THE RUSSIAN Policy. Russia considers it imperative, in view of the agi. tated state of Turkey, to demand the adoption of a decisive and energetic course in order to obtain the re- quired guarantees, The Salonica outrage and tho re- ports of the excited state of fecling in Constantinople will be consicered, and probably guarantecs will also be demanded for the security of the Porte’s Christian sub- fects and foreigners in its dominions against similar outbreaks of Mobammedan fanaticism. ‘THE CZAR'S EXCLAMATION, ‘The Czar, when he received Count Andrassy yester- day, wore only three orders, viz.:—The Russian St, George, the Austrian Maria Theresa and the Prussian pour le merite.

F.C. Vyner must be accepted as the champion racehorse of that country, for his achievements put into the shade the more brilliant events in its previous turf history. This fact was established by Thunder winning the City and Suburban contest at Newmarket 25th ult, when with 130 Ibs. up he beat a grand field of twenty-two others with the utmost ease, passing the winping post three lengths ahead of Mr. Woolcott’s Little Harry, who car- riedin the journey of one mile and a quarter but 77 lbs. The performance eclipsed all the previous great victories with big handicaps and gave the turf critics a chance to praise this great six-year-old. More partic- ularly was this the case, as only a week before the City and Subarban, Thunder bruised his foot in the stablo and veterinary aid had to becalledin; but, fortunately, fects of the mishap gradually disappeared and he was enabled to meet that engagement in splendid trim. Now, witht 5 lbs, more on bis back than in bis great victory at Nowmarket—or 185 Ibs, the top weight—ho has captured another important event, which must still add to his freat reputation asa race horse of unusual excellence. It is the second time that the Great Cheshire Stakes has fallen to him, as lost year he was the winner of this handicap, carrying 127 Ibs Thunder is by Thunderbolt, out of Violante, a mare by Melbourne, out of Stich, and he was bred by Mr. Caledon Alexander in 1870, tho dam dying next year while foaling. As a two-year-old he made his aébut at the Newmarket July meeting, where he was ‘unsuccesstul, as he was also in two races at the second Ocsober gathering, his opponents on each occasion be- ing far trom first class horses. On commencing his three-year-old career Thunder began to show his true form, as he won six good races clean off the reel, com- meneing with a swoopstakes at the Newmarket first spring and a handicap atthe second spring mecting, where, with 77 Ibs, he beat Tangible (91 Ibs.) by o head: He then gavo 2 Ibs. anda year to Delay in the July Handicap aod won by three-quarters of a length, ten others being in the rear; whi'e a fortnight later he carried off the Skreens Handicap and the Summer Han- dap at Chelmsford. Thunder's next appearance in pub- lic was at Stamford, where he won the Lonsdale Cup, his nearest opponent being Thunderer, of the samo ge, but with 31 lbs. loss to carry, and he was beaten half alength, At the Lewes August meeting Thunder was made a strong favorite for the County Cup, but he finished last of the four runners, The Colonel, Tangible, and Trombone being the first three in the order named, after which he ran threo losing races. In the Trial Stakes at the Houghton meeting of 1873 Thunder was entered to be sold for £1,000, and with 98 Ibs. he easily defeated Laburnum (122 Ibs), when the late Baron Rothschild claimed the horse for the Duke of St, Alvans, and he passed into the hands of Matthew Dawson, in whose name he won the Eprom | Cup on the Oaks day of 1874 The owner of Chingach- gook, who was second, objected to Thunder on the ground that he was not tho property of bis nominator, but the protest was withdrawn, In the Trial Stakes at Ascot, Thunder (147 Ibs.) won by three-quarters of a Jength trom Whitebait (119 Ibs.) and five otbers, but at the game meeting he was unplaced in the Windsor Handicap, won by Lowlander. He thon won the Not- tingbamshire and Chesterfield Handicaps at Nottingham, whence he travelled to Goodwood, where, with 135 Ibs., he won the Craven Stakes by a length from Ecossais (119 Ibs.), Lowlander (142 Ibs.) being a bad third, For the Great Yorkshire Handicap at Doncaster Thunder (122 Ibs.) finished third to Louise (105 Ibs.) and Bortram (110 Ibs.), while on tho following day, when attempting to give Thorn 7 lbs. in the Cleveland Handicap, he was beaten three quarters of a length—a defeat for which he made amends the next day in the Alexandra Plate by beating Thorn by a head, they ronning at a difference of one pound only. After ranning second in the Neweastlo Autumn Handicap to Jealousy, who was in receipt of a year and 48 Ibs., Thunder won the Trial Stakes at the Houghton meeting, his next appearance in public being in the Liverpool Autumn Cup, when, with 124 Ibs., he was beaten a length by Louise Victoria (107 Ibs.), Pa- geant (97 Ibs.) being third. Early last year Mr. Vyner, Tequiring a horse to lead Camballo in his work, pur- chased Thunder for, ii was sajd, £2,000, and bis first race as a five-year-old was being unplaced in the Lin- coln Handicap, after which he won the Great Warwick- shire Handicap and the Great Cheshire Stakes, wherein he carried 127 Ibs., Chivalrous’ (112 Ibs.) being second and Tam o’ Shanter (97 Ibs.) third. At Ascot he ran second to Conductor for the Trial Stakes, when Mr. Vyner claimed the winner for £1,000, and Thunder afterward ran five losing races, he winding up the year by waiking over for the Duchy Cup at Liverpool and the Severn Cup at Shrewsbury. Thunder ran in the Lincoln Handicap, March last, when he carried 130 lbs, but was eased when Archer found Controversy winning readily, Including the Great Cheshire Stakes of 1876, Thunder has won twenty races, their value approach- ing £7,000.

MOVEMENTS OF THE IMPERIAL FARTY—VISIT OF HIS MAJESTY AND SUITE TO BALTIMORE— ‘& VISIT TO THE PUBLIC BUILDINGS—SENOS GOMEZ TO COMPOSE A CENTENNIAL ODE. BALTIMore, May 12, 1876. At ten o’clock this morning the Emperor and Em- press left Philadelphia in a special train, accom- panied by the members of their suite, and were whirled away at good speed toward Baltimore. Two Pullman palace cars were provided for the service of the distinguished travellers. The only incident on the route worthy of note was the stop- ping of the train at the bridge over the Susquehanna to enable the Emperor toinspect the structure. Mr. Larkin, the engineer of the works, explained the diMiculties of the construction and how they were overcome, for which he received His Majesty's thanks. On the arrival of the train at Baltimore the Imperial party immediately drove to the Carrollton Hotel, where a suite of rooms had P aed engaged by telegraph. ‘The weather was threatening, but the Emperor, accompanied by the Visconde de Bom Retiro, sallied out to visit the various points of interest in the city. His Majesty wished first to direct Ins steps to the Exchange, but, thanks to the quick intelligence of his coachman, he was set down at the Custom House, which at one time had been the Exchange. His Majesty was anxious to see the merchants, but, owing to the lateness of the hour (three P. M), his wish could not be satisfied, as he was informed that the Exchange closes at an early hour, His Majesty then drove to the Peabody Institute, where he greatly admired Rhinehart’s figure of “Clytie.” He was shown through the library, and was very well pleased with its extent and the good judgment displayed in the selection of the works. In order to test the quality of the library His Majesty asked for several Tare and curious works. He was pleased to find they formed part of the collection, which he pro- nounced very good and well selected. “After running over the contents of a shelf His Majesty turned to the HERALD correspondent and sald:—“It is very good; the works are well selected. I could pass my life here.” His Majesty was also much interested in some portraits of Mr. Peabody and spoke quite warmly of the great philanthropist. Leaving the Peabody Insfitute His Majesty re- paired next to the CatholicCathedral. He was much interested by the pictures sent to this church by Louis X1V. and Charles X. The Academy of Science was then visited. Here His Majesty was greatly interested in the State col lection. It struck him as an admirable idea to begin work with, and he suggested,that each State tn the Union should possess an academy of science, and that by exchanging duplicates of each other's col- lections they could gradually widen the scope of their influence, without drawing too heavily on the National Treasury. The suggestion ts worth the consideration of our scientists, During all this tour through the city the rain fell in torrents, accom- panied by a heavy fallof hall stones. His Majesty said that when he got back to Rio Janeiro he would tell Mr. Partridge, our Minister to Brazil, who belongs to Baltimore, that he was received in his native city by a coup de pierre—with showers of stones. Continuing his promenade through the city, the Emperor came upon the Normal School. He imme- diately stopped the carriage and went into the building. He was received by the Principal, Mr. Newell, who explained the system and showed His Majesty through the. house, which is admirably suited to the requirement of a school. His Majesty, referring to his visit to the New York Normal School, said it had made a deep impression on his mind. He inquired the number of schools in the city, and ‘was somewhat surprised to find they numbered 120. His Majesty expressed his admiration at the splen- did school system of the country. The next visit was made to the new City Hall, whose majestic proportions filled the Emperor and Visconde de Bom Retiro with admiration. Both declared it was a magnificent palace. His Majesty ‘was so pleased with the exterior that he decided on visiting the interior. Mayor Latrobe was in his office, and, being notified of His Majesty's arrival, came forward and offered to gnide the party through the building. The wealth and Inxury displayed in the appointment df the various departments im- pressed the visitors so much that Visconde de Bom Retiro, when he was shown the meeting room of the Selectmen, asked if it were the Chamber of Depu- ties of the State. Everything in the building speaks of order, and certainly if the city government re- sembies its place of meeting it must be a model one. In the evening His Majesty went to Ford’s Opera House and witnessed the performance of Sheil's Play, “Evadne.” During the day His Majesty received a telegram from Carlos Gomez, the Brazilian composer, in reply to a telegram sent by His Majesty requesting Seftor Gomez to compose a suitable piece of music for the Centennial, and requesting that it should be sent in time to be played at Philadelphia on the Fourth of July next, which His Majesty says is the true Centennial The gifted composer has answered that he will set to work at once, and will do his best to meet the Emperor's wishes. His Majesty has decided to in- trust the interpretation of Carlos Gomez's music to Mr. Gilmore, whom he holds in high esteem. As soon as the music arrives it will be placed in Mr. Gilmore's hands. In the morning the Emperor will visit the naval schools of Annapolis, returning to Baltimore in the evening. The Empress remains in this city. On Sunday the whole party will leave for Cincin nati en route to the Mammoth Cave. WEST INDIES. BARBADOS STILL ALARMINGLY EXCITED—THE PRISONS OVERCROWDED—HEAVY LOSSES OF PROPERTY—THE EX-PRESIDENT OF HAYTI STILL ALIVE, Havana, May 12, 1876. Advices from St. Thomas to May 9 have been re- ceived.

DAMAGING DEVELOPMENTS IN M'KEE’S CASE—A DEAD MAN'S WEEKLY PAYMENTS TO HIM. Sr. Lovia, Mo., May 12, 1876, McKee and his friends are quite crestfallen over some additional exposures that were nade to-day, and which, it is generally conceded here, destroy his chances for a commutation of sentence, The developments consist principally of a sworn statement by Mrs. Fannie M. Leavenworth, wife of John Leavenworth, tie first dis- burser of ring money. The testimony for the govern- ment tracing the Whiskey Ring money into McKeo’s hands was confessedly weak and consisted solely of Fitzroy’s evidence, and it was chiefly upon this weak- ness of the caso against McKee that President Grant was expected to havo justified Executive mterier- enca Mrs, Leavenworth is highly respected in this city. Her statement was given into the hands of Dis- trict Attorney Dyer, who has forwarded a copy to the President, The following is the substance of her affidavit:— John Leavenworth was my husband. He dled in June, 1873. lL have met Wiliam McKee occasionally durng the last six years. I have seen him at the residence of my husband during his lifetime as many as three or four times; when he came to the house he always came alone, I also knew Conduce G. Megrue. I havo seen him at our residence six or seven times, In 1871 my husband first told ine of the organization of what is now known as the Whiskey Ring. He told me that it ‘was organized for political purposes, and I know of my own knowledge that my husband spent a large amount of money for this’ purpose. I learned from him that the money collected from distil lers was distributed at the office of the Supervisor, and certain amounts or packages given to him to deliver to certain parties. He fre- quently brought large sums of money to the house with him, This was done on Saturdays, and the money would frequontly remain im the house uaul Monday morning, When it would be taken away by my hus- band, I bave seen my husbana frequently count the | money and place it in envelopes markea “William McKee.” lam unable to state tho number of times I saw this done, but it was a Weekly occurrence or nearly so. Ihave seen bim have as much as $7,000 at a time in the house, On one ovcasion, atter the money bad been placed in the package and marked “William McKeo,” I went, in company with my husband, to the house of William McKee, on Washington avenue, I stopped on the pavement opposite the house, and my husbana told me to wait until be delivered the packa; Isaw him go to the door and deliver tho package—to whom I am unable to say, as I did not sce the party who received it, He told me his instruction was to deliver it either to McKee or his wile. On ono occasion, at night, William McKee camo to our house and asked for my busband. Zebolon Leavenworth ad- | mitted him. . When he came in he seemed to be very fearful that some one would know it, and spoke ina tone barely above a whisper, and said ‘“H-u. if he were afraid to have his rahe announced. 1 should say the amount paid by my busband to McKee ranged from $500 to $1,000 per week. It was my undorstand- ing that Mr. Ford received his portion through McKee. My husband and MeKee wore frequently togethor on the streets. The Zebulon Leavenworth referred to in the stato- ment is ono of tho indicted storekeepers whose caso was set for trial to-day, but was indefinitely con- tinued, It is supposed that in return for Mrs, Leavenworth’s statement against McKee she is to be paid by the gov- ernment in immunity to her brother-in-law Zebulon. She has also placed in tho District Attorney’s hands letters and written messages {rom McKee to Leaven- worth, manifestly on ring business, but their contents have not yet been made public.
