At Newmarket this week bad luck has at- tended all American efforts to win races. Barrett, who has turned into a rogue, ran on every day of the mecting, his nearest ap- proach to winning being on Thursday, when he ran second to Tristan for the llorse Ieatn Stakes. He is evidently a worse horse than many supposed, and if Mx. Lorillard had = depended on him instead of Iroquois he would have been nearer \Jast than first for the Derby. Foxhall, at whose imerey the Summer. Cup was apparent- ily, did not compete, he having been allowed wa rest for the present. ‘The: stables over which Pincus presides expects to do great things at Goodwood, and to follow them up at Doncaster by winning the St. Leger, for ‘svhich race, however, the American is not so good a favorit as Peregrine, who, many say, ‘willbe ridden by Archer. At present no final arrangements have been made. THE IRISH LAND BILL, Special Cabie. Lonpoy, July 9.—The progress of the Land “bill quite justifies Mr. Gladstone’s prediction tof its probable passage next week through ‘the House of Commons. Few of the jremaining clauses are likely to ex teite protracted opposition. The state- jment made. by the -laborers that i Secretary Forster received reveals undoubt- }edly the weak spot of the measure which does so much for the tenant and farmer, and 60 little for the laborer, whom the tenant op. presses not Jess than the landlord oppresses ‘ the tenant, ee: ‘MHE REDUCTION OF THE AMERICAN DEBT. The Economist again criticises the debt reduction policy of the American Govern- ment, and caleulates that the present un- . precedented surplus witl probably be in- creased during the ensuing twelve months. At contemplates the probability of the whole outstanding debt being converted be- fore many years into 3 per cent s bonds. It urges that taxation is kept needlesly high, because the lowering ‘of the interest is not dependent on maintain- :ing the present rapid rate of payment. The Economist makes all this the basis of an argument against the tariff, desiring to ap- ply the surplus revenue to the reduction of the import duties rather than the reduction of the debt. THE BANK OF ENGLAND AND SILVER. ‘The same journal, describing the proposal of the Bank of England to buy silvercto be held in its issue department, reasserts that the bank will not buy unless it can buy safely, nor under any eircumstances buy a large amount = It seems now inclined to favor excessive coin- age of silver by other countries as a means of protecting the Bank of singland against Joss in such transactions. It complains that ‘the American Government delays stating what it is willing todo. Business-men here continue to regard THE MONETARY CONFERENCE as of little practical importance, and ridi- eule the idea that Englund is likely to make a sacrifice in order to benefit the American sliver kings. Lord Salisbury’s speech in the debate on sugar duties on Thursday is regarded, not- withstanding a categorical denial, as_in- tended to raise the reciprocity flag, and as foreshadowing the Conservative purpose to attempt a protective relief in some form for British manufacturers. KING “ KATICO.”” ‘The London season having thus far been unusually quiet, the arrival of Kalakaua, King of the Sandwich Islands, has been 4 godsend to the givers of garden par- fies and kettledrums. He is the fashionable lion, and goes everywhere. He admires the English ladies and is greatly taken with their style of evenine dress, It puts him in mind of home. He dehaves himself very well except at dinner, when he drinks more than is good for him. He wanted very much to kiss the Lord Mayor at a — banquet at the Mansion House the other evening, and Was very much excited at the Italian oper hast dine | with night. He is to Mr, Gladstone ext week. ‘The peo- le and the West End tradesmen do not, however, pay much respect to his esty, for they have not forgotten, and are Rot likely to forget the exploits of that Father of All Elephants, Lord of Twenty-seven Un- salas, and accomplished, “Deadbeat,” the TRE PRINCE OF WALES. 5 j,, There is some talk again of a movement in Pattiament for inducing Mr. Gladstone to “¢ tha annual crant to tha Prince of. Wales. His Royal Highness has had to } Assume during the twenty years of ‘his Royal mother’s widowhood many of the duties really devolving upon the Queen, and. is deeply in debt. His case, indeed, is not | unlike that of the last Duke of York, who, on proposing the health of “Mr. Coutts, my ! banker for twenty years,” was staggered : when Mr. Coutts replied: “I beg your Royal Highness’ pardon. It is your Royal High. ness who has done me the honor to keep my money for twenty years.” F THE RADICAL ELEMENT is far too strong in the Cabinet and in Par- lament for Mr. Gladstone (even were he so inclined, which’ I doubt) to venture on asking an additional grant, or a hunp sum, to appease the Prinee’s erediiors. The Duke of Edinburg is the’ only member of-{ the Royal family, the Queen, of course, ex cepted, whose habits enable him to put by something for arainy day. But he is always extremely generous at the public expense, who as your neighbors, the Canadians, had to foot his bills at H. when the Princess Louise arrived there in 1878, can testify. The Duchess of Edin- burg has become quite popular of Iate. The people sympathized with her in the fearful tragedy at St. Petersburg, and it is easy to see from her pallid face that she lives in constant dread of belug summoned home by another catastrophe. THE MURDERER OF Mm. GOLD. Although Arthur Lefroy, the alleged mur- derer of Mr. Gold, was sent away from Lon- don as early as 7:50 o'clock this morning, a large crowd had assembled at the tiondon Bridge Station, and but for the. strong guard of police the prisoner would have been. put out of ni: then, and there. He has lived fora fortnight in a wretched coffee-house in Stepney, almost. without food, and looks nearly starved. Scotland Yard (the criminal investigation departinent, as it las been called since the reorganization after the Meikiejghn Druscoviteh business) left nothing un- done to eateh Lefroy, but his arrest was due not to police vigilance, but to that of the lodging-house keeper, an ol woman named Sinith, who recognized him from the hue-and-cry pictures, and will get the whole of the reward of £200 for her shrewdness. The pblice say that he seemed to be much relieved when captured. Me had shaved off his whiskers and cut his hair, and, although he denies all -knowledge of the crime, his flight. concealment, and attempt to disguise himself lly amount toa pleaof guilty. Hie touk his arrest yesterday very coolly, but this morning he was much depressed and frightened at the menacing attitude of the mob at the railway He will be tried at Lewes, the assize to’ ot the County of Sussex, in which the crime was committed, at the winter assizes in ) vember. He was taken before the Magis trates at East Grinstead to-day and remanded for a week. ERIE PREFERENCE SHAREIMOLDERS the July interest on bonds has exercised a depressing influence upon the whole market. Confidence in the honesty of railroad management in the United States has been iously shak- en by the miserable exhibiuon m by one or two ~ roads. Atlantic mortgage bonds have been bought largely by small investors during the fast six months, and the conduct of Devereaux and the Cleveland Directors excites bitter com- plaint. ‘These circumstances, in conjunction with the operations of the “syndicate,” tend more and more to drive British capital away from American enterprises. PATIL + Somany rumors and exaggerated state- ments have been spread abroad respecting Mme. Patti’s proposed visit to America that revorter felt justified in procuring ah in- rview with the famous diva. He found Mme, ti in her beautifui Londen homein Prim- rose Hill Road, which is fitted in a style of exquisit taste and Inxury. Mme. Patti said she had quite made up her mind to visit America, and that passage for herself and M. Nicolini, her seere- tary, M. Franchi, and her personal attend- ants had been already taken _ for the Servia, sailing Oct. 22. Mme. Patti said: “I shall not delay my visit, which has been Jong delayed and anticipated. I wish io visit the home of my youth while my voice is still at its best. They will then hear what Jam the present moment, and jude for ‘hemselves the truth of what has been said aboutme. Iwould not lke the Americans to say PATTI HAS COME MERELY TO GET MONEY. Lwant to go back while my powers of voice are unimpaired, and 1 think they have never been greater. I want to bring back some money, as a souvenir of my visit to the country where I was brought up.” Mme. Patti desires me expressly to contradict the rumors thatshe would demand such extrrvagant prices us S20aseat. The matter of the price of seats was left entirely to her own manager. She has refused to entertain all offers from American and En- glish_ impresarios. Mine. Patti expects to reap a good reward wherever she goes. Her ideas of the expected net gain seem to be surprising in their modesty. Her stay in America will not exceed four months, dur- ing which time she expects to give about thirty concerts. Her-agent in America has already secured halls. Her intention is, be- sides ordinary concerts, to give a few in larger halls, like the Seventh Regiment Ar- mory and Cincinnati Musie-Hall, probably with increased orchestra. ; MME. PATTI WOULD ALSO RE INCLINED, if suitable arrangements were made, to give a few representations of those operas in which she has made her fame, in- cluding one in which she has been never heard, I believe, in Enrope— namely, “Lohengrin,” singing the part of Elisa to Nicoliui's Lohengrin. I was somewhat surprised to learn that Mime. Patti isas devoted a Wagnerian as M. Nicolini, who ean still give a rendering of “The Knight of the Grail’? equal to most tenors of the Italian stage, and that she was asked by Hans Richter, and promised to sing the part of Gundry in Wagner’s new opera, “ Parcival,’? at Bayreuth, if the character would suit her physique. To carry out her American tour, Mme. Patti chas made some financtal sacrifices, and has refused 20,000 francs: per evening at Monte Carlo, and at Madrid for the winter season 10,000 francs for thirty nights, with a splen- did mansion valued at 300,000 franes to be her own property, and deeded forever so as to induce her to repeat her visits. ‘So,” added’ Mine. Patti, laughingly, “I don’t think I shall be charged with visiting America SbPLY FOR THE Te POSE OF MAKING z : if * You will be glad to lgarn that Mme. Patti is in splendid voice. [heard her as Guilietta in Gownod’s opera a few nights ago with M.. Nicolini as Fomco, She held audience spell-bound = with ~— her liant and imopassiuned singing. M. elini, the . most envied of men, was received with chilling silence, but he soon secured generous acknowledgment yor his thoroughly artistic work. Mme Patth would, I believe. regret to leave America without haying been seen in the opera in which alone her yet unapproachably brill- iant yoiea and splendid dramatic power tind adequate utterance. THE GRAND REVIEW AT WINDSOR. To the Western Associated Press. Loxvon, June 9.—Dhe weather in London this morning is very bright and fine, and it is not too hot forthe grand review of volun- teers by the Queenin the great park at Windsor. ‘The oceasion will be observed as almost a complete holiday. The utmost in- | her terest is felt in the review by all clasees, and itis anticipated that 100,000 spectators. will go to Windsor to-day. The number of volunteers participating is 52,000, much the largest over hithertu assem- bled. ‘The review is considered as an ex- periment to test the possibility of the rapid concentration of volunteer troops, of whom there are about 200,000 on the Island of Great Britain. ‘fhe troops will fall into ling at3. oelock p.m. The Queen will leave the Castle at 5 o’clock, under a Royal salute, and proceed to the Great Park, accompanied by the Princes and Princesses, the Duke of Cambridge, Commander-in-Chief, Gens.

He returned thanks for the invitation, but said he must leave Paris saturday for Russia, to visit on the 18th the grave of his mother, the Coun- tess Skobeletf, who was’ murdered in Rou- melia a year ago, THERE WAS AN ENORMOUS NUMBER OF SPECTATORS f at Windsor to-day to witness the review by the Queen of the volunteer troops. All the members of the Royal family and the Crown Prince and Prineess of. Prussia were present. The scene was remarkably brilliant, Itis believed 60,000 troops participated. No con- tretemps occurred. AQUATIC, The Cornell crew decline to row a series of races with the Dublin University crew, but offer to row them a four-vared race at Put- ney next week. : PID NOT CONFESS, Lefroy, who was arrested yesterday on the charge of murdering Mr. Gold in a Brighton, railway carriage, did not make a confession on being taken into custody.

Merrill walked fairly, buit the others were disqualited for runn' Whryatt, who was the Yavorit, walked fa until the second lap, when he was also dis- qualified, whereupon there was a great scene of disorder and the races were stopped. THE SEEAMEN ARIZONA SUPPOSED TO BE Loxvow, July 9.—A correspondent of the Shipping Gazette at Skull, in the County of Cork, on the southwest coast of Ireland, reports, under date of the 7th instant, as follows: ‘The officer in charge of the Skull Coast Guard, received‘ to-day a package of letters, forty in number, bound by an elastic vand, bronght by aman from Long Island. It is supposed that the man picked up the letters inclosed in a chest or case, as the bundle was quite dry. ‘The finder states that he swam for them. The first Ietter is signed by Capt. Murray, of the steamship Arizona. The others were letters to his wife, and several telegrams, Waifs are coming ashore. The Castle Ulead Skull Coast Guard has been requested to report what the waifs con- sist of.

The farmers of the Central Provinces, the great wheat-grow- ing region, countona good average crop and, so far as an opinion can yet be found, this year’s vintage will be one of the best for fifteen years, Advices from Spain are con- tradictory, but favorable reports predomi- nate, DEAD. Panis, July 9.—The death is announced of St. Victor, the literary and art critic. ‘The report. of the death of Martel, former President of the Senate, is contradicted. ‘THE STATE OF AFFAIS IN ALGERIA AND ‘TUNIS was considered at the council of Ministers to-day.

Special Cable. Panis, July 9.—Before the adjournment of the International Monetary Conference a strong desire for a suspension of the sittings had been manifested by a number of the del- egates from invited Powers,.and a_proposi- tiun earring it imto effect received the unaninous concurrence of the Conference, with an unimportant reservation by Sweden. With this solitary exception . the senti- ment of the delegates, Monometalists and bimetallists, a3 formulated in the resolu- tion of adjournment, was that a recess until next spring might be productive of impor- tant results; that a final dispersal of the Conference at this time would be impolitic, and there were reasons to bope for an ulti- mate understanding, and that the time had arrived for Governmental action and diplo- iatic negotiations. It was generally admit- ted that GRAVE MONETARY EVILS EXIST, thatsome remedy is urgently needed, and. that some of the Inborscot the Conference, such as its ascertainment of the views of the States and its collectind: of materials, have been of the utmostimportance, It is consid- ered that the willingiess expressed by the Bank of England tothold one-fifth of its metallic reserve in silver provided the other nations open their mints to the free coinage of that metal is: iat- tacit admission that a great bimetallic union would restore silver to its former place and yalue as international money, and the rea- sons stated in the resolution of adjournment have a high and very important signiticance. ‘The Conference is regarded here as having attained as great a measure of success as its best friends could have hoped for at present. A DECLARATION, To the Western Associated Presa. Lonpox, Paris correspondent says: sitting of the Monetary Conference, Mr. Evarts, delegate from the United States, read tho following declaration of the French and American delegates in the name of their respective Governmeiits: “The depreciation and great iluctuations in the value of silver relatively to gold, which of late years have shown themselves and which continue to exist, have been and are injurious to conmmerce and general prosperity, and the establishment and maintenance of a fixed relative value between silver and gokl would produce most important’ benefits to the com- merce of the world. “ A convention entered into by an important group of States, by which they should agree to open their mints to the free and unlimited coinage of silver and sold ata fixed propor- tion of weight between gold and silver con- tained in the unit of each metal, and with the full legal-tender faculty to the money thus issued, would cause and maintain a stability fh tho relative yalue in the two metals sult- able to the interests and requirements of the minereial world. Any ratio now or of late in use by any commercial nation, ig adopted by. such an important group of States, could be maintained, but the adoption of a ratio of fifteen and one-half of silver to one of gold would acepmplish the principal object with less disturbance in the monetary systems to be affected by it than any other ratio. Without considering the effect which might be produced toward the desired object by a lesser combination of States, a combination which should include England, Frauce, Germany, and the United ites, With the concurrence of the other States, both in Europe and on the American Continent, which this combination would in- sure, would be adequate to insure, and would be adequate to produce and maintain throughout the commercial world the rv tion between the metals that such a combina- tion should adopt.” -TME HAST, BULGARIA. vA, July 9, ated that the late Vu A Bulgarian Ministers will be charged with matversation in office. ‘fhe present Minister of Finance has notified the Court that de- ts existed in the accounts of the late Min- ers of Interior, of Finanee, and of Foreign Affalrs.

My Russian correspondent again favors me with the following interesting details as to the recent Tehavavat the Court from Gat- china to Peterhot’: “The Emperor, still avoiding the town as much as_ possible, changed his residence on Thursday trom the well-guarded Castle cf Catchina to the equal- ly well protected Palace of Peterhof. ‘The latter, a small port at the mouth of the Neva, is reached in about arbour from Gatchina, by going across the codmecting branches of railway, so as to dispe4se with the journey to town. This, therefore, was the ronte taker by the Czar, the ‘Empress, and their Court. The only account of this transfer of dinperial state is given in the Golos, which is permitted to ha a privileged report- er at the Imperial headquarters, for the: purpose, it would seem, of put- tug matters’ in as rosy a light as possible and of allaying the fears enter- tained for the safety of the Imperial party. ‘This arrangement for the Golas, while giv- ing ita decided monopoly for the moment. oveRits contemporaries in Court ceremonies, does not always give it just those details i which readers are most interested, for news- paper descriptions of Court affairs must be eminently judicious. “There is still, however, something to be learned from the published account. Two squadrons of Life Guards lined both sides of the short road tothe Gatchina station, the public being restricted to the by- ways. The Imperial party drove in an open carriage to the train, where they were met by all the officers in the village. The train started from thé platform amid the silent obeisance of the military present. It may be interesting, however, to note in addition that the direet line of railway from Gatchina, and also its branch at Ligofka, a neighboring village, were strictly guarded by troops. Such is the fear that dynamite may find its way on to or under the rails that for every half a verst there is a sentinel with atont. Besides this, the photographs of all the railway offlici this fine of railroad, but on lodged, to theextent of many hundres the Ministry of Ways and Communications, so that any Nihilists disguised in’ railway costume may be more easily detected. T regular trafic on the main line between ‘Tzarskoe-Selo and St. Petersburg was thrown into such confusion by the'Czar’s first jour- ney to Peterhof that the last passenger ti from TzarskoeSelo, timed-to arrive at mid- night, did not.get into town until past 2 o’cluck in. the morning, ‘The precautions taken at Gatehing will be in no way relaxed at Peterhof, About 200 of the St. Peters- burg police force have been sent down to assist the soldicry. in watching the palace and grounds. It is stated that the guard-ship anchored off Peterhot was lately furnished with an entirely fresh crew and commander, as the first had been compromised by the dis- covery of seditivus pavers on board. “Strenuous erfurts are being nade to find connecting links of evidence between the large number of important political prison- ers now in the hands ofthe authorities in order to give more unity'to the trials which will have to be held in the autumn. ‘The fortre: and prisons are crowded, and in Ofticial circles it is observed that Russia can- not possibly make an exhibition before all the world by trying a thousand or two of po- itical offenders. Many,‘ot course,.are im- prisoned for ignorant complicity in the revo- lutionary propaganda, and thers are charged with more or less minor offgnses against Si Something, however. must be. done with all these prisoners to make room for others, and the only way:to dispose of then quietly and _expeditiously.is by administra- tive deportation. ‘This is the ra judicial procedure which Count Loris Selikoff sought to do away With, togetiérwith the. Secret Police, but people now begin to realize the fact-that the secret potitical deportation, which is their only weapon, cannot in reality be entirely: abolished, whatever party has the day, as long as absolute autocracy exists ut AD Buss ee = ‘NEW YORK.

HER AGENTS HAVE NO FEARS FOR HER SAFETY. Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, New York, July 92—When inquiry was made at the office of the Williams & Guion Steamship Line in regard to the dispatch from London indicating possible disaster to the steamer Arizona, the agent said that he placed no faith in the report. The Long Island referred to in the dispatch was un- doubted an island of that name near Cape Clear. ‘The Arizona sailed from Queens- town last Sunday, and possibly.passed Cape Clear about 2 o'clock in the afternoon of that day, Yet the piel up of the letters, ete., off Long Island was not reported until four days Inter. If any accident bad oceurred to the vessel while i SHE WAS IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD the fact would have become public at that time, as travel was very thick in those wa- ters. ‘The agent here also spoke of the sin- gularity of the circumstances, that the let- ters were said to be dry, and that they were from Capt. Murray to his wife. The Cap- tain’s wife was probably in England, and it was certainly not likely that le would have a package of letters it to. her in his possession when his ship was on her this port. In his opinion the whole s would prove unfounded, Many inquiries were made at the office of the line to-day by the persons who had heard. the report, and dispatches were received from Boston and elsewhere, sent-by persons whose friends. were expected to sail on the Arizona. The vessel is ST STEAMER of the Williams & Guion Line, and is proba bly the swiftest. steamer now crossing the Atlantic. She is due here to-morrow night. Some time ago she had collision with an fee- berg, by which her strength was well tested. ‘The Arizona was built at Glasgow, and was jaunehed in May, 1879, Her dimensions are as follows: Length, 405 feet; beam, 46 feet; depth of hold, 3734 feet. She is of nearly 6,000 tons burden. SUDDEN DEATH OF MRS, BLIZE BRIDGMAN, Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. New York, July 9.—Mrs. Elize Bridgman, the wife of Col. Frank Bridgman, United States Army, died very suddenly this morn- ing in Broadway. Her nephew, Dr. William CG. Boone, who isin the banking business at No. 102 Broadway. received 2 dispatch last evening from Col. Bridgman, who 1s Pay- master on the staff of Lieut.-Gen. Sheridan, in Chieago, asking him to meet Mrs. Bridg- mau at. the Erie Railway station in Jersey City at 7 o'clock this morning. She left Chicago night before last accompanied by her daughter Annie, about 13 years old, and her son Charles, aged about 10 y She was on her way to Vineyard Have ass., Where she awned # cottage and intended tu pass the summer. It was felt that she needed the ex- pected period of rest, as SHE HAD 3 STLY BEEN EXHAUSTED by her duties in nursing her little son through an attack of searlet-fever. But the fact that she started on so longa journey, attended only by her children, shows that she was believed to be in. a fair condition of health and strength. Dr. Boone met the little party in Jersey City, and re marked that Mrs. Bridgman looked @ little pale and seemed fatigued after walking from the ears to the ferry-boat. On arriving in this city he called a carriage and they were driven to the Astor House, where they breakfasted. Mrs. Bridgman was intending to leave for New England this afternoon by the Fall River Line, but was induced by, Dr. Boone to stay at his house, No. 43 Tompkins place, Brooklyn, until to-morrow, although his family were out of town, ‘Tickets by the Fall River Line were then purchased for to- inorrew. After breakfast, AA LITTLE BEFORE NINE i heart si idgman’s daughter expressed a wish eprersthl if Chueh and The Equitable Building.

New Yonk, July 9.—The usual duliness of a-suinimer Saturday seemed inteusilied to- day on ’Change, when revly a Corporal’s guard represented the different trades except in corn, which fliekox sold freely for Sep- tember. This was due to the fact that specu- ative trading was as light as legitimate business. Operaturs on both floors are pla ing Micawber, neither bull nor bear having courage enough to charge the other’s haves, and sedreely enough to scalp the market for their Sunday’s expenses at Con Long Branch, The clef cause of this is the uncertainty as to the po: large operators, who themselve: crop developments and vest retury fore they go into any 1 new opi tions on any of the grain markets. Rumor says that ARMOUR IS LETTING WHEAT ACCUMULATE IN CHICAGO in order to break the market to buy, as he has large freight contracts with the trunk lines for July, taken at the recent break in rates, for which he is short 2 portion ‘of the grain, and that he will not let the market go. up until he secures this amount short, what- ever it may be. Others say that the markets there, as here, are held up by some one who Cottrell represents here, as he is ding up prices this morning, though they do not respond more than thrée-eizhths of a vent to his efforts. Lyon is on ’Change again, and is said to have unloaded on Wall street the bulk of his corn, as it has been Dulling it for three months and before Ur Rufus appeared on the scene last Friday a buyer.
