THE BEY SUMMONED TO SUBMIT.

HE THREATENS TO APPEAL TO THE POWERS.
TUNIs, April ON. Roustan, French COnsul-Gen-
eral here, has written letter to the Bey, reminding
him of the order given to the Tunisian frontier
forces to retire when the French troops advance,
and calling upon the Boy to sanction the French oc
cupation of the Obouenoued forts. The Bey replied
pointing out the wide difference between the two
cases, aud declaring that the landing of French
troops at Tabarca would be unjusifabc, and If ef-
fected it mnst be by force and against the expressed
will of the Bey, who will dispatch protest to the
Powers.
Tunisian accounts OF the firing on the French gun
boat, while making explorations on the coast of Ta-
barca state that the captain Of the gunboat ordered
the commandant Of the forts on Tabarca and the
mainland to surrender and that the latter refused
unless commanded TO do so by the Bey.
The Bcy of Tuns states that he has given tho
necessary orders for the protection of foreigners but
that hc cannot answer for the excitement the Mus

At Pittsburgh between the manufacturers

wages than their rivals ali around them

appointed rolling mills located here were
driven into bankruptcy several years ago,
have long been idle, and the creditors of
the companies who took the mills cannot
lease them for ;heir taxes, because of elm
liar discrimination in wages matters. The
city is deprived of valuable industry, the
workmen have mostly sold out, gone

ALBANY, June 13.-The total vote to-
day was smaller than at any time, The
indications point to q considerable in

compsnied by the condensation cf some
scattering votes on Cornell for the short
term. 1t is possible that soon after this
takes place the names of Depew and Cor
nell will be exchanged and the latter be
the candidate for the long term.
The practice of pairing having been
carried to an extreme, an effort was made
in joint convention to-day to stop it. The
probability is that some measures will be
adopted to keep the members here and
allow them no absence except for more
urgent reasons.

The New York Nation, in view of the
decline of the product of French wines
since 1875 to less than one-half the prevf-
Gus average yield, expresses the wish that
some wine dealer would come out with a
frank explanation of the failure te rise in
price, and of the continued fulrness of the
supply" 1t adds:
We know, too, that the supply of the
ordinary clarets has, during these years,
fallen far short CT meeting the home de-
Enand, and that she has imported heavily
from Hungary and Italy, and even from
the United States, How Is it that under
these circumstances the price OF French
wines in this country has remained per-

as muCb Bordeaux ss he wants for Just or
very nearly what he paid in 1875?
