AN AFFKOXT TO RUSSIA.

Ferdinand to tie Recognized as the Ruler of llulgaria by Four Great Powers. Bclxl to the Indianapolis Journal London, Aug. 2J. It haa leaked out in Rome that the Austrian government has been for over a month sounding tho European powers on the recognition of Prince Ferdinand a tho ruler of Bulgaria, at tho game time strongly intimating the desire of Austria that Mich a course he adopted, and that the union of Bulgaria and Eastern Koumelia be also recognized by the powers. It is asserted that this proposal lias met with the approval of Germany, England and Italy, and that formal action is delayed only by the persistent objections of the Porte. It i3 confidently predicted that these objections will disappear under the influences which Lord Salisbury has promised to bring to bear upon the Turk, and then the formal recognition of Ferdinand as the legitimate ruler of his principality will take place. A high diplomatic functionary here conlinns the report that steps have been taken to secure the recognition of Princo Ferdinand, and says that the only serious ditliculty in the way is the determined attitude of ltussia. The Prince's wise and beneficent rule, the important reforms he has inaugurated in the two years of his reign, the love and veneration ho has earned for himself at the hands of his people, all have only served to increase the hatred felt for him In St. Petersburg, where, too, his Premier, M. Staiubouiofi, is cordially detested. Tho latter, at the recent celebration in Sophia of the second anniversary of Prince Ferdinand's accession, made a speech for which the Czar will never forgive him. Ho said that the Prince had achieved a triumph greater than that won on the battle-field of cilionitza, inasmuch as the enemy he had so successfully resisted for the past two 3-cars was a hundred times stronger than Servia. Hiuee the adhesion of England, however, to the policy of the central powers the attitude of Kussia in this matter has becomo of secondary importance, and Russia's emphatic refusal will not prevent the recognition 60 important to Ferdinand. That this will prove another item on tho long list which Kussia is scoring up against tho neighbors for settlement, can scarcely be doubted, hut she is more likely to nurse her wrath in quiet for somo tirao to come than to declare this recognition a casus belli at the time when Geriuauy, Austria, Italy and England present a united lront to her aggression. Tho recognition on the part of the last named powers and of tho Porte will undoubtedly occur beforo isoo. t GENERAL FOKEIGN NEWS.

FOR AMERICAN COMMERCE

Recommendations Made by the Pacific Coast Conference at San Francisco. The United States Holds Fourth Place in the World's Traders icaragua Canal Congress Asked for Steamship Subsidies. San Francisco, Aug. 29. The commercial conference, which was called by the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce 6ome time ago, met here this afternoon. The organizations represented were the San Francisco Produce Exchange, Manufacturers' Association, Chamber of Commerce, Board of Trade, California State Board of Trade. Chambers of Commerce, of Los Angeles. San Diego and Eureka. Several of the State's representatives in Congress were present, and letters were received from others. The committees appointed borne time ago to prepare papers upon various subjects submitted their reports. The first was an encouragement to commerce and increased energy in construction of the navy. The report enters largely into trade statistics, showing that the United States Ktands fourth in rank among the great commercial nations of the world. The report urges that other American countries and Australian colonies would be clad to have closer trade relations with the United States if better transportation facilities wero provided. It suggests that the law should bo repealed requiring vessels in foreign trade to be built and owned in America before being registered. It appeals to Congress to adopt measures which will secure that portion of the world's commerce, remunerative employment for the people and perfect security from foreign aggression. The next report submitted was upon the prompt construction of the Nicaragua canal as a means of national defense and commercial development. The report declares that it would be a national crime to permit any European power to obtain such advantage as that which would be secured by the United States by the construction of this canal. Itsimportance as a naval station and means of quick passage from the eastern to the western coast of America, as well as its commercial advantages, is pointed out. A lengthy report was also submitted on tho marine defense of the Pacific coast ports. The fact is deplored that the present fortifications are a reproach to the wisdom and statesmanship of the country, and that in tho event of war the Pacific coast would bo at the mercy of any foreign power. Congress is urged to make the beginning toward the proper coast defense at the earliest moment. Another report was on the subject of establishing aud maintaining permanent ocean mail steamship lines. Tno first reference was to the mail 6ervicoof San Francisco and Vancouver With China and Japan. The Canadian Pacific's three steamers are subsidized at tho rate of nearly $o3,000 per round trip for each steamer, while the eight steamers of tho two American companies running from San Francisco are allowed $400 for the round trip. Tho report declares that tho statement of this fact is enough to condemn tho parsimonious policy of our government in resect to the oceau commerce and admiration for the liberal and progressive policy of England and Canada. Among the other striking features presented isthe fact the Australian and New Zealand mails to and from San Francisco aro carried by the American Steamship Company, which receives S'-U.OOO yearly from the lawaiian government, 200,000 from the Australian and New Zealand, and about 4,000 from the United States, which latter sura has lately been increased to $47,000. owing to dissatisfaction of the New Zealand government. Kesolutions wero submitted ealling upon Congress to enact the necessary laws and appropriate a sufficient sum of money to enable American steamship lines to compete with the foreign subsidized lines running to China and Japan, South American points. New Zealand and Australia, Mexican, Central American and British Columbian joints. Kesolutions also faTor the adoption of the French scale of navigation and naval bounties for ships, provided that all tho ships be built with a view tO being enrolled in the naval reserve list.

The Citizens' Bank, of Prairie City, Jasper county, failed to-day, with liabilities estimated at from $75,000 to $100,000. The assets are claimed to ' be above tho latter sura.

Last night the Federation of Republican Clubs of the Third congressional district, which represents twenty-three associations, adopted the following: Resolved, That we, as Republicans, pledge ourselves not to supiort any one for ottlce, either national, fcftate or city, who is In favor of the present odious civil service, or its application in the distribution of public patronage, whereby the majority of appointments are awarded to yonng men fresh from schools and colleges, whiio active, intelligent, educated and deserving men of our own party are barred out on account of age, or have failed to answer foolish questions not pertinent to the service in which they are seeking employment. We believe that the present civil -service law Is a relic of European governments, is injurious to the party success, and not at all appropriate to a republican form of government, and, therefore, should be repealed.

The Best Portion of the Illttorio Tillage of S&ckett's Harbor Again Destroyed. Watertown, N. Y., Aug. 20. The business portion of the historic village of Sack ett's Harbor was destroyed by fire last night, involving a loss of about $40,000. The telegraph and telephone offices, the Rome, Watertown & Ogdensburg ticket office, every saloon in the place, dry goods and grocery, hardware and general stores, and the warehouses containing supplies of government contracts for Madison barracks, and the best part of the village below the railroad tracks, were all destroyed. There was no organized firo department, and the efforts of the United States regulars at Madison barracks, with an old-fashioned hand-pump engine, alone saved the village from entire destruction. The Watertown tire department was called upon, but tho lire was under control when they arrived, at 4 a. M. Recently the tax-payers had voted down an appropriation to purchase a steam nre-eneino. This is the second big tire in the village within three years, tho other one having occurred in January, 1887, when the loss was about &55,OO0. The tire originated in a vacant building, and it is supposed to have beenof incendiary origin. The total loss is about $40,000; insurance, about $18,000. The biggest individual sufferer is Bernard Eveleigh, whose loss is about $12,000. Forest Fires in Montana. Helena, M. T., Aug. 20.

About two thousand cords of wood were burned. A tire also started in French gulch, and it is feared it will reach the Anaconda Fluming Company's camp, where they have over 75,000 cords of wood. Over a hundred men have gone to the camp to ught the hre. Another Tillage Suffers ITeavy Loss. Dansville, Mich., Aug. 20.
