It comprises thirty-three documents, rancint! in date from October 31, 1883, to September 1G, 1884, and containing records of Germany h efforts to ob tain a settlement of tho claims of German subjects to tho lands of Fiji. The documents possess special inter est, because it was England's resist ance to these claims which induced Germany to adopt her present coloni al policy. "When England annexed the Fiji islaods, all debts contracted by the islands prior to lb74, wore declared to be irrecoverable, and title deeds to lands were referred to a special commission. The latter pro ceeded Tory slowly, and contested several proofs of German ownership, thereby causing Germany to fre quently remonstrate. In April, 18S3, Germany proposed that a mixed com mission be appointed to inquire into the disputed claims. Earl Granville, British foreign secretary, replied that tho proposal could not be accepted by tbe British office. In October Germany asked to be informed as to tho views of the English cabinet, not those of tho colonial office, and reit erated her demand for a mixed com mission. In January, 18S1, Earl Granville replied refusing consent to the appointment of a mixed commis sion, composed of English and Ger man colonial officials. London. Jan. 19. The excitement caused yesterday by the unusual oc curronoe of a council at the war office on Sunday was greatly increased to day by tho report that the govern ment decided to resist any attempt on the part of Turkey to occupy any part of Egypt or land troops in that country. There is considerable bus tle and excitement at the war office to day, and orders have been sent to Chatham, Portsmouth and Woolwich which caused much activity at those great naval stations. Another bat tallion of troops at Malta have been ordered to embark at once on tho steamship Poonah for Alexandria. Other troops are under orders to bo ! in readiness to move at a moment's I notice. Indications all point to stir-! ring events in Egypt There is no doubt that the ministry are determin ed not to allow Turkey to interfere in Egyptian affairs by placing armed force in any part of Egypt. London, Jan. 19. Hassan Fehmi Pacha, Turkish minister of justiee, in England on a special mission con cerning Egypt, drove in state to the foreign office to-day. Musuras Pa cha, Turkish ambassador, introduced Fehmi to Granville, British foreign minister. A long conference ensued. After the conference the court minis ter gave a long explanation to Gran ville of Germany's views on the. Egyptian question. London, Jan. 19. A Cairo dispatch says: It is understood here that the committee of inquiry which the pow ers propose to have investigate the financial condition of Egypt, shall comprise the present members of the Caisse de la Dette Publique, with the addition of German and JRussian del egates, and consuls of the great pow ers. It is believed here that this scheme willnot be acceptable to En gland. Bebmn, Jan. 19.

Suit was commenced in the United States circuit court yesterday by Law rence Harrison and Lawrence Baker, for themselves and others, against the Oregon and California Railroad Company, the Farmers' Loan and Trust Company and tho Oregon and Transcontinental Company. The complain tan ts, who aro citizens of Great Britain, for themselves and for all holders of unpaid and duo coupons on the first mortgage bonds of the Oregon and California, bring this suit against the company, a corpora tion which is a citizen of Ore gon, the Farmers' Loan and Trust Company, a citizen of New York, and the Oregon and Transcontinental Company, a citizen of Oregon, and complain on about twenty pages of legal cap, the substance of the com plaint being that they are bondhold ers of the O. & C R. R. Co., and that the company has not paid the six months' interest on the aforesaid bonds which fell 'due this month. That they are of the opinion that the proceeds of the road are not properly applied, the running expenses being, as they think, too large, and they therefore ask that a receiver be ap pointed to operate the road. Tho court appointed B. Koehler and A. G. Cunningham receivers to take charge of and operate tho road. They are required to report to the oourt once a month, the receipts and expen ditures of the road, and the amount in hand, which they aro required to depositin the First National bank. They are required to give bonds in the sum of $75,000. The bonded indebt edness of the road amounts to $9,020, 000. The monthly income is about $100,000, md the operating expenses about $70,000.

THE SPANISH TREATY. New Yokk, Jan. 19. -A special com mittee of the chamber or commerce reports after investigation among till members of the chamber, it finds the resolution adverse to the Spanish treaty, passed at the meeting of Jan uary Sth, satisfactory to the large majority of the representatives or all branches of trade and manufacture who have been called upon for an opinion. The committee adds: Mex ico and San Domingo are sister re publics. The latter especially is in sympathy with our people anil insti tutions, and from her position might be of much value in giving us a coal ing station in casd of war. Treaties with theso countries take but little from our revenue, open up avenues of trade at reasonable cost, and deserve favorable consideration. On the other hand Cuba nnd Porto Rice are dependencies of Spain, and under Spanish rale of the most arbitrary and oppressive character. She has taxed them until they arc bankrupt, and now sho seeks, at our expense, to make them further able to swell her revenue. In helping a European power to continue its oppressive sys tem of government over the only islands in American waters that re main under its control, are wo going to permanently extend American in fluence? Spain has uniformly treated treated American interests arbitrari ly and unjustly. American ships have been seized and confiscated without cause. A constant series of fines have been imposed upon oul vessels and strange to gay advocates of this treaty advanco as one of their argu ments that outrages of this kind shall cease, as a matter of favor, when we long since should have demanded it, as a matter of right. The committee gives a number of reasons why tho treaty should not be ratified, saying that this is not a re ciprocity treaty; that it would not benefit our manufacturers to any great extent; it would destroy our sugar producing interests, damage our important American tobacco and cigar interests, and throw thou sands of American laborers out of employment, at a time when we cau least afford to add to the army of un employed. The report concludes thus: 'The revenue for a single year pro posed to bo relinquished by us would build a creditable navy, or fortify our harbors, or build a postnl telegraph, or enlarce our canals thus furnish ing American laborers with employ-i ment; or we might relieve our citizens from taxation to that extent; or for one-tenth of this sum we could estab lish American steam lines to all South and Central American ports, which would do more to build up our com merce than ten such one-sided recii rocity treaties." The report has been" sent to "United Stales sena tors. San Francisco. Jan. 19. The Chronicle's "Washington special says the Sunday Herald, which is re garded as the organ of the army and navy, comes out violently against the bill placing General Grant on the re tired list It says if the count ry owes him any aid at all it should be given him as "a pension, but not in the way he asks for it It says that to place him on the retired list would bo a perpetual menace to Jhe peace and liberty of the country, and make him the center of all lauds of ambitions scheming. Washington, Jan. 19.- Lieutenant Fred. Schwatka, of Oregon, who re signed his position in the army some time ago, has asked pormissiou to withdraw his resignation. It is be lieved thnt the war department will not allow him to withdraw his resig nation, because at the time he sent it in he asked for one year's leave of ab sence, with pay, and the request was granted. A Costly Piece of Head-Gear. The crown of England has twenty diamonds around its chief circle, about $150,000, aud ever so many other diamonds and precious stones, the whole costing about $500,000 of our money.
