The .financial situation in London is steadily improving, although no new investments are being made. The bank rate has dropped from 4 to 3 per cent, and money is abundant.

The chaos of political parties at present prevailing in Germany, is unprecedented in history. More than twenty political parties are striving for supremacy at present. The large land owners, the small peasant proprietors, the merchants, the tradesman, the mechanics, the laborers, the petty officials, the teachers, all and everyone are dissatisfied and they .all look for salvatbn from some political party' of their own. There are tho conservatives, mostly noblemen and their retainers, who see their only salvation in absolute monarchy and in protection of the German grain products. They are wroth with the Emperor and Caprivi on account of the commercial treaties with Austria and Italy, which admitted the products of those countries at a reduced rate of duty. AGAINST THE KAISER.

The German Army Bill Defeated. The returns from th German elections of Thursday received at Berlin comein slowly from the outlying provinces. The Socialists have developed unexpected strength. Their gains are believed to bo enormous. Their train over 1890 in Berlin is 30,000, and not a single candidate pledged to support the army bill has been returned from that city. The prospects of a Government majority appear to be vanishing. Roughly speaking, the Socialist vote shows a great in-, crease every where. The Radical vote has diminished i heavily, chiefly, it would seem, because the better class of the Radical party voted for the anti-Semitic candidates. Not ten per cent, of the votes cast in Berlin were given in favor of the army bill. Seldom has the city spoken in such emphatic tones. The provincial returns appear to be equally emphatic in the same direction.

The meeting declared its position in a series of resolutions, in which the Supreme Lodge,vhich meets in Washington in June, is asked to rescind the order. The sentiment of tho delegates is in favor of seceding and forming an independent order in the event that the Supreme Lodge refuses to comply with the request preferred. A small (ire broke out in the basement underneath Fred Goetz's furniture store at Torre Haute, and after the iron grating had boon torn up it was speedily extinguished with a dash or two of water. Kight iiremen followed their chief into the basement to make sure that the lire was extinguished, and while there they were overcome by the iieat and gas. Chief Kennedy was the first to be prostrated, but he managed to make his way out. Finding his men still within he went to their assistance, and he succeeded in carrying out four of the firemen before he was ugain prostrated. Other Iiremen then rushed into the collar, some of them also to fall victims to the fumes, and before the rescue was completed eighteen men had to be carried out. McClollan. Falvey and Anderson were dangerously prostrated, but the others speedily revived upon reaching the open air. Fireman Ostorloo also narrowly escaped with his life. A peculiar effect of the prostration lay in the fact that the limbs of all the victims were stiffened as if in death, while their bodies from the waist up were as limp as if boneless. The loss by the lire did uot exceed $70:. but it narrowly escaped being a frightful casualty.

INDIANA'S INFAMY. Pugnacious Pugilists Punish, Pummel and Pound. Koby's Great Aren:i Result or McHagh'a Bill Gov, Matthew Indignant. Ontheaddiy of last February, at Indianapolis, Senator Mcflugh introduced and passed a bill which provided that gymnastic exhibitions and athletic contests of science and skill be allowed within the State. It remained for Dominic O'Malley, 0 New Orleans to discover that this law had been passed four months before the sheriff of Lako county became awtfre of the fact. Three men besides O'Maliey were taken into the scheme, and a working capital of $50,000 was raised in an hour, and O Malley began operations. Three acres of property were bought at a point 100 yards south of the line which divides Indiana from 111nois, and at a juncture where three railroads meets, the Haitimore & Ohio, the Pennsylvania and the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern. In addition to the railroad accommodation, tho club will have three electric lines and boat service on the iai- e. It is estimated that 10,0(0 people par hour can be landed a the doors. Thirteen miles from tho city and landing, 300 feet from the club's building, midway between the tracks of th6 two last-named corporations, a monsteramphltheater has been built. Incomplete as yet, when finished tho arena will seat IS,400 people comfortably, or more than the combined capacity of the Coney Island. Crescent City, Olympic and California athletic clubs. Tho arena is lighted by twenty-five arc lamps and a reserve method of illumination is supplied by fifty one-gallon kerosene lamps. The power for the electric lights is supplied by a plant owned by the club. Monday night tho first contest of a aeries at the grounds, which are known a9 the Columbian Athletic Club, took place between Goddard and Kennedy, which resulted in the defeat of Kennedy in two rounds. Within twenty minutes after Goddard and Kennedy had left the ring a gong was rung fr the main event, the tight between Costello and Woods, which was continued through fifty-seven rounds and declared a draw. Over 18,000 people were present. The Illinois Central ran five special trains from Chicago at 7:30 p.m., followed by trains every ten minutes. Every train was loaded to the brakes. Gov. Matthews was seen at Indianapolis by a Sentinel reporter and expressed his indignation and determination to break up the Columbian Athletic Club enterprise. He had already issued special instructions to the officials of Lake county. Growing warm Gov. Matthews said: "'The men of the Columbian Club can make nothing else out of tho exhibitions at their club house than prize fights, and 1 am sure the old law governing prize fights can reach them. I do not th nk that the new law repeals the old one, and it is a question of constitutionality that will be tested. If the officers of Latco county do not act in the premises and act promptly I have attorneys in this city who will take up the matter and right the projectors of the club to tho end. The people of the Stane do not wish this infamous disgrace in their borders and I do not propose to stand idly by and see the laws trampled upon in such a way." Martin Costello and .BUly Woods, tho two prize lighters, and George Sllor, the referee, were arrested at Eobey and brought to Crown Point, Tuesday, and each gave bail in the sum of $1,000 to appear at the nest term of the Circuit Court, which will not convene until Sept. 4. Sheriff Frederick says that he will bo on hand at all tho fights given at Eobey. and arrest all principals and others partfcipating in the sport. Ho thinks that ha took the right course on this occasion, as under the law, he. did not believe that he could stop the fight.

Instantly cries of "hang himl "kill him!" "shoot him!" wore heard throughout the hall. Foreman Warner, of the jury, jumped upon a chair and urged t he excited people to commit no violence, but it was only hy t he most vehement protests, accompanied by prompt action on the part of ihe police, that peace was maintained.
