The ConfiagratIon at woodstock-Further
reports.
WOODSTOCK IN. b. November 11th.-A
great part of Woodstock for the third time is
in ashes. Incendiaries. without the shadow
of doubt, caused the disaster. About mid
night the Mechanics Institute was found to
be on fire. A heavy northwest wind was
blowing, and in a few minutes the
building was enveloped in hames. The
engines were soon at work, but the fire
seized w. f. Dibble's and Benjamin Smiths
new residences, and they were burned to the
ground. In the meantime flames burst out
of Mayor r. X. Jones barn, a third Of q
mile to the windward of the first fire. The
wind now seemed to blow hurricane, and
swept the flames on to Jones' residence, then
across the street, the fire spreading each
way. Soon bothi sides of Main street
were fercely burning. The Free Bap-
tist Church, the old and new Epis-
copal churches and the Registrars office
were wrapped in flames. CONSERVATION was
now on every face. The work of destruction
was of short duration, the engine companies
having stayed the flames at the Institute. A
section of the fire department came across
che bridge to battle with greater and newer
danger. The men were driven down Main
street house by house, till at last on the street
passing the new hotel they finally stayed 1.-THE
devouring element. The fire swept Main street
from Hugh Hays to the Town Hall for ten rods
on each side, running down to point at the
river, ending with the residence Of j. G.
Allen. Some eighty houses were burned.
Their occupants are now sheltered by the in
habitants whose houses escaped the flames.
The loss is placed at SS0,000; insurance,
S32, 600. No lives were lost, but many per-
sons we're injured.

COPENHAGEN, August 6.-The st. Peters

by the same national motives as those
which dictated the iudicious policy of Mr..
Gladstone relative to Afghanistan."

DENVER AND RIO GRANDE.
Completion of Another of Hts Nu-
merOus Extensions.

DENVER, COL, August 6.-The opening
of the Denver and Rio Grande Railway
from Durango, one hundred and fifty miles
from this city, to Southwestern Colorado,
was celebrated there yesterday. This is the
completion of one of several extensions Of
that road now being constructed In this
State. The extension just finished is two
hundred miles long, beginning at Alamosa
on the Rio Grande river aud terminating In
the Animas Valley. The valley is the nat
ural southern outlet for the rich mining dis
trict OF San Juan county, which has been
but little developed, owing to the want
of proper transportation facilities.
A. present two thousand men are en-
ployed on these extensions, and about three
miles are laid daily. In April, 1880, three
hundred and thirty seven miles of road
were operated. Eight hundred and fifty
miles more of roads are now under con-
tract, and the construction is being pushed
as far as the U ah border. The extension
to Gunnieon City was completed to-
day, and will be open for business on MoE-
day next. In 1880 the gross earnings for
the seven months ended July 81 were
1439, 400 40, and for the same period in
1881 they were So, 1O4, ,042 81. The net earn
ings for the first six months in 1880 were
$500, ,2l8 So, and for the first six months Of
this year 81 ,173, S39 65.

BRITISH TOPICS.
The Land Bill-JOhn Bright's OpIn-
Ion of the Measure-BradIaugh
Case.

LONDON, August 6.-In the House of
Lords yesterday In committee, the consider
alton Of clause seven of the land bill was
resumed. Lord Salisbury Conservative
moved that in any proceedings under the
act the rent Of a holding should not be re-
duced on account Of any sum paid by the
tenant or his predecessors on coming into
the holding.
Lord Salisbury said he had assented
to the second reading of the bill In the hope
that this amendment would be accepted.
The government opposed the amendment.
Many Conservatives and also Wings asked
Lord Salisbury not to press the amendment,
which, however, was carried by vote of
157 to no. 1t will be observed that the
amendment apparently aims to prevent the
carving of tenants interest out of the
landlords estate. Several other amend
ments were carried, and the bill then passed
through the committee.
The Pail Mall Gazette this evening says
"The land bill, as it returns from the House
of Lords, is MANNED and impaired. IL is
absolutely essential for the sake of England
and Ireland and the Liberals and Conserva-
tives that the measure which the govern
ment will be called upon to carry out should
be the measure they have recommended and
the very principles on which 1t rests"
A deputation from the Liberal club waited
on Sir Charles Dixie, Under Foreign Secre-
| tary, to request him to vote for the motion,
of which Mr.. Labouchere (sdvanced LiberaD
has given notice, to resciDd the resolutions
prohibiting Bradlaugh from taking his seat
in the House of Commons.
Sir Charles Dixie replied that there would
be a Cabinet council to-day, at which
future steps in regard to Bradlaugh would
be considered, but he believed no attempt
would be made this session to alter the par
| liamentary oaths law. If Mr.. Lsbouchere's
motion is brought forward, which is not
likely, he would vote for it.
LONDON, August THE Observer says:
''The amendments of the House of Lords
| to the land bill formed the principal subject
of Yesterdays Cabinet council. We under
stand that. with one or two minor excep-
tiOns, it was determined to offer them un-
| compromising resistance. We believe 1t
was also decided to bring on the Parlia-
mentary oaths bill early next session. This
decision will probably be communicated to
the House of Commons on Monday"
Mr.. John Bright, in a speech at a
! banquet at the Mansion House last
evening, said he had been advocat
for thirty years. He had studied the sub
! ject, and felt as strongly upon 1t as he ever
had on any political question. He believed
| the land bill was as great and noble a meas
ure as it was possible for Parliament to pass.
He did not doubt that, whatever was the
| passing passion of the Irish people, the time
! would speedily come when they would re-
cognize the endeavor of the government to
do them right and justice. Mr.. Bright ig-
nored the amendments OF the House Of
Lords, and spoke of the bill as almost ready
| to receive the royal assent.

Poor Crop Outlook In France.

LONDON, August 6-The Paris CORE
spondent of the Economist says: "The ac-
counts of the French harvest are less
favorable, and 1t now appears that the yield
to an average one, while the crop would
have to be over an average one to meet the
consumption. The supply will probably be
obtained from Russia, and in view of the
coming exports of wheat the Bank OF St.
Petersburg has been reducing its stock of
gold, and is reported to have sold forty mil
lion francs within a fortnight. Three
fourths of this amount reached Paris and

THE INDIAN TROUBLES.
Grave State of arY
Measures Demanded.

CHICAGO, August IA special to the
Times from Santa Fe, N. NJ, dated satur-
day, says: "Gen. Edward Hatch, accom-
panied by Lieut.. StesdmsR and Msjor
Henry, left this afternoon for Fort Craig to
personally direct the movements of the
troops now out after the renegade Apsches
from the Mescaiero Agency, where depre-
dstions have already been reported. Gen.
Hatch thinks the situation serious, as the
NavBjoes are very restless and chatting under
Agent Galen Eastman, whom
they hate. Gen. Hatch informed
the Times correspondent that
he had sent five companies Of cavalry and
about forty Indian scouts against the
Apachee. The rest of the Ninth Cavelry is
on active duty in the Blue Mountains in
Utah, and the infantry garrisons at Forts
Wingste, Stanton and Bliss must be left
intact to keep the agency Indians IN check.
The Mescsleros, of whom there seemed to
be at first about thirty, must have been
Joined by some Navajoes and, prObablyj by
some Nuvesbalds from chihuahua.
"Their recent victory over a party OF citizens
and their capture Of thirty head OF horses
from the latter, give the Indians advantages
5OuC VI buC Noha-
ioes to Join them. However, GuilfOyle's
Indian scouts and company of the Ninth
Cavalry have already struck their trail, and
news OF a fight is hourly expected. Another
party of Indians stampeded and captured
eight horses from a Mexican train OF Jor
nato Del Muerto, while still another party
captured all the horses of Warner Il
McConkeY's stage line to Black Range,
twenty in number, and wounded two
herders. Thus far eight Indians
have fallen in the raids. The Mescalero
Indian Agency is to blame for all this, as it
is favorsbly situated as a starting point for
raids and a secure haven OF refuge when
the Indians are too closely pressed.
For six months last year the
Mescaleros were dlsarmed and kept
prisoners by the military and were quiet.
As soon as the military are withdrawn they
commence their deviltry, slipping off by
twos and threes, combining at some place
of rendezvous, committing murders and
depredations, scattering and doubling on
their trails, and by and by appearing within
the agency limits as good Indians More
troops are needed, aud until the Indians
are entirely disarmed and dismounted no
peace can be expected"
DENVER, Col, August IA Los Vegas,
New Mexico, dispatch to the Gazette says:
mona Nina, with fifty renegade Apaches,
crossed the line of the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe Railway, near E agile Station,
on Friday, in the direction OF the Argah
Mountains, near where Lieutenant Guilfoyle
had his first brush with the band"

VIRGINIA DEMOCRACY.
The Campaign opened at DanvIlle-
Daniel TO Meet Cameron To-Day.

DAEvILLE. VA, August THE Conserv-
ative Democracy of Virginia inaugurated
its campaign here last night by a grand
mass meeting, which enthusiastically
endorsed the nomination of Hon. John W..
Daniel for Governor, his associates on the
State ticket and the platform of the party. At
the close of the meeting, the entire assem-
blage, attended by brass band, proceeded
to the residence of the Mayor of the city,
where Major Daniel is guest, having ar
rived yesterday, and serenaded him as the
next Governor of Virginia. The gathering
at the Mayors house was immense.
In response to the serenade, Major Daniel
made a short speech, in which he outlined
the campaign he intends to make. He de-
clared himself a firm friend of the public
schools, and pronounced any assertion TO
the contrary absolutely false. He said the
debt question was already settled by the
increased prosperity of the State. He goes
hence to Henry Court House, where he will
meet Colonel Cameron, the Readjuster can
didate, on Monday. The Major proposed to
follow up the campaign vigorously.
