STORMlNG THE PALACE.
The Fire King Sallies Forth and Makes .
 Brilliant Attack.


 ST. PAUL, Jan. 2S.-The grandest and most attractive event of the carnival so far was the storming last evening of the palace by the fire king and his force. His fiery majesty arrived in the city in the morning, and gathered his forces for the grand assault. Each of his soldiers carried full rations of pyrotechnics, and were armed with roman candle rifles and other parapher- nalia of war. They also carried blazing torches, and when the word was given the fire king, clad ill his robes of flame mounted his fiery chariot, drawn by four equally fiery steeds, and, escorted by all army of little red devils and hls glittering followers, set forth to give the ice king a roasting Tho fire kings forces arrayed themselves around the ice palace and bombarded the crystal walls with reu hot shot and shell. The battle was the occasion of grand display of pyro- technics, and the sight was one of the most beautiful it is possible to conceive
 From every tower and loophole of the crys- tai palace darted forth streams of many col ored fire, and the hissing of gorgeous rockets shooting starward was dulled by the bursting height by mortars inside the castle. The be- siegers were not idle by any means, but shot fiery darts and sheets of flame at the palace in the attempt to demoralize the defenders. The sight was one of grandeur and beauty, the gl1ttering walls of the palace refecting back with a thousand prismatic rays the glare of the pyrotechnics. The grounds of the pal ace were filled with gayly uniformed snow shoers, who imparted additional life and color to the scene.

BISMARCK'S BIG DEMAND.
THE ENGLISH PRESS ON GER.
 MANY,S MILITARY BILL.
A Van Containing S15O,OOO Worth oi Pictures Destroyed by Fire in the Streets of London-.America's Present Position and Coming Supremacy fin Art.

LONDON Jan. 2S.-The enor1-. of tho work provided for the German bill, as well as the gigantic resuits lated by the measure, completely s:. Il the English press, and their articles commenting thereon plainly indicated the dazed condition of the writers at the magnitude of the proposi- tions involved. The St. James Gazette thinks it incredible that such a demand as the bill enforces should be made upon the people if the projectors of the measure believed in the continuance of peace, and declares that the same demand suddenly made would com pletetely take away the breath of the tax paying public. Anyhow, The Gazette believes. the German empire is being gradually led to the point of stupefaction, from which it will awaken in the midst of financial disaster. Other London journals express similar views of the enormous drafts of the German reich stag upon the country, and, in scarcely less positive language, predict dire results.
 Professor Herkomer's lecture before the Royal institution was especially interesting to Americans, because of its devotion to Ameri- can art, to which the speaker paid high tribute.

 already beyond dispute.

One of the pictures was valued at e1O,OOO.
