Information has been received here that
both Italy and England have, through
their Representatives in Peru and Chill,
offered to attempt an amicable settlement
OF the difficulties between the two repub-

! LONDON, August 10.-A dispatch from
Buenoa Ayres states that the National
Congress Of the Argentine Confederation
has refused to accept the resignation OF
President Avela nda, which was rendered
some days ago. This news is looked upon
as probably true, as the new President,
General Roca, who was elected this year
and was the Government candidate as well
as Minister OF War, will be installed
In October. The necessity Tor 80 short an
interregnum, which eau neither benefit
the retiring President nor the country. II
is, however, thought probable that fresh
outbreaks OF popular violence will attend
Rocas administration, inasmuch as the
formal. declaration Of his election led to
the disturbance in which Il was falsely
rumored that Congress had been over
thrown.
LoNDoS, August l0.-A later dispatch
from Buenos Ayres states that alter con-
siderable debate and correspondence de-
between President Avellanda and the
Congress, the former has withdrawn his
resignation. In his letter Of withdrawal
he says that, with the help Of the Chambers
and lovers OF order throughout the
country, he will retain his Office.

BERLIN, August l9.-The papers art
again full OF disheartening reports Of the
harvest in Silesia, Pasen and the east an6
west OF Prussia. Crops in certain dis
tricts OF these provinces may be said tc
be wholly destroyed. Lives have been
lost on railways and river embankments
swept away, bridges broken down, villages
flooded, farms inundated and vast tracts
OF grain growing land converted into
lakes and swamps by torrents OF rain. A
great famine is feared in all the above
named provinces.
BERLIN, August ia correspondent
who penetrated to the turthermost parts
OF silesia estimated in one potato district
alone the damage done at 1900 marks,
while 1000 acres OF arabic land and pas
ture ground were inundated by the over.
flow Of the Oder. In the neighborhood oil
0ppiln 5000 acres Of potato fields are
covered with water, while clumps OF vii
lages are isolated. The rain was so VIC.
lent that Ia few hours the river raised
six feet. In Poser an immense expanse Of
meadow land Is inundated. Not only is
grain destroyed but straw also.
1t Is feared in some places that the wet
ness OF the ground may disastrously delay
or altogether prevent its preparation for
next years seeds. In the District OF Kuhn,
West Prussia, twenty.four hours Of rain
completely ruined the harvest, especially
wheat. In some parts Of East and West
Prussia the fields are 80 impassible IL Ia
impossible to garner what remains Of the
grain. Potatoes are beginning to rot. 1t
will thus appear that the official estimate
OF the German harvest prospects recently
published will have to be greatly lowered.
Rye Is almost wholly destroyed. Wheat
aud barley have little real value in
market for the laboring portions oil the
community. The potato crop Is most
serious and aid Of the government is al
ready being earnestly invoked.

How Human Lives Are Imperilcd on the

WASHINGTON, August l9.-Captain
Travers, of the steamer Jane Moseley, Of
Washington, has written to the local in
spectors Of steam vessels in Baltimore,
complaining Of the mismanagement OF the
steamer 7. v. Arrowsmith, OF Washing
ington. Captain Travers says that the Ar
rowsmith being very fast, the officers
amuse themselves by running the boat
around other boats; that on Thursday last,
on the Potomac, the Arrowsmith ran three
miles out OF her course 20 cross the bow Of
the Moseley, and, had the Moseley not
slowed, the Arrowsmith would have been
cut in two pieces. Thelsteamboat inspect

HERE is the way in which the Demo-

turbance at the colored camp meeting up
there:
"a regular knock down and drag out
affair came of at the niger camp meeting
yesterday. We don't take much stock in
these niger meetings; in fact they are a
greater nuisance by far than saloons"
Somehow q first class Democratic editor,
like Glass OF the Naps, can never learn to
spell. They always will spell negro with
two g's. But why should saloon be
considered nuisance by Democratic
editor?

Of this paper, handsome Sunday School
card with an appropriate motto printed
thereon, "Love your enemies" We are
afraid that JAke's Sunday School educa.
ton has been neglected, and that he would
hardly understand this ticket II we were
to forward it to him. However, If he will
refer to the sixth chapter and twenty
seventh verse OF tho Gospel Of st. Luke,
he will find tho motto referred to, and
perhaps realize how unchristian it was
for him to proclaim the gospel of hate at
Fairmont. He may be too old to learn a
lesson in Scripture on this subject, but he
will probably be taught a lesson at the
polls that he will better understand and
appreciate.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, August l9.-st

on Hampden Park course, 2:l5,while trot-

The track is considered three to FIVE sec
onds slower than Rochester, SO that this
record Is considered really his best work
Maud s. undertook to lower her Rochester
record OF 2:l13 for special purse oil s. 900,
but failed signally after going once around
the track. She trotted an exercise heat,
time 2:29, and shortly after undertook
loudly spoken words Of 'fgo on" by
the crowd which overlapped the track
on the quarter stretch she broke immedi-
ately, and was ordered back alter passing
the quarter pole by Capt. Stone. The
third found she broke on tho third turn,
and the whole heat was so unsatisfactory
that the judges took no time, much to the
disappointment OF the betting crowd.
TH enty minutes later she made final at.
tempt, and trotted without a single break
and very handsomely. Time 2:l0. The
turns Of the track are very bad, particu-
larly the first, so that flyers can only make
extraordinary time while on the back

seemed not to be herself, being quite q
different creature than when she showed
up at Rochester.

the manner in which it bulldozed and

State at the recent election. They give
detailed account OF how 1t was done, re.
hearing the facts at several precincts. In
some instances five times as many votes
were counted for the Democratic ticket as
there were male citizens. This is almost
equal to the Democratic voting that was
done in the famous Sixth ward in
New York City, where, as Conkling
said in the United States Senate, more
votes were cast than the total population,
including all the men, women, children,
cats and dogs in the ward. In case Han
