The Tumult in Egypt.

New YORK. June 28-A London special
say that dispatch from Constantinople last
night announces the issue of a new circular by
the Porte to the Powers, renewing the argu-
ments used to justify its refusal to admit the
utility or necessity of the conference on Egyp-
tian affairs. The arguments are emphasized
by two dispatches from Dervish Pasha one re-
porting reception of deputation represent
ing the army, to present an expression OF aDso-
lutte submission to the will and orders OF the
Sultan and the Khedive; the other announces
the decision of the council of Ministers to
grant amnesty to all who were implicated In
the recent events, except those who are respon-
sible for the riots in Alexandria, and as an
other result of their deliberation it was resolv-
ed to allow no functionary to hold official COM
munication by correspondence with the repre-
sentatives of the foreign powers in Egypt ex-
ceptpg only the Minister of Foreign Affairs,
who shall consultEthe council upon urgent ques-
tions if it is deemed necessary The dispatch
proved by the Khedive, the whole populace
and all the Foreign consuls excepting the En-
glish and French.
Fresh Alarm at Alexandria.
A dispatch from Alexandria says Arab and
the Ministry have left for Cairo The Austri-
an, German and Greek Consulates who have
not heretofore urged their ssubjects 10 leave,
hoping that settlement will render it need
less, are now hurrying on matters. The land
ing stage is thronged. Ships boats are taking
off refugees.
The news that England is going to land
troops has created great impression. Euro
pean life ashore is in great danger. The
French unarmored war ships are hanging chain
cables outside. 1t is hourly expected that the
pillaging will commence. The attitude OF the
soldiers is more menac1ng than heretofore.
Arabiihas sent two regimentsIto guard the Suez
canal This is the seyerest menace yet.
Foreign Notes.
There are now thirty-two men-of-war in the
harbor of Alexandria and four more are ex-
pected.
1t it stated that the Admiral commanding
the italian fleet has been ordered to cruise
within easy distance of Alexandria so that he
can be promptly summoned in case OF necessi-
ty. The steamer Stanley which will leave
Woolwich for Malta on Friday, will take field
hospitals, cavalry equipments. submarine
mines, and portion of portable railway. 1t
is understood th at two military schools Of the
London district will not be dismissed after
training, bat will be retained for garrison
duty In view of the possibility of two battal-
ions of the Guards being sent to the Mediter-
ranean.
The correspondent of the Times at Alexan-
dria telegraphs that there were symptoms OF
rising in Alexandria yesterday, directed par
ticularly against the English. Soldiers clear
ed the square and the guards have been doub-
lee.
1t is stated that regiment of heavy dra-
goons and four battalions of infantry, stationed
at Aldershot, have been warned to be prepar-
ed to go to the Mediterranean.

CENSUS STATISTICS.
New England's Farms-Wool Manuf ac-


New England's Farms-Wool Manuf ac-
ture.
WASHINGTON, June 28.-The number of
farms in the New England States at the last
census is given in bulletin issued o-day. 1t
shows that there was an increase from 1870 to
1880 of eight per cent in Maine, nine per cent
in New Hampshire, five per cent in Ver-
mont, 16 per cenl in Rhode Island, 20 per cent
in Connecticut and 40 per cent in Massachu-
setts. In connection with the latter State
note from the superintendent of the census of
Massachusetts, seem to prove that the agricul-
tnral statistics of 1870 were taken very loosely,
and that the number of farms in that State at
that time was greatly understated.
The following is the total number OF farms
in each State at the last census Maine, 64,-
300; New Hampshire, 80, ,181; Vermont, 81, ,522;
Rhode Island, 62le; Connecticut, 30,598; Mas
sachusetts, 38,406. A great increase in the
number of farms is noticed in the Northern,
Western and Southern States, which is ex-
planned by rapid settlement in the Western
region during the past decade, and by SUBJ
divisions of large plantations in the South.
Dakota leads with an increase of 914 per cent.
followed by Nebraska, with AIS per cent to her
credit. Idaho has 355 per cent and Kansas
263 South Carolina leads in the South, with
an increase of 81 per cent.
A table of statistics derived from the tenth
census shows that there are 1884 establish
ments of the classes engaged in manufactures
from wool in the Middle States with capital
of $3.50, ,644 270. These give employment to
160998 hands pretty evenly divided in regard
to sex who receive wages to the amount OF
$47, ,180,619. The amount of foreign wool con-
sumed is 73, ,2000 698 pounds domestic, 222, ,991,-
531 pounds. The materials used are valued at
$164, ,114,779, while the products are placed at

"old men of the mountain" houses, Messrs

line was again reformed and the company
marched to the armory.
The Cadets were highly pleased with their

WHEAT AND CORN.

Very Favorable Reports from Minnesota.
ST. PAUL, June 28.-Frequent and heavy
storms and the large rainfall of the last week
have caused some anxiety as to the wheat and
corn crops, but this is not justified by reports
from correspondents throughout the North
west, Nearly all agree in saying that the
growing grain has benefited rather than suf-
fered by the rains, except in rare cases where
the soil has been washed out on side hills. The
reports as to wheat are uniformly favorable,
and corn shows remarkable improvement. Out
of some Efifty reports from points in southern
Minnesota only four or five speak unfavorably
of corn. These report the ground too wet for
tillage. Grain is everywhere growing with
rapiditv and vigor. Reports as to vther grains
are variable. Rye and barley, which are ad-
yancing toward maturity, suffer more from
wet weather than wheat and corn.
