devastated by another confagration, the
third within seven years. The fire
broke out on the 26th of December and
swept the city like whirlwind. Miles
of ground were laid waste, Ii, 900 homes
destroyed and $4,000 persons made des-
titute. The loss of life is reckoned
at 100, although the precise number
can not be ascertained. A considerable
part of the foreign district was
destroyed, including several missionary
establishments, one church, and
one foreign newspaper Office - the
Toxic Times. The Legation of
the United States was in danger,

SECRETARY SCHURz says that present
negotiations with the Ute delegation,
although necessarily kept secret for the
present, are expected to accomplish the
following results: First, to have treaty
provisions about the surrender of Of
tenders carried out so that the partici-
pants in the White River murders can
be tried; second, to make such ar
engagements with the Utes as will avert
from them the injuries that are
threatened to be inflicted upon
them the border population of Colorado,
and which certainly would come if the
present boundaries of the reservation
were preserved. This accomplished,
the present difficulties will pass over
without an Indian war, which will be a
great benefit to the country generally.
Third, to secure for them full compen-
sation for every piece of land they may
cede to the United States, and safe and
advantageous settlement for the future.

and there was not differ
ence of one-tenth of an ohm from the

cult. The surface of this carbon, which
burned sos hours, is as bright to-day as
it was the day when first put in, where
as oxidation makes carbon black"
