raw material for Rhode Island manufacturing industries, covering necessaries of life, and denonnce the policy by means of which the Kastern States are reduced to the position of the fiscal feudatories of Pennsylvania and Ohio.

THICKER TlIAJf BEES. Candidate for the Alayoralty at Chicago and the Principles They Represent. Chicago. March 12. What promises to bo the liveliest political campaign ever witnessed in Chicago was formally opened to-night by Elmer Washburn, who is the first candidate to receive and accept a nomination for the Mayoralty. He is the candidate of an Independent citizens organization, similar to the municipal reform movement in New York. Elmer Washburn was chief of police when Joseph Medill was Mayor of Chicago, and made a remarkable record for his independence of ward bosses and effective enforcement of the laws. Until his name was suddenly sprung the Republicans seemed especially committed to Ilempsted Washburn, son of the well-known United States Minister to Paris. Ilempsted Washburn, who is no relative of Elmer, is exceedingly popular with German-Americans, because of his father record during the Franco-Prussian war, and the fact that his wife is an IrishAmerican was thought to add to his prestige with a large element. There seems a decided chance, tonight, that ilempsted Washburn will be the straight Republican candidate; Elmer Washburn, the Independent: Mayor Cregier, the Democratic nominee, and ex-Mayor, exCon gresaman Carter II. Harrison, an Independent. Harrison, aided by ex-Congressman Lawler, is making an extraordinarily picturesque canvass for the Democratic nomination, stirring up all his old-time adherents among the Germans, Irish, Poles, Scandinavians and the dozen or so other Solyglot parts of Chicago's population, eaides the two Wasbburns, Cregier and HarrisonTommy " Morgan, the laboragitator, has been nominated for Mayor by the Socialists, and will formally accept in a day or two. Aside from the regular partisan issues Sunday closing of saloons and suppression of gambling are cutting a heavy figure in the many-coroered light. The only platform yet put forward is the one made to-night by the representatives of the citizens' movement and issued iu connection with Elmer Washburn's letter of acceptance. This platform says: (The purpose of our organization is - to secure the moral and physical cleansing of,the city of Chicago without an increase in the rate of taxation, by the application of business and civil-service reform methods to the municipal aflairs of Chicago.and the impartial enforcement of all existing laws and ordinances. It is admitted that the great majority of voters desire that kind of a municipal government, and that Our city stands in extreme need of it, both on account of its present deplorable condition, and because upon the Mayor to be elected next month will very largely depend the fact as to whether you will be proud or ashamed of Chicago when her guests shall assemble, two years hence, from all quarters of the globe." PITTSBURG'S BIG FIKE. Xoss Now riaced at 8300,000, with 8235,000 Insurance Uaiy Night for Firemen. PiTTSBuno, March 12. The great Woodstreet tire was not entirely subdued until 6 cciock tnia morning, due tne names were kept within the bounds of the Welding Block and the Germania Bank Building.' Both these structures are completely ruined. Nothing remains of the Welding Building but a portion of the front and side walls. The Germania Building was an iron structure, and all that is left of it are the four walls, which will probably have to be torn down. Occupants of the buildings for a block in either direction suffered considerable from water and small tires, occasioned by Hying sparks. The wind was very high, and at one time the tire in en were kept busy with a dozen miniature tires within a radius of a quarter of a mile of the great conflagration. The worst scare was caused by a spark that alighted in the cornice of the Duqnesne Theater, on Penn avenue, fully five blocks away. The cornice commenced to burn, but the flames were subdued without much damage. Aa near as can be estimated to-day the loss will be about $00,000 dollars, upon which there is 225,000 insurance. The heaviest losers are J. 1L Welding &. Co., the Germania Bank and Adam Reinman. Carnegie's, the Chamber of Commerce and the custom-house also sustained' quite heavy losses.' The origin of the tire is still a mystery. There were two explosions of natural gas, but they occurred alter the fire had been discovered. No lives were lost, although there were many narrow escapes from falling walls. Other Eosses. Madison, Ind., March 12. At 4:15 this morning fire was discovered in the Western Hotel. All the guests escaped, but the building and furniture were damaged to the extent of 3,000; fully covered by insurance in the Continental of New York and the North British and Mercantile of London. Omaha. Neb. March 12. The Bohn sash and door factory was destroyed by fire this evening. Loss, $150,000; insurance, $10,000. Amsterdam, N. Y.. March 12. A $25,000 fire occurred late this afternoon in the large retail dry-gooda house of A. Mark & Sons. Fully insured. OBITUARY. Gen. John W. Fuller, m Brave Soldier During the War of the Rebellion. Cincinnati, March 12. A dispatch from Toledo announces the death there to-day of Gen. John W. Fuller. General Fuller had a brilliant record during the war of the rebellion. He was the first colonel of the Twenty-seventh Ohio Infantry. He distincuished himself by a defeat of Forest at Parker's Crossroads, Tennessee, in 1S62, and again in the battle of Corinth, in lbC2. His division it was that met the heavy shock of a large portion of Hood's army at the battle of Atlanta. July 2V lSftl, and at that time General Fuller performed an act of personal valor not often equaled during the war. He was subsequently made brevet Major-general, and commanded a division. General Fuller retired from business some years ago on account of ill health. Other Deaths. Galena, March 12. Celestine Kaltenbach. the oldest postmaster in the Northwest, died Tuesday night at hia home in Potosi, Wis., aged eighty-five. He was appointed postmaster at Potosi in 1838. and, with the exception of two years, held the position until his death. Attempts to Wreck Passenger Trains. Nokwalx, Conn.. March 12. Two more attempts to wreck New York & New Haven railroad trains were made at East Norwalk last night, but neither was successful. An east-boand accommodation train going at great speed dashed into a huge pile of ties, which had been placed across the track, and threw them in every direction, but the engine and cars did not leave the rails. Portions of the locomotive, however, were broken or twisted. The second attempt was made an hour later. The Boston express, which passes through here at 9 o'clock, struck a similar pile of ties near the east end of the South Norwalk draw-bridge, but the train proceeded on its way tc New York after some slight damage to the locomotive was repaired. OiLlcera are searching for the criminals.

Many Vessels Wrecked and Eighty Persons Drovrned or Frozen Off the Fngllsh Coast. London, March 12. A foreign steamship, the name, of which is unknown, was wrecked off Start point, near Dartmouth, near Devonshire, England, during the recent blizzard. All the crew and passengers were drowned. The British ship Dryad, Captain Thomas, bound from Shields for Valparaiso, has also been wrecked oil Start point. Her crew,, consisting of twenty-four men and officers, havo been drowned. TbV Dryad was an iron vessel of 1.085 tons burden. She was built at Liverpool, and was owned by J. B. Walmsley, of that city. Among the schooners lost off Start Point was the Lunesdale. Four of her crew were drowned. Her captain was saved. The schooner Lizzie Ellen was also lost, and tivo of her crew were drowned. It is known that at least seventy lives have been lost during the blizzard, and, in addition, at least ten men perished from cold and exposure after reaching the shore. It is feared that the list of wrecks and the record of lives lost is far from being complete, as several vessels are known to be missing. 'Many points inland, at which the storm was most severely felt, are still isolated from the surrounding country and days must elapue before through freight and traffic are entirely restored on the branch lines of the railroads. The severity of the storm and the difficulty of restoring the lines of communication to their usual state of usefulness may be judged from the fact that an express train which left Plymouth on Monday is still blocked up near the Brent river. The passengers are suffering severe ly from exposure. Gangs of laborers numbering hundreds have been sent from all directions to clear the railroad lines in Devonshire and Cornwall, where the snow-drifts have piled up so heavily that cuttings twelve feet have to be made through the snow, which is frozen into an almost solid mass. The loss to farm stock is enormous and will entail much suffering among the farmers, who have already lost considerable money by the - terrible weather experienced at the end of last year. The water-mains at Plymouth are snowed up to such an extent that a force of two hundred soldiers from the garrison has been sent to assist the water-works employes in clearing the mains. As it is, no water has passed through the mains since Monday last, and a water famine is now added to the other sufferings which the people of Plymouth have had to endure in this terrible blizzard, which has caused so much distress in England. Snow-storms have again set in in the West of England, and all roads and railways are again blocked. Other Marine News. London, March 12.

The Societe des De Pots de Comptes Courants, of this city, is in a critical position. The societe, or bank referred to. eullered acutely during the recent financial crisis in London and Buenos Ayres. The societe at the present time has only 18,000,000 francs on hand with which to meet claims amounting to 68,000,000 fiancs. After a long consultation between the eociete's direotors and its executive officers it was decided to ask the government to come to the assistance of the imperilled financial institution. Consequently M. Donon, the managing director, called upon M. Kouvier, the Minister of Finance, arid plainly stated the whole case to him. Finally M. Donon asked M. Kouvier to advance the societe the sum of 50,000,000 francs. After making some inquiries as to the tinaucial position of the societe M. Kouvier placed himself in communication with the directors of the Bank of France, and, after giving them all the information which had been furnished to the Minister of Finance by M. Donon, asked the Bank of France to come to the assistance of the societe. The Bank of France directors, after some deliberation, said that they felt compelled to refuse the assistance asked for. M. Kouvier then informed M. Donon of the danger of application to the Bank of France. and, with the permission of the director of the Societo Des de Pots de Comptes Courants, the Minister of Finance convened a meeting of the directors of the leading financial houses of .Paris. The meeting resulted in the Bank of Franco agreeing to advance most of the money required. The shares of the societe have fallen to 370 francs, a decline of ISO francs in two days. The following is the basis of the settlement decided upon: The Bank of France advances 00,000,000 francs to tf o i- jciete, which sum i3 guaranteed by the bills of the societe, and the societe calls for 873 francs per share from its shareholders. The financial houses jointly guarantee the sum of 15,000,000 francs to the Bank of France. The assets of the societe will be assigned for the payment of the advances. It is understood that the liabilities of the societe are under 00,000,000 francs. In connection with the troubles in which the societe huds itself, it is stated in financial circles here that the first reports of tho societe being in difficulties were promoted by bear operators ou the Paris Bourse, and that when these rumors were first circulated the position of the societe or bank was financially sound. DISTRESS IN IRELAND. What Has Been Done bj Mr. Balfonr to Relieve It Money Voted by the Commons. London, March 12. In the House of Commons, this evening, in committee of supply. Mr. Balfour, Chief Secretary for Ireland, asked a credit of 55,831 for the relief of distress in Ireland. He explained that the government had adopted every possible means to expedite relief works, which otherwise could not have been begun before April or May. He spoke highly of the assistance farmers, priests and landlords had rendered, which had saved the government much expense. Altogether, eight hundred men were employed on tbse works, and about forty thousand persons bad been relieved. He had carefully inquired into the condition of every district, availing himself of every source of information, official and unofficial, and many private sources. He never allowed a statement of actual starvation to be twentyfour hours in his possession without instituting an immediate special inquiry, and in every cao of absolute destitution reported he had found complete and, in many cases, fraudulent misrepresentation. There had been no cases of starvation on the mainland, but there had been a great risk of starvation on the islands. . and therefore, special steamers had been chartered to investigate

I the condition ol the inhabitants, and to

convey meat and other supplies to them. 113 dwelt upon the difficulty of obtaining an adequate supervision of relief works in order to insure that all deserving? and no undeserving persons should be employed. In some districts, where reliable lists of deMTving persons could be obtained, 7 shillings was paid weekly to persons on relief works, but in other districts, where it was impossible to obtain such lists, the men were paid only in kind, meal to the value of 11 pence being given daily to each workman. This had the effect of diminishing the demand for work. The total number of persons engaged on relief .works on Feb.28was7,S07. The total amount of wages that had been paid was 21,159. The government was at present spending 3,000 weekly in wages. Mr. Morley saia that he generally approved the points of Sir. Balfour's relief schemes for Ireland. Mr. Thomas Wallace Knssell, a Liberal, opposed to home rule, said that never before had distress in Ireland been so admirably met as at the present time. The credit asked for by Mr. Balfour was adopted. The House by 150 to 40 adopted a vote of SCS0,000 for light railways in Ireland. GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS.

Novel Feature of a Southern Banquet to Which Cleveland Sent Regrets. Table Famished with Evidence that the McKinley Lair Is a Beneficial Measure Battle-Fields Viewed by Northern Visitors. Citattanooga. Tenn., March 12. The opportunity for sight-seeing which the people of Chattanooga have given their guests from the national capital was crowned today with a continuous round of interesting events. Secretary Proctor and his guests, including Attorney-general Miller and Gen. George B. Williams, went to Atlanta last night, but the congressional and other membersof the visiting party remained and viewed other famous battlefields around Chattanooga. In the morning Missionary Ridge was visited, and from Bragg's old headquarters General Boynton gave a description of the great battle which ended in the capture of the ridge. The party was then taken through the National Cemetery and back to the city, which they left in the afternoon for Lookout Mountain. The clouds had lifted by this time, and from the summit a magnificent vievr of Chattanooga valley, with its environment of ridges and mountains succeeding each other, was obtained, the swollen river oversowing its banks in many places, giving the appearance of plain and city intersected with canals. Congressman Clements, of Georgia, whose district embraces the Chicamauga field, has been selected by Secretary Proctor to negotiate with the owners for the lands needed for the national park. To-night the party attended the banquet given at the Read House to celebrate the inauguration of the Basic steel process in the South, the dinner being in honor of Mr. Mat Baxter and Mr. A. M. Shook, who have established the practicability of the process, after a long test, and have opened steelworks in Chattanooga. There were the elaborate decorations of flowers, potted plants and national colors, but the distinguishing feature of the occasion was the tableware, much of which, including plates and 'the cover of the menu cards, consisted of tin-plate recently made in this country, from Chattanooga sieel. Covers were laid for about 11X) guests, among whom were Senators Manderson, Frye, Hawley, Butler, Sanders and Carey; Representatives McKinley, Cogswell, Cannon, Wheeler, Hooker, McMillin, Allen of Michigan, Post, Henderson of Illinois, Osborne, Clements and Baker. Adolph S. Ochs, of the Chattanooga Times, presided as chairman of the Chamber of Commerce committee, and Mayor Merriam welcomed the guests. After the toasts were responded to, impromptu addresses were made by Senator Sanders, Representatives McKinley, Cannon and others. CLEVELAND'S REGRETS. " Letters of regret were read from a number of distinguished gentlemen. Ex-President Cleveland wrote: "I fully appreciate the importance and value of the event the Chamber of. Commerce of your city proposes to celebrate. Few things, it seems to me, are better worthy of your people's joyful notice. I should greatly enjoy being with you to join in the contemplated celebration, and have attempted to see my way clear to that accomplishment, but am obliged, however, on account of duties and engagements here, to forego the pleasure it would atlord me to accept your exceedingly courteous invitation." Abram S. Hewitt: "I regret exceedingly that the state of my health will deprive me of the pleasure of being present, but I can assure you that I sympathize fully with the feeling which induces your citizens to honor these gentlemen, as they deserve to be honored for their enterprise, intelligence and success in introducing the branch of business which will hereafter be a leading industry of the region of which Chattanooga is the center. The South is the natural home of the basio process just as the North must necessarily be the great producer of acid steel. It is an interesting fact that these products have each their proper field of usefulness, and that the basio steel of the South will undoubtedly find a market north of the Ohio river, iust as thepig-iron of the South has invaded Northern territory." After urging the South to give liberal treatment to railroads and various industries, the letter concludes: Tf the South shall sternly set its face against all repudiation, against all violation of plighted faith, its future is assured, and its people will be the happiest and most contented in the world.'1 Chaunoey M. Depew: "Certainly one of the most interesting contributions to the wealth and prosperity of the country is the iron development in the territory of which Chattanooga is the center. To be able to supplement this industry with the successful manufacturing of basic steel is an event of more than ordinary importance, not only in its local, but in its national aspects. Senator Brown and Governor Northen, of Georgia; Governor Buchanan, of Tennessee; Calvin S. Bnce. Henry Fins: and Congressman Niedringhaus were among others who expressed regrets. To-morrow morning the Washington party will leave Chat tanooga for home. Condition of Dr. Windthorst. Berlin, March 12. Herr Windthorst, the leader of the Centre party in the Reichstag, who has been dangerously ill with congestion of the lungs for some days past, was in a state of collapse during last night. The Emperor sent one of his aides-de-camp at midnight to make inquiries as to the state of Herr Windthorst's health. A medical consultation was held to-day, and the physicians decided that the crisis would last for several days. The condition of the patient's right lung is improving. The Empress to-dav sent a bouquet to Dr. Windthorst, with her kind wishes for bis Rpeedy recovery. The Pope has telegraphed his blessing. Gang of Train Ilobbers Arrested. Pittsburg, March 12.

On bis information, Jesse Jones and Bert Graham, brakemen and a yardman named' Rupert, all of Fixburg, have been arrested, and more are being looked for but have disappeared. It Was Mot a Hilarious Funeral Party. San Francisco, March 12. The story telegraphed from the East that the Hearst funeral party had assumed the nature of a junketing trip has reached the ears of the Congressmen who escorted the remains and aroused their indignation. Judge Valentine, Sergeant-at-arms of the Senate, declared that it was an unkind and wholly untrue reflection upon the gentleman composing the committees. It was a sad journey, he said, and all tbose who attended the funeral, including the largest committees ever sent out by Congress to attend a funeral, were impressed with its sadness. Certain y the coaches showed no sign of the wild hilarity of which the dispatch had spoken. Two Levees Broken and a Town Flooded. Mem puis, Tenn., March 12. The levee at Conlep's lake, thirty miles south of this city, gave way late last night, and the water poured into the little village, completely flooding everything. News was received at Vicksburg today of a break in the levee near Sunflower Landing, in Coahoma county, three miles north of the Bolivar county line.

New York, Deo. 31, 1838. ) To TTon. E. A. Anger, Allan ta, Ga: My Dear BirI thank you for your good letter of the 20th about General Loncrstreet, and promptly assure you that I will rejoice at every piece of good fortune which may happen to him in his old age to give him comfort and honor, but I inust not be an active agent, because I am overloaded with friends who now turn to me naturally and properly. 1 Will not write a personal letter to General Harrison, whom I know to he an honest, true and able man, perfectly qualltled to fultlll the nftice he has undertaken, and who should be allowed to choose his Cabinet aa unbiased by outside pressure as In selecting his wife. I hold that any Intrusion now would be a positive wrong. He has a heavy burden to carry during the next four years, and I, of all men. must not add to that burden a single ounce. I have thought over the subject long, and my thoughts have crystallized to positive conclusions. The men of mature years who, in 1801 to lbU5, endeavored to disrupt our national government, should not be intrusted with for eign legations, with Cabinet positions or with seats on the Supreme bench, in all other oinces thoy ought to have a liberal share. 1 know that Longstreet would be absolutely true and faithful to any otlice in the gift of this government, but no nation on earth can afford to put a premium on treason, but II he will be content to be United States marshal of Georgia, postmaster of Atlanta, or take any United States appointment within the limits of his domicile. I will in dorse him strong. I knew him as a cadet and in the old army, and If every newspaper of the South were to charge him with anything dishonest or insincere, I would resent it as quick as thought. Longstreet went Into the confederate army from an Impulse, honest, enthusiastic and positive, and when the war was over I know ot my own knowledge that he stood up like a man to regain lor ( hia whole county the condition or law and prosperity which had been so foolishly and so recklessly Jeopardized by the civil war. General Grant, who knewt Longstreet even better than I, always spoke Ttf him with affection and respect. General Grant, as president, was most anxious to draw to his support the live men of the South, whose manly valor he had encountered and respected, but the old political element defeated his generous intentions. As you report of Gen. Longstreet, the North to-day is hardly prepared to see an ex-confederate at the head 01 the w ar Department; that is, the Northern people aie law-abiding people, and will ratify any choice which President-elect Harrison shall make, but if I can proffer any advice I would personally prefer tome Union general, of which our country Is full. In any and every other way will I do what is possible and probable to recognize and rev. Ard e vconf ederates of the type of Gen. James Lonj?street, whose personal friend I claim to nave constantly been for fifty years since 1833. Robert Bay Hamilton. Brooklyn Eagle. As with Charley Ross, so will it be with Robert Ray Hamilton.

To invent the roles for hir. per formances will not embarrass the romancers. As a shepherd in Australia, a missionary in Africa, a mandarin in China, or an explorer within the frigid compass' of the Arctic oircle, he will fill a place in the observation of the large and gullible section of mankind which takes all things for granted and, gudgeon-like, swallows every bait that is ever attached to the hook of curiosity. To Hamilton himself, who persists in lingering beyond the dark nver, this constant terrestrial reappearance isno doubt embarrassing. Nevertheless, he will find no adequate remedy nntil the practice of mendacity is reduced to inartistio proportions and most of the fibbers have gone to their final rest. No Exta Session Wanted. Philadelphia Telegraph. What the country wants is rest from the possibility of continued political agitation at Washington. The national administration can go right on, in a quiet and efficient way, without stirring up afresh any of the issues which have been exciting the public mind the past year. Let the President enjoy himself during his needful outing, and return to his duties in a calm frame of mind, keeping all the prefessional politicians, in and out of Congress. ft a good distance for the next eight inont!i. In so doing he will promote his own peace of mind, the comfort of his administration, the interests of his party, and the welfare of the country. , Should Have Indorsed Oglesby at First. Chicago Inter Oceanl General Palmer thanked the Republicans yesterday for standing by what he called the old method of electing a Senator. And with good reason. Had the Republican convention of last June indorsed General Oglesby for Senator, as the Democratic convention indorsed Palmer, there would have been W prolonged contest in the Legislature and Palmer would not have been Senator. General Palmer's remark yesterday was pertinent and to the point. Will Endeavor to Arbitrate. Chicago, March 12. The Master Carpenters' and Builders' Association, at a meeting to-night, appoiuted a committee to meet delegates from the journeymen's organization on Saturday, with a view to arbitrating the differences that threatened to lead to a serious strike. The action was taken at the request of the journeymen. Both sides are relieved at the prospect of a settlement. The only issue is the question of wages. New Departure In Railway Tickets. Baltimore. March 12. The Baltimore &. Ohio has joined with other great railroads of the country in a movement which is expected to make a sweeping change in the f resent mode of selling passenger tickets, t has been determined, if possible, to break away entirely from the old custom of issuing unlimited tickets, and hereafter have a time limit and proportionate rate for every slip disposed of. Association Dall Schedule Completed. Cincinnati, O., March 12. The American Base Ball Association completed its sched ule of games at 9 o'clock to-night. It is bey lieved that on only two or three instances the dates clash with those of the League. Grounds for the Cincinnati club have not been selected yet. Kelley announces that he has secured the sixth member of the Association club. It is claimed it is Hoy. Assignment of an Old Firm. Lagrange,' Texi March 12. August Heintz & Co., the largest and one of the oldest mercantile houses of this city, made an assignment to-day for the benefit of their creditors. Liabilities estimated at 8100,000. Value of assets not yet ascertained, but it is generally believed they .1a. , r win oe ampie to pay an credits miuii. Will Suffer for Their Folly. Milwaukee SentineL There will be no more investments of outside capital in Kansas until the Alliar.ce f:oes to pieces and no extension of railroad ines. Note for Financial Cranks. Omaha Bee. The financial condition of the Argentine Republic tends to show that hatiam and bankruptcy are inseparable. He Will Lie There. Bochester Ilcrald. Personally. Mr. Reed will have Jnst aa much fun with the next Congress as ho has had with the present one.

He Is m Little Surprised When lie Hi Ink now Kindly fie Treated the Democrats. Washington Special to New York World. Strange as it may seem. Speaker Reed had some very 'warm personal friends oa the Democratio side of the) last House. There were several with whom he loved to linger and exchange jokes as much as with any of his brethren on the Republican side. And he has the greatest respeot for some of those Democrats with whom he has had the hardest and most acrimonious contests, both in committee-rooms and in the hail of the House. He is not on speaking terms with Mr. Mills, of Texas, but only the other day he expressed the highest regard for tho liery Texan. "Mr. Mills." ho said, "is a hard fighter. I sometimes think he shows more right than is reasonable or fair, but he is a straightforward, honest, manly man. I never , W 1 A.ll 11. A -J - Knew mm to ten a lie or to uo a xneau act. rt i.i! r : m i xvepreseuiauve vraiu, ui lexae, ib a personal favorite with Mr. Reed. The relations between the twojare so friendly, and intimate that Mr. Crain had no hestation in . stepping up to the ex-Speaker after the final adjournment of the House last Wednesday and inquiring what apology he had to make for his high-handed treatment of the House. Mr. Reed paused, smiled, searched the ceiling a few seconds for an answer, and then said: "My dear boy, you ruzzlo me. Your ones tion makes me feel pretty much as Lord Clive, according to his own expression, might have felt when he was under exam nation by a committee of the British Parlia' ment on a charge of having acted iu too high-handed a manner in India "Yon remember that as commander of the British forces in India Clive was accused of accenting for his own benefit presents from the native princes whom he had subdued, and of being unkind in his treatment of some of those native princes. Clive thought of the condition in which he found British interests in India and the condition in which he left them. He recalled the horrors of the black hole of Calcutta and the fact that there was not a British force within fifteen thousand miles to avenge that atrocity. Moreover, he remembered that the British bad been deprived of nearly all the foothold they had ever had in India, and were on tho' point of being driven, bag and baggage, into the Indian ocean when be organized, almost created, a small force, with which he turned the tide on the natives ar.d established the British empire in India. Then he remembered how complete bis victories were, what vast opportunities he had for revenge, how thoroughly he had the barbarians in his powerand how little mercy the barbarians deserved. When he thought of the opportunities he bad. and of how little advantage he took of them, of the temptations that beset him. and of how little he yielded, bis indignation at the paltry charges presented against him boiled over, and he could not help exclaim ing: "'My God. gentlemen! I'm amazed at my own moderation.' "And you will not forget," Mr. Reed' added, suggestively, "that the House of Commons, as a result of that investigation, passed unanimously a resolution declaring that Lord Clive had rendered great and meritorious services to England and to India." ja Scoundrels Who Should Tie lrpt Oat. Buffalo Commercial Matters have reached a very serious crisis when a gang of Polish Jews cau leave New York, go to a town on Long Island, break open a man's shop, destroy his stock, pour vitriol on his child and set fire to the build ing, and all this because he dares to employ non-union tailors. The demonstration of this fiendish description at Jamaica, this week, has done more than anything that has happened for a long time to stimulate a demand for stronger legislation to ktep out a class of undesirable immigrants. There should be no room in the United States for such scoundrels. Herr Gustave Freytag, the well-known German author, who is now about seventyfiv years of age, bfling born July 1JJ, lblfi, at Kreuzbourg. in Silesia, was married, at Vienna, on Tuesday last, to Mine. trak osch, who is separated from her husband. Mme. Strakosch is an Austro-German. and an elocutionist. It is not known that she is related to the Strakosch family so well Known in tho United States in connectior with operatio matters.
