THE BURSTING OF A GAS PIPE.

The rumor that sceue-painter hsd upset
a lamp was not substantisted. The fire
swept on rapidly, and was beyond control
when help arrived. Much delay was caused
by the failure of the automatic alarms on
the stage to work, and likewise of the fire ex-
tinguishers. Ten minutes elapsed before The
arrival of the fremen, and then the flames
were bursting through the roof and the

IN PARLIAMENT.
In the House of Commons this afternoon
Under. Secretary Dixie stated that the com.
position OF the Indemnify Commission TO de-
termining what wss an equita able return for
the Alexandra conf sgration in foreign
quarters during the Bedouin riots, had moi
yet been fixed upon. The British govern.
ment were not parties 10 any treaty Of al
lance or contrac; which would prevent the
Egyptians exercising control over their own
people.
Campbell Basnermaa, financial secretary
of the War Office. stated that the death Of
Prof. Palmer in Egypt has rot been fully
confirmed. His mission carried $4,000 in
specie to purchase camels of Beooun'.
Childers, secretary of state for The War
Department, said he declined to appoint a
royal committee of inquiry in the condition
of the medical department OF the army dur
ing the campaign in Egypt. He thought he
department committee now appointed will
suffice Tor that purpose, and will reach the
actual facts and abuses, il any exist.
Gladstone mentioned that application had
been made bv the Egyptian government 10
the Briti.h officers in Egypt for aid in the
suppression OF the Soudan rebellion. This
application wss under consideration.
Sir Michael Hicks Beach asked if any steps
had been taken yet, as had been proposed BY
Earl Granville, secretary of state for the
Foreign Depsrlmentiin March, 1881, for the
purpose of establishing, in concert with the
United Slater, such regulations for the coast
fisheries in Newfoundland as would
serve 10 prevent collisions between the f4her-
meu Of that section and those from the
Uoited States; also, whether the $4,000
which was agreed upon as compensation for
violence done American fishermen in For
tune bay has ever been paid by the colonial
government.
Ashley, political secretary OF the Board OF
Trade, reported that there had been consid-
cradle correspondence touching the matter
with the United States at Washington, but
no regular understanding had yet been OBJ
tanned. This money for indemnity, which
was advanced By the government of Great
Britain, had not yet been repaid by the colo
NAL government of Newfoundland, but
such repayment would be recommended at
the next meeting OF the Newioundl and
Chamber.

ApropoS OF the Jews, heard story
the other day that admirably illustrates
their intense belief in their future. 1t
was told mo by poet:
" A few years ago was visiting ut the

was q brilliant company assembled

ton, and among the people who came
was n gentleman Of such noble mien,
such lofty features, such superb and
bigniied presence, such placid seren-
ity, such manly beauty in every line of
his face and person, that as he moved in
the crowd oouldn'nt turn my eyes away
from him. He seemed to hold me with
spell. l think he was the handsom-
est man l ever saw ; it wasn't merely
physical beauty, it was spiritual beauty

that hardly felt like talking, but after
awhile found myself seated beside
charming Jewess, Miss x, young
woman full Of enthusiasm for her race,
and proud to talk of it.
"Oh, said she, the day is not far
distant when we shall 60 back to Jer-
usalem. We are accommodating wealth
and power that we may bring them to-
gether there and make it like the city of
adream. The great bankers, the Rofhs-
childs, and tho rest will bring their
wealth there, and we shall rebuild the
temple with their treasure. We have
tho capacity to do great things. Our
blood makes good leaders. Beaconstield
is jew, Jules Simon is jew, and
there is Hebrew blood in Gambetta's
veins. Then in the arts we have shown
our capacity for success-hark, they're
playing one of the Songs Without
Words '-Mendelsshon was jew, Rachel

what heights we might rise if the foot Of

poet.
