Frine Bismarck and that of Emperor William, and at the timt time express ermpathy and respect for the latter personally. Tne Novoe Vermyaaay: "As for Prince Bismarck, there is no chance of a sincere return on his part to a friendly feeline towards Russia. His long audience with tbe Czar in Berlin was probably iua to a desire to further his endeavors to draw Russia back to the policy of 1870."

MATTERS AT THE CAPITAL

The Fisheries Commision Hold a Meeting and Outline a Programme. Their Work Will Be Kpt Secret Until the Conclusion of the Negotiations Emperor William Sends a Telegram of Thanks. TQE FISHERIES COMMISSION. A Preliminary Meeting Yesterday How the Negotiations Will He Conducted. Washington, Not. 2L Just before noon, today, Mr. Chamberlain, Sir Charles Tupper and Minister West called at the Department of State and were shown into the diplomatic receptionroom, which has been set apart for the nee of the Fishery Commission. They were soon joined by Secretary Bayard and Messrs. Pntnam and Angell. An informal conference then took place, which lasted less than an hour. No attempt was made to enter upon a discussion of the fisheries controversy, this meeting being held only for the purpose of arranging a line of procedure to be followed in the regular meetings of the negotiators. It was resolved that the first of these meetings shall be held to-morrow at 2 o'clock. Stenographers will not be employed, but an outline record of tbe proceedings will be kept by secretaries, and at the end of every session all of the members of the conference will agree npon and sign a formal statement of theresult of tbe day's work. Third Assistant Secretary Moore and Mr. Bergne have been chosen as the official secretaries of the conference. The frequency of the sessions cannot, as yet. be foretold, as it will depend entirely npon the number of obstacles that may arise in tbe course of tbe negotiations. It is probable that the negotiators will not attempt to prescribe regular days for meeting, bnt will fix tbe day of the next meeting at the conclusion of each session. Perhaps the most important conclusion reached to-day was a resolution, unanimously adopted, to keep the proceedings of the negotiators secret, at least until the conclusion of their work. The statement is authorized by Secretary Bayard that any article that may apnear purporting to tell what has been done at any meetiog of the negotiators will be entirely unauthorized, and must be the purest speculation. In reply to an inquiry as to whether tbe representatives of the United States bad agreed npon a line of policy for their guidance in the negotiations, Secretary Bayard said that the public had been fully informed as to the position of tbe government in the matter. The snbiect. he said, is two years old, as far as this administration is concerned, and over a hundred years old as regards the people of the United States. The English contention had also been known through the official publications, so there is nothing before the negotiators of which the public is not informed. TVOMAJi'S DEFT FINGERS. Wonderful Skill in Putting Together Fragments of Mnlilatetl Currency. Washington Special. Among the curiosities of the Treasury Department not the least are the wonderfully skilled ladies who pat together the fragments of badly mutilated or bnrned legal-tender or national bank currency sent in for redemption. This work is not done by the redemption division of the Treasury, as has been stated, but by the special committee of these ladies, each of whom represents one of the bureaus having custody of tbe government's funds and accounts pertaining thereto, viz.: tbe secretaries, the treasurers and tbe registers. In cases where national notes are involved, a representative of the bureau of the Comptroller of the Currency is added to tbe committee. Some amazing stories are told of their skillful work. One is of the case of a country merchant living near Sedalia, Mo., who placed $1,200 in bills in an old stone jar on a shelf in his store. Some time afterwards, having occasion to use the money, he found instead an unrecognizable mass of fragments left by mice. He gathered a cigar box full of the pieces, which were sent by express to Washington, and the patient and nimble-fingered women of tbe Treasury put the pieces together, so that of the missing money it was easy to identify $1,100, which amount the department transmitted to the granger. Another story is told by a former Cabinet officer, and is to the effect that in a fire a bank had the misfortune to have a package of bills amounting to $10,000 charred in such a manner as to resemble a pquare piece of charcoal. Two experts from the Treasury were assigned to the task of examining the black and brittle mass, and by the skillful use of tbin-bladed knives tbey separated tbe package and gummed the particles on tissue paper in such a way as to account for nearly every dollar. Thisnay seem strange to those who do not know that in such cases the mineral properties of the inks used in printing the government sureties render it possible for experienced eyes to distinguish not only the denominations, bet even the numbers on charred bills, bonds, etc. MINOR MATTERS. Emperor William Returns Thanks for a Mes sage of Condolence. Washington, Nov. 21. A few days ago Sec retary Bayard forwarded to Minister Pendleton an expression of the cordial sympathy of Presi dent Cleveland and the people of this country in the serious illness of the German Crown Prince. To-day the Secretary received, through the Ger man legation here, the following reply to his dis patch: "His Majesty is deeply moved bv the fervent and touching words in which the friendly senti ments and good wishes for tbe imperial bouse of Germany are exDressed. In pursuance of in structions transmitted to me by tbe Chancellor of the empire, in obedience to the command of his Imperial Majesty, I have the honor, Mr. Secretary, to convey to you the expression of his Majesty's heartfelt gratitude for the sympathy felt by the Jb'resiaent ana people ot tbe United States of America with our royal house and the whole country in the deep grief which rests upon both. His Majesty was much gratified to be informed of the sentiments entertained by the great nation with which we are so closely allied." Congress and the Taxes. Washington, Not. 21. That thera is to ba a definite plan of tariff reform subm itted to Congress at its coming session, there can be no doubt. The plan will be recommended in the President's message and outlined in the report of the Secretary of the Treasury, and will have had the previous approval of Mr. Carlisle and other Democratic leaders. It involves a reduc tion both in the in ternal revenue and in customs duties. The new committee on ways and means, will be constituted so that the administration policy will at least be submitted to the House in an anthoritative form for considera tion. It is not expected, however, that this will be done in a hurry. Mr. Carlisle has already said that he expects that the session will continue until August. His own position as to tbe reduction of tbe surplus, and of taxation, is well understood, and nas not materially changed since tbe last Congress. He thinks that there shoud be a rednction of at least $ 0.000.000 in the rev enues. He wonld favor the abolition of the tax on manufactured tobacco, not including cigars and cigarettes. He is not disposed to make any further redactions of the tobacco tax, and will oppose any reduction whatever of the tax on whisky. He is opposed to tbe abolition of the dntv on sugar; but as to the rest of the tariff, will favor important changes. He btlieves that lumber, salt and coal should on the free list. He would favor, also, a reduction of the duties on wooL The Coming Christian Conference. New York, Nov. 2L In response to a call from the Evangelical Alliance, a number of clergymen assembled this afternoon in Associa tion Hall to discuss the work to be done by the general Christian conference, to be held in Washington Dec. 7 and 9 next. The object of the conference is to arrange a plan whereby all, Protestant ministers may help the propagation of the gospel among wnrkingmen. V illiam E. Dodge, Rev. Dr. Strong and other prominent divines addressed the assemblage. The chairman was empowered to appoint the New York delegation to the conference. Among those who will sneak or read papers at tbe con ference will be William E. Dodge. Bishop An derson. f Washington; Kev. Dr. Dnrehenter. of Boston: Bishop Cnxe, of Buffalo: Bishop Har ris, of Michigan; Dr. McCosb. of Princeton, and Kev. Dr. Storrs, of Brooklyn. Government Finances. Washington, Not. 2L The government re ceipts during the present month amount to $20,CS3.346 and the expenditures to $25,340,940, ihowing a deficiency of $4,664,590. The ex penditures inelude the payment of $18,283,747 on account of pensions. The net gold in the trees- '

nry to-day is $207,766,020, an increase of nearly $3,000,000 since the 1st inst. and an increase of nearly $20,000,000 since July 1 last. -The cir

culation of standard silver dollars has iucreaed by over $1,000,000 since the 1st ipst, and by nearly $8,000,000 since July L General Notes. Special to the XndlanaDoUs Journal. Washington, Not. 21.

Shepperd, ot Arcanum, O.. were to-day admitted to prac tice before the Interior Department. Representative Matson is being talked of for the chairmanship of the House committee on naval affairs, occupied in tbe last Congress by General Herbert, of Alabama, who did not at tain a Tery high degree of success. Colonel MaUon is tired of the invalid pensions commit tee, at the head of which he has been for many years. Secretary Whitney has returned to Washing ton in improved health. He was at the Navy Department a short time to-day, and afterward called on the President. He will not take an active part in the management of the Navy De partment for some days. THE BLAZING FORESTS. Farther Reports of Destruction In the East ern Counties of Arkansas. Memphis, Not. 21. The forest fires continue to rage in this section, and the damage sus tained is becoming serious. Several gin-houses in Crittenden county, Arkansas, have been bnrned; also, in ihe counties of Mississippi, which border the river. It is impossible to gather definite details of the loss. It is so widespread in its nat ure that an estimate cannot be given. Steam ers cannot run at night, owing to the dense smoke which prevails from Vicksburg, Miss., to a point 150 miies above Memphis, a total dis tance of 650 miles. Fires are burning everywhere within this territory, and there is no im mediate prospect of rain. Travel by rail is also obstructed from these causes. Several trestles on the Kansas City road have been destroved. and communication with St. Louis is now made via Forest City. Ark. NeTer be fore in the history of tbe country has there been snch widespread conflagration, and tbe loss to farmers will be very heavy. The wind storm which prevailed Satur day and Saturday night must have been de structive to many dwellings and out-honses of planters, especiallv in the counties to the west of Memphis, in Arkansas, bnt owir.g to the se cluded country anu the lack of telegraphic facili ties it will be several days before the true condi tion of affairs is learned. The same reports come from every quarter of fires and the loss that is being snstamed. Tbe only escape that is prom ised will come from rain, and in nearly all the chnrches prayers were offered yesterday that showers might fall and the destruction cease. The Fires in Indiana. Seymour, Not. 21t The forests in the west ern part of Jackson county took fire again on Friday, and the fire is still raging with fearful effect. The people are powerless to do anything to check the destructive element, on account of continuous high winds and no water. The de struction of timber and fencing is already very great. Leopold, Perry County, Not. 21. The fires in the woods in this Ticinity are sweeping every thing before them. Everything is as dry as tinder, and the flames often rise to a height of fifteen feet, and sweep over the highways as rapidly as over narrow paths in woods. Farm ers have ceased to make any efforts beyond attempting to save buildings and fences, and to save fences they must remove them into the fields. Noted Thief Killed. Cleveland. O., Not. 21. At an early hour this morning two policemen in the southern part of the c:ty discovered three suspicions characters and gave chase. Tbe strangers, while running. shot at the policemen, who returned the fire. One of the trio received a bullet in the baok. and died at day-break. This afternoon he was recognized as Tom Scott, an all-around crook. known in all large cities, who came to this coun try from England during tbe war of tbe rebel lion. It is said that he was recently discharged from Sing Sing, where he served under one of bis many aliases. In his pocket a key .was found that unlocked tbe door of a bank near by. It is thought thai he and his companions had intended to rob tbe bank. Steamship News. Havre, Not. 2L Arrived: La Normandie, from New York. Glasgow, Not. 21.

Samuel Wilson and Clara Bierbier, of this city, were married at Canton, O-, the former being on his deathbed, ill with typhoid fever. A few days later Wilson died, leaving a policy for $2,000 insurance in the Ancient Order of United Workmen, issued by a lodge at Rock ford, 111. This policy was payable to the two children of Wilson oy a former wife, who is dead, but was taken possession of by the deathbed .rife. In the correspondence over the insurance policy it was de veloped that Wilson had a third wife still living at Kockford. The case has created much excitement at Canton. Bandits Killed and Captnred. Galveston, Not. 21. A dispatch from Austin to the News says: Capte.in Schmidt, of the State Rangers, whose company has been scouring the Rio Grande frontier for tbe pust two months, writes to Governor Ross to-day that tbey have killed and captured thirteen of the bandits infesting the frontier. Included among the killed is the noted bandit chief, Luciano Moralez, who was leader of the party that realized for the ransom of Senor Juan Garcia, Barrea, $1,500. Moralez was also the author of several daring stage robberies. Jury-Briber Sentenced. San Francisco, Nov. 21. Frank T. Northey, who was recently convicted on a charge of attempting to bribe a jury, was sentenced to-day to nine years' imprisonment at St. Quentin. Northey was indicted on the same charge as Robert F.

The juries in the case of Morrow and McCord disagreed, and their re-trial is set for Monday next. Dynamite Bomb Found. New York. Not. 21. What appears to be a genuine Anarchist bomb was found on Twentyeighth street, near Fifth avenue, to-night. The bomb consisted of a piece of gaspipe about six inches long, plugged at both ends. A fuse projected from one end, and interwoven with it was a friction match so arranged as to explode at the slightest jar. The infernal machine was inclosed in a email pasteboard box. It will be sent to a chemist for examination to-morrow. More Persecution of Democrats. Albany, N. Y., Not. 21. Warrants were today issued for the arrest of John B. Sullivan and Arthur L. Main, Democratic inspectors in the Waterrliet district, for violating the State election law in signing a fraudulent return of tbe votes cast for Senator.

P. Graves, Yale. '91, of Andover. Mass., who was Yale's half-back in Saturday's foot-ball game with Princeton, and who scored the first touch-down in tbat game, has received a letter from nis father positively forbidding him to play against Harvard on Thanksgiving day. How to Select a Wife Good health, good morals, good sense and good temper are tbe four essentials for a good wife. These are the indispensable. After them come the minor advantages of good looks, accomplishments, family position, etc. With the first four married life will be comfortable and happy. Lacking either, it will be in more or less degree a failure. Upon good health depends largely good temper and good looks, and to some extent good sense, also, as tbe best mind must bo affected more or less by the weaknesses and whims attendant on frail health.

Additional Details of the Burning of Showman Iiarnuui'i Winter Quarters. New Haven, Not. 2L The animals' quarters of Barn urn's circus, at Bridgeport, were burned! to the ground last night One of the watchmen, George N. Morris, was making bis rounds about 10 o'clock when he discovered flames in one eorner of the building, where tbe horses are kept He rnshed around the building to alarm other employes, when he was knocked senseless by some one with a club. He lay on the ground unconscious for twenty minutes, and when he revived half of tbe building and some of the other buildings were in flames. He awakened the sleepers in the building, and some one rushed to an alarm-box half a mile away and palled it, neglecting to sound the alarm from a box located at the entrance to the grounds. Tbis caused a delay of half an hour in the arrival of the fire department When it did come it conld do nothing beyond saving the adjacent buildings from being destroyed. In the meantime twenty-eight elephants were turned loose. The white elephants, Sampson and Alice, were destroyed. The other elephants rushed about the city and one fell on a man, breaking three of his riba and one leg. The old lion, which is often seen on tho top of the chariot in the street processions, was hauled ont of tbe fiames by his keeper, Wm. Bulkely. As soon as he was out of the building the crowd attempted to kill him by beating his head with clubs and firing shots into him with a revolver. He was secured and placed into a pen, but broke out. and, scaling a ten foot fence, took refuge in a barn, where be killed a sow. He was shot while making a breakfast of fresh meat Eight men, who were sleeping in the building, barely escaped with their lives, and one who was sick was dragged off his bed and out into the open air. At 12 o'clock most of tbe elephants had been corralled. The rhinoceros was got out of the building, but was burned and cut. both by getting out of tbe cage and by the crowd, who seemed possessed to kill all the animals which came out of the building. Only the cat animals were burned. The monkeys and others were in other bnildings. Many of the idols which are exhibited with the show were bnrned. Tbe cries of the burning animals were heartrending. Through the flames conld be seen the tigers, leopards and other cat animals dashing frantically about t'eir cages, and finally succumbing to the smoae and flame. Tbe elephants ru6bed madly about tbe streets, lashing their bnrned and torn sides with their trunks, and scattering the crowds in all directions. It is reported that several men were picked up and thrown over fences and more or less injured. The birds were all in New York city, at Central Park. In the paint shop were many of the handsome chariots undergoing repairs. These were wheeled out as fast as possible, but not witbont injury. At 12 o'clock what had two hours before been the home of the wonders of the ear th lay a heap of smoldering rums, from which ascended the odor of burning flesh. The iron cages, twisted in all ways and still incandescent, stood out prominently among the ruiua against tbe dark back-ground of the night beyond. Among the animals destroyed were four elephants, five lions, seven leopards, six panthers, four kangaroos, six horses, and a large number of smaller beasts. Among the elephants burned were Alice, Sampson and the sacred white elephants. One of the large elephants escaped, and this morning was found drowned in the sound, near tbe light-house, where it had gone in its fright. Aside from this the only animals that escaped beyond the grounds was a large lion, which wandered into Christopher Sickards's barnyard, where it attacked a cow and calf, making an early breakfast ot the latter. Mrs. Sickards undertook to drive the boast away, not knowing or reaiizidg the nature of the animal until warned by a neighbor, when she made a hasty retreat The animal was shot soon after by one of tbe circus employes. Otto Mabbie, an elephant trainer, by his heroic efforts saved eighteen elephants. Mr. Bailey said tbis morning that $100,000 would probably cover tbe loss. Tbe lost animals and all the paraphernalia destroyed will be replaced as soon as possible, and last night's fire will not interfere with next season's show. The insurance, placed through Staples & Co., on the building and property burned, is as follows: Building. $7,135; animals, $35,000. Of the latter amount, $4,500 was on the elephants burned and $2,250 on the hippopotamus. The building will be rebuilt as soon as possible. Besides the above property destroyed were two of the largest chariots, known as the.tNeptune and Green Tableau car. The origin of the fire is still a mystery, bnt the general opinion among those prominently connected with the winter quarters is that it was the work of an incendiary. Oil Fire at Findiay. Findlav, O., Nov. 21. The oil well known as Infirmary, No. 1, situated about three miles west of this city, caught fire this afternoon, and is yet burning, with great danger to the surrounding country.

"Did n't ICnov 't was Loaded" May do for a stupid boy's excuse ; but what can be said for the parent who sees his child languishing daily and fails to recognize tbe want of a tonic and blood-purifier? Formerly, a course of bitters, or sulphur and molasses, was the rule in well-regulated families ; but nowall intelligent households keep Ayer's Sarsaparil la, -which is at once pleasant to the taste, and the most searching and effective blood medicine ever discovered. Nathan S. Cleveland, 27 E. Canton St., Boston, writes : " ily daughter, now 21 years old, was in perfect health until a year ago when she began to complain of fatigue, headache, debility, dizziness, indigestion, and loss of appetite. I concluded that all her complaints originated in impure blood, and induced her to take Ayer's Sarsaparilla. This medicine soon restored her blood-making organs to healthy action, and in due time reestablished "her former health. I find Ayer's Sarsaparilla a most valuable remedy for the lassitude and debility incident to spring time." J. Castright, Brooklyn Power Co., Brooklyn, N. Y., says : "As a Spring Medicine, I find a splendid substitute for the old-time compounds in Ayer's Sarsaparilla, with a few doses of Ayer's Pills. After their use, I feel fresher and stronger to go through the summer." Ayer's Sarsaparilla, PREPARED by Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co., Lowell, Mass. Price $1; six bottles, $5. Worth $5 a bottle.
