THE BONAPARTISTS Decisions of the Secret Con- clave at Arenenberg. THE EMPRESS ABDICATES THE REGENCY. The Prince Imperial Assumes the Party Leadership. ROUIER VICE EMPEROR IN PROSPECTIVE. The New Empire To Be Despotic when It Comes, THE PARTY PROGRAMME. {SPECIAL DESPATCH TO THE HERALD BY CABLE.) Pants, Sept. 25, 1875. The Bonapartist Council, which met in secret session at Arenenberg, Switzerland, at the chateau of the ex-Empress Eugénie, for the purpose of determining the future policy of the party in view of the present aspect of affairs in France and the growing strength of the Republic, has resulted in the following party programme:— THE PRINCE TO TAKE THE HELM, The first point decided is that the Prince Imperial shall undertake in person the ex- clusive direction of the imperialist policy. EUGENIE RESIGNS THE REGENCY. The Empress, who is unpopular with a large section of the party ‘on account of her pronounced ultramontanism, has abdicated the regency conferred’ upon her by the late Emperor, and leaves the young Prince to be guided by counsels more in accord with the prevailing sentiment of the party. ROUHER AGAIN VICE EMPEROR. It is settled that the Prince Imperial will be guided wholly by M. Rouher, thus re- storing to prominence in the partv the sec- tion which steadfastly opposed all conces- sions to the constitutional party and disap- proved of the liberalizing policy of M. Emile Ollivier previous to the war of 1870. THE EMPIRE TO BE DESPOTIC. Should the party succeed in restoring the Empire this choice of a leader leaves no doubt as toits character. It will be despotic in the full sense of the term, and the coun- cil at Arenenberg has decided on the consti- tution of 1852, in all its rigor, as the one of their choice. PARLIAMENTARY POLICY. The policy agreed upon as best calculated to advance the interests of the party in the present Assembly is a continuous demand for a plébiscite, which will, they think, flatter the masses by appearing to leave the final decision as to the form of gov- ernment in the people’s hands. CONSTITUTIONAL REVISION. They will also demand a revision of the constitution, in accordance with arti- ele 8 of the constitution of February 28, SPAIN. HE RECALL OF THE PAPAL NUNCIO—41IS sUC- CESSOR 6AID TO BE MORE LIBERAL, Lonvox. Bept. 25, 1875. Aspecial despatch to the Daily News from Madrid gays the Pope’s recall of the Papal Nuncio, Cardinal Bimeoni, and the implied disavowal of his acts, have occasioned considerable surprise. Mgr.

The Deputies of the Left have resolved to return to Paris at the boginning of Octover, to prepare for the work of the coming session of the Assembly and par- ticularly for the debate on the Electoral law, which ‘measure will be first discussed. Tho Opinion Nationale says:—‘'The decision of the Cabinet to advocate voting by arrondissements has pro- duced a strong sensation among the Deputies of the Left Centre, A rupture betweon M. Dutaure and the Left Contre is now certain, No offort will break the anton of the factions of the Left.” MEXICO. END OF THE REVOLUTION IN SONORA, San Francisco, Cal., Sept. 25, 1875. A despatch from San Dtego says the revolution in Sonora was ended August 23 by an engagement near Alta between the government troops and tho revolu- tionists, in which the latter wtre defeated, losing about Afty in killed, wounded and prisoners, About 600 were engaged on both sides, Martial lw has been proclaimed until affairs are quieted.

THE PORTE DECLINES TO MAKE CONCESSIONS ‘TILL THE REBELS LAY DOWN THEIR ARMS— THE INSURGENTS WANT GUARANTEES OF RE- FORM—THE CONSULAR MEDIATION AT A STANDSTILL. Lonpon, Sept. 25, 1875. The Pall Mall Gazette this evening has a special telegram from Berlin which contains the following:— The Sublime Porte has declined to make any conces- sions until the insurgents have tendered a complete submissiveness. The latter, however, refuse to sus- pend hostilities until the great Powers guarantee even- tual concessions, The proceedings of the Consular dele- gation are ata standstill, and the Consuls have asked their respective governments for further instructions. THE HERZEGOVINIAN REFUGEES ISSUE A MANI- _ FESTO—€HE MEDIATION OF THE POWERS RE- JECTED—COMPLETE INDEPENDENCE DE- MANDED. Lonpow, Sept. 25, 1875, A number of fugitive Herzegovinians in Austria have addressed a manifesto to the Mediating Consuls enu- merating their grievances, rejecting the mediation of the Powers and demanding completo liberation of Her- zogovina from Uttoman rule, ENTIRE FAILURE OF THE CONSULAR MEDIATION. CoNsTaNTINOPLE, Sept. 25, 1875. The English, Fronch and Russian consuls arrived from Trebigne on Wednesday, They have informed their respective Ambassadors that they completely failed in their mission. They were unable. even to see the principal insurgent leaders. Nothing has been heard during the tast few days from the consuls of Germany, Italy and Austria, and it is presumed they are unable to leave Trebigne, WRECK OF AN AMERICAN SHIP, THE BARK FOREST QUEEN FOUNDERED OFF THE RYO DE LA PLATA—fHE CAPTAIN KILLED BY THE ROLLING OF THE SPARS—THE STEW- ARD'S STORY—60ME OF THE CREW SUCCORED BY A NORWEGIAN BARK—THE REST NOT HEARD FROM.

REPORTS OF DAMAGE TO BUILDINGS AND DE- STRUCTION OF CROPS—LOSS OF LIFE IN STILL CREEK—THE COTTON PLANT BLIGHTED AND WITHERED. Hovstoy, Texas, Sept. 25, 1875. At Hempstead, fifty miles northeast of Houston, on the Central Railroad, the storm raged furiously, A witness says:—‘‘As we listened to the howling wind, which shook a brick building to the centre, we little imagined the damage which was being visited upon us. Hearing that the Catholic chapel had been blown down I started in that direction, When I arrived in the front of Mrs. Tuflie’s residence I saw the Baptist church sud- denly rise from its foundations and topple over and fall. Hurrying on as fast as the driving wind and the rain would permit, I found the spot where ‘once stood the temple of the Catholics, Like the Bap- tist house, it had been blown some feet from its founda- tion, and was a perfect wreck. I began to think this commotion of clemenig was gotten up by old ‘Nick’? to destroy churches, Mut on visiting half a dozen other meeting houses I fognd them intact, Felker’s new brick store gradaalty metted before the torrent of water until all the upper story was a ruin. Collins’ new brick building is considerably injured, the tin around the parapet being blown away, and pieces were carried several blocks. Planters’ Exchange had most of its front carriod away. Trees in every quarter of the town are prostrated; fences levelled to the ground; tin gutters torn from their fastenings, I saw a dignified man with aropein his hand which he was carrying home to save a favorite tyee, but before Teaching his house the roots of the tree gave away bo- fore the strength of old Boreas, and our friend had his ducking for his pains. A negro man hving near the Methodist church, while lying quietly in bed, had the roof of his shanty carried rods away, and took up his bed and sought drier quarters. Colonel A. M. Crawford had seven fine horses killed. but the damage done within the limits of the corporation {8 not worth no- ticing, compared to that done to the cotton crop. Up- land farmers especially suffer, Their cotton had ma- tured and opened and what remained unpicked was blown off; most of it so much damaged that it will not pay for expenses of gathering. We haye heard that the loss in Miller county, at one estimate, was between 1,000 and 2,000 bales, buy all losses sustained palo into insigniticance when we read of the destruction of property on tho coast, coupled with the loss of life and consequent wreck of human hopes and human happinoss. AN UNPRECEDENTED STORM, Bryan is ninety-nine miles from Houston, on the main line of the Texas Central. From various sources I gather the following news:—On Wednesday night, after a cloudy day, a gentle rain sot in and continued through Thursday and Friday, increasing, too, all the while, but never at one time becoming violent, except as it’ was made so by wind which began raising some time during Wednesday night, and increased in force until, during the night of ‘Thursday and by Friday morning it was blowing in a gale, and continued to do so all day with a steady and increasing violence, and both together, rain and wind, This made a storm of two days, aduration which wo have seldom seen equalled. The only favorable feature of the gate is that there was nothing of the hurricane in it, Though not raining very hard, yet from the length of time it continued animmanse quantity of water fell, swelling all the upland streams to a great height, DAMAGE TO RUILDINGA. In tho town of Bryan the damage to buildings and fences was considerable, Mike & Co.’s new brick building, which was near its completion, was blown down to its foundation, while several others that had recently been erected were injured. Among these was the large carriage shop of Mr. Williamson, which was carried several inches and was in danger of blowing down. A college building had its third story blown down, damaging it to the extent of $500, INJURY TO CROPS, We have heard of no especial damage in the country except to the crops. Corn was blown flat, while cotton suffered terribly. On the uplands it is reported that at least all that was open was blown out, while the other is greatly in danger. Nearly all the upland cotton was open, In the bottom the damage has been very great, not so much in being blown out as by breaking the stalk down, and planters calculate on a loss of at least one-fourth, 1088 OF LIPR. The only loss of life reported is the drowning of young Jimmy Robinson, in Still Creek, He had left Bryan carly on Friday morning for Brazos Bottom, in Burleson county, and was expected to return that even- ing. On réaching the stream those who had gone in quest of him realized their most fearful forebodings, for, a short distance below the ford, they discovered, almost entirely buried in sand, the lifeless body of Jim Kobinson. Here was a gcone the most affecting we ever witnessed, as father and brothers gathered with sorrow-stricken hearts around the dead. They carried the body to the resi- dence, in Bryan, He was buried by the Presbyterian minister, and it was the largest funeral ever seen in Brazos county, A PALL OF SNOW. Snow was reported in Marshall on the night of the 22d. It was certainly cold enough; such a cold season in September we have never witnessed in this section during a residence of nearly forty years. DESTRUCTION IN BELLEVILLE, At Belleville, twenty miles to the northwest of Houston, the destruction to crops is simply immense, One half of the fences are everywhere blown down. The destruction to ornamental and fruit trees has been very large. Alexander Glenn had thirty beautiful trees that ornamented his residence uprooted and laid on the ground; his fruit trees also suffered. In Court House square, or rather within the enclosed circle, eight beautiful shade trees were pros- trated. ho storm at this place was at its greatest height about two o’clock P, M. on Friday. The roads through the timbers were impassable for carriages, but soon opened for foot travel. Mr A. Glenn, who has resided in this section for thirty-six years, says he never before saw anything approaching the late storm for violence, It is almost a miracle no lives were lost. DAMAGE ON COLORADO RIVER. In Fay county, on Colorado River, seventy miles | west of Houston, the elements were terribly stirred. Shade trees wore destroyed and the fences are all down. Cotton open blown out and plant blighted and withered. No deaths are reported. A stiff northeaster and north wind has blown here since yesterday and considerable raim bas (alien. RELIEF FOR TEXAS. Mr. Augustin Daly has placed the Fifth Avenue Theatre at the disposal of the committee for the relief of the sufferers by the Texas inundations on Wednes- day, October 6. A very attractive programme is to be provided for the occasion. Colonel Ochiltree at present represents the comtmittee in New York. Ameoting was held at the Fifth Avenue Hotel yester- day afternoon, for the purpose of forming committees: to act with the theatrical managers who will give per- | formances in aid of the Texans who have suttered by the recent overflow.

TROUBLE AHEAD. Fant River, Mass., Sept. 25, 1875. There (3 a strong threatening undercurrent here to-night. ‘The operatives are determined not to sign the objectionable document of which I sent you a copy yes- terday, The spinners, weavers and carders are all alike on this question. They regard this movement of the manufacturers as a tacit acknowledgment that they will still further reduce the wages of the help within two weeks of the time that the meu go in, That these con- ditions mean simply to place the men beyond the pos- sibility of further resistance. At the Boraer City Mills about one-half of the hands have signed—at least the overseers say so—and that they will surely start on Monday, In other mills, however, where they employ from 800 to 1,000 hands, not moro than thirty or forty have signed, which is insufficient to keep even the smallest mill at work. Some of the overseers have ent around men to the cottages of their corpora- tions with the contracts, asking for signatures, so as to be able to determine whether to get steam up on Monday or not, ‘he experience of the canvassers has not been encouraging. After three days many have not exceeded twenty-five names. These were mostly female weavers who have been liter- ally starved out. “At the Merchant’s Corporation tene- ments this morning there was quite a row. The can- vasser was first told to take his agreements and put them in the furnace, and soon afterward he was stoned and hooted by a mob that eventually caused him to re- treat, This occurred in the yards on Davis and Plain streets. . THE PROGRAMME FOR MONDAY. ‘The genera programme determined on to-day is as follows :—They will all go to the mills on Monday. They will not go to work unless the owners withdraw the agreement, nor can the owners find enough hands to start, If apy mill should start it is probable there will be work for the glaziers, and, perhaps, fur the police, In the afternoon’ a grand mass meeting will be held in the Park, which will probably be attended by 10,000 or 15,000 operatives, The object will be to appeal to the manu- facturers to at once withdraw this paper and permit them to go in without any terms other than those which havo governed them before. A committee will proba- bly be delegated to meet the Manufacturers’ Board of ‘Trade for this purpose. A petition will also be got up and obnoxious terms be set aside. If they are not the storekeepers will certainly have to shut down, for they are all gradually drifting to ruin, It is also proposed to enlist Wendell Phillips and others in their behalf, by calling a meeting at Faneuil Hall on Tuesday or Wednesday next. The idea is that a full and complete discussion should ensue, and that, as it is inevitable that this fight for supremacy between capital and labor must come, it is better to have it scttled at once, Mean- time the operatives see everything from a distressing standpoint, and appear to dread the approach of the conteston Monday. Itis hoped that the manufactur- ers will quietly abandon their position, but their method of dealing with the help during the past two months does not generally encourage the beliel, THE CONDITION AS VIEWED BY THE MEN. Fau River, Mass, Sept. 24, 1875. As your correspondent predicted recently, the strike promises to extend into the dreary months of winter. The mills were to have been opened on the 27th inst. at the ten per cent reduction. The operatives had deter- mined to yield and go to work. Now, however, the ufacturers demand conditions which, if persisted in, will render the state of afairs here more deplorable than ever. The Manufacturers’ Board of Trade, a mas- ters’ union, composed entirely of mill owners and agents, have prepared documents to the following ef- fect, which, they intimate, every operative, male and female, must sign before they can goto work on Mon- day next:— THE MILL OWNERS CONDITIONS, First—That but one-eighth of the employés of any room shall give notice to leave at any one time, which notice shall be writen tea days in advance, and that ten days shall so elapse between the notice of every eighth from each department, (As there are eight in a room it would thus take eighty days to ompty it.) ‘Second—That but one notice from any mule or other room shall be sent at any one date. Third—That all the employés bind themselves to seperate from all organizations and asvociations that may attempt to interfere with the hours of work or amount of wages, Fourth—Any violations of these conditions to result in instant distaissal from the miils of Fall River. In consequence of theso demands by the manufac. turers. the whole force of operatives is greatly excited, The spinners yesterday held a meeting at Mayhew Hall, and in a feverish, determined manner discussed the | situation. “Will you accept the terms offered?” said the chair- man. “No, a0, no! Never, nevert”” responded from every part of the ball. “We'll die first!” ‘We'll beg our bread ‘afore doin’ of that!" yelled a man in the front row. “Poot the resilootion, mon, an’ we'll shoo it by ballot,” said another, in broad north country dialect. The chairman read:— RESOLUTIONS OF THE MEN. Resolved, That we are willing and ready to return to our work, But wo are not willing to sign an unequal, one-sided and unjust contract that bears upon its face the utter degradation and abject servility of the labor- ers, Resolved, That we present ourselves at the mills on Monday morning and offer to resume work, on condi- tions that we be requested to sign no coutract which involves the surrender of our inalienable rights as free men, The resotution was put, and silently the ballots de- “death an’ starvation afore we'd WILLIAM STAMSON’S STORY, “Noo,” said William Stamson to mo, “ne (I) 'ud loike to give ye God’s truth aboon this trooble, We be all creatures o’ circumstance.

From his general make-up it would be easy to detect his vocation. “A sober, industrious me- chanic,” said John Stnes, who pointed significantly with his thumb at Stamson, William ts a native of Preston, England, where he learned the business of a spinner. Eighteen years ago he came to America to work. He has a wife, two sons and a daughter, and lives in a corporation tenement at Globe village, just outside the town. One son and the daughter work at the mills, “We pay nine dollar’ a month for thae folve rooms,’ said the pleasant old spinner as we entered his quarters in the lower part of the red tenement. Here sat the wife in the kitchen, preparing some potatoes for suppor, ve brooght a gentleman to see oor place, me dear,” said William, as we passed to the parlor of sit- ting room, an apartment that bore a strong resem- biance to the little cosey quarters that may be seen in the Lancashire mill district. A piece of ingrain carpet covered the floor, a round table stood in the centre, covered with a few china ornaments, a Bible and a ipier maché writing caso that had seen long service. Fie walle were papered, not very comfortable to look at. Two or three little pictures hung againet the wall mostly old country scenes; the hair-covered chairs and the old hair sofa had seen such lengthy or rough service that it is questionable whether William could realize $5 for the lot, Still the apartment had a certain air of comfort, and was, even to the window blinds, strictly jean, HOW THR OPERATIVE LIVES. «Vo live plain enough, a8 ye can soe," said the old operative, as he pointed to a chair, requesting me to be eefted. “We are as plain in oor eatin’ as in oor livin’, A coople eggs and bread and butter for breekfast, meat ‘and potatoes and bread nn’ a glass o' ale for dinner, & piece o? cheose and bread and butter and tea for supper is all the luxuries we indoolge in when things is bright- est, Boot, mon, y’ud foind moighty httle sich luxuries ‘noo, Las’ noight ae went an’ bought a peck 0’ potatoes, two loayes 0” bread and some pions au’ fogk um 49 | prayoh, will be signed by the small tradestnen, asking that these | | three an’ the lard seventeen cents.

THR WEAVERS, “At Blackburn an’ Burnley an’ Preston, im Englan’, the weavers get thirty-six cents, in gold, a cut for the 64x04 class of goods, Weavers here, for the same class, got twenty-four cents acut, currency.

There ye'll find boot ‘one overseer to thirty-two pair o’mules, and perhaps a little boy to give oot oil an’ help tend, ' Here thae’ll ay one head overseer, two second ’ands an’ two third ’ands, for the same number, mind ye—four or five people too eet ‘Thae'li carry of four or five thousand dollar’ a mouth, an’ produce nothin’, See why the cost is high to produce goods!

I subse- quoatly repeated the conversation to Mr, John Guntoa, | Gaeentear Nigur Latcu on the door. who has worked here for years in advocating a better basis for labor, and he assured me statements made by William were singularly accurate and did not mis- represent one important fact, “Of course,” said Mr, Gunton, “you can’t expect a working man to deal with. the principles of political economy, but he'll oftener give you the truth, though inw rough form. [1 he had started from the beginning he should have corrected a misstatement which has gone over the country. When the manufacturers de- manded this reduction the men did mot want to strike. They said, ‘Don’t reduce us now; we'll go out for thirty days on a vacation, and in the meantime prices may go up, 80 that you will not have te do it, We would rather be idle ‘for thirty days than you should | have to reduce the prices.’ Just before the expiration of the vacation, the weavers, finding that there was no difference in the situation, made a proposition to meet the Master's Union half way—say at twenty-five or twenty-six conts a cut. The Masters were unmoved. Then the other two branches of the trade heid meetings aud agreed to go to work at the twenty-four cents, if they were allowed to take their old places; but the Masters said, ‘Oh, no; wo'll take just as many or leave out as many as we please.’ Finding winter approach- ing, it was almost unanimously agreed to go to work on Monday next Now, however, the manufacturers present the documents you heard of yesterday at the spinners’ meeting, which means that the men must have no organizations (though, as you see, the Masters havo their unions and regulate evorything according to their own rules), and must piace himself, body and soul, tn the hands of the owners, or starve. And the men will starve before they will sigu such ubiirary docu- ments, ’? MARINE DISASTER. ABANDONMENT OF THE SHIP WESTERN EMPIRE— WATERLOGGED IN A HUBRICANE—SEVEN MEN DBOWNED IN LANDING.
