FIGHTING ON LEBANON.

CONFLICT BETWEEN MUssULMANs AND DRUsEs-

MISSION OF THE HAURANEEs.
correspondent forwards to the London Morning.
Post lengthy account OF the late conflict between
Mussulmans and Druses in the Hauran, an event,
he says, (which marks an epoch in the progress
toward civilization OF a noted tribe of marauders
which has never before boen brought to answer for
its delinquences" 1t appears that the conflict had
its origin chiefly in the abduction by Druse of q
young Arab girl and her recapturc by some Mussul-
man peasants. Tho Druses made an attack the
village of Bassir and Midhat Pschas officers rein
forced the Hauranecs. Tho following account
of tho facts is gven:-A column of Druses,
500 strong, advanced to mako a Gemonstra-
tion against the Hauranees, who en-
campcd at u short distance from headquarters. To
this demo onstration, menacng unexpected attack,
the Hauranees responded and a combat ensued. The
latter. probably finding themselves incapable OF re-
sisting. demanded succor Inc commander' D)emu
Pacha. Immediately despatched to the place OF COM
bat detachment of gendarmes, followed by two
companies OF regular infantry, giving instructions
to the gendarmes To order tho Hauranees to retreat
and thus to cause hostilites to The efforts
made by the officer in command of the gendarnes to
stop the fight had produced the desired effect and
the Haurances commenced to retreat, when the two
companies OF regular infantry arriving Mt
menced firing with or without orders. This
naturally caused engagement In which unfor-
tunatey the officer was killed On hearing this

first order in establishing peace leaving the camp
Immediately with two other companies. came to the
spot to arrest hcstilities and establish under.

a voey from the Druses, found IL necessary to de-
spatch aide-de-carnp tor reinforcements. and
the battle became general 1t resulted in the re-
treat of the Druses with loss of 800 killed. and in
the occupation or their village by regular
troops Tho loss to the battalion amounted to sixty
men killed and wounded. No engagement has since
ensued, and all hostties have ceased. certain

THE WRIT OF PROHIBITION.

There was an extended argument during the day
before Judge Brady insSupreme Court. Chambers on
the question Of making permanent or otherwise the
temporary writ Of prohibition against the Pilot
Commissioners recently granted on behalf OF George
H. ssco, one of the pilots Of the pilot steamboat
Hercules. It will be remembered that the Pilot
Commissioners directed Mr. Sisco to show why
he should be tried before the Board upon charge
of violating recent bylaw prohibiting the use of
steamboats, in the pilotage service. The writ OF
prohibition was to prevent this trial. Mr.. William
Allen Butler, who represented the Commissioners,
claimed that Mr.. Sisco had mistaken his remedy,
which he claimed should either be by certiorari
mandamus proceedings against the Board after 1t
had suspended him or revoked his license. The
Board he argued under this act, has right to pass
any bylaw it considers beneficial to commerce.
After q statement by Mr.. Thomas H. Bracksn Of the
facts Of the controversy between pilots in favor of
steam vessels and those opposed
tended argument in reply to Mr.. But
ler was made by Mr.. John E. Parsons.
His chief point that the bylaw mo. 42) under
which the Pilot Board is acting Is post fscto hav
ing been passed subsequent to the of the steam
boat Hercules pilot boat. and that it cannot be
made applicable to the present case He called at
tention to the fact that steam pilot boats are
tensivey in in Europe and also in the harbor at
New Orleans. and that they IRE found vastly more
serviceable than sailing vessels.
At the close OF the argument Judge Brady took the
papers for examination.

OF discussion yesterday during the deliberations OF

that the police belts very heavy aud that It
would be undesirable to compel the members Of tho
force to wear them in summer tiaio la order to
comply with the letter and the spirit OF Mr.. frechs
resolution and in this strain he vent ola u argue
the question. when ho interrupted by Mr.
French, who said:--

''I call up my question. Mr.. Chairman. and put
1t in the form of resolution. which request Cap.
tain Kipp to read" Tho latter read the following
resolution, which was presented. but laid over at
the last meeting OF the Board THAT when OH duty
tho baton shall be carried IN tho socket when the
belt is worn, and in q pocket to be made for that
purpose in the right ride of tho pantaoons and In

MIR. MacLoan favored the amendment that "the
baton or pistol should be drawn when the same
cessity required as governed any other citizen.
After considerable dispute it was decided 10 consult
with superintendent waing. and that gentleman
being called he was officially interrogated.
