The Judicial inquiry concerning
the death ofAbdul Aziz, if persevered
in and conided to regular officials,
as the Sultan at present intends, will
certainly produce some curious dis
closures. The two brothers-in-law
Of the Sultan, Mahmoud Pasha and
Mouri Pasha, who have been arrest
ed on suspicion Of having been among
the chief instigators of" the crime,
have begun to incriminate each other,
and to recall revolving incidents
directly or indirectly connected with
the tragic event. Mouri, for example,
accuses Mahmoud Of having caused
a slave to be disembowelled in order

riots had broken out at Eiizayetorad,
a town Of about 10000 inhabitants,
situated in the government ofkher-
son, the following particulars have
been published here upon the autho-
rity of Prince Dondouhoff Korsakof,
the provisional Governor-General OF
Odessa. Jhe disturbances COM
menced at A p. m. last Wednesday,
and the cOrtcnts OF several Jews
shop were stolen, damaged, or des-
troved. The police called in the aid
Of the troops, who made every effort
to stop the piIlaging. This was, how
ever, only effected on the following
evening, and with great difficulty, on
account of the number OF peasants
who had focked into the town from
the surrounding villages in order to
participate IN the general plumber.
nuring the night of the 2Sth inst,
there arrived at E|lizayetgyad three
squadrons of UhIanS, anC Yesterday
a battalion of infantry. Ore Jew vas
killed, but the number of the wound
ed is not great.
At Elizavctgrad things have re-
manned quiet ever since the Anti-Jew-
ish riots. These were oueiled last
Thursday evening. 1t appears that
400 persons were arrested. The
rioting eros, out of a dispute between
some Christians and Jews. The
quarrel led to = general fight, which,
according to the EIi,avetgrad VeStajk,
assumed a more serious character
upon revo!vcr-shots being fred from
some Jewish houses. The Christians
then attacked the houses and shops
Of tie Jews Unfortunately by
smashing doors, breaking windows,
&c, up Til a late hour on Wednos-
day night. The violence was cor
tiuuod throughout Thursday, baeina
different form. the Jews, finding
themselves yanGuished, offered no
fu,thcr resistance, and all fighting
ceased bat the rioters, aided by an
influx of peasants from the surround
me villages TO join in the general
D,6jl9, sacked the houses Of the Jews,
destroyed ii If furniture, and spoiled
or stole their wares. The military
and police are represented as having
done what they could 10 establish
order, but failed to do so at once,
because while they were attempting
that in one pace disorder was break
ing out in another. The Jewish
population of + ~iizavetgrad is reckon
ed at about 10000 persons and more
than half their houses are complete

mad been stolen, with other v%aluables,
during the confusion which followed
the deposition of the Sultan. 1t will
be remembered that the immense
treasure which Abdul Aziz had col
Iected during the latter part of his
reign mysteriously disappeared, and
the Ministry gave il to be understood
thatit had been employed for the war
expenditure. The present inquiry
tends to show that a considerable por-
ton Of it was appropriated by high
officials and other persons who had
access to the Palace at the time.
Among the %personages who are to be
called upon to give evidence are
Suleiman Pasha, Of Shipka celebrity;
Redif Pasha, VINO arrested the late
Sultan in the Dolmabagtche Palace,
and sent him away to the old Soraglio;
and SaduIIah Pasha, who was thon
First Secretary of the Palace, and now
Ambassador at Berlin. Whether
Midhat Pasha and old Mehmed Rush
ii, who WIS then Grand Vizier, will
be summoned as witnesses is still
uncertain.
Some exciting scenes took place at
the Palace during the preliminary in
quirv, especially when a certain Faliri
Bev was being examined III the pre-
senco of the Sultan. Fabri was a
C~homberlatn, and was supposed to be
warmly attached TO lis Imperial mas
ter. On the fatal morning no was on
duty al the door of the room in which
the Imperial prisoner was confined.
According to his statements, the x
Sultan ordered him to bring him q
pair Of scissors to trim his beard, and,
after consulting with the Valid6 Sui
tana, he obeyed the order. Abdul
Aziz took the scissors and, when
alone, locked the door, Fahri re-
manned outside for some time, but at
last, feeling uneasy, gave the alarm.
According 10 other Witnesses, he n
tered the room and took part in the
assassination, in which, it is now said
chloroform was employed. When
Fahri was giving his version Of the
story and attempting to defend HIM
self the Sultan became very excited,
and said he could hardly refrain from
taking summary vengeance on him
with his own hands. On hearing
these words Beiram Agha, the chief
eunuch, who was standing by, imme-
diately stepped forward and display
ed his zeal by beating the accused
with his fists till the Sultan ordered
him to desist.
The reasons for having instituted
this inquiry at the present moment
are not yet fully explained, but tho
explanation which | suggested in a
previous despatch is now pretty gene
ra7ly accepted. Those who are fire.
quaatly at the Palace believe, or at
least, profess to believe, that a serious
conspiracy was being organized
against the present Sultan and his
dynasty. If the Sultan shares this
belief he may think that the exem-
plary punishment Of the previous con-
spirators will deter present ones from
continuing their nefarious designs,

The other extension will tap San
Juan on the east and north, re-
gion covering an area as large as
the State of Massac b usette, and In
tersected by various mountain
ranges and traversed by many riv-
ers. At present 1000 men are en-
pioyed on this extension and about
three miles OF track are laid daily.
In April, 1880, 3S7 miles of road
were operated. On the 1st of this
month sos miles were IN
operation, showing that dur
ing the last sixteen months
45S miles of road have been COM
pleted. These roads are being
built in mountainous country
and will tap section of the State
rich in mineral resources. Eight
hundred and fifty miles more of
road are now under contract and
construction is being pushed as far
as the Utah border. The extension
to Gunnison City will be com.
pleted on Monday next. The other
extensions to mining camps are
being pushed forward to compile
tion before the early SHOWS. The
increase of the miles Of road
operated and the great develop.
ment Of the industries of the State
have caused proportionate in-

THE California Miners Associa-
ton, through the Messrs. Thomas
Bell, Alvinza Hayward, and eleven
other we'll known gentlemen COM
posing Its Board of Council, have
tesued . memorial on the Debris
question which contains q number
-of specious statements in advocacy
Of their right to destroy the Sacra-
mento valley and a number Of the
rivers and harbors of California,
and to tax the whole people of the
State for the ostensible benefit of q
portion of the people of six coun-
ties. While we should like to see
hydraulic mining continue to -four
ieh, we think that a portion of Its
proflts should be devoted to taking
care of the resultant debris, on the
principle that every carpenter
should take care of his own chips.
Fit be true, as this manifesto as.
serts, that the hydraulic mines OF
California are actually worth $780,
QUO. 600, that $50, 100000 are de-
pendent upon the existence of the
mines, and that the yearly yield is
III. 100000. every taxpayer, out

named, will say that this valuable
Interest is we'll able to take care OF
Itself. 1t is the only one that has
had the impudence to ask the peo.
pie Of the State to step in and bear
What ought to be its own rightful
burdens. In addition to the im po-
eitlon practised upon the people of
Cslifornis, 1t has been concIusively
shown that the so-called improve
msnts made pursuant to the Debris
legislation were no improvements
- al, that they were a mere pre-
textf for spending the States money,
and that they imperiled the future
of one OF the most prosperous re-
Gtons Of the State. The memorial
