The London Press Hold tho Fire De-

the Extent OF the CoDfiagration.
LONDON, November IL.
All the London morning papers express
their deepest sympathy for the sufferers by
the conhagration in Boston. They attribute
the great disaster to the bad management of
the fire department and the police and num-
cIpal authorities of that city. The Standard
says: 'sThe Boston fire is scandalous out
rage on civilization, and an evidence of most
inefficient city government" By way of show.
ing the superiority, In case like that of the
Boston fire, Of small, well established fire
department over large but badly managed
oae, it compares the small London fire brl-
gade, and the narrow and crooked streets of
the City of London, where fires seldom get
beyond the building wherein they originate,
to the thousands Of undsclplined hremen,
huge granite structures and open places In Bos-
ton. There, 1t says, the best portion Of the city
was destroyed for want of good management
to prevent the progress of the flames, which
were finally stopped by gunpowder; and this
wretched business was entrusted TO volunteer
citizens Instead of skilled operators. 1t is be-
lieved here that the amount of insurance in
the London companies upon property 10 The
burnt district of Boston Is two million five
hundred thousand dollars. A commission is
to be sent to Boston by the London compa-
nles to make an investigation Of the facts In
relation to the origin and progress of the con-

rens County by about 1900 majority. A small

county give the following result: White soA,
colored s52, total 656. Grant and Wilson ss2,
Greeley and Brown 276; Grants majority log.
Little Rtyer precinct Will make no return, as
the writ Of election was not served there IN
time. The other two precincts will probably
reduce the Grant majority In this county to
about rs. This is rather bad showing, IN
view of the fact that Horny gave a Democratic
majority in 1858 Of nearly TOO. but 1t was the
universal conclusion among the whites In this
county that there was no hope, and hence the
lsthargy. No one seemed TO take an interest
In the election, not even those who had Just
been elected themselves to State and county

From The State House.

BosToN, Feb. 3.
The house seems to have become gconfirmed
by its experience with the railroad bill in hold
ing long sessions. Nearly half the seats in the
hall were empty, but the members who were
present made up for the absence OF the others
by sitting nearly three hours, and disposng of
nearly all the unfinished business before it. Not
very much progress resulted however, from the
debates, since several OF the unimportaut bills
were recommitted, among them the bill 10 au-
thOrze the National insurance company to issue
preferred stock, it being thought best to await
the report Of a general insurance law. The bill
relative 10 the appointment of tcstamentary
guardians; and the bill to incorporate the View
mouth savings bank, were also recommitted
The senate bills to incorporate the Peoples club
of Worcester, and change the name of the Ger
man United Evangelical Lutheran and Reformed
Society, were laid on the table.
The railroad bill! came up to be cugrosscd
and the yeas and nays were ordered. Without
taking the vote the house adjourned until Mon
day.
The bill concerning the appointment of in
speciors Of the state prison, providing that the
governor may re-appont members of the board
was refused a third reading
In the senate petition was introduced, asking
for the Incorporation of the bingham public
library; also petitions in aid of the Highland
and Middlesex railroads to the south end. The
orders of the day took their regular course,
with the exception of bills to authorize the Ar
lington street church to convey real estate, and
IN incOrnorate the citv oft Ecbhn ro which NOV,
passed over, A constitutional amendment was
reported, terminating the legislative sessions on
the last Saturday of April, yearly.

liquor, preparations possessing the medicinal
virtues of the ost popular and ecaeous of all vegcta-
BILE tonics and aeratives-Hosetters Stomach Bitters
The cGncocters of these "loca bitters' are, in the

The fame of Hostetters Btters saheatl-preserving

There is before the legislature petition which
asks to have part of the town of Randolph set
off and organized as new town. 1t may or may
not be that the petition is supported by reasons
which can justify the legislature in granting ii;
but we suspect that it is not well supported by
good reasons, for those who act for the petition
ers, distrusting the merits of their case have en-
listed the lobby in its behalf This movement
on their part ought to bring the petition TO el7s''
The town of Randolph can remain as it is si.n
out detrimeut TO any public interest; b9' -
who seek to influence legislation by po''-',
paid lobby, attack the public Tel'' ~,
should invariably be made to p,u -

,ho,, wbo, they feel that this is
certain they will cease 10 encourage the lobby,
and use only such methods as are appropriate
and bonorable. Therefore, it will be safe,
Wholesome. and every way good for the com
monweaItb in the present case, TO teach those
concerned lesson by rejecting this petition for
a new town.
The lobby has been in disconsolate condi-
tion since the beginning of the session: but its
veteran operators have contrivcd to get employ
meut in two or three cases. We hea: that they
have been "retained" to work at the state house
to secure the abolition of ''head money" now
collected of shipping companies engaged in
immigrants TO Massachusetts, to
defeat the general railroad law in the senate,
and to help the Randolph petitioners for a dvi-
sion of that town.
