( N'cw York Herald Cable-Special to the Ui.n.l The Sebranja will merely consider the measure to bo taken relative to the purchase of the prince's es tates by the state In the piesent budget. The regulations regaicling loans will be changed. The statement that negotiations have been opened for a loan from a Berlin discount company and guaranteed by Kmsla , has not been continued. The reports from Hussla to the various Inquiries made by tlio Bulgar ian regency are to tills effect : Russia will acknowledge the icgpneyso long as the lat ter undertakes no arts of hostility toward her. As lo the question whether Russia will grant a fu-c rliolco In the election of tin * next ruling prince , the answer Is tlmt the discus sion of tills question Is inopportune at pics- cut. As rcgauls thu unification of eastern Houmelia and Bulgaria , Itussla will en deavor to acl for the welfare of Hnlgarla , provided Bulgaria docs not act In opposition to itussla's will. Amends for the discus- blon on other points are premature1. If the legoncy will but co-operate with Hussia the latter will forget what has occurred.

Three moonlighter raids took place last night , all of them close to the headquarters of General Duller. William Cuftey. a bailiff , who made himself obnox ious by the cuiel treatment of a woman hn icccntly evicted , went early to attend mass In Bclcarra chapel. "When the men and women of the congregation m the chapel noticed Ctiffny's presence they be came Indignant and .the mnn riragced him from the building and turned him over to the women who were beglng for "a chance at him. " Among the women wore twelve whom CulTny had evicted. These women worn furious , and thov fell on the ballltr and beat him nnmeicltully. Subse quently the priest , who is also president of the local branch of tliu national Icaeiio , ad mitted tlio b.illitf to bear mass , and this niL-rcy for the unfoi Innate man almost caused n rebellion against the priest. A Pamphlet on tlio Irlnh Question. LONDON , Snpt 13. The Irish Loyal and Patriotic union has issued a pamphlet on tlio Irish question for use by the gentlemen of tlio house of commons and press. "Tho status of the Irish tenant farmer , " says the pamphlet , "has within the past sixteen years undergone marked amelioration owing to various lemedial statutes. Theie has certainly been a fall In prices , but , every thing considered , there is nothing exception ally bad in Irish agriculture. The Irish en joy greater advantages on tonuie than other people with Improved methods , and there is reason to look to the future with confidence. " lleroligurcs ate quoted showing that full advantage is taken of the right to sell interebt Inholdlngs. Tlio pamphlet continues : "Layin ; asldo rhetorical bosh , It Is necessary to state succinctly the actual facts regarding eviction. By the land act the land tenant cannot pos sibly be evicted unless ho refuses to pay rents or does not comply with certain statutatory conditions not forming an imagin ary grievance. Ejectment for non payment of lent cannot bo brought for less than , a year's rent actually duo. If any ejectment be brought the tenant may redeem the property at any time with in six months after the oxrantlon of the writs , or may , within the same time , sell the tenancy after writ has been executed to any body , and the purchaser may redeem tlio property. Many other advantages nro possessed by the tenants , therefore an eviction Is dangerous and costly to tlio landlord and is practiced only In oxtrouio cases. If a year's rout should Jnll due In September or November the land lord does not'KCt a decico until tlio January session : and six months mote must elai > so beforo.ho can get possession of the land. Tlio landlord is then liable to the tenant for the crons , so that nearly two years must elap.se before ho fully recovers his tenancy. Another American Victory. LONDONSept. . , 13. The sculling match between George W. Lee , of Now Jersey , and Neil Mattel-son , the Australian oarsman , took place to-day on the Thomas championship course , and was won by Lee. The wind was lighrthu tide fast. Only a few speetatois witnessed tlio race. Betting be fore tliu start was given to four in favor of Matter&on. Tlio men got away on even tcims , eacli rowing forty strokes a minute Matterson gradually crept ahead and led by half a length at the creek , Leo however increased his exertion and drew up on a level with his opponent at Craven cot tage steps. When Walden was reached Leo had a load of a length. A desperate struggle followed.both men still rowing forty strokes a uilnnto. Matterson was azaln oven with Leo at Crab Tree and led by half a length at Hammersmith. Leo then spuited a-ram and regained tun leadwhen Mattorson stopped , totally exhausted. His time to Hammersmith was 8:40 : , or ten seconds bettor than the best previous rccoid. Russia and Austria Propnrtnj ; . LONDON , Sept. ! . It Is remarked that , although Emperor Frauds Joseph is at 1'rc/- emepl , In Gallclanml tlio czar at Litovlch , In Poland , not nforo than S50 kilometres apart , neither has given any sign or desho or In tention of meeting the other. In fact neither has sent the other greetings oven by deputy. The None Frclo Pressc , of Vienna , com plains of the cxar'u breach of courtesy to- waids Austtla. It says It Is noteworthy that Russian military inanoQUversnro taking place In tlio ineclso coiner of tlioltusslan dominion which would bo the principal thoatio of war In the event of a Russian conlllct with Austria. Francis Joseph is nt the same time reviewing nn equal number of Austrian troops , the total being over 00,000 men , ut a point which would naturally bo chosen as an Austrian base of operations In the btiiuo event. 'Thus we see"says the Nmio Frolo Presse , "Iho two ilval camps and two rival couits are almost opposite each other. " Hot Shot nt Randy. LONDON , Sept. la. The Scottish Protestant alliance will meet to discuss tlio reply of Loid Randolph Clintchlll to their protest against the appointment of Jlenry Matthews as homo secretary , which was In ought on the ground that lie was a Ilonian Catholic. Kev. James Patton , director of the alliance , has addiessed a letter to Lord Ilandolyh Church- HI , In which he Bays : "Yon have penned an insolent ii'ply to a respectful public docu ment. Al hough von aio now a cabinet min uter , wo observe with astonishment and re gret that you have not laid asldo those weapons of abuse wltli which yon toma hawked your way to power. It l a national calamity when men , pitchforked into high position , aio destitute to decent manners. " Mr. Patton concludes his letter by Baying that the alliance founded Its piote.st upon tlio same gtounds as those upon which the ex clusion of Koiiian Catholics from Iho throuo Is founded. _ AfTnlra In Jlul nrln , SOFIA , Sept. 13. The national assembly met to-df.y. The llusslan ajent received the czar'b reply to Biiljrarla'd proposals. The czar says Itussla will rccosulzo the Bulgarian regency and assist the union of Bulgaria and llounu'lla on condition tlmt no ar.ts of violence Ito committed. Hussla advises that tlio public opinion of Bulgaila bo allowed to calm down bufoio a now prince bo elected to the Bnlgaiian throne. The llueslan agent communleatNl the czar's reply to the JJnl- gariau goveinment because the relations be tween the present Bulgarian ministers and him are very strained. During the sitting of the notional assembly to-day several loini- ties mope-sod that the Bulgarian government send a telegram to Uie czar icquostlng him to communicate-with the BulgaiJan government direct Instead of through an agent , A German banking house declined the pro posal from the Bulgarian government for raising a loan for that country.

Is'olcss than a tlo/.on such cases have been made public hero within the last month. The last was reported yesterday. .lames Kearno" , a well to lo farmer , who lives near Meads , in Saiinders county , arrived In the city yuste.rd.\y morning in search of his daughter , Addle , aged lif- teen years , who had been missing from her liomu sl.teu Friday evening. It scorns that she has been attending school at Meads , where she made thnauqnaintanco of a man named L. A. I'innegan , who was employed in u wagon shop at that place. The girl's father learned of her friendship for Kinnegaii antl ordered her to accept no further attentions from him , but to devote her time enttrnly to her school duties. The order seemed to have the effect of Increasing the girl's admiration for thu carriage maker , and her father linally decided to take her Irom school on Friday in order to keep her out of tlio range of Finnegaii's attentions. Tlio plan failed of its desired result , However. The girl did not appear after the school hour on Friday , and her father , on visit ing the town discovered that she had left the phicu , and that Finnogan was also missing. Further investigation revealed the fact that Finnegan and the girl had been seen to board an cast hound trim together. Finnegan had told Ins em- pjoyor tlmt lie was going to work in Simpson's carriage manufactory in Omaha , and when Mr. Kearnes arrived yesterday ho wont to the place named and found Finnegan at work. Ho asked Finnugan about Addio and obtained a confession from him that the girl had ac companied him to Omaha. On demand- ingtp know of her whereabouts the father was informed that she was at the Windsor ser hotel. Ho went to tlio place and found his daughter registered as the wife of Finnegan. She was surprised , but not abashed at thn appearance of her father , and flatly refused to return homo with him. She said she was not married to her Fin , but was going to bo and , as she loved him , she preferred living with him anyway to returning to her nomo. She admitted that she had been kindly treated by her parents , but did not want to return homo , preferring life in the city with Finnegan. She was linally induced , by coaxing and threats , to return homo , but stated that she would remain only until her lover should send for her. She accompanied her father to the train , and hero made another objection to the re turn trip , and raised such a disturbance that Oflieor Green was compelled to make her keep quiet , and dually placed her iu the car in her father's churge. The father and daughter left for their homo last evening. No steps were taken by the father to prosecute Finnegan. A mSGRACBKIJti AFFAIR. Two Members of tlio Police Force In dulge In a KiKht. A disgraceful fight took place at 1 o'clock this morning at the corner of Twelfth and Farnuni streets , the princi pals in which were Pat Horrigan and Alike lomp. cy , both members of the police force. The trouble originated over the. arrest a few days ago of Ed. Galligan , u brother-in-law of Domp- soy. The arrest was made by OIHccr O'Grady , who is a brothor.in-law of Horrigair Dempsey , so Ilorrigau's friends allege , made seine remark to tlio on'eet that it was spite work on the part of Horrigan and O'Grady that led to Galligan's arrest. At any rate the matter was the cause of last night's row. Horrigan was btanding at the corner of Twelfth and Farnam , talking to Ollicor Pioronet and Special Murphy , when Ucmpsov came down the street from the police station. After Dempsey had passed tlio party Horrigan called to him and walked part of the way across Twelfth street'lo moot him. Horrigan demanded that Dunvpscy retract statements he had made. IJempsoy replied that ho had nothing to take back. As ho said so Horrigan grabbed him by the throat to choke him , when Dempsev struck him and knocked 1dm down. Tlio men then clutched und were rolling in the mud when Officer Poironet rushed in to separ ate them. Dempsey , in altunuiting to speak , had exposed part of his tongue , and that member was found fastened between Horrigan'a clenched tooth and nearly bitten in two. The belligerents wore separated and Oflicqr Dempsey , who was bleeding profusely at the mouth , tukuii to the pollco station whore his injuries wore attended by Dr. Swotmnn. Ilorrigan and Uompsoy are two of the best po- licemou on the force and their trouble will bo sincerely regretted by their friumls , as it will propably causo'botli of them seine annoyance. TJIfi OMAHA ft NORT1IHRV. The Hoard of Trudo Again Tuko Up the Hallway Solionio. The roguliir monthly mooting of the board of trade was Hold at the secretary's oRlco last night , presided over by Presi dent Meyers. Acting Secretary Haines read the minulosof the hint 'mooting , wJiioh wore approved. \Vlllhxrii3on , Crane & Co , , soap manu facturers of Janosville , Wis. , wrote to ask what inducements the board of trade would odor thorn to locate a plant in this city. Referred to the committee on man ufactures. A communication was read from J. C. Iloald of JJartlett , WJiooler county , urging the board of trade to use its influence to establish bettor railway communications between Omaha and Wheeler county and the northwest. Some talk was indulged in concerning the proposed Omaha & Northern railway. A number of the members were in favor of commencing asubscriptlon at once for the purposeof starting the road. It was urged that the road should bomado u popular matter and controlled by the olty and that the board of trade should tnko the initiative stop. Mr. Colpot/.ur thought that tlio road could bo started and then an alliance formed with tonio other road to continue the scheme. Others opposed this on the ground that any other road would act as the Northwestern now does n carrying goods right through Omaha to Chicago to the detriment of Omaha. A traino arrangement , it was urged , could bo made but it would not do to al low any other company to get control of the i oad. Dr.Urunor could not son how any objection could be had to any company having control of the road that comes to Omaha. This would overcome tlio dis advantage to which Omaha Is subjected at the hands of the Northwestern awl Burlington roads which use their Blair and Plnttsmoutli.ponncrtionsasnn oxouso for making raws against Omaha and in favor of . .Cliicngo. Mr. Cliaso wanted a . , reo > ort from the committee that ivaa appointed a year ago to tirgo tlio Omaha & Northern rail way scheme. .The secretary read the names of the cmiuliUteo as follows : H.

IN TIIK LAM ) OF THK ALASKA8. The Industries of tlio Territory ns Seen liy an Onmlinn. "Toll you something about Alaska ? " said Robert Harris , of the firm of Harris & Fisher yesterday afternoon , repeating the query of a BKI ; reporter. "I don't know that thorc is anything of interest to people hero that I could say of the coun try , Iho' I found much there that inter ested mo. " "In the fir t place when and how did you got there ? " "Wo left hero July ? 3 , and went by the way of St. Paul to Portland , Oregon , the starting place for all trips to the land of the Alaskas and British possessions. Then wo wont via Tacoma and Seattle to Vic toria , where wo took a steamer for Sitka on the southern coast of Alaska. Silka is a place of some 1.500 people , who are divided into three classes , Indians. Rus sians and Americans. It is an old Rus sian fort. It is near Sitka tlmt the princi pal industries of the country are carried on. Thusn are mining and lisliing. The fishing industry is comparatively now in this locality , though it promises to bo the greatest salmon fishing port in the world. The Columbia river salmon arc rapidly playing out and many of the limdiniT lisiiingestablishmuntsaro pulling up and locating on the Alaskan shores , where the finest .salmon in the world are found in apparently unlimited quantity. A number of largo establishments are already at work. " "And the " mining industry ? "Alaska is rieli in gold and silver ore. The great trouble is to develop tlio mines. There is ono largo mine called the Douglas Island that is being worked in the proper shape. It was bought by the Treadwoll brothers , who ppont about $800,000 in developing it and then called in Senator .Tonys of Nevada and Gov ernor Stanford of California to help them out. They don't dig for the ore like they do in other minus. They just quarry the quartz out of the mountain like wo do rouk. The company have smelling works eight on the grounds and are able to work dm mines properly. There is but little chance for the pros pectors , as the ! , ' ore is not valuable enough to be tr'iansp.orted in bulk and mines to pay must bo developed on the grounds , liotween ! ! 00 anil 400 men are em ployed in the mines. The most of them tire Indians , who ate generally hard workers. About eighty Chinumen were at work in the mines , but tljjay 'ij'oro taken by the whites , placed pn , bojinl a steamer and sent out of the cpiiUtry on the pain of death if they returned. " D"\Vhnt is tlio nature of the climate and the products. " > * ' "Alon/ / ; the coast whore wo wore , the weather js very , .plfja anti from May to September , b.ut.laok'0f' ) > , the mountains they , don't makcjt Upturn me tors capable of indicating thdidegreo of cold. They don't raise much of anything. The na tives live on fish , principally , and a berry called the salmon berry , which nearly corresponds with our raspberry in size and flavor. Thoyget a boar and other game once , in awhile. The white people live on imported goods entirely , and con sequently theircost of living is very high. It is tlio worst country in tlio world for a poor man. A man witli capital enough to go into the mining or lisliing business in Alaska would find it a profitable if not a pleasant field for investment. " Mr. and Mrs. Harris returned homo by the way of San Francisco and Los Angeles , arriving hero on Sat urday. They visited Yellowstone park on their wa > out and the Yosemite . valley on their homeward journoy. Mr. Harris .speaks in the liigho t terms of tlio .beauty of the Yellowstone and the facili ties for visiting it , but is not HO unthuias- lie over the Yosomitu , as ho thinks the sisrht tloes not repay ono for the hard ships that have to be undergone to roach the place and the lack of suitable ac commodations for tourists after the val ley is readied. Mr. Harris says that a man with n for tune at his disposal could find many pleasanter places in the west to live , but for business and enterprise Omaha is yet in the load by a largo majority. Ho is especially convinced of Iho fact after a study of the business of St. Paul and Minneapolis and thinks Omaha will lead both of these citys in the near future. The Mnrdl Grna Meeting. The young gentlemen who were inter ested in the mardi gras of Friday night last , met last evening at iho olllco of W. G.
