F. S, DeHauas, for two years American con- sul at Jerusalem, and an Oriental traveler of experience, in a sermon Iast night, said if true Arabi was in league with Elmehdel, the prophet, he would have 200,000 fierce, de- termined people at his back. REINFORCING ARABIL AvLEXANPRIA, July 17.—Port Said is crowded with refugees—women, children and old men. The defenseless from the entire region about Alex- andria is working to Port Said. Th. people of Egypt seem to be preparing for a great war. All strong men are leaving the children and women and moving towards the borders, Arabs are flocking in to join the ranks, Great numbers joined Arabi's forces as Damietta. The forces of Arabi scem to be well disciplined and provided for fighting. Strong earthworks are being erected and great preparations are being made for a military movement of some kind, believed to be offensive, Seymour has issued a proclamation which states he has undertaken the restoration with Egyptian forces’ consent. He orders all incendiaries caught in the act to be shot without arrest, and all pillagers imprisoned. Nobody is allowed to enter or depart from the town after sunset. He urges the people to re- sume businessand promises protection, DISCUSSING THE SITUATION, At an informal council, Seymour and his officers diecussed the situation. All admitted the situation more seri- ous than ever, owing to the unce tainity of the whereabouts ot Arabi and the continual discovery of his troops in localities unexpected, indi- cating a force of large numbers in good order. Damictta, a city 0f;30,000 people, commands the mouth of the east branch of the Nile, situated on the west bank of Le' 5 Menzateh, gives good land aud water access to Port Said avd the Suez canal by passing through the eastern part of. the lake.

OPINION OF A NATIVE TURK, PaiLavkvenia, Pa, July 17.—Rev. Mangazer Mangazerian, a native Turk, preaching at Bethany Presbyterian church last night, declared the Arabs gonded to oppuosition by English perse- cution. He said Arabi is a patriot and on his forming a junction with Elemhbedi, the prophet, which will surely occur soon, 2,000,000 Arabs will spring to arms, ROBINSON TO THE RESCUE. WasHiNaton, July 17.—Robinson, of Now York, to-day introduced res- olutions of inquiry into Americans imprisoned abroad, during which he stigmatized Lowell as Granville's de- tective; also calling on Secretary Fre- lnghuysen for information regarding American sailors doing police duty under the British admiral at Alexan- drin; also in reference to the injustice of closing the Suez canal, QUESTIONING THE CABINET. Loxvon, July 17.—In the house of commons this evening, an eflort was made to compel the governmert to state how far the action of Seymour was endorsed by other powers in the conference Saturday. %)nlku said that while the government had no written approval of her action toward Egyp: from Austria or Germany, it had the verbal approval of both. The ques- tion was put to the ministers, but they were not willing to avow that Dilke's statement was correct. %The question was repeated to Dilke and he was asked to answer catagor- ically, In the answer he said Austria expressed approval; so far Germany had not. This produced a sensation Dilke explained further by saying Austria’s declaration was plain, strony and unmistakable; that Austria used the words *‘Perfoctly legitimate’ in des- cribing the bowbardment. Gorst, conservative, gave notice he would move & vote of consure on the govern menv's failure to take steps to avert pillage. Gladstono asserted that Seymour never anticipated the Egyptian army would make the stand they did. Dauring the session Bright explained his reasons for resigning from the cabinet. He could not conscientiously keep his place. He bolioved the policy was a violation of moral inter- national law. RECRUITING, Araxasvria, July 17.—Arabi’s lioutenants have arrived at Cairo, and are recruiting. Arabi's officers are organizing forces all over Eaypt. The army is entrenching at Kafr, General Stone claims he rode six miles out of the city of Alexandria without seeing any of Arabi's soldiers. The British say the American marines ave the best firo fightors, FRENCH TROOPS, Loxnow, July 18 —Eight thousand French troops, with transports, are concentrated at Toulon for Egypt, should the porte decline intervention, THE ITALIAN PAPERS are unanimous in attributing the con- flagration of Alexandria to the English and ask the sultan to demand that England shall pay indemnity.

A massacre of Europeans has taken place at Seagazig, Mansurah aud Sontan, THE RESPONSIBILITY, ALEXANDRIA, July 18, — Raghib Pasha writes Seymour that the war prepurations of Arabi Boy were against the orders of the ministry and that Arabi is solely responsible. = The international tribunal, postoffices and some hotels opened = to-day. The streots are gotting clear of ruins. Many housea in danger of falling were blown up with dynamite. 1'here are 6,900 British soldiers and marines ashore.

Nat'o at Fros:s Asochition New York, July 17.—~The glove match between Sullivan and Tug Wil son at Madison Square garden i night was probably the most extraor- dinary affair of the kind that ever took place’in this country, There were not less than ten thousand people present and it took one hundred po lico to keep them in order. Botting ran high, Suliivan having the call at the rate of one hundred to eighty. All western sporting men at oue time offered to bot $500 to §100 on Sullivan, It was rumored about town that the fight was not as fair as it might havd been, an_opinion pre. vailing that Sullivan did not exert his full powers. It is also rumored that Suollivan and Wilson will travel through the country and give eparring exhibitions, Wilson forced the fighting from tho beginning. He entered the ring at 160 pounds, Lhuu{h many prosent thought he was lighter, = Sullivan weighed 190 pounds. Wilson’s tactics were to keep closo to his man and to drop to avoid punishment. There was not a square knock-down during the contest, though Wilson went down at every opportunity. So for as sparring was concerned he showed more skill than Sullivan, The second round was a mere repetition of the firat. In the third round both men did some clever work, but Sulli- van's attempts to got in his sledge hammer blows were rendered futilo by the cat-like activity with which his opponent dropped.” In the fourth round they threw science to the wind and engaged in a regular slugging match, in which Wilson held his own. When time]was called ho was not kno-ked out, and the referee, Harry Hill, so de- cid.d. Arthur Chambers and George Holden acted for Wilson and Joe Goss and Billy Madden took care of Sullivan, The receipts were $16,000, of which Wilson gets $ 000 and Sullivan 87,000, out of which Yo wil, have to pay the expenses, Richard K.

CGorrespondence of The Bee. Rexo, Nev., July 12 returned from a Your corre spondent has just trip to that far-famed and lovely spot, the Yosemite Valloy, and a sketch as briof as possible of our more than charming trip may not prove unin teresting to the readeras of Tur Ber and hor many frionds in Omaha, But T pause when I think of at- tempting to do that “Garden of Eden” justice, when eminent writors have attempted, and the bost of artists have painted it, but all have de- apaired of giving expression to the awe-inspiring feelings which fll the beholder of the grand and mighty chasm, For I can say with all who have seen it that all the beautiful pic- tures and books you may read of this lovely spot can give you little more idea of its majestic sublimity than if you had not read a word. In enchanting beauty and sublimity of grandeur it far surpasses expression and must be seen to appreciated, and oven then its charms grow on one the louger they stay. Iis towering cliffs, waterfalls like cataracts from the clouds and gigantic vegetation, have no comparison in the world. And it far eurpnsses tho wildest and most extravagant dreams of the tourst, as they all express themselves. Your correspondent had alwaye longed to see the matchless beauties of the valloy of the Yosemita, whose famos has become world-wide. But it carried her out boyond her doepth, and the first day exhausted her vocab ulary of adjectives, aand all she cpuld writo home as a deeeription was, “Oh! Ob! Oh!" as the girl did who visited the Contonnial, and Lhave since opncluded that these three short 26. fite road, while on either ride is seen a quantity of the glossy green Manzwnita bush. Taking the ride all inal in one which we may often picture in our imagination and read about, but seldom see. T'hero are good routes to the valley, but this is said to be the finest and most pleasant. But at last we are entering Yosemito valley, aud wo a realizing ono of the dreams of life. Back and forth we wind down the atoop mountain side, and on the right wo have a fine view of the appropri ately named Bridal-Veil fall in all its silvery whiteners, and in time to see its beautiful rainbow colora. At our left is Virgin Te: s fall and the huge EI Capitain mountain whoso name signifies “Great Chief of the Valley.” Tt is 3,300 feot in height, more than perpondicular, of smooth, cold, gray granite, In the distanc wo soo Cloud's Rest, South Dome, Glazier Point, Three Graces, Cathedral Spires, and other high cliffs (which we tako more intorest in later,) the hi hest of which is “Cloud’s Rest,” 6,160 feet above tho valley. Yosemite valloy is 4,000 foet obove the level of the sea, and is said to have heen scooped out by a large gla- cior during the glacier period. In many places the walls of the valley are nearly vortical. Tho mountains surrounding it will average about 4,000 foot in height. The valley is ten miles long, with an average of ono and o half mile in width, which 1s hard to reali as it sooms less than a quarter of u milo wide, 8o gigantic are the walls iuclosing it. The charming Merced river flows through the valley, and with its clear, spark- ling water and beautiful ocascades, comploetes the picturesque scene. We arrived at Barnard’s Yosemite Falls hotel at 6 p. m., i1 time to do justico to a good dinner. This hotel 18 charmingly located on the margin of the boautiful waters of the Merced river. The dining room and our room also, look out under shady troes, over green lawns, with a fine view in a directWline of tho Yosemito falls, 2 634 foot high, Tnvalids and parties who eannot endure horse-back riding, can sos moet of tha prineipal points ot intoreat from the veranda of this hotol, I'ho next morning after our arrival we took a caremge for Mirror lake (before sunrise) through the beautiful “Tin-sa-ack park and drive,” arriving at the lake in timo to see old Sol. rise fourteen times by walking along the shores of the lake, which at”this time words are about as exprossive as all one may write of that place, for there is no end to the WONDERS AND BEAT of Yosemite. Look which way you will, in the shady nook, gurgling brook or the highest cliffs is a picture that words or brush ot describe. Ta fact, the tourist becomes veally in- spired on entering the valley, and af- ter leaving it longs to come and como again, and he must be dull indeed who cannot appreciate this wonderful work of nature, and lift a prayer of thanke to Him who made it. By the championship. Itis also announced to-night that Sullivan and Wilson will appear in Philadelphia at an exhi tion sparring match within a woek. SPORTING. National Associated Pross.

A large number of Indians way they have a nice little church in the valley, where they often hold ser- vices. And what a beautiful spot to ‘worship God! It was & charming June day, as balmy clear as our Californis 8 are noted for, when our eyes first had the plensure of looking upon its won- derful beauty. We arrived in the valley the third day after leaving Reno, where we took the Central Pacific railroad for Sacramento and Stockton, where we connect with the train for Milton, There we tuke the stago for the valley and trundle along in good old style with a coach and six for ecighty-six miles—almost a two day’s ride, The first day the scenery is not so interesting, for our ride is mostly through the foot hills, but through a thin tremolous haze, the forms of the Sierras in the onst, and the Const rango in the west, wero faintly visible, The sky over: head was cloudless, a deep blue tint porvading in strong contrast to the carth tones of ochre and orange, a strange combination of tint and tone, at the horizon, calling to mind fa- miliar pictures of Kgypt, Syria and the east, so it was not wholly tire- some, But at meal times we were eager to get out of the stage and roudy to do the repast justice. And at twilight we were only to glad *to seok tired nature’scalm restorer balmy slecp,” to arise carly the next morn ing and resumo our journey to the object of our trip. But the second day'’s ride we were moro than repaid for any of the tediousness of the pre- vious day, for it was ono of ® THE MOST DELIGHTFUL RIDES imaginable, ss two of our traveling companions who had traveled nearly all over the world agreed, and fur ther that 1t was the finest they had ever geen in all their cravels We cross the Stanislaus and Tuolomne rivers, the last one we are ferried across, and further along we pass through the Tuolomne grove of = big ‘rees, and through thoe largest tree in the grove, ‘“The Dead Giant," stage, horses and passengers are driven right through, which to read of day is in all its beauty, its water clear without a ripple, and THE REFLECTION 80 TRULY WONDERFUL one can almost imagine it to be some giant mirror, fcr there in its waters you seo all the high cliffs and pines surrounding it, and every loaf dis. ctly, and one involuntarily steps back in fear that a careless stop may oause him to fall to a bottomless abyss, as it in all reality appears when looking on its placid waters, Our early morning ride had given termined to take it all in and which was a patfectly splondid view, Our trip took the entite day, arriv- ing at the hotel in time to enjoy a good supper, af‘er whiclt we took a moonlight stroll through the valley, for we were fortunate to be blessed with beautiful moonlight nights while there, as well as dolightful woather like that of sunny Ttaly, dur- ing our stay, Another day we take the trail for Vearnal and Nevada falls, whioh is an- other delightful trip. Your cor- respondent had the pleasuro (/) of a gonuine ehower bath from the spray of the beautiful shoot of falling water ealled VERNAL FALLS, which is a plunge of 400 feet; and two or three of our party thonght wo would descend the long ladders and go under the falls, the consequence of which was a sovere sonking, notwith- standing rubbers and water-proof, But when there wo had rainbows all around us and right at our feet, but did not find the bag of gold we have been told as children wo would find at the end of the rainbow. Cur last day at Yesemito wo had a most delighuful buggy ride of sixteon miles, to and from the Caseade falls, at the south end of the valley, stop- ping on the way at the foot of **Yose- mite Falls” ard “Bridal Veil,” whero we gathered some of tho loveliest of ferns, flowers and moss, and received another sprinkling from the spray; but then our ride was so perfectly splendid - a continual change of scen- ory. And anotlier charm is added by THE SWEET PEREUME that pervades tho breozo throughout the entire valley, As we rido along the banka of the clear, cool Merced river, with its many beau'iful cas- cades and tho towering cliffs on all sides, one must indeod bo happy— when all nature is gay, and, indeed, mont every one secms 8o in Yosemite, und for my part T don’t seo how they could help but be. For paint in your imagination one of the most beautiful of picturos, and T resure you it must come far short of Yosemite's wonder- ful charms Tadvise all my Omaha friends and readers of Tue Bek to improve their first opportunity to see this sweet valo and paradiso, and you will never re- aret it though it cost something. But you will ke repaid by the enjoy- ment it affords. To my young friends who contemplate matrimory—wait, if not too long—until you can take a bridal tonr to Yosemite, There could not be a more delightful place to spend the honeymoon.

Good- win, oashier of the Logansport Na- us a good appetite for breakfast, after partaking of which, we mount our saddle horses at the hotel, and a party of twelve or fifteen ot us, with guides, Indies and gentlemen, are off for Glacier Point, a ride of four wmiles, zig- zug trail up the steep mountain side, which, to look at from the valley, one would think it almost impossible to ascend, And we make a queer look- ing saddle train, for us ladies do not put on much atyle while doing Yose mite valley. But this is one of the most charming and interesting rides ubout the valley, presenting many grand and startling views. For almost the entire distance after an ascent of a thousand feet, wo could look down into what seemed a bottomless abyss, it was i.possible to see its greatest depth. Out of it came the roaring of distant waters and the lulling songs of pino treo forests, And, although the trail is good, still ita zig zag wind- ings and dangerous turns are apt to mako the rider keep closo to the mountain and_safe side, for a slip or false step of the horse and down you would go two or three thousand feet and be dashed to pieces on the rocks bolow, People with weak nerves can- not enjoy the grand view. And even men that are brave otherwise profer to take the tiresomo climb on foot rather than trust th horses, as did a Ger- man gentleman in our party, who was making a tour of the world, and one would think he was more brave; but your correspondent proferred her sad- dle and held on tight. Passing on we soon reach Glacier Point, From ite torr ¢»d summit we look down 3,200 foet (perpendicular) to the greon meadows below, and of THAT GRAND AND SUBLIME VIEW 1o pon can give a truo sketch, Thero can be but tew places where so much of the terrible and beautiful are at once combined, and few can gazo into such a depth without a shudder, even though there are strong iron bars to support you while looking over. There over three thousand feet below in the olear Merced river rippling on in its many charming winding, and an idea of the immense height can be about seems a little incredible, is nevertheless a fact, as also quite a novelty, This tree is over 100 feet in circumference, Further on our ride is still more beautiful, though the grand old pines, ono to three hundred feet in height, and the oaks, hung with the mistle- toe, Then on we whirl through deep gorgon and valleys, occasionally pass- 1ug deserted villages which were once lively mining camps with their thou sands of inhabitants, Around the steep mountains we go, and not far in front of the horses we seca protty deer bound across the road. The oountry around about is wild enough that an occasional she grizzly bear is seen when roaming through the for este, To our right hundreds of feet below is . THE WILD TUOLOMNE GORKGE, Along above that the grade is very steop, and tuaid passengors shrink back with terror, in fear with the gait of the lorses the stage might overturn, aud take a tumble of one thousand feet or more, But there is little danger on such & given when I toll you that looking down in the valley pines 300 feet high appear as shrubbery, persons as mere #pees and the church (whose bell was ringing swoetly) appeared the size of oneof those littletoy churches we have 80 often played with when children, Directly opposite us, on the other side, Yosemite fall coming down half- wmile in three leaps, its silvery spray sparking in the sunshine; and to the right we see the jewel of the valley, Mirror Lake, and further on Nevada and Vernal Falls, and tower high above them is Half Dome Clouds’ Rest; and boyond all is the snow-capped High Sierra mountains, as yet un- twrodden by the foot of man, At Glacier Point we partook of an excellent dinner, even though all the provisions have to be brought to that high pinnucle on horse back. . From (ilacier Point, a travel of a mile and a quarter higher leads to the summit of Sentinel Dome, which is 4,126 feet above the valley and about 9,000 feet above sea level, which none of the party cared to venture excepting your tional, bank, who left this city June 17th, is a defaulter to the amount of $16,000, On June 8tk he instructed the bank clerk to charge the Exchange bank of Chicago with the above amount, , 8uit will-be brought against Goodwin's sureti The Fatal Toy Pistol.
