LAID WASTE BY A FIRE
Houses, Fences, Cattle and
 Crops Burned.
PRAIRIE FIRES IN KANSAS
Rooks County, Kansas, Visited by Great Prairie Fires that Sweep the Sur face Clcan-Farmers Lose
 All Hut tho Land.

ArcHIsoS Kan, March 26.--A dispatch from Rocks County says the prairie fires which swept over that section Saturday night and Sunday have been stopped. The burnt district covers many square miles, and within 1t there is scarcely habitation standing. Fences arc gone, houses, barns, granaries and feed were burned. Some stock escaped bat the most of 1t, especial. ly the hogs, were burned The loss of stock, ho wever, was not as great as 1t might have been, as most everything on hoof had been shipped out of the county.
 The houses and barns, too, are not great loss, as they were of cheap character, many of them dug outs, and they can easily be replaced. Much of the corn. especially that which was lying on the ground, was not touched by the fire, as the wave of flame seemed to sweep over 1t, burning only foot or two into the piles. As far as can be ascertained at present no lives were lost. ]. A. Church, of Marvin, on the North Solomon, thirty miles north of Stockton, in a letter, says that on Monday forenoon he followed the track of fire which ravaged the section a distance of twenty miles. Houses, horses, cattle, hogs and thousands of tons of feed were do. stroyed. A strong wind was blowing, driv- ing the fire, and the farmers could do nothing but put out back fires to save their places Whether this was continuation of the Rocks County fire is not known.

 THE TRIPLE ALLIANCE,
Austria Fears Bismarck's Resignation
 wui SeriousIy AFect It.

VIENNA, March 25.--Tt is reported here that Count kalnoky. tho Imperial Primo Minister, has suggested that conference be held between Emperor William, Elm. peror Francis Joseph and King Humbert as the only means of allaying tho anxiety pre- vailing in Austria and Italy in regard to the situation arising from Prince Bis march's resignation It is hoped that Emperor William will agree to attend such conference, and that he will bring with him Gen. von Caprivi, the new Chancellor. Count Kalnoky and Sig Crispi the Italian Prime Minister, would also be present at the conference in case Chancellor Von Caprivi attended.
 The Austrian Government considers that Emperor Williams declination to attend such a conference would cause trouble and uneasiness throughout Europe. Especially would this be the case in the Balkan States, in regard to which 1t is reported that the Governments of Russia and Germany arc tending to an agreement at the expense of Bulgaria
 Tho Tageblatt says that the interview be tween Emperor William and Emperor Joseph, which was originally fixed to take place during the coming autumn, will occur much earlier, owing to Emperor Williams s desire to explain the situation arising from Prince Bismarck's retirement to the Emperor of Austria.

SLOWLY BY DEGREES.

The City Bond Election Will Probably
Take Place Next FAN.
There was no meeting of the City Trus-
tees yesterday, as the ordinance calling an
election to submit to the people the ques-
ton as to whether or not the city should
issue bonds for the purposes of street i'm
provement was not in condition to be
passed upon by the Board.
City Attorney Hart, who drew up the
ordinance. said he had submitted it to the
Improvement Association, and Senator
Dray of that body referred it Judge Catlin
to examine. Mr.. Catlin made some
changes in the wording, and sent it back
to Mr.. Drav, who then referred it Judge
Holl. The latter had en- objection to urge,
and consequently the ordinance was not
yet in proper shape to be brought up for
action.
Mr.. Hart stated, however, that by Mon
day next, on which day the Board holds its
regular weekly meeting. the ordinance
would be ready. 1t will have to be read
but once, and then published for ten days.
At the expiration of that time the election
call will have to be advertised fifteen times,
SO that it will be after the Fourth of July
before the question will be submitted to
the people,
