BOSTON, Sept. 2.-Among the pas
sengers on the steamer Canada from

General Charles j. Paine, who. with
Senator Wolcott of Colorado and ex-
Vice President Stevenson, formed the
Monetary Commission appointed by the
President to visit Europe in the inter-

General Paine viii return to Europe

BRITISH INDIA UPRISING.
NO DECISIVE NEWS FROM THE
FRONTIER.
Serious Fight Imminent at Hangu
and Shabkadar-Reinfo
ments to the Front.

BOMBAY, Sept. 2.-There is no de-
cisive news from anywhere along the
frontier this morning. The centers of
interest are Hangu and Shabkadar,
where serious fighting is imminent.
The Second Regiment Of Gourkhas,
with Brigadier- General Heatman-
Briggs and his staff, has arrived at
Hangu. There the camp, which was
opened and scattered, has been formed
into a defensible position, surrounded
by sheltered trenches and breastworks
of earth bags. The camp has also been
we'll supplied with stores and ammu-
milton.
According to reliable reports, there
are 10000 hostile Oraksis on the hills
surrounding Hangu. General Heat
man-Briggs has with him a mountain
battery, the Royal Irish Regiment and
five native regiments.
The Eighteenth Bengal Lancers and
the Ninth Field Battery are at Ship
wari, to cut off the retreat of the enc
my.
Latest advices from Shabkadar say
that the Haddes Mullah is threatening
the front of that place, where the en-
emy has collected in great numbers.
Colonel Mills, who is in command at
Shabkadar has at his disposal the
Twentieth Punjab Infantry, the Thir-
ty-ninth Gukhas, the Thirteenth Ben
gal Lancers, a battery of field artillery
and a wing of the Somersetshire Light
Infantry The balance of the Somer-
setshire regiment and the Twenty-sixth
Punjab Infantry are on their way to
reinforce Colonel Mills at Shabkadar.
REBELS DEFEATED.
SIMLA, Sept. 2.-Colonel Abbott,
with two guns and a squadron of the
First Regiment of Sikhs, has attacked
1,500 of the enemy at Doabakdo, on
the road from Hangu to Thiel.
The Orakzais fed, the cavalry fail
ing to cut off their retreat.
SIMLA, Sept. 2.-British forces have
taken offensive measures. This knowl-
edge will probably have a deterrent
effect upon the tribes all along the
frontier. A reported expedition con-
sisting of 10000 men will shortly be
sent into Afridis.

GRAECo-TURKIsH TROUBLE.
No Settlement Yet Reached in the
Peace Neg tiations.

ATHENS, Sept. 2.-In response to an
offer of the Government to cede GER
tain revenues as a guarantee for claims
of bondholders, the reply of Germany,
which was received yesterday, refuses
to enter into any discussion with ref
erence to the old loans until the peace
conference shall have arrived at a de-
cision upon the whole financial ques-
ton. This reply created a disagree
able impression. The German Minister
to-day had an interview with Premier
Bali, who subsequently, with other
Ministers, conferred with the King.
The British Government resolutely
adheres to Lord Salisbury's demand
for the complete evacuation of Thes-
sally by the Turkish troops, independent
of any financial questions.

A Custom-House Incident.

They had just got the new scheme for
inspecting baggage by x-rays in oper-
alton, and the naughty young woman
who had just got off the steamer was
waiting to have hers inspected. Fur
thermore, she thought there had been
more delay than was necessary, and
she was somewhat provoked. Conse-
quently, when one of the officials mo-
toned her to step a little to one side
she declined to move.
There was a short consultation
among the officials, and one of them
finally advanced toward her.

Guests had arrived unexpectedly at the country parsonage on Sun day morning. The weekly supply of butter had run short, so the hos pitiable host dispatched old Joe, the colored man, to his neighbor, MT. Paul. whose dairy always boasted a surplus. The parson proceeded to church with his well prepared ser mon on some of the best sayings of the great apostle and was we'll un- der way with 1t when old Joe,' re- turning empty handed, concluded he would quietly slip in and hear his master preach. ~
 Just as he entered the preacher leaned over the pulpit, stretched forth his hand with a most impress i've interrogation in voice and man. ner, and called out, And what did Paul say?" Distinctly sounded through the church old Joe's reply:

 After practice the basso whiS- pered in her ears as she descended the stairs:
 "Ha! I have discovered your se- cret. You love the tenor"
 How did you find it out?" she faltered, blushing rosy red.
