TERMS GRANTED MANITOBA BY THE GOVERN- MENT—THE UPPER HOUSE MUST BE ABOL- ISHED. Orrawa, Oct. 28, 1875. _The government has considered the request of the Manitoba delegates for better terms, and has come to a decision on the subject. The expenditure of the local government is over $100,000 perannum. On examina- tion, the government is of opinion that this amount should be reduced to $90,000, by the abolition of the Upper Chamber, a reduction of printing and the cur- tailment of other unnecessary oxpenses, When this retrenchment has been made, and the government is satisfied that there has been a le reform,* the subsidy will be in- creased from its present amount to $90,000, which, it is calculated, will be ample to tect the properly reduced legislative expenses and leave a ood margin for education and public improvements, Financial assistance is entirely dependent on the reduc- tion of expenses, Tho debts, which, it is alleged, ought vather to be borne by the Dominion than the Province, will be examined by Hon, Mr. Burpee, the Master of Customs, and if, in his opinion, the Dominion govern- ment should accept any of them it will be so recom- mended, GUIBORD.

PETITIONS AGAINST THE MISSOURI PACIFIC AND THE ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC COMPANIES PRE- PARED—DEFAULTS OF INTEREST AND A FRAUD- ULENT MORTGAGE, Sr. Lovts, Oct. 28, 1875, The county of St. Louis, through its attorney, filed a petition to-day in the United States Circuit Court ask- ing for an adjudication in bankruptey against the Missouri Pacific Railroad Company. The petition alleges that the interest on the $700,000 loan, being $4,000 per month, due the county by the road, has not been paid for the months of June, July, August and September. Tho petition sets forth that the company, then being bankrupt and insolvent, did, with the intent to give preference to ceftain creditors, execute a mort on its property, rights and fran: chises, dated July 10, 1875, to Henry F, Vail and James D. Fish, to secure payment of certain bonds, four in number, each for 000, pay ble May 1, 1875, atthe office of the Atlantic and Pa. cific eompany in New York.

WILLARD JOHNSON’S CLAIM. SUE JOURNALS OF JHE STATE CAPITAL WHACK- ING AWAY AT THE CONTROVERSY. Aunany, N. Y., Oct, 28, 1875, The Evening Journal of to-day contains the follow. ing:— The statement of Governor Tilden’s approval of the award of $55,000 on Willard Johnson's contract and of his promise to let it become a law haying been denied, and Delos De Wolf having written a letter reaffisinin the statement, all its essential points are now admitt fn tho article, authorized by the Governor, in the Argus. There are some further points in the article which cail for a correct presentation of the facts, Itis stated therein that Auditor Thayer urged the bill, It was the duty of the Auditor to make up this bill, as all others relating tothe Canal Department, He held frequent interviews with the Governor on canal matters, aud furnished the Governor with a full list of the names and the amounts of the awards, so tlt he could act intelligently, The Governor had all the items officially before him. It is stated in the Governor’s representa- tion that the Auditor told Mr. Van Buren that “if the bill did not become a law we should havo no canals,”’ To show that this not be true it is only necessary to say that the bill nothing whatever to do with the present or required work on the canals and provided only for the payment of work already done. It is further stat in the article that the Auditor said be would not pay any bap rego claim under th bill, Very likels id say #0, that sworn duty, and he has not paid the claim of Willard Johnson under the bill. ‘lard Johnson raised the money on his certificates, but not from the Canal De- partmont, He raised it upon the security furnished by the statement of Mr. De Wolf as to the assurances of Govornor Tilden. Tho Auditor had no conversation with Governor Tilden as to the Willard Johnson award. A DARK TRAGEDY. THE BODY OF A BEAUTIFUL YOUNG LADY FOUND IN THE MISSOURI RIVER AT LEAVENWORTH— WAS IT MURDER OB SUICIDE?—A TERRIBLE CRIME SUSPECTED—ARRESTS TO BE MADE. Lxavexwontu, Kan., Oot, 28, 1875, A most foul and dastardly murder was committed in this city one week ago, the particulars of which have just been learned. The body of a strange woman, richly dressed and beautiful in death, was found float- ing in the river below the city, wedged in between the carcases of drowned cattle, Cards, letters and a railroad pass found in her pocket give her name as M. Maria Blackwell, of Chicago, Ul A lady answering to her description was seen in the city one week ago, but those whom she was with re- ported that she had gone to Denver, When here she had plenty of money, but only $1 75 were found on her person. , No arrests as yet have been made, but detectives aro shadowing strongly suspected parties, It appears that she had been enticed into a house of prostitution kept by anoted courtesan, robbed, murdered and her dead body cast into the river.. Arrests are hourly expected. ‘The Coroner has her trunk and property, ANOTHER ACCOUNT—-THE CASE DECLARED A SUICIDE. Leavenwortu, Oct. 28, 1875, The body of a beautiful woman, aged about twenty-five years, was found in the river yesterday, The corpse was richly dressed, wearing o purple silk dress and jet breast. pin and carrings.. In the pocket of tho dress was found $175; also a card case, containing cards bearing the name of ‘‘M. M. Blackwell,’?a check for baggage to Leavenworth and a pass from Chicago to Kansas City. The police are doing their utmost to forret out the affair, DEADLY MELEE IN PENNSYLYANIA, A SALOON KEEPER FATALLY STABS HIS NEPHEW AND THEN BECOMES CRAZY. ARcuIBALD, Oct. 28, 1875. On the night of the 14th inst., two brothers, Anthony and Peter Scanlon, entered the saloon of Michael Neelan, in this place, and began a quarrel with another person in the place.’ Neclan isan uncle of the Scan- lons. He threatened to have them arrested if they did not behave, when they began abusing him. He ejected them from the saloon, when they knocked him down and commenced beating him. Another young man, ‘Tuhill, also a nephow of Neelan’s, appeared on the scene, and attacked his cousins, the Scanlons, with a large knife. Neelan also drew a dirk. THR viGHT at this juncture was joined by Michael Scanlon, a fourth nephew of Neelan, and aman named Dougherty, hus- band of Neelan’s sister-in-law, and James Gillespie, a brother-in-law of Peter and Andrew Scanlon. Each contestant had adeadly weapon of some kind, except Michael Scanlon, who endeavored to quell the disturb- ance. In the mé/ée both Anthony and Peter Scanlon received fearful stabs, the former being so badly cut that he had to be carried away. Dr. Lest was called and pronounced his wounds fatal. The wounded man charged his uncle with having inflicted the stabs, Neelan was accordingly arrested and taken to Wilkes- barre Jail. Scanlon, notwithstanding his serious in- juries, lingered until Tuedday ight, when he died. The knife had penetrated the right lung. Scanlon was twenty-six years old and leaves a wife and child. His brother, Peter, is lying in a critical condition from the injuries he received. Noelan was arrested he protested his innocence, and was placed in jail laboring under great mental ex- cireenen The Monday following the affray he ex- bi SIGNS OF INSANITY, He grew worse, and on Sunday last became so violent that it was found necessary to bind him in his cell. He raves continually about the stabbing, and takes no food and sleeps but little. A physician who was called to attend him decided on Monday that it would be neces- sary to take him to an asylum, and preparations aro now making to remgve him to Danville. Mrs. Scanlon, his sister, and mother of the murdered man, remarke with vehemonce, when she heard to-day of the dispo- sition they were to make of Neelan:— “Let them take bim to the asylum and cure him, so they can bring him back and hang him, the murderer of my,son.”” The death of Scanlon has created the greatest excite- ment among the villagers, who are principally miners and their families. Both parties have strong adherents, and much bitter discussion is indulged in at the saloons and in the streets. It will be strange if the tragedy is not followed by another before tho excitement dies away. REMARKABLE ESCAPE FROM JAIL. BARS CUT AND WINDOWS FORCED BY A PORTLY PRISONER. Boston, Mass., Oct. 28, 1875, ‘A daring escape from the State Prison was mado be- tween one and two o’clock this morning by Charles Gleason, one of the Grafton Bank robbers, who was undergoing a sentence of fourteen years’ imprisonment, He sawed off two bars of his cell door, and with the aid of friends outside forced open the bars of a large win- dow adjoining with a jackscrew, and, although weigh- ing over two hundred pounds, he forced himself through the opening of nine inches, scaled the wall and disappeared belore his absence was noted. The details of Gleason’s escape show that it was part of a plan to liberate soveral other notorious New York convicts; and would have been more success- ful had not the night watchman been discharged the previous day for suspected complicity with the con- victs. A reward has been offered for Gleason’s arrest. The Jackscrow and table used in forcing open the window ‘were found outside, having been left by the friends of Gleason. THE BRASS MANUFACTURERS. HOW THE PROTECTIVE TARIFF ON COPPER IN- JURES THEIR TRADE AND FAVORS FOR- EIGNERS. New Havex, Conn, Uct, 28, 1875, The brass manufactarers of the United States met at the New Haven House, in this city, yesterday, in response to a call issued in New York under the date of October 25, and signed by J, H. Bartholomow, of the Ansonia Brass and Copper Company; Philo Brown, of Waterbury, and J, S. Moffat. The object of tho meeting was stated to be “to consider the expediency of raising the price of sheet brass.” An increase was explained to be necessary, on the ground that competi- tion has run the profits down to almost nothing. ‘THR BRASS TRADE with American manufacturers is confined almost ex- clusively to the United States. It is a fact not generally understood that American manufacturers labor under a disadvantage in competing with foreign manufacturers, ‘The duty on foreign pig or ingot copper is five cents in gold per pound, which protects the copper miners of the United States and enables them to get five cents per pound more than foreign copper could be sold for here if there was no duty. The cost of foreign ingot copper laid down in New York would be, for the last year or two, nineteen cents; add the duty, five cents, Cost to United States manufacturer, twenty-four cents, The American copper mine owners keep the price of their copper at an average of twenty-three and one-half cents, which keeps out foreign copper; but as the American miners produce a very much larger guantity than is consumed in this country, they are obliged to ship largely to Europe, where t sellit at nineteen conts, loss freight, which Pays, a handsome profit, Thus English, German and French manufacturers of brass hardware get AMERICAN COPPRR for five cents per pound less (in United States currency) than manufacturers inthis country can buy it for. Under this condition of affairs the latter cannot be ex- pected to compete in the markets of the world with the manufacturers of England, Germany and France, who are enabled by our protective tariffs to get their raw material for five cents per pound less than Ameri- can manufacturers can buy it, Whenever there is panic in thiscountry, or any financial trouble of moment, the brass manufacturers are the first to feol y and generally they are compelled to hie short. Ali these and other facts were discussed at the mect- ing, but as it was agreed to keep the proceedings secret, they cannot, of course, be obtained in full. The gentlemen in attendance were mostly from the Nauga- tuck Valley. It is rumored that the meeting agreed upon an advance in prices, THE COLORADO ELECTION. Dunver, Oct, 28, 1975, Additional returns from the late election show heavy gains by the republicans, who will have at least two- thirds of the Constitutional Convent SOOY, THE DEFAULTER. f TreToN, N.

This will carry it over Until next January, INDICTED FOR MURDER. Conconn, N. H., Oct, 28, 1875, The Grand Jury which has been in session to-day has found an indictment against Joseph La Page for the murder of Josio Langmaid, at Pembroke, on Mon- day, October 4. The Grand Jury is roported to have been unanimous. The trial will probably take place at an adjourned term in January. ta thenioeeieien Sie THE BURNED CITY. | The Mines Inspected and Found Almost Uninjured. . HELP FOR THE HOMELESS. Partial Lifting of the Gloom of the Disaster. Saw Francisco, Oct 28, 1875, The latest report from Virginia City, says the miners have been through all the mines from Gould & Curry’s to the Ophir, and have not found the slightest damage in any of them by fire, excepting in the Ophir, which is damaged by fire to the extent of thirty feet only. ‘There is no damage to either the shaft or the drifts of the Consolidated Virginia, A permanent relief com- mittee was organized here, this forenoon, with Senator Jones, ag Chairman, An executive committeo was set to work and Senators Jones and Sharon headed the list with $1,000 each, and the mining companies and stock brokers aro contributing freely and largely. ‘There is a general rush to the rescue. The ‘Bonanza’ kings have ordered the restoration of the great hoist- ing works, but it will taxe months to put them in working order, The heavy gloom that hung over this city is passing away. CONTRIBUTIONS POR THR SUPFERERS. The Pacific Stock Exchange has started a subscription for the Virginia City sufferers, It expects to raise $4,000 or $5,000, A meoting was held to-night at the Palaco fleet Among those present were Senators Sharon and jones, Mayor Otis, E. J. Baldwin, James R. Keeno, J. ©. Flood, W. 7. Coleman, W. F. Babcock, and other prominent citizens, A committee was appointed which will meet to-morrow morning to concert measures of relief. It is now stated that the insuranco on the Virginia City property has been greatly underestimated, and that the total losses of the companiey cannot fall much short of two millions. It is feared that one or two local companies may go under. A special despatch to a journal here this evening, from Virginia City, says the best business men estimate the loss at $7,500,000, One-third of the insurance is in foreign companies, and tho rest in local. A large num- ber of women and children have been sent to Gold Hill, Reno and California, To-day there was a light wind, and showery weather was threatened. Hundreds of people are in the ruins searching tor articles of value, Safes aro being pulled out of the ruins, The vaults of the Bank of California are all right—only a few papers were lost. PROMPT HELP. Carson City sent acar load of provisions for 2,500 persons and they are being dealt out at the First ward school house. Reno, Gold Hill and other towns are sending food and clothing. Thero are fully 3,000 peo- ple without fooa, beds, roofs or money. Of these fully 500 are without necessary clothes, Should harsh weather soon set in much suffering must ensue, The injured mines cannot, it is said, got new buildings and machinery up under sixty days, Rebuilding will go on all over the city, and this will give labor to hundreds in clearing the ruins, &c, Tho people are in good spirits, and while terribly afflicted are brave. Hundreds are too proud to say they need help, and ladies go out and find women and children re- quiring food but ashamed to beg it. This feoling is ro- laxing, however, under the kind offices of the relief committee, which is already partly organized. Some shanties are being put up, and workmen are busy shut- ting off broken water and. gas pipes and getting the worst débris out of the streets. Some of the sireots are utterly impassable, being choked with the ruins, THE FRROCITY OF THE FIRE is seen in the twisted and warped iron work and heavy walls drawn out of shape. Dangerous wails are being blown up every few minutes and others are being pushed over. The streets and open lots present a scene of indescribable confusion, lumbered with broken furniture, damaged goods and broken machinery. The machinery of the hoisting works burned is believed to be badly damaged, but not utterly ruined. The water in the Consolidated Virginia Mine is being pumped off through the Gould and Curry and other mines, but the pumping facilities thus far aro inadequate. Last night the shaft of the Andes Mine was on fire and sent up a column of flame 150 feet high. It is believed it will burn out the shaft and go no further, communication being pretty well cut off below. This mine is in the southern region of tho fire and above it, and took fire from flying cinders. Its buildings were not burned. All the men got out with- out injury. Some of the burning timbers of the Ophir shaft fell down it and sent gases as of burning wood up the Gould and Curry shaft, The water was lifted up and then dropped back, forcing the gases back. Itis believed there is no fire in the Ophir mine at all, Water, however, is kept on the shaft. Another despatch from Virginia City this evening says the Gould and Curry mine is fall of gas from the injured mines, and the men cannot go down. Work has been stopped in the mine. Mr. Mackay, of the firm of Flood & O’Brien, says no ore will be hoisted from the damaged mines before next spring; that this throws 2,500 miners out of employment; that many thousand people will leave here, and all that is now needed is money to transport them. THE MINES REPORTED NEARLY FREE FROM DAMAGE—STOCES RECOVERING, San Francisco, Oct, 28, 1875. Private despatches convey the gratifying information that the mines are all right. Men have been through from the Gould and Curry mine to the Ophir. There is no fire in the works and no damage has been done, Tho water is decreasing. The damage to the Ophir shaft 1s limited toa few fect at the top. The Consoli- dated Virginia evidently feels tho effect of the news, having just.gone up to 245 and 250 in the Board against 232 in the open session. AID FOR THE VIRGINIA CITY SUFFERERS, Messrs.

Tho Board of Underwriters of this District asked the Board ot Fire Commissioners to inquire into the truth of the report, which they did. Tho Commissioners of the District of Columbia not being satisfled with Mr. William’s explanation, informed him that he must either make an absolute denial of the report or resign before the Sth of November. He did not choose to wait until that time, but yesterday tendered the resig- nation of his office, which has been accepted. A POSTMASTER REMOVED. The Postmaster General to-day removed from office Jefferson J. Hibbetts, Postmaster at Chetopah, Kan., for certifying to the sufficiencyof the sureties on the bond of the accepted bidder on the Fort Concho and El Paso mail route, last October, when he knew them to be worthless. He would be criminally prosecuted were not the department convinced that he had no in- tention of wronging the government, J. W. Parkerand HL. Tisdale, ex-contractors in tho mail service, were tho parties who induced the straw bidder for the routo above mentioned to bid upon the same and who evi- dently induced the bidder and the Postmaster at Cheto- pah to act improperly in regard thereto, Tisdale per forms the mail messenger service at several points in Kansas, and Parker at a few others. The arrangements with them for such service will be immediately cancelled and others employed to perform it, Suits will bo promptly commenced against the failing contractor on the Texas route and his sureties. i FAST WESTERN MAIL.

GUIBORD'S BURIAL. gan 47H OF NOVEMDER NAMED Yon ‘THE BUBIAL—AN INTERVIEW WITH THE MAYOR OF MONTREAL BY THE COUNSEL OF THE GUIBORD PARTY—THE MAYOR NON-CoM- MITTAL, Montreat, Oct. 28, 1875, The excitement in the Guibord matter has been in- creasing every day, and only tho heat of the election in Montreal West prevents it from breaking out from its smothered intensity and again agitating the public mind. Every one 1s afraid of the skeleton, The news- papers drop the matter pretty much, political parties being afraia of it. The government party have had the burial postponed until ‘after the election, in order to catch the Catholic vote, and other organs aro afraid of mentioning the matter in any shape for fear of infuriating the Protestant vote. The officials, however, are considerably exercised at the city press for the strictures of tho latter upon their acts in connection with the Guibord matter; hence the New York HsRaup representative and a@ Gasette reporter wore the only members of the press present at the following interview, which was had this afternoon, at four o'clock, in the Mayor’s office, City Hall, between Mayor Hilston, City Attorney Roy, Aldorman Grenier, chairman of the Police Com- mittee; Chief of Police Penton, on ono side, and Mr, Dautre, counsel for the Institut Canadien, and Colonel Fletcher, assistant adjutant genera; of militia, on tho other, The letters to the Mayor and to Colonel Fletchor were to the effect that the interview was for the purpose of arranging measures to preserve the public peace on the day of the Guibord funeral, which is to take place carly next week instead of upon the Sth, as wag said a fow days ago. THE INTERVIEW. Mr. Dautre commenced by stating his reasons for having invited Mayor Hilston to be present, Ho had been in communication with the Governor General on the subject, and had unofficially notified His Excellency of tho state of this case, The law contained in chapter 46, of 36 Victoria, gave instructions for the militia of the province to protect the peace in certain con- tingoncies, and it was in view of the fact that the contingency would ariso early next woek that he made application to the Mayor of Montreal for the necessary signature to the writ calling upon the forces under the command of Colonel Fletcher to be in readi- ness early next week to protect the Guibord funeral procession on its route, There was no doubt in his mind that blood would be shed if proper measures were not taken by the authorities, At the first attempt at burial, when the subject was less a matter of not oricty than it is at present, the interment of the remains was renderod an impossibility, What would be the result now of an attempt to bury the body? When the first attempt was made he (Mr. Dautre) had gone to three or four of the 200 magistrates in the district of Montreal and mado affidavit before them, but they laughed at his fears, and the result was the attempt and fiasco, If they had made the attempt to bury Guibord and failed, and had they persisted, a slaughter would have taken jo—such a sad affair as never before been witnessed in Montreal. But there was no necessity for recapitulating these matters; they were known all over the world. Only on Sunday last, when a military funeral had proceeded to the cemetery, the thousands of persons that gathered showed how jealously the mob watched every attempt to bury the reinains of Guibord. In view of these facts he camo there to state, under oath, before the Mayor and Colonel Fletcher, A. A. G. of the district of Montreal, that he feare a disturbance of the peace by a riot carly in November and asked that the Mayor sign a document necessary for the calling out of the whole volunteer militia force of the district, Mayor Hingston reported that he would undertake to furnish fall protection to the funeral inside the city limits, but the riot was likely to take place outside and he did not see bis way clear in signing the order for the militia This was a matter that bec ekg the signa- ture of three magistrates and with which the Mayor had little to do, and though himself a magistrate as well as Mayor of Montreal he did not think it fair for Mr. Dautre to single him out of the two hundred and odd magistrates of the city. He therefore would not sign the order, ‘Solone! Fletcher said the only drawback that held him from calling out the troops was the clause in the law requiring the magistrate to be a resident of the city in which the riot was anticipated. The troops, nowever, had authority to quell disturbance anywhere in, the dis- trict, if the notice was served according tola®. This course was clear onough. Mayor Hivestor—My only reason for refusing to sign tho document is that the Protestant Cemotery, where the procession starts from to the one at which the body i to be buried, are both in the municipality of Colonel Desniges, and out of my jurisdiction, Mr, Dactre—Tho procession will pass through the city from one cemetery to the other. Mayor Hinastor—I think that would be comrting trouble, Why not go the samo road as before? Mr. Davrre—Because the city is able to protect us Inside the limits, Its authorities are willing, and also vecanse its citizens, or very few of them, have taken part in the riot, the offenders being from the back country mostly, Mayor Hixastox—That should be tho-best reagon for keeping outside of the limita of the city, Mr. Dauire, ‘ou Will look at it from your side, we also look at it m our side. We think you can protect us in the city if you are Relig Aree that is the reason wo chose the route through the city. We are certain tho muni- be ast} cannot protect us m the outside of the city, which is one reason for calling out the militia, which we are gure to do, whether the order is signed by you or nok, We do this profiting by past experience, and if the officials woul ail join tn preparing to protect the peace of the city would be well, but if this hair splitting waa to go on about roads that were outside of our municipality there would be @ scone of bloodshed from which would you recoil. I have been charged with not acting wirely before in not making such preparations as would se- cure the burial of Guibord’s rewains, I will take care the oharge is not ro peated in this instance, Will ba oe sign the requisition for troops? is ‘ayor Hinastox—I will not, because bamed no precise date, 7 { Poutke—I will do that; the blank is there to be lge in at any moment, and I gay the 4th of November. Mayor Hinasrox—I will here say that I will take all a Steps to protect the pu blic peace on that day, There is w0-duty of my office from which I shall shrink, but let mo say that on the day of the riot you acted wisely in not pusiting matters. I was on the ground With a force of police, notwithstanding that it was out of my jurisdiction; it was not a time to stop at such quibbles, when men were being murdered, and I can say that it was nota mob of a moment, but a cold- blooded body of some thousand strong that were gathered in groups, at equal distances from each other, and that could haye gobbled up our police force as easily as possible. Mr. Dourre—lI ask you, the requisition ? Mayor Hixostos—I am now acting as Mayor, and as such have given my answer. I can’t answer ‘in a minuto in the dual position of Mayor and Magistrate, Mr. Dourre—Then I understand you to refuse in both capacities. Mayor Hixastox—I don’t refuse in either case, but will be governed by circumstancea, As Mayor I be- gan this intorview; as Mayor I end it The interview was then over at six o’clock. Colonel Fletcher, who will have command of the militia, is a veteran of nearly thirty years’ service, has served in the British regulars, in the Crimean and sther campaigns, and may be dependek upon to enforce the law in all cases, should the emer- gency appear, as it most certainly will. AMUSEMENTS. fis Terenas oy FIFTH AVENUE THEATRE. “Tho Apostate,” one of the old time five act plays, "was produced last night before @ crowded house. Tho Play, though a favorite ono with Mr. Booth, is yet a dreary, dismal story, in which love, villany, plots and counterplots mark its whole course, The doings of the Spanish Inquisition also add to its gloominess, Mr. Booth’s Pescara is ono of his best parts. In the first act ho was somewhat tame, but as the play progressed and the actor warmed into tho business of the play he delineated tho crafty Spaniard in his varied moods of revenge and hate. In the second act, when about to leave the stage after describing his dream to Florinda, he tells her with terrible meaning, ‘Stark, thore’s oft a prophecy in dreams.” Mr, Booth Woll deserved tho applause which the house awarded him, The second and fourth aets of tho play aro his best. His scene with Florinda, near the closo of the fourth act, is most dramatic.’ Hemoya, the apostate Moor, was’ played by Mr. Harkins, and’ it cannot bo you have | a8 magistrate, will you sign considered success. Mr. Fisher, as Malec, disap. pointed expectations, although’ in the third act ho improved ’on his previous _ scones, This actor has a habit of speaking somo of his sen- tenves in so low a tone of voice at times that it is im- os to hear him speak any distance from the stage. iss wabreys Lewis was the Florinda. She evidently was doing her best, and although sho read the part fairly did not fully delineate the character tho author intended. The piece was finely put on the stage Af- ter the second and fourth acts Mr. Booth was sum- moned before the curtain in response to the applause which rewarded his efforts in a patt so trying, under his Present disabilities, as Pescara, GILMORE’S GARDEN, The benefit concert of Mr. P, S. Gilmore last evening was on a colossal scale, and attractive enough to fill even the garden, about 10,000 peoplo being present. Boxes and seats were all sold and there was little stand- ing room left that was at all agreeable. Tho music platform was enlarged to accommodate a chorus in ad- dition to the orchestra, Tho concert began with Litoli"s sensational overture, “Robespierre,” in which the ‘Marseillaise”’ is framed in very strong measures—tho music of the barricades probably. It suited admirably the band that officiated on this occasion, the discipline and spirit of this admirable instrumental organization being all that might bo desired for the rendering of such a work. The first novelty was a national anthem, “Our Victorious Ban- ner,> composed by Sir Julius Benedict for the last Boston jubilee, but produced on this occasion for the first time. It has a very attractive theme, me- Jodious and taking, and scored in the well known effect- ivo stylo of the celebrated English compose The chorus was rather overweighted by the mass of instru- ments, the singers not being placed in a manner cal- culated to serve acoustic purposes. Mr, Gustav Satter, who was a very.popular pianist here many years ago, played an arrangemont of his own of the “Tannhiluser’? overture and for an encore his sparkling waltz ‘The Belles of New York.” The piano, even with the most ac- complished performer, is placed’ at a serious disadvant- age in such an immense building, and, when to this is ded the bustle and noise of 10,000 people, it would be manifestly unfair to criticise the pianist too closely. Yet it may be doubted if any effective arrangement can be made of Wagner’s music for the piano. The orchestral coloring absent there is little left for a singlo instru ment Dut noise. The waltz is a dainty little work and has long since become the pet of the salon The “Rhapsodie Hongroise,” No. 2 by Liszt, admira- bly scored for military band i Reinhard Schmela, was given with rare effect It was one of the most brilliant features of the concert. Miss Emma Thursby, who*possesses a high soprano voice of re- markable purity of tone and excellent cultivation, sang Proch’s variations, and one of Abt’s songs for an encore. The 150th Psalm, by Randegger, and a fantasie by Sir Robert Stewart, of Dublin, entitied “Ireland’s Grooting to America,” both works being written for the Boston Jubilee, und, like Benedict's anthem, being reserved for the present occasion, formed inl featurog in the sec- ond part of the programme. There were also a quartet for cornets, in which Levy, Gilmore, Arbuckle and Bent appeared; the ‘Anvil Chorus;” a very touching baritone song, ‘‘Death’s at the Door,” the composition of Mr. Gilmore, which was rendered by Mr. Sobst; solos by gat tee Arbuckle, aud a fine selection from Meyerbeer, During the intermission Mr. Gilmoro was presented by the band with a magnificent medallion, set in diamonds, Mr. Brooks making the presentation speech. One hundred and fitty concerts have been given in this garden since it was opened, last May, DRAMATIC AND MUSICAL NOTES. Mr. J. L. Toole will make his first appearance in London this season at the Gatety Theatre November 8. This evening Mlle. Pappenheim will appear as Recha, in “The Jewess,” replacing Mile, Wagner, who assumed the character on Monday night To-morrow evening @ promenade concert will be given at Gilmore’s Garden, in aid of the Centennial Exposition, presenting a programme of decided attrac. tions. There will be no performance at the Lyceum Theatre to-night. The public will regret to learn that an acci- dent occurred to M, Veniat, one of the leading actors of the French comedy, on Wednesday evening, which compelled the management to close the theatre last night and to postpone the representation of ‘Frou- Frou” until Saturday evening. A mantelpiece fell on the stage, injuring the feet of the artist, who has suffered very much from tho effect, Mlle. Clarence wiil appoar on Saturday for the first time in America, We prophecy that Von Blow will be attended upon his tour in this country by a ghastly procession of mu- sical critics, maddened by his playing. The Boston men discovered that he expressed the meaning of Chopin by his gestures quite as clearly as by his per- formances, and now he has wrecked the intellect of the critic of the Providence Press, who thus describes the extraordinary behavior of the piano:—‘*He touched the piano and it began to sing; sang as if it repented of a shallow and soulless life; sung as if ¢ saw now paths of melody and heights to be scaled; sagas if it would send out tendrils into all the realms of sound and seize on ravishing chords it had not known before, Wonderful it was to hear this familiar instrument thus taking on @ new and lofty ambition.’” EVENING WEATHER REPORT.

HOW KAM JEUALY BEN HAMOO WAS TAUGHT TO RESPECT THE AMERICAN FLAG—A SHARP LESSON, An American gentleman resident in Tangier writes ® letter to a friend in Trenton, N. J., from which the fol- lowing extract is taken :— Public attention in Tangier, Morocco, has lately been excited by a decided action on the part of the Unived States Consul General, which dimost recalls Commo- dore Rodgers’ lively times with the Basha of Tunis in 1805. Tangier has lately been blessed with a new Basha, Kaid Jilaly ben Hamoo, am old man who has been used. to Moorish intrigue and oppression all his life, and has | never before bee brought into contact with Christians, Some goods for the Sultan lately arrived at Tangiery and Kaid Jilaty proceeded to “attach”? all the camels tm that port to convey the packages to Fez, Among others, he appropriated some camets belonging to citl- zons of different Christian nations, The Italian’ Con- gal was the first who applied for the restoration of two camels belonging to an Italian subject, and the request was granted. This was followed by applications of # similar character from the British and American repre- sentatives, The Basha refused these epptications, and on being reminded that he had already granted the same request to the Italiam Cunsul, he exclaimed, “Why, you Consuls are like so many monkeys! what ever one does all the rest must do!’’ Colonel F. A. Mathews, our Consul General, immedi- ately called on Mr. White, the British Consul; to ask if he would join in resenting tho language uaed by the Basha. Mr. White declined, saying that he would let tho insult pass unnoticed; so Colonel Mathews decided to exact satisfaction singly. A PROMPT APOLOGY DEMANDED, In pursuance of this resolution he sent word to Sid Mohamed Bargash, tho Sultan’s Minister for Foreign Affairs, informing him that if the Basha did not come’ personally to the United States Consulate by twelve o’clock that day and make a full apology he’ (Colonel Mathews) should haul down his flagotat® and cross to Gibraltar, there to await the orders of his government. In reply tho Minister begged for an extension of the time to three P. M., as the day was Friday—the Mussulman Sabbath—and the Basha was due at the mosque at twelve. Colonel Mathews granteé this extension, and at three o’clock tho Basha snd the Minister tor Foreign Affairs arrived im state, with a nu- merous retinue, Colonel Mathews received them seated, and, when tho Basha had fully apologized for the expressions of which he had been guilty, rose and shook hands with his contrite visitors. Tho rejoicings and congratulations in Tangier were loud, as the Basha, in order, we suppose, to avoid any further complications, immediately afterward released all the camels he had attached.
