Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - May 1, 1877, Winnipeg, Manitoba Introduce five resolutions to declare tha England has just Canso to complain of the conduct of Tho Porto referring to Lori Derby s despatch last september referring to Tho bulgarian massacres declining tha Tho Porto has no further claim on Tho sup port of England that England desires in Torfe Ronce to be made now Between the combatants to Honre free local self govern Mont in the disturbed provinces and thai England desire.-, such action to be taken the Powers looking to such measures i government from Turkey As will secure humanity and Justice. Monday night is up pointed for Tho debate. It is demo that Turkey has Salced leave to occupy Servia. The Servian parliament protect Ura hit such action. Russia notifies the Powers hut the Navi gation of the Danube is Elondo. This is regarded in As a violation of treaty the does not think intends to siege constantinople. It does not think Tho russian leaders have so their sense.-., As they would then not have to Hes Iego tur key alone or England. But Tho whole of Western Europe. Demonstrations in Hungary in favor of Turkey Havo taken place. Tho number of russians who have solar crossed the truth is 1 jo.000. She gaily Tuk slav 3iay 1, 1877. , even though almost every Poison in this City and province will admit that the Kaki a kiss is enterprising there Are not Many who Havo any Coin option at what sex Penso this reputation is obtained nor shall to just now undertake to specify but Tho reception of Tho Telegraph Bill for the month of april suggests Tho propriety of mention ing that Tho item of telegraphic correspond ence Alono for that period amounts to Tho same item for Tho previous month amounted to pretty Plain speaking from England am Austria. This River is placed by treat under Tho administration of an inter National commission representing Sovei european who Havo Complete control of lilo navigation and Tho exo culion of Public improvements. It a therefore be easily understood what Marioi interests Are involved and Toiv easy it is Tor Russia to stir up a wasps nest in Lii direction. A augury. Hon. . Taylor i a. Consul Here ii the course of an article upon Tho Grasshopper question published in the St. Paul i to Neer Siva h 1 share the Hope that Manitoba and Tho Saskatchewan District now As thu North West territory have entered upon a period of exemption As prolonged As that which they once enjoyed Isiu if not i anticipate that Tho authorities will Roen it Tho Minnesota statute of March , for the destruction of Grasshopper and their that Tho older residents of Manitoba will profit by the example of their mennonite neighbors. Tho parishes along Tho red and ass Dibono Rivers i Nahatis to settlement melt Are favourably situated for the adoption of he tactics of a Locust War on the foregoing plan. The farms ire narrow holdings extending Lour Miles and the houses barely far enough part for Security from lire constitute a Eon sinuous Village with easy Access to churches did schools. Tho scotch Pai ish of Kildonan s not More than three Miles length and build Muster a skirmish line three Hundred Trong. For such a Campaign of sell defence will not enlarge upon the details. These readily be anticipated especially if Tho Bromer experience and future example of he mennonites is closely tin Wak. Though there is nothing particularly exciting in our dispatches to Day it is interest ing to Noto that history is about to repeat itself in making the Kars the Centre of important operations. This Forth cd place is Tho capital of Tho province of the Samo name which forms the most Easterly territory of Asiatic Turkey and it is situate on Tho right Bank of the River Arpa hear which is Tho Boundary Between turkish ground and Tho possessions generally spoken of As Tho caucasus. Tho place became famous during Tho crimean War owing to the stub born defence of Brod to Tho russian be Siegers by general sir w. Fenwick Williams. After the Garrison which was we believe entirely turkish had undergone along Wilh their Gallant commander dreadful suffer Ings and Relief became absolutely Hope less a capitulation became inevitable. Accordingly on Tho Ostli november , Kars was surrendered to Tho russians under highly honorable conditions to the besieged who marched out with All the honors of Drums beating and colors of All rank being Al loved to retain their sword in testimony by their foes o their valorous resistance it is characteristic of the generous impulses of the British nation that the of this important a i never a source of reproach to Den. Williams who it generally re cognized had Dono oven More than could have been expected of him and to thenceforward known As the pm 1 on the 8th March following a vote of thanks was passed by both of parliament to Tho soldiers and sailors then on their Home from the russian War and this followed in the of commons the Reading of a Royal message requesting1 that a pension of per annul to conferred on Williams for Tho Gallant de Fence of it is needless to say the suggestion was enthusiastically adopted. The news that Roumania has decided to give Aid and Comfort to Russia during Tho contest has been anticipated. Things have been tending in this direction All along. The determination of Servia to refuse Tho turks any foothold in her territory shows that she is to be recognized As a passive ally of Russia. I u Ron Fra there is a movement in Hungary of decided sympathy with tur key which May before Long increase the embarrassments of Tho situation. Or. Mad Stone seems Sterr Ninon to bring about a crisis in Tho British parliament but it is to be doubted whether political agitation under present circumstances is to to regarded As True patriotism. Even supposing that the Beaconsfield ministry have muddled their Eastern policy Abraham Lincoln s quaint observation As to the danger of Swap Ping horses while crossing a Ford is Likely to suggest itself to the minds of the English people should a change of rulers at Thi juncture be proposed to them. It is unavoidable that names will get mixed occasionally in transmission by Telegraph thus we imagine that Tho Ibrahin mentioned in our despatches to Day As the place where the russians Are building a Bridge presumably to Cross Tho Danube is really Ismael an important fortress in Bessarabia on Tho Killian Arm of the Danube which was taken from the turks by suwarrow in 1790. It May also to Well to mention that the name of the place suggested in saturday s despatches As where the russians proposed to make a crossing should not Havo been spelt in exactly the same As that of the Cap ital of Servia but Bol Grad Tho action of Russia in declaring the navigation of the Danube closed though doubtless essential to Tho successful prosecution of hoi military Enterprise is Jik Cly to bring about very speedily some h Mounter. Purser Wildman of the Steamer de on Tho morning of the , eighty mites South of taboo Island tells a graphic Story of Tho discs Tor. To says that at about three o clock while a Terr Iii sea was rolling it was discovered that some freight Between deck.-, had got Loose and was pushing about. The hatches were opened for the purpose o securing the freight when to Tho horror of Tho angry forked tongues of tire shot up. Tho Hoso was at onco brought into the fierce Ness of Tho Gale fanning the Lames which had already gained considerable headway rendered unavailing their most strenuous efforts and Apt. Lames Daniels ordered the life boats lowered. The Captain with several of fliers hurried to the Forward deck for Tho purpose of securing lie life raft which was in the Cap Tain it Cabin and dispatched aft another gang under of flip chief Engineer in lowering the boats.

In the Cabin Wero two Middle aged ladies two misses Karrington natives of Nassau and members of a wealthy and prominent family of that Ince uric on their Way Home after a unit to the North and Savannah. They were both in feeble health and Ellbry were. Made to get them out but owing to Tho Leai Ful lolling of tin ship and the rapidity with which the Lames j All efforts Wero unavailing and it i Almo i certain they in the i the Only other Mest i a Neudick of new York who housed a commotion on deck came up and then pit into one of the lifeboats.

The stewardess who on deck was called to jump to the raft and in attempting to do so fell into the sea and notwithstanding every Effort was made to set ure her she w i s drowned. The persons on the raft were huddled to Gether in a cramped position to Early naked cold and shivering. A heavy wave Tho raft throwing the occupants into the sea. They scrambled upon it again except Ono Martin who was lost. Alter to most Hon Idle time Drifting at Tho Mcacy of the the men cheered by the of a vessel bearing Down upon them which in a Short time took All off. The Captain of the in Coivin ship discover ing the burning ship Boro towards her and thus came upon the raft. Tho rescued party saw nothing of those who got into the lifeboats there is a probability however that they have been rescued As the disaster occurred directly in the course of vessels coming to Savannah or Duhov.
