PARIS, Nov. 1.-The animosity felt by

LONDON, Nov. L. Early this morning the
top floor of the prince of Wales residence
was discovered on fire. An alarm was
promptly rung, and soon the greatest ex-
citement prevailed. An hour later tho

of the flames was visible several miles

the Great Eastern Railway company by
special train. The second and third floors
were Quilted and their contents destroyed.
The lower rooms we're greatly damaged by

is estimated at G15,O0O. The prince and

BurTE, Nov. 1.--[Special. IA fatal acci-
dent occurred about two o'clock this after
noon at the Parrot mine, by which Dennis
Sullivan last his life. In company with his
partner, Mike Murphy, he was drilling a
hole in preparation for q blast on the 800
feet level and about 800 fest from the sta
tioa. Whom tho two men were ready to
use the powder Sullivan started after u auf-
tioient quantity of the explosive. which was
stored in a cut in the drift about 100 feet
east of the place where the men were work.
ing. Sullivan had bsen gone on his errand
but few moments when a terrific explo-
sion occurred. There was scene of the
widest excitement, but the lives of three
other men working in the same drift wsre
saved by tho cool head of Superintendent
Tibbey, who heard the noise of the explo-
sion and cut off the supply of air in other
parts of the mine and sent it all down on
to the 500 foot level. But for his prompt
action there would have been four dead
mon instead of one. The terrific concus-
sion caused by the explosion of the twenty
five pounds of giant powder, which the un-
fortunate man had in his hands. demol-
ished the timbering of the drift and the

usual means of egrsss.
Beside the man Murphy, who was waiting
for the powder, there were two other
miners, James Smith and Frank Wallace,
who were working at the face of the drift,
about 200 feet further east from the spot
where it was intended to make the blast.
The positions of the mon for time we're
extremely hazardous. The explosion
caused suffocating condition of the air.
They tried to crawl over tho obstruction
which lay between them and the station,
but so much dirt and rock had fallen that
this Was impossible, and they wore obliged
to retreat to the further end
of the drift and climb by means
Of ladders up the slopes to the
400-foot level. While they were thus en-
deavoring to escape. they would have surely
suffocated had it not been for the liberal
quantities of fresh air which was pumped
down to them.
1t was several hours before Sullivan's
body was found. His head had been
blown completely off, and his right arm
was found some feet from the body. Not a
particle of clothing was left except his
boots, and the force of the explosion was
SO great that the body was terribly man
gled.

TROUBLED by CHEYENNEs.

Indians Depredations.

Custer County Stock,nen Complain of the
Indians Depredations.
MILES CRY. Nov. L. Especial. j. The
Stock Growers Journal, in leading arti-
Gle, says the fact that the Cheyenne Indians
are rustling horses for their bands has been
again demonstrated. J. II. Mckay has just
recovered one of his line Hambletonian
colts with its cars split as an Indian brand.
One of MoKay's riders has found another
young colt tied to an Indian mare for the
purpose no doubt Of teaching it to follow
that mare. 1t is reported also that two of
Joseph Scott's horses are in use by the
Cheyennes, one of them with the brand
changed to the tribal brand-the antelope
head. The journal quotes these instances
as showing that the practice of rustling
colts and horses is becoming all too comm on
in the neighborhood of the Cheyenne
| reservation. 1t calls upon the Board Of
Live Stock commissioners to put stock
inspector on the Tongue river with instruc-
tions and authority to find and take up
such American horses as the Indians have
run into their bunches and to arrest guilty
Indians if evidence can be found.
The general land office has ordered the
to make final proof on entries made within
the bounds of the Cheyenne reservation.
The Journal says: 1t is q matter of dollars
and cents to the settlers and horse owners
of Tongue river and Lame Deer to have an
inspector stationed at the Cheyenne agency,
and to the Indians it is a means of self-pre-
servation. The settlers claim to have sub
mitted to about all human endurance can
be called upon to stand, and if the pro-
lection is not accorded them they may
take tho solutien of the Indisn problem in
that locality into their own hands, and
with the advantage of a title to the lands
upon which they live. the continuation Of
Indians surrounding them and levying
tribute upon their cattle and horses will be
thing of but short duration.
The settlers want to get rid of the Indians
and the acts of the Indians might furnish
the pretext for active measures to rid them
selves of them. In the interest of peace and
quiet and for the protection of life and
property, it is considered absolutely neoes-
sary that the board of stock commissioners
station IN inspector at the agency who shall
endeavor to deal with the Indians as they
would enleavor to deal with white men who
were rustlng horses. The difficulty Of de-
tectng the individual Indians engaged in
the work of building up the Cheyenne
horse herds is held to be no excuse for fur
ther delay in the matter; the recovery of
the horses is Che first matter and the pun
ishment of the thief secondary. The fact
that they cannot retain horses that have
been rustled will lessen the practice of
ruatling and the possibility OF punishment
will have wholesome effect

BOTH SIDES HOPEFUL.

Democrats and Republicans Working
Like Beavers for Iowa.
DEs MoINEa, Iowa, Nov. 1.-The politi-
clans have not been able to keep the Sab
bath day FREQ from politics. The election
WAS the sole subject of public attention.
Anxiety over the outcome has never been
80 intense. Both parties have organiza-
tions that will reach every precinct in the
state. The vote in cities like Des Moines
will probably be the fullest ever
cast. Instances are frequent in
which voters temporarily hundreds of miles
from home have been sent for at the ex-
pense of the campaign funds. Both parties
are very hopeful. The Farmers alliance
(the Ocala faction) is maintaining it's cam
paign with considerable tenaoity. Their
candidate, Westfali, estimates his vote at
from $4,000 to 10000. Republicans and
democrats concede him not to exceed 15.G00.
The legislature is a matter of much specu-
lation by both parties. The alliance men
are beginning to assert that they will sue
coed in scouting the balance of power.
