Queen Victoria Pronounces Foreign ReIa
ations in Satisfactory Condition.

LONDON. Aug. 19.-Parliment was pro-
rogued yesterday. The queens speech
was read by the lord chancellor. Ii says
that the relations of her majesty's govern
ment with the foreign powers continue to
be pacific. Friendly attention has been
called to the inconvenience which might
arise from possible conflict over terri
torial claims in Africa. Therefore the
queens government was negotiating with
| the powers mainly concerned with the pur-
pose of defining the boundries within
which the action of the respective govern
ment should be confined. The argument
with Germany closing the most difficult Of
these questions was completed. and her
majesty's ministers laid before parliament
the history of the negotiations which
had resulted in the cession of Heligoand
to Germany. The speech then announces
the arrangements with France whereby
the French Algerian territory is separated
from that of the British Nigar company.
The agreement of a British pretectorate
over Zanzibar and the placing of the Mad
agascar under the protection of the French
is also explained With. regard TO the
Bebring sea complications. her majesty in
forms parliament that she offered to submit
them to arbitration TOR settlement. The
speech states the case of the Newfound
land and French fisheries dispute is one
which is occupying the anxious attention
of the government

unarmed detachment Of the Spanish
garrison cutting wood in the forest:
Of the Spaniards one lieutenant and
twenty-seven sol Iiiers were killed, the
rest escaping. Two boat load of troops

they were compelled to retire. A man
of-war has been ordered out to sea.
WITH every hour the gravity of
the situation created by the great
railroad strike in Wales increases.
Last evening matters looked so serious
that the police of a number of Welsh
towns were summoned to the assistance
of the municipal authorities of Cardiff.
The response to the call has been prompt
and during the entire night officers have
been focking into the city. The military
are also under arms and are perfecting
arrangements to protect the railroad prop
erty and to enable the officials to run
their trains. As yet, however. no overt
act has been committed b the strikers.

Mr.. TELLER introduced Il new silver bill
in the shape of an amendment to the bill to
discontinue the coinage of S3 and 81 gold
pieces and Scent nickel pieces. The bill
differs from the law principally in that it
requires continued monthly coinage OF
1000, 600 OF. of silver into standard dollars
and strikes out the provision that the rate
of coinage shall be until July l, 81. only
it does away with the discretion given to
the secretary of the treasury to redeem the
treasury notes issued in the payment OF
bullion. either in gold or silver, and pro-
vides for free coinage of silver when the
market price of S7l.25 grains reaches one
dollar.

Is DESTROYED RY FLAMES.
A DistilIery and Contents Valued at
100000

LOUISVILLE, Aug. l4.-lhe immense
| distillery of the Kentucky Distilling com
pany, is now on fire with indications that
it will be totally destroyed In the ware
house are 10000 barrels of whisky, all of
which will be lost. The whisky is valued
at $500, 900, and the buildings will run
this loss up 500, 900 more at least.
At p. m. the distillery building proper
was doomed and the caLtlo sheds were also
burning. Tie warehouse is gone and
thousands of barrels of liquor are feeding
the blaze that now and then seems to
pierce the clouds. All the fire engines in
the city are throwing water on the prop
erty in the neighborhOOd.
The distilley property consisted of the
immense diStillery, containing machinery,
extending back from the street $50 feet.
The lower part was of frame, while the
front was of brick and three stories In
height. Ea st of the office and adjoining
1t were two large warehouses. in which
were stored $4,000 barrels of whisky.
These buildings were entirely
of brick three stories high, $50 feet deep
and about 100 feet wide. 1t was here that
the fire started, and was caused by the
carelessness of a negro who smashed a
lamp while endeavoring to get out a leak
ing barrel
The warehouses were next to the largest
in Louisville The distillery proper
was 94x3315 feet, and to this had been
built two additions. All these buildings
are destroyed, while the flames are still
burning ferceIy. A rough estimate made
of the loss puts it at 100000. 1t was
most, if not entirely, covered by insnr-
ance As the building has not been in
operation for some time, nothing will be
lost by the delay in starting up.
1t was o'clock before the firemen got
control, and this was not until the immense
warehouse distillery proper, cattle sheds
and slaughter house and pork packing
establishment of Conrod & Seller adjoin-
ing had been completely destroyed. The
pork packing company's loss will be $50
900. The total loss to the Kentucky dis
tilling company is estimated at $500, 900.
This is irrespective of the loss to the
COVER nment in unpaid taxes of ninety
cents a gallon, which will amount to
1891 ,635 making total loss by fire not
much less than s2,000.0O0. The in
su-ance is roughly placed at 100000.

BERLIN, Aug. l9 While Europe is
awaiting in deep anxiety the result OF

Petersburg that shows how slender is tn.
hope of continued peace. The journals OF
the Russian capital publish IS order arti-
cles efuslHely welcoming Emperor

ty OF his peaceful professions. They tell
hlm. however, that Vienna is the place
where 1t should operate, seeing that the
treaty of Berlin has been violated

pIclty of Austria. And he
Is plainly told that Russia will accept no
solution of the Bulgarian question which
Is not IN conformity with that treaty.
This means that Russia will insist on
Prince Ferdinand clearing. out thing
which could not be done without reSiS-
tstnce, which would inevitably neceSSitate
the intervention of Russian army and a
probable conflict with Austria. The new
Greek minister of war emphasizes this
hint by insisting that the peace effective

Every time that combination of manu-
factuers is formed to control the output

port comes that an English syndicate

Two Dangerous Prisoners Make Their Es-
cape and One is Killed.

FLORENCE. Wis, Aug. l9.-Last night,
while Deputy Sheriff George H. keyes
was going into the county Jail to give the
prisoners their supper, he was overpowered
by three of them, who met him in the
doorway with blanket and threw ii over
his head. They also hit him on the head
with Il lamp and their fists.
Thinking they had Keyes dazed by their
blows the prisoners made for the door, and
Frank Burke, who was in for raDbing
freight cars on the Northwestern road,
and Joe Wiley, for robbing Simons hard
ware store, succeeded in making their
escape.
keyes pulled the blanket from his head
and started in pursuit. Driscoll, who was
in for stabbing lumberman some time
ago, was in the rear. and Keyes fired after
him and succeeded in hitting him in the
breast. Driscol fell and was captured
Keyes then fred after the others, and thinks
he hit Wiley. DrIscol died during the
night.
Last night was rainy and dark, and
Burke and Wiley may escape. The affair
causes great excitement Keyes is well
known as a courageous officer, and the
shooting under the circumstances was JUS
tifable.
