When the boat landed it was seized by a body of soldiers bear- ing a flag of truce, who marched the whole party off to the fort, where they remain as prisoners, A GOOD-NATURED CONFERENCE. CoNsTANTINOPLE, August 7.—It is believed that the question of proclaim- ing Arabi a rebel 1s now 1in a fair way of being arranged. The greatest good humor prevailed on all sides at the sit- ting of the conference, and the coun- cil presents the appearance of eight reunited friends, rather than a meet- ing of stateamen. Their labor is often lightened by little jokes and even playful badinage. AN ALLIANCE CERTAIN. CoNBTANTINOPLE, August 7.—The prospects of coming to a satisfactory arrangemement with the porte are un- diminished as Said Pasha, the Turkish rime minister, is convinced that the ritish alliance must be maintained. This is the best reason to believe that the military convention will be con- cluded.

ENGLAND'S REAL INTENTIONS, The under foreign secretary reply- ing to various questions, said noTurk- ish troops had gone to Alexandria, Those which had been dispatched only went as far as COrete. Negotiations in regard to Turkish intervention in Egypt had not yet reached a stage en- abling any statement to be made in parliament, The conference will have no control over England’s actions at Suez or at any other point where British troops are in occupation b, virtue of the Khedive's proposal. Measures before the conferance are ls for the safety of the rd Dafferin had been in- structed if an agreement is reached it will be only a temporary incident to the present situation, No ultimation was sent the sultan, OFPOSITION TO THE TURKS, The Times says it believes it repre- sents the matured opinion of the na- tlon in protesting against the Turks being permitted to come to Egypt, no matter what restriotions they may ul- timately consent to, A TRUE PATRIOT, Paris, August 7.—Louis Michael, addressing a socialist meeting this evening, qfuku of Arab.

Defense objected because the contract spoken of was not in- cluded in the indictment. Merrick moved that all of the evidence taken relative to the Redding-Alturas route be stricken out, because mno action had boen taken toward expediting thit route. In answer to Ingersoll Judge Wylie said it seemed to him the evidence had been offered to show there was a case or two where they (the defend. ante) had not done the thing with which they were charged, but a man's good action could not be an offset agatnat his bad action. Tngersoll den- ied such was their object. In his opinion Brady's rofusal to grant this expedition was a bad act, for it nec sary. Court said then he had disre- arded the public needs and should have been dismissed. The whole trouble appeared to have risen from a misunderstanding of evidence on his part vhen it was offered, He would accordingly allow the evidence alread. taken to remain and would also ad- mit an additional paper (an afidavit) presented by Bliss.
