See NO MON Renewing the Commercial Ties Between European Nations. [BY CABLE TO THE HERALD.] Lonpon, Dec. 15, 1878, The Paris newspapers report that Count Schouval- off’s accession to the office of Minister of the Interior will mark the beginning of a new régime, giving effect to a constitution which the Czar instructed Count Schouyaloff, while at Livadia, to draw up. The above seems to agree with the Berlin despatch to the Post, snnouncing that the Czar proposes to appoint a col- lectively responsible Cubinet. ‘THE CESNOLA OUTRAGE. In the Honse of Commons on Friday night, Mr. Bourke, Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs, replying to Sir Charles Dilke, suid that a question had been put quite recently by a foreign government respect ing the judicial arrangements in Cyprus. It is un- derstood that this refers to a question addressed by the United States to the British government, growing out’ of the arrest of Major Cesnola for making ex- cavations in the island of Cyprus. CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME. ‘When Sir Stafford Northcote, Chancellor of the Ex- chequer, gave notice in the House of Commons on Friday of his motion for a grant of money by Parlia- ment in aid of the distressed people in the Rhodope Mountains, Mr. Anderson (liberal), member for Glas gow, remarking on the silence of the opposition leaders, gave notice of an&mendment to Sir Stafford Northcote’s motion, that it is inexpedient, consider- ing the prevailing distress in Great Britain, that the taxpayers’ money should be devoted to the relief of the people of the Rhodope district, and that such re- lief should be left to yoluntary efforts. ‘The London correspondent of the Manchester Guardian expresses the belief that the Marquis of Hartington will prob- ably assume Mr. Anderson's place, in order to make tho opposition official and thereby raise a debate on the policy of the government with reference to Turkey. FRANCE THE FRIEND OF GREECE. In the French Chamber of Deputies, at Versailles, yesterday, Count de Goutaut-Biron questioned the government respecting the Treaty of Berlin. M. Waddington, Minister of Foreign Affairs, defended his conduct at the Congress, where he ‘ avoided compromising French neutrality or entering upon any binding engagements. He had supported Greece because that was the traditional policy of France. There would be united action of Europe in behalf of Greece on the initiative being taken by France. » 4 REV. MR. BELL'S LIBEL SUIT. “The magistrates of Nottingham have committed Mr. Stevenson, licitor, and Rev. Richard Griffiths, ® Baptist minister, “for trial on the charge of libelling Rev, Frederick Bell, formerly of Brooklyn, N. Y., by circulating a handbill charging him with immoral conduct with aservant in a house where he was a guest. INTERNATIONAL COMMERCE. The commercial treaty between Austria and Ger- many has been renewed for another year, and the commercial treaty between Austria and Italy is also likely to be renewed. Thus the threatened cus- toms wars are averted. The new Swiss federal tariff, now under discussion in the National Assem- bly, is said to be of a reactionary and protectionist character. The ad valorem duties in many instances are increased five to forty per cent, and the specific duties are increased thirty to 100 francs per 100 kilo- grams. CABLE NOTES. Signor Cairoli, who was requested by the King of Italy to form a new Cabinet, has declined the task. ‘The leading editorial article in yesterday's Pall Mall Gazette says that the government's majority in the House of Commons on Friday was unexpectedly large. The London correspondent of the Edinburgh Scotsman, writing before the division in the House of Commons on Friday night, on Mr. Whitbread’s mo- tion, says ‘The liberals expect that the govern- ment’s majority will be ucarer seventy than 100.” ‘The Governor of the Cape Colony, Sir Bartle Frere, has sent an ultimatum to Cattywayo, the Zulu King. An answer is expected daily. The Emperor Francis Joseph, has invited General Philippovich to come and visit him at Castle Buda. ‘The weather was cold yesterday. There was much snow in the Northern counties of England and in various parts of Europe. After three days’ stormy debates, wherein M. Ap- ponyi severely criticised the policy of the govern- ment, the Hungarian Delegation voted yesterday, by 8 large majority, 20,000,000 florins for occupation ex- penses of 1879.

[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.] Orrawa, Ont., Dec, 14, 1878, Acablegram was received yesterday morning by the Prince-s Louise that the Princess Alice’s condi- tion was worse, but a later despatch announced that she was improving. Princess Louise was therefore greatly affected at the announcement of her sister's death this morning. All the receptions and festivities at Rideau Hall have been suspended, Flags that only a little more than a week ago floated to honor the ar- rival of the Princess Louise now mournfully hang at halt-mast to show the general sorrow felt at the death of the Grand Duchess of Hesse-Darmstadt, No steps have been taken as yet by the Governor General anent the death of the Princess, as orders from England are expected, SYMPATHY THROUGHOUT THE DOMINION. ‘Yononro, Ont., Dee, 14, 1878. The announcement of the death of Princess Alice was received throughout the Dominion with pro- found sorrow, Earnest sympathy is expressed on all sides for Her Majesty and her daughter, who has lately made Canada her home, the Princess Louise. AT MONTREAL. MontRea, Dee, 14, 1878. There was deep sorrow on receipt of the news of the death of Princess Alice. Flags were displayed at half-mast on all the public buildings, and expressions of sympathy were heard on all sides for the Queen, The Superior Court adjourned out of respect for the memory of the dece: SKETCH OF PRINCESS ALICE MAUD MARY, GRAND DUCHESS OF HESSE-DARMSTADT, The Grand Duchess of Hesse-Darmstadt, better known as the Princess Alice of Great Britain, was the second daughter of Queen Victoria. It will be remembered that the Grand Duke Louis and nearly the whole of his family were prostrated by this diseasc, from which the youngest child of the late Grand Duchess, the Princess Marie Victoria, died a few days ago, aged four years and six months. The condition of the Grand Duchess first became criti- cal about the 10th inst., since which date the bulletins of her health became daily more and more alarming. The Queen, whoso own health now in- spires serious anxiety, was very much affected by the loss of the little Princess, who was one of her chief favorites among her grandchildren, and upon the news of the critical condition of her danghter would have hastened to her bedside but that her medical adviser deemed it dangerous to take such astep. She, however, despatched to Darmstadt Sir William Jenner, the eminent physician, to whose skill the recovery of the Prince of Wales in 1872 was attributed, and thus procured for her dying daughter all the alleviation possible under the circumstances, On Friday morning the bulletins reported a slightly favorable change in her symptoins, the fever having somewhat abated, but it returned toward night, and by ten o'clock she became unconscious, her pulse ran up to 140 and breathing ceased. The telegrams published in yesterday's Henaxp left little hope of a favorable result, and at an carly hour yesterday morning the cable announced that all was over. She had expressed an ardent wish to sce her mother, to whom she was fondly aud devotedly attached, but that comfort was, unfortunatoly, impracticable. "The deceased Princess, Alice Maud Mary, was the second daughter and third child of the late Prince Consort Albert (Albrecht), of Saxe Coburg Gotha, and of Alexandrina Victoria, Queen of Great Britain and Ireland and Empress of Indis. She was born at Windsor Castle April 25, 1843, and » few days later the happy mother wrote as follows to her uncle, King Leopold :— : Our little baby is to be called Alice (an old En; lish name) and the other names are to, be Maud (an- other old English name) and Mary, a8 she was born on Aunt Gloucester's birthday. The sponsors are to be the King of Hanover, Ernestus Primus, ye Prin- cess Sophia Matilda and Feodore, and the christening is to be on the 2d of June. ‘The King of Hanover, it is chronicled, arrived too late to be present at the ceremony, which, neverthe- less, as the Queen duly reported to her uncle, ‘went off very brilliantly. Nothing could be more anstindig, and little Alice behaved extremely well.” The Prin- cous Alice seems to have been devoted from her cradle to the especial affection of the people of England, us her elder brother was to the Principality or Wales, the Duke of Edinburgh to Scotland and the Duke of Connaught to Ireland. At all events, she soon be- came especially dear to the English subjects of Her ty, and her fair, sweet face was familiar in nearly every village in England. ‘The late Princess wax perhaps the best known and loved of all the daughters of the Empress-Queen from the tender gare which sho lavished upon her father during his last illness, “her name becoming synonymous with s father’s farewell and a mother's consolation.” She was also of all the rere children the one who moat resembled her mother both in per- son and character. Her elder sister, now the Crown Princess of Germany, having been carly destined and trained for her brilliant marriage, and the Prince of Wales being notably the nation’s ward, Princess Alice was the first of the children of the Emprcss-Queen in whom the royal mother could fully realize a sonse of personal maternal ownership, and it was, perhaps, for this reason, aided by an especially toctionate disposition, that she became the fayorite of or parents and ultimately of the whole British in so far as personal qualities were ever al- 1 to outweigh the claims of pri geniture. The “Memoirs of the Prince fort,” so large a portion of which is made up of the private correspondence and journals ot the royal parents, bear amplo testimony to the affectionate fondness with whicn Princess Alice was regarded by them from her infancy. Of the particu. lars of her education we have as yet no accurate in- formation, but it is known that she was an apt scholar in all the usual branches of princely study, and was particularly accom. plished in instrumental music, ‘At the time of the death of her father, the Prince Consort Albert, which occurred on Saturday, Decem- ber 14, 1861, just seyenteen years before her own death and on the same day of the week, Princess ‘Alice wax the member of the royal family who, next to the Queen herself, excited universal sympathy, mixed with respect and admiration. During the long, weary days of watching at her tather's bedside she was his chosen attendant, companion and confidant, ‘and seemed to be endowed with a preternatural calmness and fortitude. Her father used to speak with her openly of his dying condition and of his desires for the future, even when he did not deem it expedient to speak with the same certitude of impending death: to the Queen herself. Day by day she sat at his bedside, nuerving herself to look cheer- ful, and whenever the agitation of the mo- ment proved too strong for her emotions she would repress her tears until she could gain the quietnde of her own apartments. All this time it was her trying task to dixplay her usual cheerfulness to her royal other, to brothers and sisters, and when all er it fell to her lot to be the chief stay and * solation to the widowed Queen, These circumstance became well known and were not readily forgotten by the loyal people of Great Britain, who Knew, more- over, that that dark winter of monrning was the pertod of all others which ht naturally to have been filled with joy as the crowning season of her life. It was, in fact, no secret that for some months before the death of Prince Albert she nad become engaged to her second cousin, Prince Friedrich Wil- heim Ludwig Karl, gencrally known in England as Prince Louis of Hesse, now the Grand Duke of Hexse- Darmstadt under the title of Ludwig IV, The mar- riage was one highly approved by both her parents, and, though not uninfluenced by the usual political considerations, Was chiefly one of affection. “Her in- tended husband was six years her senior, having been born September 12, 1837, and was the cldest son and heir apparent of Grand Duke Karl Ludwig Wilhelm, who died neg hee (June 13, 1877), his mother being a Catholic princess, Mathilde, daughter ot King Ludwig L. of Bavaria, » murriage, first postponed in consequence of the deuth of Prince Xibert, was a second lime postponed on account of the death of Prince Louis’ mother, which occurred in April, 1862, and still, farther delayed by the danger- ous illness’ of the King of the Belgians. previously her sister, Vict #8 Royal, “the Rose of England, Hed, was wedded iu royal state, her fs away and the holiday ‘cheers wds bidding her Godspeed, rent was the Princess Alice's bridal day! ‘Tho ceremony was privately pertormed at Her Majesty's turine residence, Osborne, Ise of Wight, by the Archbishop of York, on a day snatched from mourn- ing, With not @ color and searco a shade of brighter hue to yurk the exception to the unit ‘Phere was no crowd ot privileged « train of bridesmaids, but such moderate ana needful attendance as would be ht fit forthe most re- tiring couple in some private walk of life, ‘There was, however, one bright side, There was not that utter separation which struck all «0 pain- fully when the Princess Royal left her home for the society of strangers and foreigners. ‘The position of the Prince was not atch as to compel his residence in his paternal dominions, and it was with general satisfaction that it was tound the happy couple ‘would take up their abode in England. | They had a villa residence on the Ivle of Wight, not far from the favorite dwelling place of the Prin- cess in earlier life, and there they much of their time for several years in the society of the Queen, The Princess thus remained fully identified with the land of her birth, led @ happy married life and was blessed with seven children, five girls and two boys. ‘The cldest son, Prince Ernest Ludwig Karl Albrecht, was born November 25, 1868, and is conse- quently now ten years of age. ‘The younger son, Friedrich Wilhelm August Vietos Leopold LD, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1878—QUADRUPLE SH killed Ludwig, born October 7, 1870, was accidentally ‘The surviv- by fi from a wiudow May 27, 1873, ing Princesses are Victoria Marie, born at Windsor Castle, Alexandra Louise Alice, born at Bessungen, Noyem- ber Ir Inv: Irene Marie’ Louise Anua, born at Dari- stadt, July 11, 1466, and Victoria Alice Helene Louise, born dune 5, 1872; the youngest of all, Marie Victoria Feodore Leopoldine, born May 24, 1874, having’died of diphtheria a few days before her mother, as before mentioned, ’ The Princess Alice made herself popular in Ger- many by her activity in promoting hospital arrange- ments during the Frauco-German war, when she was a constant visitor at the “Alice Hospital” at Darm- stadt, and President of the "Alice Frauenyerein,” or womun's association for charitable purposes, afiliated to the Berlin “Vaterlandischen Verein.” Her husband, now the Grand Duke, way a titular lieutenant general in the German army and colonel of a regiment of Prussian hussars, and served in the late Franco-Ger- man war with the actual rank of captain in the First regiment of the Prussian Guard, He received the title of Royal Highness and the Knighthood of the Garter from Queen Victoria on his marriage in 1862, along with a dowry of £30,000, and a Parlimentary rant of £6,000 per annum was settled upon the rincess. ‘The coincidence of her death on the anniversary of the death of Prince Albert, when most of the royal family were assembled at Windsor Custle for the cus- tomury memorial services, attracts much attention.

[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.} Synacuse, N. ¥., Dec, 14, 1878, The joint committee of the State Board of Char- ities and the Board of Supervisors spent all day at the Poorhouse, at Onondaga Hill, investigating the manner of conducting that institution. The wit- nesses examined were Mr. Loomis, Superintendent of the Poor; Mr. Sadler, kecper of the house; Mr. Sadler's wife, and a farm hand named Hilton. Their examination elicited nothing very important. Both Mr. Loomis and Mr. Sadler admitted the confinement of. insane Pa cong in the dark basement cells, but deni that they were ever left in filth for any length of time. Hilton, the farm hand, who testified that he had free access to the Poorhouse and asylum, corroborated the statements of his superiors. He also went so far as to state that no violence, or harsh, profane or vulgar language, was ever used toward the insane = expe- rience of eight years in the service. nid that women had been incarcerated in the cells, but that | they had never been kept there over night.

DUTCHESS COUNTY PAUPERS. DISGRACEFUL CONDITION OF THE COUNTY POOR- HOUSE, PoveHKEErsie, Dec. 14, 1878, The Board of Supervisors of Dutchess county have just returned from an official visit to the County Almshouse, located in the town of Washington, near the little hamlet of Millbrook, A thorough examin» tion of the institution has revealed the fact that it is not only @ disgrace to the rich county in which it is located, but to humanity as well. The surroundings are of a revolting character, a fact fully sustained in reports and letters from members of sub-committees of the State Boatd of Charitics. There are two build- ings. The main one of wood, three stories high, is in a dilapidated condition. In it are 114 persons, in- cluding ten children, the youngest child being a week old and the next youngest three months, and there is a little blind b about cleven, Some of the rooms eight or ten persons, and the odor permeating every apartment and hall- way is sickening. Ip the garret are thirty-three beds and thirty-three inmates, and there are only two small windows in the room. At night a solitary candlestick, on a piece of iron pipe, is the only light allowed. ‘The stuirway leading from the garret to the floor below is not over two teet wid i if a fire should break out below the stairs the roasting of the arret inmates would be insured. In fact, the whole Suilding is a tinder box, and there is an utter lack of fire escapes. The ventilation of the building has been entirely neglected, rendering the situstion almost intolerable. Added to the above facts is another of # most outrageous character—to wit, there iano place on the premises in which to place the sick, They cannot be separated from the well, but must lie where sickness finds them, whether the disease be contagions or not. THE INSANE DEPARTMENT. But the most disgraceful part of the property is the insane building. It is of frame, two low stories, thirty-six fect long and twenty-four feet wide. It contains about twenty wooden cells, eight feet by ten, and in this small building are sane inmates ! If the odor in the main building is sickening the stench in the insane building is simply horrible, and tho sights witnessed there yesterday have roused the indignation of some of the county rulers. To be sure, there are only afew of the sixty.insane and some ot them only partially so, but that makes the matter worse, for sane and insane are packed together. Ono of the inmates is a bright looking boy with a really handsome face. He was compelled to go to the Poor- house because of a sprained aukle. He is a constant reader and ix very intelligent and cleanly, but he is hile away his hours in the loathsome hole attering of the insane and breathing with y breath the toulest of air. Altogether there are 174 inmates in the two build- ings, when the real capacity of both cribs is not over GEORGIA'S NEW BONDS. .4 POPULAB FOUR PER CENT LOAN TO BE ISSUED NEXT MONTH. [Bx TELEORAPg TO THE HERALD.) AtLanta, Dee, 14, 1878, The most important bill of the closed sessién of the Legislature was in relation to the issue of a halt million of tour per cent bonds. These bonds, to be known as the Garrard bonds, from the name of the author, will be in denominations of $6 to $100, They are intended to give the makses of the people a hance for a safe, local, Incrative investment, that can made with the weekly savings of laborers, clerks, & Their size will be a novel feature. They will bo precisely the size of a five dollar greenback bill, with the coupons tiny and snug on the lower edge of the bond, ‘The smallness of their size and denomination will cause them to be largely used in commercial transactions, 4d will thus enlarge the State éur- reney without bg mires | it. The bonds will run six years and cannot be sold at less than par. ‘This is the first attempt of a Southern State to float bonds at as low arate as four per cent; but itisalready ascertained that these bonds will go rapidly, Neark the whole loan has already been beapoken. They will ‘be issued in the month of January, t tthe Nutting bonds, which will fall due on February 1. It is nota- ble that these bonds will supplant a series of eight percents, thus saving just one balf of the interest account. If this issue of half a million is promptly taken at par the Legislature will issue another halt million in July to retire seven per cents with. It is the opinion of the Treasurer, bankers and finance committees that tho interest of the State debt of over $9,000,000, now averaging a trifle over seven per cent, mn be reduced to tour per cent. Of course nota dolar of increase will be made to the bonded debt. The bonds issued will be used exclusively in retiring falling due bonds or purchasing outstanding bonds, ‘The Vill paswed by a vote of 6 to 1, Governor Colquitt signed it to-day, . orders. | speetor at the: Nortolk Navy Yard and ordered to set- CAPTURED BY INDIANS. Remarkable Adventures of an Jowa Woman and Her Son. EMIGRANTS MASSACRED Mre. Jones Made a Slave to a Yankton Chief. A History for the Consideration of the Interior Department. ° (BY TELEGRAPH To THE HERALD.] Oana, Neb,, Dees 14, 1878. Deep interest is taken here to-day in the narrative of Mrs. Charles Jones, of Washington ‘county, Iowa, who arrived with her son last night, arid whose’story of. suffering on the plains, with the -astonishing revelations regarding certain Indians of the Yankton agenoy, has few parallels in frontier history. Mrs. Joes und her son, it is believed, are the sole sur- vivors of a party of twelve emigrants who left Wash- ington county lust February for the Yellowstone Valley, They reawhel Fort Kearney about March 1, 1878, and when a ‘ew days out from there, in the river bottom, they were surrounded by party of seventy Indians, William Brown, Joshua Brown and Joseph Hyatt, a brother of Mrs. Joues, constituting the men of the party, were instantly shot dead. Al the others were taken into captivity. All but Mrs. Jones and her son disappeared, and, as she believes, were massacred, MADE A SLAVE 10 THE CHIEF, She was made a slave to the chief named Yankton, cooking, picking berries and performing other menial offices, She was never allowed to meet or talk with her son. Her clothes were taken from her and she was allowed only blanket and moccasins. The camp Was moved often, always northward. The war- riors several times left the party and returned with clothing and plunder, evidently taken from murdered whites, The interpreter who was with the party, named Ginnes, stated that he was captared from a party of emigrants when he was only eleven years old, and he is now forty. He adopted their life, became a Cath- olic and was educated at a Jesuit college. He told Mrs. Jones that the party were chiefly Yanktons, from the Yankton agency, but were a few from Red Cloud and Spotted Tail agencies. They were out al- ways during summer aud returned to the agencies in the winter. - MURDERERS SHELTERED ALT THE AGENCIES, ‘Their slaves are kept outside the agencies in con- cealment. Other female white slaves in the party told her, through the interpreter, that their friends had been murdered, and as they had no homes they did not desire to escape. Young Jones, who is aged fifteen, became a favorite and was kindly treated. At the expiration of two months they reached the neigh- borhood of a small village in Northern Nebraska, where the Indians procured liquor, and they all be- came drunk. That night Mrs. Jones escaped, having on ouly a regged blanket and one moccasin, She travelled south, being guided in her course by the stars, and subsisting for many days on raw arti- chokes: After five or six days she met occasional emigrant wagons moving northward, and Mrs. Jones was given adress. She begged her way through the State, reaching her old home in Iowa the last day of June, A DRAVE AND AFFECTIONATE MOTHER, Here she procured a small sum of money. She be- came alarmed at the uncertainty of her son's fate and returned to Central Nebraska, where she travelled from place to place, watching for emigrants from the iorth and living with farmers. At the expiration of many weeks, sick and disheartened, she again started eastward. One day last October, while walking through Kearney, she met an emaciated lad, whom she recognized as her son, who had justcome in from @ long and terrible journey. Sheltered by James Car- michael, a farmer, she watched at her son’s bedside during @ long illness. When the boy had partially recovered they both started east on foot, stopping with farmers and making slow progress on account of their enfeebled condition. THE STORY TO BE INVESTIGATED. Citizens here collected some money and sent both home this morning. Every detail of the above story is confirmed. The naked bodies of three murdered men were found last March on the plains north of Kearney, but the murders were supposed to be the work of tramps. Men here from the agencies are preparing to investigate the matter and express the opinion that many of the agency Indians have kept up the systematic murder of settlers during the sum- mer and successfully concealing their crime. At the Yankton agency there will be an immediate investiga- tion and the identity of the Indians secured if possible. Pasa COLORED BULLDOZING.
