THE FAMINE IN lCADBAB. S

CALCUTTA, Aug. 14.—At a public meeting held at Madras on the ninth inst., to consider steps necessary for securing help from England for the famine sufferers, the'duke of Buckingham, governor of the Madrao presidency, stated that the famine area contained eighteen million of people, of which a large proportion were dependent for their daily food on the exertions and activity of those who transport grain to the country. The necessity for supplies is steadily increasing the wants of Madras are already beyond the means of the presidency: every aid that can be secured is needed to save the peeple. The increasing severity of the distress necessitates an appeal to public charity. Dr. Cornish, sanitary commissioner, said that there were already 1,500,000 people being fed, and over 600,000 had died. A resolution was adopted that the principalities of England Scotland, Ireland and India be informed of the urgent necessity for assistance. The mover of this resolution said that more people were found dead in a single morning in Madras than had died in the whole Bengal famine.

UNIVERSAL FAJUNE.

LONDON, August 14.—A Calcutta des-

S[ysore

atch says:—In portions of Madras and it is now clear that famine will reign with increased intensity for at least •ix months longer. To afford increased facilities for carrying food, the Madras government has. directed the discontinuance of several passenger trains daily on the railways. It may be said, regarding the greater part of India, that the situation is critical, and great danger of almost universal famine exists.

FRANCE.

A'OEMKRAI. DENIAL.

PARIS, August 14.—The Monitettr says that the question of a state siege hae net er been discussed or raised in the cabinet that there has never been on this or any other question, any division within the cabinet that tne most perfect understanding has always existed between Duke de Broglio and Fourton that neither the German' nor any other government has made any representation on the presence of the Duke de Bteglio at the he4d of the cabinet, anil that the president of t^e republic is firmly resolved to retain the ministry of the 16th of May until the elections.

ROUMANU .FTMMMTATIKO. W. London, August 15.—T^ere is much discontent in Roumania at the passage ol the Danube by Roumanian troops. The Roumanians derive no benefit from supplying provisions, etc. for the Russian army, receiving pay in bonds payable at three months date. The visit of Minister Restico to Vienna is postponed, and the Servian ministry remains in office.

London, August 15.—The Standard and DAILY TELEGRAPH remarked that the failure of Eccles, Shorrock Bros. & Co., manufactures, reported yesterday, has increased the uneasy feeling "entertained in some quarters respecting the unsatisfactory state of Manchester trade. The Standard says considerable advances have been obtained upon cotton, large stocks of which are held as security at unremunerative prices, and if realization had to be effected, other firms might be seriously compromised. The London Times' Bellary correspondent describing the awful effects of a famine in southern India says: The great bulk of the people are now -emaciated so, that their ribs are sticking out in painful prominence, and their skins are covered with a dirty looking disquamation of cuticle, described in the Irish famine* of 1846-7 by Dr. Donavon as a peculiar famine erruption. If we look at the thousands of people collected on the relief works, these famine works are of almost universal prevalence. The Superintendent of relief operations in Adoni reports that the iourney owr one of his roads resembled the path of a great battle in the numbers of dead and dying of people who had been smitten by the local outbreak of cholera. In ordinary times they would have fled from the works and never returned, but so severe is the pressure for food that none could afford to leave the works and lose their pay,,pY e,n for a single da^. 3,

GORTSCHAKOFF TO BKSIGN. LONDON, August 18.—The Standard's Vienne correspondent telegraphs that although denied in official quarters, it is an undoubted fact that Gortschskoff, at the close of July, tendered his resignation. It will not be decided whether it will.be aocepted until the czar arrives at Cotrocene, near Bucharest, a fsw days hence. The resson for the resignation is that Gortschakoff promised the other powers that their interests ahould have full weight in the settlement of the esstern question, but finds his influence declining Mfore the extreme party. He alio opposes Roumanian and Servian co-operation.

TERRIBLE TURKISH ATROCITIE8. A Bucharest correspondent telegraphs: "I have written the following as 1 received it, and from the terrible accounts which fugitives continually bring over the Balkans, I fear it must be only 139 true. July 31, the day of the Russian evacuation of Eski Saghra, the Turks ordered that all Christiana, men, women and children, should be shot as they left tbsir houses those who remained within were burnt alive. Order was given to burn down and destroy every, particle of Christian property. Many leading Turkish merchabts took part,

One dispatoh says that a large number of bashi basouks are all over the Tcherpan district. This district is one of the richest in that part of Turkey. It contains a large proportion of Christians,! over thirty churches, and 600 schools and colleges, all of which have been burnt. The destruction extended to the village of Boghdan, Mahalesi. Rani, and many others, in all about sixty, containing from 150 to 200 families each. Scarcely fifty persons escaped alive. The Bulgarian fugitives at Gabrona and Seli estimate that from 12,000 to 15,000 Christians have been massacred in the Eski Saghra and Tcherpan districts alone. Spldiers were posted along the it&d from Eski Sagh ra to Kassnlik with orders to shoot everybody passing."

TURCO COMPLAINS.

NEW YORK, August 13.—Th&Turkish legation complains of the RMK near firing upon a flar of ttlNf aod wounding Otusaa Eflenai. 'Twelve unarmed Muauilmea

the village of tJou-

kouloo, near StkiSefta, eavrendend to the Russians, and seven of them were massacred by Bulgarians and three by the Cossacks. At Balak village, exclusively Mahommedan, in the district. jf Sistova, lOOhouses were burned stn|J men and 300 women .niSiiMf^l' ia believed that seveh innai& tants survived. At Balovan. a Mussulman village in the district of Ternova, 250 houses were burned and men and 1,200 women perisWfl oMh son, it is believed, esoaped. At Caba Bonvas 100 houses were borned and 200 men and 300 women perished two persons escaped. At Kestambol 150 houses were burned and 300 men and 600 women perished. At Chems, a mixed village, sixty Mussulmen's housss were destroyed and-120 men and 200 women perished onepenon only escaped.

At Tundja, a mixed village, 100 houses were destroyed and 250 men and 400 women perished three survivors. Villages abandoned upon the approach of the Russians were given to the flames, and nearly 5,000 houses destroyed. The legation concludes, from information received, that the Russians have adopted a uniform system to try to seize defenseless villages, and, after destroying them with cannon shot, to massacre the unarmed inhabitants and carry off the women for the purpose of outraging their persons, when tbey are not killed at first. The Russians threaten Christian villages with the same fate if they do not surrender, or it their inhabitants refuse to be enrolled.

TERRIBLE SUFFERING.

LONDON, August 13.—A correspondent at Korabunar writes: Appalling accounts continue to come in of the misery of fugitives from the districts devastated by the bashi basouks and Bulgariaus. Thousands of women and children are homeless and perishing for want of shelter, -medical attendance and food. Immediate help on the largest possible scale is most sorely needed. The pasha proposes to distribute the fugitives about Constantinople, Adrianople and Phillippopolis. The correspondent suggests the formation of a city of refuge on an island near Constantinople, under protec tion of a neutral fla£ and a neutral guarantee from the belligerents.

ertheless the grand stand at the starting and finishing point of the races Contained an audience of 5,000 persons, who (iioasoled thefriselves under shelter with the music of the band. The river outside the regatta course was alive with a fleet of steamers ot all descriptions, both American and Canadian, including.the United States revenue ciutter Fessenacn and the British gunboat Prince ^lfre3, all loaded with passengers. Innumerable small crafts moved about the bosom ot the placid stream, and the neighboring wharves were black with umbrella sheltered crowds. At 4 o'clock the clouds lifted, and with the first indication of the subsiding of the storm, the managing committee started off the swimming race, which had been originally set for the closing feature of the day's sport. A contestant plunged into the transparent flood, and swam down the stream a distance of 200 yards in front of the grand stand. The first prize, a gold badge, was awarded to F. S,

The water was calm and the start perfect Aftei a' few strokes the Wolvenhook crew drew percepitably ahead, which lead they continued to increase, although the Nadeau brothers stubbornly contested the match. The chief characteristic of this race was the bad steering—an example set by the leading boat and followed by its antagonist, cutting the river diagonally, as if inclined to cross it. and then returning in a reckless manner towards the home 6hore. The Wolven hook crew turned first and came home 800 feet ahead of the "Sho Wal Cal Mettes." Time—Wolvenhookj 15 minutes 44 seconds. ''Sho Wal Cal Mettes." 16 minutes 13 seconds. The pair oared race between Mr. Elgunn and Manning Of the Emerald club of Saginaw, and Clegg and Campau of the Detroit sculler, started at a* quarter to 6 o'clock. The race was an interesting one and rather closely contested, the Detroit crew spurting ahead and maintaining their lead to the end. They won the race in 14 minutes and 55 seconds. Emeralds, 15 minutes and 12 seconds. In this, as in the former race, the steering was defective, particularly so od the part oithe Saginaw crew. The day" closed with the race for ten oared barges, in which thefrc were eight .entries,

During the progress of the double scull race this afternoon a portion of the railing along the dock ia front of the grand stand gave way owing to the pressure ot the crowd and about twenty persons were precipitated into the water.

OUT OW BAIL.

John A. Joyee, the St. Leail' Whiskey Thief eat, bet Subject to Cell St. LOUIS,August 13.—A specisl to The Evening Dispatch, from Jefferson City, says that tbe habeas corpus ease of Col. John A. Joyce, formerly United States revenue agent for this districtrunder Gen. John McDoh #ld,

was

dseided fcvdejvby

Judge Keck«J,of .the United States district court. .The particular question in* voived in the esse was that of cumulative punishment, or judgment oa More than one count' of an indictment. The decision is loeg and elaborate, and expresses some doubt as to .how far a court, under habeas corpus proceedings, can review its former judgments. "But, in this case," the judge says,- in closing, "I feel relieved because the judgment about to be entered, can be reviewed, and the various

Ques

tions involved authoritatively settled, on sppeal. The conclusions arrived at are that the indictment under consideration, in its various counts, charges but one offence that when the court entered its judgment on the conspiracy the court exhausted its powers, and that the result of the judgment is void: that Joyce, having served a full, term of two years in the penitentiary, sfter allowing due credit tor good behavior, is bntitled to a discharge, which is granted him, on condition that he and surety enter into a recognisance of $1,000 to appear and answer any order of the court which may be made in this or tbe apellate court." Assistant ProsecutAltorney Williams immediately filed paperson an appeal to the United States circuit court, and Governor Fletcher and Wm. McCarthy offered and were accepted as bondsmen. It is just twenty-one months to-day since Colonel Joyce entered the prison under tbe sentence of two years, and $1,000 fine, on the fourth Obunt, and eighteen months and $1,000 fine on the first, second and third counts. It is said that Joyce's fines stand off. as he has no property.

In consequence of his discharge several others declined taking out their trains this morning. Complaint was made against four of them of attempting to incite a strike, and they were promptly arrested by tbe police and committed to- jail in default of $1,000 bail required of each. An unsuccessful attempt was made to bring them before Judge Galbraith, this evening, on a writ of habeas corpus. Tbey will hare a hearing to-morrow. About twenty employes are out on & strike, whose places nav6 been:filled by new men. All trains have run regularly. "The strikers assert that the alleged cause of thtf freight conductor's discharge is not the real one, but that he was discharged because of his prominence in the late strike.

SHERMAN'S SYNDICATE.

A LITTLE FINANCIAL ROW. .New York, August 15.—The Sun says it is rumored in financial circles that there was trouble brewing between Secy, of the Treasury Sherman and the four, per cent loan syndicate on one 6:de, and certain National banks and prominent banking houses on the other. It was hinted that Sherman himself is connected with the syndicate, and that as a result of a breach of taith on the part of'.Morton, Bliss & Co., to their recent associates in the 4/°2 P®1* cent, loan syndicate, a suit had been begun againsfc that firm. Color was given to the report, by the fact that the 4 per cent, loan is now offered in open market at a price nearly 1 per cent below the price at which it was subscribed for by the syndicate. This makes it impossible for Sher-' man to carry out, at present, hie schetfter of funding six per cents, in four per cents.J
