New YORK, September 12.-The oil
warehouse and factory of Swan & Finch,
at lis Maiden Lane, was destroyed by fire
this morning. The flames extended to
the southern half of the double building
and damaged the stock of leaf tobacco of
Lichtenstein Bros. to the extent of about
$4,000. Swan & Finch's loss is put at
$4,000 and the loss on the building at
$4,000. The entire available force of the
fire department in the lower district was
called to fight the flames that threatened
surrounding buildings. The insurance
covers the losses. The fire broke out very
suddenly in the factory in the rear of No.
lis and surprised the people in the build
ing. Before some OF the occupants be-
thought themselves of escape, exit by the
stairs WAS cut off by the flames.
John Zeigler, an aged carpenter, at work
on the third floor, ran to the window and,
letting himself down, hung from the sill,
shouting for help. The men brought a
tall ladder end reached him and let him
down. Zeigler wss badly burned about
the hands and arms. John Donnelly, d
pressman in the oil factory, slid down the
fall rope from the third floor, through the
elevator hole, with his clothes aflame. He
was very badly burne :, and, with Zeigler

The English press is greatly disturbed
over the recently delivered speech of
Vice-President Hendricks, indorsing the
parliamentary programme of Mr.. Parnell,
and especially his proposed demand for
the legislative independence of Ireland.
They forget that from the nature of the
government of which he is so high an
officer Mr. Hendricks could not do other
wise. He could not stultify himself by
opposing the desires and efforts of the
Irish for self-government for the same
liberties that his own State OF Indiana en-
Joys in common with all others in the
Union. Mr.. Hendricks is not that kind
of a man. Invited by his fellow-citi-
zens of indianapolis OF Irish birth
TO speak to them on the subject,
he said only what he could
say in justice and fairness. The Irish peo-
people ought of right to be free and inde-
pendent. The autonomy Of Ireland is
recognized. It is one of the three United
Kingdoms, united under one crown, and
as subjects of that kingdom separate and
distinct having special and peculiar inter
ests the Irish people ought to be free to
legislate for all their domestic concerns,
leaving imperial affairs to an imperial Par

The death of Emory A. Storrs robs Chi
cago of one of the ablest of her public men,
the bar of one of its noblest members and
the Republican party of one of its best de-
tenders and friends. He was a man of the
first order Of merit, was esteemed as such
in Illinois by men of al parties, and in
Chicago was regarded and held to be one
of the most useful, because one of the most
intelligent and cultivated, of its citizens.
His death will be a great loss to that COM
munity, rich though it be in men OF brains
and resource. He was thoroughly rep
resentative man, such as Chicago could
at any time send as her ambassador with
out fear that he would fail to reflect honor
upon her and do credit to himself. He
was big-brained man, aud was worthy of
the progressive community that mourns
his loss

JoHN SHKRMAN's attempt to hoist the
bloody shirt has proven "a dead darned
failure" and by none has it been more
sincerely and earnestly condemned than
by the best of the Republican newspapers.
They say that if he and the Republican
party at his back, with all the power and
patronage of the Federal government,
failed to suppress the political sins for
which he arrsigns the South, he has,
therefore, ground Of complaint only
against himself and his party. They he'd
and worked the screws of reconstruction,
and worked them for all they were worth,
and if they failed to screw tight enough it
is their own lookout. But the truth is John
Sherman has no just cause Of complaint
against the South, and when he talks as he
does he simply draws upon his imagins-
ton, and repeats part of the story he told
when he wss the hicle of Eliza Pink
ston's romances; v hen he, q United
States Senator, was the mouth-piece OF a
negro wench OF notoriously bad character
and who could not discrirGinate between
truth and lie. Bad as that spectacle waf
in 1875, when, as Gen. Grant admitted
the Presidency was etolen from Tilden fol
Hayes by John Sherman and others OF thu
visiting statesmen, it is worse now wher
there is nothing to justify it, when thu
States are in the enjoyment of peace anC
prosperity is blessing industrious peopi'
everywhere in the Union. This is nc
craftsmanship; il ia not even pettiiogeinl
politics. 1t is a criminal attempt to foste
and encourage fratricidal strife, to retar'
the industrial progress of the country an'
prevent its growth.

OBITUARY.


CHICAGO, Ill, September ia tele-
gram was received at the law office of
Emery A. Storrs this morning, announcing
that the well-known barrister died at OF
taws, Ill, last hight of paralysis of the
heart. 1t was known that Bir. Stor-s was
i'll, but it was not considered serious until
yesterday afternoon, when his wife was
telegraphed, and she went to him. He had
been arguing case before the Supreme
Court, and was taken i'll on Friday.
An Ottawa special says: This city was
thrown into excitement this morning by
the remark on the street that Emery A.
Storrs, the Chicago lawyer, had died very
suddenly at his room at the Clifton Hotel,
this city. For several days he has been
suffering slight indisposition, but no
serioan consequences had been even
thought of. The best medical attention
had been given him, and at no time was
he confined to his room. His wife came
from Chicago last evening. During the
night it was necessary to administer nedi'
cine, wi ich was done by Mrs. Storrs her
self. This morning, upon awakening, she
found her husband in q dying condition
and beyond medical aid. His death tool
place at 40 o'clock and was without suf
| feriDg, the cause being paralysis of tht
heart. Mr.. Storrs had been in this cit,
/ about ten DAYS.

THE news that our London letter brings
l. not reassuring so far as English politics
are concerned. They are in deplorabiy
mixed state and it will take whole ses-
sion of the next Parliament to bring order
out of chaos. The cholera is still doing
its work in France, Italy and Spain, and
the Nihilists still continue to make the
life of the Emperor of Russia miserable.
Contrasting well with this intelligence is
the statement that the German press is
protesting against the expulsion of the
peaceable and industrious Poles from
Germany. This, and the persecution of
the Jews, is the crowning disgrace of Bis
marck's brutal despotism.

Leasing of Buildings for Third Glass


WASHINGTON, September 12.-At the
last session Congress passed an act author
izing the Postmaster.General to lease
buildings occupied by third class post
Offices. The amount of the appropriation
for leasing postofIice buildings, however,
was only $450,O00, or just about enough
money to defray the expense of leasing
buildings for offices of the first and second
class. Consequently, the Postmastsr-Gen-
eral has been unable to carry out the pro-
visions OF the act authorizing the leasing
OF third class offices. There are 1928 third
class offices, and it is estimated that $780,
600 will be required annually to defray the
expenses of leasing suitable quarters for
them. 1t is probable that when Congress
meets recommendation will be made by
the Postmaster General that an adequate
appropriation be made for these leases, OF
that the act be repealed.

Islands promises to be long end pro-

the world as the pirates and buccaneers
of the sixteenth century did, aud is
taking possession of all the land
she can grab and under any pretense. She
is doing this under the guidance of the
"man Of blood and iron," who, in his
own proper person" is fine type of the
bold rover without heart or conscience, and
who justified his deeds of robbery and vio-
lence by his own standards. With such a
power and such man Spain has but little
