the same time humping her back in
anger. This elevates one end of the In

THE DUTCH HEARD FROM.
The Attitude of Bismarck and Germany
Toward England.

Bismarck has instructed Count Won
Munster, German Ambassador to England
to ask Earl Granville, British Foreign Sec.
retary, what measures England intends to
take for the payment of the Alexandria in
demnity. He also urged early and ener-
getic action to punish outrages inflicted by
English fishermen in the North Sea on
German fishing sloops. The German
press continues to attack England's policy
in the Egyptian conference and PrimeMinis'
ter Ferry's overtures to European powers
for joint representation with England on
the payment Of the indemnities. The
North German Gazette reproaches the Eng
lish press for its efforts to excite France
against Germany. The paper says: IRE
cent events have sharpened public opinion
in Germany to the drift of English policy
and are dissolving the belief with the friend
ly sentiments of the English for their Ger
man cousins. The attempts to excite hate
between France and Germany are now
happily seen through both in Paris and
Berlin. Henceforth if England's interests
are opposed to the French she must not
look to Germany but must act alone"

LIEUT.. GREELY.
Happfest Man on Eearth- Sergeant Brain
ard Interviewed

At Portsmouth, N. H., on the I'd inst,
Lieut.. Greely sauntered under the trees
on the lawn for an hour with his wife,
mother and children around him, while he
| conversed with Gen. Hazen. He was
gazed upon with great interest by the vast
crowd around the house. To a reporter
Greely stated he was feeling better than at
any time since the rescue, and said he: II
am as happy as any man could possibly be,
the only draw back being the memory of
the seventeen who are not here to ENJOY
the fruits Of their courage and devotion"
Sergeant Brainard in conversation with
reporter said the party did not suffer much
on the journey down from Lady Franklin
Bay, they having suffered but little incon-
venience from the cold. ut was when we
began to starve that we began to suffer"
When the reported asked him if the Greely
party could have gone still farther north
than they did, Sergeant Brainard replied it
would have been very difficult. IA ship"
said he, 'certainly could not have gone far
ther north. The ice would open and close
so rapidly that vessel would surely have
been nipped and crushed had passage far
tner north been attempted" The same ice
conditions he said, would prevent sledging
northward, because where the ice was OPEN
ing so often it would have been of great
danger to life When asked as to his opin-
ion whether future Arctic expeditions
would succeed in finding the North Pole,
Sergeant Brainard said he did not believe
this would ever be accomplished. "Nor do
believe" he said, "that any explorer will
ever reach higher latitude than the Gree
ly expedition did," Sergeant Barnard also
stated the crew were comfortably situated
while at Lady Franklin Bay. There was
plenty of provisions, coal and everything
else that was needed. When asked if the
entire party would have reached home |
safely if provisions had been landed at Cape |
Sabine by one of the former rescuing expe-
1itions,he replied, smilingly: "Well, if the
men who died had had enough to eat they
wouldn't have starved to death. The great
est loss to the expedition was when the
Esquimaux died. He was able to get game
God for us that we had not the strength or
to get for ourselves" When
he reporter asked the survivors if they be- +
ieved other expeditions would be sent to
he Arctic, one and all replied, ayes, and
We are all ready to go with them, and could
tart Tomorrow, if necessary" All of them
ook strong and healthy.

At the appointed time the stole was laid

BIG WOOL TRANSACTION
A More Active Demand for Wool in the
Boston Market,

The Boston s7ournal of Saturday SAYS
there is better feeling in the wool market.
an active demand from the manufacturers.
and more or less speculative inquiry. The
receipts are large and the stocks are accu-
mulating. We have reached, evidently, the
turning point, not only in wool but in all
kinds of merchandise. The sales of the
week include 4,1So,ooo pounds of all kinds,
mostly domestic woods, being the largest
transaction we have had to notice for
long time. The demand for California
wool has been but moderate. Prices steady:
to-day's sales, 10000 pounds Of choice
spring, a5c to 26c; $1,000 spring, 23c to
2sc; 21'ooo spring. 15c to 2oc; 5000 spring,
1Qc to 2oc; and 10000 spring, private
t0lms. The bulk Of the California clip has
quietly passed into the hands Of the manu-.
facturers, dealers and local securing estab-
lishments. It is believed the stock at this
point will not exceed fiye million pounds.
All things considered, the clips Of wool
have been very well bought up for the sea-
'on Of the year, and to obtain supplies man.
afacturers must turn their attention to the
EASTERN markets, as good lines Of wool are
IT'LL offering from places, 5ut will scarcely

THE BELKNAP BUBBLE.
A Den of Schemine Villains Wiped Out
by Fire.

The Idaho Sum adam Aulbach's paper,)
published at Murray, CGur d'Alene, says:
1.-THE fire at Belknap was fitting climax
to one Of the worst frauds ever perpetrated
by a lot of scheming villains upon a con-
fiding people. While the majority Of the
inhabitants were innocent victims, there
nevertheless was gang of robbers, outside
of the town company swind!ers, who de-
serve to spend some of their days behind the
walls of the penitentiary. 1t was literally
nest of thieves, who terrorized the place
and held high carnival over their ill-gotten
gains. Even reputed merchants covered
the outrageous transactions for mere CON-
missions. A nasty stale of affairs would
probably be revealed if the grand jury of
Missoula county would investigate the
matter thoroughly, without fear. Their
first movement should be in the direction
of Sheriff Berry's administration" Aul-
bach published his paper at Belknap for
time. A correspondent Of the Sun, writ
ing from Belknap, says: "There never
was fire which gave so much satisfaction
to the people as the burning of Belknap.
who has lived in it has damned
the place and its projectors, and all are
ready to 60 away from the accursed spot
satisfied that they are leaving nothing be-
hind for the contemplate sharks"

A BIG FIRE AT SNAKE RIVER.
The Lava Beds North lof Snake River u
Sheet of Flames.

| The Wood River Times of the 31st Of
July contains long account Of the great
| fire now sweeping over the lava beds north
of Snake river and west of American Falls.
The town of Shoshone, on the south bank
of Little Wood river, was only saved by
the citizens turning out and back firing the
brush and grass south of town. 1t says:
The entire country for 40 or so miles
each side of Shoshone seems to be in flames,
and the fire seems to be gaining in all di-
rections. The ,rapidity with which it spreads
under high wind is wonderful. About
noon yesterday there was but a mere
breeze, with a spurt or two. Yet the fire
travelled faster than horse could run, and
in less than one hour had covered 25 or 30
miles. The wind blowing to the east saved
the town. 1t was then that the fire envel
oped the Robbers Roost and the Big Butte.
The flames would raise in the air about 30
feet break in big blocks, sail along with
the wind, and land about 100 to 900 feet
ahead. Its speed is not surprising with
such gigantic leaps. AS the weary Sho
shonites, worn out with exertion and anx-
iety, retired last evening, arrangements
were made to leave strong guard on all
night Several went up to the" machine
shops to see the fire from the roof of those
buildings. The atmosphere was-flled with
black smoke that nearly stif1ed them,' but
they could see one vast mass of flames ex-
tending easterly and westerly for probably
100 miles, and travelling with astonishing
rapiditv. The line of the fire was about
three miles from Shoshone. About two
miles this side Of that could be seen the
line of the back fire from Shoshone, which
was about one mile long, and gradually
spreading, but the town of Shoshone was
saved.

FAST TROTTING.
Maud s. Knocks the Tr0tting Record
to 20 Sd.

At the Driving Park at Cleveland las
Saturday was great day. On account o
rain interfering with the programme Of the
week the sport began at II in the morning
and continued without interruption until
5, when the races finished. The attendance
was large, weather pleasant, except short
shower at o'clock; track good. At4:3o,
between the three heats of the pacing race
of the :27 class, Maud S. was brought on
the track, and after a little warming up,
VIM. Blair, driving, nodded for the start and
gave the mare her head. She strobe off in
the smoothest. conceivable manner, unat.
tended BY any horse to urge her along, and
made the entire circuit like perfect work
ing machine without skip. She passed
the first quarter in 32A, the half mile in
1:o4H, and the three-quarter post in :361.
The full mile time was given as 2:ooA.
Three gentlemen timed her in the judges
stand. David Bonner, of New York, made
the time 2:ooA; VIM. B. Fasig, secretary
of the Cleveland Driving Park, :oo 3-5,
and !. Cummings, president of the Toledo
Driving Park, 2:o9K. Several watches in
the boxes opposite the judges stand mark
ed nine and half. President Edwards
the time was record, inasmuch |
4 $Ioo was bet on the trial, D. H. Louden-
luach, Of Chicago, putting up $1oo with
Captain George M. Stone, manager of
Maud S., that she would trot better than
':11H. The track was estimated second
md half or two seconds slower to-day
han the Providence track. The great
rowd of spectators went wild with enthu-
iasm when the mare crossed the score, and
gain when the time was bulletined, show
ng all previous records beaten, and that
he handsome mare had made the fastest
nile ever trotted.

PRECIOUS PROSPECTS.



There has been great deal Of gold taken
out Of the mines Of British Columbia, since
the precious metal was first discovered
there. The quartz mines have never
amounted to much, but some very rich
placers have been found and worked in va
rious places Two or three of the early tex
citements carried thousands of men from
California mines with disastrous results to
most of them. The Frazier River excite
ment is remembered as one of the most
widely spread the miners eve: experienced.
Thousands went to the region, but few
made fortunes. Every few years new re-
gions are discovered, but they are circu;n-
scribed in extent, and the ground usually
taken up. The climate is against mining,
for the winters are long and severe, and the
country rugged and mountains with innum-
cradle streams. The mosquitoes in some
places are enough to keep men away. This
week the telegraph brought US news Of an
other find, which has raised local excite
ment at Victoria On Lone creek, a trib-
utary to the Skeena river, 500 miles above
Aberdeen, man known as Jerry took out
5000 in less than two days. On Lost gulch,
short distance above Lone creek, Harry
McDamc and J. O'Brien took out $1,000 in
three hours, crevicing one piece that
weighed $S7, and was exhibited at the
Skeena mouth. The gulch is fifteen miles
long. Crowds have left the canneries tor
the new gold field, and many more would
have gone but for the scarcity of mining
implements and provisions. MIR. Cunning
ham has brought $1,000 in coarse gold
from Lone creek, taken in trade. The
pieces range in size from bean to pig
cons egg. Every one on the Skeena is
jubilant at the discovery Of gold.
