LONDON, September ga Times dis
patch from Constantinople says the Porte
has addressed note to Lord Dufferin, the
British Ambassador, demanding to know
what step is contemplated by his govern

British troops from Egypt, as they are no
longer required in that country.
The Times has the following from Cairo.
dated the 26th: "The reception held by the
KhediVe at the Gheziereh palace to-day was
more largely attended than any within the
recollection Of the people here. Il is vari-
ouslV estimated that from 5000 to s, 900 per-
sons paid homage to the KhediVe. He re-
fused to receive Ragheb Pasha, Alhadek

Pssha strongly insist upon the necessity OF
capital punishment for the prime offenders
In the late revolt.
In council to-day and agreed upon the
wording of three DEGREES, which the Khe-
dive will sign tomorrow. The first decree
Institutes special commission for the pros-
ecution OF all acts Of rebellion committed by
the military or civilians. The commission

Mrs. MeIvilIe's Insanity.

Mr.. R. M. johnson, of Brooklyn, half
brother OF the wife of Engineer Melville, is
I'm Indianapolis on private business. In q
recent conversation he said that Mrs. Mel
viIle's insanity is the result OF the great
mental strain consequent upon Mr.. Mel
ville's absence on the polar expedition and
TO which her extremely nervous tempers-
ment has contributed. Last summer she
spent two months at Mr.. Johnson 3 residence
and at that time there were indications
of mental disturbance. She would cit up
for hours and talk about George, her hus-
band, and then suddenly lapse into moody
silence. AS a mother she was very indul-
gent to her children, and in caring for than
NAV have done so eXtravagantly at times.
She has been married twenty-five years, and
Mr. johnson thinks that not six years OF
that time has been spent in her husbands
company, owing to his numerous voyages.
He characterizes George Melville as one OF
natureis noblemen, q gentleman In all things
Mrs. Melville's mother wss clear headed,
well balanced woman, and the report that
she died insane Is utterly without founds-
ton. -, A.. A..
Melville will ever recover, and he would not
be surprised at any time to hear that sne
had attempted self-destruction. she Is
woman naturally of 3 kind, loveable dlspo-
sitIon. ana the story that she Is capital
pistol shot Is utterly absurd, and grew OUT
of the fact that she once shot negro Dur-
glar who was getting in at the window OF
her residence, Oae hundred feet away,
with the moon as a target, she could not
hit It.

CIGAR MAKING IN PRISON.
fragrant Havanas and DOmesIics
Moulded By Convict Fingers.
PHILADELPHIA Times.

Thousands of genuine Havana cigars
are the product of the nimble fingers of
convicts in the Eastern penitentiary.
Next to the manufacture of stockings the
fabrication of cigars has become one Of
the important industries in that institu-
ton.
Like other emploYments, it is a vel.
come task to a convict when he has once
acquired the knack of rolling the leaf
together into cigar. The agile fingered
Cuban is desirable acquisition to the
penitentlary force, as under his deft
manipulation the Havana cigar develops
almost like magic. For these genuine
Cuba leaf is used and the manufactured
product brings $40 a thousand wholeE
sale. There are several grades OF
domestic cigars also manufactured,
some Of which sell as low as S12 so q
thousand. The industry is subject to
the scrutiny of the internal revenue
officers, just the same as though the
convict laborers were pursuing their
task in a factory outside instead of
behind the prison bars. The daily task
of each is about 200 cigars. Ali over
that number are credited to his own
account.
Among those who have become ex-
perts at cigarmaking is Joel Vanarsdalen,
one OF the Whitaker will conspirators.
When he emerges from the penItentiary
his expulsion from the bar will not de
prive him of the means of livelihood.
The prisoners who follow this industry,
notwithstanding the general impression
that the Odor Of tobacco is deleteTious,
enjoy as good health as any of their
fellows. The penitentiary managers
sometimes sell 100, cigars in a lot to
some of the Arch street wholesale houses.
The Hayanss are put up in fancy boxes
and really pass current as Cuban hand
made, the commercial value being by no
means affected by the fact that the Cubans
work behind prison bars.

THE TARIFF COMMISSION.
It's Session at Wilmington.

WILMINGTON, N. c., September 27.-The
Tariff Commissioners arrived here this
morning and held session in the custom
house. The subjects brought to It's atten-
tion were rice and peanuts, Chalk and silk
cococns. The rice interest was advocated
by D. L. Russell, Donald MacRae and s. L..
Fremont, the peanut and chalk interest
by Geo. Z. French. and the silk cocoons
interest was incidentally mentioned By Mr..
Fremont. The advocates OF the rice inter
est expressed themselves satisfied with the
present duties, but declared that any redue-
tion of them would be fatal TO that interest.
In regard to peanuts, Mr.. French gave the
average annual production Of the Whining
ton section as 100, 900 bushels. Up to 1861
1t was equal to seven-eiQhths OF the entire
crop Of the United States, but under the
dutyo one cent per pound imposed in 1854,
the industry had increased until now Ten
nessee produced from 300 900 to 900 600
bushels, and Virginia from 200, 900 to 1,0OO,-
OOO bushels. Prices were affected by the
importation Of African peanuts. A ciscor-
tinuance OF the duty would put an end to
the peanut industry Of North Carolina. and
impOverish many small farmers,
AS to chalk, large deposits of it were
found in the State, but its freight to New
York and Philadelphia, where chalk was
made into whiting would be higher than
the cost OF English chalk, which is carried
there as ballast.
As to silk cocoons, the soil and climate of
the State were favorable to the cultivation
OF the mulberry trees and the raising of silk
worms. Both these interests might be de-
veloped by the imposition of a duty on
chalk and on silk cOcoons
MIR. Boteler asked Mr.. Fremont whether
any complaints came up from the farming
community about the tariff.
Mr.. Fremont replied In the negative. All
that was heard about It was from Congress
and stump speakers. He thought, however,
that the popular side of the question was a
tariff for revenue, with incidental protec-
tionl but as the rice people wanted the pres
ent duty on rice maintained, they could not
ask to have the duties taken off other pro-
tected articles. The commission left for
Richmond this afternoon.

Crons In Continental Enrone.

The Vienna PFeSSe, in a review of the
crop prospects in Continental Europe,
says Spain will again have bad harvest
this year. Italy has also weak harvest.
The French crops are not satisfactory as
regards quality, the heavy rains having
materially injured the character of the
wheat. According to estimates, the
crops will reach about 112, ,000, 900 to
115, 200, 900 of hectoliters, while the re.
quirements will amount to about 49,
100000. There will, therefore, be a
deficit of from 3,000,0 600 to 5000. 900,
which will have to be covered by inn
ports. In Germany the rains have Sc
verely injured the crop in the south,
and less severely in the northern
provinces. North Germany counts
upon a full average yield of low
quality, while Southern Germany
will have a considerable decrease
in the yield. The imports, it is estima-
ted, cannot be less than in previous
years. Roumania and Servia have both
average crops, the Servian yield being of
finer quality than the Roumanian corn.
Both countries produce more than they
require for home consumption. Both
will have a fair surplus for export.
Reliable details of Russia's crops are
wanting, but it appears certain that, with
the exception of the province of Cher
son, the average will about be reached,
and already the exports of wheat and
rye from the ports of The North, the
Baltic and the Mediterranean seas are
proceeding in full swing. Hungary has
full average crop, Austria weak aver
age, and the quantity available for export
is estimated at 3,500,000 centners of
wheat and -four, valued at 10000. coo
gulden. Of rye there is a surplus of
1,000,0 900 meter centners available for
export, worth about 100000 gulden.
Oats will yield about 5000, 600 to g. .50O.-
600 meter-centners for export.

VIRGINIA READJUSTERS.
Resolutions DenOuncing Malone.


Washington Special to the Chicago Tribune.
At meeting Of the County Committee
OF the Resdiuster party, held at Manassas
last week, George Q. Round was elected
Chairman, and Ihe following resolutions
adopted
WHEREAS, William Malone, by his at
tempt 10 constrain party action by the use
Of the vast official patronage confided to
him by the President Of the United States,
succeeded in setting aside the will OF the
people and nominating q candidate against
their will; therefore,
ReSOlled, By the County Committee of the
Liberal Readiuster party Of Prince William
county:
l. That the said William Malone has for
feited our confidence as arty leader, and
we will no longer recognize him in the ca
pacity of Chairman, and instruct our officers
TO have no communication whatever with
him. We further call on our State Com
mittee to remove him from the high office
he disgrsces, and to elect a man who has
some respec! for the rights of the people.
2. In cur opinion no members of Congress
or OF our State Legislature, or any commit
tees of the party, have any power to formu-
late new principles for the party, or nomi-
nate candidates to be voted for by the
people; and we declare that in such matter
the party can only be bound by regular and
fairly-cOnducted conventions.
3. That we are as much as ever devoted to
the principles of the party, as ratified by our
State Convention, and we rejoice in the
progress made toward an honest resdjust-
ment Of the State debt, the maintenance OF
our public schools, and the re establishment
OF free manhood suffrage. We will still
labor to establish these principles, not only
against open opposition, but against the
secret intrigues Of William Malone and his
unscrupulOus allies.
Malone, It is said, has summoned the
leaders Of his party in the Fifth Virgins
Congressional district to Washington to
confer as to the situation. An attempt will
be made 10 place another Rsadjuster nomi-
nee in the field who is more satisfactory to
Malone. The Republican straightOuts are
taking advantage of every complication In
the Readjuster situation, and are determin-
ed to give Malone as much trouble as pos
sible. The Readiusters and Republicans,O1
this county are endesvoring to unite on the
Republican candidate for Congressmsu-st-
large, Dawson, and the Republican candi-
date for Congress, WOLF.

A TYPICAL SPORTING MAN.
Success of I'd. Stokes, the Murderer
of Jim FIRs, as n Barkeeper.

When James Fisk, Jr., was alive, he
was the hero of the rapid fraternity, and
when young Ned Stokes murdered him
there was cry for vengeance from that
set. But time changes things. Fisk is
dead and forgotten. The fast men of
his time have gone to ruin. Stokes is
alive and free man. The cowardice Of
the murder is forgotten, and the
fact that he had the nerve to face the
gallows and didn't break down when
sentence of death was passed
on him makes him appear a
hero in the eyes of the new set
of gilded youths, and he is to day one
of the most prominent figures in New
York. He is thus described by a cor
respondent of the Hartford Times "He
is almost always to be seen around the
room. l don't know how true it
is, but corridors or office of
his hotel, seldom in the bar
it is often said that the owner of the
finest barroom in the world never takes
a drink across his own bar and is never
known to drink liquor. Some say that
he made an oath if he escaped hanging
or imprisonment for life after killing
Fisk that he would never drink another
drop of liquor. He is the typical sport
ing man, although he never drinks
or CANDLES. The sporting men
model themselves after ED" Stokes.
They assume his imperturbable, stolid
expression, never showing surprise or en-
thusiasm at anything. They initiate his
rich but quiet dress, and if they are so
happy as to have iron gray hair it is an
inestimable distinction; for ED" Stokes
has iron gray hair. Since opening
last winter, wine merchants say that
Stokes bar has done the most profitable
business in the country. Right in the
centre of the hotel district it attracts the
business men who have nothing to do
but lounge around, and from s o'clock
until midnight iC is thronged with men
who would frequent it if the minimum
price for drinks was 81 instead of twen-
ty-tive cents. Some people want to pay
the biggest price in the country for
drinks and cigars, and here they are &C
COmmOdated.

General Roger Pryor on His Muscle.
NetU York Sun

The convention had hardly been called to
order in Shakespeare Hall this evening be-
fore there was row in the Brooklyn dele
cation. 1t occurred In the back part of
the hall near the entrance. General Roc er
A. Pryor was urging the propriety of placing
General Slocum or the ticket for Congress-
man at large, when exceptions were taken
by Anthony Barrett, well known peace
and-harmony Democrat. He declared
that such nomination would be an in
suit to General Slocum, and animad-
verted strongly on what he called
General Pryor's presumption in max
ing such q proposal. The dispute
grew hot and bad blood was aroused, The
peace-and-harmony Democrat finally called
General Pryor id rebel. Thereupon the
General hauled of with his right, took Mr..
Barrett between the eyes, and sent him to
grass. The blow knocked all peace and
harmony proclivities out of Mr.. Barrett. He
peeled himself of his coat, ana was prepar-
ing to knock the General out when he was
seized By other members Of the delegation
who were acting in the real interests of
peace and harmony. General Pryor turned
to those surrounding him, saying:
"Gentlemen, you have all witnessed this
trouble. Under the provocation feel nv
self perfectly justified in acting as l have
acted"
He then walked away, accompanied by
friends, The Brooklyn delegation and ali
who witnessed the assault justified General
Pryor.

DE LESSEPS' CANALS.
Sharp Argument to Show that Panama
and Suez Widely Differ.


EuH 4hdu Gazette.
1t Is often taken for granted that because
NJ. de Lesseps severed the Isthmus OF Suez
he must also succeed in severlng that of
fanama. But the ditch he dug in the sand
from Port Said to SuCZ cannot for moment
be compared to the channel he has under
taken to hew through the rocks and swamps
OF Panama. The new canal win only be
half as long as the old one, but, as 1t passes
through mountain range necessilatin a
clean cut $50 feet deep through solid rock,
the difficulty OF its construction cannot
be estimated by its length. In Africa
the River Nile was of invaluable service
to NJ. de Lesseps. In America, after the
earthquakes, his greatest enemy Is the
River Chagres, whose turbulent torrent, un-
less curbed by dam the like OF which has
never been constructed by engineer, is GER
tain to destroy the canal the first rainy
season. In SueZ he was close to the over
stocked labor market of three continents
and In the immediate neighborhood of the
workshops of the world. In Panama he
has to import negroes from Jamaica and
coolies from China. All his machinery has
10 be transported thousands of miles from
Europe or America. But even in Suez he
would probably have failed had It not been
fer the lavish support of the late Khedive
and the powerful patronage of Napoleon
LII. The Colombian Government has no
resources to place at his disposal, and the
undisguised jealousy of the United States
will probably lead to the construction of a
competing canal with an American gusrsn-
tee. Yet, even II we accept the Suez
precedent, 1t is far from reassuring for the
holders of Panama stocks. When M. de
Lesseps began TO make the Suez canal, he
estimated its cost at a little more than 98.-
100000. Before:it was opened it cost little
less than $4,000, 900. M. de Lesseps esti-
mates the cost of cutting the Panama canal
at 426, ,OOO, 900. AT the SueZ rate It will not
be completed at much below 960, ,00O, 900.
At present he has raised 96, 900, not
including the money required to purchase
the railroad. There is only one point more
to which we need advert to-day. At Suez
NJ. de Lesseps has monopoly of the traffic,
whereas the Foreign Affairs Committee OF
the American House of Representatives has
already reported in favor of a bill incorpo-
rating company with a government uar-
antee to cut maritime canal through Mica
rsgua. There msy be traffic enough to pay
Tor making one canal from the Atlantic to
the Pacific, but what prospect is there OF
dividend II there are two?
