Der OF lumber buyers from abroad have
been in the city, and it is estimated that
since Monday fully 20.O00.O0O feet has

a transaction of 2,5O0.0O0 to Eas ern

The Northwestern Lumberman says !:
Advices received from Menominee,
Mich, represent the logging situation
upon that stream as very discouraging.
The water in the main river is lower
than at any time last season, and 10
driving is being done except upon some
OF the tributary streams. Nearly one
third of the logs are from 125 to $50 miles
from the mills, aud il is regarded us prac-
ticaily impossible to move them without
heavy rains. The operators are building
dams Wherever they will do any good.

European Notes.

From the special London telegrams to
the Chicago lnter-Ocean we CLEAN the
following reports from Europe in regard
10 the situation i'm that country:
While The German government still
declares that is anxious to intervene,
automatically. to avert Il resort to arms
on the part of England, the German
Imperial Cabinet lis secretly making
all preparations for war.
: A col respondent at St. Petersburg tel.
egraphs that he is informed OIL the high
est authority, that the Car has decided
that If war with England follows. he
will pass the summer at Tsarskoe Seio,
where is the imperial palace founded by
Peter the Great. II peace Is firmly estab-
lished the Car will intrust the reins OF
government to the Czarowitz for year
and half, during which time he will
travel throughout Europe.
The Intelligence i'm regard to the mill
tary situation is less encouraging. A
report is current in COnstantinOple that
$4,000 Mussulman, presumably in the
Balkan districts have armed themselves
with cannon and rifles left behind by
Suleiman Pasha at the time of his retreat,
and attacked tile Russians. 1t is said
the Russians have lost 800 men and thir-
teen officers, and have asked for rein
forcements from Adrianople.
The Agenoe Russo confirms the report
that proposition for the simultaneous
Withdrawal of the British fleet and Rus.
sian forces from the vicinity of COnstan
tinople have been accepted in principle
AMI adds that negotiations continue rel
ative to withdrawal and to preliminary
conference TO settle the programme o
the congress.
The Journal de st. Petersburg pub
fishes an article which, while expressing
a belief that the congress will soon as
semble, says this alone will not consti
tute guarantee of peace. The Journa
considers it necessary that frank ant
exhaustive exchange OF views between
Cabinets should proceed the congress
The article concludes as follows" If til,
British Cabinet really desires peace, and
at the same time expects greater advan
taees for England by intimidating Russi,
it is playing dangerous game which viii
not lead to peace, but to war"

ATerrif,c storla.

A special telegram to the Chicago Inter
Ocean from Galesburg, H.. says that city
city visited at o'clock last Sunday sve-
ming by a terrible rain and hail storm.
The rain fell in torrents from until 7:3O
when hailstones about the size of filberts
fell. These soon increased to the size OF
a hens egg, and covered the ground TO
the depth of two or three inches, 'phe
storm then abated for few minutes
when the sky, which hitherto had been
green, changed to an orange or light
yellow. and hailstones fell which were so
heavy that were buried In the ground.
One was dug up which was buried FIVE
inches. and which measured seven and
one quarter inches in circumference one
way and eight and one-half inches the
other way. The stone was measured by
three business men, and their statement
is reliable. Stones measuring 3x21a
inches were as common as smaller ones.
1t is Impossible to estimate the damages
at this early hour. The fruit is damaged
to great extent, the trees being strip.
ped Of their small branches. Five photo
graphers skylights were every pane
broken. and the rain flooded the build
ings. Three OF these skylights were new
and were as good as money could make
them. The Pacific express which reach
here ut 5:l5, had a number of windows
broken,
The same storm passed over Iowa early
in the day doing great damage and re-
suiting in the loss of. lite. At Storm
Lake six persons were reported killed
and number wounded, a portion OF
Wall Lake is reported rs being COM
pietely destroyed.
AT other places in Iowa aud Illinois it
was equally destructive, destroying lite
and property. Horses, cattle and human
beings were whirled through the air.

township is doing remarkably well.
Each homesteader or settler, during the

The River and Harbor Bill.

The House passed the river and IiarbOr
bill last Monday under suspension of the
rules, The vote stood l66 in favor and
66 members voted against it, but about
half of them were Indifferent as to its
passage. The other halt opposed it Bit
terly, and were led by CCx, Morrison.
Springer. Hewitt, iClymer, McMahon.
Finley and Southard. This cOrpOrals
guard at first attempted tn adjourn so as
10 avoid a vote, and although they were
not able 10 accomplish their purpose
they succeeded in making wild scene
i'm the House. When Mr.. Turner. OF
kentucky, voted he said: My district
receives nothing and never has received
anything. so 1 vote against the bill"
This was the ground of all the opposition
that was developed. After the bill was
passed Cox offered protest, signed by
himself and about 30 others of the House
which Randall trieo to help him. get in
but the majority prevented it being read
by adjourning. The details OF the bill
as passed arefnot given, but We presume
it passed as reported by the committee
which gave Cheboygan $4,000. We
hope the bill will be promptly passed by
the Senate so that the contracts can bt

A special telegram to the Detroit Pos

last Tuesday, says there is no probability
of the bill passing the Senate in is pres

The bill, as it now stands, is $2:27S,O0(

The Prancing steed and the Donke

The Prancing Stced and the Donkey
The fable writer of the New York
World, gets off good thing at Senator
Howe over his recent speech, attacking
the President. 1t represents Senator
Conkling as the 'prancing steed" and
Howe as the "donkey" Here it is.
A prancing steed having come to a
newly frozen stream over which he de-
sired to cross, and being apprehensive
that the ice would not support him, said
to donkey, who was i'm his company,
''My honorable friend, do you bat lead
the way and will follow you with tile
greatest effort of my life.r The flattered
donkey thereup0n boldly essayed the
passage, but hardly had he set hoOf upon
the treacherous surface than it gave way
and plunged him into the waters. Turn
ing to his companion, the unhappy ami
NAL exclaimed, Tell me pray you, how
I am to extricate myself from this sad
plight" "Howe?" replied the prancing
steed, who was putting away an undeliv-
cred Grafton in pigeon hole; "why, walk
out on your ear of course" Ia
