A DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.
Burning of Huge Freight Depot and Build
ing Belonging to Chemical Works

ALBANY, N. Y, March 1.--This city was Wis
tied o-day by one of the most de-
strnctive fires in many years. The fire
originated in the eastern end of the huge
frame freight house of the Albany & Susque-
hanna Railroad Company which was used also
by the West Shore company. The flames spread
with frightful rapidity, and it was feared
that the whole southern portion of the
city would be destroyed. The tiremen
worked admirably under many disadvantages,
the water mains being insufficient in size to furn-
ish good supply of water. The dying
out Of a strong south wind and
the setting in of a heavy rain soon
after undoubtedly saved much property. The
well filled with freight, was totally
destroyed, with fifteen loaded freight
cars, and about forty cars were damaged The
West Shore owned most of the freight and the
Delaware Sc Hudson Canal Company the
greater part of the cars. The loss Of each of
those companies is 600.
The Albany aniline and chemical works,
west building) adjoining the depot, was almost
entirely destroyed; the east building not dam
aged. The loss is about 1925, 900; insured
for $50, 600. The company will continue manu-
featuring in the east building.
1t is not known how the fire originated. The
burned district embraces several acres. During
the fire many loud explosions occurred, caused
by bursting tanks of benzo.e and nitro benzole

THE WAR IN EGYPT.
A Feeling of Relief Over the Assured Safety
of Buffers Force.

of Buffers Force
LONDON, Feb. 2s-There is an intense feeling
of relief throughout England at the now assured
safety of General Buffers troops. Special tele-
grams have been received in London tonight
from Mr. Charles Williams correspondent of
the London Chronicle, which prove that the es-
cape of the British column from humiliation
was almost miraculous. The courage of the
men, their splendid behavior in times of extreme
danger and their perfect discipline were the ele
ments which safely carried General Buffers
little army back to Gakdul. General Woseley
has decided to hold the Korti- Gakdul route. He
believes that by adopting these tactics he can
prevent the Mahdi from attempting an advance
on Korti by way of Abu Klea and Gakdul, even
were the latter inclined to attempt such a
move which is however doubtful. With the best
marck's policy of opposition to the Pope were
continued. The Grown Prince said:
1T would be very unwise to arouse tho hostil-
ity of the Catholic delegates to the Reichstae.
and now is the moment for moderation Be-
sides, Prince Bismarck, as he gets older, is get
ting more arrogant. He lends himself with
eager complaisance to sort of dedication that
his admirers are preparing for him on the LIST of
April, the occasion of his SEVENTEEN birthday
1t is now high time that all this fictitious en-
thusiasm that the admirers of Prince Bismarck
raise about him personally should be discour-
aged. Everybody, in fact calls the Chancellor

The Kaiser listened in silence to this spirited
protest, but afterward informed the Crown
Prince, rather colby, that he would think the
matter over carefully.

THE PRUssIAN CROWN PRINCE.
He Champions the Cause of the Pope ant
Opposes Bismarck.


LONDON, Feb. 28.--As is well known, there
has been for long time a complete deadlock be-
tween the Pope and Prince Bismarck on the
question of the education of the clergy in Prus-
STA. Neither the Pontif nor the Chancellor
would yield one iota Of vantage ground, but the
Crown Prince, who recalls the cordial reception
rendered him by the Pope in December, 1883,
urges the Kaiser to compromise by letting the
Pope have his own way about the education of
the clergy, but to accept as return for this con-
cession the resignation OF Cardinal I4edochowski
Archbishop of Posen. Prince Bismarck, Oh Feb
%, pressed the Kaiser to be firm and to yield
nothing. The Crown Prince proceeded to the
palace soon after Prince Bismarck left and told
the Emperor he would resign his Office as presi-
dent OF the Prussian Council of State if Bis
