ENGLAND AND RUSSIA. :
The Queen Calls Out the Reserve and Mill
tia for Permanent Service. Number
ing in all 193, 600 men.

LONDON, March 26.-The Queen early this
afternoon sent a message to the House of
Commons calling out the reserve and militia
for permanent service. In accordance with
the Queens message, the War Office has
called out the army reserves and the militia.
The call issued by the War Office, in ac-
cordance with the Queens message, is for
$4,000 reserves and 10000 militia. Glad
stone stated in the House of Commons this
afternoon that the Russians had advanced
no nearer to Penjdeh than Pul-i-Khatam,
which he said is eighty miles distant from
Penjdeh. General Alikhanoff, Gladstone
added, has established post of Turcoma-
ma at Pul-i-Khatam. Orders have been
sent to Chatham to supply imme-
diately five million cartridges. A
Wild rumor is 'afloat that some Russian
troops have attacked a portion of Sir.
killed. After official hours funds f1attened
on the summoning of the reserves and mil
itia. Consols, Russian securities and Turk
pal sufferers. The Paris bourse is fat.
The calling out of the reserves and militia
has increased the excitement over the
Anglo Russian dispute, especially in mil
itary circles. Orders for thousands OF rifles
and revolvers have been sent to Birming-
ham. Arms will be shipped to Bombay
as rapidly as completed. Factories
at Birmingham are working night
and day. The Queens message, calling
out the reserves and militia, is as fol-
lows: "The present state of public affairs
and the extent of the demand on Her Ma
jesty's military forces for the protection
of the interests of the Empire having con-
stituted, in the opinion of Her
Majesty, case of great emergency, Her
Majesty has deemed it proper to
provide additional means for military SER
vice. She has, therefore, thought it
right to communicate to the House of
Commons that she is about to cause the re-
serve forces, and such proportion of the
militia as might be deemed necessary, to be
called out for permanent SERVICE"

THE FRENCH ROUTED.
The Chinese Defeat Them With
Heavy Loss.
General Negrier Wounded and His Death
Later Rumorcd.

LONDON, March ga dispatch from
Paris says: sit is officially announced
that the Chinese troops on the Tonquin
frontier yesterday made desperate at
tack upon the intrenched camp established
by General Negrier between Lang Son and
Kilna, and from which General Negrier
has been making Reconnaissance be-
yond the frontier separating Ton
quin from China proper. The Chinese
drove the French back beyond Lang Son,
and recaptured that town. During this
series of fights General Negrier was gre
viously wounded, and the French causual-
ties were very serious. The latest accounts
represent the French troops in full retreat,
with the Chinese vigorously pursuing them.
A vast quantity, of commissary and
other stones were lost. General Negrier
received gunshot wound in the chest. He
was brought from the field, but his re-
covery is doubtful. The total French loss
in killed and wounded is not yet known.
General Briere De Lisle, who is
in chief command in Tonquin, tele-
graphs for assistance in an implor-
ing tone, which leads the Parisians
to expect further disasters. A council of
war was held to-day with General Lewal,
Minister of War, presiding. Intense ex-
citement prevails wherever the bad news
has become known in France" A report
is in circulation tonight that General Neg
rier has died from his wounds. The Chi
nese, it is estimated, are fifty thousand
strong.

REVOLUTION IN STEEL.
The Old Style Butt and Lapp Tubing for
Sewers and Aqueducts to be Supplanted
by Drawn Article.

BUFFALO, N. Y, March 26.-Some time
since it was announced that contract had
been entered into by.a New York syndicate
with Mr.. Charles H. Kellogg, of this city,
for the delivery of $4,000 tons of drawn
steel tubing at $50 per ton, the tubing be-
ing manufactured by new method, which
was being patented by Mr..
Kellogg. Pipe-makers ridicule the
idea, and it was thought doubtful that such
a contract had been made. Nothing here
was said regarding the contract, but now
everything is to be made public. The Iron
Rerie,r, in its issue tomorrow, will say:
''The tubing is to be used in the Croton
Agueduct contracts, and Brown, Howard
& Co., of Chicago, who have secured Sec
tions /, >, 3, and of the aqueduct, have
purchased, through syndicate, the
Kellogg tubing. The Cambria Iron Com
and build the machinery on which Mr..
Kellogg owns the patent. The machinery
will be capable of making tubing as large
as sixty inches in diameter in lengths of
thirteen to sixteen feet, and it is confidently
expected by this process to be able to make
shells for steam boilers, all complete and
ready for the heads. The machines
which rollers, similar in princi-
pie to the Dudgeon expander, revolve and
press the steel into the required shape. A
large outlay is necessary to erect and per-
feet all the machinery and plant, which has
caused the seeming delay in the enterprise;
but Chicago capitalists are now negotiating
to build and equip mill. Should the en-
prise fulfill the expectations of the pro-
jectors the old style lap and butt weld
tubing will soon be a thing of the past. and
a perfect revolution in the pipe trade will
be ACCOMPLISHED.

Ex-Governor MysteriousIy Missing.

ST. LOUIS, March pa sensation was
caused in the city to-day over the report
that Ex-Governor Thomas c. Fletcher had
mysteriously disappeared. He has not
been seen since Saturday, March 81, and
his family and friends are alarmed over
his sudden disappearance. kilograms have
been sent to all of his haunts, but the
same reply came from all. Governor
Fletcher was the Governor of Missouri un-
der the Republican regime, and has large
and lucrative law practice in this city. He
has number of estates in his hands, but
every dollar has been accounted for. He
is one of the best known men in Missouri,
and the party leader in all campaigns. A
number of sensational rumors are afioat
tonight regarding his disappearance, but
nothing definite is known. 1t is feared: that
he has come to harm in some way, but
though the police have secured the city, no
trace of him can be found, and the search
is being conducted by telegraph in distant
parts of the country.

A Diamond Studded Corncob,

NEWARK, o., March ga short time
since the report went out of the finding of
a magnificent diamond, by DR.. Ayers, of
Homer, this county, the stone being picked
up on the north fork of the Licking River,
among the gravel. The stone is said to
have been pronounced worth $4,000. Since
the fact has become known of the find
ing of such a large stone hundreds of
people have been attracted to the creeks
bank with nope of also picking up some
like treasure. People walk along the
place at all hours of the day. Word now
comes here that Mrs. May Willis has been
lucky enough to have found a stone, or a
petrified corncob, containing numerous
small stones, which resemble the one found
by DR.. Ayers, and all of which have been
pronounced diamonds. They are said to be
valued at about $4,000. This last find has
caused an increase in the excitement, and
also in the seekers after diamonds. Lick

ENGLAND'S DILEMMA.
An Officer of the U. S. Army on the
Methods of the Russian Sol
diery.
Russia Foe in Every Respect Worthy of
British Steel.

NEW YORK, March pa Captain of the
q. s. Army, now on leave of absence, who
was a volunteer Aid-de-C Camp on General
Skobeleff's staff during the recent Russo
Turkish war, said tonight, in relation to
the prospects of an English war and the
methods of the Russian soldiery:
"Next to Germany, Russia is the only foe
in Europe that England thinks worthy of
crossing bayonets with. If war is de-
clared, it will be the first time that the en-
drawn upon to defeat each other. For
forty years England has had no war save
with savages, and even with these people she
has by no means been uniformly successful.
with an army disciplined and equipped
after the most approved theories of militia
ry science. She will have to do with an
empire whose resources are inexhaustible,
whose Government is supreme, and
which puts no value on human
life. Russia might lose one. hundred
thousand men in series of battles without
arousing popular indignation in manner
to affect the Gar. Let England lose that
number of men and the regnant party
would be overthrown, and the probabilities
of the war being stopped would be strong:
The Russian army is, with the exception Of
that of Germany, the best in Europe. l
say this advisedly, having spent four
years in inspecting the second-class
Powers. The War Bureau of Russia does
not know what defeat is. / mean that
succession of defeats would only lead to
greater exertions on the part
of the Government. The Grand
Dukes are all trained soldiers, and two
of them are capable of command, immedi-
ately under them are men who have won
the praise of Skobeleff on many fields
me n willing to sacrifice life in order to Sc
cure an additional decoration or regiment.
A reward for bravery is almost always
given to Russian officers, and they are the
bravest in the world. On the field of battle
they manifest both the phlegm of Germans
and the dash of Frenchmen. They lead
their men in charges, they are athletic,
and, by reason of their train
ing in post duty in Siberia, and along
the Baltic and Black Seas, are Injured
to fatigue. The Russian soldier knows no
home ties. His world is his company. If
his company, of which he is an integral
part, is sent on duty, he understands that
he must do as his commander tells him,
even though it were to kill himself. He is
not reasoning being. He is like slave.
If, on the other hand, he is defeated, he
has none of the power of recuperation pos
sessed by the volunteer soldier. l have
seen an officer cut a man down in his sad
die for forgetting to salute him. The men
do not love their commanders, but they
obey them"

French Defeat in Tonuuin.

PARIS, March 2I.-All the morning news
papers contain articles ON the French re-
verses at Dong-Dong. A few editorials Sc
verely criticise the Government for its dila-
toriness in sending reinforcements to Ton
quin, but the majority are very
warm in denunciation of the Cabi-
nets Chinese policy. Rochefort has
an editorial in the IlatrdRsigednt on
q debate i'll the Chamber of Deputies
last evening on the Interpolation upon the
present state of the Franco Chinese war.
The article concludes with the following
words: "Cease to question the Ministers
and invoke the Guillotine." The GaulOis

Dong Dong in Mondays and Tuesdays

position an exceedingly precarious one:

THE Ex-PREsIDENT's FAME.

Mr.. Arthur Commended Not Because He
Has Done Any Great Good, But Be-
cause He Has Done No Great Wrong.
There is a good deal being said in an
indefinite sort of way about the great
credit with which Mr.. Arthur retired
from the Pres dency. An amiable dis
position has cropped out almost every
where to award him praise for having
been an excellent President, and yet it
would bother any one to mention in
what particular line of administration
the excellence was shown. 1t may be
that the retiring President proved HIM
self to be so much better in the Presi-
dental Office than his previous political
course gave reason to expect that he
would be, that his not turning out as
was expected is emitting him to the
credit of having done exceedingly well.
The credit is the result of surprise and
the merit to which it attaches is more
of comparative than of positive char
.acter.
Tie commendation that rightfully
belongs to the Arthur Administrator
is not for anything particularly go2d it
did, but for its not having done any
thing very wrong. In cons dering
what great damage the Garfield Admin
istration would probably have done TIE
country if it had lived out its full term
under the directing influence of James
G. Blaine, the public readily conclude
that President Arthur, if he did nothing
else. still did the country great service
in abstaining from adopting the Blaine
policy of the previous Administration.
But he retires from the Presidency
without having made a distinct impres.
sion except in social way. The sue
cess of no great public measure marked
his Administration, nor was there any
reform of existing abuses wrought out
during his term to make it distin-
guished. But among society people he
shone as the greatest President this
country has ever had. In this respect
his admirers have great reason to be
proud of him. Other Presidents have
had distinguishing qualities of different
kinds, but Mr.. Arthur, In addition to
his being the best dressed President of
the whole lot, will always be distin-
gulshed as the Chief Magistrate who
could receive and entertain with the
greatest ease and most polished man
ners blue -blooded visitors from the ef-
| fete monarchs of Europe. --EIchdnge.

MUSIC HALL BURNED.
A Catholic Church, q Magnificent Edifce,
also I'm Ruins-Terribly Exciting
Death of a Fireman.

BUFFALO, March 25.-This evening, as an
attache of the Music Hall was lighting the
gas above the stage, a drop fly took fire from
a defective burner. In an instant the whole
stage was in flames, and in six minutes later
the entire building was burning. The Nc
Caull Opera Company were dressing pre-
paratory to the production of "Falka," and
had barely time to escape, some only par
TALLY dressed. The company lose their entire
wardrobes for the operas Of "Falka," "The
kerchief," and the company had most of
their trunks brought to the building, and
these were consumed also. Very few per-
sons had arrived to witness the perform
ance,, and all escaped without injury: An
hour later the st. Louis Roman Catholic
Hall, took fire, and it was soon
evident that the magnificent edifice
was doomed. The Street between
Music Hall and the church was very mar
row, rendering it impossible for the Fire
Department to do effective work. Geo.
Smith and Jos. Green ascended ladders on
the front of the church for the purpose of
assisting the firemen in directing the work.
men and Smith hastily left the roof, which
they had reached, but for some reason
Green remained, and frantically rushed to
the cupola, climbing it in full view of thou
sands OF spectators. He clambered TO
the lightning rod, but returned and rushed,
to the body Of the roof, which was burning
fercely. He rushed to the corner of the
building, and, needless of the cries of the
firemen, who had tarpaulin stretched for
him to jump into, made for the tower, and
from it hung by his hands fully ten min.
utes. An attempt was made to reach him
with ladder, but it was unsuccessful,
owing to the network of telegraph wires;
surrounding the building. At this
time the entire front of the church was;
enveloped in flames. When the smoke
cleared away he was seen still clinging to,
the edge of the roof. Then he lunged for.
ward, let go his hold and fell. He struck
on his head, and was instantly killed. At
$3.50 o'clock the tower of Music Hall fell in.
and a few minutes after the front walls fell.
into the street. The south wall, which was,
ten feet of a large private dwelling, rel
mains intact. The fire was finally confined
to Music Hall and the church.

Two Men Suffncated.

PITTSBURGH, March 25.-This afternoon
Andrew Pearse, of Sewickley, entered
well which himself and Samuel Saunders
had been digging, and in which they had
just fired a blast. When about twenty
feet from the top, Pearse called
out to be drawn up on ac-
count of smoke. He was, however, over
come and fell to the bottom, forty feet be-
low. Saunders went down to rescue his
employer, but both were suffocated before
assistance reached them. Pearse is thirty
five years old, and leaves widow and
family. Saunders had but recently ar
