Fire ana Loss sf Life.

BUFFALO, Dec. ia serious fire. attend
ed with a heavy loss of life, occurred this
evening about 6 o'clock. The fire was dis
covered in the third story of an immense five
story building, owned by e.. w. Taft, and
occupied by Berg 81 Sons, wall paper manu-
t.acturers. The building had a front of 50
feet and was about 800 deep. There were
about $50 men employed AL of the en-
ployes were at work, and in less thar 20 min
utes after the alarm was given the building
was a mass of flames and the walls crumbled
and fell and probably buried 20 or 80 EN-
ployes. The doors TO the different rooms
were hung TO swing in and and each had a
heavy spring closing it, thereby retarding the
egress of the occupants. The building was
without fire escapes of any kind. The terri
fed workmen jumped from the windows and
many escaped with broken bones and bruised
bodies. Those in the upper stories unable to
escape appeared for a moment at the win
dows and then sank back, suffocated in the
smoke and flames. The loss Is estimated as
follows:
Geo. w. Taft. building. ..... ...... sos 900
Berg Il Sons, machinery and paper
STOCK. 100000
John b. Manning, grain............ 25,OOO
City Engine house, by falling of the
walls. 5000
.......$2S3,OO O
The insurance is estimated at $3.50, 900.
The relatives and friends of the dead and
missing ones surrounded the ruins. The
streets are full of rumors and it is probable
that the list OF killed will be more than
double when the smoking bricks and ruins
can be removed.

Queen Victoria Hostile.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE Worlds special
says: 1t is stated in town tonight that there
was a painful scene between the Queen and
Mr.. Gladstone, at Windsor, over the Irish
question. Her majesty urged the premier
very decidedly to resort at once to force and
crush the disorder In Ireland. The liberals
VINO circulate this story ascribe the Queens
interference to the personal influence of Lord
beaconsfleli j, In whom she has %undoubted
connsence and who recently made her a visit.
Inc condition OF affairs in Ireland formed
the principal topic of discussion to-day in the
CABINET council, but the decision arrived at,
II any, has not been made public. No more
councils will be held, l am informed, until
after the holidays. When the council adj
journed to-day Mr.. Forster hurried back to
Dublin, and the other ministers left London
for their respective homes in the country.
Those persons who profess to be we'll informed
as to the devious course of justice in Ireland
express a belief that the acquittal at the Cork
Assizes, Yesterday, of Messrs. Healy and
Walsh on the charge of intimidating farmers,
will have a very bad effect on the coming
trials of indicted land leaguers.
Indignant Farmers.
LONDON Dec. 1.-THE Times Dublin
correspondent says that the loyal farmers and
traders in many of the counties heretofore
undisturbed are yielding very reluctantly to
the pressure put upon them to join the land
league and to subscribe to its funds, in conse-
quence of the refusal of Gladstone to assist
Boycott. The English public will be appeal
ed to for aid. A list of the committee will
be published shortly which will organize a
subscription in aid of Boycott.
The Times, in an editorial, says that the
governments last and unnecessary blunder
is Gladstone's reply to Boycott's demand tor
assistance, which is conceived in a spirit that
will provoke much dissatisfaction. Public
opinion cannot be offended by a letter which
is devoid of natural sympathy, and conceived
in a spirit of pettishness against Boycott for
having made the Necessary employment Of
troops. Unsatisfactory as the action of the
government is, and unable as they are tt
agree, we must still retain them for no Other
reason than that we "should not chang,
horses while crossing the stream.' 1t is to b.
hoped that they will brace themselves VI
when the time of legislation comes, however
limp may be their attitude as an executive
government.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. &c Neil, of
Idaho, in his message to the legislature, says
that pelygamy Is being rapidly introduced
from Utah. The statute is defective, and the
territory is in danger of becoming a second
edition of Utah. He expresses the hope
that the legislature will adopt measures to
crush out the practice, and urges the punish
ment of those who advise and preach the
doctrine of polygamy. He recommends that
that congress be memorialized TO amend the
act of 'G2 so as to make p~olygamOus cohaslt-
alton after marriage in another territory an
Ctfense.
