working of the Edmunde bill, tonight,
VanZile said it would probably work out
the problem in the course Of time, but it
would he q hundred years, or very long

Viding council something like that
which was applied successfully to Louis

This feature was embraced IN the VIII

The Kingston FIRE.

New York, 14.-The Sun has these ad-
ditional particulars from Kingston, re-
eeiVed here yesterday by several houses
in the West Indis trade: The fire origin
ated in the vsts Of the Excelsior Soap
Works st West and Port Royal streets,
and communicated with the rum distil-
leries and adjoining warehouses; thence
it was blown across Port Royal street 10
Hsrbor street, and crept eastward along
the Wharves, spsring only those OF the
Atlas Steamship Company. It extended
more than mile along the hsrbor. The
stone and brick warehouses where the
food supplies were stored were destroyed,
as we'll as the numerous small shops that
were occupied by the Jews. The Colo
NAL Banking Building, an offshoot of
the Bank of England, was 10 the line of
the fire, bat it was solidly built, and was
supposed TO be fire proof. The fire
up Church street aud spreading right and
and left. The houses Of the so 600 ne
groes were sandWiched in between the
shops of the Jews and small tradesmen.
They were Of wood, and must have been
burned like straw. The people fed to-
ward Upper Park Camp, where the gov
erumenL buildings stAn0. 1ney saved
nothing. The comparatively few brick
stores burned as rapidly as tho wooden
structures. The houses of the weather.
people were in the upper part of the
city, and not touched.
Kingston, Jamaica, J4.-The fire
which broke out in the business quarter
of this city on Monday evening, was not
extinguished until Wednesday. The
loss, which was st first put at SO, 000, 600,
is now estimated at &3 600, 900. The fire
which was Of incendisry origin, began
in q quantity Of shingles, and high
wind prevailing, gained great proper
tons. All the warehouses. wharves and
stores were consumed. Four hundred
stores in all were destroyed. Buildings
regarded as fire. proof did not escape de-
struction. and nearly every one Of that
class which the fire attacked succumb bed
to the flames. The fire was attended
with loss of life; five persons are known
to have been burned to death. A new
law will be passed prohibiting the use of
shingles hereafter.

ter says; The new bull pool, understood
TO have been formed in Union Pacific
stock, bought largely yesterday, and is
said to be prepared to take 100, 900
shares.
The question under consideration by
the general freight agents OF the Iowa
pool, was regarding the percentage on
through business, which is said to be of
little consequence in decreasing the
Union Pacific earnings The through
business OF the company is understood to
amount to about 8 per cent. of the gross
earnings on the entire system, and should
an equal division Of through business be
msdo with the lines of Omaha, it would
only affect the Union Pacific about
S2J0 GOO yearly. Colorado traffic lis
reported to have increased about
l5 per cent. over last year. Van
derbit was reported selling Union
