The times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1882-1897, 1882-08-25

islature of MASSACHUSETTS,, the Boston
and Albany road has taken the stock
held by the commonwealth and handed
over to the state treasurer per cent.
twenty-year bonds to the amount of
So ,S5S,000, thus paying $l6O per share
for its own stock. When purchaser
shall have been found for the Hoosac
tunnel, the commonwealth will retire
from the railway business.
The porte, yielding to representa-
tions by Lord Dufferin, has authorized
the expectation Of mules from Smyrna
for the British troops in Egypt. The
Austrian gunboat Nautilus, seeing a
white flag flying on the forts at Abou-
kir, sent ashore an officer and twelve
men, who were held as prisoners. The
British police arrested nineteen Greeks
who were pillaging in the Arab quarter
of Ismailia, and shot ten of them. The
Egyptians cut the fresh-water canal
near Ismailia, but the supply will last
for some time. The duke of Connaught
and Prince Teck are on shore.
Mr.. Long, the American consul at
Alexandria, was attacked by party of
natives Saturday morning. The attack
sidered Longs high-handed manner on
a certain occasion when he rode over
and severely injured several Egyp-
tians. They characterize his conduct
on that occasion as outrageous, and as
sert that the best thing he can do is to
get out of Egypt, as if he remains his
life will surely be taken. Long denies
the outrage alleged by his assailants.
The state department has received no
notification of the attack. Mr.. Long
was not injured.
A battalion of six hundred Highland
ers made reconnaissance at Ramleh,
Tuesday, and the guns at the water
works hill simultaneously opened fire,
to which the Egyptians replied after
the third round. The officers appointed
by the khedive to accompany the Brit
ish army have started for Port Said.
The transports which went into the
Suez canal debarked their troops at
Ismailia. General Wolseley succeeded
in satisfying De Lesseps Of the neces-
sity for the use of the canal by the
British. The I'D regiment engaged the
Egyptians at .Serapeum, killing one
hundred of them.
The Pail Mall Gazette says Grey's SEN
tence looks worse than it did; that any
English journalist would have publish
ed the same statement on the same in
formation. That Mr.. Grey should be
in jail, it says, is scandal of the first
magnitude. Law officers of the British
government are examining the speeches
made at the Parnell banquet, Dublin,
to see if they demand any action. Sub
scriptions are flowing in, headed by the
Catholic bishops, for the payment of
Grey's fine.
Further advices from the Sonora val
Low of otn fhof tho r,ry,ohar af hostile
ApacheS engaged in the raid is 200, COM
manded by Juh, the Chiricahua chief
who escaped after the battle with Cen
eral Fuero last spring. The outrages
are of the most devilish character, and
the women are treated in the most hor-
rlble manner; at one place eleven be-
ing stripped, outraged, and then tor
tured to death. A large force of Mex
leans are in close pursuit, and the coun-
try is being aroused by means of cour-
iers. If captured, the Indians will
probably be exterminated.
British troops have occupied Port
Said and Ismailia and disarmed the ma
tive soldiers. Rear Admiral Hewitt
has stopped traffic on the Suez canal, at
which De Lesseps made a strong pro-
test. AT Port Said the British have
thrown up earthworks between the
European and Arab quarters. and Ad-
miral Seymour and General WOlseley
are on hand with seventeen transports
and five men-of-war. The shore end Of
the cable, which has been worked from
on board the ship John Fender, was
landed Sunday. The announcement of
an intention to lombard Aboukir seems
to have been ruse. -Four English reg
iments made reconnaissance along the
canal, drawing out shells
from Arab Pasha's force. The direc-
tors of the 'Suez Canal company held a
in Paris Sunday, at which res
were, passed reaffirming the
neutrality Of the highway, denouncing
and reserving the right to claim COM
pensation from England.
Official information received at Oma-
Indians at Pine Ridge agency is liable
to occur, and general war with the
northern Indians is possible. DR.. Nc
Gillicuddy. agent of the Red Cloud In
1ians, has been notified that unless he
IS removed by October they will rise.
The same statement is made by them |
to the military commanders, who have |
Notified the army headquarters at Oma- |
ha. About 800 Indians are engaged |
N the trouble, and in their neighbour
hood about IL 900 more. 1t is estimat- |
ed that 1900 warriors can be summon
ID for the outbreak. What the griev-
,nces against the Pine Ridge agent are
s not stated, and he bears an excellent
equation. 1t is thought by some
hat his rigid enforcement of the gov
regulations causes the Indians
Red Cloud is thought
20 be actuating the Indians in their de-
nand for the removal of DR.. McGilli-
'uddy. It is further stated that many
1oung men in the tribes have grown up
ince the war Of 1875, and many war
Tors have returned who followed Sit
ing Bull, and that these elements are
'nXiOuS for war.
