The loss will not fall short of $400,000, with an insurance for half the' amount. The building .occupied land two blocks long : and one block in depth. The oldest one was erected in 1544 and.ls.j2, and contained lecture rooms, the chapel and dormatories, the parish school, a free school and music hall.. All were de-

stroyed, including forty pianos and the valuable library. Thousands of dollars’ worth of vestments were destroyed.

The North Chicago rolling-mills, at south Chicago, shut dot\ n Wednesday for an indefinite period, throwing out of employment some fifteen, hundred men. Manager Potter states'that the suspension of work is but temporary; that railroads are withholding their orders on account of the present state of politics, and it became necessary to. shut down for the time being. He also states that it is quite probable that the company may resume work the latter part of this month!

FOREIGN. At a breakfast Thursday morning Emperor William gave a toast to German unity, and said that 46,00 >,OOO Germans would rather die than to deliver a single stone of Alsace-Lorraine to France. The Toronto and Hamilton Young Men's Liberal Club held a great meeting in favor of reciprocity last week.

Notices te this effect have been served on Mr. Leedie, representing Mr. Purnell, and Mr. Saames, acting for the Times. It wi£ be impossible for the t/ial-of ParnelFfj.action for libel against the Times to be opened before January, and the Times has power to' further delay the trial umtii February 17. It looks as if the Judicial Commissioners in London had nun a race with Me. Parnell in Scotanohand won.

WASHINGTON.

TEae Senate refused Thursday bv a vote •of 24 to 27, to postpone • consideration of the fisheries treaty until December. Inthe House, on Saturday, Mr. Bynuua -spoke for an hour on General Harrison’s record on the Chinese question, and was answered by Mr. Gwen. -The debate was spirited-aztd partisan. Dteaing the present session of Congress.there have been 11,000,000 copies of speeches of members distributed among their constituents. The dear peoplevmust be educated. In «rder to break the House dead-lock, the Democrats called up the Chinese restrietkm bill, and the Republicans, being unwilling to put themselves in the attitude of opposing legislation on this subject,, ceased filibustering and .allowed the previous matter to pass. Congressman Matson, of Indiana, has ' declined to accept the silver service which was presented to him, Saturday, by the employes of tiie Government Printing Office, on the ground that .it is not proper for him to accept any reward for the performance of a duty imposed upon him as .a member of Congress, and that it would set a very bad precedent. A dispatch to the Indianapolis Journal, -Saturday, says’ tlie^Republicans in Congress are 'well pleased over the' record they have made on pension legislation. They have, it is stated, stood solidly together in support of a motion to set aside two days for pension legislation, &nd the Democrats have been forced to vote almost solidly against the proposition or refrain from voting, leaving thd House without a quorum. This latter result has been a deadlock. The Republicans, the dispatch says, intend to stand out for some time longer to force the Democrats, if possible, to show their hands more plainly than they have.

YELLOW FEVER SPREADING.

Yellow fever is spreading throughput Florida. Every attempt is being made at Jacksonville, and elsewhere, to check the epidemic, and the exodus from the affected districts includes almost everybody with funds enough « to pay for transportation. Immense fires have been kept burning, coal tar bfcing freely burned. The air is full of smoke, coal tar fumes and the combined .horrible odor of assafeotida, chloride of lime., sulphur, etc. The exodus has caused a scarcity of money. Provisions, also, it is feared,will run short. • Vegetables are. growing scarce, as there seems no way to market them. Altogether there is promise of much suffering among the poor people unless relief is' afforded. The mildness of the disease alone contributes to the quietness of The Situation. _

POLITICAL.

Congressman Steele has been unanimously renominated. Connecticut Republicans have nominated Hon. Morgan S. Buckley for Governor, General S. E. Merwin, of New Haven, for Lieutenant Governor, and R. J. Walsh for Secretary oL jitate, aßd a full State ticket. Mr. Blaine arrived at hjs home in Augusta, Tuesday evening of last week., His trip was an ovation at every stopping point" and at Augusta it ; seemed that all the town had turned -out to~wel—come him. He enters into the Maine campaign at once. 7* A New York evening paper alleges that Brice has been practically deposed from the chairmanship of the National Democratic campaign committee by President Cleveland, owing to his lack of energy in pushing the campaign on the tariff reduction lines laid down in the President’s message. "It is stated that the President, in an interview with Col. Brice, criticised the latter’s course in very emphatic terms, and that afterward at the President’s desire, Senator Gorman was put in active charge of the campaign. The statements are denied at Democratic headquarters. A proposition is under consideration by the Democratic campaign managers to arrange for a joint discussion of the tariff question by Speaker Carlisle and Mr. Blaine. It is proposed to challenge Mr. Blaine to meet Mr. Carlisle and dispute the question in alternate speeches in the twelve principal cities of the Union, six to be named by Mr. Blaine, and six by the Speaker. The opinions of a number of prominent Democratic Congressmen as to the advisability of such a course have been asked, and there is a very general concurrence of approval.

The Union Labor State convention of Michigan met at Detroit, last week, and a row was immediately started by the i 'report of the committee on credentials, ! which recommended that no proxies of any kind fee recognized. Vigorous protests were made by a number of delegates, after which the convention adjourned until 7:30 o’ciock. ; 'Cpon re convening Bartley Breen, candidate for Auditor-General on the —Democrats Greenback ticket, stated that he had credentials to cast the vote of Menominee county, and as this right was contested he would withdraw. He was (followed by fully hnlf the delegates present. The anti-fuskmists then nominated a full -State ticket. The bolting '.taction assembled shortly afterwards in the Merchants' Exchange and indorsed the entire Democrat-Greenback ticket.

SENATE TARIFF BILL.

A Washington special says: There will probably be no Senate tariff bill after all. Mr. Blaine has been heard from, and he wants the issue made distinct between what lie calls protection and free trade. He does not want it clouded by the necessity of defending a Republican bill. These views were not publicly avowed, but there is.good reason for believing they represent Mr. Blaine’s wishes. His opinion is said to have been made known to fee Republican Senators by a mutual friend, and that friend is—reported to be Senator Eugene Hale, of Maine, who'has just returned ito Washington, after a conference; with Me. Blaine in New York. Senator! Hiscoek, of New York, one of those who 1 have been hard at work on the Senate' bill, also had a long talk with Mr. Blaine, on Saturday, and his enthusiasm for carrying through a bill has -suddenly dampened. Senators Allison, Jones, and other active tariff workers, -shut up like clams when asked when tlieir - bill is to be ready, and intimate that they .know nothing about it. Senator Sherman was opposed to a tariff bill from the first; Senator Cullom , opposed it; Senator Mitcheli, of Oregon, opposed it, and the House Republicans have been almost unanimously against it. Ii looks as though Messrs Allison and Aldrich were overbourne and would have to give way to the strong influence against them.

The above is denied by the Republicans of the Senate as “Democratic lies.” -Senator Hiscock save: “There is not the' slighest foundation for the story other than may ex st in the brain of the correspondent who wrote it. You may state, as coming from me, that a tariff-bill will be introduced, will be debated, and will be passed—that is, by the Senate, for, of. course, I know nothing about what the House may do. From time to time these stories have been printed about there being some doubt as to whether a tariff bill would or would not be introduced, and it is quite annoying. There never has been any doubt about what would be done since the Republican caucus was held at the residence of Mr. Evarts. That decision was final. The progress of the bill has been veiy slow, indeed, much slower than any of those who' have undertaken to formulate the bill anticipated; but I can say this, that as f r as we have gone we are well pleased.” , .

A STORM IN CANADA.

A thunder storm passed over eastern Ontario and the whole of Quebec, Thursday and Friday, and was the most terrific ever known there. Hundreds of houses and barns have been burned and blown down. Crops are in many places entirely destroyed. Horses and cattle by the hundreds have, been killed and many people are lost. Reports are justbeginning to come in from the surrounding country and the list of people killed 4^’ r

is rapidly increasing. At a small village called St. Louis de Gonzague, Captain Louis Saue, his wife, son and daughter were sitting in their kitchen when several bolts of lightning struck the house at the same time. The building seemej|Lto collapse and then caught fire. The flood of rain extinguished the fire and those villagers who were not panic stricken dragged, the family from the debris, but it was found that while none had even been cut by the falling house the whole family had been struck by lightning.—Father, wife and son” were" instantly killed. The daughter can not live. A laborer, pvhose name is unknown, employed on the Sauve farm, was also killed j>y a bolt that struck the barn half an hour after the house was struck. At St. Ignace, George L. Lorimer was killed by a tree which had been struck by lightning falling upon him. In St. Hyacinthe, the son of a hotel proprietor, while closing the window of his room, was killed. A report comes from Chaudiere that two lumbermen were swept over the falls while crossing the river. Lightning struck their canoe and they were swept to death in the raging river. The hotel at Smith’s mills was set on fire and it is reported the wife of the proprietor died from fright. From all over Quebec come reports of houses being set on fire and families left destitute, and in a small place called l’Original, the parish church was struck by lightning. The place was full of people at the time, who were praying for protection from the storm. A panic ensued, and many people were seriously injured by being trampled upon. To the superstitious French-Canadian Catholics the storm was frightful. The churches were fairly besieged, and priests in many places held masses at midnight and every hour thereafter during the prevalence of the storm.

POWDERLY ON IMMIGRATION.

General Master Workman Powderlv, of the K. of L., appeared before the Congressional Committee on Immigration Abuses Monday. lie said that the order was in a flourishing condition and numbers about 600,000 members in the United States. He said it excludes from its ranks bankers, lawyers, rum sellers, loafers and professional politicians. A professional politician, he said, was a man who was to be. seen on election day with his hand stretched out for boodle. On the subject of 'imported contract labor, Mr. Powderlv said the system was a most reprehensible one. These foreigners who come here under sudh conditions are grossly immoral, and the influence which ordinary foreigners meet iathis country never reach these competitors with honest labor. They are brought here under promises of lands and great prosperity which they never realize. Describing the condition of workers in the Pennsylvania mines, Mr. Powderlv said it was scarcely describable. In the coal regions the native miners have been driven out of their employment by Hungarians and other foreign workingmen, who Jive in a filthy state. They live on the cheapest kindiof food so that American, miners can not compete with them. Their sleeping quartersare simply disgusting. Their, immorality, the witness acid, was startling. He told of a conversation he had with an abandoned woman, who acted as housekeeper for eight Hungarians. These Hungarians, be said, never learn the English language and herd together until they die dr return to their native country. They never become Americanized. “The universal opinion of Amercan workmen,’’ said Mr. Powderly, “is that men who work akuig the line of the Pennsylvania Railroad—Hungarians and Italians, who are designated only by brass check* bung on their pantaloons—are not desirable American citizens. They bear no names, and their checks are frequently changed to cheat them out -of their wages.” Germans,he found, took pride in learning the English language. He thought no person should be admitted to citizenship until he is able to read and understand the declaration of independence and the constitution of the United States. Of course foreigners should not be kept out of the country until they were able to do this, but our consuls abroad should inquire and report on the character of every man who leaves foreign countries for the United States.

Negotiations Ceased.

Boston Times. The well-known Arlington Hotel in Washington is in reality made up of a number of once-private houses which were made 6ver for hotel purposes. The owner, who is large in his ideas, believes that by waiting long enough anything can be bought. There is a private house which still ijuts into his hotel not yet having been incorporated into it. The other day the hotel proprietor came to the conclusion that it would be a good idea for him to get that house and add it to his caravansary. So he w rote a lettf ras follows: “I desire to add your house to my hotel. State the price and I will forward check.” . »■ ■ ... The owner of the house happened to be a woman, and one wiser than the average of her sex in business affairs. She replied with this: — ——-- —— —- “I do not wish to-sell, but contempiateen larging my back vard. Please name the price of your hotel, and I will remit.” —\ ‘ Negotiations have ceased.

A TRAGEDY OF THE SEA.

The steamer Wieland of the Ham- • burg-American line brought news to New York Friday of a collision off Sable Island, between the Geiser and Thingvalla, of the Thingvalla line, which occurred at 4 o’clock on the mornjng of Geiser sank in five minutes after the collision, and 105 persons were drowned. The Thingvalla was so disabled that she had to put into Halifax after transferring all her passengers ■ ter the” W ieltuid. —— —■ -- L. ,’ :V The Geiser had eighty-six passengers aboard, seventv-two of whom were drowned or killed in the collision, and fourteen were taken first on the Thingvalla and then on the Wieland. The Geiser’s crew numbered fifty. Seventeen were saved and tnirty-three were drowned. Capt. Moller, pf the Geiser, was among those saved. The passengers of Thingvalla transferred to the Wieland numbered 355. The Geiser left New York on Aug. 11, bound for Stettin. The Thingvalla was on her way to New York and was advertised to leave on Aug. 25. A very heavy sea a dense fog were experienced during the night and early on the morning of Aug. 14; it is said an object could not be distinguished fifty feet away by reason of the fog. Stories differ as to where the liability lies, if not wholly due to the fog and heavy sea. The Thingvalla struck the Geiser on the starboard side amidships, close on to 4 o’clock in the morning. The boats then parted, and within five minutes the Geiser sank. The crew of the Thingvalla did all they could to save the Geiser’s crew and passengers, while still in doubt as to whether the Thingvalla was not dangerously disabled; but owing to the heavy sea only thirtyone were saved. No other vessel was near at the time.

The Wieland on her way to New York was one hundred miles way. At 11:30 in the mottling of the 14th the Wieland was sighted. Signs of distress were made by the Thingvalla, and a transfer of the passengers began. The sea was then very heavy, but no mishaps occurred in the transfer of passengers. The Geiser’s whistle was blowing at the time. Second Officer Jorgensen jumped for the Thingvalla when they struck, and was hauled on the Thingvalla’s deck by some of the latter’s crew. One of the Geiser's passengers was picked up with a broken leg. —= __ As soon as the Wieland arrived in the lower bay Captain Moller, of the Geiser, left the steamer on a revenue cutter. He went directly to the office of the agents of the company, where he was ■closeted a few moments with the agents/ He omy left word that the accident was due to the weather, and left without stating his • destination. The rescued crew of the Geiser was taken to the Hotel Denmark oa the arrival of the Wieland. Twenty-four of the passengers and crew of the Geiser, under •charge of Second Officer Jorgensen, arrived at the Hotel Denmark. They were brawny fellows, curiously attired, and but few had either coats or stockings.

The Geiser was one of the four vessls owned by the Thingvalla line, and was considered the crack ship. Most of the passengers were Western people, who were booked by A. Mortensen & Co., the general agents of the line at Chicago. Capt. A. Albers, of the Wieland tells the following story: “At 10 o’clock on the morning of Aug. 14 we passed some wreckage floating in the sea, and suspected that an accident had happened somewhere near us, a litter later we sailed through a sea of oil and sighted a broken boat of the Geiser. About 11:30 we sighted a steamer to the northward, about eight miles off, and seeing she had a flag of distress up we ran down to her. It proved to be the Thingvalla, and -Captain lamb, of that vessel, came to us in a small boat and beggsdous to take off his passengers and those he had saved from the Geiser. He said his own vessel was-so badly injured he expected her to sink at any moment. His forward compartment had been completely carried away from half way from the deck to below the water line. ,We sent out three of our boats and-fee Thingvalla lowered two of hers, and in five hours we had t ransferred the saved passengers and crew of the Geiser and also the four hundred and fifty passengers of the Thingvalla. The sea was very rough at the lithe and. the work of transferring the passengers was very difficult. The immense hole in the Thingvalla’s bow was then patched up as well as possible, and she started for Halifax. The collision, so far as kftown, was caused by the

fog. _ - . T&. The chief officer of each vessel was on deck at the time of the collision. The third officer, Mr. Petersen, told much the same story of the occurrence. He said the fog was very dense. “Tliroug the night rain had fallen at internals. The first we a knew of the Geiser’s approach was when she appeared oh the starboord, right upon us. Both vessels tried to sheer off, being head on, The Geiser was struck opposite the engine rooms amidships. Ihe Geiser being heavily loaded was very low in the water, so that the Thingvalla carried away her own compartment. . The upper part of her bow ran over the decks of the Geiser. The Geiser’s deck-houses were carried away and the state rooms were smashed in and the occupants killed. We beard a bell ring in the the Geiser’s engine room,

f If” but could not tell what' the order was. Officer Petersen was on the deck at the time. He then heard the bell ring again, this time to bock, and the steamer had just commenced to reverse when the Thingvalla struck.!’

TICKET NO. 8.

The National American party met at Washington Wednesday, with about one hundred delegates present. The delegates engaged in a wrangle over details, which finally resulted in the withdrawal of the Illinois, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Wisconsin and several other delegations. The New York and California delegations were nearly the only ones left in the hall. James S. Curtis, of New York, was nominated for President, and Judge James N. Greer for Vice President. The platform favors the abolition of the naturalization laws, demands that no criminals, paupers, or insane persons shall be allowed to emmigrath, and that in order to become an immigrant to the United .States a man .must satisfy the consul at the port from which he wishes to sail that he does not pome under the prohibited classes, and must pay a per capita tax to the consul before sailing. It declares in favor of prohibiting immigration of all persons not in sympathy wit® the government of the United States; against alien ownership of lands; in favor of free technical schools of American children, and in favor of the expenditure of the surplus; for the building of fortifications andi naval vessels. The bolters met afterward and denounced the convention as> not worthy the confidence of the American party.

A Fascinating Horror.

London Troth. There is at the present moment an unfortunate monstrosity hidden away in a back room of the London Hospital in the Whitechapel road. They call it the elephant man. and on one occasion certain members of the medical profession thought fit to advertise this distressing case in the columns of a leadingdaily newspaper. No one would believe what, private excitement that monstrosity has caused. Women beg and plead to be allowed to go and gaze at it. Actresses of the first rank, under the sham pretense of humanity, go and take tea with the elephant man. They are fascinated by this distressful ereature, and they take their female friends, to this uncanny seance.

An English Criticism.

It is the opinion of an Englishman whohas recently visited this country that all Americans are discontented. “The poor,” he says, “are discontented because they cannot enjoy the good things which wealth alone can buy; the wealthy are discontented because they have enjoyed all these good things and find them flat,, stale and unprofitable; while the moderately well-to-do are discontented behave neither the social freedom enjoyedJjvthe poor, nor the consideration paid tcKlie rich.”

A Dog’s Wonderful Feat.

New York Tribune. Y About two weeks ago Henry Goetz: gave James K. Mosser, of Hanover, a large farm dog, which was immediately" shipped by rail to Williamsport, onehundred and forty miles away. Yesterday the dog walked into his former master’s home in a starved and worn-out condition. It was learned that he had left Williamsport a week ago, and had walked the entire distance. How he founa the way back is the wonder ol the story. ~ -
