loss Of $500, 900. 1t then caught in the lum-

end totally consumed. Kelly g. ;Oo's LOGS is
$780, 900 and Jones. Knapp & Co. g, 81 6, 600.
10 the meantime the file had burned the steam

At 3 a. m. Saturday. the inseed oil works
took fire and blew up. 1t is feared that there
were several lives lost. The Congress Hall
hotel is almost in ruins. Fifteen acres have
been burned over, and So, 600, 900 is nota
high estimate. Among the buildings lust de-
stroyed are the Union Hall Stores, stern and

4 New Deal In Ireland.


LONDON, May 2-In the house Of lords this
evening. Earl Granville, secretary OF state
for foreign affairs, announced the resignation
of W. E. Forster, chief secretary for Ireland
and the intention of the government to release
three imprisoned members Of parliament
Granville explained tina Earl Cowper had NOT
resigned the lord lientenancy on account of
any difference with the government in regard
to policy. He confirmed the report that Lord
Carlingford would temporarily take the presi-
dency Of the council during Earl Spencer's alb
sence in Ireland. Gladstone in the house OF
commons made an announcement similar to
that of Granville in the house Of lords
Gladstone states that large number of the
suspects would be released, and tho govern
ment instead of renewing the coercion act,
would introduce measure remedying the ad-
ministration Of justice in Ireland He said in
struction had already been sent to Ireland for
the release Of three imprisoned members OF
parliament and that the cases Of the suspects
were being carefully considered with view to
the release Of all except those who were ar
rested on suspicion of having been personally
would be on the governments sole
responsibility. Gladstone stated that Forster
had resigned because he was not willing to
share the responsibility. and that Forster
would make q personal explanation on Thurs
day. The measure which the government will
Justice in ireland, starts with the protection Of
life and property.
Sexton, ct the conclusip Of Gladstone's re-
marks, said the governmenthad taken the first
step in policy that would cover it's admins
dnce ties Of mutual Interest betwssn Ireland
and England. Speaking with reference to the
coercion act; Gladstone made special reser-
vation, that II peace and security should be
jeopardized by the action Of secret societies,
the government would consider It Its duty to
the government did not think the coercion act
had failed, as it had served an important pur-
pose in great crisis. He warmly praised tho
manner in which. Foster performed his duties,
and expressed regret at biz retirement Glad

Gladstone said the release OF Davitt was
totally distinct from the release OF tho sus-
poets, Winch was question it might be right
for tho government to consider. Northcote
likened the government to pendulum,
swinging from one side back to the other.
Chamberlain. president of the board Of trade,
or Shaw Lefevere, commissioner Of works and
buildings, will probably succeed Forster. II
the former, Sir Charles Dixie, under foreign
secretary, will succeed to the presidency Of the
board OF trade. The Times says that the pol
icy now to be tried in ireland is one Of con-
cession and Cancellation, pure and simple
AMERICAN SUSPECTS.
The Times states that the correspondence
between Great Britain aud the United States
relative to the suspects will show there has
been no weak acknowledgement Of pretensions
Inconsistent with international law and COM
mon sense. Great Britain has firmly main
tanned the position that American IrieEmen in
Ireland must submit like other Irishmen to
laws deemed necessary by parliament It is
In Difference to the comfy Of nations, not to
their claim Of right that prisoners of Ameri-
can nationality were offered their liberty if
they would leave the country. II some Of
them foolishly and insolently refuse to give
such pledge they must take the chance of re-
naming in jail as long as the executive deems
necessary. It is, however, no longer doubtful
that the cabinet is considering whether all pris-
oners may not be liberated, except those ar
rested on suspicion of being personally con-
cernod in outrages.
DUBLIN, May 2.--Five suspects were uncon-
ditionally released from the Mas Jail to-day.
