Relative to the forgeries through which many banks in Paris and throughout Europe have been swindled, the president of the Anglo-California bank of this city says that the original letters of creditwere brought here, and were counterferted in either this country or England. The work most have been executed by very skillful hands. To avoid suspicion of the genu ineness of the forged letters of credit, the forgers were careful to draw small sums on them from the London bank, in Eng land, prior to presenting checks for large amounts on the foreign banks, at Ant werp, Rome, Nice and other cities. The small amounts drawn by the swindlers from the London banks gave to the forg ed letters a tone ol genuineness, which was only to decoy and entrap other for eign banks, which ' suffered great loss. The president said that the bank here bad been advised of forgeries, in all amounting to $30,000. Ten thousand had Deen oDuunea at Jepsic, $4,000 at Ant werp and smaller amounts at Rome, Paris, Brussels and other cities on the continent. Portland w. Portland, Or., June 8.

Record of News from Over the Atlantic A MEXICAN CONSPIKACT. Tha Priesthood Ceasplilac to Crown Don Carlo KIbr. Crrr or Mrxico, June 3. Despite the fact that the organs of the clerical party ridicule the reported plot to incite revolu tion and place Don Carlos on the throne of Mexico, and that leading politicians of the liberal party assert that there is not a shadow of foundation for the sensation al report, the Monitor-Kepublicaner, a very influential liberal journal, contains to-day a significant leading article which claims to have special information for its basis. The tone of the article is intensely hostile to the clerical party. The writer begins by saying that he would have regarded the report as an offspring of that love of sensation which is a strong feature of American journalism, had it not been for certain confirmatory intelli gence received from an independent source. This private intelligence hints dimly at a vast organization with the clerical party for the overthrow of the republic and for setting up a throne in its stead and placing Don Carlos thereon. A number of wealthy Spaniards, resident here, infatuated with the wild hope of restoring the days of Spanish ascendency, are said by the writer to be implicated. But," he adds, "the prime movers are priests, those worthy successors to Ke- quemada and his compeers, the same who in 18G3 betrayed ineir country to the French, and Who would not hesitate to do the same U-day if in that way they could attain their selfish ends." The writer then launches into violent denunciation of the clerical party. He notes the increasing boldness of the church party press. "Seldom," he says, do we pick up one of those sheets but we find it filled with shameless panegyr ic, despotism and bitter invectives against those who refuse to bow their necks to the yoke of superstition, wo and hear our preachers. Instead of in culcating meekness and charity, like the founder of our religion, they inveigh against our constitution, and hold up its authors to the execration of their hear- era. The writer calls on the government to lay aside its temporizing policy and keep stern watch on the movements of those men who are already so deeply stained with the blood of their fellow countrymen. He concluded by warning Don Carlos against evil advisors and bids him re member "HI Erro De Las Campands, the spot where Maximilian was shot. This vigorous and severely denunciatory article has excited much comment and the reply of the clerical press is looked for with great interest. The Monitor also ha advices from the state of daxaca. in timating that local members of the church party are conspiring against the government, and rerro-Cavulls a- news paper published at Oaxaca, referring to the same subject, urges the government to take stern aggressive measures, IHE PARIS FIRE.

"PARNELLI8M AMD CRIME." The London Times Again Arraigns the Agitators. London, June 7. The Times this morning publighes another installment of 'TarnelliHin and crime" articles. Oppo posite the lader page it publishes a Lac simile of the tenth page of the Irish World of New York of February 16. 1884, and also a portion of Patrick Ford's ad dress published in the same issue. The publications are accompanied by an ex- filanatory article describing the various unds mentioned and the fate of the men connected therewith. In an editorial on the subject the times says : The whole conspiracy, whether carried on by mealy mouthed gentlemen who sat at Londomdinner tables, or by those who organize arson and murder, is one and indivisible. It is paid out of the same purse, worked by the same men, directed to the same ends, and inspired by one universal hatred of England and determination to bring about, if possible, a complete separation between England and Ireland. Whether the money goes to support Gladatonians at Parliament or to equip desperadoes for the committal of outrages in English towns is a mere matter of tactics. ' Whenever we find constitutional agitators with the mask laid aside, as in the case of Davitt and Buduck, we find that their language, sentiments and aims are identical, with those of the ruffians by whose support they live and whom they pretend, in Parlia ment, to be ignorant of. COTTON COOKS TRA D K. The Outlook not Terr Bright Maanfno turers Di scon raged? Manchrstrr, England, June 8. The Guardian's commercial article says the effect of the latest rise in cotton, in Liver pool, will undoubtedly be to cause a fur ther curtailment in the consumption of cotton. The opinion is held that a fur ther advance in the price of cotton will be absolutely beneficial, as it will hasten the closing of mills -and favor the adop tion of the short-time movement. There is no sign of improvement in business even, in current demand, at low prices. A moderate business haa been done in export of yarn, but sales have not reached the full amount. The home business has been poor; cloth ia reported quiet; manufacturers are dis contented with current prices, but quo tations are largely beyond the reach of buyers.
