The Chamber has not the ele ment of a working majority. Hono Kong, April 1, The position of tbe French at Chu ia ex ceedingly precarious. Gen. Negrier's wound lias assumed a dangerous character.

One, Fisher, another of Kiel's captives, lost the contents o( hi* store at Pstoche Crossing. He says that Kiel is being joined bv Indians, who are all flocking to him. A family named Lovell, from Duck Lake, arrived at (ju Ap pelle today, having broken through the rebel line ai.d made a rosd across the prairie.

The greatest enthus iasm prevailed among the men. THR KI'HNO.KNGIJNII TKOUBLR. RmsisV Answer to Rnglnnd’s Proposal— The Prospect ol WnrGrcnlly Increased —What the Mussina Papers May. London, April 1. The Pall Mall Gazette this afternoun says that Russia's answer tu England's proposals on the Afghan question amounts, to the cor dial acceptance ol the proposals made by Earl Granville. The point still to be discussed is the Itus sian suggestion that it would be mure practi cal if the scene of the survey overlapped the roughly defined scene of the debated land, and which may, the Gazette says, still lead to a difficulty. The temporary relief caused by the pacific talk by the Marquis of liartington, last even ing, is almost entirely dissipated bv a state ment that Russia concedes no single vital point at issue. War preparations are going ahead as briskly as ever, and there is abso lutely no reason to count on a peaceffll solu tion. St. Pkterhhcro, April I. The morning papers have adopted a very pacific tone. The Svet warns the English government not to count too much on the friendship ot the Ameer and Asiatics, whom it says Kussia understands better than England. IN THE SOUDAN. Osman Dignn Completely Demoralized and in full Retreat—An Advance ol English forces to be Made at Once. Suakim, April 1. All accounts indicate that Osman Digna is completely demoralized, and has retired to Erkowit. A flag of truee is hoisted over i Hasheen to cover his retreat. Many tribes are deserting him. Work on the Berber Itailway has been resumed. A detachment of cavalry was sent out this i morning to reconnoiter in the neighborhood of Tainai. They found Tamai occupied by a large force ot the enemy. The general ad vance of the British forces will begin tumor row morning at davbreag. The troops will stop st the zereba tomorrow evening, and march at Tamai Friday morning. The troops at Gen. McNeil’s zereba will march oat at daybreak to construct a zereba three miles nearer Tamai. They will be sup ported by detachments of cavaliy. The troops at Gen. Graham's camp will then advance to the first zereba, and the whole British force will stuck Tamai Saturday. There appears to be about 12.000 Arabs between Hasheen and Tamai. EXASPERATED WOMEN. The Tarkish Minister of finance Beset by Two Thoaaaad Angry Wives. ConsTAnTizofLz, April 1. Government is in urears to tbe employees for several months' pay, and today the wives of the soldiers attempted to secure attention to their husbands' demands by appearing at an early hour on the street. These collected to the number of about two thousand or more at a point near the building occupied by tbe cabinet office. |At an appointed boar they marched in a body to tbe office of tbe minis ter of finance. Pushing past tbe guards they eniered tbe office, and confronting tbe minis ter, demanded the pay due their hnsbaodt. Policemen were called in and tried to ex pel them, but tbe women turned oo them and forced them to retire. The finance rnin iau r made a piausable excuse for delay in paying the men.

M. yet ter day for the parpote of considering the question of reprieviag the Italian murderers 8 an tore and Capooe, who were to have been executed next Friday. At the commencement, several points of law were raised by members of the Council, as to the right of the Executive to reprieve. The following law was cited J£?k14, lh* E The Governor, with the advice and consent of the Council, mmv r«- aJ "°a execution of a sent*nee of watto, (of stated periods, po long ss he mir rtsei it aeeestary to afford him an opportunity of esercUtog r’ffbt of pardon and of Investigating and eoatia eying the facts 01 the case for that purpose. See, 2. chap, lis of the K. S.: On s4i pe-ltioos to I the Ooyemor for pardon or cowmatatlcn of senteooe. written notice thereof shall be given to the County Attorney tor the oounty where the ease was tried, i and a two week’s notice In some newspaper publish, ed la said county. bee. 11. article Constitution: He shall have the Power with the ad sloe and consent of the Council, “ffraB’- reprieves and with such la.true tieaa and limitations aa stay be deemed prop. r. rub 10teffalatlaaa as may be nude by law, re **^f* *h« manner of Applying lor pardosi The question was raised under the sec tion in chip. 135. a# to the right of the Gov ernor to reprieve, for the one reason that the day of execution fell on Good Friday, where as the section nates that the right of respite •hall be exercised with a pardon in view. The Council being unable tu decides Judge Danforth waa summoned from Gardiner. On his arrival, after the matter had been dnly sub mitted to him, he gave it as hia opinion that the right of reprieve waa in no wiae limited by the law. The aecund and third aections of the Revised Statutes and Constitution, be held, could hardly be construed as referring to the right of repreive. Two letters from Bishop James A. Mealy of Portland to Governor Kobie, requesting that the day of execution he postponed, as it was to occur on Good Friday, were read. I The Bishop also staled that the Italian l’riest j of Boston who was to minister to the suffer ers on the day ef the execution, would 1 he unable to be present on Friday, a» his du ties required his presence at home. A letter from Mon. A. G I.throke of Foxcrott, was H^*o read, in which that gentleman plead ear ne.tly that Santore might be pardoned, or ilia sentence commuted to imprison i ment, as he believed that the man j 'VAA not guilty of murder. The Gover nor stated that Geo. K. B. Jackson, Ksq of Portland, had requested him to postpone the (execution. The case where Gov. Nelson Ilingley respited Wagner was referred to. The Governor and Council after considering the case and hearing the evidence, went into executive session. The question of repriev ing one week was first voted on the council stood three in favor to three opposed, j Finally a reprieve of two weeks was granted, j thus bringing the day of execution on the 17th inst. While one reason given for allowing the reprieve is that the day set would fall on j Good Friday, another is that the Italian priest j by conversing with the condemned men may draw from them confessions which will recon cile certain discrepancies in the sto 1 ries of the two men, regarding the commission f the crime. The notice of the reprieve will be forward ed this morning by special messenger. Coun cillor Kernald having been selected for that purpose. Col. A. W. Bradbury appeared as counsel for the murderers, and in the course of his remarks said that in his opinion Ca pone, the younger man, was innocent of the i crime of murder. t'hurrti Notices.

The new oleomargarine law goes into effect today and on and after this date whoever in this State 'manufactures, sells, exposes for sale, or lias in his possession with intent to I sell" butter or cheese not made wholly from milk, is liable to a tine of 100 for the first oflence and $200 for each subsequent offence. As a prohibitory statute this rival the liquor law in severity, but since the appetite for hog butter is more restrainable than that for stim. ulenta, there is no reason why the law may not prohibit effectually. There is a great demand for the product among a certain class of population and they have been laying in oleo by the ton. Some of them have bought enough to last six months. A local dealer said yesterday noon “I am selling 1000 pounds a day. A woman just came in and bought 20 tubs. The law will be evaded without doubt. The forbidden oleo will he smuggled into the State from Boston #and sold as genuine butter.” An entertainment and supner was given at Jewett school house, on Friday evening of last week, under the management of the ladies of the neighborhood. The entertain ment consisted of singing, dialogues, tab leaux. etc., and ended with ao oyster supper.

Since that time sociables have been held every two weeks; and frequent suppers and entertainments hare been given, all of which have been very successful. This being a branch of the M.
