existed, He sald that money contributions of pri- vate persons toward a war fund was sanctioned, and that this money would be applied to complet- ing the Egyptian contingent. The Khedive hoped that the Suez Canal would remain neutral water. After stating again that, come what may, the rights of the Egyptian creditors would remain intact, the imterview ended.” THE SUEZ CANAL, The HeRaty's Egyptian correspondent also visited the British fleet at Port Sald on Friday. The Monarch’s boilers have given out, and she will return to England to have them replaced. The Hotspur will remain at the entrance to the ‘anal until further orders. The rest of the feet has gone to the Pireus, the port of Athens. The feet is composed of the Alexandra, Admiral Hornby’s flagship, carrying 12 heavy guns, and having armor 11 inches thick; the Sultan, 12 guns, 10 inches of armor plate and 5,230 tons burden; the Swiftsure, 14 guns, 7 inches of iron plate, 4,890 tons; ‘the Devastation, 4 guns, turret, in which 18 mounted a 41-ton gun, 4,400 tons burden; the Monarch, 7 guns, turret, 9 inches of steel plate; the Hotspur, a ram, 4 guns, a turret with 9-inch plates, and the Raleigh, a despatch boat. The Monarch has the greatest speed, being equal to 15 knots per hour. The Hotspur is slower, being equal to only 12 knots. The Devastation is the most formidable. Nearly all have Gatling guns on board. The Egyptian navy is weak, as the best vessels are serving as transports in the Black Sea. It is re- Ported that the British ironclad Research may be expected at Port Said at an early day. The Turkish Minister of Marine, Cassim Pacha, arrived on she 15th at Alexandria from Constanti- nople. Z THE STRENGTH OF THE EGYPTIANS, ‘The strength of the Egyptian army is unknown. fhe troops are all armed with Remington breech- touders’and the field artillery with Krupp steel breech-loading cannons, A scarcity of horses exists owing to the fatal horse epidemic last year. The physique o1 the men is unsurpassed by that of any army in the world. Egypt has already Bent 8,000 men to Turkey, where they have been employed in the garrisoning of Varna, Three or four thousand more troops will be sent soon. Prince Hassan, the Minister ot War, the Khedive’s third son, who was educated at Oxford, served in the Prussian Second dragoon guards and served in Abyssinia, is expected to depart for Turkey, accompanied by twenty statr ofiicers. They are ali natives, with four excep tions. It is highly improbable that any American Dilicers will be sent, they having important admin- istrative work to perform in Egypt. The Prince will probably have command of a mixed Egyptian and Turkish army corps. The Rgyptian troops have already won an excelient reputation in Tur- key. Many officers have been decorated and pro- moted by the Turkish government. All of them are fully equipped, THE CAPTURRD CITY OF ARDAHAN. ‘The Russians captured at Ardaban a Turkish pacha, eighty-two capnons, including two eight-inch and a number of smaller Krupps, Ardahan, like all other old citadels on the Asiatic trontier, was surrounded by heights commanding it within easy artillery range. These heights bad been fortifled, but when they were Once taken—as seems to have boen the case at Ar- dahan—the fortress itself would become un- tenabl so the Turks did the best they could— namely, to withdraw the garrison of eleven bat- talions ond effect a junction with Mukhtar Pacha in the direction of Erseroum. It is a remarkable fact that they forgot to destroy their stores and to spike their cannons This was an oversight which casts.a shadow over a leisurely abandonment of & prent fortress such as that at Ardahan. The danger so she Turks is that the Russians in the neighborbood of Kara may waylay their retreating force if they attempt to pass that way. But there is another and much more difficult mountain road through the Valley of the Kora to the Valley of Olti which the re. treating Turks will probably take, The fall of Arda- bap is aconsiderable advantage to the Russians, for besides opening a line of communication with Aknalt- zik it will enable the Russians to turn the force hith- erto operating against Ardaban toward Kars or to take Part in a combineu operation agaiust Erzeroum, INCIDENTS OF THE SIKGR, A despatch from Erzeroum, dated Saturday, describ- ing the first attacks ou Ardahan, says:—‘The efforts of the Russians commenced with a heavy artillery fire, which was as hotly returned, This was followed by impetuous Infantry attacks, which were repulsed every time with great slaughter, Under orders appa- rently to obtain success somewhere or other at any cost the troops were led back to the assault after each failure, ontil night stopped the carnage. The city was taken the following day.’” MAVK THEY DONE 80? A telegram trom Erzoroum announces that th Russians have withdrawn trom Kagysman, a large for- tided towm on the River Arras, twenty-five miles south of Kars, This is an exceedingly improbable piece of sews, because Kars is surrounded by the Russians s0 that no attack could come from there, and it is certain that Kagysman was not abandoned without being besieged. Wrom it a road loads direct to Kars, northe ward. It1s only ten miles from the Russian froatier. REPORE BATOUM, The Russian forces at Baioum, after making a show of warlike intentions un Friday last, contented them. selves with an artillery duol. The fact was the Rus- sians had sent off fifteen battalions in the direction of Sookgoom-Kale in the hope of urresting the insurrec- tion which spread from that centre. The defences of Batoum are unimpaired. and the position leavos nothing to desire. Theissue of the noxt assault is looked upon as a pretty certain victory for the Sultan.

Tho Supreme Court to-day sealed the fate of another murderous Molly Maguire, making the Mith capital Case at the recent term on which the judgment of the Court of Schuylkill county has been affirmed. Ou the first day of the session it disposed of four porsons concerned in the cowardly assassination of Policeman Yost, of Tamugua, nearly two years ugo, and to-day it took similar action in the case of Thomas Dulty, an accomplice who did not participate in the actual mur- dor, but at whose instance it was committed. While in the performance of his dutics the policeman was compelied to use violence on Dufly to secure his urrest, and Duffy bad bim killed in re- taliation, procuring tho services of two members of the Molly Maguire organization from Carbon county todo the bloody work, There were fitty-tour assign- ments of error in the case, but thoy had nearty all been traversed in opinions by tho Supreme Court in Molly Maguire cases proviously decided. Dufty’s conviction was due maitly-to the testimony of James Kerrigan, an accomplice in the murder, and the Supreme Court was invoked to reverse the ruling of the Court below in allowing it to be offered, On this poiat the higher Court says:—‘‘His (Kerrigan’s) testimony has been corroborated to such un extent, in material points, tending to implicate Thomas Dufly in the commnssion of the murder, as ua accessory before ube fact, that the credibility of Kerrigan became a question for the’ jury, whose verdict cannot now be reached,’? PROBABLY DATE OF EXECUTION, Although the Governor generally gives murderers about sixty days’ grace alter the court records on cap- ital cases are certified to the State Department, it is believed that he willissue a warrant tor the execution of Dufly and his four accomplicos on the same day on which fhomas Munley, another ‘Mollie, is to be hangod at Pottsville. Should he decide on such a course there would be ten executions im tho State on the 2lst day of June KEHOE’S CASE. The case-ot Jack Kehoe, one of the most dangerous Moily Maguires in the coal regious, apd regarded as @ chicf among them, was set down for argument in the. Supreme Court on Monday next, on a writ of error, but that tribunal to-day extended the time until the ext term of the Court im Pitsburg. Tho argu- ment was continued on the ground that Kehoe’s counsel had a prior professional en- agement, and that Mrs. Keuoe and her husband had uot sufficieat means to huve the necessary papers prepared, having exhausted their funds in the three previous trials of the accused, Kehoe having been convicted of conspiracy in two cases and sen- fenced to fourteen yours’ unprisonment und of tho murder of F, W. 8.

Sebuyikill county colliery ticket boss, who was stone to death in 1862 by Kehoe and others, several of whom have been sentenced to the Penitentiary for long terms, For this crite Kehoe was sentenced io be hanged, ‘The Supreme Court hus now disposed of all the a Maguire cases to be considered by it at tho pres- ent time, A-BAD SCHILLING, [BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD, | ‘ ‘Trextox, N.

Unpleasant Alternative for the Marshal President, WILL HE RESIGNP Germany Increasing Her Forces in Alsace and Lorraine. + ANOTHER MURDEROUS MUTINY. [SY CABLE TO THE HERALD.1 Loxpox, May 22, 1977, A special Paris correspondent ‘states that the prefece toral changes would alone suffice to show that the con- Spiracy in Franco is of jong standing, for such a list could not have been prepared within twenty-four bours, ‘The cprrespondentalso points out the dilemma in which the Marshal was placed by having declured in his mes* sage that he appeals to thocountry, The Marshal, afer such @ declaration, must oither remain by a coup de force or resign, unless, as is quite improbable, the new viections result in a majority for the presont Cabinet, Everybody knows that, even if such a ma- Jority exiated, it could not last long; yet the Marshal has been induced to uct by the assurance that such a mujority exists, ‘hero are people who allege that re- ceat events bave beon provoked ouly for the purpose ot leading the Marshal to retire, ‘THK AMBASSADORS PAVOR .DECAZKS, Tt is certain that the various foreign ambassadors urged the Duke Decazes to remain in office. The ambassadors of Germany and Italy represonted that if the Duke Duecazes would make the change appear «ag sone Simply aflecting internal politics, while his redrement would give the Cabinet an anti-liberal character, disquieting tor the religious policy of the two countries, The repre- sentatives of Spain and Portugal expressed fear lest the withdrawal of the Duke Decazes might give the Cabinot character to encourage the ideas of the parti- sans of legitimistism and absolutism. FEELING IN GERMANY—MORB TROOPS YOR ALSACE. Advices from Berlin state that in consequonce of tho appoiutment of a semi-ultramontane Cabinet in France the oft-mooted reinforcement of the Alsace-Lorraino garrisons is likely tobe carried into eflect, The in croase will probably amount to 10,000 or 12,000 men in Alsace-Lorraine and °6,000 in tho country be- tween Rastadt, Mayenco and Coblentz. This makes the forces in western Germany equalto those in northeastern France. There is no auxiety as to President MacMabon’s immediate inten- tions, yet it is apprehended that tho ultramontane members of the new government may eventually prevail over the Duke Decazes and induce a moro uctive period in the foretgn policy of France.

In the House to-day the joint resolution for the ap- Pointment of # commission to investigate the consoli- dated indebtedness and other liabilities of the State passed alter a strong fight on the part of the repudia- tionists, THE RESOLUTIONS. ‘The joint resolution recommending the appointment of the commission recites, by way of preamble, that in view of tho great uncertainty that exists in the minds of the tax paying portion of the people as to the definite amount of the true and valid indebtedness of the Stato, the character of the obligations outof which the indebtedness has grown, and of the equally unsatisfactory condition of the credit of the State as long 9s aay doubt or. suspicion attaches to any claims held against her, and in order to give reasonabie assurance to the honest creditor on the one hand that the State intends to faithfully meet her obligations at as early a date as practicable, and on the other hand to satisfy the taxpayer that the General Assembly will have proceeded jntelligently 1p whatever steps may bo taken to adjust and provide for "the public debt, itis therefore resolved that m accord. anco with the Governor’s Message on the subject a commission shall be appointed to covsizt of oue Si ator, to be appointoa by the President of the Seuay two members of the Hone, Ww be appointed by the Speaker, and two citizens of the State, of recognized financial ability, to be appointed by the Governor ‘The duties of the commission are defined to be to in+ vestigate :— First— The entire amount of consolidated bonds and cortuillcates of stocks issued under the act to reduce the voluine of the public debt de for payment of the same (approved 1873), $0 a8 to show the number on tb and redemption depomii |. Fates of whom signod aud countersigned aid to wh, Second—-Whether there are in the State office ou file vouchers, cancelled bonds and of stock of tue issues described and authorized to be consolidated by Lhe act above reciied to the amount roquired by said act Thirt—fhe commission is required to report whether any such bonds or cortilicates of stock or coupons haya boen illegally or otherwise improperly issuel, und to report the samme, with tho evidence of such tilugal ty. Fourth—ihe commission is authorized to reauivo tho holders of such bouds and stock to produce tho same before tho commission in Columbia, ‘Those found to be correct shull be registered and certified as correct by the commission, and the coupons and in- terest orders of such only shall be so registered and dag valid shail be receivable for taxes or pay- it the Treasury, The remaining foatures of the resolution are to make false swearing by or uciore the committee pun- ishable as perjury, aud to authorize the Comptroller and Treasurer to perate with the commicsion when: called upon to do €0; to authorize the commission to eit durmog (he re of the General Assembly, and to require it to investigate the amount and character of the floating Indebtedness of the State and report there- ou to detail, ‘The siruggle between the repudiationists and those favoring an early adjustment of the public debt was, first, on the composition of the proposed commission and the fact thas the resolution as it stood gives the commision plenary powers to decide the validity or invalidity of the debt. Tho repudiationists were dosir- ous, after (iuding that on eppropriation bad been made for the payment of the public debt, to postpone as long as porsible its disbursement, and hence fought Lard to compel the commission to report to the next Geueral Assembly, which should pass upon the matter; Lut as in the Urst instance they were budiy dereated, aud as the commission will go to work as g00n as the reso!ution passes tho Senate, there is no doubt the pet are assured of a speedy settlement of their claims.
