SULTAN—HIS ILLNESS ILLNESS AND INACTION. The reason they assign for this extreme measure ‘is the prolonged illness of the Sultan, who has lived in the closest seclusion ever since his accession to the throne, and has done nothing to encourage’ the hope that he may inaugurate a more vigorous policy than that pursued by his unfortunate predecessor, Abdul-Aziz. THE COMING REVOLUTION, It is expected that the demand will be made about the middle of August, when stirring events may be expected.

THE EXTRADITION QUESTION. fHB PALL MALL GAZETTE ON THE WINSLOW CASE—HOW THR SCANDAL MIGHT HAVE BEEN AVOIDED—THE AMERICAN AND THE ENGLISH THEORIES—AN EXAGGERATED THEORY OF REFUGE. Loxvox, July 26, 1874, The Pall Mall Gazette, in an editorial article on the tradition question, sa, “We arc still of the opinion that the scandal ot Winslow's liberation might have been avoided, or the responsibility attaching to Fngland considerably lightened, had a diferent attitude been assumed at an curler stave of the proceedings. As lar as this case ig concerned, Lord Granville had the best of the argu. ment, but regarding future cases there is an undoubted torce in Lord Derby's pies that as soon as a conthet of views Was manifested the extradition arrangement could Hot be too soon revised.” The article quotes Lord Derby's exposition of the American and Rug contentious regarding their re. cyprocal mghts and duties under the treaty, and con- Unves:— THE TWO THROMIES, “We should have supposed to anybody approaching this question with an unbiassed Judyment, doubt adour which theory was the more rational wouid be hardly possible. The two simple principles of universal ace ceptauce—one that civilized nations have acommon interest in repressing crime; the other that mea are justifiable according to the procedure of ihe country of their allegiance and no other—would seem to supply ample material for a decision im taver of the American view The rival theory appears to us utterly untenable except upon the assumption which has no natural foundation in justice or imternational duty, that a refugee acquires new rights as against the courts of his own country by the mere {fact of having escaped toa foreign land, AN RXAGGERATED THEORY OF REFUGE. “It is as the frst public movement toward the over- throw of an exaggerated theory of refugee criminals’ rights which have so strangely grown up of late years that we welcome the speeches of Earl Kimberley and Earl Grey in Monday's debate. GOODWOOD STAKES: 4 BRILLIANT ATTENDANCE TO WITNESS THE EVENT—HAMPTON THE WINNER—MRB. SAN- FORD'S AMERICAN HORSE MATE SEVENTH AT THE FINISH. [SPECIAL DESPATCH TO THE HERALD BY CABLE. ] Lonpon, July 26, 1876, The attendance at the Goodwood meeting to-day was remarkably brilliant. Hundreds of elegant equipages were drawn up near the course, their oc- cupants including many of the wealthiest and most energetic supporters of horse racing. Just previous to the starting of the horses the Prince of Wales’ turnout drove up. The Prince, who is looking ex- tremely healthy, was received in the most enthu- siastic manner and conducted to the royal box in the grand stand by the managers of the meeting. MR. SANFORD’S HORSE MATE was entered to run in the principal event of the day, the Goodwood Stakes. He was weighted at 112 Ibs., and, owing tothe excellent reports of hi§ re- cent performances in practice, it was expected that he would give some of the heavier as well as the lighter weights a very severe run for the prize, al- though the betting on the horse last night was not very flattering. easily beat such horses as Freeman and New Hol- land at 130 Ibs, and 125 Ibs. THE BETTING. The betting on this event previous to to-day has stood about thus :— 9 to 2 against King Log, 9 to 1 against Mate, 20 to 1 against Cornbrook. 20 to 1 against Impudenca, 100 to 8 against Finis. 20 to 1 against Balto. 15 to 1 agst. Tetople Bar. 20 to 1 against Lilian. 100 to6 agst. Admiral Byng. 25 to 1 against Scamp. 100 to 6 against Correggio. This morning Mate was scarcely mentioned by the betting men. Where he was named it was 100 to 8 against him. Of the first three named as winners the odds stood 7 to 14 against Hampton, 4 to 1 against Admiral Byng and 20 to 1 against Finis. THE RACE. Nine horses started, and it was soon perceptible that Mate would be among the last at the finish, which proved to be the fact. He ran very badly and disappointed many of the large number of Americans present. He was seventh at the winning post. Hampton was the winner by a length, Ad- miral Byng second and Finis third.

The following is a summary :— Tua Guopwoop Staxrs (handicap) of 25 sovs each suoscription, 15 forfeit and only 5 it declared, with 200 sovs, added: the winner of any public handicap subsequent to the declaration of the weights to carry 7 Ibs. extra, weights accumulative; the second horse to receive 100 sovs, out of the stakes, Two miles and a half, : Mr. B, Harvey's b. c.

A VIGOROUS ADVANCE PROMISED. + Camp OF GENERAL Crook's CoLuMN, July 23, Via Fort FETTeRMAN, July 26, 1876. The Sioux have made no demonstration for more than a week. The smoke has cleared from the sur- face of the country, and, while no scouting is carried on, from desultory observations reported it 1s to be feared that the Sioux are PREPARING A REFUGE for their families in the mountains, which are ca- pable of strong defence. They are expected to give general battle once more. COURIERS FROM TERRY. Two Crows arrived two days ago from General Terry with duplicate of despatch already received, detailing the Custer disaster. They saw no Sioux, but observed the trail of a large party going toward the Red Cloud agency. It 1s supposed they are carrying their wounded thither. The Crows report finding the bumal places of many of their dead scat- tered along the route of their fight, THY FIFTH CAVALRY left for Laramie on the 15th, and their arrival ts ex- pected on the 27th. An advance will then be made, Meantime General Terry is supposed to be already moving toward this command. MEN AND SUPPLIES, A courier was despatched toward him on the 20th. The Crows reported the arrival at his base of sup- plies of two steamboats loaded with men and horses. ADDITIONAL BEPORTS FROM CROOK—THE IN- DIANS BURNING THE GRASS AND A MOVEMENT RENDERED IMPERATIVE, Cuxvenne, W. T., July 26, 1876. Advices from General Crook's command in camp on the south fork of Yongue River, dated July 23, via Fort Fetterman, July 26, are of importance, The main body of the Sioux are believed to have taken to the Big Horn Mountains, where game is more abundant and the grass fresber. The efforts of the Indians to burn the grass in the valleys makes it almost impera- tive on General Crook to follow them up at once. GENERAL CROOK'S FORCE, His force musters about 1,200 regular soldiers and cilizen volunteers, besides the 200 Snake Indian allies, ‘and he feels he can at least hold bis own on any ground the emergency may select. It is expected the wagons will be parked on tho main Tongue River, near the mountains, and with the pack train loaded with trom fifteen to twenty days’ rations, A VIGOROUS BUT CARKFUL ADVANCE will immediately follow. It 1s not deemed advisa- ble for General Crook’ aod Goneral Torry’s forces to join previous to a move by one or other of the commands, It ts thought tho Indians would make a stand against one of the col- umns, and that by arranging them and baving the other column reserved for either fighting or following up with, something decisive may be expected during the summer campaign. POSITION OF THE ENEMY. The enemy is belicved to be on the head waters of Ash Creek and the Little Big Horn, not far trom the Montana and Wyoming line, thirty to forty miles from General Crook's present camp. GENERAL MERRITT’S MOVEMENTS, General Merritt left Fort Fetterman this morning with eight companies of the Fifth cavalry and two com- panies are now on thoir way to the fort, These latter with some 150 recruits will follow in a few days, THE OFFER OF VOLUNTEERS FROM TENNESSEE, Wasnixatos, July 26, 1876, The Hon, Casey Young, ot Tennessee, recently trans- mitted to the Seerctary of War telegrams from Captains Duncan and Phelan, of Memphis, Tenn., commanding respectively the Chickasaw Guards and Irish Volun- teers, tendering the services of their companies to the government in upholding the flag and maintaining its authority in any emergency which may occur. Repro- sentative Young says:— These companies are composed of the most chivalric and patriotic young gentlemen im the locality where they reside, are finely officered and drilled, perfectiy armed, and, shouid Congress confer upon you the authority to increase the present military establish- ment by calling into the field valunteor force, you will ind no more gallant and efficient soldiers tuan they would prove themselves to be it their services should be accepted. RESPONSE OF THE SECRETARY, NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, JULY 27. 1876. The Secretary of War, in acknowledging the tender | of these volunteers to act against the hostile Sioux, | say! Whilo I do not doubt that they would give a good account of themselves if brought into service, there is no authority of law for accepting them, and I can only order your letter to be placed on the tiles of the depart- ment and tender you herewith the thanks of the de- partment for the services proffered, ARTILLERY ORDERED TO FORT LEAVENWORTH.

AShoddy Mill, Without a Fire Escape, Takes Fire. HOW A NOBLE WOMAN LOST HER LIFE. Of Ten Occupants Two Are Burned to Death and One Fatally Injured. Puitapenrata, July 26, 1876. A terrible fire occurred in this city this moruing caus- ing a loss of life that was nothing less thau a butebéry, for which, according to the prevailing opinion here, the municipal authorities and the owner of the building de- serve lo be held strictly responsible. A fire breaks out mm @ mill, the floors and woodwork of which are soaked with oil, and the building stored with rags, and in sight of 2,000 agonized spectators two helpless women are burred to a cinder in a cage from which there 18 no | escapo, one more hes dying trom inhaling the fatal flames, and every other occupant of the building has a very narrow escapo from the jaws of death more or less injured, And all because, through neglect or meanness, 4 trap like this has NO PIRE KSCAPE, ‘That such a building should bo used for such a pur- pose, with actually bo sale means of escape in case of fire, filled, as it might have been, with human beings, isa crime, not only ou the part of the owners, but the city authorities which permitted it, even alter warning | had veen given them by a similar tire which occurred At this very place a year ago. That the loss of life was | not greater to-day is not by any means to be consid. | ered in extenuation, for it was solely owing to the for- | tunate faci that business was very dull with the mill | owner, and only ten employ és were in the building, It is irightful to think of what the consequences would Dave been had there been a {ull force empivyed, Legally the owner of the mil violated no law in neg- lecting to have fire escapes, the ordinances of this | city, it seems, not requiring them, although there are | probably more mills and factories here than ip any other city in the Union. It is to be hoped to-day’s disaster may have some effect in awakening the city government to its responsibility, The bravery of Ellen Hever, the heroine in humble ‘life who Jost her lite to save others, puts to shame the callousness which neg: lected ‘o take ordinary precautions to prevent un- necessary sacrifice in case of bre, THK GLOBE MILLS. The scene of this lire was the Qid Globe Shoddy Mill, as 1t Was called, on St Jobn strect, below German: town avenue, tu the extreme upper portion of this cit a property owned by one James Nolan and occupied amill by William Johnston, whose names deserve to ve remembered. Lt was tour stories high and fronted 100 feet on St. John sireet, with a aepth of fifty feet on | Germantown avenue. ‘The employés of tbe mill this | morning were only ton in bumber, consisting of John M. Turner, Jobn Brooks, Thomas Magee, Elien Hever, ‘Ann Peterson, Maria Hoover, Coruesta Peterson, Mag gie Sheridan, Maggic Sweeney and Matto Hoover. At soven o'clock they went to work as usual. Five of the | women went to the fourth floor aud began their task of sorting rags; ono was on the third floor in the siorage and stock room, and Ellen Hever | with the three men went to work on the ground tloer, | in the carding room. The second floor, used as tho’ | picker room, was unoccupied, Shortly alter eight | o'clock A SMELL OF BURNING RAGS caused Turner to run hastily up stairs to this room, covered the whole apartment in a blaze, He at once gave the alarm, but almost quicker than it takes to teil the story the whole comoustibie building | | | and greasy rags in it and all the flooring being soaked in grease and oi, So quickly did the flames spread that before the women above could get down stairs that avenue of escape was cut off. : THE HEROINE, The instant the alarm was given Ellen Hever, who was on tho first floor, with a noble instinet that cost her her life, ran up stairs to the third and fourth floors and | urged her ¢ py ior their safety. This brave | woman mi ed herself, being on the stroet floor; but sue determ.ned to make'a desperate eflort to rescue those who were in greater peril, Following bor, | the five on the fourth floor and the one in the third | story ran down the stairway AJUMP FOR LIFE. But they wero already too late, Reaching the sec- ond floor they were coilronted by the flames which were making their course toward the roof, The women turned to flee trom the dreaded element, but there was no escape trom it on the second floor and they saw | they must either go above or make their escape from the windows. Just back of the mill stood an old suitd which could be reached from the second fioor without danger of lie or limb, and, with a presence of mind which is seldom witnessed at such a ume, four of the women made # rush through the flames to the window | | sill und dropped over upon this trame structure, These four were Cornelia Peterson, Maggie Sheridan, Maggie | Sweeney and Mattie Hoover, Coruclia Peterson was missing for somo time and it was thought she had perished in the building, but ut an hour after information was received that she | reached her home in safety. They wore ail singed however, but none of the five received any serious wounds, AN AGONIZING SCRXR. But th> most terribie portion of this disaster 1s yet to be told, The brave woman who had risked her own lifo to save the others was not among those who reached the window. Belore she und Ann Patterson and Maria Hoover could follow their companions even | that avenue of escape was cut olf. Great tongues of flame suddenly burst up through the floor in front of this window, to pass through which would have been certain aud terrible death, The great crowd which hau collec.ed on the street could see the three women rusting from | one corner of the room to the other, making Irantic | gestures for assistance, but belp was paralyzed by the intense heat which went out from the burning build- ing. With aery of despair the tric saw the jurid flame increasing, and they were driven up the stairway, continuing on until they reached the fourth floor. | Here they felt safe for a briet time, and briei it was, for | a tow minutes had only elapsed betore tho flames came creopiug through the floor, There was no time jor | now. The agonized crowd that was powerless to aid | shouted, ‘Jump, jump!” ‘Don't be burned to death; you had better be maimed than that’? ‘Jump, and we wiil save you '’ Some men rolled bales of rags and suoddy under the windows and callod again to the women who could be seen through the smoke wildly gesticulating and imploring help as only despair can, | for the cruel flames were even then singeing them. The | excitement in the crowd was almost madness. Some | lost their wits enurely, and as the men piled up the | rags for the women to fall upon others dragged it away, | not knowing what they did, | A TERKIALE LEAP. Ann Patterson was the first to attempt to escape by this terrible alternative, Climbing upou the window sillshe made the frightful leap into the street tour stories below. Strong men sickencd and turned away their heads, There was a moment of awful susper ‘The second of time occupied in sailing seemed like an hour to those who witnessed the sight, and when she struck the pavement a ery of agouy arose from the muititude heart rending to hear, and which those who were present will never forset. ‘The other two women had secured a rope, which they fastened to the silt, but it only reacted down to the top of the second story windows. It was the best they | could secure, however, and one came down after the other, Ellen Hever first and Ann Patterson next. The | fall trom the end of the rope was very severe, and when the three women were picked up they wero bruised and mangled beyond recognition THR DEAD. They were tenderly lifted up by compassionate hands and borne to neighboring drag stores, Elien Hever, horribly mangled, was placed in an ambulance to be taken 10 St. Mary’s Hospital, alter her wounds bad been temporary dressed, but she died even beiore the driver could start, Ann Patterson was carried to St. Mary’s Hospital, where she died ia an hour's time, he was thirt Single, and lived on Bainbridge astrest,e ROUBLY HORT. .

Usirep States Stsamen Paros, Hoyo Kono, China, June 14, 1876, To tne Evrror or tuk Hexatp:— The United States steamer Ashuelot, Commander E. ©, Mathews commanding, arrived here on the 12th inst, from Bangkok, Siam, where she has been for some 4 time past, her commanding officer having been ordered to that place for the purpose of investigating com- plaints that were made against General F.W. Partridge, United States Consul for Siam, by American citizens and others. From the officers of the Ashuclos 1 learn the following, which were stated as facts :— The King of Siam, wishing his country to be repre- sented at tho Centennial Exposition at Philadelphia, gathered together a large quantity of stores of various kinds representing the different varieties of Siamese industry ; specimens of gold and silver plate, collections of minerals, models of houses, tenples and boats. In fact, he gathered a large and valuable collection of goods and appointed Mr, Chandler, an American, who bas lived many years in Siam, as his Commiss:oner to the Centenn:al Exposition. Our Consul, Mr. Partridge, wished to get the appointment for himself, even trying to force the Siamese to give him the appointment, Failing in this he did everything in his power to pro- veut the departure of tho Centennial goods with the agent, Mr. Chandler. At last he hit upon a scheme which proved effectual, Mr. Chandler, some years ago, had become bankrupt, giving up all his property to satisiy his creditors, among whom was an American firm who had Olea a claim against nim at the United States Consulate, This old charge was raked up against Mr, Chandler by our noble representative, and he was arrested, upon a writ issued by General Part. ridge, by the United States Marshal, Master Frod Partridge, the Consul’s hopeful son, This oflcer.of | justice, far from showing any respect or consideration | for the gray hairs of the old gentleman, knocked him down during toe operation and lodged bim in the Con. sular Jail THIS ACT OF GROSS INJUSTICE excited the indignation of all, and the King, justly in- censed at this invult, refused to have anything to do ‘with the Consul or to be represented at the Centennial, | and would not altow the goods to be shipped. General | Partridge, meeting with opposition, sent tor an Amert- can gunboat to support his authority, but, wisely | thinking it might lead to an investigation of his con- | duct, he countermanded his request, | In the meantime Mrs, Chandler started for home, hoping to help her husband by saying the facts of the case before the property authority. Mrs, Chandler lett Bangkok without the Consul’s knowledge. As soon as he found it out he started for Singapore in bot haste, hoping to intercept the lady at that place, appointing | bis son Vice Consul and Acting Consul in bis absence, General Partridge alleged that the lady had important papers in her possession which were conuected with | her husband's case and which it was essary for him to obtain. His provable object, however, was to detain Mrs. Chandler at Bangkok. He arrived in Singapore just too late to intercept the lady, and returned to Bavgkok. 1n the meantime the American missionaries and other American citizens had written and signed a paper enumerating their grievances and preferring grave charges both against the Consul and his son tor Misconduct, This paper was gent to the proper author- ities, General Partridge Minding i out when too late to Intercept it, ‘The Consul suspected one Reynolds as being the in- stigator of this papor, and charges of libel were Oiled against him b/ young Partridge, damages being fixed at $490, This amount was fixed upon as atl Consuls can impose fines without appeal, said Oves not to ex- coed $500, In cases where fines are levied exceeding that umount there can be an appeal to a hizher source. ‘The Consular Court was convened upon the day ap- pointed for the trial, eral Partridge remarked as the prosecution was not ready, although it m be deomed a little irregular, still be would go on with tho case and allow the defendant to go on and cali up wit- nesses in order to demonstrate the facts of bis inno cence. Several missionaries were then called up witnesses for the defence and cross-examiued by mas- ter Fred Partridge, who appeared tor the prosecution. One of the questions asked them concerning their knowledge of the case was such that they could not answer without implicating themselves; they refused to answer it, making this plea, The plea was disal- lowed and the same question was repeated with little change five separate times, the Consul fining witnesses $10 tor each offence ($50 each) for contempt of court Furthermore, at the conclusion of the trial he Judged-that as the witnesses had done all in their power to hinder the trial, it was no more than fair that they should pay the costs of the suit, amounting to $84, carried ovt, and the witvesses, who were missionaries, went to prison.

Upon her arrival that placo Captain Mathews restored tra: and confidence in the minds of both Americans and and Siamese and became a great favorite of the King. He bas written, I believe, a lengthy roport upon tho subject of his Visit, reporting General Partridge to the State Deparune: that that worthy will probabiy ve removed trom bi one quickly as possible. General Partridge 1s from [linois.

[From the Graphic, July 26.) From the heart of the Dark Continent comes ones more the voice of enlightened exploration Stanley te heard from ‘or the first time in more than a year, and the plucky messenger brings to Zanzibar and to Enge land five letters detailing the observations of this in- trepid reporter. His previous letiers, received im June, 1875, told of bis exploration of that vast reser+ voir of the Upper Nile, Victoria Niyanza, in the yacht Lady Alice, and of bis royal entertainment by King Mtosa, the public spirited monarch of that region. His present letters tell how he has spent the interven- ing thirteen months. He has made himself familiar with the topograpby of the land embraced vetween \hose vast lakes or inland seas, Albert and Victoria, and extending southward toward Tanganyika—a ree gion as large as the State of New York, This was hitherto almost entirely unexplored By this time Staniey has doubtless arrived at Uvira or Ujijt and struck thence westward to follow north the Lualaba River, and wrest {rom equatorial Africa the secrets of the great Cony Mr. Stanley, selected to carry on and perfect the work begun by Livingstony, dflers trom that eminent traveller in almost every respect, except in pauience and endurance, Stanley 18 in spiritan explorer; Liv. ingstone was a missionary.

CAPTAIN ROWLAND RELEASED ON BAIL YESTERs DaY. Probably the last move in the legal proceedings ins cident to the jamentable Mohawk disaster was had yesteraay. Captain Rowland was admitted to bail in $2,000, and left Staten Island from Quarantine landing on the twoo'clock boat, His suretios were procured by the law firm which attended to the lato Mr, Gare ner’s law concerns, They were Mr. Stephen H. Mills, a wholesale grocer, of South street, New York, and ur. c. es Wempie, a friend of the Garner family. To avoid a disturbance Justice Garrett arranced the acceptance of the bail in # rather private way. Ha started from Stapleton at one o'clock tor the Richmond County Jail, accompanied by an officer. About midway between Stapleton and the jail the Justice lett the carri ordering the officer to bring Captain Rowland to a brewery outside of Stapleton, where the bonds- men were to be im readiness to sign the necessary papers. The officer proceeded to the jail and soon aiter returned to the appointed place with Captain Rowland and the deputy sheriff having him in charge. The papers were signed and the Captain, with the officer, proceeded to Quarantine landing, on his way to city, So secretly had the matter been conducted th. even the reporters uid not know what di been made vt the case until late in tl Justice Garrett made himself movable ob- jective poimt with wonderfal —_ effectiveness. Kuowing the feeling against Captain Rowland he was careful not to expose him to danger, and for the Captain's safety he even concealed himself. When found, Justice Garrett said:—“in my opinion this is the last that will ever be heard of the matier in the world. Grand Jury docs not meet until Octo ber, and by that time the people making this complat wiil be at Liverpool or the Cape of Good Hope or so: other distant port, The Captain,” he added, ‘is ready punished enough, He feeis as badiy about the matter as anybody could feel. His own conscience is sufficient punisbment tor hit.’ PLYMOUTH ROCK MISHAP.
