INCENDIARISM.
A PIOI 10 Destroy a City-Twenty-six Store
Burned in Night.


The Eau Claire Mich Free Press of May d says:-
"Iast Thursday evening commenced the first OF
two of the most extensive c0nfagratiOns that ever
occurred in this place. and probably the work OF
incendiaries, their object being evidently TO burn
the city The ire broke out IN one of the unoCCupied
stOrer@Oms Of Reeds Block, and rapidly did il
burn as TO lap up all the wooden buildings-includ-
ing Reeds residence-On the entire square, with the
execution of Drs. Galloway ana Langre Office, and
two barns that situated on the side oi the
block For a long time IL seemed az though the
object Of the fire would be accomplished, as il finally
crossed Eau Claire to Dr. SINNERS drug store
and threatened to sweep unObstructed through a
large section OF wooden buildings and no safe con
lecture could be formed OF the final arrest OF the
names. Had il not been for the persistent and uIl-
Welding efforts OF the citizens and river bows who
Tonght the fire till their clothes were scorched and
faces blisered, there might have been no occasion
for the next attempt made two days later WhiCh,we
are sorry to say proved much more extensive than
did the fire of Thursday evening"
"a repetition Of the previous attempt OF the incen-
diaries TO burn the town was deeply feared by many
Of our citizens who had but to wait till Saturday
evening when the fears which they had entertained
were fTlly realized. AT about II 45 O'Clock on the
evening OF the 22d the fire alarm was sounded, and
the fire was found to emanate from the Chandler
House barn, on Kelsey street, locality which inn
mediatelV plaCed most OF the business houses on
RarstoW street in imminent danger of being burned
and rendered those in the immediate vicinity doubly
certain of being destroyed
taTeams and men were busy all over the CITY haul
ing goods out Of reach OF the fire, while many goods
were carried across the Eau Claire bridge TO the
North Side for safety Considerable stealing was in
dulRed in and in the heat OF excitement many were
seen with armfuls of goods making for the direction
of the suburbs A guard was established and posted
on the different roads and bridges leading out of
town and dozen arrests were made during the
night though the most OF those arrested were found
10 possess articles Of pundeT 0f only Jinng value"

Special Despatch 10 The Evening Telooraph
WAsHINGToN, June "A movement was
started among the Southerners residing here to
decorate the graves of the Confederate dead
buried at Arlington, the day to be set apart as
was done in the case of Union soldiers last
Saturday. DIR. Garnett, a leading Southern sym-
pathizer during the Rebellion, is out in a card
this morning, stating that, after inquiry, he is
satisfied that such demonstration would not be
permitted by the Government Garnett saws
that the interference of marines with persons
who attempted to decorate the Confederate
graves last Saturday was fully countenanced by
both President Grant and Secretary Borie.
At the White House.
There was an unusually large crowd at the
White House to-day, composed OF all sorts of
persons. They were drawn together by the an
nouncement that the President would leave to.
morrow for Annapolis, and shortly after for
West Point. Everybody seemed anxious to
have their little business with the Executive
liked before his departure. Among those who
called was the Commander of the Grand Army
OF the Republic, but the President sent word
that he was too busy to see him. During the
greater part of the morning he was closeted
with Attorney-G Hoar.
Spain and the United States.
1t is ascertained in semi-oflicial circles that
tle statement made by Secretary of Legation
Perry that war was imminent between the United
States and Spain in 1868 is without foundation,
and also that Spain was cooperating with Napo-
leon for the success of the Confederacy. The
misfortune of the statement is that at the date
mentioned the downfall of the Confederacy was
conceded by every enlightened politician in
Europe, and the studied policy of non-interfe-
renc9 was adopted.

By Atlantic Cable
LONDON, June 2-The proceedings OF the
House of Commons, last evening, in regard to
Canada and other British colonies in North
America, were very interesting. Mr.. Verney in
quired what the policy Of the Government
would be towards the American colonies?
Mr.. Mcneil replied, and, while declining to
enter on the colonial policy of the Government,
intmated that part of that policy was to throw
the cost Of self-defense on each colony. Mea-
sures to that end had been partially taken, and
would be extended next year. He had no doubt
that the arrangement for the cession of the
Hudson Bay Companys territory would receive
the ratification of the Canadian Government.
The question was not one of purchase only,
but also of development, of colonization and
civilization, which had hitherto been virtually
closed. If the scheme was successful, the Do
minion would be able to extend from the Allan
tic to the Pacific. He believed all the interests
of British Columbia lay in annexation with
Canada and every facility would be given to
forward them.
Mr.. Northcote thought the Canadians were
better able to decide for themselves Than to act
on the advice of the Government and he be-
lieyed the question would soon be satisfactorily
settled.
Mr.. Bury regarded Canada as the future high
way to the Indies and the East and ridiculed
annexation to the United States Canada by
such course had everything to lose and nothing
to gain.
Mr.. Adderly regarded The arrangements as
eminently satisfactory. On principle, he gene
rally disapproved the system OF government
guarantees vet he would vote in favor OF this.
