HARTFORD. Conn.,, March 90. 1879.
Rumors were current the streets this evening
that the cloping daughter OF Governor Hubbard and
her husband had returned to the city this afternoon.
The stories very generally accepted true. but
less credit was given additional rumor In cir
culation that negotiations for q reconciliation
in progress. Information from authoritative
sources obtained ut alate hour this evening proves
that stories above referred wholly without
foundation. Careful inquiry indicates that they
were based upon nothing better than idle report
that the couple had returned at night by
carriage and by unfrcqucnted route, and
were reported by ncighbors to be
cealed in the residence of tho bridcgroom's
parents Since this unfortunate affair came
to light Governor Hubbard has abandoned his bust
ness pursuits and confines himself closely to his
residence. distressing feature of the affair is that
his wife is completely prostrated with anxiety and
grief and has not left her room for the past three
days. Sympathy is everywhere expressed for
both, and is coupled with the hope that
they may have speedy relief from the
anxiety which necessarily results from the absence
OF the slightest clcw to their daughters where
abouts. The local papers have studiously rcfraincd
from alluding to the in any way and tho
demand for the HERALD and other New York journals
is unprecedented as from such sources alone bc
had any accurate information in denial of the ridicu
lous rumors which are daily set In circulation.

against the abandonment of the cause of Roumeia.

Tho Vienna Political Correspondence :-"Negota-
tions are making most satisfactory progress be-
tween Prussia and England relative to the
to be adopted in Roumela after the departure of
the Russians. but the project of military occupation
by neutral Powers has been completely abandoned.
On the other hand, the correspondent of the Times
telegraphs from Berlin to the effect that Count
Schouvaoff's mission has been successful. The
mixed occupation Of Roumelia will be carried into
effect by English. French. Italian. Austrian and
Russian troops. 1t is true that France, though &C
quiescing in the idea. has not yet promised
tngent. and England believed to be hesitating on
certain points, but the proposal has been accepted
by all the Powers.
TIE EASTERN RoUMEIIAN COMMISSION.
despatch from Philippopolis states that
majority Of the International Commission has
issued declaration. stating that In consequence of
difficulties created by the authorities of Eastern
Rohmeia. and in view Of the excited state of the
population, it has been found impossible to execute
the stpuations Of the article Of the Treaty of Ber
lin which provides that European Commission
shall be charged together with tho Porte with the
administration of the finances Of the Province until
the completion of the organization. The Com
mission draws the attention of the European Cabi-
nets to the matter. NJ. Schmidt, the Director Gen.
eral OF the Finances of Eastern Roumela, who con-
templated rendering his resignation, has been re-
quested to continue the duties of the Office until the
Commission is dissolved.
THE GREEK BOUNDARY
The Paris correspondent Of the Times telegraphs:-
''The last offers of Turkey to Greece. though un-
acceptable, were more liberal than formerly and
show that Turkey feels her inability to evade the
Treaty Of Berlin. The Powers know that Greece
may at any moment appeal to their mediation,
which they cannot refuse. but would gladly avoid as
united action might involve unforeseen contin-
gencies: semi-ofcial mediation is therefore prob
able. It is known that all the Powers not en-
tirely favorable to the Greek demands, for
instance the ccsson OF Janna. There is good
to believe that the Porte will be advised to make con-
cessions in Thessay instead Of Janina and upon the
other points, which it refuses The Sultan ia perhaps
awaiting European pressure to protect him from the
reproaches Of the Old Turk party"
