The PhIIadeIphfa Star Route Cases-Ar-
 rest Of the Principal Coaspirator.
 PHILADEIrH1A, Aug. 1.-Two weeks ago Thomas McDevitt, Legrand Ensign and Christian Price were arrested for defrauding the government in the letting of Star Route mail contracts in Utah and Arizona. Ensign and Price were the sureties on the contracts and they were obtained as such sureties by McDevitt. The original contractor for the route in question was Benjamin B. Wiley, who was also regarded as the principal con- spirator. He eluded the officers, however, and constant search was unavailing un- til noon to-day. vince he was ar rested in 8 trimming store on Poplar street, to which place he was traced by Deputy Uni ted States Marshals Reuter- and Cake and Postal Agent Bennett. The prisoner had nothing to say about the offence with which he is charged, but asserted that he had in tended to surrender himself. He held at the United States Marshal's office and will probably be given hearing tomorrow. The other prisoners are now under $5,O00 bail, which one of them, Price, has not yet been able to obtain.

Expectations by American Inttians-An
 Uprising against Protestant Mission-
 uries.
 C1TY OF MEXICO, Aug. PA number of Mexicans are supposed to have been killed by Apaches in Chihuahua, and much property there is said to have been destroyed. An ex- petition has been organized to search for and punish the murderers. A large number of people of Chihuahua have petitioned the fed eral government to demand indemnity from the United States government for allowing the Indians to cross the border into Mexico
 A brief dispatch has just been received from Zitacura stating that there has been an uprising there among the Catholics, that is to say by almost the entire population, against some Protestant missionaries who seemed to have made themselves obnoxious by assailing the religion of the people. Further particu. lars are awaited, and the government will promptly punish the wrong doers if any out rage has been committed by natives against well behaved and unaggressive foreigners or visitors

 l. LONDON, Aug. 2.-The result of the meet ing of conservative Peers at Lord Salisbury residence has now been made known and is exactly in accordance with the forecast of it given in these dispatches. Their lordships came to the conclusion that it would be use- less to oppose the passage of the bill. All they could hope to do would be to effect some slight emendations in it. These consist chiefly in taking out of the operations of the bill few estates which are managed under the English system, and in excluding lease- holders from the operation of the bill. The latter is a rather serious emendation and their lordships scarcely hope to carry it through. The practical result of this noble caucus is to make it probable that after a few nights of talk the bill will go through the upper house almost intact and become a law by the 12th of August.
