War on the Pail Mall Gazette,

The London police have been ordered to sup
press the street sales of those issues OF the Pail
Mall Gazette which contain the articles on tho
secret vices of London. All news vendels
found selling the issues in the streets are being
arrested. Six vendors who were taken into
custody have been arrn'gued in the Mansion
House police court, and remanded for week,
bail being allowed.
The Pail Mall Gazette, in one of its later
afternoon editions, bids defiance to the author
tiles who are engaged in the work of attempt
ing TO suppress the sale of the past three days
issues of the paper. 1t claims honor for lead
ing in the cause of exposing the vices of the
rich, and declares that the best men of Eng
land enthusiastically support it in its crusade.
The Gazette challenges the courts of London
to prosecute it for the work it is engaged in,
and says it might subpoena half Of the Legis-
lature of England to prove the accuracy of its
revelation. The Gazette continues today the
work of adding to its revelations. The paper
Is selling at a great premium, and the circula-
ton is enormous.

The British Political OUTLOOK.

A London dispatch says The elections held
since the change OF government show decided
Conservative gains in all parts OF England as
well MS at the solitary contested election that
has taken place in Ireland. The Scottish Tories
also claim n material improvement of local
feeling, but MS there has been no opposed re,
turn in North Britain, the drift of political
opinion there is moro uncertain. Summing up
the Indications for the United Kingdom, good
judges say that, if an appeal to The country
could be taken at once on the old franchise the
constituencies would reverse their verdict Of
1880, and return Conservative Parliament.
The two mill on now voters and the changes
made by the Seats act in the boundaries of the
constituencies put the result Of the next cleo
ton quite beyond guessing The case is to be
tried by a now .inry i'll another court. But the
recent reaction toward Conservatism is so
strong and general that the leaders of the party
feel greatly encouraged by the outlook. They
are beginning to hope that the leap in the dark
TO be taken next November will not land the
country in the Radical bog.

SMASH-UP THE FIRST DAY.
The New Providence Freight steamer
Nashua Badly Stove In.

The New Providence Freight steamer
Nashua Badly Stove In.
New York dispatch says: The new Provi-
aence line freight steamer Nashua has made
trial trip. President d. L. Babcock OF the
Providence & Stonngton company had about
seventy-ive steamship and mercantile gen.
llemen rs guests. The Nashua is side
wheeler, and was built at NoanlS by Robert
Palmer & Sons. Her capacity is 100 carloads
Of about 20 tons each John Roach built her
Oscillating engine. The NHshua's speed showed
that she she is II good l6-knot boat. After she
had landed her guests at the Stonington pier,
loot OF jay street, Capt Jones took the Nash
az down the river to the Providence line pier
foot of Warren street, and ran her bow up
against the south end Of the pier, intending
to swing her stern around into the slip.
The engine got stuck somehow and did not
respond TO the signals, and the stern of the
Nashua crashed into the end of the Fall River
line pieI below. The north side of the pier
was stove in for 50 feet, and the damage ex-
tended to the south side. Altogether it was a
bad wreck. The joiner work about the Nash
ua's stern was broken in and the end of her
rudder post WAS snapped III to. After striking
against the pier, she driftel out into the river
with the tide and across the entrance of the
Pavonia ferry, with her machinery stuck fast.
The icrryboat Erie, with passengers for the
early evening trains, was unable to get out OF
her slip. Finally her passengers were trans
ferred to the boat Delaware in the slip above,
and the Delaware managed to squeeze past the
Nashua.
The Nashua blockaded the entrance TO the
Pavonia ferry for half an hour Tugboats f.
nally towed her to her pier. John Roach's
men were in charge of the engines. They
were not communicative about the nature OF
the hitch

FIRE IN ALBANY.
-Four FIremen Buried by Wall Fall
ing upon Them.

DAE hpch
In Albany, n. Y, recently, Burch's stable
and Gny's piano factory were burned. -Four
fremen were buried under falling walls and
% horses persisted in the flames. The property
loss will aggregate between $4,000 and
100000 While tho coniagntion was at its
height terrible casualty occurred. Pipeman
Of steamers Nos. and were stationed at
narrow alley running along the north OF the
piano factory, directing powerful streams
through the windows Of the blazing structure.
The hose was manned by Foreman +. j. Wal
len and Rufus X. Townsend of steamer 4, and
Foreman John A. Luby OF No. 2, and Daniel
Wheeler of No. 4. Suddenly loud cracking
noise was heard above the roar, and the wall,
towering so feet in the air, swayed for a moment
and then fell with crash ON the daring tiremen.
The narrow alley was piled high with red-hot
bricks, smoking timbers and seething debris.
The crowd sprang to rescue the buried men,
aud first drew from the pile the manged form
of Mr. Luby. He was terribly injured. His
RIBS were crushed, his skull fractured, bones
broken in various parts Of tho body and inter-
nal injuries sustained. He was beyond hope
when reached, and died in three hours, after
suffering great agnony. Mr.. Townsend was
next brought out. Although it was feared
that he was fatally hurt, a surgical eXnmlna-
tlOn showed only lnfee fractures Oh INC reg
and severe bruises, and tonight he is quite
comfortable. Fred Wnllen was found with
his head crushed in, collar bone and arm brok-
en- and internal injuries, The doctors do not
expect him to live through the night. Later,
at the bottom of the pile of debris, Daniel
Wheeler's body was discovered the
head being crushed to jelley.
John A. Luby, from his activity in politics as
one of the most energetic and skilful lieuen-
ants of the stalwart Republican managers, had
acquired reputation throughout the State. EIe
was about As years Of age, a shoe manufacturer
and an ardent fireman Fred Wallen is the
leading gas filter of the city, and Wheeler was
a quiet and industrious workman. Mr. Town
send is a rich young man, who has mania for
going to fires, and has been injured once or
twice before. He is the proprietor oftho Town
send iron foundry and a director in the State
National Bank. The origin of the fire has not
been deinit ely ascertained. 1t is supposed by
some to have been caused by spontaneous COM
bustion in the drying room of thepiano fact org,
while others maintain that it caught in the rear
# the stable. The loss is about $50. 900; in
cured for $4,000.

Anarchists Arrested at Brussels,

The police at Brussels on information and
application from France and Russia, discover
ed nest of Anarchists in populous suburb OF
the city. They were taken unawares. 1t
seems they had decided to fight the police with
pistols in case they were detected, but the
police managed matters SO adroitly that twenty
Anarchists were arrested without an oppor-
tunity beng given them for resistance. Among
them were two French and two Russian Mill
lists, vino will be expelled from Belgian terri
tory, even if no fact justifies their surrender
and extradition to France or Russia. Beside
firearms, there were found revolutionary docu-
ments and full list of members of the organ-
zation. The police believe that the Anarchists
were plotting against the Gar. The author
tiles refuse 10 give publicity TO the details.

A VIRTUAL VICTORY.
End of the Car Line Employees Strike in
ChtcOgo.


After lasting just eight days, the strike of
the conductors and drivers on the western di-
vision street railways, at Chicago, H., has
come to an end. 1t is virtual victory for the
strikers. The strike originated in the discharge
by the RAILWAY company OF l6 men who had
been members of committee which had sue
cesstully petitioned the company for the re.
dress OF certain grievances. The employees be-
Heved that these men were discharged because
OF their having served on the committee, and
insisted that they should either be taken back or
given chance 10 answer any charges there
might be against them. The company declined to
do either, and the conductors and drivers some
1000 in all, struck. Today the company
agreed to take back all the strikers, and to
hold an investigation of the conduct, for three
days previous to the beginning of the strike,
OF the 10 men who were discharged. This
excludes the date when the committee which
obtained the concessions from the company
was in service, and gives the company a
chance to show whether or not there was any
just cause for the discharge of the l6 men.
The settlement of the strike was the result of
the conferences between the executive COM
mittee of the strikers, the officers of the COM
pany and the city officials upon whose
shoulders the maintenance of order has fallen.
The strikers insisted that the discharged men
should have hearing, and President Jones,
after reflection, consented that they should.
The terms of compromise thus determined
upon were submitted to the strikers at the
meeting this afternoon and adopted. Cars
will begin running on schedule time with the
old men in charge.

STRIKING IN HIGH PLACES.


Cholera Numbers Countess Among
its Victims.
The death Of Countess Romeral at Madrid
from cholera is The first case in Madrid among
people of means and position and living in
a good neighborhood. The countess had re.
turned eight days previously from Barcelona,
which is less badly infected than Madrid. Her
death is therefore startling because the infec-
ton may have originated in Madrid. Her
apartment was in one of the best buildings in
u fashionable street. Her husband and three
others will be rigdly quarantmed in these
rooms for nine days. The countess death W y

10 the present administration, as each prov

lates the matter for itself and in accord

The lazarettos are crowded, filthy and un.

are charged for necessities. No Injuries, OK

ecribed to press correspondent by travellers
who have spent week in it, one lazaretto

chilly night air. In one were crowded the
healthy people, sleeping on cots, unprovided
with other covering than such rs the travellers

edly Gagged, while in the other were the sick
and the dying. The food was unhealthy the
smells vile, and the charges almost as fright
tul as the risk of infection.
A Valencia paper comments on the govern,
nent cholera statistics MS llCws "By the
cemetery records 235 corpses were inferred in
one day while the authorities reported only
l44 deaths. AS cholera corpses are at once
taken 10 the cemetery, the inference concern
ing the statistics is that probably just the
difference between the official list published
and that privately kept may safely be estma-
ted Mt fourth to a fifth, and in some cases
the actual deaths still more largely exceed the
official list"
Another dispatch says: The returns from
all the cholera districts in Spain show that
in one day recently 1888 new cases and Gas
deaths were reported

The maharajah of Travancore is Ger.
tainly worth his weight in gold. He
was recently weighed against mass OF
pure gold which was afterward dis.
pcpsed in charity. This custom is one
of great antiquity, and it is said to be
tr0ceable in Travancore to the fourth
century. 1t is not unknown in other
parts of India, though, of course, gold
is only used in the case of wealthy per,
sons, humber folks being content to
weigh themselves against spices OF
grain. On the present occasion the
maharajah weighed little over 12l
pounds. The Brahmins, it is said,
wished to defer the ceremony in the
hope that the maharajah might more
nearly approach the weight of his father,
who did not undergo the rite until forty.

The Ameer Said 90 Have Little Faith
In Either England or Russia.
The London Standard prints adviees from a
reliable source in India in regard to recent
events in connection with the Afghan frontier
trouble. Tho Standard correspondent asserts
that the Ameer of Afghanistan attaches little
value 10 the friendship Sf either England or
Russia. The Ameer considers Lord Dufterin
stingy. He had expected from the Eng
lish representative much larger subsi-
dies OF money and arms than those
which have been given him. The
correspondent says the Ameer, in
giving food to his subjects, first exacts tho con-
dition that they will fight, if called upon, either
the English or the Russians. A pilgrim from
Afghan Turkestan reports that feeling of ex-
treme dissatisfaction against the Ameer's rule
exists among the officials there. He declares
that these officials are ready and willing to join
Russia or Isa or Ishan- Khan. 1t is also re-
port, that the Governor of Afghan-Turkestan
has opened direct negotiations with Russia and
it is asserted that in this course he had the per-
mission of the Ameer, but this is doubted.

1t has been common thing, saws the

1t has been common thing, says the
New York Times, ''for persons to joke
about the alleged common practice OF
farmers to water the milk which they
send to market. AS proof that some
milk dairymen are sensitive in regard to
their reputation, the case of New York
farmer named King, of Fulton county,
might be cited. This poor man was
charged two years ago with the offense
of watering his milk. He was innocent,
bat the disgrace of the charge SO preyed
upon his mind that he became insane
soon after, and having suffered much
from dependency for all this time he
recently destroyed his life. 1t may be e

physician asserts, when people slaked
their thirst with fresh water from we'll
