Soma, July 16.-The condition of NJ

long been onvinced that he would fall
a victim to the vengeance of the friends
OIL Major Panitza, whom he caused to
be executed after he had been found
guilty of treason in 1890, in conspiring
against the life of Prince Ferdinand.
Since the refusal of the government to
give Nj. Stambuloff his passports to, Carls-
bad, representatives of the diplomatic
corps have frequently called the attention
of the government to the fact that they
became aware that an attempt upon the
IeX-premier's life was impending. 1t is
strange to add, that not single member
of the cabinet has called ON NJ. Stambuloff
since the latter was wounded last night.
Nj. Stambuloff late today made state
ment to the public prosecutor, who has
ordered the arrest of Tlfekchielf, who
was formerly charged with the murder of

General John b. Gordon entranced one
of the most superb audiences of at least
100 people at Chautauqua today, for one
and "a half hours, by one of the most
eloquent and grandly patriotic addresses
ever delivered before the assembly. Peo-
pie i'll large numbers came from San An
tonic, Austin and intermediate points and
from BlancO to Luling and Lockhart. No
sermon or address could be more powerful
in building up the patriotism and strength
ening the character of the people. Old
and young alike wept and laughed and
loved. The general was kept for half an
hour on the platform after the address
eceiving the congratula tons of the people.
Ladies' kissed him and strong men wept
while they held his hand, unable to utter
a word. 1t is an occasion to the old Com
federates never to be forgotten, and their
blessing will attend him to the grave.

is the refusal of a large number OF coun-
Gil members to attend the extra session
of that body, called by the alleged Chief
Bullet to meet at Omulgee on the 18th.
1t is extremely doubtful if quorum will
be present, and if there is, nothing re-
mains for the Bullet faction but violence,
which has been constantly threatened
during the past several weeks. There is
talk of an extra session of the Rump Off

be carried into effect.
Both sides are represented at Washing

ing accounts of troubles experienced by
vessels in entering the harbor:
"The steamer jamaica arrived off this
harbor ON June -, having ON board about
5000 packages of freight, large and small,
for this place. There is but little water
on the bar and the sea has been very
rough on this coast for several days,
making 1T impossible for the Jamaica to
unload until yesterday, when the harbor
tug and two light house tugs went to re-
move the cargo. In attempting to enter
he harbor, one of the tugs was beached.
The tug had on board 600 packages of
freight, mostly Hamburg liquors. Most
of the cargo will be saved
"The value of the tug was $4,000 ana
she will probably be total loss. The
accident will affect business for some
time. The Jamaica viii go to BlueiicldS
and discharge the balance of her cargo.
from which place it will be brought
here"
