A Gespatch from Berlin, dated December 8, says that the French military officers now prisoners of war in Germany protest against the restoration of the Bonapartes, FURTHER RESIQTANCE USBLESS. Za Situation of this city in an editorial to-day has the following:—“Further resistance on the part of the French will end in anarchy or the permanent occupa- tion of the country by the conquerors or the armed intervention of neutrals, Intervention would be worse than either anarchy or foreign occupation. ‘The guilt of further resistance would not be on the men of the 4th of September, but upon the counsels lors of the empire, who prevented the Empress from making terms after Sedan, The Senators of the empire, the Empress presiding, must now meet and make peace with the conquerors.” A CONGRESS TO ASSEMBLE AT VERSAILLES. ‘The Manchester Guardian to-day has a report that & congress of princes will soon meet at Versatiles.

Facts and Interesting Personalia. A WOMAN SOLDIER. A wounded soldier recentiy passed through Berlin whoexcited general attention, being a woman. She 1s twenty-four years of age. Her name 1s Bertha Weiss. She was born at Schonburg and educated at a respectable establishment at Raguit. She soon, however, evinced a singular preference for manly attire, apd acted as civillan servant to a captain of the eT ee regiment at Treves, with whose family she had occasion to @ long journey to the south, Her good conduct induced ‘her master to provide for her fusther education, so that she was competent to pass the ensign’s examination, Shortly before the war, provided with a recommendation from the captain, and with- out being subjected to a sirict surgical examina- tion, she entered his regiment and teok part in the battle of Spicheren. Transierred to the Crown Prince’s regiment, ale succeeded in the bat- tle of Gravelotte, urst alone and afterwards sup- ported by two men, m Feoovering the flag of the Sixteenth infantry regiment, which haa beca seized by the French, She received in this expieit four bullet wounds, one of which, in the knee, dis-* abled her from walking. She received from Prince Frederick Charles tor her bravery the second class of the Iron Cross, as well a8 an autograph certiil- cate couched im the most flattering terms, She therein styled Bernard von Weiss, and is granted a Turlough. THE SWORDS OF THE TWO NAPOLEONS. Napoleon the First’s sword, conquered by Prince Blucher a Waterloo, has found its place of honer in the Prussian “itintary College at Berlin, the Mar- shal having made a a of it. King William has followed the Marshal’s example by bestowing the sword which Napoleon Il. gave up at Sedan on tue same college, to be preserved side by side with that ef the first Napoleon, 63 COUNT BISMARCK ON BOMBARDMENTS, A correspondent of the Landon Standard, re- cently escaped from Paris, writes:—The fact 1s that Bismarck has long really recognized the practical impregnability of Parts. I do not think it ie @ breach of confidence for me to inform you of a speech Of Bismarck’s which was reported to me im- mediately before the investment. Having it from a genueman high in the diplomatic service, to whom une speech Was made, i Cui guarantee to the fullest extent Its authenuc tye t must have the city,’ suid the Uhancellor, **vefore [ go away, and I will nave it if I pave to burn down the hait of it pefore I can get in.” It is not clemency, but necessity; not generosity, but policy, wiich has chosen we sysiem of investment and of “starving out.” With regard to the attempted erec- tion of batteries by the Prussians I may quote @ very illustrative reiaark made receptly by Whe same astute Prussian Minister. ‘The only ais- advantage,” se he writes In his note upon the armis- luce question, “iba: 4 cessation of hostilities could impose upon the French would be the necessity of discontinuing their extraordinary and incompre- hensible practice of firing from thelr torts.” ‘The nalf-veiied petulence of this little sally betrays the annoyance of the besieging generais better than whole volumes of correspondence from Versailles. ‘the fact is that the French guniers from the forts persistently destroy, day aller day, the incipient batteries which the Prussians at first as persistently attempted dally to set up. This “extraordinary and incompreliensible practice” has kept ail the ground within fair range of the forts entirely clear of the enemy and of his gums. I have met and talked with a dozen officers at least who have seen the Prussian batteries thus de- molished by the forts, The usual practice now 1s to note down every morning the spots wkere any ope- ration has been going on during the night. The practised eye of the marines distinguishes at a Ininute’s glance the site where such operation hus been going on. Powerful telescopes reveal the nature of the work, and the amusement of the day © nsists in pointing the great gans accurately on the spot, Atnight, when the enemy comes out like a bird of evil emen te continue his operations, he is saluted with a shower of obus for his ewn personal benefit, and of heavy boudets for that of his earth- works. If any ef tne latter remain undemolished till the morning a few more discharges complete the de- struction during the next day. ‘This is the explana- tion of tae concert which enlivens Paris every night. Its preparation and execution form almest the only occupation of the stout marimes imprisoned in the forts, and they Work at it with a will. PRUSSIAN FUNERALS AT VERSAILLES. Aletter from Versailles, of November 25, thus de- scribes the funeral ceremonies daily taking place there:—as I sat writing yesterday afternoon in the Hotel de France I heard the mournful wat of funereal musi¢, out in the Place d’Armes. From out the paiace, which is one huge hospital, there came winding @ long procession, headed by @ military band. Behind the band there ‘were three coffins, one covered by a biack pall, tho other twe by white palis, and all borne aloft on trestles on the shoulders of soldiers, Behind the cottins marched the muurners, consisting of a band of officers, and the rear was brought up by a de- tachment of soidiers bel their arms. To the dirge-like strains the procession slowly crossed the Plave d’Armes, aud wound through the streets to the cemetery. There, in a corner, is the great grave of the strangers—of those who are to be sojourners in a strange jand till the sounding of the last trura- pet, Not a few have aiready been buried below that raised parallelogram of red earth; for there are many sick and wounded in the vast halls of the palace, and the precession I am witnessing is one of daily occurrence, Already tender hangs hss re been at work among the red clay. Headstones are set up and chrysanuthem ums planted. One grave—that of @ Heutenant—1s ralled in already, Around the great open trench was collected a motley group, the front ers cemposed of the street boys of Versailles. Belind them sveod many wo- men; in the background were seldiers of all arma, who had come down to the cemetery to pay the last lark of respect to their dead eomrades, Slowly the rocession wound up to the grave’s month, and the band, wheeling to one wide, Continued to sound its dismal meanings. ‘The imeurners touk post on eher side, and the tirst.coflin was moved close up to the grave. Twe Freuch grave diggers seized it, bore 1b lerward, placed it across the rope-, and lowered it down to a third man in the votwm, who packed it away on eae site. There was ne near rela- tive there to lower the the dead sukiier into the grave; the reai mourning for him 18 .yet to come iM some quiet village of the Fatoerland, when the Feldpestbriel reaches tie sim- ple bousehold anuouncing that its member with the army will return ho more. The other two cofins were lowered in like manner, the band still sound. jug its solemn strams, the street boys standing in unwonted silence and stillness, hushed inte awe. Thea came foiward Herr Pastor, the chapiain of ine division, in long black robes and casket-like cap, bis hands clasped over his breast, The Germans haye no set fanerai service; it is leit tothe clergy- inan to make the most of the cccasion over the open grave. Very much of the occasion ald this most 4 eloquent chaplain make. He spoke of the dead there as ‘our comrades, our friends, our brethren, of their death in a righteous cause, of taew having met tneir fate as valiant soldiers Nghting for taeir King and for their Fatuerland.”” Much more said he that would be out of place to quote, AMERICAN AMBULANCES, The ambulance in Paris which is considered the best 1s the American, The wounded are uader canvas, but the tents are pot cold and yet the veniila- fien is admirable, ‘The American surgeons are said to be far more skilfalin the treatment of gunshot wounds than their French colleagues.

THE TUNNEL “FROG” WAR Superintendent Bucker of the Erie Railroad .Held for Trial on a Charge of Obstructing the Matls—Another Blockade Threatened. United States Commissioner Jackson's court in Jersey Clty was yesterday morning totally occupied by the Erie and Norris aud Essex officials. General Superintendent Bucker and Division Super- intent Berthoud, of the Erie Railway, were called up for examination on the charge of obstruct- ing the United States mails, Among the witnesses Produced were the mail agents, who testified that several mails were delayed in consequence of the track at the Bergen tunnel being blocked up by locomotive No, 343, of the Erie Railway, so that no trains could pass, Mr. John G, Morford, train despatcher on the Mor- ria and Essex Ratiroad, testified that Mr. Rucker was standing beside the locomotive and gave orders: that it be RUN ACROSS THE TRACK. He would not allow the obstruction to be re- moved. The witness saw Mr, Berthoud there, but he did not hear him give any orders, It may be here observed that Mr, Berthoud was Superiuten- dent of the Morris and Essex Ratiroad till about @ year and a hall ago. Mr, Scudder, counsel for the Erte, asked if there ‘were any officer ef the United States present to take ohurge of the case. He thought it VERY SINGULAR that the United States authorities in Jersey Clty should enter upon the case at all, as it’ was well known to his clients that the United States. authorities did not desire to involve thenigelves in a controversy bevween two raliroad corporations. Counsel then proceeded to cross-examine Mr. Morford and asked whetier lis Was not a dificulty between the two railroads to enable the Boonton branch te get a tlle gto right of way throug the tunnel. ‘The question was overruled. The witness testified that the “frog” was put down. by the Morris and Essex nen, but be did not see ti ag tear up tue rail on the Eric track, although was A NECESSITY before the frog could be put down. During the examination it transpired that Mr. Bchoch, Superintendent of tne Morris ana Lssex, sent for Sheriff Mount and @ posse of deputies; that Depaty Koop was sent to Commissioner Jackson, ‘Who.iformed him that if any officer of the ratiroad made the proper aitidavit he (the Commissioner) ‘would send to the Brooklyn Navy Yard for marines, Commissioner Jackson, after hearing all the testl- mony, discharged Mr. Berthoud and held Mr. Racker to bail in $2.500 for trial. Gisman, the en- gineer of locomotive No. 343, was aiso held in a like amount, and Charles G. Sisson became their bonds- man. ANOTHER BLOCKADE THREATENED. The Delaware, Lackawanna ana Western Railroad officials seem disposed te blockade the nm ta nel again. It will be remembered that Chief Justice Beasley issued an injunction restraining the officers of the Morris and Essex Railroad from altering in any Way the present status of tke Boynton Branch, or Morris and Essex railroads, so far as it would in any way affect the road of the Erie Railroad Company. Mr. Sloan has, however, issued a time table, in which it Is announeed that all the trains of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western road and its connections shall pass through the Bergen tunnel by the new rail, via Paterson and Boont on Mon- @ay next. In consequence of this Mr. Jay Gould has forwarded the following letter to Mr. Sloan:— PRESIDENTS OFFIOR, ERIE BUILDING, New VoRK, Dec. 10,1810." To SAMUEL SLOAN, President of the Delaware, Lacka- wanna and Wostern Railroad Company, and SaMUzL Sock, Superintendent :— GENTLEMEN—I am informed that you intend to run pas senger trains between Paterson and Hobokeo over your Boonton Branch Railroad, commencing on Monday, Decem- der 12, 1870, ‘This is in violation not only of your at the time of commencing the tunnel suit,” but o1 Junction of the Court of Cha: Altering in any way, inanner or degree, whatever a8 of said Boonton Branch Kailroad or the Morris and Essex Raflrond so far as the same will affect the rights of the Erie irog# Company. If you permit this thing to bedone I shall cause application to be made to the Court of Chancery, find have you punished for violating the fojunction of ‘that court, JAY GOCLD, Prendent Erie Railroad Company. Mr. Gould waited in his office until a late hour last evening in the hope of hearing from Mr. Sloan, but no reply came. The Erie managers have taken caution to prevent the interruption of travel on their road. Governor Kandolph has been notified of the scan of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western ofmicials. cement MURDER ON THE RAIL. The Latest Morris Essex Horror—Core- ners Inquest Yesterday—Criminal Nezli- gence Expesed—Tie Company Held Respon- ibleAnotheyr Shocking Affair Last Night, The particulars of the killing of Mr. Erastus 1. Hughey, « master builder of Newark, through being struck by the locomotive of a train on the Morris and Essex Ratiroad, last Wednesday night, at the Nesbitt street crossing, have already been published inthe HERALD, together with the empaneliing of a coroner’s jury, with @ view of holding an inquest, which, thanks to the wholesome strictures in the HERALD regarding tne careless manner of doing business by the county physictan, Dr. Dodd, that officer saw fit to order. On Thursday, aiter the body had been reviewed by the jury, the inquisition was adjourned till yesterday. It was resumed shortly before ten o’clock, and it was just nine o'clock at night when a verdict was rendere4, The most important testimony elicited was that of a flagman stationed at Nesbitt street crossing and his friend and cemrade. THE FLAGMAN, Matthew Grin, swore that he had been stationed there about three months; that he had been in the company’s employ fifteen years; that through his having misplaced a switch once before a serious accideut took place; that he gave the parties in the wagen on Woaeeeey, night motice by swinging a white light; that he did not use a red light to signal the approaching train, as by law required, and that there was no such light provided for him by the company all the time he was there; ek to his being stationed there there was a red lamp, but it was broken, and though ‘ THR COMPANY HAD BEEN REPEATEDLY NOTIFIED it had never been repaired or replaced. The testimony of the physicians, Drs. Dodd, Hilt and W. 8. Ward, went to show that the wound caused by the locomotive was sufficient to cause death, he wound was in the rear of the right ear, wellback. It was sought by the company to show that the fall off the shutter while entering his home had caused Mr. hey’s death, but this theory failed miserably, Mr. Van Amburg, deceased's artner, and another man, who were with Hughey in the wagon, swore that Griffin was just coming out of the fagman’s house when they were on the track, ‘THE VERDICT. After a deliberation of about an hour the jury ren- dered @ verdict a8 follows:—"That Erastus L. Hughey, late of the city of Newark, in sald county, came to his death from injuries received from an engine of the Bloomfeld Ratlrodd, a branch of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Westera Railroad Com. pany, Morris and Essex division, at Nesbitt street crossing, in said city, on Wednesday evening, De- cember 7, 1870, and that the said company are re- sponsible for nis death in not furnishing proper sig- nals and flagman for said crossing.” Last night a {oung unmarried man, supposed to be Henry nae t, & moulder, in the employ of Cyrus Currier, tron founder, was struck at the Chestnut street depot, In Newark, by the locomotive of the 6:40 train from New York and his skull fractured, He was removed in 4 dying condition to St. Barna- bas’ Hospital. Horrible Death—A Young Man Killed by a Lecomotive—His Body Terribly Manaled. Alamentable accident, resulting in the death of one of the most respected citizens of Bridgeport, Conn., occurred on Friday afternoon tn that city. As Mr. Frederick Wood, formerly of the firm of Wood Brothers, carriage makers of that city, was driving from the lumber yard of Messrs, Lyon, Curtis & Co., accompanied by his eldest son, Augus- tus N. Wood, reeived the locomotive used by the Housatonic Railroad Company as a switching engine approaching at 80 short distance that he could neither cross the track nor check his horse. With great presence of mind he quick.y turned his horse upon the track ahead of uke engine, urging him forward at a pace that soon placed him out of danger. Kis sap. less fortunate, attempted to save himself by jimping from the carriage, but slipped amd feli directly in front of the engine, the wheels of which passed over his body, causing instantaneous death. The body was conveyed to the residence of his father, where an inquest was held anda verdict rendered in accordance with the facts, Mr. Woed leaves a wife and one child. "HONOR TO FARRAGUT.

There is iittie reliance, however, to be placed im this allegation against the Gov ernor. It arises, probabiy, from his opposition to some of the appointments made by the President in Louisiana, Durmg his recent visit here Governor Warmoth spoke in the most eheerful manner, not only of the material prosperity of the State, but of the continued supremacy of the republican party. Still, looking at the Southern section altogether, the general impression among Southern politicians here is that, according to pre- sent appearance, a majority of the Southern States ‘Will go democratic at the next Presidential election.

THE ALABAMA [MBROGLIO. ‘The indications are that Governor Smith has thrown up the sponge and will vacate his violent possession of the gubernatorial office to Governor Lindsay. It 1s thought here that this is the resuls of some arrangement between the contending parties, with the hope of reconciling conflicting raal- road schemes by mutual concessions, Smith, find- ing himseif compietely outflanked by the judicial proceedings instituted against him, bas wisely con- cluded to make the best of a bad bargatn, and in order to save some of his friends and to keep up his falling fortunes has doubtless exacted terms in his surrender by which he hopes to turn an honest #) penny in the future, There can be no question of the fact that, politically, he 1s a6 dead as @ herring, and can mever come to the surface, unless the Prest- dent sees ft to resurrect him in his havof unfortu- nates ‘to be provided for,” Congressman Bulkley arrived trom Montgomery last night, but the rest of the delegation, Messrs, Hays, Buck and Heflin, have not yet put in an ap- pearance, Mr. Hays, it is thought, wili not come to Washington until after Christmas, as he employs a Jarge number of freedmen on his plantations and ia compeliea to make new contracts with them after the holldays, Senator Warner Is expected daily, and will come to Washington flerce as @ hornet afver his signal de- feat for re-election by Judge Goldthwaite. It 1s said that he has shipped by express from Alabama a large consignment of “halters” which he found use» less in the last campaign, notwithstanding nis oft- repeated assertion that the true plan to reconstruct the Seuth was the policy of Andrew Jehnson, “with amnesty in one hand and the halter in the other.’ ‘There never was in any other Senatorial canvass as much effort made to secure the election of the ad- ministration favorite, and the defeat ef Senator Warner is looked upon a3 @ signal reverse and as a federal-patronage rout—horse, foo! and dragoons— even worse than the late campatgh in New York, | However, Senator Warner will be comfortably taken care of by the President, and he is being named in connection with the oilices of Governor of Utah or family of the deceased. The casket containing the remains had an outer casing of rosewood, adorned with wreaths and crosses of choice flowers, and the face of the deceased was exposed to view. On the ‘Wall was a full lef{th picture of the General, taken in his earlier years, Rey. Dr. Buck, of the Protes- tant Episcopal Church, read the funcral service, | and was followed by Rey. Dr. Samson, of the Bap, tist denomination, in a brief address, in which he spoke of the great intellectual capacity of the de- ceased, and his prominence ii moral and public enterprises, and of his Christian faith in the uying hour. The procession, which was a very long one, moved to Glenwood Cemetery, where ihe bedy of Mr. Walbridge was interred. It is understood that the deceased had endeavored to bring about a more friendly relationship than had for some time existed between President Grant and Horace Greeley. As an incident of the funeral it was noticed that after the services at the cemetery were concluded the President went over to where Greeley was standing and invited him to ride back in his carriage with him. It was observed, also, that Senator Fenton, who had so strongly opposed Mr, Morphy’s confirmation as Collector of New York and Mr. Morphy himself were among the pall-bear!, ers. The solemnity of the occasion suggested the idea that, perhaps, certain reconcillations may havo resuited from this meeting at the grave of the de- parted General, The Adininistration Organ for Sale. Colonel Forney announces in the Chronicie to-day that that paper is for sale. The ostensible reason for selling it 1s said to be that Forney proposes to go to Philadelphia and devote his attention exclusively to the Press, It 1s well known, however, that the administration has net accorded the Chronicle tho suppert which Colonel Forney expected, although the relations between himself and the President are of the most cordial character. It is understood that some gentlemen connected with the administration | have made @ good business offer for the paper. Colonel Forney proposes to close out the concern immediately. Government Protection of Immigrants. The spectal committee represented by Governor E. M. McOook, of Colorado; H. Mattson, of Min- nesota, and Colonel M. R. Mackie, of Pennsylvania, having in charge the memorial prepared under the resolutions recently passed, with much unanimity, by the National Emigration Convention, held in Indianapolis last month, have been in session in this city making the necessary preliminaries for the early introduction of a bill in Congress for the proper protection of emigrants, both on the ocean and on land, while in transit to their piace of des- tnation. New York Custom Hose Appointments, The Secretary of the Treasury to-day confirmed the appointments of Cyrus T. Frost and Thomas Gilies- ple, Clerks, and E. L. Payne, Inspector, New York Custom House. New Notes for National Banks, ‘The recommendation of the Secretary of the Trea- sury in his recent report that an appropriation be made and authority be given for the issue of new bills for the national banks upon such paper and upon such form as may be designated by him, will, if carried ont, involve an expenditure of $750,000, ‘and it 1s very doubtful whether such authority will be conferred at this session of Congress. Kansas Pacifi: Railway Commissioners. ‘The President nas appointed Isaac H. Stargeon, of Missouri; J. A. Thatcher, of Minnesota, and Hollon Richardson, of Maryland, Commissioners of the Kansas and Denver Pacific railways, and they have been instructed by the Secretary of the In- terior to meet at Kansas City on the 19th inst. to examipe and repost on the roads and telegraph lines of said companies, Another Defaultiug Naval Paymaster. Naval Paymaster Forbes Parker. who will shortly ve brought before the naval court martial in ses- sion in this city, acknowledges that nis accounts are some $45,000 short. An examination of the vouchers show, however, that this amount will be increased, as he is charged with having made pay- ments that cannot be allowed by the department supervising the settlement of his affairs, Brigham Young’s Income Tax. The collection of the tax recently decided to be due from Brigham Young, as trustee fofthe Ohurch of Latter Day Saints, has, in consequence of repre- sentations which have been made that the intent of the law exempting certain religious communities was to include that of which Yeung 1s the head, been suspended for reargument or for legislation.

ST. DOMINGO. The friends of the St. Domingo acgnisition are not pleased with the re-election of Senaier Kobertson, of South Caroiint, Whove heswity to the ratification of the treaty is understood io be unappeasable and im- placable. He accomplished his re-election without any ald from Washington whatever, and secured the coveted prize of a six years’ term in the Senate through convincing arguments of his personal wene- rosity. He 1s, therefore, in an independent condi- tion, and as his term of office will carry him throagh the next Presidential campaign he is m excelient shape to dictate his own Leriuis. It wul be remembered that the President took Senator Robertson with him in his fishing party to Pennsylvania jast summer, When the ¢astle of the clan Cameron at Lochiel Was stormed, The angung Jor fish was satd to have been goed; put no Senator was landed In the basket, notwithstanding that the | water clement Was supplanted by champagne.

Anybedy who thinks Andy Johnson has shuffled off tis mortal pohiticel coilis sadly mistaken.

At latest accounts he was busily engaged in snub- bing Edmund Cooper, his late private secretary, and all the other Qoopers, including Henry Cooper, the Senator elect to succeed Fowler, and also in de- nouncing the new State constituiton as revolutionae Ty and wnrepubilcan. He was annoyed ut the republican party for putting @ candidate In the field for Gevernor at the late elee- tiou, as he desired to run independently against the demecratic-conservative nominee—the Coufede- rate Generai John ©.

Unfortunately there are no Offices to fill in Lennessee for the next year or mere, and hence Do one can tell which place Andy Johnson most desires, He has, however, tne future in store, and gives due notice that he will consecrate the remainder of his days vo the oid fag of the Union, with all its stars, as soon as Georgia gets ree aumitied. ‘The hatchet is therefore in a fair way to be buried between Andy Johoson and Brownlow, Maynard and Bald Eagie Stokes; and Tennessee republicans do not hesitate to predict that by 1872 he will be fully prepared to support General Grant's re-election and lake @ piace in the laiter’s Cabinet, should he win another ?. esidenwal victory. THE NEWBURG MURDERER, It 1s now stated that the case of Robert Bufum, indicted for the murder of John L. Seavecns at Newburg in August last, will not reach atrial, Hig counsel, J. Hallock Drake, of that city, says that the plea of not guilty, entered at the recent session of the Orange County Oyer aud Terminer held at New- burg, When Buifum was arraigued to plead to the Indictmen:, will be withdrawn, and a piea of gullty of murder in the second degree entertained at the January term of that court, to be held in Goslien, and sentence of imprisonment for life will probably be Imposed. There seems to be no doubs in the “minds of those famiilar with the caso and competent to judge that the murder was comiutied by Buffum while iu a fit of insanity, and his relatives have expressed a desire thatdn case he should be acquitted on the charge of wilful murder he might be Kept in custody, as it was dangerous to allow lium to go atlarge. They say that even were he co return to the hospital on his eign his come dition might apparently limprove and lead 10 his dige charge, only to result in auother terrible u somewhere, like that which horrified the people of Newburg in August last. in view of ail the circum. stances the counsel for the people aud for the pris soner are agreed that the contemplated disposiuon: of the case will be the best possible, although Mr, Drake is confident that his client could be cleared on, the ground of insanity. ~~ BOYS IN BLUE, Uniforming the Custom House OM iale—Trape ping the “Frands.? Collector Marphy is now devising a regular system of uniforming the Custom House officials, especially the day and night inspectors, This proceeding is rendered necessary from the fact that a umber of Inen have possessed themselves of the badges of the department, and blackmail, not only un- suspecting emigrants, but captains and others ar- riving from foreign porte.
