that have occurred in Sacramento city and

Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1885-01-01

The Congo Conference at Berlin on the
last day of November received the report of
its committee in, favor Of the freedom of
trade within the limits of the newly-detined
Congo basin. As 10 the extent OF the free
trade and the limit OF its operation there
was variance of opinion, and long debates
ensued 4 committee of the Conference
on the Sth accepted Englands proposal re-
garding the freedom of the Niger to COM
merce subject to the sanction of the Con-
ference. \ subcommittee rejected Gen
eral Stanford's proposal for a railway from
Viri to Stanley Pool. Mr.. kasson, of the
United States, presented 10 the Conference a
neutrality project for the Niger and Congo,
and to include inland territory, rivuIets
and canals. France and Portugal opposed
him. Germany was silent and England
apathetic. The French neutrality plan
was Professionally adopted-of free naviga-
ton of the rivers and free passage over all
railways and roads in the Congo and Niger
countries for commerce by all nations in
time of war.
In Austria the Bohemian Mortgage Com
pany was i'll great difficulty, owing to the
crisis in the sugar trade. The Minister of
Finance asked the banks, both National
and others, to unite in an effort to prevent
its collapse, which would involve the
downfall of forty savings banks. A great
panic resulted, and shares fell from 20 to 80
horins.
In Colombia President Cervera resigned.
The Secretary of State Dubarry also re-
signed.
Portugal reported in its budget deficit
of 81 DIS, $50, owing to increased expenses
in Guinea, the Congo country and Mozam-
bique.
In France a bill was passed by the Depu
ties abolishing public executions. England
continued its effort TO effeetuate peace be-
tween China and France. A threatened
resignation of the Ministry was averted.
The Cabinet resolved to resutnnit the Sena-
torial reform bill for the election of Sena-
tors by universal suffrage. 1t became evil

In France the cholera panic assumed
greater proportions. The revision Of the
Constitution was the chief topic in political
circles The demand, il now develops. that
was made on China was for an indemnity
OF 20 600, 600 francs for the Lang-Son affair:
but If China Withdrew from Tonquin
France would be content with indemnity
to the families of the soldiers who suffered
at Lang-Son and the payment of expenses
to France incurred by the affair. China
offered to nay 100000. France in reply
ordered Admiral Courbet to occupy Foo.

with his demand was refused. France de-
manded that England again consult the
Powers if any steps IN EgyptS financial
affairs were contemplated. A committee
of the two houses of the French Congress
agreed to report an amendment to the Con-
s(itution excluding monarchic pretenders

The Congress at Versailles rejected an
amendment to the Constitution abolishing
the Presidency, and one that the President
be chosen by universal suffrage. The
Deputies voted 100000 francs for the
Tonquin war credit. France approached
Germany and Russia to coalesce TO limit
the power of England in Egypt, and to
neutralize the Suez Canal absolutely. Her
overtures were received cordially. II was
rumored that France had secured an al
lance with Germany by which each is TO
aid colonial acquisition by the other.

Lord Randolph Churchill as Chairman of

The change in the Chinese-French war
situation was slight in October. French
troops gained three victories on the Tonquin
frontier Rumors of American and Eng
fish mediation were rife, but none were con-
firmed.
In Egypt Nubar Pasha replied to the
protest of Italy and Germany that the sus
spension of the sinking fund was an abso-
lutte necessity. 1t was proposed TO cease
payment of tribute to the Porte, but North
brook vetoed it. He suggested the aboli
ton of the Egyptian army as an economi-
cal measure, but the Egyptian Ministry OPP
posed it. General Wolseiey moved up the
Nile some distance, and paused to await
orders and supplies. Several conflicts &C.
cured between Ell Mahdis followers and
Egyptian aad English forces. The rumor
prevailed that Colonel Stewart and forty
two men with him had been massacred on
their way TO Dongola, their Arabs proving
treacherous.

Bishops and Archbishops to submit to the

The Indians,

Prospect of serious trouble with the Co
manches aud the Cheyennes continue and
General Sheridan has left Washington for
the Indian Territory. lie does not believe
In fighting Indisns or any enemy at dis
tance.
The latest information Is TO the effect
that the Indians are preparing for light.
MIR. Hallowell, one of the four agency far
mers employed by the Governor to teach
agriculture to the Cheyennes, Arrspahoes
and Comsnche Indians arrived at Withita,
Kansas, Saturday direct from Fort Reno,
and says he considers trouble inevitable.
The Indians expect an effort to be made by
the government to dlsarm them In which
event they will will sell their lives as dear
ly as possible. The Indians are in want OF
nothing. Wolfe Robe, a chief has aoan
doned his crop and taken all his movable
property away. In coming up to the State
line Mr.. Hallowell CHANGED upon 800 Chey-
eune ponies being herded for an emergen'
CIV. The Young men who had taken to
farming have under the influence Of their
chief also abandoned their fields.
A special from the Cheyenne agency says
that the aspect Is undoubtedly proving
more serious from day to day and that
troops sufficient for complete police patrol
will prove the only means of safety. The
Cheyennes have sent large number OF
their best horses out west under apprehcn-
sion of an attack from the militia In which
event they would he at safe distance for
raiding. Small bodies OF Indians are slip
ping away every day and 1t Is believed that
they are all ready for the stampede to the
wilds In body as soon rs their spies, who
overruu the agency, are satisfied that the
government means to disarm them.
The Secretary of War has directed Lieut..
General Sheridan to take immediate steps
towards the concentration of all troops,
that they may be available in case OF In
dian disturbances Ia the West and fifteen
companies of soldiers have been ordered
from the Department of the Platte aud
Texas at once at Fort Reno. This will
make $500 mon In the field.
1t Is reported that General Miles is to
take the field In command OF the troops
now In Indian Territory, to suppress the
trouble with the Cheyennes.
Capt. Chaffee's band killed forty Indians
and captured four prisoners July I'd near
Sonora, Mex. One soldier was killed.
The Indians are now In the Sonora Noun
tains, where Capt Chaffee Is hunting them
Later reports are more reassuring. Gov
ernment officers most experienced in Indi-
an matters think that the massing Of troops
and the attitude by the Administration
will prevent any outbreak.

long has been at its best very husky was
a most pleasing surprise, and when be-

The situation In Aranjuez, which is

GERS would be allowed to serve out their
terms ana that "offensive partisans" alone
are in danger Of decap!tation. 1t appears
that the reigning party, while united as to
the result, are divided as to the methods Of
placing the government Offices into the
hands of the faithful. The President and
q very small faction Of the party, for the
sake Of copciliating the "Mugwump" ele-
ment, believe in moving slowly and with
caution, throwing occasionally plum to
the independents, while the great majority
of the Democratic party believe in putting
Democrats In the Offices and doing 1t
promptly, without any fuss or unnecessary
delay.
