THE OLD WORLD.
victor Hugo,s Faneral,

PARIS, May 29.-The official paper publishes
the programme Of Victor Hugos funeral. The
route OF the procession will be through the
Champes Elysees and the Boulveyards st.
German and st. Michael. Monday will be OBJ
served as general holiday. President Grevy
and the diplomatic corps will attend the fun
eral. An immense quantity of floral offerings
has arrived at Paris. The compositors are
having q horal crown prepared at cost of $500
Ireland sends shamrock crown. Hugo was
friendsof Parnell. The Royalists and Oatho-
lies intend to display white flags. The reYolu-
tionary meeting yesterday was secret gather
ing, all reporters being excluded. 1t is believ-
ed that the revolutionists propose to carry at
Hugos funeral red flag SO large that it can
not be mistaken for banner, the government
having decided to allow banners, but not flags
to be borne.
Parnell Preparing fer His lCampaign.
LONDON, May 29.-Mr. Parnell is complet-
ing his list OF candidates for those of the Irish
counties and boroughs which he considers it
worth while to contest at the general elections
IN November. He is making up the list with
view OF capturing as many of the hitherto
Tosy constituencieslas possible by putting men
In the doubtful places, where their personal
popularity, aided by coalitions with the Liber-
ais, where these are practicable, may turn the
scale against the Tories. Those boroughs,
mainly in the south of Ireland, which NAV be
safely counted upon to return Nationalist mem
Ders are to be furnished with weaker candi-
dates whom it would not do to rely upon in
Ulster. In carrying out this system, Mr.. Par
nell has been compelled to change the candi-
dates around with very little regard either for
their present location as members or for the
wishes of the constituencies to which they are
assigned. The complaints generally come from
the strong Home Rule constituencies which
do not want to be deprived of their favorite
members. They are answered by appeals to
their patriotism to let their champions go to
capt0re fields
The Angle Russian Negotiation.
The Daily News this morning says that the
negotiations with Russia are proceeding with
extreme slowness, owing to Lord Kimberley g
absence from London, as the negotiations are
entirely in his hands. That fact that he is
able to leave London, it says, is evidence of
serenity. The illness of Emperor William
makes it extremely improbable that he will act
as arbitrator between England and Russia.
The Afghan boundary Question.
LONDON, May 3O.-The Daily News announ-
ces on the highest authority that Russia's re-
ply to England's counter proposals was re-
celved in London yesterday. The reply in
wolves acceptance Of the proposal and practi-
caily settles in q satisfactory manner the
whole question of the Afghan boundary, Both
Maruchok and Zulfikar remoin in possession of

delinitation have been finally fixed and the

The negotiations have been conducted in the
most friendly spirit on both sides.

Fires have been raging in the woods at the
head waters Of Swift river. Sunday it was re-
ported that they had subsided, and had only
gone over a portion of the land owned by
Young, Rankins & Co. The Byron mail carri-
er told Mr.. Pingree, one of the proprietors Of
No. 6, who was in Mexico Tuesday morning,
that the fire had not reached that township, ,but
the present indications are that a terrible fire
is raging in the down timber Of No. g. From
Mexico, dense volumes of smoke are rising,
and SO far East of Hope City in Byron, that
the people are convinced that the fire is work
ing towards Weld, and is now well over the
line dividing Oxford and Franklin counties.
