THE SITUATION IN HANOVER.
Public Alarm at the Idea of Annexation
to Primula Determination to Support
the Independence of the Kingdom.
JImwver August 4) Correspondence of London Pout.
The apprehension that Prussia has serious in
tentions of aniiex;n2 the kingdom, of Hanover
has gained ground here during tne last two days,
ami the punnc mmrj, m all clashes ot tne popu
lation, is rrreatly alarmed. In order to leave no
possible doubt on the mind of King William or
the Prussian Government of the desires and bias
of this population, addresses have been prepared
to be forwarded to his Majesty oi Prussia. They
unanimously express tne Idea which fills tho
Hnnoveiian mind, viz.: that the Hanoverians
cliue tenaciously to their independence, ro
their autonomy, and to their dynasty; that they
would not consent to be . incorporated with
Iru!-sla; aad that they would refuse to sacrifice
anything more than certain rights of sove
reignty demanded by the Prussian Government
bciore tbe catastrophe namely, the uniting iu
the Prussian bands the military and diplomatic
power of the North of Germany. The addresses
out into circulation expressing those ieclines
were eagerly covered with Pignatures durlntr
the first twenty-four hour?. The addresses also
express the strong hope that tbe King ot Prussia
(even if it should unhappily be the case that his
intentions exceeded these concessions) would

But It is too evident that the Prussian provin
cial authorities here ate. moat unfortunately.
deciccd on preventing the wishes of the people
irom Demi; openty manncstea ana reaching tue
ears of King William. The 10188180 Commis
sioner has not only seized these addresses in
the printing bouses, but has ordered the respec
tive authorities, under severe penalties, to stop
their circulation as mucn as possiDie. stringent
orders have been eiven to the public journals
foroidding any mention of these addresses, on
penalty ot Deing suspenaea. xne pu on cat ion
of oho journal has been stopped, and that of
another is threatened. Here I may no
tice briefly, and by Way of illustration, the fact
that' the former Minister of the Interior,"
Count Borries, has been menaced with banish
ment becausb,'on a violent requirement to do so,
he refused to retract the opinions contained In
certain articles which he had inserted in a pub
lic journal in which he bad occasionally written.
Exactly at this luncture the Prussian garrison
is strongly increased here, and from all appear
ances it would seem to be decided at Berlin that
the opinions and demonstrations of a popula
tion of nearly 2,000,000 should be coerced.
Nearly the whole of these 2,000,000 cling
stronely to their autonomy, independence, and
dynasty. I must repeat that it was declared, at
the orcupution of the capital, that Prussia ma le
war only against Governments, and not agaion
peoples. In this state ot things it seems im
portant and necessary that public opinion
abroad, and especially in England, should bs
enlightened as to what Is parsing here. , ,
Prussia' Reply to the Demand of Russia
for a Cougreaa.
' The Berlin correspondent of the limes, in a
letter dated the 4th instant, says:
"Prussia, in reply to tbe Kussian demand tbat the
redivision of Germany should be maae the suujeot
ol common deliberation at a European Congress, has
declined to enteriain any proposal of the kind. It
she is to attend a Congress at all it must be convened
lor the avowed purpose ot taking note of and sanc
tioning, as It were, whatever changes she may have
previously worked out on her own responsibility.
"Tbe Caciques, as the fugitive princes have been
contemptuously dabbed since begin mug to clamor
lor lorolgn interference, may despatch letters and
ambassadors to all points ot the compass, but w ill
not change this determination of their victorious and
confident foe. It oould be only in oase of a new war
and a senes of signal reverses in tbe field that Prus
sia would abate her claims on this head."

have the pleasure to forward you a certificate of

every respect to the one which, alter consultation
has been given to the. Anglo-American Telegraph
Company. . ' .,. t, .
"lbe cable, as yon have doubtless already heard,
is In a most satislac'ory electrical condition, ana
with the apparatus now used gives lully six words
per minute. With improved apparatus it will rive
much more, and by the use of codes 1 expect lully
thrice that speed will be obtaiied. ihe piesent
signals are strong and exoollent.
"Before leaving Sheernesa, tbe insolation of the
cable waa 713 millions Siemens units per knot. This
steadily increased a tne cable was paid out. and is
now us high as 2800 million units pur knot. This in
crease is due partly to temperature and partly to
pressure, and I will shortly calculate the influence
of thete combined causes, and give you the insula
tion of tliis cable and the Persian Gull cable at a
uuilorm temperatme and pressure tor comparison.
"It is to be regretted tbat tbe Newfoundland line
is not in an efficient state, a that would have added

-", Another and aq astounding sensatiod in the
Police Department la promised in a few days,
involving the good fame,' if not the liberty, of a
number of policemen who have thus lar been In
good repute. Matters In this connection have
not been fully developed yet, but rumors of a
conflicting nature have been rite for weeks pasr,
and the explosion, when it occurs, it is said will
be of so startling a nature as to shake the whole
labrlcot tbe department to its toundattoo, and
make the magnates at the Mulberry Street head
quarter tremble for tbeir positions. i
, The officials at headquarters have been un
usually reticent in regard to this business, but
outsiders have noticed an unwonted bustle and
excitement s bout the office' where Superinten
dent Kennedy holds court. What the result of
all this turmoil will be is yet to be seen. Rumor
bus it that several policemen, some say but three,
while others give the number as high as seven,
have been arrested and are now held in durance
vile. These policemen are charged with all sorts
of crimes, such as compounding lelonlfS, taking
bribes to release prisoners arrested by them,
and to allow those to go at large whom tbey
have causelessly threatened with arrest for ima
ginary offenses. - 1
What these charges will' amount to when
brought to light of course cannot at present be
imagined, but the chiefs at the Mulberry street
establishment look dubions and apparently
alaimed. Some of the policemen have been
under arrest tor a number ot days, and why
tbev have not been treated as ottrcr prisoners.
and taken before a police lustice. is a mystery
vwhich requires explanation. The men have
Deen mysteriously spirited away from their
lamilies and confined in out-of the-way places,
and their friends and relatives denied all access to
them. In fact, the first intimation of their
arrest was obtained by their anxious families,
owing to their failure to return home at the usual
period. The' captains ot, the precincts to
which these men are attached are the
veriest know-nothines in regard to the matter,
and have no doubt been kept completely in the
dark, and other captains have been culled in to
"work up" the cases, as several strictly private
Interviews have taken place between several
police caritniua and the Superintendent.' A
number of affidavits have been taken by Mr.
Kennedy, fn regard to the accusation agaiust the
otliecrs, but whether these are ever to be made
publlc.orto accumulate dust at the headquarters,
remains to be seen, . At any rate, public
opinion will demand a full and Impartial In
vestigation (not a whitewashing arrangement),
and the Commissioners know best whether it is
rater for tbcm to brave public opinion in this
respect, particularly after tbe recent develop
ments in the detective department.; The opera
tions of the officers under arrest, it is said, have
extended over a period of months, and numoers
of inoffensive and Ignorant citizens have beeti
victimized by them. An extensive system of
blackmail was inaugurated, and many an inno
cent victim has been compelled to give up a
considerable percentage of their means, gained
by honest toil, to satiety the- desires ot these
cormorants. ' Thus persons whose business dut-
suits subject them to a police surveillance nave
been particularly ' attended to.i and kept In
constant dread oi arrest. It is said that a well
known character, who has no reason to be grate-
iui to tne ponce, succeed a . in gaining a know
ledge of these transactions, and, has used his
knowledge to entrap several officers who have
hitherto stood well in the. department, and who
were lately selected und specially .detailed for
oetuctive duty on tne cars, ue that aa . it may,
it is due to the officers and the public at large
that tbe whole of the facts be given to the world,
and speedily. It is stated on good : authority
that the District-Attorney, who is also the legal
aaviser to tue . lioara ot fouce, nas Deen con
sulted iu the matter, and there is no doubt that
in a day or two the public will be treated to a
great sensation. Jfew York World. , . ., ,

' Savajgcs TJtter Inefficiency of the Mili
tary Force.
Leavenworth, Kansas, August 20. A letter
dated at Fort lteno, July 31, lully sustains the
reports of the hostilities of the Indians, and the
entire inefficiency . ot tbe military lorce now
there to protect the toute. The trooos have had
a hard time. Tney have fought the Indiaus four
ttrues. From the riatte we learn that one train
had eight men killed by the Indians and a nuoi-
oer oi others wounaeo.
The Indians seemed to do all the damage pos
sible. They killed Mr. Flood, of Leavenworth,
cut his head off, and set it up in tha dirt by the
side of the road. The military there afford no
protection to .the people. They are .afraid to
go out of tbe stockade. No mail has been re
ceived lor three weeks, and no one knows when
the commander will send one. Tbey allow the
emigration trams to start on this road, and then
attoid them no protection. They are ' badly
secured. Tbe Indians are again hostile, and are
attacking the whites at every poinU, The escort
accompanying Sawyer's party was attacked near
Crazy Woman's Fork, and five soldiers were
killed and a large number wounded. All the
wounded who tell into the hands of tbe savages
were scalped and tortured in the most barba
rous manner.
An emigrant train encamped with the Chey
enne Indiana, waa attacked by a large party
of Sioux, and all the white men oi the party
killed,- and the women and children carried off.
Colonel Sawyer and his- wagon-road party were
harassed by Indians for over one hundred miles,
and were obliged , to encamp every night on
the hills away from water. The party is nbw
encamped at old Fort Reno and at Perry Fort,
on Jeweller river, closely besieged by the Sioux.
Neaily all the stock on the road has been run
off, and a great deal of suffering ta inevitable.
This route is impassable, and if those on the
way escape witu their lives they will be fortu
nate., The following persons were killed on
Reno creek, a branch ot Tongue river: ,

The New York Tribune says:-" The money
market f hows no quotable change, bnt the turn -is
iu favor of the lender. The statement shows
that' the banks are Increasing their loans and '
circulation, and decreasing their legal-tenders.
There was some 'produce paper' offering upon
the street to-dav the first ot the season and it
will not be long before the supply will be large -'
enough to affect the market sensibly. Call loans
are quoted 45 per cent., and, commercial
paper 67 per cent. The payments on account
of temporary loans, on the 27th instant, will
amount to 70,(00,000,. including interest. The
National Banks will be called on to supply
part of the amounts, and loans to; speculators
will be disturbed materially before the tempo
rary debt ia paid off." . i f .-a . i
The Boston Transcript of Saturday says: : '
"Money continues in abundant supply," and '
the market favors the borrower. Call loans are
readily obtained on good collateral at t to 6 per
cent., and the best commercial paper is in de
mand at 6 per cent, with a much higher range
for lower grades, as circumstances may require.
Tbe stock market has continued active, with an
upward movement in many of the leading specu
lative classes. Governments have been strong
at aa advance on tbe close of the previous week.
In tbe miscellaneous dividend-paying classes the
transactions have been light, with little change
