Albania in Arms Against
Servia.
Austria May Ba Compiled to Occupy It I
Londox, September IX. —Later ad
vises from Constantinople give
further details of the circumstances
attending the death of Mehemet Ali
Pasha. It seems that at Oinseuge
Piano and Kalasc, even before the
arrival.of Mehemet All, complete
anarchy had gained the upper hand,
and upon hi3 arrival in Jakova, he
found the greatest excitement pre
vailing.among the inhabitants. He
wa3 violently upbraided with having
came to Albania to hand over
the land to the Servians.
The agitation went on increasing,
linding vent especially in vehement
abuse of Abdullah Pasha, Mehemet
Ali’s adjutant. The house selected
by Mehemet Ali for his lodging was
set on fire by the Albanians of Jako
va and Ipek. Then a light began be
tween the incendiaries and Mehemet
Ali’s escort, in which twenty men of
the latter fell. Towards evening,
through the intervention of some
Ulemas, the conflict was app&ased,
the Insurgents promising to observe
a peaceful attitude. About 6 o’clock
in the evening, however, in Jakova,
where Mehemet Ali still remained,
the struggle broke out afresh,
resulting in the death of Abdullah
Pasha, with several officers of the
escort, and the house In which they
took refuge was tired. Mehemet
Ali succeeded in escaping ‘from the
burning building and concealing
himself in a shed close by, but his
hiding place was soon discovered
and he was mercilessly put to death.
The Albanian soague, said to num
ber 4500 well armed and equipped,
are determined to resist the dccupa
tian of their territory by any chris
tion power. There is rauoh talk of
Servia and Montenegro co-operating
with Austria. It is thought possible
at Vienna that the anarchy in Alban
ia may compel Austria to occupy that
province also.

London. Sept. 11.—The Times of
this morning states that there is not
a single encouraging feature in the
cotton trade of North Lancashire.
The condition of the markets is
worse than ever and the outlook
moat gloomy. Good3 are not only
being piled up in the Manchester
warehouses, but are fast accumula
ting in the mill store-rooms. Small
manufacturers with limited means
are obliged to sell at almost any
sacrifice, and before the crisis is pass
ed there is no doubt many of these
firms will succumb.

THE LIFE-SAVING SERVICE.
How the System is Worked 'Experi
ments on the Lakes.
Chicago Tribune .]
Lieutenant F. H. Newoomb, at
tached to tho revenue cutter Andrew
Johnson, to whom has been delega
ted the duty of putting the Chicago
Life-Saving Station in order, was at
the station yesterday morning to
drill the men and instruct them in
their duties. The fact that all the
apparatus Is new and has never been
used makes some active work necessa
ry in order to And out what is present
and what may bo absent, ns well as
to get tho stiffness out of tho ropes
and machinery. On arriving at the
stniiou Lieut. Newcomb found every
thing in excellent order and all
ready. He first orderod a shot from
the mortar to be fired ut rather more
than the usual elevation, and the re
sult was good, the shot carrying out
333 yards of rope. Tho mortar In
question is a little affair, but excel
lently adapted for the purpose. It
has a six-inch bore and carries a solid
shot, to which the line is attached.
It forms a sure and ready means for
taking a line to a distressed vessel
anywuere within range. After the
mortar had satisfactorily proved
itself in good order.thecar wasjried.
This is an iron construction, which
can be closed entirely by a small
door iu the top. It is perhaps four
feet lu diameter and twelve long. A
small line was run from a mast at
the end of the pier across to the point
of land, a distance of 300 feet, and
the working of the ear was the same
as It might have been between a
ship and the shore. The part of the
crew on the pier drew out a hawser
and made it fast, whereupon the
crew on shore ran tho car across od
the rope—or, rather, hanging to it.
It went first without passengers and
then with one or two. The only
hitch iu tho trial was when the Col
lector's Secretary was acting as crew.
Just then a fastening parted and left
the passenger between heaven and
the water cooped up in a tin chest,
like a sardine without oil.
The error was soon rectified, how
ever, and the Secretary hauled
ashore. Tho experiments with the
oar were satisfactory in quickness
and earnostness of tho men. The
equipment of the station includes a
large surf boat aDd the great eigbt
oar of which tnentiou has been made.
There are also rubber suits on the
Boynton plan, life-preservers, and
other paraphernalia in abundance.
CHEAT BRITAIN ANII RUSSIA IN
ASIA.
THEIR CONFLICTING DIPLOMACY,
London, Sept. 9.— lnquiiies iu tht
proper quarters disclose the fact tha
the excitement in British India res
pecting the Russian udvance into
Afghanistan is fully shared in Down
ing street, and it is intimated that
the government has not been at all
negligent of its duty in the premises.
The situation is understood to be
very interesting, and may be thus
stated:
Lord Lytton, acting under instruc
tions from the home Cabinet, has
taken steps to open direct commu
nication with the Ameer of Cabul
and to in a manner compel him to
show his hand and elect between
friendship with England and a re
pulse of Russian overtures or the re-
Lord Lytton has already sent a
special messenger, an officer of high
rank in the Indian service, with a
letter to the Ameer, notifying that
potentate that a mission from the
Viceroy to the Ameer would soon
set out and reach Cabul about Octo
ber 1. The commission would go
soon were it not thought advisable
to allow the forty days of official
mourning for the death of the Am
eer’s heir expectant—Abdulla Jan—
to elapse, The death of this youth has
been a severe blow to the Ameer,
who doted upon him and who strong
ly dislikes his elder son. Yakoob,
who is a gallant soldier, very P°PU'
lar, and a bitter foe to the English.
He has for some time past been kept
in close confinement by his father.
Lord Lytton has conceived the
Idea of effecting a reconcilation be
tween father and son, and thus turn
io# the latter into u. friend through
gratitude.
In the matter of malting advances
upon Afghanistan it is contended
here that Russia has acted with fla
grant dishonesty. In 1869 1 rince
Gortschakoff, in the name of the
Czar, solemnly promised that Russia
would continue to regard Afghanstan
as outside of all Russian action. This
assurance was repeated each time
with groat solemnity in 1874, 1875 and
1876; and now in the face of these
promises, Russia has sent her secret
expedition and private messago to
the Ameer.
In 1873, the Ameer himself in
formed the English envoy, that Rus
sia meant to advance toward his
frontier and demand trading facili
ties, and he asked the envoy what
aid England would afford him if he
resisted the demand. He was an
swered that she would give none at
all, and from that moment the Ameer
has been estranged from England
and attracted toward Russia.
Now, however, under the guidance
of Earl Beaconsfield and Lora Salis
bury, Lord Lytton has assumed a
wholly different tone, and tbo mis
sion to the Ameer is to tell him two
things: , . , ~
1 If he will turn a deaf ear to Rus
sia, England will do everything to
please him.
2. That if he enters into any com
mercial or political relations with
Russia, England will adopt a hos
tile attitude, seal up the Kyber Pass,
and carry out a thorough rectifica
tion of the entire northwest frontier.
Indeed it is admitted in Downing
street that if Russia is permitted to
get a foothold in Afghanistan the
safetv of the British empire in India
is most seriously compromised.
A Fleht With The Bunnocka.

A llrliirlii War In New Haven.
New Haven, Conn., Sept. 7.— There
is n bitter fight going on over the
Bible question in the public schools.
Two meetings wore held this week
by each faction. Among those who
favor the restoration of religious ex -
ercises in the schools are all the
Catholic clergy and many prominent
Republican politicians, including
Postmaster Sperry. The opposing
party met to-night. Professors Sum
ner and Brewer, of Yale, spoke
agaitfat sectarian sohools. Professor
Sumner said that the school system
is in danger and that this ory of no
religion is an attack on the public
schools. Tho fight started over an
attempt of the Board of Education to
dismiss about fifteen Catholic teach
ers. The Catholics established a pa
rochial school, and the priests last
Sunday advised the congregation to
vote against any school fund appro
priation. A member of the Board of
Education says that if no funds are
raised the schools will be closed.
Professor Sumner is on the anti re
ligious exerclso ticket.
Fourteen Tear* After the War.
From the Ironton Register.)
Mr. n. P. Bussell, who dwells near
Ironton, Mo., ploughed up an unex
ploded percussion shell, and wishing
to preserve it as a memento of the
war, put it into a barrel of water and
let it remain for about 0 weeks. On
Thursday be tried to take out its con
tents, using for that purpose a ham
mer and a cold chisel. He held the
shell between his knees, and after a
few strokes it exploded, scattering
its fragments fur and wide, some of
them being heard whizzing through
the air halt a mile distant. Mr. Bus
sell was severely wounded. The mis
sle was fired from one of Price’s guns
in September 18G4.
Dante Quill*.
Goose quills have riot retired from
usefulness because superseded as
writing implements by metallic pens.
The goose feather, on the contrary,
is now applied to a dozen curious
uses. The demand for quills is
greater than ever, and the price
higher than it was id the day of quill
pens. Very large feathers are now
worth S4O per 1,000 in London, and
inferior ones from $4 to $8 per 1.000.
The thin pellicle, ’’brilliantine,” on
the outer-wing feathers, is stripped
off, dyed in bright colors, aud used
to decorate bonnets.
The large plume part is carefully
felted, to be made into carpets that
never wear out. The shaft of the
feather, shredded, i8 made into
brushes, or used iu millinery. The
pith aud waste are worked up into

The cattle in a largo portion of
Bengal are dying at the rate of hun
dreds a day, and the streams are
completely choked with dead bodies.
The decrease in the number and the
deterioration in the quality of. the
agricultural cattle all over British
India is one of the gravest features
to be noted in connection with the
general condition of the peasantry.
In no respect have the various fam
ines produced a more dangerous ef
fect than in this direction. There is
reason to doubt whether either men
or animals obtain a sufficient supply
of food now even in ordinary times.
The consequence is that both suc
cumb wiLti terrible facility to the
slightest scdTcity or to the mildest
disease. Such a state of things
tenda to perpetuate itself.
The quality of the cultivation
falls off with the character of bul
locks employed in it. Deep plough
ing becomes more exceptional, while
the cost of replacing the dead ani
mals by other beasts tends still fur
ther to the impoverishment of the
people. In Madras and Bombay tbe
destruction of cattle has been ap
palling, while in Burmah there has
also been a plague. The general con
dition of the agricultural population
throughout India is such as to occa
sion the gravest uneasiness. Contin
uous impoverishment bids fair to be
followed by continuous famine.
There is scarcity amounting almost
to famine even at this moment in
Madras, Bombay, the northwest
provinces, and Bengal. Yet the only
remedy proposed is increased taxa
tion.— Ex.
