FIRE..
offenders Store Damaged.

This morning about o'clock e. A. Ob-
lenders store and dwelling house, No. 500
High street, was discovered to bc OH fire.
Mrs. Offender, who, with her children,
slept in the second story Of the main build
ing, was awakened by sense of sufloca-
tion, and Oh getting up found the room full
of smoke. She awakened her husband,
who was sleeping in the bodybuilding and
lie, ON going down stairs, found that the
cellar and stOrcloom were OIL fire. lie
attempted to put out the fro with n.y.
drant hose but was unable to do SO. An
alarm was given and a number of his
neighbors ran to his assistance. The front
door of his store was broken open, the
cellar grating was broken in, the water from
y fire plug nearly in front of the house
was turned on, and with buckets of water
thus obtained the flames were finally sub
dued The Humane fire company was
soon Oh hand, but at Mr.. Offenders $ request
threw no water on the house lest they
would injurc the furniture with water.
An examination Of the premises showed
that the fire originated in the cellar, but
Just how is not known. Several empty
barrels were burned, tho storerOom floor
was burned through, the stationary boxes
in which sugar, coffee, teas &C., arc kept
were much burned, the doors, windows
and many of the goods were charre,l and
blistcrcd by the heat, but tho greatest
damage was done by the smoke. Open
barrels Of sugar i'll the cellar and boxes of
sugar in the store were ruined and other
groceries were more or less damaged. The
dry goods, q,leensware and notions arc all
badly smoked. The loss to the building
may be roughly estimated at 500, and to
the stock and fixtures at 5000, all Of which
is fully covered by insurance, the building
being insured in the Rochester German i'll
surancc company, of which J. II. Ostcr-
mycr is agent, and the stock and fixtures
in the North British assurance company,
of which Mcssrs. Bausman IL Burns are
agents. The losses will be promptly adj
justcd.

Gloomy Prospects In Afghan,
istan.

Cabul, 22.-Matters here are very IN
settled. An outbreak is possible at any
time, and almost certain to occur so soon
as the snow melts. Mohamed Jan is
very popular among the Afgbans, who
will willingly follow him again when
called upon. They do not admit their
defeat, and say they were only dispersed,
because they had no cannon with which
10 dislodge the British from Shirpur, but
that next time they will bring cannon.
Shirpur has been greatly strengthened,
but is too large for the present garrison
of 5000 Europeans and 500 natives TO
hold, and take offensive steps against
combination of equal strength
that will last. The Kspistanst continue
to treat, but they cannot be relied on to
keep quiet when disturbances recon-
mence. Two influential scidars of
Wardak have come in and it is hoped
that others will follow. The excitement
at Ghuzni and Legar continues.
Mahomed Jan is actively preparing for
another rising. The uncertainty whether
the British intend to hold or abandon
the country prevents influential chiefs
from cordially cooperating with US or
preparing government to succeed US;
nothing can be done until our policy is
known. 1t is believed if Afghsns are left
to choose an Ameer they would choose
Ayoul Khan commander at Herat, who
is avowedly hostile to British and

HUMANITY's APPEAL.
Efforts 10 RescHe Some Chinese
Children From q Doom
Worse Than Death.

Washington, 22.-The president of the
| New York Society for the Prevention OF
| Cruelty to Children memorialized Con-
gress, to-day, through Senator Herman,
| calling attention to the arbarities about
to bepractieed upon certain Chinese chill
dren. He has sent to Congress and the
President communication in relation to
pitiful appeal which has reached him
from the Pacific coast. He says: In
1877, Yakoob Beg, the famous Central
Asian chief and Chinese rebel, was cap
tured and put to death by the Chinese
government by g slow and painful pro-
cess. Those of his family who had not
fed, on his death, into Russian territory
were cruelty executed. As if the exile or
slaughter of every adult kinsman of his
were not penalty enough, four of his
children, ranging in ages from IA to 8,
have been solemnly arraigned for
hereditary" high treason to the EN-
peror of China. One would naturally
conclude that the completely of the boys
being disproved, their acquittal of guilt
should follow, especially in view of their
tender years; on the contrary, they are
consigned to q doom more horrible
than death. In brief, they are
to be kept until a certain age
in prison and then be emasculated
and consigned as slaves to the soldiery,
uses and practices unhsppily common in
the east, but which Lord Coke says:
care not so much as to be named among
Christians" This, says President Gerry,
sis no overdrawn picture" He i'm
plores immediate action in the matter
and states that if the Chinese government
will commute the sentence of these
wretched children to banishment, this
society stands ready to place them, at its
own expense, where they will beproperIy
maintained. educated and cared for.

New York, 22.-The Tribune speaking
of Lesseps inauguraiing the inter oceanic

gineer adopted this busiEess-like course
before calling the Paris congress he wOu'
have been able to speak with greater GER
tainty on the prospects of the enterprise,

Versy.
The Herald says he has begun the pre-
liminary surveys for the great canal, dug
the first sod and fred the first mine in
what, if it is carried out, will become the
great historic undertaking of the century.
1t Is impossible not to admire the split
and enthusiasm of the great Frenchman.
The World says: We shall not dwell,
to-day, upon certain singular intimatiOns
which have reached US from the isthmus
Of the mischief already inflicted upon
American interests through the strange
and unRccountdble supineness of
the American executive in regard
to this whole mattsC 1t may
become the duty of Congress TO iuyesti-
gate the possible causes Of this supine-
ness. Lesseps tells US frankly now that
it is indispensable TO him to get posses
sisn Of the Panama Railway, and that
when he has constructed the isthmus
canal he means to put all its affairs under
the jurisdiction Of the courts of France,
For all practicalipurposes, LeEseps' is to-
day q new company, with which the
United States are to deal in considering
the questions brought home to US by his
plans and views in regard to the cutting
of water way between the Atlantic and
Pacific, and Lesseps is q man extremely
aptto act while other people are thinking
about acting.
The special Panama correspondent of
the World says: AS DeLssssps must be
in Paris by March 10Th, and has matters
to settle with the Panama Railroad Com
pany in this city, he may be compelled,
altogether, to abandon his California
trip.

THE
SALT LAKE
DAILY HERALD.

The HERALD enters upon the new
year with better hopes and brighter
prospects than it ever before enjoyed.
The remarkable success of the paper
in the past, as manifested by its large
and steadily growing subscription
list, its increasing advertising patron
age and the expressions of goodwill
towards the journal which greet Us
from ell quarters, convinces the pub
fishers that they ore doing what they
set out to do-namely, furnish q
newspaper that the people would like,
and therefore support. The HERALD,
as in the past, will be the peoples
paper. Independent in q political
sense, it will always be found
on the side of the people, outspoken
on questions affecting the rights OF the
masses; battling for local self-govern-
ment and the largest liberty to indi-
viduals consistent with public good;
laboripg for a pure, honest and eco
nomic administration of government;
treating public matters dispassion-
ately snd employing language caIcu-
lated to enlighten the reason of men,
rather than influence their passions.
and working for peace and the de-
velopment of the resources of the ter
ritory, instead of trying to create strife
and Ietard progress. With our in
creased facilities for gathering news,
both by telegraph and mail, the en-
ployment OF larger number of cor
respondents in different sections Of
the country, and the better arrange
ment of all the many details of the
establishment, we confidently promise
to make the SALT LAKE DAILY
HERALD a better paper than ever.

Nebraska,s GROWTH

New York, 22.-The Times, comparing
the wonderful growth of Nebraska with
that Of California, says the cause of the
superior growth Of Nebraska must be
sought in her cheap land, small farms
and competition in freights. California
is kept back by land monopoly and
monopolists, and any quantity of rings
and rings within rings. 1t is within
reason to say that no state in the Union
with half the natural advantages of Cali
fornia is so retarded by the selfish
schemes of few hundred men resolved
to amsss immense wealth st the expense
Of the community, and continually and
successfully carrying out their resolution.
