Washington, Not. 80. —Superintendent Bell, of the foreign mail office has received from Postmaster Pearson, of New York, the list containing the registered numbers of mail matter Bent by steamer Elder which was stolen in Belgium. It contain-d 150' pack ages; all but seven packages arc reported lost. Tlie packages recovered were: Two froiii Philadelphia, two from Shenandoah, Pa.; two from Baltimore, one from Norwich, Conn., and one from Washington. Of the packages lost, 67 were front New York city; Baltimore, 3; Bismarck, D.

Mr. Bell states that under postal union regulations for mail originating in the United States, which is lost la transit in any country in Europe, no responsibility attaches either to this country or to the country in which the robbery occurs. This state of affairs exists from the fact that congress refuses to sanction acquiescence on that clause of the postal union regulations which provides for reciprocal responsibility for lost mail. A BURGLAR ALARM TOLD OF THEIR Sea. Greenwood Would Give no Quarter Cincinnati, Nov. 80.—The grounds lot t hp contest of Speaker Carlisle's seat in the Fiftieth congress of the United Stn'cs, hare been presented by Hon. L. A. "Wool, of Covington, and jrere signed by Mr. George H. Thobe, the contestant. The allogkt!ons are numerous, and it requiree forty-five pages of legal cap paper to recite them all. The petition of Mr. Thobe starts out by alleging that there were cast for Mr. Thobe I,000 legal votai in the Sixth congressional district-of Kentucky, which by omissions, mistakes, or fraud and collusion of election officers of various precincts and voting placee and "comity- canvassing boards, were got counted and returnod for Mr. Thoba. The poll books and returns of Trimble Ooijnty were all in violation of the lawy»nd were opened within less than three days after said election. OPERATIONS, to Anarchists. St. LotJis, Not. 80.—Gen. A. G. Greenwood, who served with distinction in tbo Confederate army and emigrated to Mexico after the war closed and has resided there since, is now in this city on a tour of the United States. When asked how the present state of the government of Mexico compared with that of fourteen years ago, he laid: "Vastly improved. Very much better and constantly Improving. Then, too, the prospect for a continuance of these circumstances is extremely flattering. Mexico needs more railroads and they are constantly being constructed. She needs mora live, industrious people to develop her vast mineral fad agricultural wealth, and that class of people are ooostantly coming into the country. The oountry, as a general thing, is healthy. We have a good government in Mexico; keep a standing army of at least 100,000 for the purpose of regulating strikes and Anarchists. We dont have sfrikes in Mexico, nor riots, nor bomb throwers. Whf B* lUsll land Should be Free for 'slQ to Think* when a Kan |M«s *Is VIMe to lands 8hon1d Cease. Strikes and Boycotts Like Swords.

New Haven, Nov. 80.—Carll's opera house was crowded to its utmost capacity last night, the occasion being the grand rally of the United Labor party and the presence of Henry George, of New York, the principal speaker of the evening. Brief speeches wojfmiile by Pttsr J. Lynch, the labor cacdiAtafof mayor ot New Haven, and Hanry CMItiii, '« Nangatuclc, the well known Hmiry Qeorgb wto then tatroducod. After the applause liad subsided Mr. George stepped to the front of the platform and said: Men of New Haveiu X fsae hmtr ta MlT you God speed in this movement You are MHng the only right step to purify the ballot I do not know whether you can elect your candidate or not, and I do not care. Huccess does not mean the Ailing of ' ail office. We did not meet with success in our late election In New York, but we accomplished a work the news of which has traveled all oyer the Iftnd. Publio opinion in the long r-qp Mil rule. Our politics have become corrthpt because principle has gone oat of thom. The last national election turned on a question of personal rbai aeter.

The Work of the Republican party is done. -Black ArtCry has been abolished, but the cruspde nfew.begun Is a crusade for the emancipation of all mankind, both white and black. At last the laboring masses all oyer the country are organising. Strikes and boycotts, to my ti4o4 are like swords and rifles. They are ttglir weapons, aad although it may be ftn tiaB' Jn some instances to resort to not by the use of either that the worktngroen can secure their rights. All over the country a great awakening of minds has (MM going on, bat these thoughts have been crude until recently, when they have begun to crystallm The real heart of the labor question lies in the land question. Yopr candidal for mayor has told you that for over thirty years he has earned his bread by the sweat of his brow. There was some applause, but it was limited. Men do not eppfind those who earn their living In that way. The good tiling* of life, the riches and amusements, are not for the workingmen. It is not natural for men to like work. 1 never saw men tooling for work because they liked the work, and yet we have mat sivn protective tariff taws to keep work In (be country. We are building im mesa* ships-of-war that we do not want, and are told that we may need them same -tiMa, and at any rate work la furnished for thousands of men. Well, if we burned up housas we would furnish men work In rebuilding them. No man has a right to demand work of another. No man has a right to • vy to another that he must or must not, employ a certain man. What we must do is teprudaoe a condition of thing* that will tarnish an opportunity for *11 to work. What we want is that all men should have equal opportunities to secure work. Our eiViitiatton now doe* not give this.

H. Johnston's jewelry stow last evening and asked to see some diamond rings. The salesman placed on the counter a tray of valuable rings, the total value of which is stated by Mr. Johnston to have been $6,000. The stranger grabbed the tray, darted out yt the store and escaped. Paterson, N. J., Nov. 80.— Ramseys la a little village on tbe Brie road not far from the New York line, in which «ii burglaries have been committed in one store, that of Ryersou & Brother, within not many years. Thellrst four times their store was broken open with impunity taught the firm to put in an electric burglar alarm. The fifth time they suffered loss taught them to keep the alarm in order, for It had beenvout of order only two days before some one carried off no end of portable property. At 3:90 o'clock on Sunday morning the sixth burglary occurred. The alarm bell in Mr. G. I Ryerson's house, which is about seventy-Are yards from the store, began to make a racket Mr. Ryersod and his father-in-law, John Y. Dater, promptly stopped the noise, dressed themselves, and, picking up handy shotguns and revolvers, walked out into the middle of tfie street and down toward the store, which is on the northwest corner of Main street and thd railroad. The west side of the store had windows in it, but they were found closed. Lights were eepn inside through holes in the front shutters, and at the east side, next to the railroad, a panel was seen to be out of the side door. As the two men did not know how many were at work inside they resolved to wait for a shot when some one should show himself at the east side door. They found it rather lonesome after half an hour, and then neighbor H. E. Sherwood was called. He responded, with a shotgun. Barney and Henry Winters and William Fisher came next, with more shotguns, followed by Henry Ryerson, Garrett Heniou, Samuel Banta and Constable W. H. Murray, all more or less loaded with firearms. The job has all the snap and dash of the. famous robberies at the past thorities hare ioodly believed to lDe Impossible in these days.

Johnston's jewelry store is a* old established and well known institution, fietween two long show case covered counters is the space allotted to customers, who thus stand between a display of diamonds and fine jewelry on one side, and of silver plate and large wares on the other. The veto as returned was tfltt for Carlisle and ft ftll' Tjiooe and he objects to this rbunty being counted; also that the baflot boxes of Trimble county were in the custody of the county clerk of said county and were unlocked, unsealed and exposed and liable to be tamrered with by said clerk or any evil disposed person. Objection is made to Grant and Gallatin courjtics, in which all sorts of frauds are alleged. No reference is made to the vote in the city of Newport, which Mr. Thobo carried by a large mujority. St. Louis should have about two regiments of soldiers stationed there all the time. Chicago needs' abont four regiments to regulate her bomb throwers. The sooner strikers— by that I mean those who will not work themselves or let any one else work—and destroyers of property and bomb throwing Anarchists are given hot lead the better It It for the country. They get It in Mexioo on short notice. Labor agitation is nothing to, compare with that of the United State*. The story of the filibustering expedition to be Cutting is a farce like CJM rest of Cutting's affairs. Everybody knew that Cutting was a coward and a scapegrace, and it is not to be supposed that anybody -with good sense would joinsuch anundertaktaking as was wppoasd." ■ "How did you look upon that affair between the United States and Mexi&jt'' At 5:80 yesterday afternoon a young man presented himself at the jewelry counter. His appearance justified the interest that he at once expressed in the matter of diamond rings. Salesman T. W. Saab, who attended upon him, set a tray of rings before him without hesitation and looked him over, a*, a matter of habit, as he did so. He saw a good looking fellow about 22 years old and five feet sevep inches high. Bis rosy, almost florid, face was set off with a light mustache. His clothing in sight above the show case, a black Derby hat and a light overcoat, were neat and stylish. As Mr. Baab finished his mechanical inspection, the stranger, who was closely examining the tray of rings, suddenly seized it, and, throwing open the street door, dashed out The long counter's opening was well away from the door, and the clerk had to run around to the gap to get out But he followed in pursuit of the daring thief. The latter had a good start, and swung out of the crowded Bowery into Broome street ill three steps. He was half way down to Elisabeth street when Baab got out to the corner, and, though there were numbers of people in Broome street, no one made any effort to stop the fugitive. Baab saw him turn down Elizabeth street, the first corner, but when be reached that point himself no sign of the thief could be seen, and there was no change in the usual life of that thoroughfare. Iq the county of Carroll, which was returned as being 425 to 275 in favor of Mr. Carlisle, all sorts of irregularities are alleged. They claim that the returns were doctored according to the majority neoded, with the knowledge of Mr. Carlisle. In many precincts throughout the district all of the election officers were Democrats, which is in direct violation of the law. In the county of Clinton, Mr. Carlisle's old home, a number of irregularities, frauds and in'Jmidations are set forth. Mr. Thobe claims that he is lawfully and legally elected, and asks for hisseat in cbn/ grass. He also wants a thorough and complete investigation of all the above allegations and a recanvass of the votes cast at the election, and that proof be heard on all of the oharges. A copy of the petition was given to Mr. Carlisle, also a copy of the notice of contest. Mr. Carlisle left for Washington to-day. Iron Holders Join the Knights of Labor. Pittsburg, Nov. 90.—The Knights of Ljibor of this section are making Increased efforts to gradually include all trades anions in their order as aepamte districts. The Iron Holders1 assembly, No. 1,090, of this eity, hit* had under consideration for some time past the advisability of going into one national trade district of the Knights of Labor. A meeting has been called for next Friday night, i(hen the question will be more thoroughly canvassed. If it is decided to form a national trade district) it is said that all the Knights of Labor molders in the United States will be included in it It will be conducted on the same principles as the Glass Workers' (fcpembly, No. 900. The movement is much the same as that which tbe Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steels Workers have under consideration, and upon which their members are now voting. ' "How!

But it wms getting along towards daylight, and the burglars began to think it time to be off. One of them stuck his head through the broken panel to see if the coast was clear. Garret Hsnion was watching tbe hole just at that time, and he let drive at the head with his shotgun. He would have shot better under some other oirstances, his neighbors say, but. this time the charge went about one foot above the place where the head was, although Henion was only about twenty feet from the doer. This shot, the burglars said afterward, was their first intimation . that they were discovered. They doused their lights at once, and, going down into the cellar, began to get rid of their arms and the stolen property. . Two revolvers and a razor were hidden by them in a barrel of oatmeal t Another razor was shoved into a soap box. The jewelry, cigars, ribbons, and ether stuff stolen w«s hidden , about the oelfa£«wMl the. articles subsequently .were recovered except two silver watches. The party outside, knowing that the men within were safely caught in a trap, did not think best to attack them in the dark. Brutality Confessed. Rxadika, Pa., Nor. 8ft—An InTuMgatfaa of the boon of Frank Kerner, who choked his wife to death and then set the building on Are to destroy the eridence of his erime, shows that he had also made preparations to blow it up by running a fuse from the upper floor into a keg of powder halo#.

Gray, tuperintendent of the state lunatic asylum in this city, died at 2:4# rfclock yesterday afternoon after a somewhat lingering illness, aged SI years. He coffered from Bright's disease. Dr. Gray, who, previous to 1853, was assistant physician of the asylum, was in that year appointed temporary superintendent. In July, 1854, he was appointed superintendent, a position which he filled with great rcceptability until hi* death. During these years he almost constantly gave his time, and experience for the good of the institution and had the satisfaction of seeing It grow up from small beginnings and imperfect instruc tion and arrangements to itB present mammoth proportions And perfection of arrangements and detail, placing it in the foremost rank among the (peat public charities of the Union and the world. en Tnonlty. All the inquiries of the detectives and jewelry store people did not result in tracing the thief beyond the corner of Elisabeth and Broome streets. The rings were quite firmly fixed in the tray, and none of them were lost in the run. The thief probably hid the whole thing under his overcoat and then with the nfrve sufficient to change his run to a cool walk he would be able to escape notice and ultimately reach some safe harbor. Bobtok, Nov. 90.—An Ottawa special to The Herald says that many Manitoba settlers are again pressing their claims to lands which they allege were acquired by them prior to tbe transfer of the country to Caufta, and which they have been deprived of. The delay in dealing with these claims and the total indifference shown by the government, it will be remembered, precipitated the country into a rebellion last year which resulted in a large lu— ui life fcnl- an addition of 110,000,000 to the national debt of the country. Precisely the same danger is again staring the government in the face. There is no Kiel now to strike the first blow, yet thssa aro otters equally as dangerous who would not fear or hesitate to resort to extreme measures if paciflo measures fail Canada's Menace.

First Case Under the Law. Washington, Nov. 90.—The first cass under tbe law to license venders of oleomargarine came up in the police court in this city. The witnesses for the government testified that tho defendant, the Rev. Fayton Harrison (colored), of Virginia, was offering prints of oleomargarine tor sale in the market, claiming that it was butter he had gotten from Virgiaia. The defendant testified that he wss a missionary, and was on his way to Pennsylvania-to be married. He bought some butter for his sister to make him a wedding cake, which butter she said was too old. He failed to find the man of whom he bought the butter, and offered it for sale. The court dismissed the case on the ground that the law requires a sale to be made, and does not take cognisance of offers to sell. The asylum was opened for the reception of patients on Jan. 18, 1843. Dr. Oray was one of the foremost experts on insanity In the United and it is doubtful If he had a superior in t VD . orld.

They were let out and were handcuffed by the constable. They said they were Frank Burns, SB years old; Joseph Adams, 23, and John Dolan, 20. They would tall nothing farther about themselves. Burns is a burly fellow and badly pockmarked. They were taken to Hockeiuack. They broke open the store with the aid of a pickax and. a monkey wrench stolen from the tool boose used by 6m Erie track hands. It was a neat Job. ■ow the Ann are fcmmwad. The Dignity ef Germany.

Berlin, Nov. 80.—The emperor granted an audience to the president and vice-presidents of the rsichstag. In conversation with them he referred to the work now before the members of the imperial legislature as being of the utmost importance to the empire. He expressed the hops that the military bill would be passed by the reiohstag in a spirit of willingness and said the other parliaments of Germany would, without doubt, show themselves disposed to meet the demands made upon, them for strengthening the army and upholding the dignity and power of Germany. It was for them to consider, the emperor said, that Germany is already outstripped by other and neighboring European states in respect of militaqr strength.

His statements were confused and his actions strange. He accounts for his whereabouts satisfactorily, during the fatal Sunday up to the hour when the girl was supposed to have been in the neighborhood of his house, in her walk to Pontiac from Hill's Grove. All the evidence now in points to this man having more or less knowledge of the crime, but it is slim and circumstantial.
