HOW SlISIA'S OCCPPATIO!* OF SAKl'CHAK 18
REGARDED IK ITOtAHD.
London, April 2B.-It Is xtated that the governmeut
has received an Important nipinorandum
from ix>rd DulTerln. the viceroy of India.
upon the views of the Indian government aim
upon the action Of Russia since the beginning
ot the existing controversy over the definitive
boundary of Russia and Afghanistan.
The Standard, in an editorial referring to the
occupation of Meruchak by the Russians sa\ s: |
"There can be no question of Afghan pn>voca?
tton In this instance. The ocoupatlou of Meruchak
stands out broadly and undlsrulsedlv as a
clear Invasion of the territory of At^bunistau
without even the pretense of military necessity.
"Assuming that the news ot the occu|*atlon
of Meruchak Is correct, then? Is little room tor
doubt that It can be considered nothing else
than a deliberate act of agression.
And this act of aggression has
the appearance of being spec allv
chosen In order that there may be no pt>sslbillty
or further mistake. It 1? a deliberate breach
of a solemn covenant?a flagrant violation of
Russia's promises and assurances."
THE AFGHANS IMHUSANT.
A dlpatch from Tirput states that Gen. K<v
maroff having written an open letter to the Afghans
in which he expressed surprise at their
couduct In forcing him to wa#e a battle against
them the Afghani have become Indignant at
what they term the Russiau oommandcr's impudence,
and are becoming more cordial towards
to British.

A CARBIAGE FACTORY AND GORDON'S) OPERA
Hol'SE DESTROYED.
Raiiway, N. J., April 29.?J. L. Freeman's
carriage factory was d?*>tr?.?yed by Arc last night,
with a large portiouof its contents. The tire
broke out at about 12 o'el<x*k in tlie piiir.t shop.
A large number of carriages, conche* mid other
vehicles on the lower floor were gut <>ui in saiety.
The loss Is al?out partially insured.
Gordon's opera house, built ten years ag>i at an
expense or,$50,tH>0, next took tire, and now
lies a mass oi ruins; insurance, S10,?hmi. The
people of the city are much grieve 1 over the
loss of thi? play house. At the time of the flre a
high wind was blowing, and had it not beeu
that it rained during the day and saturated
the roofs of the buildings In the immediate
neighliorhood. the flre would doubtless have
spread and destroyed a lurge portion of the city.
One side of the large brick wall adjoining the
residence of Mr. Freeman fell on the root of that
gentleman's house, crashing through to the
second floor. The occupants fortunately had
moved out before this occurred. A dispatch
was sent to Elizabeth port, a dlstanoeof live |
miles, for aid, which was resj?ondcd to by
steamer Rolla, No. 2, but the flre l<eing under
control on its arrival, its services were not
brought Into requisition. About 40 hands are
throwu out of employment by the destruction
of the factory.

Ctrr Ha Playhatb With a K*tra.?Pat
Hanion and Mike MoNulty, two boys, had a
dispute over their games yesterday afternoon, in
South Washington, and a tnssel ensued, during
which the latter eat the former in the bead with
a knife. In the Police Court this morning each
charged the other with Msauit, and the cases
wers continued.
Jttdos Swell's advice to the Policemek.
In the Police Court, this morning, James E.
Donnelly, the saloon-keeper at the corner of
14th and I streets, was chained with keeplty
an unlicensed bar, aad a line ot f 105 imposed,
from which he appealed. The Judge mid be
thought it would oe a good thing fer the police
force to adopt the New YorkpraSice of instructing
the officer* la the ordinances, and teach
them bow to make cases and what to do after
the evidence is obtained. The court suggested
that the officers meet and study the ordinances,
aslt was B*s8?fisl that they should be familiar
with them. "Se difference between the two
cities," said Mr. Padgett, "is that in New York
they have one code, and in this city there are
half a doaen." "All the more reason why they
ihrmrt study them," responded the Judge.

In the Court In General Term, this morning,
boiore Chief Justice Cartter and Judge Jamea,
the case of the United states against Mickey
Walsh and Fred Joseph was argued by Mr. T?cgart
for the government and Mr. C. 8. Moore
and E. P. Fhilps for the defendanta. Walsh and
J'?seph were indicted and convicted with John
Reiser of housebreaking in the night, and -wenteueed
by the Crliniual Court to five yeara each
In the penitentiary. The indictment was for
breaking and enterine Wlxom's store, and the
proof was that entrant was over tile door the
transom being open, and the defendant* make
the point that they were not legallv convicted
for there was no breaking: and a!though the
new housebreaking act makes It an offenae to
enter a house in the night with intent to rob
yet the indictment setting out that tbey did
"break and enter," it was necesKa-y to prove
the breaking before they cm Id be convicted.

to the western custom of hanging for
theft, End its possibility of it*; coming uustwnrd
owing to the technicalities of the law, and said
he never wanted to any such state of ailalra
here Mr. Moore replied that he did not apprehend
such danger here, and he a*as sure the
court would not permit a man to suffer when
he was not tried in exact accordance with Um
requirements of the law.
