Young Wales Debts and De-
ficits.
GREAT BRITAIN.

LONDON, Oct. 1.-The Times this morn
ing in leading article eontradicts the
statement recently current that the Queen
has paid the debts Of the Prince of Wales.
At the present time, says the writer, the
debts of the Prince amount to a little
more than one third of his annual income
and include scarcely any bills due longer
than a year. The Princes balance at his
bankers to-day will more than suffice TO
meet every claim. IL is true that the
Prince is unable to live within his income,
but the excess is provided from a fund
which is his private property. The fund
which accumulated during the Princes
minority from the revenues If the Duel y
of Cornwall, is still sufficient to meet tn
yearly deficit in his expenses, though the
time may come when this resource will be
exhausted.
The steamers Dacia and Ambassador,
which arrived to-day, report that the direct
cable parted and was lost in a heavy gale.
They were engaged with the Faraday sew
eral days TO recover the cable, but without
success, and were compelled to return to
Queenstown because short of coal and
provisions The Faraday followed them
and is expected to arrive at any moment.

On this point the Press and Herald

gleefully counting upon Judge Porter
being a weak speaker as compared with
Maynard. They were disappointed, and
at Porter's rejoinder were absolutely
Thunderstorm. Judge Porter gave
Maynard a severe excoriation, and al
though Maynard spoke with his usual
ease and vigor, yet he had weak
cause, lodged the great issues, and
failed ANONYMOUSLY to drive Judge
Porter out of a single position. The

NEW YORK, Oct. IA Times city arti-
Gle says the proposed action of the Board
Of Fire Underwriters to suspend their bus
mess in Chicago until the Fire Commits
sioners at least, show some disposition to
make reform in their department, has
not attracted much attention among
merchants and others in this city who trade
with Chicago. Up to the present
they have not looked on the mat
ter in serious light, and even
if Chicago were left wholly uninsured it
would not, many say, have much influence
with that city. They look more to the
character and solvency of their customers
than TO insurance, which in most cases is
secondary consideration. The prOprietOrs
of wholesale grocery establishments, doing
a large business in Chicago, state that the
trade here had not considered the subject at
all, as the great majority of their customers
were men on whom they could rely 10 pro-
tect themselves. Some of the prominent
jewellers and importers of plated and silver
ware were visited also, and their views on
the whole conceded with those held by the
grocery trade. Mr.. Montgomery, general
agent Of the Board Of Underwriters, says
he has hopes of a just and amicable settle,
ment of the difficulty. Gen. Shalers starts
for Chicago tomorrow or Saturday.

Threatening Fire-A Whole Raft of
Hotels EudauRered

Threatening Fire-A whole Raft Of
Hotels Endangered
SARATOGA, Oct. about IL O'Clock
this morning a fire broke out in the south
wing of tine Grand Hotel. The flames
spread with great rapidity, soon orveloping
the front, and now the entire building, il
is feared, will be destroyed. TIE fremen
are laboring on the Grand Union and Co
lumbar hotels and stables. which are in
great daIfger. Help has been telegraphed
for. There is great excitement.
LATER.-The fire in the Grand Hotel is
under control The Union, Congress, Co
lumbar and National hotels are out of
danger.
InCeDdiarism-PrOV Escape Of
Half the Town.
The opinion prevails that the fire was set
intentionally. That the principal hotels
escaped conflagration is providential, the
wind blowing almost a gale from the south
west, carrying a shower OF burning cinders
on the roofs CT tine Grand Union and Con-
gresS hotels.
At one time about noon they had the
flames pretty well under control, and it was
believed they would be confined to the south
wing, when suddenly fire was seen to burst
from the Grand Union tower, driving the
firemen out of the building and gaining
sudden and irresistible headway At
this time il seemed as though the
destruction of the Grand Union and
Congress Hotels was certain, when
Ell 1t once the wind shifted more to the
southwark, and the flames were thus driven
in the direction Of Congress Park. Several
times fire caught in the roof and windows
of the Congress and Grand Union Hotels,
and was Onlyextingrished by great efforts
in the face of binding heat.
j. seemed at the time as if the destruc-
tion of half the village was inevitable, and
help was sent for from Troy and Whitehall.
Aid came from both and from Balston, and
the fire was prevented from spreading. The
Grand Union Hotel was entirely destroyed.
The building was worth about 100000 and
insured for about 100000. The furniture
Was insured for about S65,0OO.

TOPEKA, Oct. Gov. Osborne yester-
day received dispatches from Capt. Dayton,
Of Arkansas City, commanding the militia,
that siNty-five young braves of Big Hills
band had crossed the Arkansas river below
tine mouth of Salt Fork, on Friday, the
18th ult., and crossed the TT. Sill trail on
Sunday, the 9th, near Skeleton creek,
going west, probably bound for the country
between Mule creek and the supply road,
to operate on the Medicine Lodge settle
ment.
Gen. Pope telegraphs Gov. Osborne that
he has had Intelligence from the same
party. 1t consists of forty-tmee Indians.
Efforts are being made to induce them TO
return to their reservation.
Capt. Collins militia discovered the
dead bodies of FIVE buffalo hunters from
Reno i'm the southwest part of Clark county.
They were all scalped and their horses
killed. Indians were fourteen miles
away, but owing to a lack of supplies and
ammunition, Capt. Collins did not pursue
them. The hunters referred to were killed
on the 9th of August last. 1t is believed
an alliance is meditated between the
young Osages and the Cheyennes and Co
manches, who are known to be in the south
part of Clark county.
