The Frontier Lines.

ST. PETERSBURG. May 8.-The follow
ing announcement appears in the Off
ciaI Messenger: 'In consequence of the
divergence of views between the Cabi-
nets of Russia and England, ON the in
terpresation of the March agree
NIT the question to the decision of
an arbitrator Meanwhile, both ma
tons have agreed to resume the frontier
negotiations, but on different basis,
namely, that the principal points of the
frontier be fixed by a previous under
standing between the two Cabi-
nets, the demarcation of the
frontier on the spot and the
placing of the indicating posts being
reserved for the commissions which both
powers will send. In order to facilitate
the work of delimitation the outposts of
both sides will not be withdrawn from
their present positions until the arrival
of the joint commission, when as
fast as the dire ction of the frontier line is
fixed, the frontier points will be occupied
by the troops of both parties concerned.
1t will then he the duty of each to main
tain order and security in its respective
territory.
LONDON. May S.-M. Lessar, Russian
boundary commissioner. had a con-
ference with Earl Granville, yesterday.
with respect to the delimitation of the
Russo-Afghan frontier. An arbitrator
has not yet been chosen.
The Daily Netos says it is able so state
that Earl Duferin warmly approves the
settlement made by England and Rus
STA, as will appear from the papers
which are about to be laid on the table
in Parliament. The Nei0s also says
that the prospect of peace will not
effect the budget. The money will be
devoted 10 the work of increasing the
navy and any residue will be applied to

Gladstone Further EXPLAINS.

LONDON, May Gladstone, replying
to questions in the House of Commons,
this afternoon, said that although on
the receipt of the first kilograms he had
described the Penjdeh affair as an act of
unprovoked aggression, still he had
never presumed that the information in
his possession, when he had made that
declaration. As matter of fact, within
-twenty-four hours afterwards, the news
containing the Important qualifications
of that first received had come to hand.
Gladstone had no doubt, he said, that
when Earl of Dufferin, British Viceroy
of India, at Lahore, after his return
from a conference with the Ameer at
Rawu1 Pindi, described the Russian at
tack as an act of unprovoked aggression
without any qualification, the Vice
roy'S statement was warranted by
the circumstances under which
he spoke and the knowledge in
his possession, but Russia had since de-
MED that Colonel Alikhanoff had
ordered the Turcomans under his COM
mand to make any attack. The report
that Colonel Alikhanoff had issued such
an order vas made to England by Cap
tain. Yate and his party, who belonged
to Sir Peter Lumsden's boundary COM
mission and who were in Penjdeh dur
ing the battle. But it had been ascer-
tanned since that neither Captain Yate
nor any of his party were aware of any
other foundation for the report than
rumor. Gladstone said that Lord Duff
fern had arranged with Abdurrahman
Khan, the Ameer of Afghanistan, the
basis upon which the British govern
ment had so far proceeded in the
frontier affair, and if further commun-
ication with the Amer on the subject
should become necessary, they would
be made Being asked if Lord Dufferin,
as Viceroysof India, approved of the
governments course toward Russia in
the Afghan dispute, Gladstone refused
to say whether he did or not.

NO. 285.
Her Weight In Gold.

Mrs. Jesus Castro, a Mexican lady :.
now residing at American Flag, in the
Santa Castilina Mountains, is perhaps
the only'woman who. literally speaking,
ever cost her husband her weight in
gold. 1t is said that in the early gold
digging days of California, she was
resident of Sonora, in which state she
was born and grew to womanhood.
When about the age of II paternal
uncle, but few years her senior, re-
turned with his companions, gold-laden
from the FL Dorado of the West, and
became desperately enamored of her.
He sought her hand in marriage and
was accepted, but the church refused,
because of the near relationship exist
ing between them, to solemnize the
marriage. Persuasion being in vain,
he tried the power of gold. She at the
time weighed III pounds, and against
her in the scales the glittering dust was
shoveled. Her affianced husband still
had sufficient OF this worlds goods to
provide comfortable home, and they
were married. They lived happily to-
gether, and she bore to her husband
eleven children. In the course of years
he died and she married again, Mr..
Castro being her second husband. The
above is fact and not fiction, as living
witnesses can prove.

General Grant.

CHICAGO. May doctor George F
Shrady, in the Medical Record, of May
9th, will say of the condition of General
Grant: During the past week General
Grants bodily health was much inn
proved. His appetite is better, and he
has relish for his food. Locally, his
disease shows slight tendency to pro-
gress. The palatal curtain is still con-
siderably infiltrated, although all signs
of the acute infammatory trouble have
disappeared. The liberation at the base
of the right anterior faueial pillar and
alongside the tongue presents worm
eaten surface, indicating an extension
of the destructive process. The breath
ing is free and the voice clear, but the
movements of the tongue are somewhat
restricted, affecting articulation accord
ingly. Despite this favorable condition
there has been no changes in the local
disease to warrant any modification OF
the original diagnosis by the members
of the medical staff"

The Delimitation Inquiry.

LONDON, May THE conference be-
tween Earl Granville and Baron De
Stael, arranged to be held to-day at the
foreign Office, for the purpose offormally
opening the discussion on the delimita-
ton of the Russo-Afghan boundary,
was postponed, as Baron De Stael is
awaiting Communications on the subject
from st. Petersburg. Negotiations con-
tinue on the demand of Granville, that
Russia's assurance that her troops will
not advance to Herat, shall take the
form of a treaty. 1t is reported that NJ.
De Giers maintains that the simple ex-
preston of such an intention is suf-
icient pledge.
Gen. Zelenoy has been recalled from
Tifiis to st. Petersburg. to assist the de-
limitation inquiry. NJ. De Giers has in
structed General Komaroff to prepare a
detailed report, with charts, of the adj
vance on Penjdeh. as a basis for refer
ence to an arbitrator.

Suing for a Big Prop ertx.

CHICAGO, May THE heirs of Stephen
A. Douglass began suit to-day. in the
Superior Court. asking that the Chicago
University property be transferred from
its present helders to them. The prop
erty is advertised for sale next Satur-
day, to satisfy a judgment of
$500, 900 secured by mortgages, and
pect that the university trustees
will not be able to keep ii from going
into other hands, anc possibly into
hands that will devote it to other than
educational uses. This is the principal
ground of the petitioners. They
are Stephen A. Douglass, Jr.,
Mrs. General Williams, formerly
widow of the late Senator Douglass, and
Robert NJ. Douglass, United States
Marshal of North Carolina. The bill
sets forth that ON November 10th, 1856.
Stephen A. Douglass decided ten acres
of land to the trustees to be devoted to
educational purposes; that in this deed
it was stipulated that there must be
no sale nor alienation of the
property, and that it was the intention
of Mr.. Douglass that only educational
interests should be benefited by his gift.
On the ground that the property seems
now likely to be diverted from this use,
the petitioners urge that, in
default of carrying out Stephen
A. Douglass wishes in regard to the
same, the property rightfully belongs to
them, as his heirs. 1t is thought that
the filing of this bill will make business
men chary Of investing upon the occa-
sion of sale.

Coleridge's Bust.

LONDON, May flames Russell Lowell
unveiled the bust of Coleridge, the poet,
IN Westminster Abbey this afternoon.
LONDON. May Previous to the cere-
mony of the unwilling of the bust of
Coleridge, a preliminary gathering was
held in the Chapter house. Besides
Lord Chief Justice Coleridge and Baron
Houghton, there were present Lord
Aberdare, Canon Farrar, Robert
Browning, Professor Blackie and the
whole Coleridge family, including the
grandson and granddaughter of the
poet. Many members of the House of
Commons. noblemen. bishops, deacons,
and large number of Americans were
also in attendance. Dean Bradley and
Mr.. Lowell entered the Chapter
house arm in arm. The dean
made short speech, in which he
heartily. sympathized with much of the
meeting. He paid high tribute to
Mr.. Lowell, and said that he was emf
nently fitted to perform the duty of I'M
yelling the statute. The ceremony,
he said, would add another link to the
many that already bound together Eng
land and America.
Mr.. Lowell replied that he would have
preferred that the task of unwilling the
statute lad been entrusted to worthier
hands, but the fact that the bust is the
gift of the late Rev. DR.. Mercer, of
Rhode Island, through his executrix,
Mrs. Pell. supplied that argument of
fitness. which would otherwise have
been absent. He continued: "All the
waters of the Atlantic cannot wash out
of the consciousness of either nation
that we hold our intellectual property
in common. The literary traditions
and fame of those who shed lus-
tire upon our race remain an
undivided inheritance. Coleridge's
works are companion and teacher in
the happieSt hours of our youth, and in
old age recall the radiant images of
youth which we have lost. Surely there
are no friends so constant as the poets,
among them none more faithful than
Coleridge. Just ffty-one years ago
| became possessed of a pi-
rated American reprint of Cole,
ridge, Shelly and Keats, and trust l
may be pardoned for the delight l took
in it. Coleridge was a metaphysical
teacher and Interpreter, whose services
are incalculable." MIR. Lowell said he
admired, especially, the Ancient Mar
riner, far more indeed than Christabel.

plicity, and yet a finished scholar, al
though not exact. He owed much to
the poetry of others, but most to his
own native genius. He was picturesque
in the best sense of the term. Mr..
Lowell concluded: This is neither the
time nor the place to speak of Coleridge's
conduct to himself, his family or the
world. He left behind him great
name; let those who are blameless
cast the first stone at one who might
have been better had he possessed those
business faculties which make man re-
spectacle. He left US such legacy as
only genius, and genius not always, can
leave" (Cheers.)
Lord Coleridge returned thanks on be-
half of the family. The assemblage then
went to the poets corner, and Mr..
Lowell formally unveiled the statue,
which bears the simple inscription :
Samuel Taylor Coleridge."

THE HAYTHEN.
The Passion Of the Chinese for Flags

The military desire for flags in China
has developed into passion. Every
fortress, intrenched position, camp,
city gate or officers headquarters has
from one to a hundred, some of them
of one bright, solid color, but most are
arranged in stripes, the coIors red,
white and blue being perferred We're
but three stripes used the resemblance
70 the French tri-color would be almost
exact, but as they ordinarily use five or
six the similarity of color becomes a
mere suggestion. When blue. is not OBJ
tainable, black, and rarely yellow, takes
its place. AT the camp of the Tsotsung-
tang,reglment,O on a pleasant knoll just
outside the walls of Kingchung-foo.
more than one hundred large flags were
displayed, ranged with the precision of
the rows in a confield, there being one
for nearly every white canvass tent. in
which the soldiers were comfortably in
stalled. The material used is Manches-
ter cotton, brought white and colored
by the Chinese. As each is about the
size of a common bed-blanket, and
several thousands must be required for
the 10000 troops stationed in and about
Hollow and King-chow-foo, the guam
tity needed is immense, and the mer-
chants who deal in the goods were pre-
pared accordingly. There is no doubt

ZakriefskPs report of the battle of
March 3Oth, is identical with that of
General Komaroff. He admits that the
Afghans were armed with poor rifles,
but says their guns were better than
those of the Russians. He asserts that
the Afghan forces numbered 5000 men,
while there were only 1,500 Russian
troops. He brings with him two cap

A Clue.

CHICAGO. May Tonight the police
here are confident that they have solved
the mystery surrounding the death of
Filippo Caruso. On the evidence fur
nished by little girl, five important
arrests were made this evening. The
suspects are Cicilians of the lowest class
and none of them can speak a word
of English. Their names are Angus
tine Comaa to, Antonio Camirito,
John AERO and Sylyestlne and Bove
Ingnazio. The three last named are
residents where the murdered man
was last seen week ago
last 1 Thursday. Camirito and
Comaato are respectively husband
and brother to the woman Victoria
Camerito, who has been arrested in
New York. A week ago last Thursday
Mamie Cachett, 12-year-old girl, iv-
ing in the vicinity, says she saw FilippO
Caruso enter the house with three of
the suspects above named. About an
hour afterward, she SAYS she
noticed man carrying a large
trunk admitted to the house.
Her description of this trunk leaves
little doubt that it is the one in which
the corpse of the unfortunate Caruso
was shipped to Pittsburg. The man
Jarado, whose arrest is reported
from New York and who apparently fol
lowed the trunk and its CHASTITY content:
to Pittsburg, thence continuing hi:
journey east, is regarded by the polic'
here as beyond doubt one of the meI
present at the murder of Caruso, if NOT
the instigator of the crime.

On the Warpath.

WINNIPEG, May IA wild rumor to-
night that Middleton's force had had a
severe battle with the rebels at Batoche,
has induced great excitement. The
rumor, however, has been pronounced
entirely baseless. 1t is not known that
Middleton had yet moved from camp at
South Gabriels. Adyices from Clark's
Crossing say the steamer Northcote will
be strengthened to-day and her vulner-
able parts rendered bullet proof. She
will go down the stream simultane-
ouslY with the troops and attack Batoche
from the river. ais
Edmonton advices say: The re-
gion north and east of here
is full of hostiles. In fact
all the Indians west of Battleford
are in war paint. The settlers have all
fled. John Walkinshaw and Albert
Hardness, both from Ontario, were
killed by the Big Bears band over a
week ago. Their wives and the wives
of the two missionaries are prisoners.
All four women are being frightfully
maltreated. Scouts from the northeast
say that Colonel Otter will have fear
full time of it. Poundmaker, Little
Child and all the other chiefs are on the
war path. A number of half breeds are
directing them. Major Steele was to
have sent word back when he reached
Edmonton. but nothing has been heard
from him. There is perfect panic in
the Eleanor districts. Scores of home.
steads have been burned.
