Bismarck Enforcing the Iron Eule oa the German Socialists. A GLCOMV OUTLOOK. Special dispatch to The Bee. WASIIIMITOK , D. O. , Novembers 1 a. m The minister of the United States at St. Petersburg , in a recent dispatch to the department of state , draws a gloomy picture of the prpsen' econcnvc and nodal condition of 'Rus sia. The grain crop of the past sea son has proven a failure , and Ameri csn wheat is imported even now at St. Petersbuig. It is also entering at Odessa aud other Russian ports , but a largo market for this American serial cannot bo predicted , as very ItttU bread made of wheat is made in Rcs- eia. The mass of the people must have a cheaper and coarser article , such as rice or Indian corn. The scarcity of Rra'n throughout the em pire is BO great that it was cunently reported and generally believed that the imperial government was consid ering the propriety of prohibiting the exportation of rye. There will be much suffering among the poorer claries. Mr. Foster , the minister , in hisdi8patchquoles from TheGolos , of St. Petersburg , as follows : "From all sides come news of tno harvest being below the average ; of want and han ger , from which will spring disease , and very likely death. Beetles , worms and locusts are eating up the com ; the diminuiion of cattle sur passes all belief ; diphtheria is taking off the present generation ; breadstuffa have already reached five kopecks pi p and , and everyone feels that Rius does not subsist by the produce of its own land , but is wasting its cipitai in cutting wood , selling surplus cattle , pulling straw from its roofs and de priving itself of its very clothes and shoes. " tiYCOCK BBATS RttET. Sperhi Diertcri to Tni Bui LOKDON , November 7 10 p m. The single scull race which was rowed on the Thames Saturday between Ltycock , the Australian , and Riley , of Saratoga , resulted in an ea y vie tory for Lvvcock. In the first mile both -contestants rowed for all they were worth for the lead , but before they-h d finished the tccond , it w s apparent the Australian had the American at Jus mercy. Laycnck slightly quickened his stroke at the beginning of the third mile , and grad ually drew away from his competitor , winning by two lengths. From the start Laycock rawed in better form than Riley. Time , 25:4. SPARKING DIPLOMATS. pecUl Diipatcb to tbr life LONDON , November 8 1 a. m A cabinet council is to be held this week md will be of very great importance. Prince Bismarck , U is understood , iesires to see the enforcement of the will of Europe on the Turkish ques tion deferred until Austria shall have been put into a condition to defend her newly acquired responsibility and Frontiers under the treaty of Berlin. Bar ! Granville refused his assent to the request of the German chancellor , md a sharp exchange of diplomatic notes is new going on. The relations between England and Germany are most decidedly strained , and are cause for alarm , in view of the approaching implications all over Europe. GAGGING TIIU SOCIALISTS. JpecUl Dispatch to The Bee. BERLIN , November 8 1 a. m. Fhe German government is preparing \ new and stringent liw against Ihe locialists , who have been showing ft bolder front than usual of late , eepe- jially in eastern Germany.

Wreck of the Steamer ilhola Island Speciiil Dispatch to Th * Bee. PROVIDENCE , R. I. , November 8 The steamer "Rtiode Island , " coming from Newport to this city , went ashore on Rocky Beach , just this side of Narragnnsett tpiei , rbout half-past 3 o'clock Sunday morning. She had on board about 120 passen gers , twenty of them young ladies. The passengers wore exceedingly frightened for a few minutes , but after that they fought nobly. Cap tain Mott took all precautions possi ble to save the lives of the pissen- Kers in putting on life preservers , and assured them that there was no danger. At daylight boats were low ered and the passengers quickly land ed. The steamer had about 17,000 tons of freight aboard. She belonged to the same line as the ill-fated "Ston- Ington" and "Narraganaott" A special from Narragansott Pier gives the following particulars of the wrecked "Rhode Island : " The iteamer is a total wreck and all that was left of her at sunset Sunday was her engines , paddlq. wheels and the part half of her hull aft of the paddle box. Captain Mott , Second Pilot Thompson and tl o mates with a few men stayed by her last night un til 9 o'clock and boarded the dory belonging to the same company which arrived an hoar earlier. The iea is so high and the "Rhode Island" breaking up so fait that further eff > rt * t9 board her were useless The freight wa * nea-ly all out of her. She lies on sunken rocks at the foot of a blufi sixty feet high , and not over fifty yards from land. Crowds of spectators have occupied the bluffs all 3ay , and a large fleet of steamers and smaller crafts were engaged in.wreck ing. There was no loss of life nor serious accidents. Even the pisscn- sjpr * ' baggaeo is all saved. Captain Mott furnishes a statement to The Star correspondent in which ho eays : "We passed Point Judeth in eight fathoms of water , and hoard the fog horn all right Wo then ran our usual twenty-three minutes to Beaver Tail and stopped until we heard tie horn of our privata signal map , and ciught the flwh of his red fire in the sky. The fog wai too dense to see the red fire. Wo have a man to burn red fire and blow a fee horn for us , be cause the government signal is um re liable and rarely heard until abreast of it. The regular course to Bonnet Point is six minutes. We ran the six minutes listening all along for the echo from the Huffs. At Bo&net Point wo suddenly heard it and saw the land loom up at the same mo ment. I gave the orders to pull the helm hard aport , but we struck be fore the steamer could stuni ; off. Three rods further east would have carried us clear. I supposed we were in onr usual position when we took our departure trom Beaver Tail. The result seems to show we were dr Yen in the sc and , and were really a trifle furth r west than we sup posed. Have Mil the same course under the same circumstances many times , and always in the same way. I can't explain why I struck this time. " POLITICAL POINTS.

A San Francisco special says : Batting men are greatly oxcitcd over the closeness of the vote tn this stale. Inrge anma were wa cred on the result , and bets , riS usual , were that Hancock would carry the state , or vice ver a. It is now remembered that one of the dein- ocrat'C electors , ttantcl S. Derry , is the man who killed Broderick in a n duel , was badly scratched in this city. Ho ran behind here , 191 , about 47 in Alemeda , or perhaps 100 in the entire state. This insures one of the republican electors , even > f the demo crats secure the remaining five , be- cauaa the leading man onoither ticket will- not have more than ono hun dred majority. Tne latest count nude by the Chronicle , after correcting its tables by the official returns from several counties , makes Garfield 47 nhe.id , pnn the republican state cen- tia' ' ct'inmitten now think that their icket will pull through by a very hfn.t.ru8Joriry ( , so slight thatjt will require rue official count to "deter mine to whom the state belongs. The democrats are receiving no dispatches , in ! spm to be rather apathetic about the matter. The republicans are novr sure of a majority of nine on joint ballot in the state legislature. The Latest Count Special Disnatch to The Boo. SAN FiiA > cibCO , November 5 12 m. G-ufisld's plurality is "now 145 , which \\'ll bo reduced by returns f om Deluorte , and possibly by a small per cent , iu other counties not yet re ported at the county seats. Agents have been sent to the isolated places to see that the returns are not tamper ed with on the way. It is believed the vote will bo slightly in favor of Garfield - field ; cer'ainly ' one republican elector will be choen in Ilia place of Terbv. Tha legislature is about 40 republic ans nnd 39 democrats in the assembly , with one doubtful as to election , he having tird with his competitor in So- Uno county. Republicans will have the organization of the assembly. Pacheco seems to have fallen behind by the last returns received , but they wore imperfectly gathered , most of tlio telegrams giving only the vote for elector. Leach is about eighty-seven ahead.

The honor may be c'aimed for Michigan of first organizing the re publican party in 1854 ; of circling every state officer as a republican ; of controlling both branches of the legislature since that time ; of giving her electoral vote to every republican candidate for president ; of keeping her delegition in congress more near ly unbroken than any other state , and of piling up a this year a majority un- BiirDwed by only ouo etile ( Iowa ) , which is an offspring of Michigan. It Is believed from returns and estimates that GarfielcVa majority over Hancock will be 45,000 , and Jerome's over Halloway will bo 33,000. For the seventh time Michigan has chosen a solid delegation to congress. Garfleld'a Cabinet. Spociil Dlgpatchto The Bee. \VASHIXQION , November 8 1 a. m. Tae Sunday Chronicle appeared yes terday morning with a Ion ? double- Isaaed editorial , which contained the following : Gen. Garfield will neither offend his party nor the country in the construction of his cabinet. ' While he appreciates the hopes cf hi friends that his administration will be aetslwartone , he will m no sense per mit abuse to render it so. As to who will compose his cabinet , the question of individuals has barely enterud his mind , and just as soon as it does , he will call around him the ablest men of the party fur consultation. His letter rf acceptance is very clear and decid ed on this point The only two points siid to be settled is first , provision for SecreUiy Shtrman and re cognition of some kind for Gcv- ernor Foiter , who psrhaps hoi' ! * closer relations with Gen. Garfield than any man in the country. Secre tary Sherm in goes bpck to the senate by his own choice. Gov. Foster will ba offered a cabinet pDiitio : . if h wants Itj on a grade like secretary of the interior. There is no donbt about the definite conclusion on thesa two points. But beyond this nothing hss been talked of , excepting when the proper time arriveFj to'bold a consulta tion with prominent members of the party , aa stated. Gen. Girfield will not set himseif against the judgment of his friends nor the value ot their advice. 'At the same time ho will be president , and ready to aMtlmo all the responsibilities of hia administration in constructing his cabinet. New England will not be overlooked through the counsel of ft leader like Blaine. New York will bo duly con sidered by the advice of Snator Conkling , and if he wants a gentle man like Hon. Levi P. Morton put at tna head bf the treasury department it will be done. Mr. Morton is his life long Menu1 ; of undoubted ability , and has the confidence of the moneyed men of the country. Pennsylvania will also be tairly considered throug" Senator Cameron , and the wei lirough Generals Grant aud Logan The former could easily hav he war depirtment if h wanted it , which is hardly 1 kely. The latter , his friends say would like the interior dopartmen offered to him , but this is doubtful The south will not ba ignored , bu there will ba no further wasting o : of cabinet positions on it by this administration at least. As already stated there is no definite line of se cction yet determined upon. Bui what wo have herein stated corres ponds in a general way to the pro- gramma of the future on as good an authority as any outside the limits of Mentor. Hancock's Disclaimer.

It s thought that he had previously quarreled witii his wife , and tint hi ; liater in lw took her patt.

Renewal of the Railroad War. pedal dispatch to Tm Bn CHICAGO , November 8 1 a. m. is predicted , the southwestern pas- enger rate war broke out afresh tiat- irdiy among the railroads leading in hat direction. By some mistake the llinois Central was not included in he recent compromise arrangement aade in New York by the presidents if the roads. It made a rate of its iwnto St. Louis of § 5 , while the ither lines went back to the old price if $8 40. After a time the Chicago & Uton met the Central with a $5 rate o St. Louis , and sold tickets at ? 5 rom St. Louia to Kansas City. Thus liople were nble to make the trip rom Chicago to Kansas City for $10 , md take in the city of St. Louis en onte. The fare direct by all roads erasing $14.80. The Rock Island oad" could not long endure to be cir- iumvented by the Alton , and so Sat irday sanf out a dodger inviting reo- lie to come and buy tickets direct t > Kinsas City for 810. Saturday after- ioon the generil break came. The ( Vabash renewed its previous declara tion that it would sell tickets one del ar lower than any other road , and Immediately dropped to S4 to St' Li mis , and $9 to Kansas City. The Alton at once met this rate , and then the Wabash hung out the following itinouncement : "The Wabash , St. Louis & Pacific is now selling tickets From Chicago to St. Louis , Kansas Orty , Council Blufla , St. Joseph , Pe- Dria , Hannibal , Keokuk , Sprinefield , Jacksonville , Washington , Pontiac , Lincoln aud M.ieon City , at $1 less than on any other line. " During the afternoon the Wabash , Alton , Rock [ aliiid , and Central kept dropping , until the business of the day cksjci with a gl rate to St. L mis and § 0 to Kansas Ci y. The C. , E & Q. did not join in the fight It is btlieved ihis passenger war will result in a per- nanent reduction of rates. Fhe Illinois Central has per- nanently rfduced the rate fr < > m Chicago toNerfr Orleans from $23.60 : o $20. Great interest is felt m tf e neeting rf the general managers tn- lay to adjuil tne southvre t rn pajsen jer rates. There is a bitter feeling bgainst the Wabash because it slaims more than the other lines con- lider it entitled to. The Wabash : laimi that President lilackitonu , of ; he Alton , agreed to give it half the 5t. Louis business. Mr. B'a kstone leuusthK It would be leaving the jther St. Louis roads and the Illinois Central entirely oat of the questijiu Ehe Altcn in nit willing to yield one- third to the Wabash , as with fair com petition it does more of the passenger traffic to St. Louis than both the Wa bash and Illinois Central. There is no expectation that an agreement en any of this western buaineas will to reached by the managers Tor sever 1 days , and in the meantime thelivelieat war in rates over kno vn is looked for , Fre'ght rates are also threatened.
