city officials are strainng every point and
hope to be able to weather the storm without
appealing to the outside world, venture the
prediction that within ten days they will be
forced to make appeal. The Howard Asso-
citation is in the same dilemma 1t is at the
great expense of over $500 day which is
hourly increasing with less than $4,000 in
the treasury.
ST. PAUL, August 1O.-A special party Of
Cal'adian officers have arrived here from All
inspection Of the country north Of lake Supe-
| rlOr. The country traversed was of wild
and barren nature, worthless for settlement
but having rich undeveloped silver mines.
lhe officers bring reports OF the exceedingly
Indifferent construction Of the Canada Pacific
Railroad. In the region through which they
passed on two sections of the road which
passes through dense standing timber and
almost impe,ietrable country, the grading is
completed after blasting through 5000 cubic
leetL ct &EaAite,- ether sections to bt.
graded must be blasted through solid granite
tor IL great distance and will cost two millions
each. About two thousand men are now at
work on the line. '
NEW YORK, Aug. lO.-Thc Times of to-day
says: "Thickening rumors Of a rupture be-
lween Russia and Germany, and mysterious
hints at the connection between the rather

ICY and certain necessities in his foreign pol
icy cannot but attract the attention OF the
Germans. The great avowed goal Of all Of
B'snlarck's exertiOn is not complete until the
German part of Austria, comprising MOravia,
Styra, Austria Proper, Tyrol and lllyria is
freed from aA unnatural union with Magyar
and Sclavic provinces, and incorporated with
Germany, but there is only one way in which
this can be done, namely: 10y moving the
centre of the Austrian Empire from Vienna
to Buda Or Pesth, and transforming Austria
| into a great Sclavc power, with access to the
Black and -Egan seas. That Bismarck really
entertains such ideas is evident, and in recent
excited conversation with Littsanbe, Rou-
manian Ambassador, he made it more alpar-
eht wleL lie plainly declared if Rounlania
| did not fulfill the treaty Of Berlin with re-
spect to the emancipation OF the Jews her
Independence would not be recognized, but

The Times prints three columns Of
comparative labor statistic OF this country and
Europe says in every case it will be found
| that the American labOrer is paid better and
| can maintain himself and family at less cost
| than the European workman in a similar
| branch of industry; but it is interesting to
compare the condition of different natiolali-
ties as to the matter of material, propriety,
comfort and contentment. The English
workman seems to have the best oppoltuni-
ties for bettering himself, but strikes and tip
pling are fatal drawbacks to his advancement.
In France and Belgium, in spite Of low
| wages. and scanty means OF sustenencc, the
! laboring people are thrifty aud contentcd.
In Germany the condition of the working
! people is most deplorable ; destituton All dis
| pair appearto stare them in the free. Cuii-
pared with the condition Of other people
that Of American laborins men would seem
to indicate discomfort as one of their own
natural traits.
CINCINNATI. August lO.-AIrs. Caroline
FlOwnz, wife Of Auton Florenz. of Vienna.
Austria, who had elopcd from tina, city witt,
one Nathan Shirk, and whose abandonment
| and effort at suicide was reported. died at ;
| o'clock to-day. The case is "a most singular
one. She shot herself in the head on June
| IA, the ball. weighing 30 grains, entering her
| brain. After being severed into four pieces,
probably by contact with the bone. three of
| these pieces. weighing nineteen grains. were
removed by the surgeons, and the woman
| appeared in a fair way Of recovery. Since
the shooting sh" had learned that her ll',s-
| band was willing to forgive her. and she ap-
peared anxious to live. In, during tn" last
few days she sank rapidly, dying to-day.
