out at z 80 this morning in the large retail

first floor and spread through the infiam-
mable stock with the greatest aapidity.
The entire building was soon mass of
flames and every available piece Of fire ap-
paratus was called TO the scene. ANY at
tempt to save the building was hopeless
and the fire department devoted its efforts
toward preventing the flames from spread
ingt o adjoining buildings. About twenty
five employees were in the building at the
time, but all of them, so far as known,
managed to escape uniniured, except one
cash boy who was on the third floor. He

of $500, 900. The loss is believed to have
been fully covered by insurance.

dent and ridiculed it. DR.. Leotholds made
the statement that the left knee was seri-
ousiy injured. he attempted TO walk and
10 remain on deck, but eventually agoniZ-
ing pains in his knee compelled him TO go
below and submit TO the dressing Of his leg.
His knee was swollen and the Emperor
was irritable and feverish. DR.. LeoILold
poulticed ard bandaged the swelling and
sent the Emperor to bed For several
days the Emperor was carried on deck and
there lay quiet on deck chair. When the
bsndages were removed on Friday the in
fammation had been greatly reduced. An
elastic knee cap was then applied and the
Emperor was allowed to walk again.
Aside from the injury to his knee, the En-
peror is in fine condition. despite the ex-
hausting feting to which he has been sub
iected since his departure from Berlin.

MISCHIEF BREEDERS
WOuld-be WreckerS of Banks to
be Hunted Down.
Leading Financiers viii Endeavor to Have
Circulators Of False Rumors Prosecu-
ted and Convicted.

Especial 10 TIE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-%he bankers and
brokers of Wall street are going TO try and
make it hot for the mischief breeders who
have been circulating false reports con
corning the financial standing of some of
the oldest and soundest banks in the city.
Brown Brothers & Co. will make q start
in this direction to-day. Several days ago
a rumor swept through the street that
their house was in trouble Conservative
financiers denounced the rumor as base
falsehood, but nevertheless it created q
nervous feeling in the market, and within
few minutes from the time it was put
afioat, stock Of almost every description
dropped several points. The firm against
which the report was aimed, made every
effort to trace the source from which it
originated ard failed. Friday, Charles d.
Dickey announced his intention of Offering
a reward for the detection OF the culpriL
out this step was rendered unnecessary
when Stephen V. White, also a banker,
called on Mr.. Dlckey and furnished him
not only with the names OF the persons who
started the report, but with the names of a
sufficient number of reliable witnesses to
insure their indictment and probably their
conviction. Arrests will probably be made
to-day, as the firm is determined to put an
end TO this sort of market raiding if il
possibly can.
Mr.. Dickey has been promised the sup
port of a large number of bankers and
brokers in his efforts 10 punish guilty per-
sons, and he has emphatically declared his
intention to pursue the matter to the end.
1t is said one Of the guilty persons is a
prominent member Of the stock exchange,
another is well known on the street, and a
third is conspicuously identified with the
gold stock telegraph.

converts abroad are so informed before
embarking Tor America. 1t was further

THE NEXT CONCLAYE
The Vatican and the Quirinal
Both Interested.
ITALY WANTS 1T HELD IN ROME
She breads Above All Things a Foreign Pope
The Holy See Disapproves the
Cahensley Scheme.

ROME, Aug. 3.-Where shall the next
conclave be held. is the question now being
discussed in governmental circles. The
church dignitaries are interested oOserv =
ers. This question, it is believed, will be
the pivot of the policy both of the Italian
government and of the Vatican. There Is
good authority for the statement that the
Italian government has sent explicit In
structions TO its representatives abroad 10
prevent the colclave from being held away
from Rome. 1t breads above sll things a
foreign pope and a conclave held away
from the Eternal City. All the Italian con-
fidential negotiations with the great powers
are believed 10 be inspired with the dom
mating idea that Italy will respect and safe
guard the liberty Of the conclave and
therefore no nation should offer its hospi-
tally to the sacred college, should the car
dlnals decide TO hold the conclave else
where. Should any change take place the
government would find itself confronted
with an entirely new situation. This would
be the unknown, and the Italian govern
meut fears the unknown, the reopenlng OF
the pontihcial question, morally and politl
caliy, as 1t would be opened, which Is
what the Italian government wishes to
prevent at any price.

A Movement to Bear the Spanish Bourse.

BARCELONA, Aug. 3.-Great excitement
was caused in this city last night by what
was for time believed to De a revolution
airy movement on the part Of the Republi-
can party, but which subsequently proved
to be desperate attempt upon the part of
certain spectators on the bourse TO bring
about a decline in the price of securities
dealt in upon the exchange. For foolhardy
daring, the scheme has never been eaualled
by spectators in this or any other
country. 4 band of fifteen men armed with
rifles aud revolvers, cautiously approached
the building and attempted to surprise the
guards, il being their intention to force
their way into the barracks. The sentries
discovered the approach of the men, whom
they ordered to halt. The men made a
rush upon the sentries, trusting in the con-
fusion which would follow, that they could
force their way to the barracks. AS they
ran towards the sentries they delivered a
volley from their Weapons and some or the
guards fell to the ground wounded. The
other sentries, however, answered the VOL
ley with fusillade from their rifles. For
a short time a regular battle was fought,
and a number on both sides were wounded.
In the meantime the officers stationed al
the barracks, summoned the troops to arms
and in q very short time the attacking
party was surrounded. Resistance was
useless, and the whole party was placed
under arrest They will be tried by court
martial, aud the chances are they will all
be shot.
The persons arrested are Federal Repub-
licans.
PARIS, Aug 3.-Senor Gorilla. Spanish

fies the belief the affair was a genuine re-

publicans.

PULLMAN CAR co.
The Milwaukee Road Files q
Suit Against 1t.
They Want an Accounting Affairs OF
This Perfect Company TO Be
Investigated In Court,

CHICAGO, Aug. 3.-There was filed in the
United States circuit court this afternoon
a suit that may, in various ways, affect
many railroads. 1t is bill in equity filed
by the Chicago, Milwaukee 4 St Paul
railway company against the Pullman Pal
ace Car company for an accounting under
the contract made in 1882, by which the St,
Paul road secured from thirty to forty i've
palace. dining and sleeping cars. The road
charges that the Pullman company, under
the contract for maintaining the cars, made
charges that were grossly excessive and
fraudulent An accounting is sought and
an Injunction restraining the Pullman COM
pany from prosecuting an action at law
against the road for 81 200, 600 now pend
ing in court. The railroad company agreed
to pay such proportion of the general
expenses of the cars compared as the num-
Der OF the cars upon the line bore TO the
whole number of cars run by the Pullman
company. But the bill shows that the
charges, according to this agreement, were
s25.2l on each car for one month, and If
this was the pro rata charge the amount
retained by the Pullman company from all
the companies it had contracts with must
have been Sl,2lS, SIS per annum. Regard
ing the enormous amounts paid to porters
and conductors, according to the Pullman
bill, the railroad company asserts there
was never any detailed statement made Of
the wages paid these employees. The cost
of manufacturing the cars is gone into and
bills for the cost of the cars In question, il
is asserted, are greatly in excess Of the &C
tual cost. L. Walker, counsel for the road,
said this evening: This suit will never
be settled out of court, and we intend to
see If we cannot bring this company to a
proper recognition of the rights of our
company. 1t has never acted fairly and
sauarly in the matter of expenses, and we
intend that il shall be compelled to account
for everything. The state legislature has
sent committee after committee to investi-
gate the Pullman company, but each time
the old report of everything being abso-
lutely perfect and right is made. 1t is
about time the people and railroads of the
country knew how affairs in the Pullman
company are being managed. We propose
to find OUT

Cooper, Hewitt 4 Co. Selling Out.

Especial TO THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch.
New YORK, Aug. Sit has been known
to few people in Wall street for several
days that Cooper, Hewitt & Co. were about
to turn their interests over to a stock COM
pany, and the shares were to be tloated in
the English market. On Saturday it was
definitely learned that the ooper-Hewitt
corporation had been launched IN London
under favorable auspices, and that efforts
were making 10 dispose of the shares upon
valuation which, 1t is thought, will make
the venture q success. The fact that
Cooper, Hewitt x Co. were trying TO sell
oat to foreign investors excited no little
comment, especially when taken in con-
nection with the fact that il the published
prospectus neither the name of Mr.. Cooper
nor 81 MIR Hewitt appeared among the d.
rectors. The directory, according TO the
names which have been published IN Lon
don, seems TO be made up of mixture Of
Americans and Engiishmen, and the COM
biuation, from a Wall street standpoint,
has appeared strong. Among the Ameri-
cans upon the board of the new corpora
ton the name of John w. Mackay appears
with that OF Senator Jones. while several
Of their English colleagues are men of
equal responsibility. The feature OF the
transaction, however, which has excited
the greBtest comment is the fact that a
firm with such big iron interests as-Cooper,
Hewitt 81 Co. should seek foreign investors
rather than sell out in the home market.
