A sLAV CONFEDERATION.


ST. PETERSBURG. November Is. - The
plau of confederation of the South Sla-
vouian States is again beiog much dis
cussed in Eastern Europe. The Psnslavist
newspapers in Russia strongly advocate il,
and King Milan, OF S.rvis, is said TO be its
chief promoter It. is alleged that when he
was at s.. Petersburg two years ago he be-
came convinced, that, Dotwithsta aiding the
friendly assurances he received from the
Russian government, Russia was above all
anxious to re-establish the alliance of the
three emperors, and that she would do moth
ing for Servia, but would be ready to sacri-
fce it in order to achieve the ain object of
her policy. He then strove to bring about
Tapprochsaena between Servia and Austria
Hungary, and The result of his efferts was
the recognition of Servia as kingdom, first
by Austria and then by the other powers.
The chief obstacle to his policy, then rs now,
was the desire of the Servians to obtain pos
session of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
During his late visit to Vienna,
however, he came to the conclu-
sion that Aestria-Hungary would never
give up those provinces TO another power.
and that, unless some other solution were
devised, they would sooner or later be an
nexed 10 the Austrian empire. He has,
therefore, determined TO endeavor TO fulfill
the wishes of his subjects in another way,
namely, by placing SeTvia at the head Of
confederation of the South Slavonian States,
and it is stated that he considers that, Russia
and Austria Hungary being now on friendly
terms, a good opportunity is afforded for
laying the foundation of such an arrange
ment, 10 which Bulgaria is believed to be
favorable. His plan is said to be the forma-
ton of Bosnia and Herzegovina into an inde-
pendent State under the rule of an Austrian
prince, an / the union OF this State, together
with Servia, Bulgaria, Montenegro, and per-
hsps Macedonis, in 4 confederation, with the
king of Servia as its president, thereby put
ting an end to the difficulties in which
Austria Hungary is involved by the occupa-
tion of Bosnia and giving Russia an oppor-
tuuity of at length uniting Bug aria with
Eastern Ronmelia.

PANAMA, November S.-A young mer-
chant of Barbacoas, named Portes, in com
paDy with some friends, established himself
on the bank of the river Putumsyo among
the virgin forests, which there cover every
foot of ground They erected house, made
a email clearing, and already saw their way
to profitable business, when they were Wis.,
tied by number of Geventos Iodians, who
came ostensibly 10 trade. They were re-
ceived well and were apparently satisfied,
but suddenly they attacked and killed the
Colombians, and afterwsrd cooked and ate
them. The Indians never visited PutPmayo
before, and no one has ever fallen in with
them on the Amszon. Other tribes made
their appearance ia different places, and it
is believed that some more powerful tribes
are driving the weaker ones from the hesrt
of the unknown forest, or that they are vol
untary emigrants, who will murder and
plunder whenever opportunity offers. Resi-
dents on the frontier also suggest thst they
may have been driven from their homes,
wherever these may be, by slavers, whose
vessels a.cended several tributaries of the
Amszon few months ago in search of

The Rev. William H. Boole, candidate
for lieutenant-goveruor Of New York on the
Prohibition ticket, which received only 26, 600
votes, preached a sermon last Sunday in the
South Second street church, New York City.
in the course Of which he said the Lord would
form a new party, the FIRST plank in the plat
form of which would be he recognition of
the irrepressible conflict between the moral
continent Of the nation and The liquor traffic
as the only uniustly legalized business in the
country. This conflict would not down, he
said.~ The 26 900 Prohibition votes were the
n apdfuI of corn whose harvest would exceed
all others. Another plank in the new plat
form mnst be woman suffrage, which was
surely coming, whether people liked it or
not. A third plank would be a recognition
of the legal sanctity of the Sabbath, which
was now in danger because of the steady tide
of foreign immigration. II the Sabbath is
not made day of rest by law the Gospel
could not bs successfully preached much
longer. The platform of the new party
would also have plank favoring the de-
struction Of MormoDism 60 far ss polygamy
was concerned. This is the platform of a
fanatic and an impracticable. Bob Ingersoll
should take hold of Boole.
