LONDON, May 4-The Indian and Colonial
exhibition at South KensiDgton was opened by
Qaeen Victoria to-day with great ceremony.
Her majesty, accompanied by the Prince of
Wales, Princess Beatrice and other members
Of the royal family, left Buckingham palace In
"a open carriage drawn by eight cream colored
horses, and received an ovation along the en-
tire route. She seemed In excellent health and
acknowledged the plaudits with repeated
smiles and bows. There was q great assem-
blsge OF the aristocracy at the exhibition. A
special POEM by Lord Tennyson was suns by
Mdme. AlbaDi, Sir Arthur Sullivan conduct
ing the music, and after addresses OF loyalty
from the promoters of the exhibition her maj
esty formally declared 1t open to the public.
VIENNA, May 4.-The rioting and incendi.

conclusion that the disturbauc &c Is the work OF
Russian nihiliste, aided by anarchists from
other countries, AMI have asked Russia, France

LONDON, May 6.-The liberal parliamentary
committee having IN charge the home rule bill
adopts the sam tactics In regard to Glsustone's
manifesto used with such splendid effect In
the case Of his initial speech on the subject.
One hundred thousand copies Of his manifesto
have been printed M scattered broadcast
over the kingdom. The result Of these tactics
Is now evident. The arguments on the tory
side are completely battered down, and any
liberal membe r voting against the home rule
bill will not Care To &c TO his constituents
asking a re election.
ATHENS, May 7.-Greoce dispatched gun
boat to Constantinople TO bring home the rep
resentative OF the Grecian government at the
Turkish court. Troops and munitions of war
are being forwarded 10 the front with all pos
siole haste.
VIENNA, Nay The quarrel between
Greece aud the combined powers Is becoming
more alarming daily. Premier Deliyannis
considers all the correspondent &c between
Greece and the powers since the ultmatum
not binding. The powers sent a demand to
Greece to disarm within eight days. The
eight days expired and the powers took no
steps TO enforce the coercion threatened.
The powers failed to speak when they had the
right to do so, and lost for ever the right to
dictate TO Greece in the present crisis.

Provisions OF the Measure for Admission.

Provisions of the Measure for Admission.
Washington special: The prospects for the
passage OF the Hi bill for the division
Of the territory have increased during
the past week. The bill, as amended provides
for legislative councils for both territories
after the division, twenty being the proposed
membership for the north and double that
number for the south territory. II does not,
as many have supposed, provide for q ms jority
vote OF each section separately, but for a ma
jority vote of the entire territory as now con-
stituted. There has been considerable oppo.
s.tion manifested toward the bill, upon the
assumpti there were to be separate Sec
t,onal vo This is not the case and the fact
cannot too often and emphaticslly
denied. The location Of the capt
tails Of the new territories at Bismarck
and Hureu need not be considered per-
msnent, although II is not unlikely that they
will be. The future will determine where the
capitals shall be. This much may be averred.
almost as an axiom, that tho capitals will be
where q majority OF the people OF the respec-
tive territories eh,ll decide. 1t is provided In
the bill, as amended, that each section shall
assume the Indebtedness of It's public institu-
tons, and shall maintain them. AS eOincing
the interest OF the people in this measure, l am

containing the signatures Of thousands OF PEG.
pie In both sections, asking for favorable ac-
ton BY congress upon the bill. 1t is the
opinion of both Mr.. Day snc Judge
Clifford that there is nothing OF a partisan ma
ture In the bill az now amended. IL the people
shall vote adversely upon the subject, thsi
will end the matter. But II they want d.
vision, they can have 1t, as provided BY this
bill, by so re according their suffrsges. There is
certainly good Democratic doctrine to let the
yoemen strike for themselves, through the
ballot box. There will thus be made an end
OF the everlasting and interminable qusrrels
In which the self-seeklug politicians indulge;
and which puzzle and daze the average con-
greesmsn, until there seems to be nothing but
chaos in the territory. Let II be fully under
stood that the vote OF the entire territory Is TO
be taken, and not the vote OF the sections
separately.

In France the Improvement in the

by the government, VIII ch each year
appropriates certain money which is
pa in award TO successful horSemen.
Each year report is furnished by the
government. which shows the number
of horses and their value at the various
establishments. This report has just
been published and states that the total
number of sres in the twenty-five de-
pots belonging 10 the state was 2,517
at the beginning of last year and that
out Of this total. 2,463 were in actual
use. The loss was As by death, and 2l9
were cast, so that 262 vacanc es have to

which had received the state certificate
of approval was .30S. and OF these 260

sound Nearly fourth of the stations
belonging to the State rs well as the
approved ones were wccdcd out for
roaring or other affect ons of the throat
or lungs. Out of the 2i2 slres purchased
dur NC the year 1G2 were half-breeds.
80 cart-horses, 20 thoroughbreds. and
the rest Arabs. OF the twenty thor
oughbreds five were bought in England
and cost S37. 800. During the past year
7S4 thoroughbreds were foaled in
France. and the total amount of the
prize money given at the various meet
ings was more than 100000. SO that
owners of thoroughbred, have plenty
of opportunities for making them pay
their way, more IN proportion than in
any country i'm the world. The number
of thoroughbred mares on the stud
book last year was 1897. or 81 fewer

antces TO produce bell weighing ono

cieut As an ordinary bell OF twenty
tons. Var Gus attempts have been
made 10 use sheet metal for bells, but
they have all failed hitherto; and the
reason why the inventor ha, attained an
unprecedented success seems % be that
he has hit on a peculiar alloy which
appears to possess some remarkable
properties. Ii is well known that

In the present case, however, method
has been discovered by which bell
metal is produced which will be rcso-
nant in a very gh degree, but admits
of being bent. 1t bears, that is TO say,
about the same relation to ordinary bell
metal that mailcable cast iron bears to
ordinary cast iron. Although the in
vcntor, Mr. Hoffman. of London, is
confident that he can produce very
large bell in this way, he has not made
any, and it remains TO bc seen how far
he will be successful; but he has done
enough already to excite the interest
and claim the attention Of every

THE TELEPHONE INVESTIGATES.
The Attorney General Again Before the
Committee.

Attorney General Garland, DIR. Rogers, and
his son, and Messrs. Van Benthuysen, Sypher,
and Casey Young were in attendance when the
telephone investigation committee met to-day.
The Attorney General was the first witness
called. His attention was called to Mr.. Briesen's
testimony, and he said there were two or three
mistakes in Briesen's account of his interview
at the Department of Justice. He (the Attorney
GeneraU had not expressed any opinion as to
the proper mode of treating Van Benthuysen's
application. When Mr.. Briesen asked leave to
withdraw Van Benthuysens application, wit
ness had told him that he had no jurisdiction;
that the paper had gone out Of his office. Wit
ness had not made any remark in reference to
what would become of an application filed in
the Office afterwards. Witness was positive
about that; he had purposely and premeditated-
ly remained silent on that point.
Mr.. Oates said that it had been alleged and
published that the witness had visited Mr..
Youngs rooms on street while the conference
was In progress.
The witness replied that he had never been i'm
those rooms and did not know until he had seen
it in the newspapers that Mr.. Young had rooms
on G street. He wished to repeat his former
statement that he did not believe that he had
attended a Pan-Electric meeting after the presi-
dental election of 1884, and was positive that
he had never attended one after the Inaugural
ton.
Mr. Oates inquired If any person had in.
timated to witness that an application for suit
would be made and that witness had intimated
that il would be Opportune IL made during his
absence.
The witness positively declared that there
had been no such intimatiOn.
The witness said that he wished TO say a word
about that part OF the testimony OF Colonel
Dana, of the New York Sum-" where in answer
to Mr.. Millard's question he had said that If he
(Mr. Dana) had been in his (witness) place he
would have protected his department against
this suit-that he would have smashedit it. While
he cared little about the matter he might say a
word in reply. 1t had been conceded on all
sides that he had no proper authority to act in
the matter because OF his being a stakeholder in
o rival company, and his relationship to the
country had not changed in his absence from
July to October. when he found that the action
had been taken. The same disability existed as
when he had declined to act in the first in
stance. II that same disability existed then he
put the question to 'COl. Dana" and the COM
mittee how he could have smashed the suit, If
he did not have the ability to institute it.

"There are about 700 OF these nomadic Chey-
ennes, which already gives nearly one square
mile TO each buck, squaw and papoose. The
