"A Washington special of the Goth thus

Gen. Harrison is likely to appoint. there Is
no less interest manifested in the question
as to what will become of the members of
Mr.. Clevelands official family. Mr. Bay

probably enough to live on without seek

will return very promptly to his home in
Madison. and there resume the practice Of

Dickinson will resume the practice of law
in Michigan. Mr.. Dickinson is worth in the
neighborhood Of a quarter of a million be-
sides. SO that if he were not consumed by
political ambition he might rest for the re-

FOREIGN EVENTS.

"A Shanghai dispatch OF the 18TH says:
The fire which broke out in the imperial
palace at Pekin on Jan. II is still raging.
but will be confined within its present lin
its. The loss is enormous. The palace
enclosure is a city Of itself and about a
quarter of it is in flames. The great audi
Halube works OF art is destroyed. The
treasury building and most Of its contents
are in ashes. The quarter of the palace in
which the emperor and the emperor's
mother live were saved but the panic
there was terrible. Their majesties were
hastily conveyed to village at safe dis
lance from the flames. The palace and
warehouses were heaped with costly stuffs
and of the treasures, which had been ac-
cumulated in preparation for the marriage
of the young emperor, immense quantities
were destroyed. The loss far exceeds that
of the looting of the summer palace by the
English 80 years ago. The calamity has
had depressing effect on the superstitious
Chinese. 1t is regarded as an evil omen,
having occurred in the midst of prepara-
tons for the wedding festivities OF the en-
peror. The marriage will have to be post
poned in consequence of the disaster.

and slaves at the station. The French
