WASHINGTON, Aug. 31-Consul Underwood,
at Glasgow, reports that men who are hired to
care for cattle shipped from this country to
Glasgow often come to serious want and suffer
ing They are usually possessors of certificates
emitting them to passage home on the vessel
which took them out. but no provision is made
for their sustenance while in porr, and it fire.
quently happens that the vessel having dis
charged her cargo, sails for some other port of
The world than America, in which case the
men are helpless. since no other ship will re-
ceive their certificates and not being sailors,
they cannot hope to work their passage. The
consul suggests that if there be way of COM
polling shippers of cattle to provide for the
maintenance of their men while in foreign
ports. and to make sure of their speedy return
home, great and growing evil will be reme-

An Incident That will Probably Determine

AN Incident That Will Probably Determine
Our Rights in These Waters.
NEW YORK, Aug. 3I-A Washington special
to the Post says: "a new point + as been raised
in connection with the seizure by United States
revenue cutter of two Canadian vessels in Beh-
ring straits, on the ground that they were catch
ing seals in waters coded to the United States by
Russia Of the vessels one is said to have been
captured sixty-five miles, and the second 100
miles from the nearest land. The point made is:
Did Russia have the right to convey to the
United States, it did by the terms of its treaty
in Econnection with the sale Of Alaska the
greater part of the Behring straits? Will any
foreign government recognize such right under
international law? If the United States has the
right to prohibit British fishermen from taking
fur-seals 100 miles from land, has not the United
States the same right to prohibit Norwegian
whalers from taking whales within the SAME
seas! Our treaty rights in Behring sea have
never been tested 1t is possible that the seizure
of these two Canadian vessels by our revenue
cutter may bring these rights into dispute. In
quiry made at the S tate Department to day
to ascertain whether the Department had con-
s1dered the matter. Assistant Secretary Porter
said the subject has not yet been brought Off
cially to the attention of the State Department,
it wholly under the cont troll of the Treasury
Department, where it would be likely to remain,
unless the owners of the Canadian vessels should
complain to their government. and Canada
should, in turn, report to the British govern
ment, and the subject IN this manner be called
to the attention of the State Department"

LONDON Aug. 3l-Prince Aexander's jour
ney to Tirnova from Sistova was a series of ova-
TONS The people, headed by the priests, focked
to the different points on the route of the pro-
cession and greeted the Prince with joyous
shouts Of welcome. A large crowd left Tirnova
to meet the Prince at a point five miles distant,
and escorted him into the town amid grea: en-
thusiasm. An address Of welcome was pre-
sented on behalf of the popuace and in reply
Prince Alexander congratulated Tirnova upon
having commenced the counter revolution in his
favor. 1t is now said Prince Alexander will
probably proceed to Philippopolis to day.
Three leaders of the conspiracy against Prince
Alexander, including the treasurer of the revo-
lutionist fund. have taken refuge in Bucharest.
The government decided to expel them, and
notified the refugees that they must leave. The
conspirators thereupon appealed to the Russian
legation for protection. kilograms were passing
between the legation and St Petersburg during
the whole of last night
Prince Alexander will arrive at Philppopolis
tomorrow.
The correspondent of the Berlin Tagblatt at
Frarzsnsbad has had an interview with NJ. de
Giers, in which the Russian Foreign Minister
stated that he would return to ST. Petersburg
on Sept. 3. He would go by way of Berlin, and
would have another conference in that city with
Prince Bismarck Nothing final had been de-
cided with regard to Bulgaria in his recent In
terview with the German Chancellor, as it
was not known that Prince Alexander would re-
turn to Sofia NJ. de Giers said he did not
know what the Cars present intentions were,
but he was sure Russia would not occupy Bull
garia while that country was tranquil Rus
sias position would be very delicate and critical
should Prince Alexander insist upon the execu
ton of the men who led the conspiracy against
him. NJ De Giers spoke in condemnation of
Prince Alexanders course, and, alluding to En-
glands action ia the premises. said that she used
everything that came within her reach as an
instrument against Russia.

An Alleged Scheme for Placing Freedmen
Where Their Votes VIII Count
Washington Special to New York World.
There is a new movement of some magnitude
about to be inaugurated by the national Repub-
lican congressional committee in the way of a
systematic exodus of colored people. 1t has been
matter of long-standing complaint with the
Republican managers that in parts of the South
there are many Republican negroes whose votes
are wasted and that the race is not making any
advancement There has been for several years
an organization to look after this matter. Fred
Douglass, of this city, is president of the organi
cation. He has studied the question carefully
and collected many statistics, The Republican
COMMITTEES, which has large sum of money at
its disposal purposes to distribute these colored
men, before the campaign of 1885, where they
will do the most good. Several age nts have
been making observations and reports upon the
state OF things. 1t is intended to send large
colonies to certain parts of Missouri. where a
few more votes needed, and to Southern In
diana. Dakota too has been considered a good
place for large colony preparatory to its admis-
sion into the Union Milton Turner, coIored
lawyer, of st. Louis who had char ge of the case
of the Indian Territory freedmen before Con.
gress last winter, is actively engaged in the mat
ter, and is highly in favor of sending large col
ony 20 the proposed Territory of Oklahoma.
Representative Funston. of Kansas, who has
recently made trip of observation through the
South, reports that, in many localities, the ne
groes are in worse condition than slavery. He
says that he saw several large plantations in
Georgia and other Southern States where no
money paid the laborers at all. The pro-
prietor had store at a cross road, near the CEN
tire of the plantation and the laborers were paid
entirely from this He says that the proprietors
manage to keep the darkies constantly in debt to
them and thus dependent He thinks there will
never be anything better for the colored people
until they make a break for new quarters.
Secretary Mcpherson, of the congressional
committee, when questioned in regard to the
proposed exodus, was disposed to be rather non
committal. but said that the matter was being
constantly investigated by regular organza-
ton.
