astonished the community by jumping
through a window. He was cap

LONDON, Sept. S.-Queen Natalie has
decided to seek counsel in her troubles
Of the Car, and is going to
st. Petersburg to lay her case before
his majesty and confer with him
AS to the best plan of procedure in her
difficulty. The Czarina, it is understood,
has taken the part of the Queen, and
lsed her offices with the Gar to in
1uce him to exert his influence in her be-
half 1t is thought the Gar viii be able
to shield Queen Natalie from the dis
grace of her husbands prosecution OF
his divorce. King Milan is bending
every energy TO Prove the charge that
the Queen has been guilty of gross VIC

tered into a plot to murder him. 1t is
expected that the trial will be the most
scandalous in the history OF modern
Europe.
The Partisan journals continue to COM
ment on the Canadian fisheries treaty
imbroglio in the United States and the
Dominion. The more influential French
journals exhibit more profound and
growing interest in this question than
they have for long time past manifest
ed in relation to TRANSATLANTIC
affairs. The general sentiments ex-
pressed are philosophical and calm, and
are opposed to the belief that more
dangerous complications may grow out
Of the situation. The Temps says to-
day that the message of the president is
an electoral document Of q more clever
than serious character, and was issued
to compel the American Senate to as
sumo the responsibility for the COM
mencement of policy of reprisals or
beat a retreat; but it is evident.
that journal continues, that
neither the President nor the
American Senate would care to engage
in a war with England. La Liberte says
the most curious part of the whole affair
is that the "semi-iron1cap' message has
been received with such good humor.
A dispatch from Berlin to-day says
that although it was commonly supposed
before the Emperor Frederick's death
that the young Prince William, the
present emperor, and Prince Bismarck,
were always in perfect accord and on
much more familiar and friendly footing
than characterized the relations existing
between Frederick and the Chancellor,
it has been obvious for some time past
that the position of Prince Bismarck un-
der the new emperor has been much
more trying and difficult than it was dur
ing the reign of his grandfather. 1t is a
fight between October and June, and
Bismarck is not disposed to much longer

The Gar and Czarina have arrived at

DESTROYED BY DYNAMITE.
The Post-office at Cutler, Ind, Literally
Blown to Sp1inters.

CUTLER, Ind, Sept At midnight,
last night, this village was startled by
the crash Of heavy explosion,
and the sound of falling tim
bers. It was found that the
postoffce had been literally blown to
pieces, not timber being left standing.
Luckily no person was in the building,
it being used exclusively as store
and postoffice. An investiga-
ton proved that dynamite was
used, and had been deliberately placed
under the building for the purpose Of
destroying it. On three former occa-
sions attempts have been made to
blow up the building, but in each in
stance failed. Last night the effort was
complete success. To-day quantity OF
dynamite and half-burned matches
were found under the hotel building,
showing an attempt to blow that up
also. A strong wind was blowing dur
ing the night, which undoubtedly foiled
the efforts TO destroy the hotel.

DEATH IN A CYCLONE.
A Terrible Storm Raging Along the At
lantic Coast.


New York, Sept. THE cyclone
which started at Cuba is threatening
destruction along the Atlantic
coast, and creating much con-
sternation. The storm is expect
ed to strike the Florida coast
to-day, and at its present rate of prog
ress will reach this city in ten
days. The highest temperature in
New York this morning was 81,
and the lowest 81 degrees There is a
big storm in Manitoba, which may come
in this direction, and much uneasiness
is felt for shipping interests.
Everybody between Boston and Jack
sonville, Fla, had better get themselves
ready to be blown away, if the
good. The cyclone started at Gu
ba on Monday, and on Tuesday
at II A. NJ. 1t had turned Havana upside
down. SiXty-one people were killed
houses were relieved of their roofs,
trees were uprooted, a gunboat found
cred and the crew drowned A giant
steam locomotive and train were upset
as though they were only silk hats.
Vessels were stove in by the tremend-
Gus seas, and then the hurricane went
whirling off into the great gulf.
This morning the storm was sighted
west of Florida's main southern extern
sion, land was travelling enthusiastically,
and ought to strike Florida to-day if it
does not change its movements.
Sergeant Dunn, of the weather bu-
reau, said this morning: "This cyclone
is very severe one, from
evidences of its power which have
been revealed to us. It will
probably strike the Atlantic coast. 1t
will be very dangerous for vessels to 90
south of Cape Hatteras during the next

SCENES IN CAMP PERRY.
Home of the Yellow Fever Refugees at
Jacksonville, Fla.

New YORK, Sept. 5.-A World CORE
spondent who visitedCamp Perry, near
Jacksonville, sends description of af-
fairs there to his paper. The camp is on
a hill, he says, a fine and airy spot, sur
rounded with pines. There are 1872 old
army tents with two stretcher cots in
each. A band Of canvas, raised on two
elevated wires, serves for pillow and a
horse rug for cover: To the men are
given a single, and to the women
double blanket each. This is
all the furniture in the tents, and as
there are two cots in each, there is no
room for more. Ninety per cent. of
these tents are leaky. The food is fair,
but the cooking wretched, and the
dining accommodations are not half
sufficient. There is very large crowd
of low negroes in camp, and loud COM
plants are made Of their being allowed
to sit at the same table as the whites.
