Reported Agreements Between France
and Russia Raises the War Feeling
i'm Berlin.
English Sympathies General and Out
spoken In Favor Of the Chilian
Insurgents.
Fearful Stories OF Destitution Among
the Peasants of Mexico-C Crops q
Total Failure.

LONDON, Aug. &c. The report that
France and Russia had virtually agreed
that in the event of a victory over Ger
many they would have Schlesweig re-
annexed to Denmark, has caused consid-
cradle comment in Berlin, where the
war feeling has been mounting high for
some days past. This runner, however,
has called to the public attention other
rurinors of similar nature regarding the
triple alliance. tt was stated recently
on high authority at Vienna, that one Of
the unwritten arguments of the triple
alliance was in the event of success in q
continental war, to disable Russia for
ever by divesting the empire Of Poland
Finland and the Baltic provinces, and
compelling the czar to abandon St
Petersburg for Moscow, France at tho
same time to be compelled to give NJ
Nice and Corsica to Italy. These arrange
ments are understood to be merely pro
visional, but the fact that they arr
talked of shows the deliberate way II
which European nations are preparing
for the gigantic struggle.

They Are General and Outspoken I'm
Favor of Insurgents.
LONDON, Aug. 20. Great interest is
felt here in the pending struggle in
Chilli, as it is believed that the encoun-
ter between the forces of the two com
tending parties near Valparaiso must
lead to speedy END Of the contest.
The English interest in nitrate, OF which
Colonel North is the chief represents
tive are, and have been all along, friendly
to the insurgents, and 1t is believed that
it was through their agency that the
insurgents received the arms which
enabled them to make their present at
tack upon the centre Of Chslian territory.
English sympathy with the insurgents
is general and outspoken, and President
Balmaceda is denoupced as despot and
usurper. The expedition has been I'M
dertaken in good time, as the Presfdente
Lazarious must now be well on her way
across the Atlantic, and the Pinto is
following just as rapidly.

Fearful Story of Want Among the Peas

ESAN ANTONIO, Tex, Aug. A letter
received from Chihuahua, Mexico, gives
a fearful picture of the destitution Of

drop of rain has fallen. Land which
is usually covered with waving grass is
for miles as bare as billiard table.
The cattle have died by the thou
sand and the bones dot every hill

dry, and no water could be obtained for
irrigation. There has been total fail

Forty-two Bodies Already Recovered

CHIcAoo, Ang. 26.--A Washington
pecial dispatch is as follows: A catas-
trophe is reported by the treasury de-
partment from the Arctic regions. 1t is
said that the crews of two small steam
whalers wintsring near the mouth Of
the Mackenzie. about 500 miles east of
Point Barrow, have been massacred by
the natives of that region. All
told, the crews If the two ves-
sells numbered sixty persons, well
equipped and provisioned for long
ssiege, with rifles and ammunition, not
20 much for purposes of defense as for
supplying themselves with game. Whal-
ing crews encainped on the land would
not be under such strict discipline as
might be enforced on shipboard, and If
their intercourse with the natives was
offensive, they have probably been over
powered by superior numbers.

Penn ARGYLE, Pa, Aug. 26.-Fre-
quent showers for the last week and
the heaviest storm Of the season
turned Miners creek, which runs
along the foot of the Blue noun
tains, into a mighty river. A mill dam
one mile from Bangor, this county, gave
way and the rushing waters took every
thing in their path. An embankment
which protects the Bangor Union Slate
conpany's quarry was washed out and
the fnll stream turned into the quarry,
which is one of the largest in this region.
Employees who were guarding the en-
bankment, and who apprehended the
danger, while removing the tools and
psmps from the pit had narrow escapes
from drowning. Many washouts are re-
ported along the line of the Pennsylva-
mia, Poughkeepsie and Boston railroad,
but no serious damage has yet been re-
ported. In this section the storm was
severe, and heavy losses are sustained

The search for Bodies of Victims of the
New Work Horror Continues.
New AYoRk ,Aug. 26.~-From midnight
till daylight the scenes witnessed by the
watchers at the ruins at the fatal fire on
Park Place confirm the belief that the
greater number of the victims will be
found under the center of the debris
where the full weight OF the building
fell. During the night the Italians who
were left at the work of digging for
bodies, every now and again unearthed
parts Of human beings, all in very de-
composed state, legs, arms, feet, and in
enc or two instances heads were found
and placed carefully away with any
parts of clothing that may have been
found near them for the purpose Of iden-
tiAcation, If possible. At 8 p. m. the
thirty fifth body was discovered. It
was found lying underneath heavy
press with only the face exposed. It was
found impossible to remove it until the
press had been lifted. At midnight the
stencil emanating from the place where
the cellar formerly was, was SO ssdlken-
ing that Sergeant Hawley expressed it
as his opinion that the
Most GhastIy Revelations
would be brought TO light there where
the supposed bodies of twenty women,
who were in their dressing room at the
time of the disaster, and none of whom
had been heard of since. Up to $40 one
more had been found, that of man ter
ribly mangled in the shadow of huge
printing press. Shortly after that the
thirty-seventh body was found. 1t was
that of man about 30 years of age.
All those bodies were sent to the
morgue. BY this time the stencil was
almost unbearable, and as day dawned
the greater light revealed four more
bodies anatomically mangled to such a
condition that the limbs and trunks of
the bodies seemed to be separated and
heaped mercilessly one upon the other.
At 5:45 the disembowelled body of q
man was found. He was unrecogniza-
BILE. At a. m, thirty-eight bodies had
been taken out and four more were in
sight in the ruins.
Shortly after noon the four bodies in

least eighty more bodies yet remain in
the wreck.

might go farther and fare worse in the

There, however, was no healthy ad-
vice to the people of Augusta given by
Senator Daniel last Monday, as it affects
national legislation or business interests.
The sentiments he advanced and the no.
tions he maintained, were more calcu-
lated TO demoralize and lead astry than
to impress the Importance of wise laws
and conserve sound policies. The digni-
ty and response bility of law-making, in
volvng the credit of the government
and the welfare of the people, did not
seem to press greatly upon the mind of
theEspeaker. He dealt in hyperbole and
extravagances; in crude and immat ure
notions of public interests; in PROPOSE
tons more appropriate to an old field
school-house debate, than to represen-
tative of great State in the Senate of
the United States.
