vate letter OF an Engshman friend in this city under
date OF March 20:
IAN England Is in excited state the Russian

In all the Navy Yards and in military
places the officials very busy. There seems
L. be hope that Mr.. Gladstone will be able TO
maintain peAce. but should he declare against Rus
sla every Udy Will go III heartily 10 support hun.
In the sOidan everything continues to lcok black,
and In this there none OF the unamity OF feel
ing which prevails with regard to tue Russian affair II
agreed that the Government has terribly Dlundered
aui the Tories making great capital out OF the d
ylded opinions which are To be found IN LIB
eral counsels Tho Radicals think that
the Government should have retired into Egypt Oh
the death OF Gorion. The popularity OF that man Is
wonderfu every body seems 10 have gone of his mead
about him. Few only be found 10 admit that the
greater part OF the troubles OF the Government
may be traced his superhne madness. At
any rate have none but ourselves To thank
for all the fuss winch began by SeymOur's
trying his Slton guns Alexandria ana whcn will end
God ouly knows when or where.
These subjects have drowned speculation as to the
effects Of the reform bill The feeug prevails. how
over that the Tories have only form policy Of their

Burned Down.

Sunday morning about 2 o'clock G. G..
KimbalIs house in the town of Ripley,
Morrison county, was struck by lightning
and burned with nearly all its contents. but
the inmates escaped alive. The Little Falls
Transcript says that the fire commenced in
the south part of the house, which was used
for kitchen and woodshed. The shock
was felt by one of the family who arose
and went to the window but could see moth
ing unusual and returned to bed. In few
seconds fire was heard and the household
was aroused. In remarkably short period
of time the building was wrapped in flames,
and soon burned to the ground. There was
not time to save any property from the
upper part of the house. One of James
Kimbalfs little girls, who was stopping
with them over night, had very narrow
escape, and would have been burned If it
had not been for the prompt action of VIM.
Dixon, man working there, who went
after her through fire and smoke and res
cued her. Her arms were badly burned, as
was Dixon's face. About the only property
saved of any value was an organ. The
house was valued at So, 900 and there was
no insurance. MI. Dixon lost about 5000
in notes and money. George Kimball, Jr.,
lost SIS in money. The clothing of the
family and provisions enough to last for a
year were burned.

house of Christopher Deneny was in the
path of the storm and was ripped open by
the elements, the walls Frustrated, timbers
shivered and splintered, stoves smashed

ding torn up: Fire was started i'll the up
per story but was soon extinguished. Eight
persons were in the Deneny house at the
time, and all were knocked unconscious.
Strangely enough all have recovered, though
they were found helpless by John Lang's
people, who witnessed the catastrophe from
a distance. L. L. Wheeler's house was also
knocked or blown over, and machinery

Dies MONIES, June 2.-The present state
auditor, Cattell. makes public statement
of findings from records of the expenditures
of Brown while auditor. He says the COM
missioners appointed by the governor re-
ported that the expenditures from the con-
tingent fund of the auditor were over
&c. 600, while the records show they were
S7,1S6.76, of which amount 81, 060.01 was
paid to his deputy Stewart, for which the
commissioners found but two vouchers COW
Ging $50, but which cannot be found;
hut voucher is on file, appearing to have
been since filed, covering $3.50 paid to
Stewart for extra work 400 nights. AS
there are but 693 working days in the en-
tire two years, and as Stewart was
absent examining banks to the amount Of
81, 1894 at the rate of SIS per bank, Mr..
CatteH does not clearly understand Stew
arts arithmetic, nor why he should be paid
during that two years 81, 712. OF, when the
salary allowed by law is $1,000 per year,
which is supposed to cover his entire ser
vices; and further, why he should be al
lowed fees when the statute says all fees Of
tlR Office less the actual expenses, shall be
pad into the state treasury each month.
Unier this state of facts Mr.. Cattell says
he cannot see how the governor could law
fully approve the bond of Mr.. Brown.
