NEW YoRK, september 24.-The Herald
publishes letter from correspondent
who accompanied the sChwalka expedi.
tion to King Williams Land. The story re-
fers more particularly to the incidents Of
the great sledge journey. This is supple
mented, however, by the discovery Of
relics and the examination Of native wit
nesses which led to the sad conclusion
that the fate OF the officers and crew of
Erebus and Terror was terrible, even TO
the utmost limit Of Imagination, and that
the records OF the Franklin expedition
are lost beyond recovery. Old men and
women EsQuimaux tell story Of those
who were doubtless the last survivors Of
those unfortunate vessels with minuteness
OF detail and evident truthfulness which
places their fate beyond doubt and what
had become Of their great leader.
OF the large number OF men who con.
stituted the crew nothing could be dis
covered only q small party OF officers,
black about the mouths and with no flesh
on their bones, are seen in dragging the
boat across the Ice, and then they dis.
appear and nothing more is seen Of them
until their skeletons are found under their
boat and In a tent, a prey to wild beasts.
and with dreadful evidences that they had
been driven to feed on the weaker Of their
companions before finally yielding to
starvation and cold. Such is the conclu.
sions which the discoveries Of this exposi-
tion irresistibly led to. That the records
Of the Franklin Expedition were with this
party is also painfully evident from the
testimony OF the natives, who naturally
considered them Of no Importance, and by
whom they were allowed to lie around as
for the children and eventually
destroyed.

GREAT FIRE IN ST. PAUL.

Auerbach. Finch, Culbertson & Co.'S Great
Wholesale Dry Goods House destroyed.
About o'clock on the afternoon of Sunday
March Z, an alarm of fire was given, which
proved to be in the fourth story floor of the
fine four story structure on the corner of
fourth and Jackson streets, in st. Paul. The
building was occupied by the extensive dry
goods merchants, Auerbach, Finch, Culnertson
& Co. The fire department promptly respond
ed but seemed to be unable to control the
flames. A large portion of the immense stock
Of goods was hastily removed, large quanti-
ty was of course more or less damaged by fire
or water. The great building burned for hours
After night fall the scene was terrifcialy
grand. Thousands of people were on the
streets. The fremen fought the flames for u
consecutive hours. At 2:3O. Monday morning,
the fire was aercely raging still. The fire was
confined to the building. At 3 a. m. Monday
the great walls were standing entire. The
| stock OF goods on hand in the store amounted
to SS0O,OOO, on which was an insurance
Of $4s2,000. 1t is thought the loss
| above insurance will not fall below
a quarter of million dollars. The
building was the property of Commo.

cost $4,000. The building was heated by
steam throughout and supplied with steam
elevators. It was rented to Auerbach, Finch
Culbertson s. Co., for term of ten years a
Sl2,5OO per annum. The insurance on thu
building was $4,000, having been increased
$4,000 last November. If the walls remain
serviceable, which is not probable. the insur
ance will rebuild the block. The probability
however, is, that IN view Of the I'D

and dropped her in. She, not imme-

out, hit the lantern, and knocked it
upon the floor. The lamp fell from the
glass, and, in less time than it takes to

over the barn floor. The gentleman
tried to stamp the fire ont, but it

A DOGS Tribute.

A writer in the Nation told the fol-
lowing interesting story: "In 1843 q
young and sef-taught artist asked me
to allow him to paint my likeness in
olcolors, and I consented. His studio
was in the next town, three miles dis
tant, and, as often as required, I went
over; I, however, did not take my dog
with me. It was done in kit-cat size,
and he succeeded so well in the likeness
and artistic work that when exhibited at
the annual meeting of the Polytechnic
Society at Falmouth q medal was
awarded to it, and, as well, it was
highly commended Not only this, it
brought him into notice, and gained
him lots Of employment. The artist was
so grateful for my attention that he pre-
sented me with the painting, and J. still
have it. When it was brought to my
house my old dog was present with the
family at the 'unveiling;' nothing
was said to him nor invitation given
him to notice it. We saw that his
gaze was steadily fixed on it, and he
soon became excited, and whined, and
tried to lick and scratch it, and was so

though so well knowing his intelligence
were all quite surprised; in fact,
could scarcely believe that he should
know it was my likeness. We, howev-
er, had sufficient proof after it was
hung up in our parlor; the room was
rather low, and under the picture stood
a chair; the door was left open without
any thought about the dog; he, howev.
or, soon found it out, when low whin-
ing and scratching was heard by the
family, and, on search being made, he
was in the chair trying to get at the
picture. After this I put it up higher,
SO as to prevent it being injured by
him.. This did not prevent him from
paying attention to it, for whenever I
was away from home, whether for a
short or long time-sometimes for sew
eral days-he spent most Of his time
gazing on it, and, as it appeared to give
him comfort, the door was always left
open to him. Whom I was long away
he made low whining, as if to draw
attention to it.. This lasted for years.

latter the orders were carried into effect BY

ANT1.CHINEsE TROUBLES.
. Troubles are eliminating in San Fran.
cisco, in regard the employment Of Chinese
and the military authorities are taking pre-
cautiouary measures. March 8, placards
were posted in prominent places about the
city warning employers OF Chinese to desist
from that practice, and vaguely limiting at ter
rible consequences In event OF refusal. Pointed
reference is also made to the condition of the
unemployed. The San Francisco Call of March
8. publishes the result of inquiries regarding
the recent excitement IN military circles in
that city from which it appears that all the
arms of the Second regiment national guards
have been removed from the various company
armories and deposited in the old city hall OF
central police station, where guard of lieu
tenant and ten men OF company F. Second
regiment, is kept over them. Companies B
and G of the First regiment have
been concentrated at = the armory Of
the latter company, and the arms of com.
pany & OF the Second regiment have been
placed in their charge. An officers guard is
now mounted nightly at the armory Of tn.
Third regiment which is allowed to retain its
arms. Offices of the First regiment are closely
guarded, and no one is allo we'd to enter. Gen
MDowell, commanding the division of the
Pacific, was telegraphed March 7, from Wash
|ington to bring all the available troops in hif
division to San Francisco, and the companies
in all amounting to 500, are already en- route
with more to follow, probably 1900 altogeth
Ter. 1t is impossible to find out by whose
orders these movements of the ma
tional guard are made, as tho officers refuse tt
give any information, but it is copjecturet
that the movements are under the direction o
Gen. Mcdowell and are due to the representa-
tions made to Washington authorities by Col
Bee, vice consul representing Chinatown, sup
posed to be in danger. It is understood tina
the present precautions will be maintained
until such time as the settlement of the exist
ing agitation is arrived at, and at least unit
the question of the constitutionality of the Law
forbidding corporations TO employ Chinese ha
been decided by the United States courts ant
the question of the condemnation of China
l town Is settled.
