Thousands of Bedouins are READY FOR PILLAGE ‘he moment hostilities bezin, The Bedouins outside Alexandria wait only the signal of bombardment to begin, The Egyptians are now openly working at the forts and earth- works. Evidently the intention of Arabi Bey is to force the hostilities, despite the warning of the British admiral. A REMONSTRANCE, The war office has issued orders to the Indian government to dispatch a contingent of ten thousand troops to Egypt forthwith. Said Pasha had an interview with Lord Dufferin at the British embassy at Constantinople and remonstrated against the bombard- ment as unjustifiable.

Natlonal Asociated Pross, PriAveLenuia, Pa,, July 9.~Con- siderable excitement has been created by the discovery that the Schuylkill river, upon which not only the greater part of the city, but also the river front residents up to Reading, depend for water supply, has been poisoned between Reading and Potta- town by refuse from old copper mines, The matter was brought to the atten- tion of the board of health and the park commission, and immediate in- vestigation has been ordered. Thou- sands of fish are tloating dead on the surface of the river. Porrstown, Pa, July 9.—For sev- oral days past the water of the Schuylkill river has been impregnated with some poisonous matter that com- pletely changed the color and is kill- ing fish by the thousands. The water is of a color similar to that produced by placing a small quantity of indigo into a tub of water. Various causes are assigned, though as yet nothing definite has been ascertained, the most plausible story betag the pump- ing of poisoned or sulphurous water from some abandoned mine in the coal region, which finds its way mto the Schuylkill and is gradually mak- ing its way towasd the Delaware, Considerable indignation is felt by our citizens, who are, or will be, com- pelled to use the water. Not only does the present condition of the water unfit 1t for use, but the decom- position of thousands of dead fish will add greatly to its impurities, Hun- dreds of people yisited the banks of the river to-day. R Crops in Ilinois and Xowa. Natlonal Associated Press, Cuicaco, July 8,—A Springfield special says: The winter wheat crop throughout the state promises more than an average yield per acre and in southern portions of ths state is in good condition. In central Illinois the harvest has been greatly delayed by rains. Corn is generally in poor condition; from the present outlook there will not be over two-thirds the average yield. The best outlook is in the southern part of the state. Oats and rye are above the average. In Iowa the wheat harvest will be- gin about the 20th. Glowing accounts are given as to the condition of this crop; the yield per acre will be G0 per cent more than last year, and the entire average 50 per cemt greater, Corn has suffered from excessive rains and cold weather, but is growing finely. New calculations are made on two-thirds of a crop, although the acreage has increased 10 per cent. SeriNGrieLp, July 9.—Reports of the wheat crop from all counties in the state, July 1, show the condition to be six per cent above the average and fifty-seven per cent. better than at the same time last year. In the southern and most of the central counties the crop has been harvested and the quality is excellent. Much of it is already being prepared for market. 1In the central past of the state there is some alarm on account of sprouting, and the soft condition of the ground greatly delays harvest- ing, it being impossible to use reapers in many places. ‘Wrecked in a Fog: National Associated Press Mivwavkee, July 9.—The steam barge Helen ran ashore in a fog near Whitehall, Minn.. and two of her crew were drowned.

It is reported that the star route case, for which the grand jury has been summoned for Monday, is that connected with the Saulsbury con- tracts in Louisiana and Texas, with which it is said Senator Saulsbury is concerned, and Brady, Dorsey, Bro- then, John Walsh a1d others, THE WEEK'S WOLK, The work of the coming week in congress is looked forward to with considerable anxiety, as on it will de- pend the question of adjournment, The senate will probably pass the river and harbor bill on Tuesday. Sheuld it then decide to take up the internal revenue bill and epen a gen- eral discussion, as indicated by the re- publican caucus, thereis no telling when the end will be reached. After this bill is disposed of there will yei remain the navy and sundry civil bill to be acted on, which must consume at least another week. In the house it 1s expected neurly half the coming week will be expended upon the Sunday civil bill. Then the last regular appropriation bill will be out of the way, Then will come the senate amendments to the bank char- ter and river and harbor bills, some of the senate amendments to which are likely to cause some protly vigorous discussions Whether the republicans will attempt to take up the election cases is rather doubtful, ‘owing to the difficulty of getting a quorum It is thought improbable that adjournment will b reached betore July 24th, if, indeed, until Aaugust first. The President expected to leave the city this week or next for a rest in the country, but will not do so until con- gress adjourns, CONGRESS Natlonal Associated Fross SE PROCEEDINGH, Wassinarox, July 8.—The river and harbor bill was taken up and the Hennepin canal project discussed, on the amendment for additional surveys and report of cost of construction, . Senator Logan advocated the pro- ject. Senator Williams ridiculed the idea of a littie canal with twenty-one feet wide locks, such as was now con- tended for, being sufficient. He re- garded such work from a national standpoint as practically worthless, Senator Windom, in reply to Sen- ator Williams, said the New York and Erie canal had been a success, though its width was but eighteen feet, He could not understand why a twenty- ne foot canal should not be uquule successful in Illinois, He denied that there was any warrant for what had been asserted in the debate as to the worthlesaness of the Illinois canal, and referred to the competition charges by rail to show that lower canal rates had exerted matorial in tluence in cheapening transportation. A like showing was apparent in be half of canals in other portions of the country, Instead of deferring action until a great ship canal could be con structed, the senate should respond to the demand of the west for somet hing practical. Senator Logan said it had beon chargod that the state of Tllinois wanted to get rid of the Tllinois and Michigan canal becauso that work was an elephant on its hands. The facts were that the said canal had been pro- fitable and the state wanted to turn it over to the United States as a connec- tion with a groat. water way betwoen the east and the wost by way of the lakes for the benefit of commerce gen- erally. b Senator Butlor asked why Tllinois did not undertake the building of the proposed extension, Sanator Logan replied that by the recont amendment of her constitution, the state was prohibited from engaging in railroad or canal building. He quoted from the late report by State Engineer Seymour, of New York, that in the item of lumber alone the ton- nago of the New York and Erie canal last year was more than double that of the whole tonnage for tho year 1843, He thought the increase of value of canal business of late years furnished a suflicient answor to arguments which would not have been more zealously urged if their authors had been paid attorneys of railroads. Senator Hawloy maintained the tn- adequacy of canal estimatos, and Mr. Allison quoted statements of the on- gineers who had measured the water poewor of Rock river, to substantiate the uceuracy of his provious assertions on the point. Senator Butler's carried— 20 to 21 On motion of Senator Logan, a pro- vision was added for survey of the 1l1- amendment was inois and Michigan canal and esti- mates of the cost of enlarging the same, ete. Tho question recurring upon the committee amendment as amended, the ayes and nays were or- dered. Senator Hawloy wanted a dofinite understanding in order that the sense of the senate, as express.d by its vote refusing to bind the government to undertake the work until a full sur- vey of the whole eanal could be pro- sonted, might not bo nullified. Sevator Allison criticised what he called the nervous anxioty of sonators in the matter, and explained that the provision was exactly similar to every other for survey Senator Pendleton moved to strike out authority to the secrotary of war to determine and locate the route of the canal, 50 as to avoid the possibility of the construction that tho govern- ment was committed to the work. Carried. Of the 28 votes for Senator Butler's amendment, 23 came from che demo- cratic side. Senator Davis, of lllinois, Gorman, Pugh, Ransom and Walker voted no, and the l(;ther nub lntiva re- aponses were given by repu 3 ~wa£'-»- m&fl D modified, was adopted. It provides for the survey of the Hennepen canal route with estimates of the cost of construction and annual cost of main- tenance and use when completed, and for the survey of the Illinois and Michigan canal, and estimates of the cost of enlarging it, etc., so as to make its dimersions correspond with the Hennepin connection, and appro- priates $100,000 for the purpose. Re- port to be made next session. The remaining committee amendments were agreed to, Discussion followed upon the amendment offered and advocated by Senator Frye, prohibiting tho expen- diture of any part of the $5,000,000 appropriated for the Mississippi river levees in reclaiming or protecting lands, or othorwise, than in deep- ening the channel and improving nav- igation, Senator Jones quoted a provision in the bill to show that it expressly prohibited the building of levees ex- cept where, in the judgment of the river commission, theso are necessary as a part of the plan to afford ease and safety to the commerce of the river and to deepen the channel, He regardod the amondment as substan- tially identical and much less desir- able. Senator Kellogg argued that the amendment would unnecessarally re- strict and handicap a commission and rotard them in closing gaps, Senators Harrison and Conger pre- forred the phraseology of the amend ment to that of the bill, as less am- biguous, and Senators Hoar and Bayard opposed it, believing that the jurisdiction of the commission ought not to be restricted as proposed, The amondment was rejected by a vote of 16 to” 39, A committee was appointed to attend the Newburg colebration, Adjourned. HOUBE PROCEEDINGS, Mr, Crapo submitted a report of the conterence committee on the bill to enable national banks to extend their corporate existence, Mr, Randall made the point ot or- der that the report was not accompan- ied with the oxplanatory statement ro- quired by the rule, Being sustained, the conference re- port was withdrawn, The house went into committee on the sundry civil appropriation bill, the pending amendment being that striking out the proviso restricting in- vestigation of the national board of health to the discases of cholera and yellow fever. After debate the amendmest was rejected, Mr, Peele oftered an amendment including small pox among diseases to be investigated by the board. Adopted, Mr. Aldrich offered an amend aent appropriating §61,000 for the repair of the Chicago custom house. Re- Jjeoted, Mr. Kasson offered an amendment appropriating $45,000 to repair the cus- tom house at Des Moines. Adopted, Mr. Bayne offered an amendment McCarthy, married yosterday, suicided by shoot- ing. appropriating £25,000 to enablo the president to carry out the provisions of the statutes authorizing him to ap point a commission to examine appli- cants for oflice. After debato the amendment was rejectod—4b to b, After consideration of forty-three of the eighty-five pages of the bill the committes rose, On motion of Mr, Hiscock, the sen- ato joint sesolution was passed author- izing payment temporarily of certain employes of the war department.

NS RUNAWAYS. A Bad Day for Owners of Horse Flesh, Lower Farnam stroet witnessed an citing runaway just after 1 o’lock Saturday, the active participants being the team of Peter Johnson, of Irvington. The horses slashed across Tenth street, the wagon making an infernal racket, and the driver, Mr, Johnson, oxcitedly talking to them in Scandinavian English, When in front of Richards' restaurant thoy took 1o the sidewalk, and the way the pedestrians scattered was ludicrous to behold, Evorybody expected the team would enter one of the stores, but they didn’t; they whooped over to the weighmaster's oflice on Eleventh street, turned gracefully and shot over the scales, ripping up some boards, and bounded off toward Harney, up which they turncd, and, again taking the sidewalk, were stopped by Frank Bowers at Twelfth street. Mr, Bow- ors had just stepped to the corner whon the team came up, and he grab- bed the bridle of one and held him successfully. Mr. Johnson, the driver, had become seated on the bot- tom of the wagon before this, in which position he hung on to the lines, Tho reason he failed to stop the runaways was that the bridle was off one of them. OTHER BREAKS, A team brought up in front of George Paterson’s coal office on Thir- teenth street Saturday morning, doing slight damage, A runavay on Capitol avenue started up Kourteenth stroet Sat- urday, but the driver steered the horses into Henry Siert's barn, a block beyond, and the appalling catas trophe that might have ocourred was prevented, CORRUPTION FOR CASH.

Dr. Hicks, the spiri- tual adviser of the late Guiteau: Rev. Dr. Hicks: Dear Sir--T hear terrible reports a8 (o tho disposal of my brother's body. T understand it was to quiotly romain whero it was buried until it should be thought safe for us to re- move it to a suitable place of inter- ment. The paper which I signed said that we should have the privi- lege of o removing the body whenever wo desired to do so. That contract has been violated by the removal of the body to the muscum without my permission, I, for one, care most decidedly as to ev- orything connocted with “his body. His lifo and his money I care nothing for. The doctors quarrelled on the autopsy. Dr. Lamb's report is con- clusive evidence of his insanity, but aside from that I can, if necossary, call a witness who saw tho autopsy and will tell the truth, and who says th is not the shaaow of a doubt of iteau's insanity, as proved by what ho saw ot the autopsy. Of course such evidenco destroys the will, the donation of the body, the book 'copy- right and all. T think I' understand why the copyright was wanted, why notes of his last hours and sayings wore wanted, why the story of the poisoned pillets and the poisoned bou- quet wero stated. Some people think the Guitonu business is lmdu‘li, but as the shout went up from the crowd as the signal announced that Charles Guiteau was hanging in mid air, Tsaid the Guiteau business has just begun, The stalwarts have “put their foot in it.” Why! Because many people be- liove that every oflicial from the pres- ident down know he was as cray as a et loon. It would have been cheaper for the slalwarts to have taken care of (iuiteau.
