1 RUSSIA PREPARING FOR GREAT WAR. lias a Large Army Ready to Descend n Japan International Prison Congress Opens in Paris Cubans Defeated Foreign Notes. Tacoma. Wash., July :. The Norwegian steamer Oscar II., which arrived yesterday, from Vladivostock, Siberia, brings news that the indications are good for another Oriental war. Capt. Sanderson of the steamer says Russia has massed 80,000 men at Vladivostock, and it Is believed in Siberia preparations are being made for an advance on Japan. The massing of these ships and troops at Vladivostock has been secretly done by Russia, unusual precautions having been taken to prevent the spread of any intelligence regarding the actual force it has quartered there. What Russia's designs are cannot of course be told, and they are purely conjectural, but it is clear if it builds a railway line south from Vladivostock to the Yellow Sea the intention is to obtain an open port and hold it at all hazards. International l'rlson Congress. Paris, July 1. President Faure opened the International Prison CotiLgress KIDNAPING OF THE At Buffalo, N. Y., Ootavus C. Cottle, 50 years old, head of one of the oldest and best known families in this city, was found Wednesday morning loaded with chains in the cellar of a vacant house at 36 Byrnes street. He had been kidnapped and held for ransom right in the heart of the city and in broad daylight. A well-dressed stranger appeared at Mr. Cottle's residence early Monday morning, saying he wanted to make a deal with Mr. Cottle about a piece of property which he owned on Chenango street. He asked Mr. Cottle to drive there with him at once and Mr. Cottle got into the buggy. At 36 Baynes street, in the center of the block between West Ferry and Breckinridge, there is an unoccupied cottage. Arriving there Mr. Cottle was invited to go in and show the place to the stranger. As he stepped inside the door the stranger and a confederate seized and gagged him. After an hour or two they released him so that his right hand was free, and producing pen and paper ordered him to write a note to his wife saying that he had been arrested in Fort Erie under an assumed name for a serious crime, and the note closed with the earnest admonition to his wife to give the bearer $2,500, as it was absolutely necessary that he have that sum at once. One of the men then departed, leaving the other in charge of the prisoner. He went to the Cottle house and saw Mrs. Cottle, who was about to give him the money when her eldest son chanced to come In. He advised her not to give up the money, so she told the man to call later in the day, and in the meantime the matter was reported to the police. They were unable to make any headway with it, however. The man did not return to the Cottle house. The other man remained with Mr. Cottle until Tuesday night and pro yesterday in the great amphitheater of the new Sorbonne.

TWO FIREMEN KILLED.

Fall with the Floors of a Burning Building. Worcester, Mass., July 1. A fire in the rag shop of the Hubeley Manufactur ng company in Brackett court early yesterday morning caused the death of two firemen and injured eight others, and caused a finacial loss of about $4,000. The dead: BRIGHAM, W. F., 34, married. BOYLE, LIEUT. J. J., 36, single. The injured: Avery, Capt. W. N. Atwood, E. C. Bassford, F. H. Casey, John P. Coleman, George S., Deputy Chief Engineer. Chamberlain, C. E, Ham, Henry H. Robinson, R. D. The victims belonged to Hose No. 4 and Hose No. 9. Hose No. 4 was one of the first pieces of apparatus to reach the fire, and attached it in the top story. Without warning the floor collapsed, carrying the two floors underneath it into the cellar. The men went down with it and were buried under the ruins and bales of rags. Lieut. Boyle's back was broken under the crush of the timbers and Brigham was smothered under the piles of rags. The rest of the men escaped with their lives, but it took the rescuing party three hours to get to them and remove them from the debris. BUFFALO LAWYER. vided him with water and crackers. Alarmed at the failure of his partner to appear he disappeared from the house. A policeman passing the house heard groans, and breaking in the door of the house, made an investigation. No arrests have been made, but the police have a good description of the men. Mr. Cottle is a man of commanding and distinguished appearance, and is not lacking in physical courage. He said the first he knew of the man who acted as a decoy was a letter which he received last Saturday, in which the writer informed him that he would call on him some time Monday in regard to the real estate transaction. The letter was couched in a businesslike way, and Mr. Cottle had no suspicions. Indeed, until the men jumped upon him after he had entered the Baynes street house he did not suspect anything. Mr. Cottle has furnished to the police a fair description of the men, but they were both of the conventional type and the police have gained no ground at all. Later developments show that the leader in the plot to kidnap Mr. Cottle was John C. Emery, once a prominent citizen of Buffalo. Some years ago Emery, who was living in Cincinnati, was arrested for violation of the postallaws. He was tried, convicted and sentenced to a long term in the penitentiary, but escaped and made his way to Canada. After a time he opened negotiations with Mr. Cottle, who wae an old friend of his, for securing a pardon from the Governor of Ohio. Mr. Cottle promised to do what he could for him, and Emery, it is alleged, paid over $17,000. Cottle did not get him a pardon, and Emery demanded the return of the money, which, it is said, was refused. It appears that Emery then obtained a confederate and planned the kidnaping. It is also believed, $5,000 was actually paid to Emery. HOW THEY STAND. Percentage of the Clubs in the National League

THE TRADE REYIEW.

BUSINESS IN A FAIRLY PROSPEROUS CONDIOION. Speculative Fever Causes an Advance In the Wool Market The ComiBS Crop an Element of Uncertainty Failures, for the Last Half Year. R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: "Business is better, although the crop outlook, affecting prospects beyond the near future, is a little less distincL There is more ground for doubt about winter wheat and cotton than a week ago, and thrashing receipts are comparatively low, although the prospects for spring wheat are exceedingly good. The price, a quarter of a cent lower for the week, is beyond mistake too low if the latest impressions of Injury to winter wheat are correct. Receipts for the week are relatively small, but for four weeks have been 5,166,414 bushels, against 5,794,528 last year, while Atlantic exports, flour included, have been for four weeks, 4,912,729, against 7,444,002 bushels last year. Corn has declined a fraction and pork is steady. "Cotton has fallen 3-16 to 7 cents In spite of reports of se-!ous injury by rains in Texas and Louisiana. Speculation has even spread to the wool market, and with an advance of about 10 cents in prices, the sales have been the largest ever known for any week 4,017,900 pounds. In four weeks of June sales have been 16,132,465 domestic and 17,451,500 pounds foreign, while in 1892 they were 13,340,750 domestic and 10,427,500 foreign. A growing belief that the domestic clip is short and an idea that the coming London sales, beginning July 2, will show higher prices, have been more potent than a little increase in the manufacturing demand, and the price has risen at all markets. "Copper has been strengthened by a large sale of Calumet and Hecla for export at 10 cents, which is now quoted, while tin is slow at $14.05, and lead at $3.27. iron still advances. "The half yearly report of failures next week will include about 6,900, against 7,039 for the first half of last year, and assets of about $88,000,000, against $101,578,152 last year. But for the Cordage concern, the aggregate would be nearly 23 per cent less than last year, and manufacturing liabilities will be about $40,000,000, against $41,376,120 last year, and trading $45,000,000, against $52,343,978 last year, while miscellaneous liabilities were only $2,700,000, against $7,S56,C72 last year. Failures for the past week have been 256 in the United States, against 214 last year, and twenty-two In Canada against thirtyfive last year." PROF. T. H. HUXLEY DEAD. The Great- Scientist's Ufa Comes to a Close Saturday Afternoon. Prof. Huxley is dead at London. The close of the great scientist's life came at 8:45 o'clock Saturday. Since early in the morning he had been sinking gradually during the first part of the day, but at noon the decline was very rapid and then it was known that PROF. HUXLEY, he could not survive more than a few hours. Some days ago the great man apparently rallied and the belief was entertained that possibly he might escape the dread results experienced today, but his age and the nature of his sickness combined to sap him of vitality until the case had to be regarded as hopeless.
