Mound City, Hi., sustained a disastrous fire Tuesday morning. Three of the principal business houses and one of the best residences in the town were lost, together with most of their contents. The origin of the fire is unknown, but the popular belief is that it is the work of an incendiary. The property was all insured to the amount of four-fifths of its value. In a heavy gale Tuesday night a large steamer went ashore off Drumhead, a small fishing village near Isaac’s harbor, N. S., and without doubt those on board were drowned.

There are two counties in Western Kansas threatened by prairie fire.

WASHINGTON NOTES.
The continued reports of the assembling of a large United States fleet In Turkish waters are discredited by those in a posltiop to know at the Navy Department.

Sir Julian Goldsmld, the well-known Hebrew philanthropist, who has been ill for some time past, is dead. He was born In 1838. The news of the surrender of Johannesburg after being in the possession of the insurgents for three or four days Is confirmed at London. The authority of the Boer government is fully re-established. Orders have been sent to Portsmouth Devonport and Chatham for the Immediate commissioning of six ships to form a flying squadron, the object of which Is obviously to have a British squadron ready for any required emergency. A special dispatch from Berlin to London says that Dr. iLeyds, the Secretary of State of the Transvaal, has received a dispatch which states that the Transvaal demands from England an indemnity of £500,000 for Dr. Jameson’s invasion. The Chilean press continues to attack the Monroe doctrine, declaring that the kind of protection it may afford is more to be feared than the old enemy of the country. The Correspondencla, a Madrid newspaper, states that the insurgents have attacked Hoyo Colorado, which is three leagues from Havana. The Spaniards were outnumbered and surrendered. General Campos, it is further stated, defeated the insurgents near Havana. At a special audience which Dr. W. J, Leyds, the Secretary of State of the Transvaal, had with Emperor William, his majesty declared that he would not recognize any claim of suzerainty over the Transvaal. Great Britain, by the treaty of 1884, claims suzerainty over the Transvaal Republic. Philip Reclam, the publisher, is dead at Leipsic. Disorders have occurred in the East End of London, growing out-of the fact that the German and Dutch sailors about the docks were hissed and molested.

The president’s message is a bitter Mil to real Democrats. Kansas is being redeemed in 12 cent iorn knd 40 cent'wheat.
