Lord Rose perry TO nesIgn.

LONDON, June 5.-In the recent debate
in the House of Commons Sir William
HarcOurt, Home Secretary, implied that
Lord ROseberry, in his capacity OF Onder
Secretary for the Home Department, was
specially charged with Scotch interests
merely as a temporary plan intended to
propitiate Scotch members. The state
ment of the Home Secretary has
offended Lord ROseberry, who,
ON entering the House of Lords,
to-day took his seat apart from his col
leagues. He has evidently threatened
to resign, and it is asserted that he has
already written to Premier Gladstone
acouainting him of such intention. 1t is
still hoped, however, that the matter will
be settled.

FROM HEROINE TO INCENDIARY

The Glory of Mrs. Guedan's Death Sad
ly MARRIED.
NEW YORK, June 5.-On May 23d the
artificial flower factory at No. 100 Greene
street, owned by Mrs. Louise Guedan, a
French woman 90 years old, was destroy
Ell by fire. Mrs. Guedan ran up the stairs
when the fire broke out and warned her
wOrkmen and the other occupants of the
house. She herself was the only one who
failed to escape, and her body was burned
To a crisp.
She was much praised for her heroic self
sacrifice and even a monument by sub
scriptiOn was suggested. At the COroner's
inquest to-day il was learned for the first
time that she had tried to induce two of
her wOrkmen to burn the house i'm order to
obtain the insurance on it, as she was
financially embarrassed. There is every
to suppose that, failing in her attempt to
induce them to become incendiaries, she
assumed that role herself.

ANXIETY FOR THE QUEEN.

The Doctors Afraid that She will Soon
be a Confirmed Invalid.
BOSTON, June "a cable dispatch
from the HerdIFS London bureau gives
the statement of a correspondent, who
made it his business to interview a well
known and influential member of the
upper circle in relation to the Queens
health. He was informed that severe
drOpsical symptoms had set in and
that the Queens condition was considered
so unsafe that her doctors all protested
against her present journey to Scotland.
The only thing that caused them to assent
o her going was the fact that the inability
of Her Majesty to get about since the
hurt of her leg has minimized her outdoor
exercise. This has been most sadly
missed, but it is thought that the fresh
air of BalmOral will, to great
degree, make up for it. The i'm
mediate result of this ceasing
Of out door life has been tit after fit Of
serious depressOn. The melancholy
has frightened the doctors, and, added to
the internal mOrbidity of the system, is
causing all who know to anticipate that
at no very distant date the Queen will be-
cOmesa confirmed invalid, and be confined

Special to the Reconnaissance
SAN Francisco, March 26th.-The Rail
road Commissioners met this morning. In

j. S. Tibbitts, of Saratoga, complained

and Gilroy, and between Giroy and Santa
Clara. The complaint was placed on file.
and consideration of the same will be taken
up at the next meeting. Mr.. Foote believed
this case showed discrimination on the part of

answer in the Courts.

A, G, Bassett, of the Southern Pacific, to the
charges of the citizans of the Eleventh Ward,
was read and filed.
j. G. Stubs presented an answer to the
complaint of Edward G. Spauldiug, who
charges that excessive rates en- the Transports
ton of granite are being exacted by the Cen
trsl Pacific.

different railroad companies the usual blanks
to be filed out, showing receipts and disburse-
ments for the year.

Pacific being still in the hands of the printer,
the case was continued for argument until

tary was instructed to summon Richsrd Gray
and Charles Cracker to appear before the
Commissioners on Tuesday, April Sd, for ex-
animation, snd st II o'clock the Board ad.

TIE 1oNe-IooKgp.roR RAIN.

At an early hour yesterday morning it
termissions until after o'clock last evening.
This storm is the first rain which has fallen
for thirty-nine days. At II o'clock last night
the moon was shining through the light
clouds. At P. NJ. last evening Sergeant
Barwick made the following report of the
weather here and ct other Signal Service
Stations on the coast:i
The lowest barometer on the coast is at
Roseburg, Oregon, where it indicated pres
sure of 80 81 inches, and is still falling. It
is also falling along the entire Pacific slope,
with light rains from Olympia to Visalie, the
storm having reached the latter point since
noon. The wind is southeast from Roseburg
to San Francisco, and north at Visslis.
Judging from the winds direction and its
velocity, the storm center must be between
Red Bluff and Visalis, probably out at sea.
per hour at Red Bluff, Is at Sacra-
mento, and IA at San Francisco; at all
other Signal Stations on the Pacific coast
the velocity is less than miles per hour
The total rainfall at Red Bluff during the
storm is LII inches; Sacramento, Lei
inches; San Francisco, 155 inches. The
rainfall at Sacramento for this storm is Lei
inches for the month. l oil inches for the
year, 600 inches for the season, IL 81 inch
es. For the season Of 1877 to correspond
ing date the rainfall was % 81 inches 1873
9, 1S. GO inches 1880, 1854 inches; 1880
l.. "a AZ inches; 1872, 1407 inches. The
average precipitation for the past six seasons
to corresponding date is 1888 inches. The
present season is 3.S7 inches less than the
average precipitation for the past ak years.
The average rainfall during the entire month
of March for the past thirty-three years is
only $50 inches. We are, therefore, less
than one inch behind the average rainfall for
March, with q prospect of the present month
going ahead of the thirty.three years aver
age, although it did not rain before the 18th.
There has been the longest spell of dry
weather the present winter and spring that
has occurred here since 1851, which was the
dryest season ever known. The last rain be-
fore the present storm occurred on st. Valen-
tines day, the 18th of February, as the N.
5. G. w. will remember, and from that date
TO the 25th of the present month not even a
sprinkle gladdened the hearts Of the easily
discouraged agriculturists, which was thirty
nine days that no rain fell.
