strengthened by an article ia the North Ameri-

Smslley's London cable: Mr.. BIaine's dis
patch to Mr.. Lowell on November 10 respect
ing the modification of the Clayton Bulwer
full impression. It ELECTS strong protests
from various quarters. The form in Which Mr.
Blaine states his demand is quite as unpalitable
as the substance. People criticise the peremp-
| tory abruptness Of the tone
A Dublin correspondent says; The organi-

| Burning CT a Round House at st. Paul.
On Wednesday last, the round house of the
St Paul & Manitoba railroad at St. Paul was
bllrned and eight locomotives seriously injured
| The Ere lasted about an hour and half, dur

| very dry and we'll saturated with oil, burned
| with great rapidity. The light frame work
| melted before the fierce flames that swept
through the roof and sides of the structure,
like frost before the sun There was no such
thing as removing the locomotives, and the men
who we're in the building at the time of the dis
aster had all they could do to get out, for the
flames ran around the interior almost as quick
ly as it would had the train been Of powder in
| stead of oil.
! At the time the fire occurred there were nine
locomotives in the round house. Six of them,
numbered 46, SO, 81, 43, %, S5, belonging
to tho Manitoba road, and No 3, belonging to
the Northern Pacific, remained in the building,
and we're disabled very seriously. No. 50, be-
I longing to the Northern Pacific road, and No
81, OF the Manitoba road we're taken out The
former, No. So, was not injured except thatits
train Wednesday night and went out on its
usual trip. No. 81, belonging to the Manitoba
road, was badly damaged
It is impossible to tell what the loss on the
locomotives will be- The price of them hiss
gone up recently, and besides this each indi-
vidual will put his own estimate upon the cost
of repairing them. It was estimated by men Of
good judgment and some knowledge of locomo-
tive machinery, that it would cost 81 !, 900 each
| to repair them.
The loss of the building is of less conse-
quence, as the company expect in few days
| to get into their new round house, which is
| substantial structure of brick and stone.
