The correspondent vouches for the trusteworthi- Ress of his information; but it is probaoly incom- plete, as the triviality of the German complaints donot seem to justify the subsequent significant expressions, The gravest jeature of Prussia’s note is that the complaints are directed against the Belgians generally, whose attitude is therein sonsidered hostile toward Germany. ’ ENGLAND. & WOMAN'S RIGHTS BILL REJECTED BY THE HOUSE OF COMMONS—THE ‘TURBULENT WOMEN” OF AMERICA.

HARRISBURG, Pa., April 7, 1875, Governor Hartranit, who thought he could persuade the warlike miners o! the anthrae cite regions to yield vbedience to law by proclamation and other paper bulletins, has come to the conclusion that this peace policy, while it might draw to his support at the next election many of the belligerent miners, would alienate @ larger portion of voters from him, Alter hesitating over @ week the Governor to-day resolved to send troops to Luzerne county to protect persons and property in that county, information having been conveyed him by General Osborne of this necessity, Contrary to the original intention a Philadelphia regiment was entrusted with the work of pacifying the disturbeis of the peace, provably because many of the members of the regiments in Generai Usborne’s division sympa- Shiga witn the miners in the war against corpora- ons. THE GOVERNOR'S BURDEN, The mining trouvles have given the Governor much concern and be has been greatly perplexed as to the course he should pursue to do htm politi- cally most good, A despatch was read tn this city to-night at nine o'clock irom a member of the Legisiature, residing at Hazelton, stating that tne troops were arriving, but no necessity existed tor their presence, every thiag being peacelul, without violence of any kind. THE CHANGE IN THE SITUATION. ‘ The situation nas been changed very materially in the last twenty-four hours, as will be seen by the Jollowing despatches, and, uniess the distarb- ances cease with the presence of the military, it apprenended that some bloody work will be done, Official notice has been given ana every opportunity afforded the rioters to retire to their homes, and if further Violence ensues and the authorities are: resisted the whole milttary power of the State will be used if necessary to eniorce obedience to the laws. Peaceiul means to allay these troubles having been exhausted, more rigorous measures will Row be resorted to and sufficient troops sent to quell avy uprising, however formidable, THE SCHUYLKILL REGION, Additional intelligence received irom the Schuy!- kil region is contained in a@ letter trom J.

EXCITEMENT IN PITTSTON OVER THE MILITARY MOVEMENT—ANOTHER STRIKE EXPECTED. PrrrsTon, Pa., April 7, 1875. A large meeting of miners, mostly at work for the Pennsylvania Coal Company, was held bere last night. None but members of the Union were admitied, Ithas been ascertained that tne ob- ject of the meeting was to consult as to the feast- bility of joining in the present great strike of the miners througuout the coal regions in this vicinity. A very large number of candidates joined the ranks of the Union. The organization has succeeded in gainiog strength amoug the Pennsylvania Coal Company’s men for the past | 1ew Weeks, aud the object of the leaders appears to be to get a Majority of them in the Union and then strike. ject 18 being very earnestiy debated.

QUIET TRANSFER OF THE TROOPS—NO CONFLICT WITH THE MINERS APPREHENDED. WILKESBARRE, Pa., April 7, 1875. There is no particular exciiement in the city to- Bight over the military movements which have taken place. Everything has been managed with the secrecy of a grand cimpaign, and the troops have gone off so quietly as hardly to attract general attention. The action of the Governor is of course Ireely commented upon, but the popular opiuion is tnat he has adopted the only allernauve which romises to restore peace and save property. ieneral Osvorne’s lorce will be sufficiently strong to secure the object he has in view, and there is Not the slightest jear that there will be any con- flict between the soldiers and the disaifected miners. TWO REGIMENTS OF INFANTRY AND ONE OF AR- TILLERY ORDERED TO HAZLETON—SUICIDAL POLICY OF THE MINERS. HAZLETON, Pa., April 7, 1875. Two regiments of infantry and one of artillery are ordered here and expected to-day. About fifty of the special police who arrived last mgh . left early this morning jor Philadelphia, frightened: engineers and firemen at Highiand, last evening, resulted in those men refusing to continue to work, while at Eckley the same notices fatled to intimidate those jor whom they were intended there being a special police force of flity men stationed there, Which was considered sufficient protection. The suterdat policy of the men in stopping the pumps may be readily understood when the fact 1s Stated that if a compromise should be mmed- ately effected, it Will take from four to five months Lo pump those mines dry whien have deen flooded, until whiten time no coal can ve mined and tne miners must necessarily remain idie, The excite. ment among the citizens over the meeting of last nigat is very great and has for the moment an- sorved ali other topics almost to the exciusion of | the outside troubies, and orderly to-day.

Otherwise our town is quiet Stockton to-day, and the miners, at meeting especially callea to consider the question, ab- solutely refused to assist im putting it out, although such actimn on their part is in direct opposition to their interests. A messenger from Stockton has just arrived for assistance to put ous the fire, and @ squad of special poilce have been de- tailed for that purpo-e, Mr, Lindermano, the proprietor of the tockton Company, has telegraphed here offering our steam fire en- gee company $10,000 1: they will quench hg | ire. ‘he pumps at Buck Mountain ure all idie and a ra qd is jooked for at that place to-night, One com- any of hity men are to be detailed for service here Immediately on their arrival here. SPECULATION ON THE PROBABLE ACTION OF THE MINERS’ CONVENTION TO-DAY—SPREAD OF SCRANTON, Pa., April 7, 1875. The tabor crisis is the engrossing topto of dis- cussion in and around this city, and much anxiety is felt as to the action to be taken by the miners uf the Wyoming and Lackawanna coal region at their generat convention, to be held here to-mor- row. Attbat meeting the deputation of miners which waited on W. R, Storrs, the General Agent of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Rail- roady last evening, wil! report the answer they received, namely—that the company cannot grant the desired advance of ten per cent at pres ent, and @ vote Will then be taken on the all-im- portant question—to st: ike or not to strike, Messrs. Siney and Welsh, of the Scnuylkill ree gion, arrived here to-day and will address the men, although what line of action they intend to advise 1s not known, On the occasion of Mr. Siney’s last vistt here he advised no strike and it 18 expected that he will do the same again. The men are anxious to continue at work and will do So unless somo extraordinary pressure ts brought to bear upon them, The miners employed at the National Mine of the Wyoming and Susquehanna Coal Company, at Minooka, three miles from this city, struck work to the number of 300 this morning for an advance often per cent, and itis expected that the em- ployés of the Meadow Brook and Fellows’ Mines Will strike to-day. ‘These are private corporations and are not at all connected with any of the large produeing coal companies, REPORTED SETTLEMENT OF THE PHIGADELPHIA AND READING DIFFICULTY.

AN EXCITING CONTEST, WITH A SURPRISING RE- SULT—NO ELECTION FOR GOVERNOR BY THE PEOPLE—NO ELECTION FOR SENATOR AND SEVERAL REPRESENTATIVES IN PROVIDENCE— THE LICENSE PARTY TRIUMPHANT. PROVIDENCE, April 7, 1875. The election to-day was one of the most exciting | © held for years, and the result 1s surprise to all parties. The Lippitt men, relying upon the strength | of the regular party nominations, were confident of victory, While.the opposing republicans, spurred on by the cry of Lippitt brivery raisea against the Convention ticket, were equaliy sanguine, and the result shows now nearly balanced were the expectations, The independent repubitcans and pronibitory candidates for Governor and Lieu- tenant Governor, Kowland Hazard and Daniel E. Day, developed unexpected strength, The greater part of their vote neing cast early in the day, which being publisnea in the even- ing papers and telegraphed over the State, | influenced, no doubt considerably, many voters who desired to be on what looked like the popular side. At three o'clock Hazard and Day were | three ts one, but toward evening the Lippitt force rallied and tne contest is one of the closest in the political record of the State. Owing to the number of mixed tickets in the fleld, and the great amotnt of scratching the counting of the votes Is exceedingly dificult, but suMicient is kfown to show that there is no election of Governor by the people. The total vote will probably reach 22,000, the largest vote ever polled in & State eiec- tion, with several towns yet to be heard from. | Hazard (independent and pronibitory) has 8,119; Lippitt egalar republican), 7,740; Cutier (demecratic), 4,578; Lippitt carried Woonsocket, Bristol, Cranston, Johnston, Exeter, Forster, North Kingston, West Greenwich, Littie Compton, Richmond, White, Hazard carried Newport, Pawtucket, Westeriy, South Kingston, North Cumberiand and several other Diaces, Cutler carried his own town of Warren hy aiarge majority, together with East Greenwich, Scituate and Coventry.

IMPORTANCE OF THE ACTION OF THE GOVERNOR— CHARACTER OF THE COMMISSION—WHAT 18 LIKELY TO BE DONE. ALBANY, April 7, 1875. All significance attaches to the inquiries to be made as to canal frauds under the auspices of Governor Tilden. He is to be, in fact, the investi: gating body, the commissioners to be appointed by bim and confirmed by the Senate being the mere creatures of his will who are to organize to do his bidding. In consequence the personnel of this Board will be as curious as anything connected with bis remarkable war upon the Canal Ring. Among the names originally proposed was that of General Barlow, but Barlow coulda not be con- firmed by the Senate and he was dropped in con- sequence. The rest are comparatively unknown men, but practical and well informed, and, with the new man to ve substituted in Barlow’s place, they will make a very Strong. board, This much at least is certain, but at the moment at which I write there is still the uncertainty that attaches to all incomplete acts, and I do not care to discuss their merits as Commissioners while it is possible that some of them, at least, may never be commission- ers atall. Magjoine’s appointment has all along been considered likely, but whether Van Buren ana Orr will be nominated to the Senate is a mere matter of conjecture. It matters little whether they are or not, or who is named in their stead, since it has been known all along what kina of persons+ the Governor would appoint, choosing young and active business men as his own aids in the investigation rather than old politicians and oMceholders, who would have interests of their own to serve, if not views and purposes as positive as those of Gov- ernor Tilden himseil, Tue committee appointed by the Canal Board wili be as much at his command as the commission of his own choice, and the whole investigation will be the Governor’s imvestigation. This is the sig- nificant phase of the quesiion as it now stands, and whether the gentiemen already named or others of like kind and calibre are appointed, can make no difference and have very little inter- est. Like some uf Generat Grant’s appointments, Governor Tilden’s Commission may surprise the public by bring ng new names ‘o the iroor; but aside from this everything practicalin the inves: gation will centre in the Governor, the Commis- sion Irseif being 4 study only to the curious, GOVERNOR TILDEN AND THE COMMISSION.

It was in a like spirit that Mr. Alvord in the Assembiy and Mr. Lauing in the Senate made their apologetic speeches, and met a reprobation they certainiy never antici- pated, and whico, I think, they scarcely deserved i their figures and arguments are considered apart rom their intentions, Evea Generat Husted’s trick in the Assemoly, by Which the democratic majority was made to stultily tsell in the most absurd way, thouga it was thoroughly jostifiabie on par- usan gronnd*, Was practically another evidence of the latent sympathy for the Cana) Ring which existed almost everywhere in bigh quarters, and was only waiting for opportunities to make itself teit. but all this time Goveraor Tilden held a hand that could mot be beaten, General Sehenck's rules to tee contrary notwii nstanding, ja his four commissioners he held the jour aces of the dea! and was himself the kiog, m his own band, while the Senate and Assembly were each crying to “bind him with three ot a kind. No etiquette could require him to throw up such a hand im such an emergency, for it was nis only safety that he held it. Governor Tiden's victory and ail the results which are expected to come out of it, are due entirely to his insisting wpon and obtaining a commission of investigation, over which he wilt be the master spirit. By this means he not oniy has Canal Ring at his mercy, bat Is a dictator in his own party, and the recognized leader of reform in the State. TERRIBLE AND FATAL DISASTER, EXPLOSION OF GIANT POWDER IN SAN FRAN- CISCO—SEVERAL PERSONS CRUSHED AND BURNED ALIVE. SAN FRANCISCO, April 7, 1875. A disastrous fire, accompanied with loss of life, occurred this afternoon at the corner of Spear and Harrison streets here. it was caused by an explosion of giant powder in @ frame botlding adjacent to Hathaway's bonded warchouse. The walls of the warehouse Were crushed io, and number of frame buildings occupied as saloons and awell- Ings were blown to pieces, and in a few moments the whole Was one mass o! flame. A number of men, women and children were crushed vy the jailing rains, and some perished tn the flames. It ts impossible at present to er tain the number of lives jost of persons injured, ‘Tue fire is now under control, being confined to the 1mmediate vicinity ot tne explosion. The loss in tas bonded Warenouse is not less than $500,000, The acjacent property burned, consisting of hay, barn, Coaished, saloon and dwelling, Was worth pernaps $25,000 more, Searen is being made in the ruins, as promptly as the fire will admit, for the recovery of bodies.
