Tho Viceroy of India telegraphs that reports are in circulation to the effect that Yakoob Khan has sent large detachments of troops to Khurd- Cabul and Khak-i-Tezin,, two towns on the road to Jellalubad. The significance of this movement would seem to be that the Ameer is going to meet his foes rather than wait for the siege of Cabul. The point nearest the invaders, Khak-i-Tezin, is about twenty-eight miles from the capi- tol. It is well situated for defence. Khurd Cabal is nine miles nearer the seat of government. . The Viceroy’s despatch wilds that Generals Browne and Roberts are con- centrating their forees at advanced points.

' The prediction cabled by the Jirnatp ‘Weather Bureau on the 17th, stating that “a disturbance will arrive on the British, affecting the French coasts, between the 21st and 23d, attended by snow, rain and southeast, bucking to northwest gales,” has been completely fulfilled by the arrival of a severe stomn on the coasts of Ireland and = Eng- id. For some time past the weather been very unsettled over the United King- dom, owing to the influence of the storm-centre which passed over Central Western Europe on the 19th, but yesterday morning the weather became very much disturbed by the rapid ap- proach of a storm from the west. The winds, that were blowing generally from the north, changed suddenly to the east and increased in force to a strong gale on the western coast of Ireland, As the day advanced the storm ex- tended over England, and gales with terrific squalls at intervals prevailed. Snow accom- Panied the storm in all the districts except in the vicinity of Oxford, where rain fell. Hail storms have occurged in many districts through- out England. In London snow has commenced \ falling and the weather has grown intensely cold. HEAVY WEATHER AT SEA, The. steamer Colina, which arrived at Greo- nock to-day, encountered a fearful westerly gale on the 18th, in which her boats were smashed to atoms and a man was carried over- board by a heavy sea. The reports from the ‘western coast stations show that ulthough the storm has not abated very much it is passing rapidly toward Central Europe. ‘The report from Holyhead states that a fresh east-southeast gale is blowing, with misty weather and a pressure of 29.97 inches, At Scilly the weather is dull; at Plymouth overcast, the pressure being 29.80 inches, and at Lizard a strong northeast wind, with cloudy weather, prevails.

FRENCH COMMERCIAL TREATIES, A deputation from the Free Trade Chambers of Commerce has waited on M. Waddington, President of the Council. He was less aftinna- tive in the free-trade sense than M. Tirard, Min- ister of Commerce, and in adverting to American competition rather sought to justify the appre- hensions of the protectionists on the subject of free trade. The delegates, however, pointing out that the economic attitude of America has been unchanged since 1873 and 1875, when the ex- isting treaties of commerce were discussed, modified or confirmed, M, Waddington did not insist, but hastened to declare that the govern- inent was favorable to treaties of commerce and free trade, and would do its utmost to solve the economic questions in a liberal und farsighted spirit.

A detailed report of the meeting of weavers at Blackburn, on Saturday, shows the existence of great excitement and a strong party in favor of a strike. Mr. Whalloy, the Secretary of the Weavers’ Union for Blackburn, reported that two-thirds of tho masters had notices of a five per cent reduation of wages, but tha: the masters were less unanimous than they were before the strike and lockout of 1878. Representatives jof the opera- tives of Church, Oswaldtwistle, Harwood, Padiham, Clitherve, Rishton, Bamberbri and Burnley next gave rts, to the effect that the general feeling in their districts favored submission until a favorable opportunity arose to recover the reduction. ‘A motion was then submitted in favor of the ac- ceptance of a five per cent reduction, on the under- standing that the whole of the fifteen cent reduc- tion shall be restored as soon as por le. An amend- ment in favor of resistance by # strike if necessary met with much support. A disorderly sceno fol- lowed. The proposition for a strike was repeatedly cheered and the opponents thereof hooted down.

An interview with thecelebrated Hyacinthe Loyson, better known as Pere Hyucinthe, was published in Sunday’s Henatp. In that interview Father Hya- cinthe stated his great designs and vast ambitions for the French Catholic Church. What he desired was “reform within the Itoman Church and not out of it.” Unfortunately, however, the French bishops of the Roman Catholic Church did not view the mat- ter in the same light as M. Loyson, and refused him recognition, Ho therefore asked provisional Episcopal aid, such as ordination and confirmation from the English Church, He might have been furnished with such aid by the Greek or Old Catholic churches of Switz erland, Germany or Utrecht, but it was more convenient to ask it of the English Church, An interview with -Mr. Cornelius Roosevelt followed that with Pare Hyactuthe, in which the gentleman mentions as parties to whom subscriptions in aid of Father Hyacintho's great undertaking may be sent, Bishops Stevens, of Philadelphia; Doane, of Albany; Littlejohn, of Long Island, ‘and Mr. Hilborne L. Roosevelt, of West Eighteenth street, ‘Phe bishops mentioned are of the Protestant Epis- copal denomination. WHAT BISHOP LITTLEJOHN Says. Bishop Abraham N. Littlejohn, of Long Island, was visited eesagelpig Orbea Mea vy a Henatp senarigy: On showing the Bishop the statement made by Mr. Rooxevelt that’ donations for Pare Hyacinthe's thurch might be sent to him, Bishop Little- jobn smiled and said, ‘his is the first intimation I have had f it, I am personally ac- yhainted with Pere Hyacinthe, but haye had no com- inunication with him on the subject. Anything of that kind would. probably purely voluntary. ‘there might be something done in reference to the mutter after Easter, A prominent layman of New York will probably initiate a movement ia that direetion.” “Do you refer to Mr. the writer. “On, no,” answered the Bishop; “I cannot at pres- ent give you his name, ‘That is one of the jhings I am not at liberty to mention.” ‘The writer next inquired 2a to what the Bishop thought of the probabilities of the success of the movement in France. “That is a very problematical thing,” answered, the Bishop, laughing. “Will any collections be taken up in the churches here to aid Pére Hyacinthe?” “There might be something of that kind done after Easter,” replied Bishop Littlejohn, “but at present Ican say nothing about it. If you_ will call on me a few weeks later perhaps I will be able to tell you something. The writer next visited Mr. Hilbourn R.

Roosevelt's brother?” asked WHAT BISHOP DOANE, OF ALBANY, ENOWS OF THE MOVEMENT—THE GIST OF PERE HYA- CYNTHE’S IDEAS. [BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.]° ALbaNy, March 24, 1879, Your correspondent called upon Bishop Doane, of the Episcopalian Diocese of Albany, to-night, to learn his views in relation to Father Hyacinthe and the Old Catholic movement in France. “I read the article in the Henaup of yesterday with gread pleasure and interest,” said the Bishop. “It is @ satisfactory and sufficient statement of the case." * “He refers to yourself in very kindly tezms, Bishop,” remarked the writer. ‘I suppose you saw a good deal of him when he was over here?” “Not so much as I did while abroad. I then met him frequently. Ihave a great admiration and af- tection for M. Loyson, the strongest confidence in his high and holy aims, his great powers, not only as 2 pulpit orator but as a master of Christian philosophy, and in his sound- ness in the faith as a Catholic, rather rimitive than Anglican, or Gallican, and in no sense man. He is an ardent lover of his country. He hasnot perhaps the coolness of an organizer and ad- ministrator, but ‘he has the clearness of a thorough theologian, combining in a high degree the per- suasion of an orator with logical discrimina- tion. He is abreast of the political and social questions of the day. His conferences of a year are full of masterly discussions, now of one and now of another phase of truth—ecclesi- astical, theological, moral, social, political. And he has the rare gift, for a leader of personal ne gg ge of inspiring enthusiasm, with all of whi he is as modest and simple as and on fire with zeal and eelf-consecration.” “To what do you attribute the intense opposition to him chat exjsts in Frauce?”” THE IDEA OF A REUNION OF THE CHURCHES, «That is very natural. Bercier and Pussence, Prot- estant ministers, have had the magnanimity to avow their sympathy with him, and many priests of the Roman Church will join him when they radicals hato can. ultramontanes and him, of course, but the movement no lon attracts only the coarse ridicule of fhe Fou, but the more thoughtful and discrimin- ating attention of L’Kvénement, and is drawing not curjpus crowds of lookers on but an earnest body of adherents supporters. The opposition in Eng- land is a curious combination of English insularity, and of the enthusiasm of tho establishment which thinks that all the English Church should do is to take care of Englishmen, and of a sentimental dream about union with Rome and what is called a cirriferous reunion of Christendom. This might have been poasible once, but Vaticanism has made it impossible. It was bad enough when revelation was covered up by traditions, but when even tradition is thrown overboard and the le given to history such a union is impossible.” “You think Rome is beyond the reach of reforma- tion, then?” “Rome must be reformed from within. This is Loyson’s idea, He wants to un-Romanize France. He believes in the historic and catholic idea of national churches, united in the faith, in intercommanion under one head, Jesus Christ. He holds to the Episco) as the centre of unity. There is no doubt M. Dar- boy had great sympathy with him; so hed ‘other bishops of the Roman Communion, who have been silenced into submiasion, but not converted into agreement with the Vatican. He holds that nothing can be done without the Episcopate, and being unable to get episcopal cares in Francs he has ap- led to the Anglo-American biggies ein The imate of Scotland, ac s ly a the authority of a commission sree at the last Lambeth Confer. ence, has offered him ‘provisional oversight.’ ” FUNCTIONS OF BISHOPS, ou believe that bishops, then, can exorcise their functions outside of their own dioceses?” “Their right to do so under the pressure of cir cumstances is abundantly sustai: by (neta ‘The motto “here is but one bishopric in Church and a bishop has an undivided portion of it’ is the learned Bingham in his ‘Anti- quities.’ He writes as follows :— “ ‘For the better understanding the Church’s prac- Yico on this point I shall illustrate it in two or three jcular instances. It was @ rule in the primitive Church that no bishop should ordain in another's diocese without his leave, and though this was @ sort of confinement of the episcopal power to a single diocese, yet for order's sako it was genorally observed. Lut then it might happen that in somo cases there might be a necessity to tb otherwise, as in case the bishop of any dioccse wes turned heretic, and would ordain nono but heretical clergy, and prosecute and drive away the orthodox. In that case any Catholic bishop, a8 being @ bishop of the Univers«l Church, was authorized to ordaiu orthodox men in such a diocese, though contrary to the common rule, because this. was Ma og | for the preservation of tho faith, which is the supreme rule of all, and therefore that other rule must had way to this superior obligation. Upon this account, when the Church was in danger of being overrun with Arianism the great Athanasius, as he returned from his exile, made no Fate to ordain in several cities as he went along, though they were not ia his own diocese. ¥XAMPLES PROM SYRIA AND PALESTINE, And the famous Ensebius, of Samosa, did tho like in the time of the Arian persecution, under Valens. ‘Theodoret says ho went nt all Pheenicia and Palestine in a soldter's habit, ordaining presby- ters and deacons and setting in order whatever he found wanting in the churches. He ordained bishops also in Syria and Silicia and other § es whose names Theodoret has recorded. Now, all this was contrary to the common rules, but the necessi- ties of the Church roquired it and that gave them authority in such # case to exert their power and act as hishops of the whole Catholic Church, Epiphanius made use of the same power and privilege in a like caso, ordaining Paulinus, St. Jerome's brother, first deacon and then presbyter in a monastery, out of his own dlocese, in Valestine, against which, when some of his adversaries: objected that it was done contrary to canon, he vindi- cated his practice upom the strength of this principle, that, in cases of pressing necessity, such as his was, where the interest of God was to be served every bishop had port, to act in any part of the Church ; for though all bishops had their particular churches to officiate in, and were not ordinerily to exceed their own bounds, yet the love of Christ was a rule above all, and therefore mon were not to consider barely the thing that was done, but the circumstances of tho action, the time, the sianner, the persons for whose sal and the end for which it was done, Thus Epiphanias: apologizes for the exercise of his episcopal power in tho diocese of another man. Naw, from all this it appears that evéry bishop Was as much an universal bishop and had as much the care of the whole arch as the Bishop of Rome himaelf, there being no acts of the episcopal oflice which thoy could not perform in part of the world when peed required without a dispensation as well as he. All that he enjoyed above others was only tho rights of a metropolitan or a patriarch, agd ‘these confined by the cauous to a certain district,’ SDAY, MAROUH 25, 1879.—TRIPLE SHEET. ELOPEMENT EXTRAORDINARY THE DAUGHTER OF GOVERNOR HUBBARD, OF CONNECTICUT, BLOPES WITH HER F\TiER'S COACHMAN- SKETCH OF THE IMPRUDENT PAIR—WHAT THE GOSSIPS SAID AND ARE SAXING. [ex TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.) Harrroxp, Conn., March 24, 1879, Hartford’s best circles were shocked to-day by the announcement of the elopement of the youngest | daughter of ex-Governor Richard D. Hubbard | with her father’s coachman, In some re- | spects the affair possesses romantic features, The man in the case is Frederick Shepard, a rather fine appearing young tellow of twenty-tive,of Ametican parentage, and, according to statements of those who know hit, of fair reputation. He has been in the employ of Goyernor Hubbard for five or six mouths, THE YOUNG LaDx. ‘The heroine in the case is the Governor's youngest daughter, Nellie, a pretty blonde of nineteen, highly educated and of fascinating manuers, Few had sus- pected any relations toward young Shepard other than might properly exist toward a trusted employé of her father, but some of the gossips noted with sus- Picion the frequency of their horseback rides and that she was often riding alone with him ina buggy. None of these s@spicions were communicated to the family and so circumspect were the couple that within the Governor's household they never gave the slightest hint of the union toward which they were drifting. In one respect, ut least, young Shepard acted honorably; having won Miss Neilie's affections he married her legally.. The weddlng oc- curred on the lth inst. The young lady went to Now Haven, ostensibly to visit friends, and on reach- ing there wont by the canal road northward to West- fiold, Mass., where her lover joined her. ELOPED WITH HER HUSBAND, 'The marriage took place either there or in Spring- field, accounts differing on this point, Both re- turned to Hartford immodiately, and concealed their secret, On Friday night last Nellie mysteri- ously disappeared from home, and on Saturday night it was learned she had left Hartford by train, accompanied by her husband, Searceiy lad this news bad time to impress itself on the minds of the distressed family when a@ brother of young Shepard cailed at the house and exhibited to Goy- ernor Hubbard the marriage certificate. While this was in one sense a relief, in another {t was mortify- ing, for it was clear proof the erring daughter gone too tar to warrant any, measures to return her to her family. The latter ‘have no definite information up to to-night of the whereabouts of thecouple. They are reported to be in New Haven or New York, and it is believed that the latter report is correct, as the young lady is so well known in the former city her appearance on the street would lead to immediate detection. GOVERNOR HUBBARD APFLICTRD. Governor Hubbard is prostrated with grief, and has not left the house since his daughter’s act was discovered. His friends assert that he will positively refuse all advances toward a re- conciliation. Such advances he has every reason to anticipate will be made, tor Nellie was his favorite daughter and young Shepard naturally based his hopes on this, and that his father-in-law would go further and make some provision for the support ot himself and his bride. It is stated teat alates from Nellie to her mother has been found, but, it true, the contents have becu kept a family secret. For years no affair has created a greater sensation than this. Late Jast night, when it was first whis- pered about, it was regarded as a mere story, un- worthy of belicf; but facts have been ually coming to light to-day and to-night. It is the subject of conversation everywhere, although at the earnest request of Governor Hubbard's friends tho local newspapers had refrained from publishing even the slightest allusion to it. Thero is much differ- ence-of opinion as to the possible finale of the affair, but somo of the friends of the family assert to-night that there are possibilities of a reconciliation through the intercession of the ladies of the family, and in view of the facts that the parties not only attempted to paliate their act by lawful wedlock, but the young msn, slthough occupying a social position not very enviable, bears 3 fair reputation in tho town, aud may make even a better husband than anticipated.

Mead, Barton Hill, Morrig Simmonds, Harry Watkins and J. W. Shannon. It has been reported to the commitice that efforts have heen made by certain unauthorized persons to col- lect money, ostensibly for Mrs. Porter's benefit. PWIAT THE LADIES WILL DO. Mossrs. Barton Hill and T. E, Morris, who were on the committee to wait on the leading ladies of the profession to secure their co-operation, reported that one lady who did not wish her name ‘to be used hed offered the use of her house for 4 meeting of the ladies, and others had promised their co-operation. It was thought probable that Sorosis wonld tuke an active part in whatever should be decided on. ‘The committee also decided to transmit by. telegraph to Marshall, ‘Texas, the resolution ed in the meet- ing of Sunday, which was published in yesterday’ Hrrawp. This resolution thanked the citizens of Marshall for their kindness, and expressed the con- fidence of the meeting that justice would be done to the murderer. It was sent to the yor of Marshall, care of Mr. Barrymore, and was intehded to be read at the benefit which the citizens of Marshall gave to the troupe last evening, the proceeds of which are to be added to the fund for Mrs. Porter's relief. The committee then adjourned to meet again to-day. Mr. Dai reported last evening the following adai- tions to the list published in yesterdsy’s Hxmatp: 'T. H. French $50 C. E. Collins. Father H. Ba dowall.. 1% Gus Williams. i George Maddox. 5 One of the committee also received a check for $50 from Lawrence Barrett, making the total, up to the last footing, nearly $450, Subscription blanks were yesterday sent to the various theatres, and un appeal to the managers of the country for co-operation will be prepared and sent out to-day. Mr. Albert Murdock, who accompanied the re- mains to this city, started last evening for Nashville to rejoin the company, whose engagements between Marshall and Nashville have been cancelled. He said that, judging from the feeling in Marshall when he left there, twenty-four hours after the murder, he thought it Mkely that $1,000 would be realized trom the benefit last evening. The hall in which the company were to play is @ very smail one, but the people were thoroughly aroused. So thoroughly, he added, that he had half expected, ever since leavin; the place, to learn that Currie had been lynched. The company would probably py at the beneit somo light farces and there would b. some reading. Barrymore would not be well enough to play, but he would probably read something. His wound, Mr. Murdock ssid, was comparatively slight, the ball Passing thrpugh the muscles of his left arm and back, and being cut -from under hia left shoulder blade. Mr. Murdock says that the railroad companies for- warded him with Mr. Porter’s remains free of charge to New York, and ‘that the Erie Railway Company had sent him 4 return pass to Nashville. The troupe which was so suddenly and sadly diminished in num- ber consisted of Maurice Bartymore, John Drew, Benjamin C. Porter, H. Rees Davies, Albert Murdock, Mrs. Baker, Miss Josephine Baker, Mise Ellen Cum- mins and Miss Effie Vaughn. “WHAT CAN POOB ACTORS DO?” The following pertinent card has been recoived at this office from an intimate friend of Mr. Porter:— In reference to the suggestion mado with rogard to rats ing # subscription for the family of our deceased brother, B.C.

(ox revedarn To raz meRatp.) PHILADELPHIA, March 24, 4879. A largely attended meeting of the dramatic profes- sion was held here this afternoon to take measures for the relief of the family of Mr. Porter, the actor, whose brutal killing at the hands of a Texas rough has aroused an indignation that is not con- fined to the guild of ‘which the victim was ® member, All the theatrical managers of the city were represented at the meeting, and nearly all the ladies and gentlemen of their com- jes were either present in person or by proxy. ‘The proceedings of the meeting revealed the same warm hearted sympathy in the affliction of a brother artist’s family, and the same unanimous desire to contribute substantial measures of alloviation, that always characterizes the members of the theatrical profession Mrs. John Drew offered the use of Arch Street Theatre, free of all expense, for @ benefit performance. Manager ivod- win, of the Walnut and Park, tendered the same courtesy. Mr. Gemmil wished to con- tribute the Chestnut, Mr. Jones the New National, and Messrs. Ford and Zimmerman and Mr. Crossey mado the same offer regarding the South Broad Street and North Broad Street theatres respéctively. Mr. George Holland said that $25 had already been sent to him and twenty-five tickets ordered, and Mr. Meade, of \the Oates Opera Company, sent word that a contribution from the troupe would be forwarded. It was evident that the dramatic artiste of Philadelphia will unanimously do all in their power to make the benefit perform- ance a success. A committee of managers was ap- pointed, consisting of Messrs. Goodwin, Menduin, Carncross, Gemmil, Crossey and Jones, who will fix the time and place and mike all arrangements for the performance. Committees.on advertising and music were also chosen. . THE BENEFIT AT DALLAS—A LARGE HOUSE AND MORE THAN FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS RAISED, (BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.) Dautas, Texas, March 24, 1879.
