There Is really much dissatisfaction
among the colored people with the
nomination of w. II. Jordan for the
House Of Delegates by the Republican
Convention the other night, as shown
by the large meeting held night before
last 10 discuss the matter. The dis
sentients evidently mean business, as a
committee was appointed to wait upon
Jordan and request him to withdraw.
This committee will report next Mon
day night.
The collections Of internal revenue at
the Office in this city for the month of
September amounted to s34, 2S2. The
exports of manufactured tobacco from
this city for the same month amounted
to 4s7 900 pounds.
Only four marriage-liccnses were
issued in this city last month, and all
Of them to colored couples. This was
the first month in years in which no
white couple were licensed to marry
here. Thirty-three deeds were adj
mitted to record during the month.
Judge Edwin NJ. Mann, Of our Hust-
ings Court, is seriously i'll Of diphtheria,
and has for several days been unable to
hold his court. Judge W. II. Mann. Of
Nottoway, his brother, arrived in the
city to-day to visit him.
The business improvement steadily
continues, and our merchants generally
predict permanent revival Of trade.
Two youths went on duty as messen-
gers under the immediate-delivery sys-
tenn of letters to-day, but their services
were not in much demand.

THE TROUBLES IN THE EAST
Prince Alexander Acting Vigorously The
War Crisis Extending.


War Crisis Extending.
IBy cable to the Dispatch.l
PHILLIFoPOLIs, October Prince
Alexander is actively engaged in push
ing forward measures for defence. Bull
garian troops from Sofia are taking the
places of volunteers, who have gone to
the frontier. All strategic positions
and passes are being rapidly fortified,
and military posts Throughout the Rho
dope mountains are being greatly
strengthened. The postal-telegraph
tariff of Eastern Roumelia has been
assimilated with that of North Bull
garia.
VIENNA, October IN. Bratiaro.
the Roumanian Prime Minister, who
has had interviews with En-
SSrOr Francis Joseph and Count
kalnoky, the Austrian Foreign Minis
ter, respecting the attitude Of Rouma-
MIA in the event Of war between Tur-
key and Bulgaria, has left this city to
confer with Prince Bismarck; after
which he will visit the Car. His mission
is undertaken for the purpose of having
Roumania considered inyiolable and ac-
corded rights similar to those enjoyed
by Belgium if hostilties should break
out. The opinion gains ground that the
crisis is extending, and that unless the
Powers intervene at once war is inevi-
table.
ST. PETERSBURG, October Rus
sian journals express the opinion that
the conference of Ambassadors at Con-
stantinople on the Roumelian question
will be resultless. The Gar has called
a meeting of the Governors of the va
rious provinces to be held during the
present month, in order to confer with
them respecting the internal condition
of Russia.
CoNsTANTINoPLE, October 1.-The
ambassadors met to-day to consider
the Roumelian question at the house
of Count Corti. the Italian Minister,
but adjourned without transacting any
business of an important nature, seve-
raj of the ambassadors not having yet
received formal instructions from their
respective Governments. The Porte
has sent a circular to the Powers pro-
testing against the recent action of
Prince Alexander in disarming the Mus
selman inhabitants of Roumelia. The
Porte, as precautionary measure, to
prevent the reduction of the supplies in
the event of war with Bulgaria, has is
sued an order prohibiting the exporta-
tion Of cereals

General scrimmage Mt n Fair

OTTAWA, ONT, October AT
Bells Corner, this afternoon, while a
fair was in progress . number Of men
who had been drinking got into quar-
rel and fight ensued. In short time
an immense crowd became engaged in
the combat. Stones flew in all direc-
tons, and men were seen hurrying
away with bleeding heads, as stones,
bricks, and other missiles began to fly
about.
There were fully $50 men in the
fighting crowd, and some Of the out
siders had narrow escapes from being
hit by flying missiles. A number of
persons were severely but not fatally
injured. The cause Of the quarrel was
discussion whether Riel should suf-
fer death. After the disturbance a
man engaged in the fight went up to
Sir John Macdonald and said: "Are
you going to hang Riel?" A number
of bystanders showed the man away,
when Sir John said: "Pm not the
hangman."
