yhe Iiata to Pay $500 for Violation of
Navigation Laws.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE sccretar,
of the treasury has authorized the ac
ceptance Of the offer of the Chiliar
steamer Itata to pay 500 for violation
of our navigation laws in having cleared
from san Diego. Cal. without the neces.
sary permit. This is the full legal pen,
atty for such an ~otfcnse. Its settle
ment has no bearing on the other
charges against the officers of
this vessel, to wit: kidnapping
a federal officer and violating the neu-
trality laws. As to the first of these
charges kidnapping the marshall is
not believed it will lie against an mani
mate object, such as a vessel, though
evidence on that point might still have a
certain value in support of the third
charge violation of the neutrality laws.
1t is understood here, however,
that the actions 50 far tried in the
case of the Robert and Minnie and
that prepared against the Itata apply on
ly to the vessels. The attorney general
is without official information of the
trial, but accepting the published re-
ports as accurate, believes that the ac-
tons may still be brought against the
individual officers of the two vessels. So
that although the officers of the Ttata
have compromised their offense against
the navigation laws, they may still be
amenable to legal prosecution on the
OF kidnapping and also of viola
ton of the neutrality laws.

An Old-Time Episode Brought Up-NOth-
ing In 1t.

New YORK, July 10.-Gen. Daniel f.
Sickles vas shown a dispatch from Chi
cago stating he had been sent by Presi-
dent Lincoln upon a mission to Tennes-
see. While Gen. Sickles did not feel at
liberty to tell all the story of his visit to
Tennessee just prior to the Baltimore
convention which nominated Lincoln
and johnson, he said: II cannot go into
those matters because my relations with
President Lincoln we're of a confidential
nature and even now / do not feel that l
may speak Of them. 1t is true that |
was in Tennessee for several weeks in the
spring prior to the Baltimore convention.
l went there on a special mission from
President Lincoln but this mission was
not Of a nature suggested by the gentle
man in Chicago, to ascertain the senti-
ment or to secure information, to secure
which might affect Johnson's standing
before the convention. My mission was
not a political one. 1t was more of a
diplomatic mission"

acted as second for Joe Burns. while
Billy Mack and Bob johnson performed
a like service for Huntington. Time

Huntington has been slightly ill for sew
eral days. but was in fair condition when
the fight occurred.
Burns was in good condition. but it
was his first fight and taking into con-
sideration this fact he made a good
showing. The gloves used weighed five
ounces-at least they were tive-ounce
gloves. They were the same ones used
by kessler and LaBlanche.
I In the first round Huntington struck
Burns some terrific blows, one of which
reached the most of the latter and
brought the claret. Burns, in return,
however. played a lively tattoo on Hunt
ington, but the latter proved the better
dodger and escaped punishment that he
would have received had he not been
quick at getting out of the way. In the
second round Huntington struck Burns
two uppcr-cut blows which did no great
mount of damage. Burns landed on
Huntington's ribs two or three times,
but otherwise the round was u%nevcntful.

Comma nt- at German Papers OH the En-

startling Rumor.
copyright 1Sn by New York Associated Press.
BrRLIN. July II. The papers of thi
city overflow with accounts of the popu
l9r triumph Of Emperor William in Lon
don. Semi-ohicial papers in comment
ing on the reception of the German
emperor in England adopt a remarkably
guarded tone and avoid all reference tc
an alliance with England us an accom-
plished fact. These papers simply re.
echo the emperor's speech at Guildhall
Thus the North German Gazette re.
marks that the emperor's u%ttcranccs al
Guildhall coincide completely with the
industrious and energetic people of
Great Britain in favor of the main
t~cnancc of peace,
Independent papers criticize the EN-
pcror's reception as emphasizing the
friendly sentiments of England toward
Germany and toward the emperor as IA
relative of the royal family without be
ing a popular endorsement of the policy
of Lord Salisbury.
The Presenting Xeitung holds that the
general character of the celebrations in
honor Of the emperor. and especially
those Of the court and government ac-
cordingly. must be taken as an open
declaration of Englands adhesion to the
dreibund.
Articles in the Russian and French
press. illustrating the intensity OF the
irritation felt in Russia and France tow
ard England are largely quoted.
n startling report which has caused
considerable talk in doplomatic circles
has recently been circulated here. II is
to the effect that M. Ribot.
French minister of foreign affairs,
had approached the Russian govern
ment on the subject of a coalition
against England offering to cooperate
with Russia in the seizure OF CONSTANT
nople and the formation of a new Turk
ish state in Asia embracing Egypt, under
Franco-Rusian protection. Apart from
the question of probabilities of its truth
the report has value as indicating the
tendency of Sailsbury's policy. Nobody
believes that the French and Russian
governments will accept Sails
burys verbal assurances of fricndliness
in the face of England's practical adhesion
to their enemies. Games of diplomacy
against England's retention of Egypt
have been already reopened. According
to the Cologne Gazette the sultan acting
under the promptings of French and
Russian ministers recently held a council
at which it was proposed that the porte
should call a conference of European
powers to consider the question Of the
evacuation of Egypt. kilograms re-
