FOREIGN NEWS.
The Crops.

Inc crops.
BERLIN. July S. The corn harvest will be
very small in the northern districts. Prussia
will have only half an ordinary harvest, it is
expected. A great deficit in Russia, Galicia
and Hungary is also reported.
Political.
new struggle will begin in different cleo
toral districts for il is noticeable that the
great mass of Deputies are no longer in har-
mony with their constituents. The National
liberals have fallen into bad position, be-
cause in recent debates their votes have
clearly shown that great differences exist be-
tween them.
The Emperor leaves Ems in a few DAYS and
after a short stay at Mainana Island will go
to Gostin, where he will meet the Emperor Of
Austria. The meeting will be of private
character.
Panic.
LONDON, Julys There was semi-panic
on the Berlin and Paris Bourses, yesterday,
owing to uneasy feeling in regard to the atti-
tude of the Porte.
English Commons.
In Commons to-day Gladstone said the
news of a Russian defeat BY Chinese was not
believed either by the Chinese or Russian
representatives. In the event of war break
ing out, he said government will avail them
selves of Russia's offer to enter into commu-
nication respecting British interests.
Agitation in Ireland.
A Dublin despatch to the Times says the
land agitation is kept up in Ireland and land
leagues are being formed in every town. The
tone of the speakers at the meetings is sug-
gestive of lurking mischief, which will have
to be closely watched. It plainly indicates a
political purpose beyond the mere acquisition
| Of land and to which the latter object is sub
ordinate, but contributory. People are taught
to expect that with the removal of landlordisn
which they are laboring TO effect, the last
stronghold of British power and bulwark OF
British connection will be removed.
Denial.
| VIENNA, July E. The news published in
London that the Porte has sent to the powers
| protest against the decisions of the Berlin
conference. is absolutely unfounded.
| The War Cloud.
| PEEA July s. The Porte stillIhesitates as t.
what attitude it shall assume toward the Der
lin award. Its ultimate decision greatly de-
ponds on Goshen's ability to impress the Sui
tan and ministers with the conviction that the
powers will resort to force if necessary. L
the Turks see the slightest chance Of division
among the powers, they will resist the occu
patton by Greece of the territory awarded
| to it.
Though a majority of the ministers hav,
steadily favored the idea Of resistance, tn,
Porte has not yet committed itself to any def
mite policy. and chances still exist that wise
counsels will prevail. Goshen has earnestl,
warned the Sultan Of the great danger of en-
couraging the Mussulmen of the border prov
inces to impede the transfer Of district
xwardej to Greece.
Amnesty Bill.
PARIS, July 8. In the Senate to-day, tn
amnesty bill as adopted by the Deputies wa
introduced and referred to q committee
which assembled Immediately to report.

There are few cities in Maine or in New
England that have street or avenue that
can compare in beauty with State street, in
midsummer. The elms and naples form
perfect arch overhead, and the houses still
further add to the beauty. When the three
houses which Mayor Vickery is building and
DIR. Webster's residence is completed, the
