The Porta lias issued a oiroular declar
ing tbat Bonmania, by bar convention
with Bnaaia, is betraying the interests of
the country and confidence of tbe Sal
tan’s Government. Tbe Porte benoe-
forth considers Bonmania as in tbe pow
er of tbe enemy; therefore all note issuing
during the Bosnian occupation, are in
usurpation of tbe Saltan’s authority. The
Roumanians have taken military poasea-
sion of Tallafat. Tbe garrison consists of
9,000 man, and 40 Krupp guns.

of war with Turkey.

IZING WAS.
London, Hay 4.—In the Austrian
Beioherath and the Hungarian Diet to
day the ministers made identical replies
to the interpellation about the Eastern
question to tbe following effect: Austria
maintains an attitude of benevolent inter
est in the Christian subjects of the Porte,
and while observing striot neutrality re
serves the right to protect its own inter-
eete or intervene with efforts for the ces
sation or localizing of the confliot. The
ministers reoognizing the Emperor's in
ternal connection with and interest in the
affairs in European Turkey, but deem a
resort to warlike measures for their pro

tude of other powers and the oordial sup
port the Government can command from
the representatives of the people when

Panama, April 25.—The war in Colom
bia is considered virtually ended. On tbe
6th instant the Conservative forces were
defeated at Manizalea by General Julian
Trujillo, and the whole Btate of Antioqua
capitulated. On the 16th instant, near
Rio Haeha, a battle was fought between
the forces of Generals Ponoe, Liberal, and
Farias, Oonaervative, or rebel, in which
Ponce is reported victorious. These tri
umphs will undoubtedly put a speedy end
to the war. General Trujillo ia tbe pop
ular candidate for tbe Presidency of Co
lombia. There will probably be no or
ganized opposition. The eleotion ocours
in September next. Congress is in session
at Bogota, and the members almost in a
body have signed and issued a manifesto
in favor of Trujillo's oandidaey.
The war leaves the oountry in a bad
financial condition—forced loans and doa
ble taxes are the result. Business is de
pressed and foreigners feel the depres
sion very much.

EXTBA SESSION OP OONGBESS TO BE CALLED
OOTOBEB FIFTEENTH.
Washington, May 4.—It waa decided at
the meeting of the Cabinet to-day that
the extra session of Congress, rendered
desirable by the failure of tho last Con
gress to pass the army appropriation bill,
is not to be called to meet in June, but
on Ootober 16th. This change of the
original programme was made upon a
careful consideration of the general inter
ests of the oountry, and also in compli
ance with the almost unanimous desire of
the business community as well as of
members of Congress themselves, as far
they could be consulted tbat there should
be no session of Congress this aummsr, if
it could be avoided; and upon
mature inquiry into all the oireumstanoes
of tbe case, it was ascertained that with
out any immediate appropriation of
money, the army can be olothed and sup
plied with all its naoeasaries, and that
until the 15th of October only one regu
lar pay-day has to be passed. It was also
considered that if Congress meets in Oc
tober, it msy remain in continuous ses
sion, and finish its business before next
summer, so as to avoid tbe inoonvenienoe
of the hot season next year as well as this
year.
The proclamation calling tbe extra
sion at October 16 is to be issued without
delay. *

ANNOUNCEMENT OBEATES CONSTEBNATTON IN
WASHINGTON.
Cabinet remained in session until 3
o’olook. Tbe announcement that the ex

May and June, some eight hundred thou
sand dollars, the half million deficiency
in the Department of Justice must re
main unpaid. Disappointment among
citizens of the District who anticipated
a gay and profitable summer is great.
There is much distress here, for necessa
ries of life, which the extra session would
have practically relieved.
MEMBEBS OF CABINET ON THE POSTPONE
MENT.
Special to Enquirer-Sun ]
Washington, May 4.—Tbe paragraph
telegraphed early to-night waa from the
offloial bulletin. A member of the Cab
inet sayB the change from the 4th of June
to the 15th of October was determined
upon further reasons stated in the bulle
tin, and in any degree from apprehension
on the part of the administration aa to
the consequence of the disousaion of tbe
President’s Southern policy. This mat
ter, he says, was taken into consideration
in Cabinet delibertions. In foot this gen
tleman continued, looking at the question
from a merely political standpoint, we
sbonld bear in mind that the oritioisms
and attacks on this polioy should be made
at an early date, and tbat all possible ex
plosions of wrath should quiokly occur
and thus the sooner expend whatever
foroe they may possess.
Another member explains in regard to
the postponement of an appropriation for
the army that the aoldiers are now paid
only once in two months, and that no
very great inoonvenienoe will be cansed
to them by the intermission of one pay
day, as this has happened to most of them
heretofore. The offloers, it is believed,
can quite readily obtain money for a few
months upon their pay rolls, and there is
authority for providing for quartermaster
and oommissary stores. Of oourse in
these calculations it ia anticipated Con
gress will promptly pass tbe appropriation.
About $12,000,000 will be required to
carry on tbe army between 11 rat of July
and the time Congress can pasa the ap-
priation bill.

PHESBYTEHIAN HEREBY.
TBIAL OP BEV. JOHN MILLED—BE IS DEPOSED
FBOM THE MINISTBE AND DIVES NOTICE OF
APPEAL TO THE SYNOD.
Tbenton, N. J., Hay 4.—In the trial
of Bev. John Hiller before the New
Brunswick Presbytery Bev. D. Duffield,
on the pert of the prosecution, concluded
bis argument, which was principally de
voted to a defense of tbe legality of the
procedure against Hr. Hiller on the
ground that hia errors were vital. Mr.
Miller’s letter in a New York journal was
read and commented upon, and his vows
as a olergyman were held to be entirely
Inoonaietent with the dootrines he held in
his book. These vows required him to
adhere striotly to Confession of Faith and
Oataohism, and also required him to pre
serve the peaoe and purity of tbs churoh,
both of which he had violated.
Tbe Bev. Dr. Mott followed on the part
of the proseoution, and spoke. Outside
the Confession of Faith and the Oateohism,
he held Mr. Miller to be guilty on the
broad field of Christianity.
The trial was dosed to-day and the
Presbytery, by a unanimous vote, sus
tained the following speoifloationa and
charges:
First—He teaobes thst the soul is not
immortal; tbat at the death of tbe body
it dies, and beoomes extinot until the res
urrection.
Second—That Christ as a child of
Adam, was personally accounted guilty of
Adam’s son; that like other ohildren of
Adam, be inherited a. corrupt nature, and
tbat he needed to be, and was redeemed
byhisown death.
Third—That he teaches there is but
one person in the Godhead.
THE CHABGB.
We charge Mr. Miller with publicly de
nying and asserting important dootrines
of tbe Confession of Faith and the Oate
ohism of our Churoh.
The following resolution was then unan
imously adopted.
Resolved, that Mr. Miller be, and is
hereby suspended from the ministry of
the Presbyterian Church, until suoh time
as he shall make manifest to the satisfac
tion of the Presbytery his renunciation of
the errors ho holds, and his solemn pur
pose no longer to promulgate them.
WHAT HE SAID.
Mr. Miller said it was simply a moral,
intellectual impossibility for bim to re
nounce hia views, and. gave notion of an
appeal to the Bynod. The moderator
then pronounced the sentence in a solemn
manner, after whioh prayer was offered
and tbe Presbytery adjourned.

The Revival of Free Trade,
Bolton Correspondence Springfield Republi
can.]
To resume speoie payments and bow to
do it will soon be very practical ques
tions ; and if you should canvass Boston
to-day you would find a majority of our
people opposed to a high tariff. The
friends of free trade are beginning to be
active, and the free trade organizations
here and at New York and in the West sre
becoming demonstrative. They will cir
culate dooaments and employ sposkers in
the coming season, and they do not de
spair of getting a favorable hearing from
the Hayes Administration, if Schurz con
tinues in tbe Cabinet, though the Penn,
sylvania protectionists are already boast-
ing tbat they have oaptnred the chief
plaoes in the party organization at Wash
ington. Time will show whether or not
this is the oase. At present the friends
of free trade are encouraged, and the pro
tectionists begin to be alarmed. The
strength of the “solid South" will now be
thrown, aa of old, obiefly against protec
tion, and New England is fast changing
ground on that issue. The ourrenoy ques
tion does not interest people much now,
but may soon do so, if the Treasury shows
signs of making practiosl progress toward
resumption.
A GAMBLER’S HEROISM.
AN INCIDENT OF THE BURNING OF THIS OUTH-
EBN HOTEL IN BT. LOUIS.
Time: After midnight. Plaoe: A gam
bling house in St. Louis. Dramatis per-
aonui: Charley Tieman, a gambler (profes
sional.) A large party of gamblers about
a faro table—names unknown—well up in
their business, but bad oharaoters.
Aot 1 (and last.) A orv of fire, noise
and confusion without. Noise increases
and Charley Tieman moves to the win
dow. A fire engine with clanging bell
shoots by in the darkness, leaving a trail
of fire behind. Tieman leaves the win
dow, leavos the faro table, leaves his
money, loaves his half intoxicated com
panions, and goes down in the street.
Near by ia tbe Southern Hotel. That
it is that ia burning. The flames are ah
ready above the roof. The amoks is
bursting from the windows. There are
human beings in the upper story. The
stairoases are oat off by fire. Ladders
are being raised to the eoene. Charley
Tieman asoends and carries down from
the giddy heights a woman. No sooner
is she safe in the street than he mounts
the laddMr again, and, in the faoe of ths
flames, resoues another life from a terri
ble death. Once more he olimbs up the
ladder, aotuated by the fear that a single
human being may perish should hs not
make the exertion. When he reaohes tbe
window tbe Bmoke is pouring from it in
volumes. He does not hesitate, but gropes
his way along the passage, nearly suffooa.
ted by tho dense smoke whioh rushes
along the corridors as through tho funnel
of a blast furnace. This particular ball-
way ia deserted, or if there ia left any
sleeper, the smoke has already carried
him into that deepor sleep from whioh
there is no awakening. Tbe hot flames
bogin to take the place of blaok amoke,
and Charley Tieman is forood to the win
dow at whioh he has entered. Ha is on
the sill. He looks for the ladder on
whioh he haa asoended. Horror of hor
rors ! It is gone I His companions have
forgotten him and removed the ladder to
another window.
Below is the vast sea of human faoes
lit up by the glare of the flames. Above
tbe heavens reflecting baok tbe work of
the fire fiend, and each flttiog oloud set
in bright relief against tbe baok ground
of blue and silver. Behind, the flames
are falling hot, withering.
Tbe man stands in the window frame
and thinks for a moment. A moment? It
is ten years. Ten thousand fanoiee flub
at onoe through his quickened mind. The
boy at his mother's knee—the young man
among his sohool companions—the man
among the hard realities of life. There is
in tbe pioture a young faoe, fair, soft and
set off by a wealth of brown hair. There
is a father, a aistor. There are soenes of
wild recklessness. There are hundreds
of acts that—oh, if they had never been
oommiited! From below some confused
shouts of the multitude. While he stands
irresolute, the heat at hia baok growing
stronger, and over his head the flames
mount up higher into the heavens. There
is but one hope. Ten paces away is the
ladder. H > must jump for it. There is
small chance that he will reaoh the rungs,
but it is the only one.
There is a moment’s prayer—perhaps
tho flrstf or long, long years. A glance at
thefearful gulf,beneath a glance at tbe bri|.
liant heavens. His friends see him spring
into tbe air, and they hear, even above
the puff of the engines, the dull thud as
his hands strike the rungs of the ladder.
Then a body falls through the air. The
crowd turn away in horror, and it comes
orashing on to the bricks, obanging in
one awful instant that stalwait form into
a shapeless mass of broken bones and
bleeding flesh. It iB lifted np slowly,
carefully, tearfully and aarried back into
the room where the soene opened, and
from whioh only a short half hour before
Charley Tieman had gone forth full of
life and health.
Jews In Earopean Polities.
London Public Ledger.]
The London Examiner last week an
nounced thst a Berlin firm of publishers
intended issuing next winter a work en
titled “The Folitioal Influence of the
Jewish Raoe in Europe. ” Our contempo
rary observe etbat, “leaving out of con
sideration the power of Lord Beaoonsfield
(Disraeli) in English, and of M. Gambetta
in French politics, and the growing He-
braio dominance in Russia, particularly in
oities like Odessa, Germany itself would
hardly have been the Germany of to-day
but for tbo exertions with pen and tongue
of such Liberal politicians as Jaooby,
Sonneman, and, above all, Edward Las
ker, tbe ‘natural leader’ of the National
Liberals. ” This is a very poor summary
of the political influence of the Jews in
Europe especially the production of M.
Gambetta as an example of their influ
ence in French politioa. There are many
more Jewish politicians in Franoe of
much greater importance, prominent
amongst them are MM. Oremienx and
Jules Simon. Austria has been entirely
forgotten by our contemporary, notwith
standing that the revolution which neces
sitated tbe flight of Mettonich was or
ganized and led by Jews, and that
amongst tbe most popular members of the
Austrian Parliament are suoh Jewish
statesmen as Hirsob and Kuranda.
Then again the Italian Assem
bly contains several Jewish mem
bers, whose opinions are of great weight,
and theoity of Rome itself—the strong
hold of that power whioh, throughout
long ages, attempted the extermination of
the Jews—numbers amongst its legisla
tive representatives a Jew born and part
ly reared in the Roman Ghetto. Whilst
we are on this subjeot, wo cannot help
remembering tho enormous political
power wielded by the Jews through the
medium of the continental press. In
Germany and Austria the majority of pa
pers belong to Jews, and the most bril
liant journalists are Children of Israel:
and then—finis coronat opue—where in
tbe Examiner'! short summary is any
mention of the influence of the Roths-
ohilds ? The political power of this fami
ly can hardly be estimated. It reminds
us of an aneodote told of the wife of old
Meyer Anselm Rothaohild, whioh ia suffi
cient to illustrate it. To her dying day
she lived in tho Ghetto of her forefath
ers in Frankfort, and attained suoh an
age tbat she saw her sons rise to the posi
tion of the greatest financiers in the
world. 8he never renonnoed her old
gossips, and one day, in 1830, one of her
friends came to her crying, and told her
that her son was ordered to join the mili
tary, and might be killed in the impend
ing war. “Be comforted,’’ answered
Madame Rothaohild in the homely patois
of her district, “I will tell my sons not to
give the Princes money, and then they
will not be able to go to war.”

Gov. Henderaon and daughter wore

sgable. Mias Henderson, however, re
tained her presenoe of mind. The entire
day (Saturday) was passed without food,
and in the vain endeavor to retrace their
steps to the mill, they being in the midst
of forests. In the evening Miss Hender
son began to be alarmed, but kept her
fears from her father. She never onof
thought but that she oouUl-h8rsolf even
tually make her way to some habitation,
but she trembled for the Governor, who
wsb soaroely able to walk a few yards.
As tbe sun went down she tried to drive
across a gully, the whip by this time be
ing worn out, and the horse,
completely given out, slipped baok under
the buggy. At this juncture Miss Hen
derson took her paralytio parent by the
arms, and dragged him out from under
the vehiola, where he had fallen. It was
then determined to abandon the horse
and buggy, and Gov. Henderson and hie
daughter spent tho night under a tree,
the Governor sleeping, but his heroio
daughter not shutting hor eyes. On Sun
day morning MiasSophiasaw that her fath
er must feint unleas sustenance was pro
cured. She therefore left him, deter
mined to make her way to the mill they
had left. Wandering about in the woods
from 6:30 to 9:30 A. M., she heard some
ox bells and ohiokens. She went np
orsek, and spent an honr seeking a plaoe
to oross. At last she got to a negro cot
tage. An old negro took her in a wagon
to the mill; tbe hands turned out en
masse and found the Governor.

The correspondent of tbe Baltimore
Sun, who has just returned from New
Orleaus, and knows the feeliug toward
Hayes by the deposed politicians, says, in
a dispatch to that paper, that the strong
probability is now tbat the whole true in
wardness of the Louisiana Returning
Board prooeedinga will,in a comparatively
short time, be made publio. It is said
tbat Anderson, who came here some days
back in the expectation of securing the
appointment of Ooliector at tbe port of
New Orleans, had the beat reaeon to in
dulge in snob antiaipation, as it was un
derstood to be a part of tbe pay whioh he
was to receive for his servioes. Not only
is Anderaon thus disappointed, but it has
been determined to take from Wells tbe
position of Surveyor of the Port of New
Orleans, whioh he bolds by appointment
of General Grant. Wells and Anderson
are both in bad humor. Paokard foels
muoh more embittered even than they,
and the three have no longer any '
restraining motive to. induoe' them to
hold baok tite-terrtble disclosures which
they- htvf threatened. The facts as to
the offers made by both Wells and An
derson, to “sell out" to the Tilden aide
are pretty well known in their main fea
tures, although the details which Wells
and Anderson oan furnish would be ex
tremely interesting reading. Hut the
principal interest that will attaoli to the
confession of these men will be the re-
oital of their seoret transactions with cer
tain of tbe leading Republicans who went
down to Louisiana last fall after the eleo
tion, not for the purpose of witnessing
an “honest count," as expressed by Pres
ident Grant, but for no other purpose
but to defeat tbs will of tbe people of
Louisiana as expressed at the ballot-box.
The true history of all this business—
whioh, now that the parties to it have
fallen out, may be looked for—is of such
a nature that tbs whole oountry can but
stand aghast, even after its previous fa
miliarity with tbe corruptions and .vil
lainies of Republican politioa in lou-

Editore of the Baltimorean: Your

tainly am not ubiquitous, and feel tompt-
ed to exolaim, like Kip Van Winkle,
‘Well, then, if she is Belle Boyd, who
am I ?"
For the past two or three years a per
son styling herself “Belle Boyd, the Reb
el Spy,” claiming Virginia as her birth
place, has been traveling through tbe
Southern States, regaliog tbe pubbo with
incidents of her exploits in the Shenan
doah Valley, in connection with the arm
ies of Stonewall Jaokton, Banks, Fre
mont, McDowell, and others.
While I have been quietly engagod with
my domestic duties, my husband and
ohildren, for the past nine years, this
woman has been reaming over tho coun
try, using my name, fame and reputation,
taking incidents from an antobiograpby
f published ten or twelve years ago, embel-
ishing and altering to suit herself, and
imposing upon the people and publio at
large.
o the Masonio Lodges she has repre-
resented herself as my father's daughter,
: B. B. Boyd, of Virginia, a Knight
Templar of good standing, and from them
has obtained assistance. Tbe lodge of
whioh my father was a member, Equality
Lodge No. 44, of Martinburg, West Vir
ginia, issued circulars some months ago
to the fraternity throughout the oountry
regarding this imposter, and I had hoped
she would not be enabled to again impose
upon the order.
I have forborne taking any notice of
this matter, as I wished no notoriety.
With me tbe past is the eternal past and
I have no wish to drag it from the grave
in which it lies buried; tho duty to my
self, family and friends oompels me to
remove from tho publio mind the impres
sion tbat the vile imposter, to whom I
have referred, is, or has any claims to the

A PLETHORA OF PEACHES.
DELAWARE OBOWING 20,000,000 BASKETS OF
SPLENDID FRUIT.
Wilmington, Del., April 30.—All the
predictions of a small peach orop this
year have proven to be miatakou ones.
The moat reliable information gathered
%y gentlemen who have been over the
whole Delaware peninsula as agents of
the railroad oompanies to make estimates
of the amonnt of freighting tbat will be
required shows that the orop this year
wiU be the largest known for ten years.
Every avenue is being opened where a
market oan be mads for the disposal of
peaohes in large or small quanti
ties. Oars will be run over the
Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore,
tbe Baltimore and Ohio, Pennsylvania
Central and Beading, and the Amboy
Railroads in time to deliver the fruit in
side of forty-eight boars after it leaves
Delaware. In tbe vioinity of Middleton
whioh iB the riobest peach oountry in the
United States, the trees are all full, and
the condition of the orop over the entire
peninsula is the same. In the peach
growiug districts of Maryland, the orop
will be as good as in Delaware, and the
estimate made by many is not far less
tnan twenty million baskets. On tbe
branch railroads leading into tbe peaoh
country, there will be sufficient to give
large transportation for quite a while.
A particular merit in Baking Powder is
to have it keep good. Kellogg’B is war
ranted to be as good at tbe end of a year as
when opened. Always ready for use.

Oora Pearl is married, or is abont to

not yet made publio, and if the English'

it never will be. And Lucy Hamilton
Hooper is astonished. “This celebrated
female,” she says in a letter to tbs
Graphic, “has fallen sadly into tho sear
and yellow leaf of late. She has been
forced to sell her horses and her superb
equipage no longer attracts all gazers at
the raoes or in tho Bois do Boulogne.
Times sra obanged since tbe duys when
she set tbe fashions, and had a number
of poodles dyed different colors to match
her different dining oostumes. I have
seen her myself out driving in a toilette
of emerald green velvot, with an emerald
green dog on her lap. She was, and atill
is, a superb horsewoman, and still looks
well on horsebaok. But she is old and
faded now, and nobody thinks of copying
her dresses or of even turning to look at
her when she appears in publio. What
does possess men to marrysuoh oreatures?

Oaa Tbonarad Millions of Mualepal
Iudsbtednsss.
Tbe Public, of New York, haa pre
pared a summary of the debts of cities
in this oountry as far aa can be ascertain
ed, and makes the total to be 91,004,060,-
000. In 1870 the reported debts cf the
municipalities recorded in the census
ainouted to 9269,035,551. Since tbat
time there has been an inorease to 9744,-
096,104, or 176 per cent. The debt of
other municipalities was 969,208,978 in
1870, and this with the inorease that bos
naturally accrued oarries tbe total up to
9907,012,886. Adding to this an estima
ted inorease for the past year, we have
tbo present municipal indebtedness of
the country at 91,004,000,000. Com
menting on these faots, the Public says:
It Beems safe to say that the interest
on municipal debts, though not fully
paid, involves a tax of about 960,000,000
yearly. This large sum must be paid in
addition to the ooBt of municipal govern
ment, whioh was over 9114,000,000
in 1870, and haa largely increased
since that time. It is prob
ably muoh within the truth to Bay
that the municipal governments and their
debts cost us 9200,000,000 yearly, and in
addition we pay about 9145,000,000 for
State and county purposes, while the
revenue of the United States Government
ia 9284,000,000. About 9629,000,000
yearly we pay in taxes, besides about
930,000,000 for postal aerviee, and un
known sums in fees to various Federal,
State and looal officials. And, after pay
ing more than 915 per oapita for govern
ment of various sorts, besides untold
millions in foes, we atill find municipal
debts increasing at the rate of more than
$2 per oapita yearly. In 1870 tho assessed
valuation of all property in tbe oountry
waa about $14,000,000,000. Taxation for
various forms of government exoeeds 4.7
per cent, yearly on tbat valuation, and,
inoreovor, the inorease of municipal debts
is abont. 7 per cent, yearly. We either
pay in taxes, or run into debt, at the rate
of 5.4 per cent, yearly on the assessed
value of all pro] erty, and still wo wonder
that we do not prosper.
How Tber*Aak?or a Kiss.
When a Brunswiok girl wants a kiss, sho
says: “Darling,” gives her fellow a look
that goes through him like a galvanic
shock, leans a little oloser and the work is
done. Over in Monroe county tbe girls
are high-toned, and their way is thus: “If
you have not been drinking aud will
promise not to drink any more, I’ll let you
press your lips to mine, which, as yet, are
unprofaned by a kiss." A Moberly girl
says: “Pucker up your mug Jim, and let
me anpper it,” The Dewit girls murmur:
“Dealt U-mge, smear me on tbe gab.” A
Carrolton girl sings: “How puffeotly de
lightful it would be, Chawla, if you and I
were to indulge in a little oaoulatory exer-
ciso.” The Cbillidoth girls whisper: “Old
Alluiagoozleum, hok my ohops or I'll
think you real mean.” A Seneca oounty
girl yells: “Plaster me a good one Jake,
right under the snoot”—Ex.
All this is what tbe Missouri girls say,
and is very steery. But how do the Texas
girlBgoaboutit? Why they sing out in
dulcet tones: “Lasso me Throok, and let
them tarantula bristles of yourn brush the
oan measure, the gratitude whioh ths | grease off under my nose.
