New York July 30.—The Herald's Loudon Cable says: The British gov- ernment is informed that intrigues are progressing betweon the Alexan- dria entourage of the khedive's gov- erument and the sultan, who is using especinlly Mussellman and religious influences to decide Arabi to declare that he will submit unconditionally to the sultan and will protect the Suez canal if the British forces are with- drawn, leaving the work of pacification for the Turkish continguut, thereby PFECTING COMPLIANCE ision of the conference. MERELY with the de This plan is patronized by M. DoLessepe. Also the deficiency of provisions and water is urged by ths British government after the forward movement of the British, which will bo preceded by the occupation of Aboukir, Damietta and Port Said. Admiral Seymour and General Alison are equally of the opinion that the position of Arabiis an ecasy ono to turn, but not to attack in front with- out heavy losses. There are THE STRONGEST I OF AN UNDR- between Kugland and France to op pose an exclusively Turkish interven- tion if M. DeFreycinct remain in office. Communications on _the subject are frequent between Lord Lyons and the French minister of foreign affuirs, THE SCOT GUARDS, LoxnvoN, July 30.--The steamship Orient departed this morning for Egypt with the Scot Guards, 750 strong. An immense crowd of people surrounded the barracks and the guards departed amid great enthusi- asm, The crowd was so great that the guards with difticulty left the bar- racks, The Prince and Princess oi Wales, Duke of Connaught and Cam- bridge, the latter commander in chief of tho army, and Childers, secretary of war, lefc by special steamer to meet the Orient and escort her ous of the harbor. THE SULTAN DISSATISFIED, Co orLe, July 30.- secretary of the British Loga ! representing tho ambassador, again visited the sultan and requested him to issuo a proclamation declaring Arabi Pasha a rebel and an outlaw, The secretary at this visit gave tho eultan explauations of Eagland’s atti- tude and position, staving that En- not aimr at a protectorate pt. No_satisfactory reply could be obtainea from the sulian. He pl inly siznified he was dissatis- fied at Eagland's course and sent a messago by the secretary that he would do nothing for England, but would yield only to the wishes of Eu- ropo, THE ABSENCE OF ONOV, Russian delegate from Thursday’s sitting of the conference, has occasioned a feeling of uneasiness and variouz European governments have asked their representatives to give explana- tions of the cause of his absence. At Thursday's sitting a final arrangement woula have been reached but for the absencs of Oaoy. Adjournment at such a moment is regarded as critical, The Eoglish embassador, Lord Duff- erin, had received important instruc- tions from his government, as also had representatives of France and Italy, The absence of Onov prevented their meking the communications known to the confersuce, ARABI'S DISPATCH TO THE PORTE. The rebel government in Egypt has sent an offi.ial telegram to the Porte, which says: The khedive having is- suod a decreo dismissing Arabi Pasha from the ministry for defending Alex andria and having published a procla- mation declaring England is the friend of Egypt, Arabi Pasha has’ called on the country, of which he is a submis- sive servant, to pronounce its will in the matter. At a meeting called for yesterday, comprising Ulemus, Ca- diz, Coptic and Patriarch Leads of the Armenian Greek and Maornit comn- munities and various high functiona- ries, notables and leading merchants, in all, 400 persons, moving speeches were delivered, especially by Ali Bey, who recounted the outrages of the English sailors upon Alexandria womem. The mesting, with only three dissenients, decided to main- tain Arabi Pasha so that he might de- feud the country until the conclusion of satisfactory peace, or total extermi- nation of his forces. Decroes to the | contrary were declared aunulled. As | the khed was boyond the pale of Musselman law it was resolved that the decision of the meeting be sub mitted to the Porte. The khedive is at present either the prisoner or pup- pet of the British, and his authority isrepudiated. Immense numbers of people paraded the streets last even- ing, shouting, *“Victory to the friends of Egypt, against the aggressors.” AFFATRS AT ALEXANDRIA, LEXANDRIA, July 30, - Plundering and sacking of houses outside of the city and beyond the British lines at Ramleh continues. An Arab caught in the act was shot by the patrol. THe two expeditions consisting of British sappers, sailors and marines and Egyptian railway workmon, which lett last night to repair railways cut by, the rebels on the Alexandria side ot Mahalla Junction, wero completely sueceasful. A large number of rail- wiy carriages and wagons were brought to Alexaddria. The British portions of the expedition returned early this morning without encounter- ing the enemy. Evyery efiort is being made by the rebels to fortify Port Said and vicinity. French men-ot- war in Egyptian waters have been ordered to station themselves at Port Said and ceaso cruising aboutthe Suez canal, PROTECTING Mabrin, July 80 —Germany has proposed to Spain to co-operate in protection of the Suez canal, and it is believed in influential quarters that THE CANAL, the government will accept the invita- tion, THE FR Panis, July 30.—Newspapers con- sider that the vote rejecting the bill granting Egyptian credits more clearly shows a coalition of the enemies of the cabinet than any precise indica- tion of cpinion in the chamber on for- eign politics, The composite nature of the majority vote is shown by the fact that oredit was rejected after speeches by Clemenceau and De Mar- cese, political oponents, In coj quence of the rejection by the chi®a- ber of the vote of credit, all move- ments of troops and floet are stopped. The admiral commanding the French floet in Egyptian waters has been or- dered to maintain strict neutrality. Gambettist journals advise President Grevy to summon Brisson, president of the chamber of deputies, to form a new cabinet. It is bolieved the crisis is likely to continue several daye. SEYMOUR AWAITING ORDERS, AvrexanNoriz, July 80--Admiral Seymour on board the Helicon, has returned from Abouklr. The admiral reports he found operations actively progressing at the forts which are well armed. Nothing so yet setticd in regard to bombarding the forts, the admiral awaiting orders from home. At Suez the orders of ‘he khedive receive no support from the authorities. A British gunboat has arrived off Porte. Said RUSSIAN'S PLAN. CoNsTANTINOPLE, July 30. — A special steamer yesterday did not bring the instructions Onov, the Rus- sian representativo, was expecting. A telegram which Onov had received ir.- structed him not attend the sitting of the conference and added that further inatructions would be sent him on the 24th instant. It is thought the dis- patch will direct Oaev to attend the conference. It is belioved Russia considers the relations of England and Turkey might result in the con- clusion of an alliance, which Russia is anxious to prevent. Dervisch Pasha is designated as tho probable com- mander of the force for Egypt. 1t is expected the departure of the force will be delayed. The porte has re- quested Lord Dufforin to explain what it describes, as the extraordinary se- verity of the British at Alexandria, Doubta aro still expressed as to theac- tual departure of the Turkish expedi- tion to Ezypt. TRAVEL TO RAMLEH Avrexanoria, July 30.—-Passenger traflic was resumed Satu.day to Ram- leh, No tickets wero sold, as the stock was exhausted, but conductors collected fares from window to win. dow. Passengers were ciicfly ex- plorers who wautcd to seo whether the houses had buen looted. The home goveroment ordered Admiral Seymour to establish a censorship over cable messaget in consequence of repeated dispatches detailing accounts of the British position. DESERTING THE CITY, All regret the removal of Lord Charles Beresford from the oflice of chief police justice, He was organiz. ing a diflicult service. Major Gor- ham, who succeeds with an entirely new set of men, will 10 turn be re- moved when the army goes from the cily, and unleas a permanent chief be selocted here or sent from Eagland, disastrous results will follow. Houses that escaped pillage during and after the bombardment are now looted within sight of British bayonots, but not a man can be spared to protect thea, JH CRISIS, DE LESSEPS CONDUCT, Porr Sam, July 30.—De Lesseps, having heard that er mejesty's troop ship Orean had stopped at Ismailia and intended landing near there, Thurid iy night for that place, he is said to have declared the English should land only after passing over his dead body and that of his son Vic- tor. His course is condemued by all Europeans here. It is said De Les- seps talks of enlisting in his servics s tribe Bedouins which he claims is directed to him for the pur- pose of opposing by arms any Euro- pean intervention in this part of Egypt. Admiral Connad has tele- graphed the French government com- plaining of the behavior of Do Los- seps and stating he is encouraging the natives and increasing the general ex- citement, rendering the position mach more critical aud the admiral’s task much more difficult than it oth- erwise would be, MATTERS IN GENERAL, @The sub-governor of Port Said accompanied Cheri Pasha to Alexan- dria in order to give the khedive an account of the state of things here, The French ironclad Thetis is at Is. mailia, also the Eoglish gun boat, lying ol in she prociamation denouncing Arabi Pasha | a8 a traitor has just been plasarded here. All correspondence attivin here from the interior is opened by order of Arabi Pasha, Tt is beliovod | he has Europeans advising him, THE BEDOUINS JOIN ARABI The latest news from the interior is to the effect that the chiefs of Be douin tribes, who proviously have | favored the legitimate government, have just submitted to the rebels and perfect understanding exists betwoen them. The Bedouins are said to lave undertaken to furnish 69,000 men, the chiefs to remain as hostages in Arabi Pasha® handi THE PROPHET'S RODES, ALEXANDRIA, July 30, —Arabi Pa. sha has ordered the ~proclamation of the khedive dismissing him from the min stry to be publicly read. He s assumed the green turban and robes of a descondant of the prophet. The newa that France has aban doned co-operation with Bogland gives much satisfaction hero. The explosions heard Saturday, and which were caused by the British do- stroying cannon and powder maga- zines in the forts, came off prema- turely, injuring two seamen. TREACHEROUS TOOLS, The irritation which the Khedive naturally felt at the revelations mado him respecting Ragheb Pasha’s clan- destine proclamation has ecompelled the prime minister and his treacher- ous colleagues to abandon their course of double dealing and cast their lot with Khedive. To-day they took the decisive step by issuing an_oflicial proclamation which, though long winded and ambiguous, yet denounces Arabt Pasha as a rebel in agcordance with Admiral Seymour's letter to Knedive. This is no doubt a step in the right directions, but it would have been farmoresatisfactory had the Khedive dismissed these oreatures of Arabi altogether and surrendered himself by a body of loyal men. ‘WESTGATE A FRAUD. THE MONUMENTAL LIAR ARRESTED IN VENEZUELA, New Yok, July 30 =The Herald's Dublin cable says: Inquiies here prove conclusively that the dtory of the man Westgate, who ms to be one of the assassing of Lord ¥rederick Cavendish, has no foundation in fact. He has no alias. His real name is Westgate. He was never known by any other. On the morning of May ( Westgate, who had been loog out of work, was engaged with other men to work on the bark Ibex, which was about to sail to Swansca the same oveniyg. The Ibex loft Dublin at 7 o'clock, twenty minutes b: fors the murders were committed, and Westgate was on board some hours before. Very little importance is attached to the confession. The police are working up much better clews in Dublin. I am infosmed that Westgate did not give himself up, but on the voyage out, he made several incriminating statements, and the captain placed him in custody, and on his arrival band-d him to the Vencz uelan authorities, A STARTING INCIDENT ocourred this evening in the vecorder’s court, Dublin. A tutes w23ed Fita- patrick has brought an action for toi- tion fecs, and the recorder had dis- missed the case, remarking that he was in the habit of bringing frivolous actions, Fitzpatrick then drew a re- volver and attempted to fire at the recorder, exclaiming: ‘“By heavens, if you won't give me justice I'll have your life!” The bystanders seized his arm, and he changed the revolver to the left hand. The police sur- rounded and disarmed him. The re- volver was found to bo loaded in five chambers, and the pin for driving out the emply cartridzes was driven down into the sixth, so that it would have been impossible to discharge the we n. The incident created con- siderablo sensation, - The Campoigu in Chicago.

Tho latter mission is regarded as most im- portant. ENATOR EDMUNDS, It is rumored that Sosuator Ed- munds will resign his seat in the sen- ate after adjournment nnd devote the remainder of *his lifo to private affairs, THE The president’s messago concerning the river and harber bill will be sent to the house on Monday. He de- clines to say whether the bill will be vetoed, while admitting he will not sign the bill in its present form. Pub- lic opinton is divided whother the pro- posed message will be in the way of suggestions to save tho main foatures of the bill or an absolute veto. It in possible the message will be a vir- wial veto of the bill. Doemocrats think the veto would causo & loss of a dozen congressmen to the republicans this fall. THE CABIN At a spucial meeting of the cabinet yesterday afternoon it was decided to veto the river and harbor bill. The messago explaining the action of the president will be forwarded to con- gress Monday. COMMITTEE WORK, House judiciary committee heard the argument of J. M. Wilson against the forfeiture of the Texas Pacific land grants. The house foreign conmittes considered the draft of the report by Chairman Williams on the Chili-Peru investigation. EXCHANGE OF BONDS, Postmaster General Howe and Scc- retary Folger have a:ciptad the suggestions that boxes be placad in postoffises, in which bonds for ex- change could bo placed and marked “10 o'clock.” They have orderod that boxes be placed 1u the leading of- fices, and persons present ab that hour can depoeit their bonds, COMING VETO, ST DECISION, HOOPER'S FOOTPRINTS, Capt. Hooper, of the revenue cut- ter Corwin, who covered himself with 80 much glory about & year sinco by his scarch for missing whalers and the ill fated DeLong and others of the Jeanuette expedition, is just now in disgraco, Very sorious chargoes are made against him by special agents of the treasury departmont. Tt is alleg- ed that he combined business with his search to an extent that is unpar- donable, Among other things said of him is that he put in to a number of ports in Alaska and other places where there were indian camps and traded fire arms, sugar and other goods for furs, ivory and whalebone, using gov- ernment funds to make purchascs. At St. Pauls lsland he boughe a large quantity of scal akizg and robos for twolve dollars and a half, eich, which ho af srwards sold at Sin Fean ciseo for one hundred dollars making sevoral thousand doilars by the operation, Though he covered up his transactions in a rather thorough manner, they were discovered, The trensury department has placed Hoo- por under waitng orders and ho is now here to fix the matter up, A BONANZA FOR BETTERS, Spoaker Keifer says the president will not veto the river and harbor bill, Others who have talked to the presi- dent say he will, Butting men are betting heavily that the veto will be sont in to-morrow. According to the information obtainable here to-night it is safe t) assert that the bill will be vetoed unless there is supplemental legislation of some kind which will give the executive unquestionable con- trol of the expenditure made in the ball, THE WORKINGMEN IN POLITICH, In an address just issued by the na tional leration of Labor unions they say in referénce to congressm “T¢ is of the greatest importance that candidates for the next congress of all parties should be called upon to clear ly define their position on the great question of capital and labor before election day.” The workingmen huve also called a convention to meet in Washington Novembor 15th, GERANT ON THE JAPAN INDEMNITY, Ropresentative Williams, chairman of the house committee on foreign af- fairs has received a letter from Gen- | that government, Japan of the indemnity exacted from He says ho verily mnity to have been od anc shonld never collected. Having been collected it should now be refunded. He closes the letter by expressing the hope that the matter will be finally creditably sottled before congress ad- journs, THE GREAT QUESTION. believes the inc improperly exac have beon WHEN WILL CONGRESS GO HOME -~ WHAT WILL BECOM THE RIVER AND HARBOR DIVIDE Wa hington Special to the Chicago Tribune Tho two questions which are now most prominently discussed by con- gressmen outside the senato are whether thy prosident will veto the river and harbor bill; and the time of adjournment. The action of the house in adjourning was intendod in part as a notification to the senate that the house is ready to finally ad- journ, and only awaits the action of the senate upon the remaining appro- priation bills, Gentlemen in charge of the apppropriations in the house say it will be very important that ¢he senate SHALL ADJOURN BY FRIDAY, as it probably will be impossible to transact any businoss in the house after Wednesday, excopt by unani- mous consent, as a quorum is not likoly to be here. Tudeed, to-day, on the only roll call that was had in the house, but just a quorum voted. Sen- ator Allison, chairman of the senate appropriations commitiee, said to-day it would not be possible to keep the senatora here later than a week from Monday; which would bs August 7ch, but that’ the greatest possible effort will be made to secure an adjourn- ment by Friday of next woek, 1f pos- sible, and, at the latest, Suturday. THE CABINET held a long session to'day on the Riv- or and Harbor bill; but reached no conelusion. The subject will be fuc- ther considered tomorrow. Moan- while the members of the House will undoubtedly use their best efforts to induca the President to recomsidsr his well known purpise of veto g the bill, Many of them are contident to-night that they will suceeed. Page, MeMillan, and Townsend called upon the President after the Cabinet meot- ing, and had a Jong interviow. They expressed the opinion that thy bill would not bs votond, whatever might be done with it, But they were not able to state that the Prosident said h which would warrant them in saying absolutaly that the bill would not be vetoed. AT THE CABINET M NG two propositions were considered: 1. If the bill should be approved, would not the party suffor in viev of the very general opposition to the bili throughout the country? In other words, could the bill be signed and the ill-political effects which it seems likely would follow be avoided? 2. Could a message similar to the one sent in by Gen. Grant be pre- pared, stating that the President would expend the money in his dis- cretion. Against this it was urged that a 50 per cent scahwg, like the Morrill amendment would apply also to the insignificant streams, vflwfi, the Prosident thinksyit would be uncon. atitutional to fmprove—which are n?t' in the constitutional sense navigable, No conclusion was reached. IT WAS EVIDENT that the presideat’s first impulse is to veto the bill. But he wishes to save the Mississippi improvement and the Potomac flats and does not wish to offend his political friends, An analysis of the bill shows that, while this is the larzest river and harbor bill that was over passed, the amount is not justly disteibuted, The north- west gots rolatively less than the south and other portions of the country. The Mississip- pi and Missourt rivers and their tributaries get $6 680,000, The New England States got but little - and senate, relating to refunding to tions bill. Senator Ingalls made a fierce attack upon the manner mone; had been oxpended upon the Imnclur, Puritan, Terror, Amphitrite and Man- adnock. Senator Beck offered an amend- ment tha' no work bo done upon those vessals beyond launching without ex- plicit authority of congress, and pro- viding for survey by the naval board to report to congress in Dacember, The clause in the bill abolishing the rank of commodore was struck out, 27 to 22, A clause was adopted requiring that the findings of the retiring board be approved by the president. An amendment was adopted probibiting the salo of condemned stores and supplies and requiring a report of the same to be made to congress, The bill will bedebated under the five minute rule until 3 o’clock Monday, aud all votes on amendments and on the bill will then be taken.
