Saratoga, May 20.-In the Presby-
terian assembly to-day, DIR. Kendall,
secretary of the board of home mis-
sions, detailed the obstacles in New
Mexico and Utah.
Rev. ]. c. Hewitt, of Montana, after
giving an account of the agricultural
and mining resources of that territory,
said there were six Presbyterian
churches there, one self-sustaining.
There is great call there for Presby-
terian missionaries. Catholics are
sending priests to occupy the territory.
Elder John NJ. Coyner, of Utah,
spoke of the necessities of the work of
the society there. If money was not
spent in christianizing Utah now, mill
ions more will be needed hereafter to
put down Mormons who are indefati-
gable in proselyting at home and in
foreign countries.
Rev. Geo. G. Smith, of Santa Fe,
defended the syndicate missionaries.
Missionaries are greatly needed in New
Mexico to work against Romanism.

London, May 20.--A correspondent
who has just traversed the Danube
from Giurgevo to Buda Pesth, tele-
graphs that the Danube is very high.
A short distance above Baseias, where
the Austrian shore becomes low and
fat and the floods extendss great dis
tance inland, between this point and
the Belgrade river is from five to fifteen
miles wide, at Belgrade 1t is fully twen-
ty miles wide. Nearly all the Austrian
villages between Pesth and Baseias,
have water in the streets. Riverside
inhabitants inform me that the water
is already within two feet of the high
est point recorded and still rising.
Floods continuing so late in the season
must cause great damage to crops. All
grain and other growing produce in
Roumania, Bulgaria and Austria Hun
gary not within reach of high water
are looking finely and promise bounti-
full harvest.

New York, May 20.--The Worlds
Paris correspondent of May 7th, says
that Lieut. Bonaparte Wyse visited the
United States and, unless am sadly
misinformed, made the acquaintance in
New York of some accomplished fellow
cousins of yours who are more familiar
with Wall street than with the wilder
ness of Darian, or the mysteries of Cen
trail American politics.
The Correspondent hints to the possi-
BILE connection of the scheme with q
bear movement in the Pacific mail and
overland railways.
The World, editorially, says:
"Whether the convention has or ba 8
not really been called into being by the
influences and with the objects intimat-
ed by our correspondent, it may at
least be set down as certain that it will
not result in an immediate canalization
of the isthmus of Panama
The Times thinks the congress deeply
in earnest. 1t is composed chiefly of
men whose minds are already made up
as to the feasibility of a canal. The
question with them is not, shall it be
done, but when, and where. The
choice of the congress appears to be, at
this moment, between the Sanblas route
with its enormous tunnel, and the Mic
aragua route with its long succession
of locks on both sides of the lake.

Tn, Indian Government Threatened

/
Simla, May 20.-The disease has ap-
pearcd in most of the cities of Pun
jaub.
Robbery by armed gangs is assuming
alarming proportions in the Ocean, es-
pecially in the Poonab district. For
some time past bands of Dacoity have
been securing the country, committing
daring attacks on houses and villages.
They seem to form part of regular
organization under the command of
one Wassado Bulwund, lately clerk in
the financial department. They are
suspected of having set the fire which
destroyed the government school, Bood-
weir palace, the law courts, post Office,
police Office and fifty houses in Poonab
on the night of the 18th inst. In their
remarkable manifesto to the Bombay
government, threatening another mutt
ny and to put a price on the head of
the governor, unless their distress is re-
lieved, they inform the government
that unless extensive public works are
at once opened, employment provided
for the people, native trade encouraged,
taxes reduced and salaries of highly
paid Europeans cut down, they will not
cease to plunder and will extend to the
Europeans what they have hitherto
confined to the natives. They will kill
the governor of Bombay, hang the
judge of the court of sessions of Poona,
carry murder and rapine throughout
the country, and engage in massacre
of Europeans.
The manifesto ends by warning the
governor that unless he at once COM
plies with the requisition, the price of
one thousand rupees will be put ON his
| head.
| Four persons, including Wassado
Bulwund, append their signature to the
manifesto and seals.
| The governor who was at first in
clined to leave the matter in the hands
of the police, is now taking more active
measures. A considerable number of
troops patrol the country, and a reward
of one thousand rupees has been offered
for the capture of Bulwund.

New York, May 2O.--The inter
oceanic canal congress in Paris is at
tracing much newspaper attention.
The Herald's special cable, to-day,
says:
Judging from the general tone of
the discussion and what heard outside
the Wyse Panama route is the one like
ly to be adopted. Indeed many said to
me before the congress met that the ac-
ceptance of this route was foregone
conclusion. Whether this be true or
not, certainly never saw any conven-
tion of the kind so thoroughly prepared,
for many of the speeches were printed
and circulated before they were spoken
from the rostrum. A decision will
probably be reached on Friday.

suieiding and Absconding Directors.

Rotterdam, May 20.-One of the di-
rectors of the Africanische Handels-
vereeniging tried to commit suicide at
Antwerp. He is now under surveil-
lance in the hospital rs it is expected
his extradition will be demanded.
Another director Of the same company
fled to Spain with his family. The
latter, whose name is Pincoafs, was a
man of great commercial and financial
influence. He was member of the
first chamber and one of the leaders of
the liberal party.

Grand Rapids, Wis, May 20.-John
White, one of the Oldest pilots on the
Wisconsin river, was drowned on Co.
nant's dam this morning while engaged
in running float of lumber, and John
Weston, of Stevens Point, was drowned
on Clinton's Gam, four miles south of
this place. The bodies of the drowned
men have not yet been recovered, and
there is little hope of finding them, as
the river is higher than it has been for
three years. Lumbermen will have no
trouble in getting their logs doomed
this year.

A Horrible Death.

Alton, Ill.,, May 20.-John Green, a
brakeman on the Chicago and Alton
railroad, met with terrible death this
morning at Roodhouse. While coup
ling cars his foot caught in frog, and
before he could extricate it the train
started. The unfortunate man was
thrown under the cars and the wheels
passed over him, cutting off his head
and one arm. Green was resident OF
this city, and it is understood the re-
mains will be brought here for inter-

Freedmen,s Bank Ruildinr,

Washington, May 20.-The select
committee of the senate appointed to
investigate all matters pertaining to
the Freedmen's saving trust company,
met this morning, every member being
present, and Senator Bruce presiding.
Cresswell, Leopold and Purvis, the
commissioners appointed under act of
congress to close up the affairs of the
institution, made statement of their
operations to date, presenting sched-
ules showing the condition of the COM
pany, and making suggestions rs to the
course that should be pursued in the
future. They said, with regard to the
two principal items in the assets, (real
estate and notes. that the latter were
In process of collection, but as to the
real estate they doubted whether it
would be possible to realize upon it at
present without suffering heavy loss.
They stated that dividend of thirty
per cent. had already been paid, and
they hoped before long to be able to pay
another dividend of twenty per cent,
making fifty per cent. in all. They
urged that as means of enabling them
to do this the government purchase the
freedmen's bank building in Washing
ton, the greater part of which is now
rented for the use of the department of
Justice.
Two drafts of bills were submitted
by the commissioners, designed to trans
fer the affairs of the company to the
comptroller of currency, or such other
officer of the government as congress
might direct.
