EmIn Pasha and the White Traveller Thus Delivered 50 the Willy 0sman Digna.
 SUAk1M, Dec. 16.-The khalifa's letter to Osman Digna stated that 8 steamer expedi- tion to the equator, commanded by Oman Saleh, on arriving at Lado had Emin Pasha and white traveller delivered to them in chains by Emin's officers and troops. Oman saleh in his letter to the khalifa stated that he reached Lado on October Il and that the khedive had sent a white traveller named Stanley with letter telling Emin to go with Stanley and offering the remainder of the force the option of going to Cairo or remain- ing. They refused to enter the Turkish ser- vice and gladly received Oman Saleh Oman Saleh found large quantity of feathers and ivory. He heard that another traveller had visited Emin, but had gone and he was searching for him.
 LONDON, Dec. 17.-A despatch froB1 Suakim to the Times says: The natives do not believe that the equatorial provines have submitted to the mahdi. If they had, the natives say, proclamations 10 the people of Emins territory and other official acts of the mahdi would have been made public and the surrender of Suakim would have been de- manded. A coast guard steamer which has just arrived from the south heard nothing of the alleged capture of Emin.
 BERLIN, Dec 15.-Herr MerinskY, chief of the African missions, thinks that Emin Boy may have been captured, but not Stanley. It is more likely, he says, that the white "traV- eler" referred to by 0sman Digna is Captain Casate, the Italian explorer.
 BERLIN, Dec. 16.-The National Gazette says that if Emin has been captured it be comes more than ever duty and an honor to send an expedition to his assistance. BERLIN, Dec. 16.-The Freissinge Zeitung and other newspapers argue that if the Osman Digna reports are true the Wissmsn expedi- ! ton will be useless. Some journals argue \ that it would take at least four months to cover the distance which the reports mus. travel from Lado and that therefore they must be false

Michigan Custom Officials ssize EIgh- teen Thousand Dollars Worth o1 the Drug Belonging to Canadian synaI- cate.
 SHORT BEACH, Mich, Dec. 1e.-United States officers made big haul of smuggled opium near here Friday night after long tramp in the woods and desperate fight with one of the gang s. W. Day, agent of the United States secret service, and three
 detectives left here to search for smuggled opium known to be secreted in an immense wilderness of second growth pop1ars covering great district in Lincoln and Bloomfield townships. After drive of nearly twenty miles the party halted, put their team in 8 farmers barn and proceeded on foot by a deserted lumber road to penetrate thioket
 passable. After walking for two or three miles. keeping scout well in advance, the sound of horse at full gallop was heard.
 The officers secreted themselves and when the horse came in sight they recognized the rider as Captain Harry Dursnt, who was ar rested last August for smuggling opium but released because of lack of evidence An attempt to capture Durant resulted in the fir ing Of several shots and then Durant attempt ed to retreat. His saddle girth broke, how ever, throwing him off the horse and he es- capped into the thicket. The party followed back the trail of the horse and leaving the road came into 6 cleared space where, by the side of an excavation lay one hundred and twenty-five cases of opium. This was se- cured and brought to Sand Beach. The cap ture is worth between SIS, 1000 and 1000. Durant is the head of gang in this locality who are in the service of Canadian syndi- cate.
 A dispatch from St. Paul says: There is reason to believe that the smuggling con- spiracy which the United States officials discovered here is the formation of the band arrested at Denver and the subsequent seiz-
 ure of 9SO pounds of opium at Saint Vincent ! is far reaching and of greater proportions than was at first supposed. It is certain
 that the opium operation of the smugglers was not confined to opium, but that large quantities of silks and other costly fabrics have been brought to various points on [ the Canadian Pacific railroad consigned to the smugglers. It is known that the gov ernment officers here have recently seized ! several small lots of silks that are said to have been disposed of to St. Paul and Minne- apolis merchants.

WHAT OoNeKEss MAY DO.

No Tariff BilI Before she Christmas Ae-
 eess-Measurss Struggling Through the HOuse-ProsPeet of the River and HarbOr BIl1.
 WASHINGTON, Dec, 16 This is the last week of congress prior to the holiday recess which will probably begin with the adjourn ment next Friday, in accordance with the terms of the resolution now awaiting report from the house comittee on ways and means. In the senate the tariff bill still holds the right of way over all other measures and will be considered from day to day immedi- ately after the routine morning hour busi- ness. During the first week of this season thirty-eight pages of the bill were disposed of in two days, but in the four legislative days of last week progress was restricted to four pages. It is therefore apparent that the remainder of the bill cannot be disposed of before the holiday recess. The morning hours will probably be enlivened by further efforts on the part of Senator Riddleberger to secure consideration of his resolution to dis- cuss the British extradition treaty in open session.
 In the house of representatives tomorrow motions in behalf of committees to pass measures under the suspension of the rules will be in order; but the pending motion made by MT. Dunn of Arkansas, in his in- dividual capacity for the passage of the Nicaraguan Canal bill, will have the right of way, the floor having been yielded to MT. Dunn by MT. Warner, of Missouri, who has a motion pending for the passage of the Oklahoma bill. It is doubtful whether Chairman Blanchard, of the river and harbor committee will make any effort to call up the bill of which he is the champion suspen- sion day; but strenous attempt will be made to secure it's consideration and if possible its passage during the course of the week. A vigorous opposition to this measure will be made by some members who, while favoring works of international improvement believe that the committee has not had sufficient time to formulate proper bill and that the present methods of making appropriations for the measure will be offered, probably @ bill appropriating bulk sum Qarger than the total carried by the bilD to be expended by the chief of engineers under the direction of the Secretary of War upon improvements of national character.
 If not crowded out by the river and harbor bill, the legislative appropriation bill will probably be passed before the end of the week, it contains no provisions likely to give rise to protracted debate; and there is disposition manifested by some members of the committee on elections to call up one or more of the unsettled election cases this week if opportunity offers. The legislative week will close on Friday with a further dis cussion of the Nioaragusn canal bill, if that measure is not disposed of under suspen- sion of the rules tomorrow.

No Pity On sunday Papers.

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-Rev. B. F. Docosta of the Church of St. John, the evangelist, in his sermon toaday attacked the Sunday news papers as opposed to the genius of Christian ity, as public nuisances and az responsible for much immortality and even insanity, and he declared that they should be suppressed for the same reasons that houses of ill fame should be suppressed. The weekday press in general he thought was as good as could be expected. He made an exception, how- ever, of certain New York afternoon paper which he said printed Bible texts at the top of it's columns and sporting news in the col- umns, and was Ca loathsome and hypocriti- cal thing" He analysed the contents of the Sunday papers to support his assertions.

At Center Church-A Touching AlIu-
 aNnR

The four o'clock service at Center church yesterday afternoon was largely attended. In the course of his remarks Rev. Dr. Smyth, the pastor, referred very feelingly to the death of Frank D. Mosher, who had, up to within 8 few days of his illness been the basso in the choir quartetts of the church. Dr. Smyth spoke of the good qual- ities of the deceased, of his excellent char acter, and of the deep sense of bereavement that his death had caused. He recalled the the last song he sang, the words of which were touching, and he read the words, as being most appropriate to the death of the one who had rendered them.

 The resolutions offered by the city attorney and adopted by the board of alderman's last meeting requesting citizens to donate to the city, to be hung on the walls of the alder manic chamber, portraits of ex-mayors, and authorizing the city clerk to obtain photo- graphs of former mayors as far as possible, meets public approval, and many prominent gentlemen of the oity warmly express ap- proval of this patriotic memorial project, as one worthy to be commented especially in a city of the size of New Haven. How his- toricallY interesting would the portraits of all of New Haven's ex-msyors be to the pub lie and what an ornament to our City Halll No doubt the wish of the city in the case will be suitably responded to by the friends of our ex-msyors as far as possible. There are at present three portraits there of ex-Nayor Lewis, ex-Mayor Skinner and ex-Mayor Hol- comb, and after those who can well afford to and would with pleasure donate portraits have contributed, the city could we'll afford to complete the list as far as possible. It is stated that New York, Boston and various other cities each has most interesting array of portraits of it's ex-mayors, and of the ap- propriateness and propriety of such gallery there can of course be no question.

 Thema-AlIison for Secretary Of the
 Treasury.
 INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 16.-Various rumort have been afloat since Mir. Morton's departure among them one that the vice presideut-eleo, left Indianapolis in a disapp ointed mood having been told by General Harrison that he could not appoint Mr. Platt to the posi- ton of Secretary of the Treasury but that he might consider the offer of the navy portfolio and give General Harrison his answer within two weeks-not later, under any circum- stances, than January 1.
 He told Mr. Morton csndidly that the secre- taryship of the treasury had already been given Senator Allison and that the reason for selecting western man was the opposi- ton in many eastern cities to New York man on account of the alleged discrimina- ton in the matter of imports in favor of the merchants of New York. General Harrison said that prominent gentle men of Philadelphia, Boston, Baltimore and other eastern cities had written to him and talked to him on the subject and while he did not know that their statements were true he certainly did not know that they were un- true and he had determined to select a secre- tary from another and entirely different sec- tion of the country.
