Boston, May S.-A story of extreme dis.

Passengers seventy-five Islanders of both

been made Tor a passenger, and the people

was not enough food for half the

AN EARLY MORNING BLAZE.
A Grocery Store and Saloon Burned
Down at Daylight,

At 3:3O O'Clock this morning the one-story
frame structure at the northwest corner oj
Park and Wyoming streets vas discovered
to be in flames, and ha'f-an-hour later it
was completely gutted.
The fire originated in a rear apartment
OF he grocery store on the corner, occupied
by j. d. Fox, and an alarm was at once
raised, but the usual delay in getting water
ON the flames gave the blaze a
headway which resulted disas-
trously. Almost the entire stock
OF the grocery store was consumed,
and a portion OF the stock OF liquors car
ried by Tommy Rogan, in the adjoining
store, was also destroyed.
The building was owned by Mr.. Fox, and
was worth about $500. 1t was uninsured.
Mr.. Fox's stock of goods was valued at
$4,000, and was insured for $1,000.
Tommy Rogan estimates his loss at 5000.
Immediately in rear of the destroyed
stood the palatia bagnio of Mollie

Some of the male lodgers in
Di Murska 3 made a rather undignified exit,

Another Frustrated Burglary.

Burglarjes are becoming unpleasantly
frequent in Butte, and arrests for the crime
are disgustingly few. Last evening an inef-
fectual attempt to burgle a room in one of
the PARK street blocks was made. The
gentleman who occupies the room went to
bed rather early, and was awakened by
the noise made by the marauding intruders,
who attempted to gain entrance to his
room, and frightened them away. Follow
ing a usual custom, he had, before retiring
for the night, placed a chair against the
door, resting under the knob The door
was also bolted. The burglars had sue
cessfully thrown back the bolt. but in try

WASHINGTON, May 9.-The Post to-
morrow will publish an interview with
Hon. sackville West, the British Minister,
in regard to the seizure OF the United States
fishing vessel adams" by the Canadian
authorities, in which he says: II have had
no official correspondence on the fisheries
question this year. You see. this matter
is in the hands of the Dominion authori-
ties at it's present stage. They correspond
directly with the Colonial office in London,
and it is not until some action is taken by
the Imperial Government that should be
called upon to act in the matter
with the United States. I don't ap-
prehend that this question is going
to cause any serious difference
between the two countries. OF course, the
seizure of the "Adams" at Digby will in-
crease the unpleas .ntness which is felt on
both sides. Everything might have been
avoided had Cong. ess taken the advice OF
the Administration and appointed comm's-
sioner. to INQUIRE into the whole dispute,
but il has chosen not to d., SO, led by Sen
ator FRY who does not seem 10 care what

OF 1871, and it has submitte nothlng,
leaving it to fall upon the miserable Ola

has been retrogression in this matter, and
we are now acting under a treaty made
sixty ago. The q"fStaiSHn aSe 4rs@ts
The Canadians may Interpret it one
