(BY caBLEe TO THE HERALD.) Loxpos, Nov. 20, 1878, The committee organized to urge an early meeting of the British Parliament in view.of war with Afghan- istan having asked Lord Beaconsfield to grant them an -interview, tho Premier has written a let- ter to their chairman, Lord Lawrence, in reply. Lord Beaconsfield says he is ata loss to perceive what necful purpose can be served by amore ex- tended expression, through a deputation from the committee, of opinions which Lord Lawrence and others have so frequently and copiously explained in regard to tho assembling of Parliament. The government will, as a matter of course, be pre- pared, in the event of the commencement of hostili- ties in India, to advise Her Majesty to make such communication to Parliament as tho letter and spirit of the act regulsting ‘the relations of the Crown with India may seem to require. This would seem to be a not less satisfactory and scarcely less constitutional mode of mecting the eccasion than & series of memorials and deputa- tions. The papers relative to India will be published before the end of the mionth. Lord Lawrence's committee yesterday passed a reso- fution regretting Lord Beaconsfield’s refusal to re- ive a deputation, and emphatically condemning his Spparent determination, in the event of war being declared, not to advise He: Mujesty to consult Parlia- ment until hostilities have begun. The committee adjourned until Friday, and decided meanwhile to collect ‘signatures to the protest. The act cited by Lord Bezconsfcld in his letter to Lord Law- Fence preceribes that when Parliament is sitting any order directing an actual com- mencement of hostilities by Her Majesty’s forces in India must be communicated to it within three months, and if Parliament is not sitting, then within a month after it reassembles. Thus the gov- ernment are under no legal obligation to call Parlia- ment earlier than usual. : THE APPROACHING WAR. The Bombay Gaztte of yesterday, announces that several regiments haye been warned to hold them- selves in readiness to advance from Quetta immedi- ately, and that ail are ready, Merchants from Central Asia say that no indications of a movement of the Bussians toward Afghanistan are observable, THE RUSSIANS IX BULGARLA. Giannettini secured him, ‘The struggle between Sig- nor Cairoli and the asszssin was very desperate, but the whole affair was over in a few moments. ‘THE POLICE OFFICER PROMOTED. ‘The cortége proceeded on its way, and the King’s aspect was so calm and that of Signor Carioli so smil- ing that nobody suspected what had happened. On reaching the palace the Minister's wound was bound ard leeches and ice applied. ‘The King visited Gian- nettini, the brave municipal guard, and promoted him to the rank of sergeant. DOWN ON ALL AUTHORITY. Passanante confessed his connection with the inter- nationaliste, and said ho detasted kings and emperors, and desired tho abolition of ‘monarchies, ministries, authorities and misery.” FURTHER. CONFESSIONS. Passanante informed his examiners to-day that his intention was to finish King Humbert, and if he had had money enough to buy a revolver he would have succeeded. He had no personal feeling against the King or the government. He intended the assassina- tion as a means toward a universal republic. FURTHER ARRESTS. Signor Melillo, editor of the Naples Censor (news- paper), has been arrested. He was formerly an asso- ciate of Passanante, and was arrested with him in 1870 for posting revolutionary placards, The shop keeper who sold Passanante the knife with which he attempted to kill the King has also been arrested. A SECOND AFTACK. ‘The Corps.of Veterans which suffered @ loss of two men by the explosion of # bomb thrown into the ranks during # procession in Florence, in celebration of King Humbert's escape from the assassin, was sim- ilarly attacked while returning from a funeral pro- cession in honor of King Victor Emmanuel. SEVERAL AKRESTS MADE IN YLORENCE. The authorities of Florence have made several arrests in connection with the bomb outrage. They are confident of detecting the criminal. An- other of the wounded has died. ‘THE POPE'S CONGRATULATIONS. ‘The following is the Pope’s congratulatory telegrant to King Hambert:— “Having heard of the deplorable attempt made against the life of your Majesty, I express to you my extreme concern, and at the same time my congratu- Prince Doudoukoff-Korsakoff, the Governor of Bul- | lations that you have escaped this grave danger. I @aria, has arrived at Odessa on his way to Livadia | pray God for the preservation of your Majesty’s to report upon the state of afsirs in Turkey. ‘The Vienna correepondent of the Times thinks that, in view of the fact that Prince Doudoukoff-Korsakoff has expreseed bis opposition to the ‘Treaty of Berlin, the appointment of another son as Governor of Bulgaria is probable. ‘The Bucharest newspapers publish the particuiars of the Russian demands, which, if correct, materially detract from their significance. They seem only to have usked increased facilities for health, LEO.” A HERO GONE. per- | ASSASSINATION OF ¥X‘PRESIDENT PRADO, 7 OF PERU. ~ [B¥‘CABLE TO THE HERALD.” Pants, Nov. 19, 1878.

Said Pacha, formerty s favorite and First Secretary to the Sultan, now Governor of the province of Broussa, has been recalled to Constantinople, and it manded a cavalry regiment. He was, re- warded by being made Governor of the Province of Arequipa, which position he held when the revolution against President Pezet began in 1865. The immediate cause of this revolution was the signing of the geaty of Callao, between Pezet und the Spanish Admiral Pareja, The Peruvians suspected Peset of treason, refused to abide by his treaty, and, under the ‘A despaten | leadership of Prado, succeeded in deposing him. Prado raised an army of 12,000 and defeated whieh gavo him of Lima, where, on the 6th of November, 1865, he was made dictator or supreme chief of the nation, He shortly after—January 15, 1#866—declared war against Spain and formed the alli- ance with Chili.

Wasinetow, Nov. 19, 1878. In view of the widely extended criticisms upon the Indian Bureau and the general management of the Interior Department for alleged inefficiency or bad faith concerning the Northern Cheyennes, Seaavtary Schurz called upon the Commissioner of Indian Affairs for @ special report touching the causes which led to their revent outbreak, Commissioner Hayt, in turn, called upon Friend John D. Miles (in charge of the Cheyenne and Arrapahoe Agency), for a report, which wus received last week and transmitted to Secretary Schurz on Saturday, together with an elab- orate and very emphatic review of the whole sub- ject written by the Commissioner. SLATRMENT OF COMMISSIONER HAYT. Mr. Huyt, after setting forth precisely the amount of supplica of. various kinds duc to the Northern Cheyennes under the treaty of 1876, turnishés 4 de- tailed statement of (ke supplies actually received, by | them during the year ended June 30 last, showing “that they reccived about 333,000 ponnds more of beef and 7,000 pounds’ more of flour than they were en- titled to, although they were given about 2,000 pounds leas of coffee, "4,000 pounds less of sugar, 9,000 pounds less of beans, and althought here was also a deficit in theeamount of corn required by the treaty. It is atated, however, that considerable quantities of tobaceo, soap, baking powder, salt and other articles, | not required’ by the treaty, were furnished to the | Indians; and that the supplies actually received by them wero of the money valne of $35,204, an agaivet & money value of $32,316 to which they were entitled. “This statement,” says Commissioner Huyt, “dis- poses of all the clamor that has been current during the year, that these Indians did not receive rations to the amount to which they were entitled under the tor He quotes from the Revised Statutes to show that Agent Miles fuerely fulfilled a sworn duty in with- holding from the small band of insubordinate Chey- enner a portion of the supplies of sugar and coffee at certain times in order to compel their performance of + the treaty stipulation requiring certain agricultural labor for their own benefit. CAUSE OF DEFICIENCIES, Ho also states that the deficien certain classes of specified supplies at the reservation was. due wholly to the I¢teness of the date at which Congress made the necessary appropriation, He insists, how- ever, that the goverument ration furnished for every man, woman child was amply sufficient for their sustenance, as it consisted of three pounds of beef, gross, half 2 pound of tlour and half a pound of corn per diem; eight pounds of sugar, four of coffee and three of beans additional for every 100 rations. MAJOR MIZNER CONTRADICTED. Referring to the published assertions of Major Miz- ner, conimending at Fort Reno, that from the lst of July to the 1st of September the weekly rations lasted only for three of the seven days, Cominissioner Hayt remarks that although Indians ure prone to be-im- provident and some of them may have gorged their rovinions improvidently, yet, in -order to credit r Mizner’s exact and sweeping statement, it must be supposed he visited the lodges of over five thou- sand Indians and took a detailed inventory of their food supply. Mr. Hayt adds on this point:— “In opposition to such a rendom statement, which has been quoted with other assertions, ure the facts given herewith of the daily ration issued for every man, woman and child at the agency.” ‘The Commissioner proceeds to lay before the Sec- retary official records dixproving Major Mizner's statement to General Sheridan that there is already @ deficiency in the supplies provided for the Cheyenne Indians during the prosent fiscal yoar, as compared with the requirements of the treaty. It is shown that the Bureau has made ample arrangements for supplying the full amount called for by the treaty. Commissioner Hayt concludes his letter aa fol- lows :—‘Major Mizner says further: ‘They (the Indians) are left with the moains too to war. We sinnly sleeyon a volcano, * * Thave also to ask that any Indians sout from the Nerth to thiv department be dis- arined before being sont here. With seference to this language of Major Mizner, T have to say it is plainly the duty of the military au- thorities to disarm the Indians. It is not the duty of the civil agent, nor has he tho power to disarm and dismount; and the fact that these Indians had arms is certainly not the fault of the agent, as hus been charged, but the blame rests elsewhere. ‘The statements to which this letter is a reply in de- tail are of the same character as the unfounded anser- tions put forth almost daily in regard to the adminin- tration of Indian affairs, and I would respectfully submit whether it would not be proper for officers in government rervice to ascertain the fucts in each and every case before making unwarranted publications, Ihaye the honor to be your obedient servant, £.

Supervising Architect of the Capitol Clark intends at an early date to light the Capitol by wems of an improved electric light, invented by Mr, Kogers, the electrician of the buiiding, thus doing away with the old cumbersome system of yas lights, lated that four of Rogers’ machines ply iluminaie the Hull of Representatives, | which service is now done by 18%) gas jets. ‘The cost of thie new Light will be abou! ten conts an hour. Mr. Rogers’ machine has been fully tested and found satinfactory. Its principal featnres are the placing of two long slender carbon points inside simall tubes, converging ut an angle of about forty-iive degree, om the negative aud two on the posi- tive pole, of course opposite to each other. A cgnstant distance between them is maintaine] by a gearing of weights and pulleys, while the contact of | the neparate points in each set during the combus- tion'prevents the formation of the concave “cap” on the positive and the stalagmite on the negative pole, thus insuring a steady, non-Jickcring even light of any duration that is Cesirel, To obviate the ‘glaring brillianey of tho electric light Architect Clark will cause opal tinted glass frames to enclose the machines, Opal tinted gla will not only give a yellowish tiage to the iumination but, as it has the property of p venting the passage of the chemical rays, will relieve tho sensation of apparent heat that bas hitherto becn found objectionable in au inionse Light oz « collection of lights. It is somewhat singular that an English- man has invented precisely the same machino ae Togors, and at the sume time, it having been patented in Great Britain just about the period of Rogers’ in this,country.
