The Outrage in Ireland. t.s
LONDON, Aug. 10.-Eleven persons have
been arrested in connection with the outrage
on Thomas Boyd and sons near New Ross Ire
land, Sunday night, including three evicted
tenants, two strangers and woman who had
been seen giving sign to the assassins by
waving a handkerchief.

Republican Gains in France.
PARIS, Aug. 10.-The final results of the
election for council generals in France show
that 1912 Republicans were elected, and 305
Reactionares, being gain of 800 seats for
the Republicans.
An Expelled Editor.
LONDON, Aug. 11.-Baron Hickey, the ex-
PEELED editor of the anti-Republican paper
"Le Triboulet," is a native of the United
States, whose ancestors emgrated from Ire
land. The reactionary papers protest against
his expulsion on the ground that he has long

A Distinguished Austria on Trial.
VIENNA, Aug. 10.-The trial of Gen. Pro-
baska, charged with defrauding French COM
pany in selling them concessions of certain
property at San Marino, was commenced Mon
day The trial causes great sensation, Won
Probaska being one of the most distinguished
Austrian generals.
The Powers and the Porte.
In the Commons this afternoon, Dixie, in
replying to an inquiry, said the statement that
the Powers invited the Porte to participate in
coercise measures against sthe Albanians was
substantially correct.
A Constantinople dispatch says Mr.. Goschen,
British ambassador to Turkey, has informed
| Abeddin Pasha that the Powers will not con-
sent to any change of the Greek frontier as
| fixed by the Berlin conference. Consequently
| the new line proposed by Turkey cannot be &C
cepted.
A Constantinople dispatch to the Times says:
| The collective note on the Montenegrin ques-
| ton, presented on the Sd, invited the Porte in
| case of non-satisfaction of the Montenegrin
claims to participate in coercive measures,
which the Powers intend to employ against
the Albanians if they persist in armed opposi-.
| ton. The Foreign Office evidently understood
this as an invitation to participate in a naval
demonstration but it will probably turn out
! that the Powers intend to ask Turkey to send
land force to cooperate with the fleets of the
Powers. There seems good reason to hope
| that coercive measures will he unnecessary.

DISASTROUS FIRE.

Several Vessels and a Large Amount OF
Lumber Burned.
NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE burning hull of
an Oil laden bark this morning hoated against
the pier at Hunters Point, L. l.. of the Ameri-
can Lumber Co. The lumber caught fire, the
flames spreading rapidly to six barges, a
schooner and one ship, all of which were burn
ed, besides great quantity Of lumber, over 10
acres. 1t is believed the loss will reach $780,
Co.,
Six barges laden with lumber were burned,
All the square rugged vessels at the wharf were
Me-, was unloading lumber; also the American
brig Screamer of Portland, and several provin..
cial vessels. With the utmost exertion nearly
all were towed into the stream or moored at a
safe distance.
4. 1t is believed Waterhouse g. Co. had in their
yard at least 5,0OO, 900 feet of pine lumber, and
the Export Co.. who are known to have ham
died last year some 40, 600, 900 feet were pretty
we'll filled up. The losses in all respects are
calamitous, as the firms were constantly MAX
ing shipments to all parts OF the world. even to
Africa, and the interruption of business means
partial suspension of the export trade, particu-
larly to the West Indies and South, American
markets.
The flames are now COS p. m } still advanc-
ing, with the wind from the southwest and
blowing directly on the remaining piles, and
little can be done to arrest their progress. The
spectacle as viewed from the East River or
from the New York side is simply grand Bill
lows OF fire seem to roll over many acres, with
scarcely an attempt to stay their rayages Some
half-dozen tugs playing feeble streams upon
the adjacent property, and the fire departments
OF Brooklyn and Greenport have a number of
engines on the spot, but these latter can do lit
tie more than approach the flames on account
of the intense heat, and then, taking shelter
behind some convenient pile, attempt to save
what remains of the immense stacks of lumber
nearest to them. There are throngs of specta-
tors idly watching the flames.
The fire was caused by the bursting of burn
ing oil barrels on the barque Nictaux, the fam.
ing oil floating on the water to the wharves
and under them, besides enveloping vessels
thereat. The fire is sboundedlon the south side
by Newton Creek, and east by the river. The
principal sufferers, beside the owners of the
vessels, are Watrous & Co. and the Export
LAUNDERING Co. Great indignation is expressed
at the fact that the burning vessel was lowed
into the creek in such close proximity to the
great lumber yards and the fleet Of vessels
there.
LATER.
Steam tugs poured water on the burning
lumber piles all day. At one time the hea
was so intense the firemen could not get with
in 400 feet of the flames. At dock f. cana
boats which were unloading the lumber
schooner Northern Light and receiving cargo
and the sloop Harriet. were all totally de
stroyed. The export company lose $250,OO0

WASHINGTON.
The Alleged Spanish Outrages

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-Commodore Jeffers
does not anticipate any reports from the frigate
Powhattan, recently arrived from Cuban
waters. He says the vessel is not specially in
structed to inquire into the boarding of schoon-
or George Washington, as has been stated but
to learn anything possible in regard to the al
legged outrages in general way. The Com
modore added that while the United States
would keep vessel in Spanish waters, he
did not apprehend any further indignities
to the United States flag since so much excite
ment had been caused throughout the country
by those heretofore imposed.

The Coming Worlds Fair.
The commissioners of the United States In
ternational Exhibition of 1888 assembled in
the Governors room at City Hall at noon, Col
Stebbins of New York being temporary chair
man. The session was opened by Rev. DR..
Newman with prayer. Mayor Cooper well
coined and extended the Inequalities of the
city to the commissioners
On motion of Mr.. Hunt, committee on
credentials was appointed. Ex-Governor Pat
ten addressed the commissioners, and depre-
Gated in discussions all illusions to politics.
Ex-Lieut. Gov. Crawford of Kansas thought
the commissioners should make the fair the
greatest the world has even seen. Mr.. Sperry
Of Connection was anxious to have the site at
once decided on, as he thought financial men
would then come forward with the necessary
funds. Richard Henry Lee of Virginia spoke
of the peaceful effect the exhibition would
have upon the entire country:
Committees on bylaws and temporary Or
ganization were appointed after which Samuel
A. Haines, chairman of the committee ON site,
presented a long report and special commit
tee of II was appointed to visit the localities
mentioned in such report. A letter was read
from Hancock assuring the commissioners of
his interest in the undertaking.
