BERLIN, September THE approach
OF the opening Of the final session of the
Reichstag is causing all parties to ask
what form of policy the Government is
likely to take on which to 60 before the
country. The semi-official press affords
no special indication. Prince Bismarck
is obviously awaiting the results of the
French elections If the present Gov
eminent is go materially weakened as to
make Boulangerism an important factor
of the French policy, we are certain to
hear the war drum beat as in '87, and
there will be renewal of appeals to the
patriotic to support further military bur-
dens, even if Carnot be secured in
power.
Prince Bismarck appears TO be prepar.
ing to give prominence to social reforms,
Bills dealing with strikes and measures
aiming to protect the poorer classes
against undue interest on loans, and
LEGISLATION generally in favor of the work
ing classes will play leading part in The
coming session, both of the Reichstae
and Landtag, as preliminary to forming
plank in the election platform. Mean
while military expansion involves de-
mand in the Reichstag for credit o.
60 ,000, 600 marks.
The temper Of the Foreign Office
toward Russia is growing worse. The
Czar's treatment of Emperor William
continues to embitter the relations
between the two countries. The semi
official press lie permitted or instructe
to speak with notable frankness and
severity. The Hamburg Correspondence,
in an undoubtedly inspired article says
Germany must accept the fact of thu
permanent hostility Of the Gear. The
Chancellor being convinced of the
Cars lasting enmity will cease hi
delicate and cautious treatment o
Russia and henceforth frankly treat
st. Petersburg as he treats Paris"
The paper approves the entente will
England and dieapproves the idea OF Civ
ing free scope to Russia outside of Eu
rope.
The rumors that Empress Augusta hal
become Catholic are baseless.
The crews of the German men-of-wa
Adler and Eber, wrecked in the Samot
hurricane, have arrived at Kiel. Prince
Henry, in an address, told them the!
had nobly performed their duty il
Samoa, showing themselves brave som
of the Fstherlsnd. He welcomed then
in the name of the Emperor who, b,
said, loved every truly brave man as hi
own son. The Prince afterwards gave
dinner in honor of the men.

Railroad Disaffection,

CHICAGO, September THE Rock
Island road gave formal notice today that
it would decline to recognize the action
of the Western States Passenger Associ-
alton at its meeting, Thursday in placing
the affairs of the association in the hands
of a Secretary. General Manager st..
John takes the ground that the election
of the Jecretary was not valid, because it
was not effected by an unanimous vote,
and he announced that his company will
continue to recognize John N. Abbott as
Acting Chairman of the association. This
is the same position taken by General
Manager Egan, of the Chicago, st. Paul
and Kansas City road.

attempting to commit suicide by going
over Horseshoe falls. In defense Brodie
said he did not attempt to commit
suicide by going over the falls, but to
show the world that the trip could be
made. The Police Magistrate said he
did not believe Brodie went over the
falls at all, that the whole thing was q
humbug, if he did not go over to say 80
and he would discharge him. Brodie
said in that case he would say he did
not 60 over, but declined to make affi-
davit to that effect, saying he was a
Catholic and could not perjure himself.
The magistrate then bound him over in
bonds OF $500 to keep the laws of the
Dominion for one year, and especially
that relating to attempts to go over the
falls. Brodie signed the document on
his own recognizance, and imme diately
made for the American side.

The Fire still Raging.


ANTWERP, September THE fire is
still raging. All efforts of the firemen,
assisted by the military and populace. to
quell it have 80 far proved unavailing.
The docks and shipping are untouched

ously. A judicial inquiry has been or
dered.
deaths by yesterdays disaster will not
exceed 16O. Two hundred and fifty per-
sons were seriously and 300 slightly in
jured. Firemen and troops worked
through the entire night on hourly
shifts. Many succumbed to the fierce
heat.
The work is now entirely confined to
keeping the fire from spreading beyond
the factories within the drydock. The
wind continues favorable. Six million
litres of petroleum are in flames.
The oil, it is expected, will continue to
burn at least until Monday. At the mo-
ment of the explosion many workmen
jumped into the river Scheldt and we're
drowned. A number of sailors and GUS

ships by flying bullets and the ships were
well riddled by the missiles. 1t is esti-
mated that 1000 tons of cartridges ex-
ploded. The noise was heard thirty
miles. The smoke which filed the air
was thicker than that of great battle.
Human heads and other parts of bodies
we're found half a mile away. One
hundred and thirty whole corpses lie in
the morgues and charred heaps of
human remains represent an unknown
number of dead. The populace watched
the flames all night. The noise of ex-
ploding barrels Of oil and falling ruins
exactly resembled the sounds of battle.
Those who have been deprived of their
homes by fire are encamped upon the
river banks. The water works, which
cost ESQ, 900, are three parts destroyed.
The Minister of the Interior has Wis.,
tied the scene of the explosion. The

One OF Iryinc's Stories,

Henry Irving tells this story: A haber-
dasher in London had joined the Junior Gar
rick club and become inoculatcd with the idea
Of going on the stage. So he sold out his
shop, reserving an ample supply Of under
wear, and invested tie proceeds to eke out
his salary as an actor In time, his grand
dreams of surprising Kean and Kemblo hav-
ing departed, he was humble utility man at
the Theatre Royal, Manchester. But his in
vested money gave him income enough to
provide Christmas eve supper for his asso-
ciatss at the theatre.
One of them hesitated to accept because
the weather was so cold and his clothing was
so thin and worn. Before the supper the ex-
haberdasher pushed this poor fellow into q
bedroom, saying, "There's a little present for
you in herel" 1t was suit Of warm woolen
underclothing. Fancy this poor actors feel

his heart equally warm, he took his place at
