FIGHTING FOR THE DUCHY.
The Duke of Cumberland Issues an Ad-

dress In HIS Own Behalf.
BERLIN, Nov. 1O.-The North German Ga
sette publishes the text of a circular issued by
the Duke of Cumberland, which has been ad-
dressed to all the German sovereigns except
the Emperor William. The reason that this
circular has not been forwarded to the EN-
perOr is because the latter has refused to re-
cognize notification issued by the Duke of
Cumberland to the Brunswick Ministry on the
day of the death of the late Duke of Bruins
wick, assuming the government of the Duchy
The present circular of the Duke of Cumber-
land demands that his proclamation. assuming
the government of the Duchv. shall be coun-
tersigned by the Council of the Regency of
Brunswick. The Duke maintains that the va
lldlty OF his succession is fairly established bV
the constitution; that his hereditary right
to the succession has not been contested in
any quarter, and holds that it is impossible
for the Empire to refuse him the right of as
sumlng the government of the Duchy
without encroaching upon the laws
and justice which formed the foundation
OF the German Empire itself. The Duke con-
cludes his circular by stating that the Impe-
rial constitution contains no authorization for
such refusal, and if he is refused his success
sion to the Duchy of Brunswick the right of
all other German sovereigns will be imper-
lied. manifesto containing his assumption
of the throne of the Duchy was issued bv the
Duke of Cumberland to the council of the
Regency of Brunswick on Oct. Is with his re-
quest to the members of the Council to
countersign it, but the Council replied
that it could not accept the responsibility
of such an act, and must leave it to the Duke
himself to make good his sovereign claims to
the Empire and Imperial Government. The
announcement of this action by the Council
of the Regency was made known to the Land
tag, the Diet of Brunswick, and the decision
of the Council was received with cheers. Herr
WindthOrst, who was at Gruenden when the
Duke of Cumberland issued his manifesto
declared that the Duke of Cumberlands right
to the Crown is UndOubted and indefeasible.
THE WILL NOT RECOGNIZED.
BERLIN, Nov. 10.-It is reported that the

BlaIne Apt to Back Down.

WAsHINGTON, Nov. I0.-Samuel Shellabar-
ger, one of the local counsel for the Union
Pacific and visiting statesman in 1876, has
been, it is understood, retained by the Blaine
managers as Washing gtOn counsel in the at
tempt to count Blaine in. Senator Beck ex-
presses the general opinion here in saying
that this attempt will be defeated. The Dem
ocrats have 90 majority IN the House. Even if
Blaine should succeed in throwing the cleo
tiOn into the House as he desires, he could
not buy a favorable verdict from its majority.
The Democratic Congressional Committee
thinks that a sudden back down on Blaine's
part within a day or two would not be sur
prising. If not, it expects to see him deserted
bv all but his most desperate managers.

ada Still Coming to the Surface.

QUEBEC, Nov. 1O.-zA dispatch to the Norwe-
gian Consul, from the lighthouse keeper, on
Point des Monte, via Cape Chatte, states that
the Norwegian bark Nauna, which cleared
from this port last week for Douglas, Isle of
Man, with a cargo of lumber, is a total wreck
off Csribau Island. Two of the crew were
drowned, and ten others are now on the island
without provisions. The lighthouse keeper is
unable to render them assistance, as all his
provisions were washed away during recent
gale. The message also states that all on
hoard the schooner Emile are lost, but no par
ticulars are given. The Emile was bound for
Quebec from Peirre, with part of the ma
chinery of the wrecked steamer Fylgia. and
had on board besides her crew number of
passengers and wOrkmen from the wrecked
steamer.
No further particulars can be obtained, as
