command the commerce of both Hamburg and
Bremen. With a prophetic vision of a not Inn
impossible battle of Dorking in the future,
Germany is now working up Its claim to this
island on the'plea OF former possession and of
identity Of language and nationality.

these petroleum. reoeptacles would be over
turned, the spreading liquid would be ignited,
and the building would soon be In flames. 1t
was thus that the Tuileries, the Palals Royal,
the Hotel de- Vile, the Palace of the Le-
gion Of Honor, and other public edidces
of note were set on fire. Another
