THE NEWS.

Intelligence by Wire from AQ the WarkL rOBEIGH. Germany has proposed a plan for the settlement of the Koumelian problem, which Is said to have been sanctioned by Russia, Austria, and England. It contemplates, among other things, the recognition of the union between Bulgaria and Roumelia under Prince Alexander, the latter to acknowledge the Sultan's sovereignty: the rejection of the Greek and Servian demands, and the

moral support of Turkey in resisting any attempt to enforce them. Active military preparations are in progress m Greece and Servia, and the war fever in both countries runs high. Mr. Gladstone has written a letter approving the Bulgarian union. Floods in the valleys of Switzerland have destroyed a large amount of property and caused the loss of a number of lives. France and Germany hare come to an agreement regarding the proposed settlement of the Bulgarian troubles. A "rent warner" who was found dead in the highway near Tralee, Ireland, la supposed to have been murdered. Mr. Herbert Gladstone, In an address at London, declared that his father was in favor of excluding Bishops from the House

of Lords. The municipal authorities of Marseilles demanded the expulsion of the Orteanist Princes from France, and that an attempt to restore the monarchy be declared treason, with death as the penalty. King Theebaw has made an arrogant and insulting reply to the note of the Chief Commissioner for British Burmah, asking a suspension of the decree confiscating the property of the Bombay and Burmah Trading Company. Preparations are making in Up

per Burmah for vigorous resistance w any attempt at coercion by the Indian Goveriiraert. The Porte has disavowed the union of Bulgaria and Roumelia, and advices from Constantinople say the Saltan has determined to fight against a further dismemberment of Turkey. Large bodies of troops are being rapidly concentrated on the frontier withineasy striking distance of Bulgaria, Greece, and Servia. Troops, horses, and field guna are being dispatched to tie front night and

day. The Moslems are enthusiastic bob volunteering in large numbers. PERSONAL. Thai-ton Crocker, of the Central Pacific

He was a classmate of Carl Scburz, and is master of several languages. A number of letters from Ralph Waldo Emerson to Thomas Carly le have been stolen, and the pnblie are cautioned against the pur

chase of the same. Mr. Robert T. Lincoln, formerly Secretary of War, says that President Arthur offered Col. Fred Grant a place In the army, and that the latter declined, giving as the reasons for doing so that to accept would seem to be putting himself beyond the reach of those who might have claims upon him aa creditors, and this he would not do. Dominlek McCaffrey, the pugilist, of PMladelnhla. has fallen heir to aa estate of

about 910,000, bequeathed by an uncle In Australia. Gen. Wililam Howard Irwin, formerly of Gen. Hancock's staff, now residing at LoufsTiOe, Ky., has becoe insane! He is 05 years flML Mr. H. W.

riKAHOIAL AHB IEDUSTRIAL.

The Department of Agriculture reports at Washington that the yield or wheat per acre for the area harvested ta iai.4 hnsbels. and onlt 9 on the area sown,

which was nearly 40.800,001 acres. The area harvested will not exceed 34,000,000 acres. Corn The indications point to a yle'd Of 26'5 bushels per acre, which would give a yield of l,9e,O0O,OO9 bushels. Oats The crop exceeds 000,000,000 bushels. Cotton The condition of cotton has dropped from 87 to T8 per cent. The rye average la 10.4 bushels, nearly S bushels short of the yield of 1884. The average yield of barley win tin atwnt 23 bushels per acre. The con

dition of potatoes has seriously declined on account of the prevalence of rot In New York, Michigan, and elsewhere. The decline from Sept. 1 was 11 points.

The output of flour at Minneapolis last week reached 171,108 barrels 43 barrels In

excess of the previous week's production, which was the greatest on record. During the first two months of the current fiscal year the internal revenue receipts were less by $1,146,327 than during ,h nrresBonduur period of the proceeding

fiscal year. The falling oft is confined to the tax on distilled spirits, and Is attributed to the seven months extension of toe bonded period ordered by Secretary McCuiloch last winter. The total values of exports of domestic oreadstuffs from the Tnited States during the month of September, 1885, and during the three and eight months ending Sept. 20. 1883. as compared with the corresponding periods of the preceding year, were as follows: September, 18.15, 0,067, 7-M): 1884, $13,3 1.358.
