great opportunity if he does not
take advantage of the present situation to
obtain for our producers free access to the
markets of Canada.

The War im South Africa.

In the detailed story of the massacre Of
British troops by the Zulus at Isandula.
which is given in the HERALD to-day, the
case appears to be worse even than it was
represented in the early reports by cable {;
for while nearly every man Of the force en-
gagged was killed, as first reported, there
were some pleasant fctions in regard
to the way the calamity occurred
which must now be stricken from the
chronicle. First, the Zulus were ceftainly
not slaughtered by thousands. as was re-
ported. One report, sent by Lord Chelms-
ford, put their loss at five thousand. They
lost heavily, but in no such proportion.
The ammunition of the troops was not ex-
hausted and they did not die in their lines
after expanding their last cartridge. They
were actually killed at close quarters by
the enemy before they had time to
use up their ammunition, and though
many fought well more died on
the run. They were not drawn ont
of camp by stratagem, but were over
powered and cut down by charge of the
Zulus in order Of battle in overwhelming
numbers. It was not necessary to entice
them away from their camp, for they were
as helpless there as they could have been
anywhere, since the camp was not i'll the
slightest degree fortified and was not in q
defensible position. There were about iii
teen hundred in camp and eighteen hun
dred were away with Lord Chelmsford on q
wild goose chase. But Lord Chelmsford is
not to be removed. He cannot handle the
Zulus very we'll, but he can handle the
powers that be in London.

An Und,gnifled Proceeding.

The position of clerk of the city and
county of New York is suid to be one OF con-
siderable value, and the fortunate gentle
man who now holds the Governors appoint
ment to that Office may be pardoned for a
desire to obtain speedy possession of
its tempting emoluments. But it. was
scarcely necessary, and certainly undig-
nifed, to raise sort OF political
posse comitatus in tho dead of the
night; to disturb the slumbers of the ven-
erable Chief Justice of the Supreme Court
at the unseemly hour of three A. NJ; to WOO
him from his warm bed for the purpose OF
administering an oath of ofice and accept
ing bondsmen in his nightcap, dressing
gown and slippers, and to make forcible
entry by means of crowbars or battering
rams through the cellar Of the new Court
House into the coveted Office Ii the Gov
ernor's appointee knew, as he ought 10 have
known, that he had n good and valid
title to the position of County Clerk he
might well have been contented to take
possession in a legal and peaceful manner.
He had no right to assume that the removed
official would resist his claim, and no re-
sistance could have been offered that would
not have been set aside by judge in his
ordinary -habiliments within the succeeding
forty-eight hours. Besides, the retiring
County Clerk, a young married man
md an active politician may have
had private papers in his Office which
it is not likely he would have chosen to
submit to the prying eye Of a bachelor and
political opponent. Under the lock and
key Of his official sanctum there may have
been bundles Of old love letters, written
before marriage those pleasant reminis-
cences of the past which are the rosebushes
that enliven and beautify the kitchen
garden of matrimonial life, but which
single men are apt to ridicule and decry.
Or confidential communications from sa-
chems and Wiskinkies may have been there,
containing secrets into which no anti
Tammany nose had any right to poke.
Besides, there are valuable papers in the
County Clerks cf1ice, and if the sleepy
watchman had happened 10 shoot into the
mysterious crowd that battered down o
door and crept up a private stairway before
daylight, and had killed some one, mis-
taking the visit for burglary, the new ap-
pointee's unusual mode of taking possession
might have been changed from comedy
into tragedy.

Organization OF the New Congress.
The Senate completed it's preliminary
work yesterday within IN hour of the time
of meeting and adjourned. The proceed
ings OF the House went on smoothly
enough, but more time was consumed in the
election of officers and the swear
ing in of new members. When the
House reassembles this morning we
presume committee will be appointed to
act in conjunction with that appointed by
the Senate to wait ON the President and in
form him that the two houses are ready
to receive any message which he
may desire to communicate. The
brief message of the President stating
his reasons for calling the extra session
will doubtless be sent in to-day. 1t is un-
derstood that it will be confined to the
necessity of passing the appropriation bills
which failed at the last session, with per-
haps a suggestion respecting the expected
deficit in the revenue.

THE WEATuER.-The trough of low barometer
which extended parallel with the Atlantic coast
from the Gulf of Mexico to Nova Scotia, where
its centre of disturbance was passing OH Mon
day, has moved into the ocean, attended by
heavy rains on the South Atlantic coast and
snow in the northern disfrcts. 1t was followed
by largo area of high pressure, which now
dominates the weather over all the territory
cost Of tho Rocky Mountains. Light snow has
fallen in the central valley districts, caused
by tho difference in temperature of the
air, tho northwest winds being very cold
while those blowing from the south and south
east brought with them the warmer and dampcr
: atmosphere from the regions of the Gulf
Stream. The winds have been fresh to brisk
on the South Atlantic and eastern Gulf coasts,
fresh over tho lakes and generally light else
where. slight rise occurred in temperature
I'm the central valley districts 1t has fallen
elsewhere, particularly on the Atlantic and Gulf
coasts The weather continues threatening over
the British Islands, and the barometer is still
considerably below the mean. 1t is likely, how
ever that general clearing will take place to-
day, to be followed by increasing cloudincss and
rain by tomorrow night The weather in New
York and Its vicinity to-day will BIC warmer and
flir, Tomorrow the same conditions arc likely
to DrcvaL
