THE FORT DE FRANCE FIRE.
Particulars of the COnfagratIon in tn
Isle of Martinique.

Particulars of the COnflagratIOn in the
Isle of Martinique.
PoRT OF SPAIN, June 27.-Details con-
cerning the destruction of the town of
Fort de France, in the French island Of
Martinique, have just been received.
Immediately after the catastrophe, Gov
ernor Casse, of Martinique, sent an ap-
peal for assistance to the governor of
Trinidad, Sir William Robinson, assur-
ing him that three-quarters of the town
had been burned, and that more than
5000 persons were without homes and
food. Aid was at once sent. The fire
occurred June 22d. Steamers were sent
from st. Pierre to help fight the fire,
but arrived too late to be of much as
sistance. Seventeen hundred houses
were destroyed, valued at $780,
900, and furniture, etc., valued at $780,
OO0 in all 100000. 1t is impossible at
this moment to tell the number OF VIC
tins. Twelve bodies have been recOv-
cred, many charred beyond recognition,
and the others fearfully mutilated. Fiji
teen soldiers are receiving attendance at
the hospital. Many were seriously, and
one fatally, wounded. A number OF CIV
ilians were wounded considerably Fully
three-quarters of the town was destroyed,
and seven-eighths of the inhabitants
rendered homeless. Among the public
buildings destroyed are the poor house,
cathedral, custom house, town hall, Con-
vent de st. Joseph, Bureau des Revues,
Inspection Legenie, slaughter house, and
the Usine Pointe Simon, celebrated
library, was also destroyed. The various
British West Indian islands have
promptly aided with grants of money
their afflicted sister colony.

America.

Capital.

Naval Circles.

Cabinet-The Great Fire in
Martinique.
Associated Press Dispatches. |

NEW YORK, July 10.-The World
prints the following from Yokohama !:
Seoul has been occupied by American
marines and Corea is now virtually in
the hands of Americans. The un-
easiness in English and Russian naval
circles, which was SO pronounced as to
render every one on the alert for for
night past, is just explained in an un-
expected way. Instead of the Russians
having occupied Corea, as was generally
supposed when British ships began to
puff into the harbor, the United States
steamer Swatara, lying off Chemulpo,
sent her officers and marines to
Seoul. They are now living
in the kings palace. Admiral
Belknap was appealed to by the king for
protection, and he promptly gave it.
Commander MCGOWAN and his staff are
feasting with the king and his two
American advisers, Denny and General
Legendre. The Swatara lies off the city
flying the stars and stripes, and develop
ments are anxiously watched for. The
American naval authorities here have
taken great responsibility, and there is a
probability that if the internal trouble
takes a serious turn, they will have to
fight their way out of the country.

A Good Glass of Hollanders Settling in
California.
New York, July10.-'I am on my way
to California to make myself a home" :"
said Elbert Van Boartens, from Roster

year preparations have been making to

Merced county, California, The first
step was the formation of the Holland
California Land Company, incorporated

gated land in Merced county, and this
land is divided into parcels of twenty
five acres. These lands, which produce
alfalfa, vines, orchard fruits and so on,
are only sold to Hollanders, and
cost them $175 per acre. The class
of immigration is rather different from
anything in history. The poorest man

sixtyfour others, and had $4,000 cash.

week with about forty others, in a spe-

to take out our first papers. There is
not one among us who will not make a
frst-class citizen, or whose character at

are no cripples, no imbeciles, no pau

gramme for the Rest of the Session.
WASHINGTON, July 10.-A caucus of
the Republican senators to arrange a
programme for the disposition of bust
ness during the remainder of the session
is probable. The real point at issue is
whether or not the national election bill
shall be considered this session. 1t is
tacitly understood that if adherence
is given by the majority, that this meas
ure shall not be pushed. No factious
opposition will be interposed to the
speedy disposition of the tariff bill, the
river and harbor bill and remaining ap-
preparation bills, and adjournment at an
early day. The caucus is to undertake
to decide whether an arrangement
of this kind shall be made. Several
propositions, intended to meet the emer-
gency in the case of any gerrymandering,
have been canvassed. The latest plan is
to proceed under the existing rules to
transact such business as the majority
may see fit to undertake. When meas
ure has, in the judgment of the majority,
been debated to reasonable extent, the
senator in charge of the measure is to
move the adoption of the report (involv-

Alden's Manifold Cyclopedia.

The appearance of the twentieth
volume of the Manifold Cyclopedia" is
of interest not only on account of the
great value of it's contents, but also be-
cause it marks the completion of the
first half of this important work. These
twenty volumes make goodly library.
They are wonderfully comprehensive,
clear in their treatment of topics, and
are in remarkably convenient form for
use. The complete work of forty
volumes will be simply invaluable. The
range of the present volume is from
Infant to Joppa. Among the large num-
ber of topics worthy of special mention
we notice Infant, in Law; Infamma-
ton; Influenza: lnfusoria, Insects,
nearly pages; Insolvency; Inspiration
Instinct; Insurance, 15 pages Interest,
including valuable tables of the interest
laws OF the various states International
Law; Interoceanic Ship Canal, over 4
pages; Interoceanic Ship Railway; In
terstate Traffic on Railroads; Inunda-
tions; Iron, over 20 pages; jacquard
Loom; Jews, over 81 pages; Iowa has
pages; and there is an interesting
sketch of Johnstown, Pa, including the
terrible disaster of 1889, which is good
illustration of how close to date cyclo-
pedia can be and needs to be brought.
Among the foreign nations fully treated
are Ireland, Italy, Japan, Java; also the
city of Jerusalem; Biographies of many
noted men appear, among them three
presidents of the United States-Andrew
Jackson, Thomas Jefferson and Andrew
Johnson. The extremely low price
places within easy reach of the reading
public this cyclopedia, which of all
works OF the kind is much the best
adapted to their needs. Specimen pages

LONDON POSTMEN.
The Strike Movement Not Proving a
Great Success.


LONDON, July notwithstanding
the fact that the Postmen's Union de-
cided last night that strike should be
inaugurated today unless the "black-
legs" in the employ of the postoffice
were dismissed, the carriers as a body
this morning resumed their duties, their
leaders having advised them that the
present was not an opportune time to
attempt to enforce their demands. A
small number of malcontents did not
report for duty. The postoffice authori-
ties state that they have applications
from men desiring positions, sufficient
to fill all vacancies.
Two hundred parcels postmen have
been dismissed. A number of non-union
postmen are working with the union
postmen. The non-unionists are pro-
tectedb by policemen. The union post
men seem to be weakening. The deliv-
cry of letters in few sections was sus-
pended this morning. In other sections
deliveries were delayed twelve hours.

The board Of public works yesterday
took trip about the city to investigate
certain matters brought before it by pc
tition. The first place visited was Mo-
zart street, where grading has been COM
menced. Owing to some objection on
the part of the property-owners it was
decided to stop work when the sub
grade has been completed, until con-
ference between the property-holders
has been held and some agreement
reached.
The board then visited the forty acres
which DR.. Griffin desires to dispose of to
the city for park purposes. A drive
was taken around the land and then the
board drove out to Hope street, between
Seventeenth and Eighteenth streets,
where the property-owners desire to
grade. 1t was decided to grant the
request.

THE SOUTH'S RESPONSE.
The Administration Rebuked by the Pee
pie of Alabama and Kentucky.

The Administration Rebuked by the Peo
pie of Alabama and Kentucky.
The course of the Republican party in
Congress has thoroughly soliditied the
Democratic party, if we may judge by
the elections held in Alabama and in
Kentucky the other day.
Reports from Alabama show in
creased Democratic majorities from all
sections, with the Republicans con-
trolling scarcely county in the State.
In Kentucky the Democratic majority
is far ahead of any thing known in re-
cent years The majority for General
Buckner three years ago is increased
125 per cent; that given for Cleveland
in 1888 is increased so per cent Even
rock-ribbed Republican counties, just
now penetrated by railroads and en-
lightened by the Courier-Journal, join
the Democratic ranks.
These returns indicate the feeling
aroused among the people by the revo-
lutionary methods of the Republican
leaders. Men who have never voted
with the Democrats on any issue see
that the republican party is a sectional
organization. ready to sacrifice every
interest in the South TO some temporary
party necessity. They see the hope
lessness of trying to build up the Re-
publican party in the face of such tao
tics, and so they cast in their lot with
their neighbors and friends.
This is the first response of the peo-
pie to the challenge of Reed, Mckinley
and Davenport Now for the Congress
