France and China Again Nego- tiating for Satisfactory Terms of Peace. o A Large Variety of General Foreign News, EL MAHDI'S MAROCH, A FRENCHMAN IN IT. Paris, Nov. 23.—The Temps says a Frenchman named Solmer organized the forces of EI Mahdi, Solmer, after the bombardment of Alexandria, went to Khartoum with a definite object and sub- sequently met El Mahdi, gaining his confidence. ORDERS TO THE Carro, Nov. 23.—Orders were sent the British admiral at East India sta- tion to support Egyptian interests in the Red Sea. He will be reinforced by gun- boats of the Mediterranean squadron, PREDICTING DISASTER, Viexsa, November 23.—The Presse publishes a recent letter from Major Seckendorf, with Hicks Pasha, Secken- do'rf depicts the misery of the troops ow- ing to the scarcity of water. Mahdi, he wrote, possessed 15,000 breech-loading rifles, 14 guns and numerous excellent cavalry,and adherents possessed of fanati- cism, and would fearlessly ride to death. Hicks Pasha has 10,000 men, 6,000 cam- els and many pack horses and mules. The baggage proved a great impediment. The letter concludes: ‘‘If our cavalry suffices for outpost duty, success is pos- sible; otherwise the issue will be very disastrous. 1f we are defeated not a soul will return, and the entire Soudan will be irretrievably lost, since all the natives will believe Mahdi thejMessiah. THE WHOLE COUNTRY IN ARMS, Carro, November 23.—Col. Coettogan, with Hicks Pasha, sent a telegram from Khartoum to Gen. Sir Evelyn Wood, contirming the previous reports of the disaster to Hicks Pasha's army, He says the whole country has risen. ~ The gov- eenment asked Baker Pasha to send 1Q00 gendarmes to Suakim to help clear the desert, but Baker refused to send them, thinking they were required in upper Egypt. It is stated that Turkey offered to send 20,000 troops to re-estab lish" Musselman authority in Soudan. Intense excitement prevails everywhere FLEET, in Egypt. The country is not safeabove the second cataract of the Nile. The Khedive has orderel the evacua- tion of the military posts on the Blue Nile and White Nile. Troops from posts on the’ former will be massed in Sennaar and those from posts on the latter at Khartoum. The three principal officers at Khartoumn have been ordered to consult and adopt defensive measures. 1f necessary Sennaar will be abandoned and troops massed at Khartoum. JOY IN FRANCE. Paris, November 23.—The French press now expresses delight at the defeat of Hicks Pasha,because it is said the suc- cess of the Musselman barbariansin Egypt threatens England’s Indian empire, and France, by force of events, will be called upon to resume her old position in Egypt. i TLoxvox, November & ty's gunboat Joquette Red sca. ,—Her majes- ordered to the MAHDI'S EMISSARY, Camo, November 23.—A telegram from Power, European artist, who was with Hicks Pasha’s expedition at Khar- toum, reports the first attack by the Egyptian army successful, Not_ until the enemy belicved to be routed, did Hick Pasha accept the guidance of an emissary of Mahdi, who led the army in- toa waterless defile, where it was anni- hilated. A SEVERE CRITIC, The French newspaperBosphore Egyp- tiene has an article reflecting bitterly on the past and present action of England in Ezypt. It insinuates that the victory of Tel-El-Kebir was won by bribery, blimes England for the bloodshed in ~Soudan, and hopes the English staff will have the grace to disappear and no lenger thwart the Egytian minister of war, DE LESSEPS' OPINION, Loxpox, 23, —De Lesseps is' of the opinion, that the uprising of Mahdi and his fellowerers is not danger- ous, He says if left alone he do.s not think Mahdi would get far enough north to trouble the Suez canal. Assouan he mys must be strongly fortified and guarded as that is the most important point at this junction, He thinks it would be very unwise tosend English troops to Soudan as they can not stand the climate, A PAINFUL Benruiy, Novembe ~The defeat of Hicks Pasha by the Egyptian rebels caused a painful sensation here, as eight German officers were with the Fgyptian expedition, It is the unanimous opinion that England cannot withdraw her forces from Egypt, and that she must avenge the murder of Commander Moncreiff, Consul Saulim, and others, who were act- ive opponents of the slave trade, THE CONDITION OF THINGS IN EGYPT, Loxnox, November 23.—The Egypt- ian government favors sending a strong force to Khartoun for the purpose of opening the road between Soakam and Berder and thus maintaining communi- cation with Khartoum, Edward 0'Donovan, corrospondent of the Daily News, recontly wrote' a private letter saying he had misgivings of the result of the Soudan expedition.. The Daily News in discussing Egyp- tian affairs insists that the khedive must surrender the idea of attempting to reach El Obeid or pursuing an aggressive con- flict with El Mahdi, and says the game of conquest in Central Africa s not worth either the great pecuniary cost or torri- rible risk of human life involved. The Morning post says: We aro struck with amazement at the singular short- sightedness and want of prescience ex- hibited by her majesty’s government in wishing to withdraw British troops from Egypt at such a_juncture. he Standard submits that it is quite clear this is no time to withdraw troops from Egypt. The Daily Telegraph thinks British military prestige alone can arrest the pro- gress of El Malndi's army. The Times says, *‘We cannot believe Gladstone will wilfully and blindly per- st in weakening the small British force now in Egypt. The broad highway of the Nile valloy is now open to the viotor- ious fanatic. What is there to pre- vent thv garrison and population at advanced posts from yielding to the temptations of El Mahdi. Gladstone and his colleagnes must understand that Eng. land will hold them answerable if by furthor orrors of judgment Kgypt is al- lowed to relapse into anarchy aggravated by the passions of religious fanaticism and the maddening influence of invasion by the barbarism of interior Africa. poled-si SPAIN AND GERMANY. THE CROWN PRINCE IN MADRID, Mabvrio, November 23.—The crown prince of Germany arrived at noon. The stroets'were crowded and many houses were gayly decorated.

King Alfonso, wearing the uniform of a Colonel of the GGerman Uhlans, met the prince when he alighted from the train. Besides notable persons there was a dep utation of German residents carrying banners, King Alfonso and the prince cordially embraced and kissed each other and after a few moments talk both entered a carriage drawn by fonr horses, with postillion and outriders and drove to the palace, escorted by a detachment of the royal horse guards. ‘The prince’s suite with spanish officers and oicials brilliantly uniformed folloved in 6 carriages. Al along the route the populace dispiayed respectful sympathy. Hats were often raised, in some places cheers given for the prince. At the palace ex-Queen Isabella and infantas Isabel and Eulalie welcomed the visitor who was then conducted with great state to his apartments.

New Yorx, Nov., 23,—=Another chap- ter has been added to *he histery of the coupon frauds in the fifhnce department of the city government by which the city was swindled out of $120,000. In- spector Byrnes arrested Thos. Enos on the charge of receiving stolen goods. Enos has been regarded as a gentleman of means. He was an intimate friend of Mr. Wm. B, Carroll, late coupon clerk of the finance department, through whose deals the frauds were brought *to light. Enos was the man who sold the coupons. It is supposed ho roceived the coupons from Carroll and perhaps also some from others in the comptroller's oflice whose names have not been made public. The police followed Enos two months before the capture, Inspector Byrnes says there is now a fair prospect that all wuailty persons will be brought to justico. Carroll shared the proceuds of the salo of the coupons with Enos. Others doubt- lezs received a share, and in the course of time will be found, out. Enos said nothing regerding the mattér. He is 27 years old, and was nover connected with any public ~ office. The Michigan Murder.

He further claims hearing a ery of *'Oh!” but heard no fiving, The former story is highly iprobable. Some time ago his brother was discharged by White, and a quarrel ensued. Boles' brother threatened to kill White with an iron bar, The sheriff is hunting forhim, On the night of the 22d two clerks from Jackson, coming from a wed- ding in Concord, say they saw three men standing by the roadside near, crouching, The report now is that the family drank cider before retiring, and believe it was drugged, The quantity remain- ing in the pitcher has been sent to Amn Arbor for analysis, Should it prove to be drugged, the stomachs of tho victims will be removed and examin- ed, The ball taken from Crouch's head this morning was found somowhat batter- od, but proved to be 82 calibre.

STAGNATING POOLS, Too Much Harmony and High Rates Threatens the Peace and Pros- perity of Western Roads. The Slaughter of Prices From Chicggo to Salt Lake Con= tinues Uncheoked. The lowa Pool Dritting on the Rocks of Dissolu m (. Disaster. RAILROAD MATTERS, THE COLORADO POOL, Desven, Nov. 23.—The passenger agents of the Colorado pool this evening closed a highly satisfactory meeting. While the matters considered were of no special interost to the public, yet the ut- most harmony prevailed. Regarding tho rumors rife in the ecast of the probable disruption of the Colorado pool, Com- missioner Daniels says the pool is in no special danger. Too much money is in- volved in it and the property of Colorado is too intimately asseciated with the pool to make its dissolution at all probable. He admits however that the rate war in the Towa pool, which is rumored soon o b inaugurated, and the present war in Utah rates, if long continued, may eventually disturb tho rates to Colorado, THE 10WA POOL, Onrcaco, November 23.—The Mil- waukeo & St. Paul and Central Iowa ronds gave notice in lotters to passenger agents interested in their lines of their intention to withdraw from the agroe- ment made November 10th to maintain passenger rates from Des Moines at the expiration of thirty days from November 20th, The general passenger agent of the St. Paul road says in his letter this action does not mean war, but the intention of the road is to be able to meet violations of the spirit of the agreement constantly being made at that place. To the Central lowa notifieation is a postscript to the effect that, nov being a Des Moines road, it is difficult to see why it is in the agreement at all,.and as the ‘‘Diagonal” road will probably be in that fplace early in De- cember, the Central Iowa will be forced to look to its own interests, and adds that it has no intention of cutting rates. ANOTHER CUT. Cmicaco, November 23.—It is re- ported hero a war on freight rates be- tween the Missouri river and Salt Lake contiuues, The regular rate of three dollars was cut to fity cents. SLASHING RATE SaLe Lake, November 23.—A promi- nent official of the Denver & Rio Grande says the war of his rond and the Umion Pacific on Utah freight will continue till fifty per centof the pooling arrangements is conceded. That, he believes, the Union Pacific will soon give, because the earnings show a_disastrous decrease by the inroads of other roads in its territory that it cannot hold out much longer.

The Bankruptcy Question, Bosron, November, 23, —A largely at- tended meeting of the Boston bank presi- dents’ association was held last night,and the subject of the promotion of the speedy passage of an equitable and uni- form national bunkrupt law was discussed.

NATIONAL BANK STATISTICS, The second chapter of Comptroller Knox’s report shows 262 national banks organized for the year ending November first, the largest number organized since 1860. Of these 132 were in the western states, 40 in the middle states, 36 in the southern states, 11 fin the Pacific states, 206 in the territories and only 7 in the castern states. The namber of national banks in operation November first was 2,622, the largest number in operation at any one time. The resources of 2,501 national banks on October second, 1883, were $2,372,700,000. Since the last re- port 11linois has advanced from thesixth to the fifth place in national bank ecapital, Kentucky displaced New Jersey and Minnesota is ntbw the fourteenth state, taking the place of Vermont and displac- ing Towaand New Hampshire. 1In tho next two years the charters of 976 banks will expire, having a capital of $185,- 835,000. The lven‘g,:“r;.te of interest paia by the U. 8 on | deposited as aacuri% of circulating notes is about 34 per cent on par value, but equal to 3-19 per cent only of current market value. Half the bonds now held by national banks are 3 per cents and all are likely to be called within the next three years. Those lower numbers which, it is safe to estimate, will not be called the next two- years, cannot be purchased for a pre- mium much less than,2 per cent, and at that price there will be & loss upon cir- culation basis on this class of bonds,if re- deemed within three years. Total amount of bonds held by national, state and saving banks, November 1st, $621,- 29,269, or nearly half the interest-bear- ing debt of the country, The comptrol- ler says the section of the revised strtutes which places restrictions upon loans ¢ s | should bo s0 amended as to exclude from throughout the United States and Canada limitation mentioned legitimate loans upon produce or warehouse receipts, and some other classes of collateral security, as well as loans upon United States bonds. : —— 000 Verdict.
