A GOOD-NATURED CONFERENCE.
CONSTANTINOPLE , August 7. It is
believed that the question of proclaim
ing Arabi a rebel is now In a fair way
of being arranged. Tlio greatest good
humor prevailed on all aides at the Bit
ting of the conference , and the coun
cil presents the appearance of eight
reunited friends , rather than a meet
ing of statesmen. Their labor is
- often lightened by little jokes and
even playful badinage.
AN ALLIANCE CERTAIN.
CONSTANTINOPLE , August 7. The
prospects of coming to a satisfactory
arrangomement with the porto are undiminished -
iih
diminished as Said Pasha , the Turkish
prime minister , is convinced that the
British alliance must bo maintained.
i.at
This is the beat reason to believe that
the military convention will bo con
cluded. It is stated on cjood authority
rips
ty that thrco thousand Turkish troops
sailed Sunday night from Salouica for
Egypt via Suda Bay. Sixteen thou
Ba'nd more cro under orders for the
same destination.
It is reported that the British inter
cepted a courier bearing dispatches
from Arabi Pasha to the sultan.

house to day , said the povornme.it
had ascertained that DaLeasops , in
protesting against the landing of
.British troops on the properly of holy
Suez Canal company , acted solely as a
private individual , It was not
thought necessary to take any stops
regarding hia so-called protests. The
only matter to bo considered with ad
vantage with regard to canal , he Bays ,
is the condition that it shall remain
open , which it does.
ENGLAND'S REAL INTENTIONS.
The under foreign secretary reply
ing to various questions , said no Turk-
iah troops had gone to Alexandria.
Those which had been dispatched only
wont as far as Crete. Negotiations
in regard to Turkish intervention inn
Egypt had not yet reached a stage en ;
abling any statement to bo made nin
parliament. The conference will have
no control over England's actions at
Suez or at any other point > ro
British troops are in occupation b :
virtue of the Khedive's proposal.
Measures before the conforanco ire
only proposals for the safety of the ;
canal. Lord Dufferln had been in
structed if an agreement is reached
it will be only a temporary incident to
tbe present situation. No ultimation
was sent the sultan.
OPPOSITION TO THE TURKS ,
The Times says it believes it represents
sents the matured opinion of the na
tion in protesting against the rks
being permitted to come to Euypt , no
matter what restrictions they may ul
timately consent to.
A TRUE PATRIOT.

THE ALLIANCE.

joung men well connected in Hender
son county , Texas , have for several
weeks past been , committing lawless !
acts in that county , plundering stores
in the town of Athens and making
themselves obnoxious. On Friday
last their loader was captured and

him to remove the vessels under his

miral Nicholson sent information im
mediately to the consulate and prepared -
pared to receive any and all refugees
who sought protection. The Jay was
n busy one , as ovcry nationality present :
sto
ent was doing its utmost to
free the city from its residents
and tlio harbor from vessls. At

HTAR ROUTE TRIALS.
After some unimportant testimony ,
Ingersoll announced that so far as his
clients , the Dorsoys , wore concerned
he was through , and similar statements -
monts were made by oil other counsel -
sol for the defense.
After recess Blics appeared , looking
indisposed. Ho proceeded , however ,
to examine A. J. Boone , recalled by
the prosecution to rebut some per-
tions of Voile's testimony Mr. Mer-
rick offered to show by witness that
in the spring of 1878 Vailo had
known Miner and had at that time
signed a contract at Senator Doraoy's
house , although Vnllo swore that he
never mot Minor before August of
that year. Defense objected because
the contract spoken of was not in
cluded in the indictment. Morrlck
moved that all of the evidence taken
relative to the Rcdding-Alturas route
bo stricken cut , because no action
had boon taken toward expediting
thvt routo.
In answer to Ingorsoll Judge Wylio
Skid it seemed to him the evidence
had boon ottered to show there was a
case or two where they ( the defend
ants ) had not done tlio thing with
which they were charged , but a man's
good action could not bo an offset
against his bad action. Ingorsoll den
ied such was their object. In his
opinion Brady's refusal to grant this
expedition was a bad act , for it neces
sary. Court said then ho had disro *
garded the public needs and should
have boon dismissed. The whole
trouble appeared to have risen from a
misunderstanding of ovldonco on his
part v.hon it was offered. Ho would
accordingly allow the evidence already
taken to remain and would also ad
mit an additional paper ( an affidavit )
presented by Bliss. Adjourned ,

BOSTON , August 7. The circular

appreciable effect. The system has
boon in use moro or less for four or
five years. It is said to have boon
begun by the National Dispatch line ,
and to have gradually boon adopted
by other linos. The Ponnnylvania
road claims to bo the only road reso
lutely refusing to approve or employ
it. The volume of California busi
ness from Boston is not largo enough-
to cause very serious loss to the Penn
sylvania road. The complaint made
to Commissioner Fink came from the .
Southern Pacific , which has entered-
into competition with the Union Pa
cific and Northern Pacific linos.
