THE TARIFF DISCUSSIONS Turkey in Trouble with England and France About Egypt: HONORS TO AMERICANS. {Bx CABLE To THE HERALD.) Lonpoy, July 4, 1879. The French Senate has adopted the bill pro- viding for the return of the Chambers to Paris. Turkey has appointed her members of the in- ternational commission for the settlement of the Greek frontier question. The French Customs Tariff Committee have agreed to a resolution raising the duty on oils to one frane and thirty centimes. The Times’ Constantinople despatch says the Grand Vizier refuses to accept Mahmoud Nedim Pacha as Minister of the Interior, | Itis formally announced at London that the business of the late Baron Lionel de Rothschild will be carried on by the three sons of the de ceased. M. Paul de Cassagnac has been acquitted of the charge of exciting to hatrel and con tempt of tlle government by articles published in Le Pays. Queen Victoria has directed that the Royal regiment of artillery meet the body of the Prince Imperial at Woolwich and escort it to Chiselhurst. The Daily News understands that there is no truth in the rumor of Count Schouvaloff’s retire- ment from. the London Embassy. He probably takes a furlough. In consequence of the adverse vote in the Chamber ot Deputies on the Grist Tax bill the ftalian Cabinet, through Premier Depretis, has tendered its resignation. The Court of Cassation at Rome has rejected the appeal of the Countess Lambertini against the brothers of the late Cardinal Antonelli, with costs to the Countess. A new Egyptian ministry has been formed ander Cheriff Pacha, the head of the national cabinet formed by Ismail Pacha after the dis- mission of his European ministers. ~ Rev. Dr. John Cumming, the celebrated{ Pres byterian minister and writer on the millinnium, bus been medically ordered to renounce all men- tul work. He is about to retire from the min- istry. A meeting of the Irish Catholic Bishops yes- terday declared the Irish University bill un- worthy of acceptance in its present form. A large meeting of Home Rulers in London has also unanimously condemned the bill. . Adespatch from. Simla says that the prospects of a vossution of the famine in Cashmere are gradually improving. The spring crops look slightly better. The area of the autumn sowing exceeds expectations, and the importation of grain is proceeding satisfactorily. A telegram from Glasgow sayg that there were ouly thirty-one persons in the High Blantyre colliery yit at the time of the explo- sion yesterday mornjng instead of fifty, as first reported. Four ot the victims were burned alive. So far twenty-three corpses have been recovered. Owing to the dulness of trade and the general feeling of insecurity at St. Petersburg the indus- trial exhibition contemplated for Moscow in 1880 is postponed one year. The freights brought to and despatched from St. Petersburg by rail during April show a falling off of forty- three per cent as compared with April, 1878. TURKEY AND THE POWERS. The Standard’s Vienna despatch denies that England and France have protested at Constan- stinople against the abrogation of the irade of 1841 giving the Khedive the power to make treaties. The Vienna correspondent of the 4imes ‘says this protest was merely a verbal one, and only made to open negotiations on the subject. ‘lhe Telegraph's Vienna despatch suys the Porte has seut a circular to the Powers ex- Plaiuing that its reason for the abrogation of the irade conferring certain prerogatives on the Khedive of Egypt is that, as Ismail Pacha abused those prerogatives his suc- cessor might do the same. The Porte will not make the slightest concession in the watter. AUSTRIAN POLITICS. Tn consequence of the Liberal deteat in the elec. tions for the Austrian Reichsrath it is probable that the Liberals will experience a sensible loss in the Delegations which deal with the foreign policy. For instance, the Czech conservatives having secured a bare majority in Bohemia, it is probable that not one of the forty-one liberal Bohemian members will be nominated to the Delegations. FOREIGN HONORS TO AMERICANS, QIMEX, SELFRIDGE AND MENOCAT MADE MEM- BERS OF THE LEGION OF HONOR. ‘ [wx caBLe TO THE HERALD.) Panis, July 3, 1879.

Lonpon, July 4, 1879. A telegram from Lord Chelmsford’s head- quarters, dated on the 6th of June, published in the second edition of the Daily News yesterday @fteruoon, gives a connected narrative of the peace negotiations between Lord Chelmaford and the Zula King. Lord Chelmaford promised that if the two cannon captured at Isandula wore surrendered within a week, and certain hostages sent into the Briti«h lines as evidence of King Cetywayo's sincerity, he would grant an armistice ponding peace, for which he had telegraphed to England three weeks ago. Lord Chelmsford, at the re- quest of the Zulu messengers, sketched the out- lines of the probable terms—namely, the en- forcement of Sir Bartle Frere’s ultimatum of unconditional sur er, indemnity to England for the cost of, the war and the return of the spoils tuken at Isandula. If Cetywayo is unable te comply with the last named con- dition the British must themselves reeover the spoils from the individual holders. The mes- sengers were warned to be prepared for the probability of the final céremony of the con- clusion of peace at Ulundi. A despatch from Cape Town, dated June 10, says:—‘‘Strong hopes are entertained of the suecess of the peace negotiations, The British forces ure dis- gusted and disheartened by the war.” ——+—___ GERMANY. THE RESIGNATION OF MINISTER PALK—HERR YON PUTTKAMMER HIS PROBABLE SUCCESSOR— THE TARIFF QUESTION, {BY CABLE TO THE HERALD.] Lonpow, July 4, 1879. A Berlin despatch to the Times says:—‘It is asserted on trustworthy authority that Dr. Falk resigned because he is convinced that it is now possible to effect u reconciliation with the Vati- can, and is therefore patriotically resolved not to remain as an obstacle to that earnestly de- sired consummation. There is no doubt that the Emperor will accept the resignation of the three Ministers.” It is thought in Berlin that Herr von Puttkammer, President of the Province of Silesin, will probably succeed Dr. Falk as Minister of Ecclesiastical Affairs, and that Herr Bitter, Under Secretary of the In- terior, will probably succeed Herr von Hobrecht as Minister of Finance. The negotiations be- tween the Berlin government and the Vatican are said to be progressing satisfactorily. A despatch from Rome to the Pall Mall Gazeite says:—**The negotiations concerning religious differences between Germany and the Vatican are pro- Geeding rapidly, and it is expected they will be successfully terminated before the appointment,| of Dr, Falk's successor.as Minister of Ecclesins- tical Affairs.” A Berlin despatch to the Stand- ard states that Herr Scheele, late President of the Railway Control Offiee, and Dr. Lucius, are mentioned for the Ministries of Finance and Agriculture, respectively. INTRICACIES ON THE TARIFF QUESTION. Relative to the somewhat involved situation concerning the tariff question, Herr Bennigsen’s motion aimed at preserving for Parliament the power of withholding or granting supplica, Herr Frankenstein's motion, which it is generally supposed in Germany Prince Bismarck will accept in some modified form, has the advan- tage, from his point of view, of securing to the Empire a certain and fixed reve- nue, independent of Parliament; but as the motion would hand all the money derived from customs and the tobacco dues over that certain fixed amount to the separate States, to whom the Empire would be compelled to apply, if it found the fixed revenue insufficient, it would in- crease the importance of the separate States in- juriously to the cohesion of the Empire. The separate States are likely to approve Herr Frankenstein's scheme, and use their influence to induce Prince Bismarck to accept it. An- other reason influencing him toward acceptance is that thé ultramontanes, who support Herr Frankenstein's scheme, are mostly conserva- tives, a definite alliance with whom would en- able Prince Bismarck to break permanently with the liberals, carry his scheme for placing all the railways under State control and stop the movement for administrative reform in Prussia, NEW DUTIES LEVIED. A telegram from Berlin announces that the Reichstag has adopted the duties on cotton goods, apparel, yarn, linen and silk goods. The Tariff Committee has tixed upon October 1 as the date for the introduction of the new tariff, excluding the duties affected by the Belgian treaty of commerce, which come in force on the Ist of January next. An arrange- ment has been effected between the centre and conservative parties by which the duty on coffce is fixed at forty marks and on petroleum at six marks, and the Tariff Committee has, in accord- ance with this adjustment, fixed the duties at these rates, AN INTERVIEW WITH HERR LASKER--HIS OPINe TON ABOUT THE CHANCELLOR, HIS TARIFF POLICY AND HIS QUARREL WITH THE LIB- ERALS. A special correspondent of the Paris paper Le Globe publishes an interesting account of a conversation with Herr Lasker, the leader of the German national liberals, on the present conflict between that party and Prince Bismarck. Herr Lasker said that the country has for some time been divided into two camps—in one the Prince is regarded as an infallible statesman and patriot whom people must follow even if they do not agree with him; to the other belon, those who, while fully recognizing the Chancellor's diplomatic ability and his great services, yet will not support him in any course involving the sacrifice of national freedom. The latter view is that of Herr Lasker and his party. ‘So long as the business on ,haud was the unification of Germany,” he observed, “or the consolidation of the German Empire, we im- posed restraint on our personal teclings; but when we became convinced that our internal administra- tion was not being rightly conducted we freely ox- pressed this conviction, The Chancellor wishes to introduce, in opposition to our principles, a purely personal poligy. We have, therefore, separated from him, or, to speak more correctly, he has separated from us, ashe kuew we would not follow him in this new course.” Herr Lasker added that the clerical party would always have gone with Prince Bismarck if he had encouraged it in the slightest degree to do #o, and that its support will replace what he loses by his separation from the national liberal party, All he has to do for the present in order to secure its warm support is to hold out to it the possibility of a modus vivendi ; though Herr Lasker thinks it doubtful whether the Prince will really go far in this direction, as by so doing his influence might greatly suffer. “The Chancellor,” he concluded, ‘‘is not one of those small politicians who think it a duty to adhere to a mistake. He will alter his tactics as soon as it suits him, and como straight back into theoldroad. * * * The question now at issue has but little to do with protection or free trade. It is purely political, What the Chancellor wants is to obtain the means for maintaining the present mili- tary organization without exposing himself to the reproach of overburdening the budget. ‘The cen: tralization of the protective tariffs in the hands of ‘the government removes the chief ob- ataclo to the increase of the military expen- diture, as it enables direct taxation to be reduced, * * * The political situation of Prince Biamarck may be compared with that of the Duke of Wellington after the battle of Waterloo. He is ® triumphant warrior regarded with enthusiasm by the people, and using his popularity in order to raise himself above political parties. Notwithstand- ing the opposition of Parliament, the Duke remained master of the situation, because, like Prince Bis- marek, he had the marses of thé people behind him. But 1 feel convinced that if the Chancellor wishes to retain his popularity he cannot long remain the ally oft the clericals.” CABLE NOTES.

Sn Francnico, July 3, 1879. On the reassembling of the Democratic Convention at Sacramento, last evening, # resolution was offered that, with the exception of Governor and Judiciary, no candidates of any other State Convention be in- dorsed, This created a long and heated discussion, during which the fact was developed that the dele- gates from San Francisco and Sacramento had been holding a conterence with the managers of the “Honorable Bilke” with 4 view of procuring the indorsemont of the “Honorable Bilks’’ ticket, on which are many republicans. It was strongly ar- gued by the friends of the fusion that on account of desertions from the democratic ranks the only pos sible chance for success lay in a coalition. The-opponents of the proposed indorsement de- nounced it as an attempt to sell out the party to the “Honorable Bilks,”” Pending the roll call a telegram from Mr. Glenn, accepting the nomination for Gov- ernor, was read, The roll call resulted in the adoption of the resolution by a vote of 198 to 148, Cheers and contusion follor RECRIMINATIONS. Mr. Sullivan, of San Francisco, objected to putting up democrats to be sacrificed, and moved an adjournment sine die, amid a babel of cries. Another dalegate charged Mr. Fowler, of Tula adelegate on the floor, with saying that he woul vote and work for the republican candidates, and ac- use: him of selling out to the railroads, The uproar then doubled and Mr. Fowler at- tempted to reach his accuser, but was seized by Gov- ernor Irwin and others. For a few moments a gen- eral row was imminent. Order Was finally restored, NOMINATIONS MADE. The motion to adjourn was voted down and thé Convention proceeded to nominate a candidate for Lieutenant Governor. J. D. Lynch, of Los Angelos; ‘Thomas Fowler, of Tulare, and Levi Chase, of San Diego, were proposed. The latter was nominated on the first ballot.

MR, VANDERBILT BUYS THE TROY AND BOSTON ROAD AND SECURES ¥OR THE CENTRAL A TERMINUS AT BOSTON. [BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD. ]. Troy, N. ¥., July 8, 1879. ‘William H. Vgnderbilt’s check was received in this city to-day for the sum of $125,000 in payment for 2,600, or & majority of shares of the stock of the Troy and Boston Railroad Company. The purchase was made from D. T. Vail, late treasurer of that corporation. Mr. Vanderbilt will immediately as- sume the management of this route, which is forty- eight miles in length, extending from Troy to the Hoosac Tunnel. The shares were purchased at half their face value. Before the Hoosac Tunnel was completed this stock was considered valueless. Since the ‘great bore” has been finished the business of this route has steadily increased. Now the freight traffic between Troy and the Ba: Stato is larger than that over any single track road in this country, upward of four bundred cars moving both ways daily. The net profits from earnings during the past year was published under oath at $50,000. This looks ag though Mr. Vander- bilt had secured » bonanza. It is stated that the new management will double track the route and other- wise improve it. The greater portion of the treight trausported comes direct from the West and goes trom Buffalo to Troy over the New York Central route, thence to the tunnel, This is known as the Hoosae Tunnel route, composed by the different companies between Boston and St. Louis, each con- tributing a quota of cars. REJOICING IN TROY. ‘The sale causes twofold rejoicing in Troy, because Mr. Vail was the manager of the Merchants ana Mechanics’ Bank, of that city, which failed last fall, aud $400,000 was lost to depositors that had been in- vested in Troy and Boston stock, which is doubled~ in value by this transfer, and the luboring- people have a better chance to obtain their deposit funds. the matter also creates interest because it increases the | intensity of the railroad war that has prevailed dur- ing the past year in this vicinity between the Erie Railwi and $30,000,000 ot Boston capital on one side, and the, New York Central, the Boston and Albany and the’ Troy aud Boston Company on the other part. ‘The former parties have been constructing a route from Troy to the Hoosec Tuauel, called the Boston, Hoosac Tunnel and Western Railway. This is im- tended to give the Erie a direct Eastern terminus at Boston, by using the Albany and Susquebanna route from Binghamton to Schenectady; then the new route to the tunnel and the Fitehburg road ito bos- ton and New England. direet competition with the New York Central from Buffalo and the lakes to the East. The Boston capi- talists have also commenced building aroad from Boston to Greentield, Mass., where the State road is met, and have surveyed # route west from Schenec- tady to the Black River, a parallel opposition to the New York Central. Hence the extent of the warfare has become very marked and vigorous. A VIGOROUS FIGHT. There t* now # strong conflict in progress in the courts over the matter, with the advantage thus far in favor of Erie and the Boston people. The istter seem to have plenty of funds, have expende upward of $1,000,000 for construction, and have their route all completed to Hoosac Tunnel, exceptin; two miles, having paid all bills in cash and issued no stock, The new concern have also procured $1,000,000 worth of the must improved rolling stock and are Bow operating sixteen miles of their road for local trafic between Troy and Eagle Bridge. There is plenty of business for the two existing routes trom Schenectady to Boston, | but the admission of the Erie to the tunnel forms the basis of opposition. Aggressive movements of jmportance are expected in a few duys. A HUSBAND'S VENGEANCE, (ey TeLe@RaPH TO THE HERALD.) Bautimone, July 3, 1879. James H.

A YOUNG LADY'S DRESS IGNITED FROM A PAPER TAPEW SHE HAD THROWN ON THE FLOOR. (BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HEKALD.] Ricumoxp, Va,, July 8, 1879. A distressing and unfortunate calamity occurred last night atthe residence of Mr. Thomas Bolling, on Franklin street, by which his sister, Miss Lou Bol- ling, one of the leading belles and beauties of this city, lost her life to-day, The family of Mr. Bolling belong to the best society of Richmond. Besides his wife—s former Miss Aylett—be had living with him his sister, Miss Lou. Bolling and Mr, Robert Hudgins—the Istter asa boarder. Last night, after 4 very plesaant evening in the parlor and on the porch, the ladies retired to their re- spective rooms: The hour was about eleven, When Mins Bolling reached her apartment with a lighted piece of paper she ignited the gas and threw the burning fragment on the hearth. She turned to move to another portion of the room, and in doing #o the trail of her dress, which was thin and inflam- mable, caught fire from the piece of burning paper. She soon became enveloped in flames. Her first knowledge of the terrible situation in which she was came from 4 sensation of beat at her back, and looking round she saw the flames ua they blazed up. YUTILE KFFORTS TO RELIEVE THE sUYFERER. She at once called her sister-in-law, Mrs, Bolling, | from the next room, who, Coming in and unable to rendcr any assistance, began to scream, in concert with the bur o dady,for help. Both the Gentiomen, Bae Bolltuy me § rr Hudgi and ry rushed up the stairs and, tho: they suw, endesvored | to ‘There were no rugs or blankets spread was used as qaickly as possil vantage. By this time the entire dress of Miss Boll- ing was consumed, and sho was in the most fearful agony. The gentlemen used, every means available to extinguish the flames. MER FRIENDS INJURED. Mr. Bolling was so severely burned in the hands that he may be disabled tor life. To add to the mis- fortune of the occasion, Mrs. Bolling’s dress caught fire about the time the gentlemen reached the room, and she was only saved by her husband throwing & bucket of water over her, which quenched the flames. Mr. Hudgins’ hands were also severely burned, his finger noils being completely burned off. RELIEVED BY DEATH. Miss Bolling’s injuries were of the most painful character. The body was one mass of roasted flesh, and her sufferings were fearful. She lingered until half-past three P. M. to-day, when death put an en to her sufferings. Mrs. Bolling, Mr. Bolling and Mr. Hudgins are severely burned, and have the sym- pathy of the entire community. Miss Bolling was considered one of the handsomest youug ladies in the city. She was about twenty yéars of age, and was beloved by everybody who knew her. QUIET IN ALASKA. THE INDIANS FRIENDLY AND PURSUING THEIR PEACEFUL VOCATIONS, Srrga, Alaska, June 17, 1879. The United States ship Jamestown, after a passage of twenty-three days, anchored off this place last evening. We found the United States ship Alaska here. She sails to-day for San Francisco. During the short interval since our arrival Ihave not been able to discover in my interviews wéth the powerful, or rather influential, Indians and white people any particular occasion for alarm as to the safety of the residents, Tne Indians sre certainly not premedi- tating an immediate massacre, as most of them aro at present engaged in their legitimate pursuit of hunting. The leading ones appear to comprehend the fact that it is for their interests to havo white people among them, and were certainly sincere, us far as I am now able to judge, in their professions of kindly feelings toward all.’ I have not seen the Collector as yet, owing to @ very recent death in his family. As the Alasku sails to-day I am unable to write any further particulars, but will do so by the next mail steamer. PENSACOLA QUARANTINE. CURRENT REPORTS DENIED—CARD FROM THE TAXPAYERS OF THE CITY.
