Hene Stemess and Herr Halske, well knawn Berlin electricians, have constructed an clectric rallway about six miles from the Prussian Capital, and gave a publie trial yesterday, A shmple trameear’ with an clectrlc battery concealed between the wheels was propelled over rails resembling the ordinary ones on railronds, thirty-nino inchies apart, and which were connectetl with an electric battery at tho sending station. The greatest specd obiained was cighteen English miles un hour, but a greater rate of speed could be obtalned If necessary. Tur antl-Jewish riots In Southern Rnesia seemn to have had the effect of utterly disor- ganizing soclety nnd businessinterests insome localities. Rallrond traflic has been practical- Iy suspended in some places, as the mob will not permit engineers to work on trains cars’ rying Jewish refugees. The houses of ine~ chanies and tho stores of traders were com- pletely wrecked at nany goluts, work of all kinds was suspended, and now there arg several thousand persons, many of them, rloters, dependent on charity to keep them from starving, Ar yesterday’s session of the Committee of the County Board employed in investigation of the charges agalnst Architect Egun, C. F. Terlolat made some very damaging: state- nients as to the manner In which he secured for Egan the adoption of his plans and tho supervision of the constructlon of the Court~ House, and the money he pald out to bribo County Commlssioners and Aldermen. Peri- olat deelined to furnish the names of the parties who received the money, and by words and netions iudicated that, for the pres- cnt at least, his diselosuresare to be confined to tho ease under Investigation. It now appears that the Bulgarirn coup, d’ctat was the result of Russiun intrigues, ‘The Russlan people were bezinnlng to come pare thelr own political condition with that of the Bulgarinns under the constitution which existed previous to the coup d'etat. ‘T'his was not leston the Russian authorities, who immediately made efforts to induce the Prince of Bulgarla to have his Government conferm more nhearly td the Russtan - model. The result isalrendy gnown. It I8 belleved that the Bulgarian ruler had the sympathy of, Austrla and Germany In this Intest scheme ugainst the liberties of a people, PoSTMASTER-GENERAL JAMES has fssued an order directing that sample coples of new newspapers cannot be sent through the mwalls at newspaper rates until the Post-Of- fice Departinent has first ruled to that effeet, ‘The object of the order Is to prevent the cir- culation of advertising sheels misnamed newspapers through tie malls at the sime rutes ns for established legiinnte nowspapers., The Post-Oftice .autharitics have boeen con- slderably bothered ¢ by these acdvertising sheets, and for the future the senders will have to pay postage at 10 cents per pound,. and not at two cents per pound ns heretofore. Arren the defent of Couklingand the con- firmation of Robertson, President Garfield ig witling to listen to arguments In favor of tha renomination of. the New York ofticials whose namnes were recently withdrawn from the Senate. It is probable thnt notwithstand- ing the abuse instigated by the Conklingites the President, for the:sake of harmony In the party, will be willing to concedo these appolntments,—thatis, I the Conklingites will give up thelr fight on the Administration; it they do not they will be shown no favors. ‘I'he President has so far shown plenty of backbone, e hns given no.sign of sur- render, and there 1s no renson to think that hie will surrender now, Trar eminent reformer, Col. John W. Forney, lectured before that eminently high- toned body, Twmmany Hall, last night on the ** Lifwand Services of ‘Thomas Jefferson.” ‘That other eminent reformer, Uen, Danlel E. Sickles, followed Col, Forney, and be- walled the ovil days on which weare fallen, when “oficehollers nre miserablo ofiice- brokers " ; and then came that more eminent refurmer thun eithor of the other two, who would not boe an oftice-broker for the world, John Kelly, the embodiment of the princi- ples of Jefferson and all that that Implies. ‘The Interesting .trio are well quulifled to speak on reform in politles, Therels a fort- une n store for the theatrical manager who will manuge o star-lecture course for these eminent pursonnges. Puestrn Fenny announced in the French Senate yesterdny that n trenty with Tanis had beon signed the previous day, By the terms of this treaty the Buy virtually accopts a French protectorate for ‘Tunis; the French witl have full tibarty to occupy such positions with thelr troops ns the military authoritles of K'rance deemn necossary; the Iley canuot enter Into any new treaties with other Pow- ers without the permission of Franco; the finuncin! system of the country will be re- formed 8o ns to bring it Into consonanee with French Ideas; and ‘Tunis will have to levy & tax on the troublesomo tribes to pay Frauce o war indomnity. Tho treaty, of course, is deeldedly o jug-handled aifair, and it will be surprising if some of the European Powens do not Interfore to prevent its ratitication. et Tur Republican Senators met In caucus agaln yesterday, and although no vote wus taken, tho tego of the meeting Indleated clearly the purpose of the great majority of those presont to support the Administration. Senator Conkling mada a last appeal In a ruther querulous tone, but without much offeet, - 1t 18 not probable that there whil-be aniother caucus before the nowination of Robertson Is acted upon and confirmed. Conkling’s only hope of avolding luunediate defeat now Is to induce the Democrats to uct with him in proouring an adjournment of the Senate’ before the nomination of Robertsasy can ba acted on, or to induco itdbertson to withdraw, Forthis lat- ter purpbse It 1s sald Senator Platt is now In Now York, but that he éan meot with sue- ceay seems utterly lmprobable. It Is not Mikely that Judge Robertson will euter luto a league with his bitterest gnewy, and glve up this certaluty of obtaining the best paying * otiice In the gift of the President. Thesfact that an effort I3 belng wnde to induce him to take such u step shows plaiuly to what stralts Conkling i3 reduced ; ) 3 1 p ; 3 4 $ §
