erty of the Iankrupts reaches the credit
ors. Thus, Ahere is general demorali-
zation of trade in Moscow, Kieff and
other cities, and in all those places the
rich and th4 prominent Jews are, for
the first tine, preparing to leave the
country. Heretofore, the rich Jews in
Russia have been rather Indifferent to
the SUFFERING Of their poorer brethren,
but now all "a changed, and they make
common caise with them. Several of

The Question Hotly Debated Lin the Ken

LOUISVILLE, KY, May 16.-The prom
ised row over the report of the commit
tee on credentials did not materialize in
the state Democratic convention.
Clay's managers were becoming desper-
ate over the drift of affairs and the
Brown men, fearing that the rising
wrath would be visited upon their
candidate, made concessions that
acted as oil upon the troubled waters.
After the row over the silver clause in
the resolutions had been disposed of by
the adoption of free coinage clause,
the convention took ballot on the gov
ernorship, which resulted: Brown

ballot it stood: Brown 284, Clay $50,

Cry OF MEXICO, May 16.--A dispatch
received late Wednesday from Acapulco
says: The Chilian cruiser, Esmeralda en-
tered this port yeste rday and sailed
again to-day. Several of her officers
were ashore and used the wires, and
made various inquiries regarding the
action of the United States, showing
that they had been informed that the
cruiser Charleston had been sent in pur-
suit of the Itata. 1t is believed that the
Esmeralda has steamed north to inter
cept the Itata and protect her should the
Charleston attempt to capture her.
Nothing was purchased here by any of
the officers. The officers who came
ashore were very reticent. but from one
of the sailors it was learned that they
expected to sight the Itata and act as
her convoy down the coast. The opin-
ion prevails here that should the
Charleston attempt to capture the Itata
A Naval Engagement VIII Take Place
and the United States will get the worst
of it. The above dispatch was confirmed
ut the war department, but the officers
were inclined to be reticent. Minister
of War Henojosa said that the Esmer-
aida had sailed into theport on Tuesday
