British Embassy was then attacked by over
whelming numbers.
The Ameer declares he was completely sur
prised by the outbreak. He endeavored 10
quell it, aud sent Gen. Daudshah to lend his
assistance, but Gen. Daudshah was endorsed
and fatally wounded. The Ameer then sent
his son with the Governor of Cabul and other
influential personages, but the mob was Who'll
ly uncomfortable. The attack on the British
Embassy continued throughout Wednesday,
when they first broke out on the princes. The
Ameer writing Thursday says he is in great
distress and is himself besieged. The Vice.
roy of India is at present ignorant of the fate
of Maj. C%ayagnari and other members Of the
Embassy. Gen. Roberts has already started
for Peiwar. The advance OH Cabul will he
made very speedily and will be strongly sup

A sensutionaI scanda, In Da,r0,t

DETROIT, June 24.-George Beecher is
about thirty years of age, tall, heavy and
brawny. He is married, has nice wife and
two children, and lives handsomely on JEFF
ferson avenue. Jeanette Burgess is a Scotch
girl, tall, fair, moderately good looking,
modest, and about eighteen years old. Some
two weeks ago she came into Beecher's house
as servant, and this morning she came be.
fore magistrate and sWore to the following
story: Saturday, during the absence from
home of his wife, Beecher came into the
kitchen, made improper proposals to her,
dragged her into the dining-room and was
using force with her, when her screams
brought his children to the room, and he de-
sisted, He afLerward came and wanted her
to shake hands and forgive, but sac would
not. Sunday morning, while Mrs. Beecher
was at church, Beecher encountered
her In the hall, and made g
desperate attempt to force her to submit
to his wishes. She states that the struggle
lasted about twenty minutes, during which
time her clothes were torn off and her person
exposed, as was her assailant's, and other de-
tails unnecessary to give, but that she
finally defeated HIM. She then left the
house, and having taken counsel, pursued
the course she has On this showing a war
rant was issued. Beecher was arrested 10
answer to civil suit for FIVE thousand dol
lars damages, and his bail fixed at two thou
send dollars. Now George is no relation of
Henry Ward Beecher, but ne is the son of
Luther Beecher, a man worth two million
dollars, and, it is thought, much more, and
accompanied by an officer went to his father
for the necessary bail. But the good old man
says: mo, my son, it is q conspiracy against
the honor of the family. Go to Jail, my son;
go to jail" And TO Jail went George, who
asserts that the whole thing is blackmailing
job. The prominence of the Beechers in
financial, business, religious and charitable
circles, gives this case great prominence,
not only in the city, but throughout the
State.

for the past century most governments, that
of Louis XVI among them, have thought it
necessary to take similar precaution against
Jesuit domination. One member of the COM
mlttee, Nader de MonGan, wants to go fur
ther and to extend the prohibition against
teaching to all congregations, authorized or
not, and even to the secular clergy; in fact
to Danish the priest absolutely from the
schools. The committee declines to adopt
this suggestion.
Articles 8, 9 and 10, deal chiefly with tech
meal formahtles and are of no particular IN
terest. The whole sting of the bill is in the
clauses above cited.
Appended to tne report is a table of the
progress of the principal non-authorized
teaching congregations from the time of the
concordat to our own day." that is to say
for the last seventy-seven years. Here we
see at once what interests will be chiefly
affected by the measure. The JesuIts have
SO establishments, with 1902 members. All
these, in so far as their existence as teaching
establishments is concerned, will be swept
away. The Domlnlcans come next, with %
establishments and 327 members. Then the
MARSHES, 19 establishments and 222 mem
bers; the Eudists, 7-153, the first number
for establishments, the last for members; the
Bssilians, 4-65; the BRrnabites, 3-32; the
Oblates of st. Hilary, 3-22; the Congrega-
tions of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and of
Mary, 5-105; the Preachers of the Oratory
PA; the Congregation of st. Berlin, 2-91 !;
finally, the Benedictlnes, IA establishments
and 239 members. The Oldest of all these
establishments dates from the year 1915, and
many are three centuries old.

ternatlonal courtesies and expressions OF hope
that the society would be beneficial to the
trade of authorship. Senior Jose Maria
Torres ;Caicedo, 10 the course of short
address, referred to England as the protector
and guardian Of liberty of thought and the
author of free trade, and the place above all
others at which such congress as this should
be held. M. About supplemented the
Spaniard's remarks by saying that Senior
Caicedo's modesty had prevented him from
telling them that Spain is the only country
In the world where literary property Is satls-
factorily organized in the interests OF them
selves and the rest of the world. M. Wences-
las Szymanowski spoke next, and did so Tor
the Slavonic race. His country, Poland, he
said, had a literature that was illustrlous,
though misfortune had arrested its progress.
He was glad, however, to say that men OF
letters were once more assuming their former
position there, and they took an especial in
terest in the objects and work of thu congress
of London. Other speakers addressed the
meeting, which, after some formal business
was adjourned, and during the week the
members will devote themselves to the tech
meal and practical business of the organiza-
tion, which has for its object, first, the pro-
motion and defense of the principles of inter-
national literary copyright, and to give effect
to the decisions of international literary con-
crosses; secondly, to establish an honorary
permanent committee, an executive COM
mittee, and an afiiation with all other
societies interested in literature and art;
and, thirdly, to establish headquarters in
Paris, with library of reference, and
home or rendezvous where men of letters
may resort. The idea is broad and COM
prehensive enc, and now that America Is tax
ing up the question Of international copy
right, you may expect to learn that it is pro-
posed to hold, possibly, the very next con-
gress in New York. 1t was to be expected
that there would be some carping at the list
of the English reception committee. 1t is a
pity Mr.. Blanchard Jerrold did not strengthen
it by many other names than those which APP
peared on the list; though it was manifestly
unfair on the part of the Standard to select
as an example of the whole the least known
of the men who had been invited to help re-
ceive the distinguished authors from the con-
tinent. It should be quite good enough for
all purposes of sponsorship that Victor Hugo
is president, and that Tennyson is officially
on the reception committee. With the
laureate are associated Froude, Morris, Troll
lope, Lord Fitzmaurice, member of paria-
ment; NJ 'Carthy, Tom Taylor, Miss Braddon,
DR.. Mackay, and several members of the
house of commons. Surely here are the be-
ginnlngs of an important British section.

The people of Shelby county have hereto

in recommending them to vote for the settle
ment which the legislature agreed upon.
The Nashville american, in an able article,
says that if we accept the compromise eve
at once preserve our credit and restore the
conditions necessary to immigration, to de-
velopment, to an influx of capital. If we
are honestly poor and withhold payment
on that account, the result will demon
strate it. If we accept TIL o9n-
promise and thar -heee Inc inter-
&c vn tue balance remaining, we at once
demonstrate our disposition to pay and main
tain our credit, without which we cannot ex-
pect capital and immigration to any great
extent to develop our resources. The balance
of the debt is the blackboard on which we
demonstrate our determination to meet our
obligations, and by which we restore our
credit. 1t certainly will not be claimed by
any low-credlt man that this is an objection.
If in obtaining all they have asked they at
the same time maintain the credit of the
State, it is certainly not an objection. We
think they have attached too little Importance
to that which we regard as of first impor-
lance, but it will surely not be commended by
any that 1t is desirable to destroy the credit
of people and their reputation for good
faith. This settlement both secures all they
have demanded and restores the credit of
the State, the prime condition of future

You are now freemen. Nobody has right

good, intelligent men to ascertain what ad-
vantages and disadvantages present them
selves to the colored emlgrant. But of one
thing | assure you: you will have the white
man to contend with wherever you go. The
sun is the colored mans friend. In the land

in the cold climate of the north he cannot
compete with his white neighbor. Stay
