THE LATEST FOREIGN NEWS. Rumor that the Great Powers Have Agreed as to the Bulgarian Question. Russia Yields Her Plan of Action, and Matters Will Be Settled on the Basis of the Treaty of Berlin—Notes by Cable. THE BULGARIAN TROUBLE. Russia Yields, aud an Effort If ill Be Made to Secure a Peaceful Settlement. London, Sept 14— A dispatch from Vienna to the Times says there are rumors in diplomatic circles at tho Austrian capital that recent negotiations between the three Emperors have resulted favorably, and that there are now good prospects for an agreement shortly between Russia, Germany and Austria, relative to common action in Bulgaria In regard to the immediate future, the dispatch says it is stated that Russia has yielded her plan of proceeding alone in Bulgaria, and intends now to treat the whole question on the basis of the treaty of Berlin and submit to the consideration of Europe. The powers, replying to the Porte's protest aeaiost any foreign occupation of Bulgaria, declare that there will be no foreign intervention in Bulgaria. . Russia gives guarantees to that effect The Bulgarian Sobranje, has elected M. Givkoff President It has also appointed committees to draft a reply to the address of the government, and to devise and submit measures relative to the state of siege which the country ia in, and for the settlement gos Prince Alexander's property in the country. The state will purchase all this property for $400,000, retaining $200,000 of this sum to liquidate the Prinee’s indebtedness to the national bank, This year’s budget calls for $10,000,000. The Porte has informed the Bulgarian government that Turkey accepts Prince Alexander's abdication, and promises sot to occupy Bulgaria so long as the country is quiet and law and order are preserved therein. In regard to Prince Alexander's abdication, Under Secretary Ferguson, in the House of Commons, said the government possessed no official information which would justify them in stating that the Czar compelled the Prince to abdicate He, therefore, could not make a similar assumption. The seizure and abdication of the Prince, he said, were due to a mutiny on the part of the Bulgarian army. At the same time, the Under Secretary added, the government would decline to lay before the House the negotiations in progress relative to the Bulgarian crisis, for the reason that publicity would serve no good purpose, bat, on the contrary, might do harm. The regency of Bulgaria, he said, were foliowing constitutional forms, aud all parties in the country appeared determined to cooperate for peace. Prince Alexander has telegraphed to the Bulgarian government thanking the Deputies of the Assembly and the officers of the army for celebrating his name-day by sending him congratulations and by other observations. Tho London Morning Post says: “Germany has asked Russia for a pledge that she will not interfere in Bulgaria nor increase the irritation in the Balkans. Russia stipulates that, if luch a pledge is given, Germany and Austria shall hot sanction the re-election of Alexander to the Bulgarian throne by the powers.” PARNELL'S LAND BILL. Fall Text of the Measure to Which Churchill Has Agreed. London, Sept. 24 —The following is the actual text of Mr. Parnell’s bill: Whereas, Having regard to the groat depreciation in prices of agricultural produce since tho greater number of judicial rents of the tenancies in Ireland subject to tho statutory conditions were fixed, it is expedient to make a temporary provision for the relief in certain cases of the tenants of %uch holdings, and also to provide for the admission of certain leaseholders to benefit of the- provisions of the land act of 1881, be it therefore enacted as follows: First —In case of any holding snbject to the statutory conditions within meaning of the land act of 1881. where the statutory term was fixed prior to the 31st of December, 1884. if on application of the tenant of such holding it is proved to the satisfaction of the Irish Land Commissioner, hereafter called “the court,” that half the rent ordinarily payable in the year 1886 in respect to such holdings, and half any antecedent arrears have been paid, and that the tenant is unable to discharge the remainder of sneh rent or arrears without loss of such holding, or deprivatioa of the means necessary to its cultivation and the stocking thereof, the court may make an order for such abatement of rent of such holding as may seem to them jnst and expedient Such abatement shall apply to rent ordinarily payable in the year 1886, to antecedent arrears thereto, if any. and to the rent which would have been payable in the following years. Seonnd —The- lessee of any holding who, at tbs expiration of any lease existing at the passing of the land act of 1881, would be deemed to he a tenant of the present ordinary tenancy from year to year at rent and subject to the conditions of the lease, shall, from and after the passing of this act, and notwithstanding that such a lease has not expired, be deemed to be a tenant of a present tenancy at the present rent mentioned in such lease and holding, and shall be subject to all the provisions §f said act of 1881 with regard to the present tenancies. Third—Whore any proceedings for recovery of rent of holding to which this act applies, or for the recovery of such holding for non-payment of rent, have been taken, before or after an application under thie act in respect to such holding, and are pending before such application is disposed of. the court before which proceedings are pending shall, on payment into court of one-half of the rent due, suspend or postpone such proreeding until the application under this act is disposed of.

Talk In the Lobby of the Commons. London, Sept. 14.—1 tis stated in the lobby of the House of Commons that the alterations made at the last moment in Mr. Parnell’s land bill have only served to increase ths government’s dislike of the measure; also, that all the members of the Conservative party, and about a dozen Liberal Unionists, who still remain in town, will oppose the second read.ng of the bill. The members on the front opposition bench observe reticence on the subject It is rumored that Mr. Gladstone will not support Mr. Parnell’s bill oa account of the clause relating to leaseholders. On the other hand, a usually well Informed gentleman says the ex-Premier will support the bill; that he is in constant communication with Mr. Parnell, and that he approves the bill as finally drafted. The Radicals have decided to support Mr. Parnell. They argue that ths bill will have a most beneficial effect on social order in Ireland, which, if nothing is done to relieve the tenants, will go from bad to worse, the probable result being a renewal of coercion. Radicals insist that the first condition of any plan for dealing with Ireland must be no co ereion, and that logically, therefore, thev must -upport Mr. Parnell It is stated that Sir Wm. Vernon-Harcourt and Mr. John Moriey intend to speak in favor of Mr. Parnell's bilL FOREIGN MISCELLANY. ’ather Faliy Transferred to Galway—Rioting Growing Out of Hie Arrest.

The crowd, numbering several thousand, scattered in all directions, and many were trampled upon and severely hurt Some of the police were badly cut with stones. A Morganatic Marriage. Paris, Sept 14.—1 t has just been learned on unquestionable authority that the Due d’Au* male, on the eve of his expulsion from France, was married morganatically to Mile. De Clinchamp, the governante, or, in plain English, the housekeeper of the Chateau of Chantilly. His highness had requested Mile. De Ctinchamp to accompany him in his exile. She made their marriage a sine qua non of acceptance. The ceremony, which has been kept a profound secret, and has not yet been mentioned in any newspaper, was performed by the Bishop of Beauvais. Better Feeling Between Berlin and Paris. Berlin, Sept. 14—The French government, during the last few days, has given Germany such satifactory assurances that the tension caused by the actions of Gen. Boulanger and the French Chauvinists has almost entirely vanished, and the relations between the Paris and Berlin government are consequently more cordial than they have been for a long time past. England Asked to Evacuate Egypt. Paris, Sept 14,—The Republique Francalse states that the Sultan demands the evacuation of Egypt by the English, and that Rnssia supports the Turkish demauds. Cable Notes. Mr. Gladstone has gone to Meran. Eight cases of Asiatic cholera have occurred at Pesth, and three of the patients have died.

Y., a carpenter, twenty-eight years of age, was run over and killed by a freight train near the junction of the Falls and Central roads, yesterday. E. H. Brown, manager of the Western Union Telegraph Company at St. Louis, has gone to Canada. Superintendent Baker says that Mr. Brown’s return will depend upon the result of an investigation of his accounts now being made. Dr. Charles W. Paine, proprietor of a medical and surgical institute at Grand Rapids, Mich., committed suicide on Monday by taking morphine. The supposed cause is desponde acy at finding himself disinherited by his father, who recently died in New York. John I. Blair and other capitalists interested in the Northwestern and Oregon Pacific roads, recently went to the summit of the Cascade range and discovered a practicable pass for a railway, the highest elevation being five thousand feet It is predicted that the roads above named will within two years be connected in Idaho. Lewis Apple, editor of the Panora, la., Vidette, shot himself through the head with a revolver, in a lumber-yard at Panora, and died shortly after. Ho had been in poor health for some time and had family troubles, culminating in the death of his wife three months ago. He bought flowers at the State fair last week with which to decorate his own grave.

LABOR AND LABORERS. Failure of Political Labor Movements—Opportunities in the South-for Mechanics. Philadelphia Record. A crank political labor movement has been started by the conference which met recently at Indianapolis, Ind. The next conference is to take plnce in Cincinnati on the 2d of next February. Its failure is visible on its face, and all such efforts must fail until men of brains and broad views, holding the confidence of the people, shall be led together by tbe force of outside circumstances. This movement is simply by way of pre-emption. A certain class of people are expecting a great upheaval, and they want to keep themselves in organized shape in order to boss the movement when it comes. There are many reasons for believing that the wealth producers will sooner or later move in organized capacity to better their condition by the enforcement of reforms and the establishment of principles in government and in social economy which are not now recognized. But when the time comes for such action it will not be managed or dieted by three, six or nine tailors of Tooley street The outside world can afford to stand off and smile and wait The National Federation of Miners has added one more to its several recent mistakes iD endeavoring to run a separate organization, but its action was to be anticipated, considering the selfish outside interests which dictate the course of the miners. The necessity for anew labor paper has been recognized by the Knights of Labor for many years. It was stated iu this column some three or four weeks ago that the matter was under consideration. It is a strange but true commentary that there is but one labor paper in the country worthy of the name, and that that is published in New York. The bulk of the rest are of a mendicant, tramp-like character, containing from one year’s end to the other tbe same blood-curdling tales of poverty, discontent, sickness and strike agitations, with the usual rehash of cheap, so called arguments in favor of labor organization. The great hulk of the waeeworkers are more intelligent than their labor editors. The editors do the best they know how, and now and again they show a streak of genuine originality, hut it is like a flash of lightning in the dark. The Knights may never start a paper and never will if the opposition of the labor editors can prevent it. They recoguize their unfitness, but dread to see an able paper with the backing of a mighty organization. Mechanics with small amounts of capital should watch the developing opportunities in the far West and in the South. Southern papers give accounts of the successful building up of certain industries in small Southern towns. In Birmingham, Ala., business sites which could be had for next to nothing, in fact had no market value, now sell at SI,OOO. Within three years fifty Western mechanics have established themselves in business in northern Alabama, and have laid their foundations for a great growth. There are opportunities in the far West for mechanics of small means, such as founders, machinists, tool makers and repairers, and the like. Anew coal bed bas been discovered seventeen miles south of Denver, where there are fifteun feet of good coal. This supply will help to encourage the establishment of small industries, which heretofore have developed slowly on account of the want of coal. Coal development is reported in over a dozen States. A firm in Kentucky is putting in SIOO,000 in mines at Madisonvilie. New mines are being opened near Pocahontas, W. Va. A company has just started at Robbins, Tenn., and will be shipping 200 cars per week by Jan. 1. A company has been organized to work the Black Htllacoalof Dakota. A syndicate has bought 11,500 acres of coal at Corona, Ala. Another syndicate has pat up $500,000 to operate coal and

iron mines in the Cumberland Gap, Kentucky. A St, Louis company has bought several thousand acres of magnetic ore land near Knoxville, Tenn., and a syndicate has jnst purchased a large solid body of coal and timber land in East Tennessee. A Cleveland syndicate controls 150,000 acres of valuable ore land in Canada, which ia being developed to meet any possible demand. Pennsylvania iron-makers, coal miners and lumber manufacturers are leading all others in the hunting up and developing of new sources of raw material. It would be mere guess work to say how much money has gone from Pennsylvania into other States, hat it runs into millions. The urgent demand for pipe has led some Pittsburg manufacturers into a scheme to erect extensive pipe works near Birmingham, Ala. Stove works are to be erected there which will turn out 200 stoves per day. Nearly all the railroad companies which have lines passing through that section will have repair shops at that point. Perry, the Albany stove manufacturer, who has been worried almost to degthby strikes, will put $200,000 into a stove foundry there. A bridge-building firm in St. Louis has recently secured contracts for the building of seven bridges in Missouri, and a kettle-making firm there has just contracted to make a 40,000pound kettle. It will be twenty-five feet high. Another St. Louis firm has a contract for 3,000 feet of belting to run the machinery of a national industrial exhibition in Copenhagen, Denmark. American cutlery manufacturers should take note that the Sheffield exports for the second quarter of the year to the United States amounted to over $600,000. The Sheffield manufacturers are receiving increased orders from America. Even the steelmakers made and sold nearly 100,000 tons of steel more during the first six months of this year than la6t year. Buyers of tin plates, whose bill runs up to pretty nearly $18,000,000 per annum, will be glad to know that the Welsh tin-plate-makers contemplate a coalition, as they call it there, by which agencies will be opened indifferent American cities, so that they can sell their tin plate direct to the consumer. They complain that the middle men are making too much profit, but they do not say whether they will give, the consumer the benefit or pocket it themselves. Manufacturers outside of the natural gas belt in western Pennsylvania are preparing to spend some money in boring. In one well in the Sheffield. Pa., district the gas shows a velocity of over 2,000 feet per second in a four-inch pipe. The waste of natural gas fuel is so great that the recommendation has been made that the State take control of it Fifteen thousand acres of land have been leased near Chattanooga by Pennsylvania capitalists, who will begin to bore for oil and eas at once. Boring is to be begun at Cumberland, Md. The Columhia Gas Company, of Ohio, are working three gangs of mep to lay twenty miles of pipe which they have on hand. Another strong gas well has been struck in the middle of the Ohio river, eight millfe below Pittsburg. The Lawrence Natural Gas Company, with a capital of $1,000,000, will lay about fifty miles of pipe in western Pennsylvania and eastern Ohio, connecting several manufacturing cities aud towns. Some New England manufacturing companies have determined to divert a portion of their capital into building houses for operatives and renting them at a reasonable rent. This is a movement that is likely to become general. The New England companies have been increasing their capacity beyond immediate requirements, and are complaining of the narrow margins realised. They thiuk that they can make 10 per cent on their building investments. The work people of New England have been backward in the matter of house-building, and do not catch on to our building and loan assocition idea. Their employers must do for them what they should do themselves.

Civil Service Under a Republican Administration. Philadelphia Record. General Huidekoper assumed charge of the nostoffice on Aug. 1, 1880, and retired on Dec. 1, 1885. He devoted his energies to mastering the details of office management His first official act was to guarantee to every man under him that he should hold his position so long as he proved competent He established such a harmonious feeling that the force was enabled to do 20 per cent more work than it could otherwise handle. So well was the business attended to that during the three last years of General Huidekoper’s term the office was rated the first in the country in point of efficiency. The per centage of errors for the Philadelphia office was one for every 11.000 pieces of mail handled. New York occupied the fourth place, wicHrone error for every 6,000 pieces handled. In 1852 Postmaster-general Howe commended the economical administration of the Philadelphia office, and said that had the Boston office pursued the same methods it would have resulted in the saving of $45,000 per annum in the latter office. Postmaster-generals James, Gresham and Maynard likewise complimented the administration of the Philadelphia office. — An Organization of Postmustera. Chicago, Sept 14—-A number of fourth-class postmasters held a meeting here to-day, the result of which was the formation of a postmasters’ mutual benefit association. A constitution and by-laws were prepared and adopted, and a committee of five appointed to secure the incorporation of the association under the laws of Illinois as soon as 200 members have been secured. Another meeting is to he held on the third Tuesday in January next. when the organization will be completed. It is proposed to form the membership of postmasters or any persons in the United States mail service. The benefits will consist of life insurance ou the assessment plan. Opera-House Burned. Elgin, Ills., Sept 14—The Dubois Opera house block was burned this morning. George M. Peck, dry goods and groceries, sustained a loss of $45,000, insurance, $35,000; Allen Bros., hats and caps, loss, $5,000; insurance not given. Loss on buildings, $40,000; insurance, $30,000. There were other minor losses. A Coolness in Base-Ball Circles. Baltimore American. • Hardie Henderson while here refused to speak to Sommer and Macullar, and it was learned that this coolness exists because they did not subscribe towards his diamond ring, which cost $72. The players said they were not asked. Steamship News. London, Sept. 14—Arrived—Persian Monarch, from New York. The Penalty of a Young Man’s Crime. The Mayor yesterday called up the case against George W. Eckert, the young man who was about to desert his wife and elope with Nellie Crouch, a ZO9 performer, and fined him $25 and costs, in addition to which the defendant was sent to the work-house for thirty days. The pleading of Mrs. Eckert, who say3 that she is wholly dependent upon her husband for support and that she has been reconciled to him, influenced the Mayor to make the penalty Eckert’s mother is expected to arrive here today fro a New York, and she will care for his wife and child until he is released. The Crouch woman was fined $5 and sentenced to one day in the work-house. Complaining About tlio City Health Board. The secretary of the State Board of Health yesterday received an anonymous letter calling his attention to the fact that the local health hoard is not doing its duty in keeping the city clean. The letter made particular complaint of the weeds that are allowed, to grow along the sidewalks in many portions of the city and the filthy condition of many back yards. The letter was turned over to the City Board of Health. The opinion of the people has been fully confirmed by widespread experience that Dr. Bull’s Cougu Syrup is the best and cheapest remedy for coughs, colds, sore throat, asthma, etc. Advance In Price of Iron. Philadelphia Sept. 14— The price of bariron was raised one-tenth of a cent a pound, today, at a meeting of the Philadelphia Iron Traders' Associatioa.

A Successful Church Social. Avery pleasant and profitable social was held last night at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. W. TANARUS, Banta, No. 410 East McCarty street,' for the benefit of the Seventh Christian Church, of which Elder J. W. Canfield is minister. The church has recently undergone some substantial repairs, and the ladies of the congregation have arranged for a series of socials as a means by which a small debt can be paid. The one last night was the first of the series, and was in the nature of a lawn party. The lawn was decorated with Chinese lanterns, and a very pleasant evening drew most of those present into the yard, where several large tables were spread, from which were served ice-cream and cake, oysters, and frnitß of all kinds. Over one hundred persons, the greater number of whom were young people, were present. Messrs. J. F. Elvin, Horace Ryan and Charley Ryan formed a trio that furnished some excellent music. There was a recitation by Miss Anna Lutz, and a duet by Misses Cora Brown and Alice Wright. After these exercises all present purchased liberally from the tables, and the net receipts for the evening were very satisfactory to the originators of the plan. Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. Will Ryan, Elder and Mrs. Canfield, Mr. and Mrs. Alex Colvin, Misses Brown, Mand Silven, Mary Smith, Anna Lutz, Alice Wright, Ida Hamlin aod Messrs. Horace Ryan. Charles Reed, W. M. Hamlin, Jas. Smith and L. F. Elvin. Another social of the same nature will be held in two weeks at the home of some member of the congregation. Meeting of Marion County Doctors. The Marion County Medical Society was disappointed last night in the failure of Dr. Metcalf, seoretarv of the State Board of Health, to read his paper on “Medical Legislation,” and, in lieu thereof, the president of the society, Dr. Bray ton, was invited to give some account of his visit to the hospitals and clinics of Chicago, where he has been for the last four weeks. He gave an extended account of tbe Chicago Medical Society’s meeting—the leading medical society of the West —and of the methods and operations in the Chicago hospitals, particularly of their efforts to put in practice the antiseptic treatment of wounds. The methods in capital operations and in minor procedures elicited much interest and discussion, which wae participated in by Drs. Chambers, Harvey, Morgan, Thompson, Fergnson, Comingor, Kitchen, Morrison and others. Dr. James Taylor will occupy Tuesday next with a discussion of puerperal mania. Dr. Hurty on alcohol, and the following evening Dr. Comingor will lead a discussion on antiseptics. The cool evenings are bringing out a large attendance of members. Failed to Make a Case. About two years ago Z. C. Wynn, a drummer, then of St. Louis, now of this city, had 55 cents with which to pay his fare on the Big Four railroad from Indianapolis to Brookfield. He could have purchased a ticket for that amount of money, but the tariff rate was G 5 cents. He offered the conductor the first amount of change, but that official held to the tariff-sheet rate, and wanted 10 cents more. Wynn refused to give it, and he was put off the train. He brought suit against the company for $5,000, representing that the conductor dragged him out of the car. The trial occurred before Judge Howe and a jury, yesterday. When the testimony was all in, the Judge told the jury that a verdict for the defease was aloue admissible, as the plaintiff had in every feature failed to make a case, aud he would therefore dismiss it. He held that the company had the right to reduce their tariff rate when a ticket was purchssed. Verdict Against a Land-Owner, A report iu the case of Robert Hunter against John H. Meyer was made to tbe court by Master Commissioner Fishback yesterday. Hunter leased ten acres of land on tbe shore of Cedar lake, for three years, with the privilege of purchasing it during that time, for $2,000. He made improvements on the laud to the amount of $lO,000, but when he offered to purchase it Meyer refused to sell, claiming that Hunter had made the place a disreputable resort The suit of Hunter was to enforce the contract The commissioner recommends a judgment in the plaint-

iffs favor, and that he be allowed SI,OOO damages on account of Meyer's failure to observe another provision of the coutvact —that none of the contiguous land should be leased to other persons for resorts. The Republican Mass-Meeting To-Night. The Republican mass-meeting at the Grand Opera-house to-night, which will be addressed by Senator Harrison, will be larger, it is feared, than the building can well accommodate. Reports from neighboring cities and towns indicate that there will be many of fcho leading Republicans from outside points in attendance. The boxes have all been reserved for the ladies and old gentlemen who attend. The Tippecanoe Club, however, will be seated on the stage. The music for the occasion will be furnished by tbe When Band and by the Campaign Glee Club, of which Burgess Brown is leader. The meeting will be opened at 8 o'clock. Died from Swallowing Corrosive Sublimate. A week ago last Monday Bartholomew Rayl, a farmer residing seven miles northwest of Kokomo, took corrosive sublimate with suicidal intent His condition was very precarious for several days, but he appeared to be recovering and was brought to the home of a brother in this city, residing at No. 72 Smith street, last Thursday. He grew rapidly worse after the trip and died yesterday from the effects of the poison. Domestic troubles caused hiß attempt at self destruction. His wife left him about three weeks since, and when the separation occurred he announced that he would take his life. A Husband Charged with Many Offenses. Jennie W. Justice yesterday filed a divorce complaint against Edward Justice, a railroad man, to whom she was married Sept. 20, 1875. She charges him with committing all the offenses that would entitle her to a divorce. Cruelty appears to be his great weakness as a husband, but he had her arrested once for assault and battery. The justice of the peace acquitted her. He has tried, she says, to ruin her character, and some time ago, with the assistance of bis sister, took away by force her daughter Mabel. Mrs. Edwards wants tbe custody of the child and SI,OOO alimony. Wanted to See His Dead Mother. Ed Goodson, a boy residing on the South Side, was arrested yesterday for jumping on a moving car, and when brought to the station-house told a pitiful tale. He said his mother was at home a corpse, aud he begged to be allowed to go and see her once more. Turnkey Taffe did not believe his story. He made inquiries in the neighborhood by telephone, and learned that the boy’s mother had been dead five weeks. The lad was locked up. Lower Interest on Township Warrants. Trustee Many, when asked yesterday about his refunding the $60,000 township warrants, said: “I can place them at 6 per cent, any day, but I want a better rate. This is a drop of 2 per cent, and would save $1,200 per year. I think I can reduce the interest to 5 per cent., which will cut down the interest account SI,BOO. Two or three parties in the East are willing to take the loan at 6 per cent.” An Insurance Man’s Strange Disappearance. Joseph C. Morris, who lives at No. 305 North California street, left home two weeks ago and nothing has since been heard of him. He was in the employ of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, and on the day of his disappearance made a settlement with the superintendent, his accounts being in every way satisfactory.

THE ROYAL SINGER New Singing Class M by L. 0. Emerson. THE BEST OF ALLI Toachers of Binging schools who examine this, the last of Mr. Emerson’s series of successful class-books, will generally concede that it is, in some degree, superior to any of its predecessors. The elementary exercises, the graded easy tunes for practice, the part songs or glees, and the church tunes, anthems and chants, all excel in their selection or arrangement. With its happily chosen title, good and interesting music and generally attractive character, there is good ground for hope that it will be the “favorite of the season.” Price, 60 Cents; $0 per Dozen.
