Investigation into the Causes Of tho
War with Prussia.
PARIS, October 20.-An official in.
auiry is about to be made by the Gov.
ernment into the actions of the Olivere
and Paliko Cabinets, which are believed
to have provoked or accelerated the late
disastrous war with Germany. 1t is
said officially that the investigation will
commence without delay and will be
continued by a supreme council OF war
with the assistance, probably, Of civil
commission to be appointed by the Gov
ernment. The entire history of the
campaign will be critically discussed
and the actions OF Emile Olivere, Count
Paliko and their ministerial colleagues
at the commencement Of the imbroglio
with Prussia will be Investigated. The
public feeling has been aroused to q
high pitch OF excitement over the com.
ing investigation. which, it is popularity
believed, will develope facts showing
that the war from which the country
has but lately issued was the result in 3

been avoided without sacrificing the

Tho Horse Disease.

BUFFALO, N. Y.-October 20
The horse disease which has
lately prevailed at Toronto, and
other Canadian towns, has broken
out among the horses here, having, it is
conjectured, been brought across by the
bor.es driven by the Governor-Genersl
of Canada on bis late visit to Black
Rock. Nearly all the horses in the llv
ery stables throughout this city are
affected. The Street Railway Com,
pany has fully one-hslf Of its horses of
work and is running fewer cars than
usual. The symptoms of the disease
are q running at the nose and eyes, &C.
companied by a severe cough. The dis
ease has not proved fatal in any case,
however, but great care is necessary to
ineure recovery.

Eject or the Sunday Liquor Law.

Eject or the Sunday Liquor Law
CHICAGO, October 20.-The Sunday
saloon closing ordinance went into effect
to-day, for the first time and was gen.
orally observed, most Of the saloons and
bars closing entirely. Some, however
while closing the front doors and draw
ing the curtains, sold TO those who
asked, and q few kept open doors and
defied the law. The whisky sellers,
who are mostly Irishmen, complied
with the order strictly, and many ex
pressed themselves in favor OF it, eut
the German beer saloon keepers are
very indignant. The large saloon under
the Briggs House was open and filled
with thirsty drinkers, while crowds
blocked up the sidewalk looking on.
Business was kept up till all the beer
had been sold. Over fifty barrels Of beer
were sold. A policeman came in and
demanded to see the license to get the
names of the keepers, but was refused
and went away.
Mr.. Hessing, proprietor OF the Stats
Zeitunq, an influential German Republ-
can pa per, came in and told the keeper
10 20 on with his business, and II he
was fined to take it to the Supreme
Court. He said that the Mayor would
not dare take away the sellers license
on account of the effect on the coming
election. The Stats Zcitung had an
editorial this morning to tho same
effect, advising the Germans to ignore
theylaw The Mayor was very backward
in ordering the enforcement OF the or
dinance. stating that it could not be
done, but having undertaken it, it is
understood that he intends to carry it
through If he has to call out the mil
itia. Public sentiment is in favor OF
the law. Policemen have bought
drinks at the places found open in order
to testify against the sellers at the Po-
lice Court to morrow. The streets have
been unusually quiet, showing the good
effect OF tho law.
Corner Stone to be Laid.
The corner stone Of the fire monu-
ment, composed Of safes taken from the
ruins of the great fire, will be laid in
Central Park at high noon on Wednes.
