RUSSIA
The Government Proposes To Con-
fiscate the Church Property.
Travellers in Russia Subjected to 6
Strict Surveillance.

LONDON, Aug. IA dispatch from st. Pc
tersburg states that the scheme for the secu-
larization OF a number of converts and monas-
teries belonging to the Greek Church In Rus
sia has been for some time in contemplation
by the Russian government. number Of
these houses are extraordinarily large, and
the extent OF arabic lands with which they are
endowed, and from which they derive rev.
enue, Is great. Popular complaints against
the management Of these estates have been
frequent, and the esteem In which the monks
are held by the common people is not great.
The motive, however, Of the government in
the proposed confiscation and sale Of these
properties is not 50 much to crafty popular
opinion as 1t is to replenish it's own treasury.
THE SEVERITY OF THE PASSPORT SYSTEM.
The recent orders issued by the police de-
partment of the Russian government respect
ing the surveillance to be exercised over all
persons entering or departing from Russia
continue to be exercised with extreme harsh
ness and vigilance. The slightest informality
Ia passport, or any circumstance considered
suspicious by the authorities at the frontiers,
or in the interior towns through which trav-
elers pass, Is sufficient to cause the arrest of
the suspected person, and his probable deten-
ton for many days.
DIPHTHERIA IN BESSARABIA.
Diphtheria is raging in an epidemic form In
Bessarabia and other Russian provinces.

Fiorida's singular River.

One feature of the st. Johns river, Florida,
is remarkably strange, If not an actual puzzle
to photographers. 1t has been ascertained
by actual scientific survey that the surface OF
the water at it's mouth Is only three feet six
inches lower than what it Is go miles above
In other words, that the river has but
an average fall Of less than the sixth Of an
inch to the mile.
Another singular fact worthy of considera-
ton, 1t has a eourse-taktng Its many mean
derings into account-of between three and
four hundred miles; yet its source Is not
more than twelve miles from the shores of the
same ocean into which it empties itself. Some
Of its tributaries yet unexpiored may be
found to have their heads still nearer to the
sea.
The current OF this stream Is OF the most
sluggish kind, scarcely ever exceeding q mile
to the hour, and often go stagnant that the
traveller will think himself sailing upon an
island lake. It's great breadth, in many
places quite league, leads to this deIuslon;
which indeed is not atbogether delnsion,
since, instead of river, it might justly be re-
garded as a series OF lakes, with slight diff
ference OF elevation, flowing into one another
Some of its more open expanses are SO charac-
terized having the names of lakes given
them. The principal as also the most cele-
brated, is the st. George, nearly one hundred
and fifty miles from its mouth. Further up
are Lakes Enterprise, Monroe and Harney.
with many others that have lately been placed
upon the maps.

THE WALLACE COMMITTEE.
Investigating Republican State Where
Foreigners are Disfranchised and
Where Negro Has Never
Held Office.

PROVIDENCE, R. l., Aug 1.-THE leading
manufacturers and their agents from Woon-
socket were before the Wallace committee to-
day. The purpose was to rebHt the testimony
given by their employees Saturday. It has
been claimed by the Republicans that most of
the foreigners are Democrats. The manufac-
tnrers are invariably Republicans, yet they
az nit that most Of their employees are for
eign-born. At the same time they admit that
their help mostly vote the Republican ticket.
Joshua NJ. Alderman, Secretary of State in
his evidence, said that he was born in the
South Sea Islands, and claimed that his
fathers naturalization in 1874 made himself a
citizen. Regarding eoiored citizens NJ. Adj
deman stated that they most invariably voted
the Republican ticket, but failed to recall
instances where coiored men occupied posi-
tion on the police force, school committee, in
the General Assembly or the city council
The papers throughoutthec country are ask
ing what business this committee has with
questions of fraud, bribery and suffrage in
Rhode Island. It may be stated that SO much
Of the memorial OF Dr. J. b. Green, as related
to these matters in Rhode Island. was re-
ferred to the Wallace committee. Up to this
time the subcommittee has taken testimony
on the disfranchisement of foreign-born citi-
Zens. the intimidation of voters by employers
and bribery in elections. Senators Wallace
and Mcdonald say that they are fully con-
WINGED that the charges OF intimidation, fraud
and bribery, set forth in the letter of trans
INITIAL by Dr. j. b. Green. have been fully
sustained

and the destruction indescribable. Owing to
the solidity OF the convent, the damage to it
il hut slight. A magnificent new barn near
the convent was broken into pieces. The
church steeple was raised one side for many
feet and the church otherwise damaged con-
sderably outside and In. The presbytery Is
merely mass of ruin. Father Miehaud sat
at his desk In the presbytery writing letters,

To show the violence OF the cyclone 1t
should be stated that tremendous houses
we're raised thirty feet and dashed to pieces.
AtSt. Mary g Church the trunks Of trees, poles,
pieces OF wood and the remains of demolished
houses traversed the air with the rapidity Of
lightning. A large heavy hay cart, left near
the barn at st. Mary's, was transported

was smashed to atoms.
The number OF dead and wounded Is Won

The dead are the wife of Etienne Duplessis,

She was found dead In her demolished house.
Jeanne, a squaw, had her head broken by

DE LessepN' Plan.

Especial Dispatch to the Cincinnati Enquirer ]
WASHINGTON, Aug. 8-The President Is re-
ported as having expressed the opinion that
in very short time the agitation OF De Les
seps' plan for building the Darien canal
you'd cease altogether. He had read with
much interest the discussions on this subject
in leading papers, and saw that the people
fully realized the importance of the work, and
the still more important point Of never coun-
tenancing any great Improvement in terri
tory south of the United States, which might
in future years complicate our relations with
European governments. The proposition to
send board OF engineers, composed of prom
nent officers OF the army and navy and OF sew
eral men from civil lite to review the five sur
veys already made for interceanic canal routes
was still under consideration. II the board
was composed exclusively Of army and navy
officers it was thought there would be no oc-
easien to delay appointment, but for expenses
of civil officers an appropriation would have
to be made by Congress, and selection OF civil
engineers on the board was regarded as inn
portant. The subject would undoubtedly
form a part Of his annual message to Con-
gress, and the general interest which the con-
struetion Of an interoceanic canal had already
aroused would insure early attention of Con-
pracg fo If

FRANCE.
Gambetta in Favor of the Continuance of
the Coneordat with the Pope.

LONDON, Aug. IA dispatch from Paris
states that the question OF abrogating the
concordat established between the Vatican
and the French government under the reign
of the late Napoleon is, at present, somewhat
warmly discussed in political circles III
France NJ. Gambetta contrary to e1pecta-
tions which were entertained Of his course on
tais question, opposes the abrogation of the
distinction of the concordat, and fayors its
modification and improvement. In Catholic
circles it is believed that there is room for adj
vantageous notifications of the existing ar
rangements which govern the relations be-
tween the Church and State In France, and
intimations have been given to the Vatican
that the proposals for these notifications
would not be unwelcomely received.

ST JoHSs, n. b., Aug. 11-1he following
further particulars o. Wednesdays great tor

afternoon
About p. n. the sky was covered with dark,

heard in the distance. This presaged tenn

plunged the people OF the north bank in terror.
Some thick clouds plowed the sky, and two
especially, enormously large and black, ap-
preached each othtr from opposite directions
and came into collision at Rich Cave two
miles above st. Mary'S church. The shock
was terrible, and formed a water-spout Of

Every inhabited house OF Dallalr settlement
