Foreign.

It is reported that China has sent a large force to the Pamir district, and that Russia is awaiting fuller news before taking steps in the matter. The tactics of the Blame's party are irritating General Harrison's supporters, who desire to force the use of the ballot box. Secret parades of the rival parties have caused some collision. Harrison's party, destroyed a number of banners carried by Blame's men. The banners-were inscribed with the name of Ireland. On the other hand the Blainites tore to pieces the banner the other party bore, bearing the portrait of Harrison. Harrison, Blame, Alger, and McKinley are the only gentlemen who are likely to be nominated for the Presidency, but Cleveland continues to enlist support. It is reported that Prince Ferdinand is betrothed to Letitia, Duchess of Aosta, the young widow of Prince Amadeus ex-King of Spain. Only one ballot has been taken in the election for President. General Harrison obtained 538 votes, Mr J. G. Blame and Major McKinley each 182, Mr Reed, 4, and Mr Lincoln 1. An indescriable scene of wild excitement greeted the result. The English press is elated at Mr Blame's rout and losing his so-called master move in resigning. The result of the ballot has also been welcomed in the Dominion of Cftimda.
