THE COMING RUSSIAN.
V isit-of—the .Grind) Doke Alexis of nook
ssa to the tinned Motes,"
Apropos of the visit of the Grand Duke
Alexis of Russia, the following well-authenti
cated anecdote is given :.
The young man belongs to the Rbiminti
navy, and a year ago, when acting as midship
man, the vessel to whicb he was assigned was
wrecked oft the coast of Denmark: This
vessel, by the way, was the Alexandre New
ski, a_ fn Yhei
iecame ce la t lat the ship could not be
saved the Admiral ordered the men to .the
life-boats, and, wishing to insure the safety of
the royal Midshipman, ordered Min • to take
command of the that boat. The Grand - Duke
was on duty atthe time on deck,: and,.
understanding, the Admiral's reasons for
giving the order, refused point blank to obey
it. "My ditty," he said,"is here, and' I must
be the, last to leave the ship." "Do you
know, sir," demanded the Admiral, " that
you are under my command, and dare 'you to
refuse to obey my orders ?" "." I will obey,"
the youpg man.anewored firmly, " any ordure
vou may cliaoee to give me, except the one to
leavee the ship, where it'is rnY_ duty now,to re
: main:''. As it.wae impossible to. enforce ohe
dience4indermuch -eircumstancesi , theAdmi--
ral was Oliged to yield thepoint, and the
r's
Empero son was the last to leave the ship.
As soon as the landing was effected and prepa
rations were made to ebeampou the shore the'
Admiral ordered the brave young middy to be
pladed under arrest for disobedience'of orders.
Having done so he despatched to the. Emperor,
an acconfit - of the whole atlair. To this the
Emperor at once replied : "I. approve your
having put the midshipman Alexis under
arrest for disobedienee; and I bless my boy for
- havieg.disobey ed." - The -Grand—Duke-is de
scribed as being a most remarkably handsome
titan... He is twenty-two years' old.. The cow,
piiment:of -.his intended visit to the United
States Is to be appreciated when it is knoWn
t hat it will be the first time the son of a Russian
Emperor has Visited a republic. He will
probably reach America 'as early in 1871 'as
possible, in order that be may visit Congress
while in session. He will attend that body in
htll tiniferni. and be presented by the Russian
Minister. also in uniform, for the Grand Duke
to come as the immediate representative of
his royal father, the Emperor. Mr. A. T.
Stewart, of New York, has offered his magniii
eept new house in Fifth avenue to be used by
Lee Gland.Duke — dnring - hisstay in New - or.
and the Emperor has been notified of this po
liteness on the part of the merchant, prince,
for he cab only decide whether or not the
otter shall be accepted.

The I)einocratic nomination at New Castle
on Saturday was the most disgtheeful Seehe
ever in rhat town: The two, eandidates from,

with whisky fot .weapons,. and. there, was in
consequence a carnival of drunkenness and
disorder that will make the day one long to be
remembered. Aristocrats and plebeians were
all drunk together Boys under 16 years of
ag,e and men froth other, Hundreds came in
and voted, and then promptly got drunk. No
ass than six regular tights occurred dur

to be mainly hetWebb - the Red Lion

Democracy. The Red Lion crowd were at last

been a hundred runken men and boys in the
WWII, who went yelling and shouting through
the streets like wild beasts, and all good citi

LAFAYETTE COLLEGE, EASTON
Important Document Received
The Paris liegister, of May 14th, says that
the distinguiihed French engineer, M. de Les
seps, has presented to the Engineering De
partment of Lafayette College a complete set
of the documents, maps, reports, plans, &c.,
bearing upon the Suez Canal from its incep
tion until the present day.•
Lafayette College has recently secured some
rare and valuable works relating to the early
history of America, of which one is a weir
preserved copy of Ptolemaeus, 1525, giving
an account of Columbus's discoveries; also
the famous • Chro.mi co n N ure üburge.nse,"
published in 1493. • It is profusely embellished
with handsolue woOfi-cuts by Wohlgemuth,
the master of Albert Durer. Its chief value
in an American library consists in its being
one of the first books existing that gives an
account of the earliest voyages to the New
World. It contains the famous passage of
Jarobtun Callum and Martin Bahaim, and
their travels in America. The most valuable
work'obtained by President Cattell is a fine
copy of " Soling," edition of 1520. This
contains the first map that bears the name of
America.
It is inscribed " America Provincia," and
yet, singularly enough, has another insCrip
don giving the credit of the discovery—not
to Americus Vespucius—but to Columbus,
placing the data-however, at A,-D:1497:
Of this there seems to be no copy in any of
the great American libraries. Such additions
as these to the library of an American Uni
versity will be of great advantage to all wish
ing to consult it_on questions pertaining to the
early history of the Western Continent.

THE COURTS.
INCOME TAX' IN INDIA.
Evasion Genevall—ats Penticton's 'Wisp
encerand Inequality. ,
The consequences attending the colle-Rion
of an income tar in India are thus described
in a letter to the Letidon Timexby Mr.S.Laing,
M. P., ex-Finance Minister of India. It Is
plain tbat the oldections lie gives have, to a
great extent, agerieral. application :
Onelninst have been in. India to understand
the really formidable Objections 'which exist
-to- • • - ..* -
idea of an inquisition into incomes is abhor
rent to the Oriental mind. Evasion, only too
common even in England, becomes almost a
virtue in the East, and the point of honor is to
cheat the assessor. Suspicion and alarm are
also carried to an extent which, to an Euro
pean mind, appears almost incredible.
When .1 was in India there were several
well authenticated cases of suicide, committed
by persons in respectable positions, for no
other motive than to escape assessment for
the income tax. Il barbarous frontier tribe
revolted, and when the cause was investigated
it was found that some over-zealous collectors
bad sent the chieis assessment papers.under
Schedule I)....Moreover t _the native_agents,.
m
through who, the details of assessment -and
collection •of an. income tax man necessarily
he worked, are often corrupt, and too apt to
extort 'money by - abusing the authority of
their position, and playing upon the imagi
nary terrors of those subjected to assessment.
The result is that the minimum of income is
obtained from the native - population - with a.
maximum of annoyance and discontent.
Then, as regards "the European - portion' of
the community, the income tax falls heavily
on a class of men who, as ageneral rule are
ill able to support it, viz., the officers of'-the
-civil-and r military- service: - The-days -are-long
gone by when fortunes could - le made in
India; and the increased .cost of living; the
support of - families in England, and other
things which have become necessities, have
reduced the governing class in India, as a
general rule, to the position of poor gentle
, men.
They are probably the finest class of admin
istrators in the world, take them all in all;
thorough English gentlemen developed by
the responsibilities of their position often into
.oldiers and statesmen—almost always into
men of intelligence and acquirements. But
they are poor, and, as a general rule, have a
hard struggle to maintain their position.
critertn - takh sixpence or seven
pence in the pound oft such men's incomes,
which were almost the terms of the contract
tinder which they enlisted fdr service in-an
unhealthy climate, for no State -necessity, but
to enable some Secretary of State to boast-that
1w is arigi d financier, by charging the Cost of
building barracks and constructing forts and
railways to annual revenue, and -thus manu
facturing a - deticit when the Budgets of any
other civilized State in the world would show
a surplus.
THE CANADIAN FISHERIE.I.
The Coming tiquohble.
The London' Telegraph of May 24th intimates
that if the.present dispute abmittheeanadian.
fisheries leads to strife between the Dominion
anti the - United States, _England will have no
hand in it. . The following is the language.. of
Toe Telegraph :
Yesterday's despatch from New York about
the Canadian fisherieS 'refers to a Iliaputed
qiiestion that, if carefully mismanaged, might
lead to strife. There wore old treaties under
which American fishermen bad certain privi
leges of fishing in Canadian waters : but these
treaties are now extinct, and until_ their re
newal Unite , l States subjects.must fall ba.ckon
their bare international right. This consists
.iniply in liberty to fish in any water not less
t bun three mi les from -• the • Canadian coast.
One would think this expression simple
enough, and capable of easy interpretation ;
but it is not so, for the question
arises, if there is a deep and enmparativel:
uarrOw Canadian bay, might not the foreign
ers fish in the bay, and still keep three miles
from any actual Canadian laud Therefore,
-ay the colonial statesmen, the coast line must
he presumed to be drawn from headland to
headland of such bay. But if so, reply the
Americans, you might enclose whole tracts of
• . • ' ee r such_a.line_drawn-aetev
ihe Bay of Biscay would give an enormous
,weep of national water to the sea-coast
" 'Where to draw the line" is there
tore the old difficulty which we see here re
newed. The question can be settled only
by Canadians and Americans discussing
it as a matter of give and take. The
trade between the two countries is of grow
ing importance, and if the United States give
an equivalent in the shape of some reduction
of tariff, the Canadians will no doubt be quite
ready to grant, by way of reciprocity, exten
sive privileges to Yankee fishermen. .Fortu
nately for us we are " out of it;" since the
question concerns Canada—in these matters a
practically "independent power"—and the
United States its great neighbor. The United
States Government has, we learn, warned
American fishermen to respect the- Canadian
regulations, and has thus smoothed the way
for compromise.

To t be - Editor of Mt? I Crave a few
lines in your valuable paper; not for my justi
fieation altogether,' but rather to refute
some flagrant charges brought actainst me.
As regards my recent lecture, allow me to
h tate that such it was not. _Bat was it inV_
au ,a at e . " 0,03. a See. issue.
my advertisement, which stated that IL would
lecture on the " Equality . of Woixien," and the
. wrongs of my distinguished mother, Lola
ontez, and in all probabilitY, ifl had been
left to myself . I should unqufttiouably have
proven to ,my audience that I had not as
cended the rostrum for the mere purpose of
gaining notoriety, but that I had appeared in
public for the purpose - ot delivering the lec
ture as announced by the press on a subject of
great interest.
What Sorosta
It was my desire to appear' in my own at
tire, and not in a mascWina garb. I had'in
tended „to wear a- long black silk dress, with
sacque orthe - same roateriali-brit-rtvaS-diTetr
ruled by two of the leading members of Soro
sis, who counselled me to appear in gorgeous
attire, and, considering their age and experi
ence, I complied with their wishes. For fully
fifteen minutes I conversed with Mrs. S.. and
Mrs. P. before going - upon the stage, and net
a single word or displeasure against my style
of attire fell unon my ear. On the contrary,
- Alm. P. called me "a glonous 'creature," and
Mrs: S. told me not to stand like a stick upon
the rostrum, but to walk to and fro, thereby
giving a graceful flow to my train. I made
_rny_ appearance at seven minutes.
past eight o'clock, and not at
nalf-past eight, as was stated. After
speaking some three Minntes - I WAS told—nay,
almost forced—to leave the stand. Receiving
such untoward treatment at the hands of one
who bad promised to aid me, I, as a natural
consequence, lost what little presence of mind
I bad. and gave way to a regular "stage
fright." May I not blame others as well. as
myself for this? had desired to impose
upon the credulity of the public I should have
gone elsewhere, and not appeared in New
York, where the press is so powerful and can
make or mar one? . No. The fact is that there
was something radically wrong in the advice
-given- - me—by- those - - I-thought lily friends;
Without the slightest hesitation I acknow
ledge my lecture of the 2d instant to have been
a failure, but am unwilling to be spoken of as
"a fraud." v .
Whatever error . I may have committed I am
perfectly willing to rectify and make good.
Least of all do I desire that those 'who ex
tended disinterested patronage to me should
suffer by my failure. I received much pecu
niary assistance for which - I - feel deeply grate
ful, and I received temperate advice, which I
neglected under'piessure_from others; •I did
intend and was advised to lecture on my
mother alone—a subject with' which tanfrier
fectly conversant-burl was__ driven_ into the
woman's question , and on that I failed.

don of the maSkiere of Jews in Roumania is not
true. There is no possible real in for doubting
the sultitantial'accuraey of the despatch as
origihallyAitiblished by the American Press
Assolfilion, and almost — immediately con
firmed by the Askociated Press. The agent of
the American PreSs AsSodiation telegraphed
to the London agent for confirmation and ex
-planation, and his answer, in another column;
leaves, we fear, no hope for contradiction. It
is probable, and we fain hope it will prate so,
hatin the hurry of transmission some of the de
tails may have been exaggerated. Such things
frequeittur lunarrating events of terror
and magnitude. It was so in our early rebel
lion battles, and in the New Orleans massacre.
It would also be to the interest of Turkey to
soften the-details, and to avoid in some way
the anger of the Christian world which such a
massacre would occasion. What we know is
that for a long time there have been discontent
affil - relrgi - 51 - lAiscoririTatotnnania. e Tree
Church has been peculiarly severe in its
dealine-s with the Jews. The Czar has been
harsh in his military and eivil laws. The
Jews have been prosperous and thrifty, and
to religions fanatieism. jealousy and hatred
were added. This information is based on
.lespatches received by the Central Committee
) 1 the Israelite Universelle Alliance at Paris.
Yet,. with every corroborating evidence, the
A!•soomted Press journals would have us be
lieve that some grave hoax has been per
petrated ; something, for instance, like the
Associated Press announeement of the City
of Boston's arrival. The Trilnwe, discrediting
Mr. Smalley, and not being familiar with its
own despatches, intimates that it was manu
factured in New York by the American Press
Association, which it calls an " irresponsible
association," and, being " unable to buy the
news, finds a ready resource in inventing it."
We have seen and fully scrutinized the cable
despatch received by the A. P. A. from Lon
don. It came from our agent, who has never
failed us, and who has frequently furnished
readers of the Tribune the most interesting
news, and is a clear, full, intelligible despatch.
Is it not time that newspapers with high and
honorable name like the Tribune should cease
to be the ' lackey of the Associated
Press, and hasten to defame and throw cyn
icism upon the honest news of careful and
painstaking news-gatherers ? This striking
evidence of the accuracy of the news furnished
to the New York Standard by the \Association
which- does it such good-service-cannot be
lost tipon an independent presS.—.Y. Y.

The Roumania Massacre.
DEATH PENALTY IN PRUSSIA.
The Nev Code.
A motion, excluding the punishment of
death from the new penal code about to be
ailepted in North Germany, was withdrawn
on May 23d in the North German Parliament.
n err Bismarck, in opposing the motion, said
that the Federal Governments had - fmide con
siderable sacrifice to insure the adoption of
the new code, and that if tho death penalty
were abolished, the unity of the law would bo
destroyed, and two classes of German citizens
he established. The North Gei.utan Co r re
-1)(, nflu,t points out that the new code is in
many respects superior to the existing law of
Prussia. Its general tendency is to lighten
punishment. The North Gm/um Uorrespoodeot
says, indeed that, should the new code be in
troduced, "the sum total of the sentences of
imprisonment passed in Prussia alone would
be annually decreased by thousands of years."
THE WALLS OF TROY.
THE SAN DOMINGO SWINDLE.
Unfavorable Remora Concerning. Me
Dom Doxology,- Treaty Alegotlatlons.
The Washington correspondent of the Herald
says:
For some time past there have been rumors
in eirculAion to the effect that an investiga
tion would be set on foot by the Senate con
cerning the manner in which the San Domingo
treaty was negotiated and other matters con
nected therewith. Senator Sumner stated to
our---= - -corresporiderne=thne---ag. : .
Senators had advised him to move. as
the Chairman of the Committee on For
eign Relations, for such an investigation,
and that they had furnished him with facts
which, could they be substantiated,
would warrant an investigation. To all state
ments of this sort ho steadily replied that if
the proof was placed in his hands he would
feel-it to be his duty to ask. the. Senate to take
action. He was not disposed, however, to do
anything that-would injure the reputation of
certain persons connected with the treaty.
Thepresence here of Joseph Warren Fabens
in the character of the representative of the
Dominicangovernment has, it appears, added
freaks - 41) . 1moms to thoseAlreadyentertained by
Senators relatite to the treaty. Mr. h'abens,it
seems,has Re were as an en voy pot usually con
ferred on ministers and plenipotentiaries of the
first class. He informed Mr. Sumner that he
bad full powers to do as he pleased. President
Baez bad not given him any instructions. He
had nothing in this line from Baez but a carte
blanche, with Baez's name signed to it. If the
treaty in its present shape _could not be.ratifled
ho was willing to' amend it in any shape Mr.
Sumner would suggest. All he wanted was
to have St. Domingo annexed, and he
was not particular about the manner
in - - which it was - done. This after
noon, while the Senate was in Executive
session, General Schurz, -a. member of -the
Foreign Relations Committee, offered a reso
lution instructing_that Committee lb investi
gate the manner in which the treaty was ne
gotiated ; the relations of Mr. Fabeus and
Mr. Cazenau thereto ; the amount which the
island will ultimately cost the United States
provided it is annexed; the ripiantity of land
and other property in St. Domingo now
claimed by certain parties ; the amount of
the public debt of the Dominican govern
ment, &c., with powers to examine witnesses
and to send for persons and papers. Senators
Thayer and Morton objected to the_resolution_
and under the rules it went over until the
next executive session, when it is the inten
tion of Senator Schurz to call it up. There
are various theories among. Senators about the
object of the resolution. Some think it is in
troduced just at this time for the purpose of
having an unfavorable effect upon the,treaty
by throwing suspicion upon it; others are
of opinion that the object is to post
pone_ action on the treaty until after
the Ist of July, the time at which the ratifica
tions are to be exchan"ed.„, Senator Schurz
declares that helms no other object in alibiing
the resolution except to get at the truth ex
falt.ity of the various statements made concern
ing-the negotiation of the treaty. — The - friends
of the treaty will tight the resolution, and as
it onlyrequires a majority vote to defeat it, it
is believed that it will not be adopted. An in
vestigation of this kind will have one good ef
fect at least. It yvill either establish the truth
of all the stories afloat, or result in clearing
away spots on the reputation of several gentle
men whose names have been mixed up un
pleasantly with the negotiations.

MUSICAL.
English Opera at the Academy.
—The Richings English Opera Company
began an engagement at the Academy of Music
;ast night, with Adam's comic opera, The
P(0;114 , 11(11 Loqiiontatt. Years ago this opera
was a great favorite in Philadelphia. It was
sung very often upon the stage, and the popu
lar airs were arranged for piano and voice,
and were sold in the music stores to the young
ladies of the period, to be hammered out upon
the shrill pianos which Were then in fashion.
The opera has not been given here more than
once or twice for many years past, and upon
its preSentation last night much of it was
entirely new to the younger persons present.
It is a very charming composition, and is
well worthy of a place upon our stage. It
is tilled with beautiful melodies and with
charminglconcerted music, which is in nice
accord with the spirit of the inter
esting plot and sprightly or pathetic
as occasion may require. Some of the airs are
really remarkable for their originality and
beauty, and We ean eaSily'iiiideriltandu , hy, in
days gone by, they should have caught the
popular fancy, and have been whistled and
sung and played by everybody. The orches ,
tration is even better than the vocal score. It.
is full fl i t delightful effects from beginning to
end, and is written with elaborate care, and
with skill and tine sensibility which prove the
genius of the author. It is simply fair to say
of Mr. Behrens' orchestra that it played this
graceful and elegant music last night in such
an admirable manner that uo fault can pos
sibly be found with" the performance. The
members of the company also acquitted them
selves handsomely. Mrs. Bernard upon her
appearance was greeted so warmly that
she must have been convinced of the
existence of a peculiarly good feeling for her
among the audience. She sustained the char
acter of " Madelaine," and gave a most
satisfactory personation. Her voice is as fresh
as ever, and her execution, as of old, - is ro•
tuarkable for its care and-precision, and cot
rectness. She played with grace and feeling;
and rare good humor throuhout the opera.
The performance of Brookhouso BoWler as
" Chanelou " was in many respects capital,but
it hardly deserves unstinted praise. Mr.
Bonder sang flat over and over again iu sey
-erid of the prettiest aits f iandnpon several oc
casions he indulged the ugly, trick of sliding his
voice into falsetto,where he had to take a - high
note. This is abominable, and would ruin the
reputation of any singer: - But Mr. Bowler
sung much or the music well and he ' acted
throughout with spirit, intelligence and
grace. We have recognized him upon former
occasions as an artist of very considerable
merit. , Mr. Henry O. Poakes appeared as
" Bijou" and gave a good performance. His
singling was marred by hoarsenessi_and.:Mr_
Peakes was unable to do himself complete
justice. He haS q stiperb bass voice, and he is.

act-night Mr. Behrens the musical direotOr
of the company will have a benefit, and he
promises to present Me Huguenots in splendid*
