THE CLAYToN.BULwER TREATY.

LONDON, April l9.-The Times says:
The prospective abrogation Of the Clay
ton-Bulwer treaty is the result, which
may be credited thus far to the visit OF De
Lesseps to America.
De Lesseps says he has three hundred
million francs pledged subscriptions in
America.
The construction OF the canal is work
in which the whole civilized world Is in.
terested. The concern OF England or any
other country in the matter is less than
the United States, but 1t is real and con.
siderable. We can hardly find in any
circumstance justification Of exclusive
rights, the control OF which the Ameri-
cans seem inclined to assert. We can
quite understand the dislike they have TO
the intrusion Of foreign influences into
any part Of their hemisphere. The es.
tablishnent there Of any fresh European
power might be cause OF danger and dill.
ticulty to them, but the jealousy they feel
in the matter OF canal is not thus TO be
explained and excused. The treaty they
dislike and are on the point Of abrogating
foIbids in express words the very thing
they fairly seek to guard against, but 1t
forbids, too, any selfish and un-
equal use by any nation OF a projected
new way, and 1t is this we fear which is
the real cause OF disfayor which has been
bestowed on il.

LONDON, April ia dispatch from
Constantinople, says: The greatest ankle
ty prevails respecting the future policy oil
England toward Turkey. Khereddin
Pasha and Mahmond Pasha have been lre-
quently summoned to the Palace lately,
and rumors speak Of impending changes
in the Cabinet. The Turks are almost
at the end Of their resources. There is
little money coming in from the impover-
ished provinces, and the Custom House
receipts are inadequate for the require
ments Of the departments. On Monday
last several army and navy contractors
went to the Palace and demanded an in
teryiew with the Sultan, for the purpose
OF securing statement OF their accounts.
Some OF them were received by the
Chamberlain, and stated that they were
ruined by the Porte, and were unable
to provide further provisions. As there Is
no money TO meet IN emergency, 1t Is
greatly feared that the supply OF provis-
ions to the army will be stopped. The
sum due the contractors Is more than fl,-
100000, Merchants now supply for cash
only.
Rations were heretofore supplied to
officers and their families, but are now
to officers only. Their families
are consequently suffering great depriva.

Several new battalions were
hurried away by steamer last week to
Salonica, and others are preparing to fol-

The Porte is showing itself more and
more incapable OF governing the empire.
The general feeling even among large

great powers take the power out OF the
hands the better for everyone.

Indian Outrage-Kearney Committed 10

San Francisco, April l9.-The Indians
near Ehrenburg, on the Colorado river,
Arizona, have murdered NJ. Galloway, and
sent their women and children north and
defy the small forces sent from Ehrenburg
to arrest the murderers. The agent at the
Colorado Indian reservation has with.
drawn to Ehrenburg for safety and called
for military guard.
In the police court this morning the
prosecuting attorney asked for q commit
ment for kearney. The latter was not
present at the time, but in few minutes
appeared with his counsel, who asked for
q delay TO enable him to make an applica.
ton to the Supreme Court for writ OF

quest as unusual and extraordinary.

this city, swore out warrants to-day against
seven late employees Of that concern,
charging them with conspiracy to iniure
the business and reputation Of the Vulcan
Steel Works by attempting to effect an in
crease in their wages by leaving their
places contrary to agreement under which
they were working. This action is the re.
suit Of an recent attempted strike at the
Vulcan Works by part of the men en-
ployed there, alter they had agreed to
work for certain wages. The parties gave
bail.
The storm that wrecked Marshfeld and
caused such destruction OF property at
other places in southwest Missouri laot
evening struck this city at half.past II
o'clock, and, while It did no serious dam
age, 1t shook things up considerably. A
large number Of trees, fences, signs and
chimneys were blown down and numerous
houses more or less injured. The wind
was very strong. Almost deluge Of rain
fell and some hail.

DE LEssEps ENCOURAGED.


PARIS, Aprill9.-Le Figaro publishes a
letter this morning from NJ. De Lesseps,
in which the writer says that all OBJ.
stacles to the construction Of the Panama
Canal have been swept away. The FEAST
bility Of its execution has been demon.
strated theoretically and practically. All
obstacles have been removed by the will
OF the American people as unanimously
expressed in public meetings, and also TO
the United States Government. He can
follow no other policy than that which Is
dictated by public opinion. This Is also
the general tenor Of speech delivered by
N. De Lesseps at the Sorbonne last night.
He there affirmed that he had SOC, 900, 900
francs awaiting him at New York for the
prosecution OF his enterprise.

PIrrsBuReu, April 19.-The Western
File Works, destroyed by Gre at Beaver
Falls this morning, was one OF the most
extensive in the State, and was filled with
valuable machinery. The building was to.
tally destroyed, with over $4,000 worth OF
finished stock. The total loss will reach
near S350000, on which there Is Sl25, 700
insurance. The fire was first discovered
breaking through the cornice over the
packing room, but whether II originated
there or from sparks from the smoke
stack OF the AZ works opposite is
not known. Astrong gale was blowing at
the time and the flames soon enveloped
the entire building, the workmen barely
escaping with their lives and leaving their
tools behind. The close proximity Of the
Ak, gas and saw works caused quite q
panic, and at one time 1t was feared
nothing could save them; fortunately the
wind subsidized and the fremen and citi-
Eens soon had the flames under control.
